Cheaper gas. is being agitated agai

Cheaper gas is being agitated again
BY Mr.. Joseph WaIlerstein, Councilman
from Madison Ward. The price Of gas
can only be reduced on Februarp ist. and
the ordinance governing the gas works
provides that the price OF gas shall be
reduced each year, if the income exceeds
the running expenses. together with s
per cent on the valuation of the plant,
set at $1.0oo0oo. and 10 per cent. for wear
and tear. The gas works Tnade S10o. 900
last year, including the interest on tho
valuation and the credits for supplying
the city Offices and lighting the streets.
Councilman Wallerstein proposes that
the price shall be placed at eighty cents
TO the manufa cturerS and other large
consumers. An officer Of the Gas Da-
partment in discussing this proposition
yesterday, said:
III It is Mr. wallerstein's idea TO en-
courage the use of gas for fuel purposes.
why not extend this reduction to the
thousands of consumers who gas for
cooking and heating? If it is mis- idea to
give special rates to big consumers. why
not give such rates to all business men
who consume large quantities of gas
and 10 the hundreds Of ladies in this city
who are scuffling to make a living by
keeping boarding houses? Large gas bills
IS one of the many troubles this latter
class has to contend with, and they have
my sympathy. cannot approve of Mr..
wallerstein's move to confine the benefits
OF cheaper gas to a few manufa cturers
who use gas engines. It would be bet
ter to use a part OF the surplus from the
Ras works to build the much-needed stor-
age holder in the West-End and then re-
Auce the price OF gas used by all con-
sumers.''

CHARMED THEIR MONEY
When They Went to Look For 1t
the Coin Had Vanished
With the Charmer.

Portland, Ore, Dec 26.-COmpiafnt
has been filed in the district attorneys
Office charging A De Amandus. a
clairvOyant. with the larceny Of SI.02S
from a Mrs. Moore and another woman
living at MOnta Villa. suburb. The
women had visited AmandUs several
times at his Office at 167 First street.
and he had gained their confidence. He
asked the women to bring him 1880
in bills, telling them that he would
charm the currency and il would be
transformed into a box of gold Of
fabulous value.
The women finally raised Stops in
currency, which they gave to the clair
voyant. He placed il in an envelope,
sealed il and handed an envelope back
to them. He told them to bury the
money and not to dig il up until Dec
% They hurried away 10 their home
and buried the envelope according &c
Instructions. On Dec. % they dug up
the treasure, expecting to find a huge
box Of gold. Their disappointment
was keen when they found nothins
but the envelope which had beer
buried. With trembling hands they
I opened the envelope. and found a bunch
of newspaper clippings IN place of theiI
Stops. Complaint was made to the dis
trict attorney and detectives We're sent
TO arrest the clairvOyant, but no traces
of him can be found.

sode in which Great Britain has en-
gagged in in recent years"
