mr.. ADDICKS
WANTS CASLEASE
Confirms Statement That a
Proposition for Purchase Of
Philadelphia Co., Exists.

A Philadelphia paper says;
J. Edward Addicks tacitly admit.
ted yesterday that a proposition was
pending to cancel the lease of the
city gas works to the United Gas
Improvement Company on January
1st, 1908, and releasethe works to
some other corporation He said:
1.-The Bay State Gas Company
will be prepared to lease the Phila-
delphia gas works in 1908"
Is there a positive movement
projected to revo ;e the lease of the
United Gas Improvement Company
and are You interested in itH' MIR.
Addicks was asked.
That l cannot discuss I have
nothing more to say he replied.
Public informaticn was wrong in
that that the payment to be made
to the. United Gas Improvement
Company will exceed SIS, 900, 600.
The lease can be revoked and anew
contract made with some other COZ
poration proftably-for the city as
well as for the other corporation.
The Bay State Gas Company is
prepared to take the risk.
GOOD THING FOR A SYNDICATE.
u all not individually ready to
undertake the management OF the
gas works, but with syndicate of
Philadelphia capitalists it would be
a good investment. -
According to the information OBJ
tanned, it is proposed to pass an
ordinance towards the close of the
next Administration revoking the
UnitedGas Improvement Company's
contract, and then surrender the
gas works, by lease, to another
concern in which Jonn NJ. Mack
and J. Edward Addicks are said to
be interested. In connection with
the project the rivalry between the
financial interests represented by
Mr.. Mack and those of which
Thomas Dolan, President of the
United Gas Improvement Company
is the head, was pointed out.
1t was learned yesterday that
conferences to discuss the PROPOSE
ton had been held, and hat M.
AHtk was cognizant Of the plans.
but he was not accessible to report
ers yesterday, aud no declaration
nf bis interest in the scheme was
)btainable.
1t is the opinion that, if the pro
lecl IS carried out, Mr.. Mack and his
financial associates will use the Bay
State Gas Company asthe opposition

4 EuAY Gur,ier,

This is the twentiet h Christmas
for the house of $ Fl. Baynard Com
pany at Fifth and Market and to
our reporter, Mr.. Baynarl states
that so far it isone Of the most sat
isfactory both in the jewelry and
music departments. The designers
Of jewelry have eycelled them
selves this year in producing ar
tistic work along all lines and this
house, always in the lead, has an
unusual large array of the finest and
richest. 1t is no wonder that Mr..
Baynard comments upon the alb.
sence Of finicky criticism to which
merchants are usually treated. The
same condition applies to the music
department. Early selections make
it possible to have the ware-rooms
filled with the very best pianos ard
organs, and sales with them have so
far exceeded any year, which is al
so easily explained when the char
acter Of tho Instruments is con-
sidered. The house is selling the
same makes of pianos that they
started with twenty years ago.
They were standard then, they are
standard now, keeping pace with
all improvements and furnishing
the very best material insuring a
reliability that appears everlasting.
All of the smaller Instruments are in
full array also music rolls and all
findings connected with musical
needs. 1t affords one pleasure to
visit this house and examine the
fine exhibit displayed'Fhe attendants
are all familiar to our people being
reared in tho establishment "nd
familiar with our people and t4Fir
needs. We predict for this house
that this will be its banner year and
are proud Of the 20 year record
made by this house.

Jones had the big fish brought up in town and was exhibiting him on the streets. The alligator gar is not good for food, but the skin no doubt will be preserved and stuffed as sample of what White river can produce in the way of a monster fish.
