the municipal works to private inter
ests for q; years. 1t was this lease,
damned through the councils 10 days
ago, that precipitated the popular up
rising.
Mr.. Dolan addressed long letter
to the presidents of the two council
manic bodies, reciting how advantage
ously the plan would have been Tor
the city, and added:
This proposition, as with all bust
ness propositions in which the public
are involved. was, of course, proper
subject for public consideration and
discussion. Instead of the PROPOSE
ton being discussed as business one
from the standpoint of facts open to
those who cared to investigate and
discuss the subject there has been
little but bitter denunciation. The
manner in which the whole subject
has been treated induced this COM
pany to believe that the community
is opposed to any extension of the gas
lease upon any terms. This being So,
this company is unwilling to accept
the ordinance which has been passed,
or to enter into any contract whatever
with the city looking to any variation
of the terms Of the present lease. The
United Gas Improvement company,
therefore begs respectfully to advise
the councils that for the reasons
above stated, should the pending ord-
nance become law, it will not be &C.

Two Conditions Responsible.
Two conditions brought about this
remarkable victory Of the people over
organized wealth and intrenched po-
litical power. One bore heavily upon
the politicians themselves, and the
other was aimed at the richest and
hitherto most respected citizens of the
community.
The gas lease fight served as text
for many sermons in the Philadelphia
churches. There were few houses Of
worship where the sensational Incl
dents Of last week were not touched
upon. " ME dill luS CIeISs uuSH VIII
referred to the contest expressed graf
ification over the result of the agita-
ton against the lease, many Of them
exhorted the members Of their con-
gregations to keep up the fight and
support the mayor in his struggle.
Mayor Weaver attended divine SER
vice in Tempe Baptist church and
taught his bible class at the church
as usual. Mr.. Weaver was called
upon to speak few words and among
other things said:
Its the peoples victory. The peo-
pie have given me entirely too much
credit. 1 say to you its victory-a
magnificent victory of the people. But
in exaulting in victory, splendid as it
has been. we must not for a moment
imagine that the task has been &C
complished. We shall have long and
probably tedious fight before us, but
with the help Of God, the people will
eventually come out victorious.

Waterprootinx Dress Goods.

One of the most important processes
used for waterproofing dress materials
Is on the lines Of the old aiumila proc
ess. In this case the factor used is
rosln dissolved in large bulk Of pc
troleum spirit. The fabrics to be proof
ed are passed through bath Of this
solution and dried to drive of the
solvent. Following this, the goods are
treated by pressing with hot polished
metal rollers. This last process melts
the small quantity OF rosin which Ia
deposited on the cloth and leaves each
single dber with an exceedingly thin
Aim Of rosin on 1t.
