Unto Delirium Thursday and in a
- .-->- delirium of Joy
since. Quite aside from it's sensational
score it was notable battle that will
be recounted for years by the specta-
tors. The spirit Of Thanksgiving was
somewhat dampened for economical
housekeepers by the extreme price of
turkeys and cranberries, without which
no Thanksgiving feast could give COM
plete satisfaction. First-class turkeys
sold at % cents a pound and were
snapped up at the price and choice cram
berries were is cents a quart, nearly
double what they brought last year.
The advance in turkeys over normal
holiday prices was about 5 cents a
pound Other poultry held at about the
usual price and many fat chickens were
sold in place Of the usual turkey.
There seems to be a disposition of the
gas company to settle the dispute on the
price of gas by agreement. Altho
whether it will
Gas Company Is agree to any
basis acceptable
Inclined to the city does
j not yet appear
:" to End Dispute plainly, but at all
events the COM
panv's representatives express "a great
aversion to litigation and strife. Very
interesting in connection with the stir
up is the large display advertisements
that appeared in all the important Sat
urday and Sunday newspapers calling
attention to "gas users privileges, IN
which it was set forth that the COM
panv. of it's own volition, maintained a
large ana expensive staff of experts
whose services were at all times at the
command of it's patrons gratis for the
purpose of keeping all appliances for
the burning of gas up to their highest
efficiency. The company says 1t WILL
ingly and gladly does everything neces-
sary to the care Of ranges, ETC., except
black them, backing not contributing
to the efficiency of the service. The ad-
vertisement also complained that IN
stead Of calling on the company for the
corrective services of these experts peo-
pie went around abusing the company
The existence Of this corps OF experts
was news to most of. the gas users and
undoubtedly the advertisement will be
of much service to them, no matter
whether the corps is maintained as
matter of philanthropy or business
policy. q 81
