When Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Pimples, or other skin diseases make their appear ance it Is a sure sign that the blood Is filled with humors and burning acids. These being forced through the pores and glands burn and blister the skin, pro- ducing the eruptions which are usually accompanied with intense itching, and are disfguring and humiliating.

QUEER DOINGS OF
CONSOLIDATED GAS
COMPANY HAS BEEN BUYING GAS
FROM % CENTS TO 40 CENTS
PEI 1000 CUBIC FEET AND SELL
1T AT 81.

New York. April S.-Nearly five billion
of the thirteen billion of cubic feet of
gas supplied consumers of New York
city by the Consolidate Gas company
last year was purchased from the New
Amsterdam and other gas companies at
the sale price of from % to 40 cents per
l00c cubic feet This fact was brought
out today during the examination OF
BENJAMIN A. Whitley, assistant secretary
OF the Consolidated Gas company, before
the legislative committee which is in
curing into the lighting conditions in
this city. The Consolidated company sup
plies gas to consumers at 81 per 1000 Gu
bic feet.
Robert A. Carter, secretary of the COM
pany, who followed Mr.. Whitley on the
stand. was asked to explain what DISPOSE
tion had been made of the $2O'0OOOOO
which was realized when the capital
stock of the company was increased
from $4,000, 900 to $1D0,00000O. He replied
that it had been used for construction
purposes" BY referring to statement
which had been prepared for the commit
tee, however, Mr. Hughes found that
nearly $4,000, 900 of this sum had been
invested in corporate stock of the city
OF New York at low rate of interest
while the stockholders were being paid
interest on the sum at the rate of six
per cent
Mr. Carter explained this was done be-
cause the company might need the money
at any time, and wanted to have it avail
able He did not know that 1t would be
wanted in three months, or even in six
months, however
Meantime, you are paying per cent
on this $12,0OO,O00 out of the profits of the
company and charging up these payments
as part of the expenses of gas making?'
said Mr.. Hughes.
Precisely" replied the witness.
Counsel for the consolidated company,
upon being given leave to supplement Mr..
Carter's testimony explained that the
company happened to have the $4,000 900
on hand because it took advantage of the
market last year. The conditions of float
ing stock at this time were favorable and
consequently was issued and sold

Nearly dozen arrests of suspcously

Nearly a dozen arrests nave been made

AT midnight the police had the crowd
