The Lid Was Lifted

Harry Slaughter, young colored
lad, stood jauntily posed upon the
manhoIe of the sewer i'll front of the
First Presbyterian church at $3.50
o'clock this morning. Anticipating
a few years was Harry. The In
diana laws not being in force here
he gayly lit cigarette, then threw
the lighted match, as he supposed,
to the ground. Alas, for Harry, the
result proved to be a parallel case
with that of little Willie and the
sEvrocket. The match ignited the
sewer gas and the cid was lifted
and Harry with it The report of
the explosion was heard for block.
No damage was done, however, to
life or limb or property. The last
seen of Harry was dusky shadow
fleeting swiftly towards the quiet
and seclusion Of Broad Oaks.

desired to introduce further testi-
mony in his behalf. He stated that
he did not and that he was satisfied
to let the case go at that.
Tt was then announced that the
committee would make its report
and recommendation to the coun-
ell. The concensus of opinion OF
those who heard the evidence is that
the committee will recommend Fox's
removal.

RUPTURE
APPROACHES
~ Aesociated Pres.

BY Associated Press.
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 26-At
twelve O'Clock today one of the Rus
sian attaches was quoted as saying
kilograms had been received from st.
Petersburg but contained no word
that would permit Mr.. Witte to offer
counter proposition to the Japan
ese compromise, and, that unless the
japanese had new proposal, the
conference was doomed and today or
Monday would mark the final ruP-
ture.
It is understood the Presidents
intervention will prolong the con-
ference of the ENJOYS beyond to-
days.
1t is hoped Japan may withdraw
the demand for reimbursement and
propose to sell on commercial basis
the northern half of the Island of
Sakhalin to Russia. It will be diff
ficult for Russia to refuse this after
agreeing to all other conditions.

From the fact that up to this even
ing Warden Cleghorn had received no
word from the governor of longer

will be granted. and that Attorney
Willis V. Elliott of Denver, who is
making every effort to save the boys

the governor that more time should

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION

TeStifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty said
in discussing the proposition to give
to that Commission the power to regu-
late railway rates:
II think the railways should make
their own rates. / think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi-
ness. l have never advocated any
law, and l am not now in favor OF
any law, which would put the rate
making power into the hands of any
commission or any court. While 1t
may be necessary to do that some
time, while that is done in some
states at the present time. while it is
done in some countries, l am opposed
to it. The railway rate is
property. 1t is all the property that
the railway has got. The rest of its
property is not good for anything un-
less it can charge a rate. Now it has
always seemed to me that when
rate was fixed. If that rate was an un-
reasonable rate, it deprives the rail-
road company of its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of a
railroad; 1t is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When
you put in rate that is inherently
unreasonable. you have deprived that
company of its rights, of its property.
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that.
l have looked at these cases
great many times, and l can only
come to the conclusion that rail-
road company is entitled to charge a
fair and reasonable rate, and il any
ef.er of a commission. if any statute
o, a state legislature takes away that
rate. the fourteenth amendment pro-
t,..fs the railway company"

Valuable Street Car Device.

Managers of electric railways in
Cleveland have not idled their time in
discussing the physchological phases
of the fact that women-the majority
of women-face to the rear when
alighting from street car. They
have simply recognized the existence
of the habit, and by the use of a
practical device made its continuance
nearly impossible. inst rail put in
such position that 1t can be grasped
by only one hand. and that the one
that swings its owner head and eyes
to the front. has done the trick. and 1t
is believed that many accidents will
be averted by its adoption. And If 1t
does work as well as expected 1t
seems a moral obligation is laid upon
railway managers everywhere to pro-
tect their woman passengers from
their own carelessness.

Eiaht-Hour Day in Panama.

Washington. June 10.-The opinion
of Attorney General Moody regarding
the application OF the eight-hour law
on the isthmus of Panama was made
public to-day. He holds that the act
of August l, 1892. which limits and
restricts to eight hours the daily SER
vice OF laborers and mechanics en-
ployed by the government of the
United States. or by any contractor or
sub-contractor upon the public works
of the United States applies to the
employment of laborers and mechan-
les in the construction of the Panama
canal.
Tha. act, however. the attorney gen
eral holds. does not apply to the Office
force of the isthmian canal commission
stationed on the isthmus of Panama, or
to any of the employees of the govern
ment who are not, within the ordinary
meaning of the words. "laborers and
mechanics" Also that the scope OF
the act is not limited by the terrific
rial jurisdiction of Congress.

GAS and WATER
rs ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER7
Citizen. of Large Cities Say 1t 10.

New York. June l3.-In the recent
agitation here about the price OF gas.
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon sup
ply of gas as upon a supply of good
water
1t has come to pass that the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, is
cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind of light. Gas
sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet
in large cities and from that to as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lene). and each user makes his own
gas and is Independent of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene is a
more perfect illuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user is about the equivalent of city
gas at SIS cents per thousand.
ACelyltHe is tue
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene flame
is soft. steady and brilliant, and in
quality is only rivaled by the SUMS
rays. II water and a solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result is the making of this wonder
full gas. The generation of acetylene
is SO simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
1t. II it is desired to make 1t for prac-
tical lighting, and to keep it for i'm
mediate use. then small machine
called an "Acetylene Generator" Is
employed. There are many RESPONSE
BILE concerns making acetylene gener-
ators. In practice, this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds. or entire cities
and towns. in the same manner as
ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the
only satisfactory means OF lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun.
try or suburbs at distance from city
gas or electric plants. .
