Tired of Coward in Life.
Governor Cummins in his address re-
ferred to the inestimable service done
by Governor. Van SAINT in crushing the
merger. He thought this the greatest
service which had been done the ma
ton in hundred years. He said that
above all things he honored Governor
Van SAINT for his courage in this fight
against such incalculable power and
influence. He said, too:
II am tired of the coward in public
life, | have grown weary Of the man
who in the face Of emergency stands
shivering and praying for time in
which to make up his mind. l love to
see man who, surrounded by all the
Influences that this world can com

to know that Governor Van SAINT was

New York, June 13.-In the recent

cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its

modern improvements in burners, is

than any other kind of light, Gas
sells at S100 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

Acetylene is the modern artificial
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
