cas- AND WAFER
IS ONE AS NECESSARY As THE
OTHER?
Citizen. Of Large Cite. Say 1t Is.

New York, June 13.-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 a sup
ply Of gas AS upon a supply of good
water.
It 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 aset-a-
lene), and each user makes his own
gas and is independent of Gas and
Electric Companies. A%cetylene 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 IS cents per thousand.
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
quality is only rivaled by the suns
rays. II water and q 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. If it is desired to make it for prac-
tical lighting, and to keep it for i'm
mediate use, then a small machine
called an "A.etylene Generator is
employed. There are many RESPONSE
BILE concerns making a%cetylene 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 a distance from city
gas or electric plants.

MYSTERY OF MONEY
SUBJECT ABOUT WHICH LITTLE
is REALLY KNOWN.
Proper Methods Of Acquiring It, or Ito
Wisest Use, Are Matters Upon
Which the Wisest Differ-Has No
Power to Confer Happiness.

For centuries the economists have
been disputing about the definition
and Offices Of money, says the Wall
Street Journal. There are almost as
many different theories Of money as
there are schools in theology. There
seems to be an immense difficulty in
comprehending just what money Is,
what it does in facilitating the ex-
changes of the world and what is, its
influence upon prices. Here is the
most practical and substantial thing in
the world, an article which is in uni
versal use, and which is most eagerly
sought after by people of every cline
and race, and yet how little we know
about it! Even now no one can tell
exactly how much currency a country
needs to carry on it's business and how
large should be the reserves. of gold
against the bank reserves. Even
bankers, whose business all the time
is to deal in money, as others deal in
merchandise, are liable to become
hopelessly confused in a discussion
regarding the principles which under.
lie it's use.
Strange to say, the confusion which
attends an economic study Of money,
also attends any discussion Of the
ethics of money. All the philosophy
in the world has not answered the
question Of how much money it is
wise for a man to possess. How wide.
ly men differ-even' our scholars and
mora 1nstructors-as to the proper
methods of acquiring wealth. We
even dispute as to the wisest use of
money. We are not agreed as to the
distribution of money in charity. It
would seem as if the commonest, the
most universal tool of man, was the
one thing that plagued him the most.
But this is not all. Useful, indis-
pensable as money is, there is moth
ing which is more constantly put to
an evil use, or which is more likely
to destroy the man who Uses it. There
is. something about money which de-
files nearly all who touch it. There
are, indeed, some rare souls that are
immune to it's corrupting influence,
but the great body of mankind are
susceptible to its c%orroding power.
Both lack and superfuity, both poverty
and riches, seem to destroy the finer
ibers of the soul. The individual who
has the most chance of throwing off
moneys baneful influence is he who
stands midway between superfuity
and poverty.
Money is a microbe that poisons
the blood and %perverts the mind and
heart of a man. No one is happy
without it, and yet no one is really
happy who possesses much of it. The
more n gets the more he wants.
Money getting becomes a passion. It
fastens itself upon one like a habit.
Even the opium eater is not more in
control of a demon than one who has
got the itch for money" He becomes
a slave to the very thing which is
intended to be his tool. The disease
affects different people differently.
Some 1t makes sordid, penurious,
mean. Others it leads to lavish dis.
play and extravaganza. Some use it
for mere luxury. Others enjoy it for
it's power. Nearly all, in one way or
another, are changed and often pollut-
ed by the possessions of wealth,

THE CITY RIOTS.

New York seems to be determined to | earn the banner as city of riots. With A frequency that is somewhat monot- onous we read of serious disturbances on the streets. one of the most recent cases being thus described by The Mail:
 policeman who attempted to make a group of loiterers disperse from in front of a cafe in lower Second Avenue maet crowd % Of shoas ossr a1ds gathered. dozens of pistols were drawn, one man was killed and two per sons wosndesd, and 1t taSed a; the re- stations to manage the mob.
 The mob instinct seems to be pre- valent in New York, as it is to some ex- tent in all large cities. We note that the Police Captain of that District says the late mob was against society. and he avows that he will smash that bunch of cadets, grafters and second story men, that composed It."
 We'll. maybe he will. and then maybe he will not. Those mobs and riots are continually occurring, and always we are assured that stop will be put to the shameful business, but always we notice that the stoppage is only tenn porary. Few cities in the world have a more varied population than New York has, and It may justly be said that some of the worst examples of all races and nationalities may be found there. When the depraved and criminals of all races are practically segregated in the slum districts it is little wonder that law and order are at discount. and that riot may start at any hour that will defy the police for the time.
 Undoubtedly one of the great ob- stacles in the way of preserving order in New York lies in the fact that the police system of that city is thoroughly dominated by local politics, or by selfish interests which control all grades, from the highest official to the lowest em- ploye. An appointment to a place does not depend on efficiency or capacity but upon what the applicant has done or can do for the bosses. That this is true to some extent in all cities does not lessen the discredit of 1t in New York. and as long as such a system prevails the city will be disgraced by riots and disorder. It Is serious prob lem in municipal government.

His Grimes Alarm the Law Omcers.
 Incrensing mt Great Rate. Chicago Chronicle.
 Crime on the part of negroes has increased at a startling rate and to such an extent that the officers of the law are seriously alarmed Never in the history of the Cook county jail there at one time as at the present period, and if they continue to arr rive at the present rate the jail will be filled to its capacity with colored prisoners.
 Yesterday morning there were ninety negro prisoners, or one-fifth of the, entire number of persons confined there. As a rule the number averages about twenty or thirty, and fifty has been looked upon as a high mark.
 An investigation by the jail officials has revealed the fact that the predic- tions made by sociological workers and others during the strike have begun to come true. The predictions were that after the strike the city would be burdened with a wave of crime which would continue throughout the winter because of the negroes being forced from their places of employ ment at the end of the strike. A majority of the negroes are illiterate and were imported from the South. Few of them can read or write and when the strike was declared off they were unable to get other employment.

Lumber Prices Advanced. 9tfiaShnrP pFOrraas

Yellow pine lumber manufacturers in Mississippi have generally con formed to the advance of $1 per thous- and on yellow pine ordered by the Southern Lumber Manufacturers As sociation and notice of the advance has been given to all retailers and contractors. The advance has not been found necessary on account of increased cost of production, but the they think Is their just due. Order files are full and constantly increas- ing, while stocks In this State are unusually light for this season of the year
 A tour of the lumber manufactur- ing districts shows not only that the storage yards at the mills are empty the machinery into the cars and hur- ried direct to the markets. The man ufacturers say that if builders imagine that yellow pine Is going to be cheap CT within the next year they may as well disabuse themselves of the idea. On the contrary, an advancing mar ket may be expected as the winter season approaches. The mills cannot supply the normal demand, even when most favorable weather for opera tion.
 Quite a number of new manufac- turing plants have been launched Tn the State during the past thirty days and 1t is understood that Eastern cap italists have been looking over thls territory with the view of establish ing large woodworking concerns that will convert hardwoodS into produets ready for the market.

 Let us regard cigarettes as not hurt ful to the physique of the cigarette smoker, yet all who are acquainted with habitual smokers of cigarettes must have observed what great amount of time Is wasted by them. They can do no steady work with their hands, because the cigarettes demand almost incessant handling. and 1t follows that where the hands are diverted from their proper work in order to roll the cigarette, light 1t. and place it and replace 1t in the mouth (the last opera tlon being repeated a dozen times in the smoking of one cigarette) the minds attention cannot be concentrat- ed upon the work to be done. Quick work and correct work are impossi- ble.
 Therefore. for economy's sake alone. the employer would be Justified in for bidding the use of cigarettes in work ing hours: and, to make sure of getting the time and kind of service he Is pay ing for. he would be wise to employ such persons only as do not use cigar cites at all.
