TO USE NATURAL GAS.
City Electric Light Plant Will Be Re-
paired at Once

Natural gas burners will be INSTALL
ed at the city electric light plant and
natural gas substituted for fuel in
place of coal. The saving it is esti-
mated will amount to at least $500 a
year and probably 5000. In addition
to this it is believed that the services
or one fireman can be dispensed with
which VIII result in a further saving.
me reduction in the running ex-
penses on these two accounts will
therefore approximate $1,100.
The ways and means committee of
the council determined last evening
to expend $4,000 in the way of re-
pairs on the present plant, increase
some of the circuits and take care of
the lighting Of Kansas avenue, which
mas been under contract to the Edi-
son company. The Edison company
has been. furnishing both light and
lamps to the number of 32 on Kansas
avenue. Eight of these. lamps will
be taken care of. Immediately by the
city plant and proper notification of
this has already been made. In a few
more weeks the entire 80 lamps will
pc on the city electric light plant cir
cults The cost of the lamps has
been $4,000 under the Edison con-
tract. The city plant was overloaded
about year ago and the Edison COM
pany was then authorized to furnish
light for thirty-two lamps. The $4,000
rection of the gas and electric lights
committee and will consist of rewind-
ing some of the old armatures, reset
boilers and some of the old lamps re-
paired.
There is some talk of rearranging
the street lights, but the council is GO
ing to run into all sorts of trouble il
they attempt anything of this nature
No particular benefit will accrue as
compared to the difficulty which will
arise in getting councilman IN arcade
to changes.
The committee recommended the
passage of the tax levy of 1890 which
Councilman Montgomery submitted
for adjudication. The council next
Monday evening will finally pass upon
the levy and will doubtless agree to it.
The Kansas Voting Machine com
pany were unable to set up their ma
chine last evening and the commit
tee will meet again this evening when
it is promised that the machine will
be set up for investigation. The coun-
ell will meet later in the evening to
act upon the recommendation of the
committee.

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE PARTY
CHAS. w. LOWERY VICTIM OF
WIFE AND FRIENDS.
z. T. Brantner's Sunday School Glass
Gueoes Of Honor at Big Gather
ing at Mr.. LoWerys HousA.

Quite a surprise was given Mr..
Charles w. Lowery last night at his
residence on Virginia avenue. 1t was
planned and as neatly executed as it
was possible to do by his wife, who
had invited the adult Sunday school
Bible class of Mr.. 2. 7. Brantner, of
the First M. r. church, which is COM
posed of male and female members,
and of which Mr. Lowery is also a
member, to present themselves in a
body at p. m. at her home to assist
in giving Mr.. Lowery a surprise and
to be entertained by his amable wife
To say that Mr.. Low cry was taken
aback would be putting 1t mildly, and
to say that woman cannot keep a
secret has been knocked sky high. II
has been proven by at least one
woman that they can keep secret.
II was the anniversary of Mr.. Low
ery's birthday and there were present
the following persons:
Mr., z. T. Brantner and daughter,
Miss Laura Brantner, Mr.. and Mrs.
Keller, Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver Bentzell,
Mr., and and Mrs John Snowden, Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Harrison, Mr.. and
Mrs. North Clark, Mr.. and Mrs Will.
bur Thurston, Mr.. and Mrs. Fenton
McBee, Mrs. Frank McBee, Mrs
Horner, Mr.. and Mrs F. A. Chambers
Mrs. Jonas Wonord. Mr.. John Brath
waite, Mrs. William Burkhart.
After engaging in singing and so
sial intercourse for a short time the
dining room was thrown open and the
guests invited to a most sumptuous
collation. over which Mrs. Lowery pre-
sided with her usual grace.
It was hard to say good night tc
such people, but as the best OF
friends must part. after spending
more than three hours, all parties re
paired to their homes each one feeling
the truth OF that beautiful virtue:

CHRISTMAS IN WASHINGTON.
Great Prep arations and Inducements
! TIC Visit the Capital.

With the opening of the Sixtieth
Congress and all the glamor and in
new nationa. legislature. Washington
has taken on an unusually lively APP
pearance. Tire eyes of the nation are
turned toward the Capital as the
great source of news. In addition to
the interest attached to the work of
congress. the Bradley trial is calling
forth particular attention.
The merchants of Washington also
as never before, are offering to Christ
mas shoppers unusual bargains and
particularly tempting inducements
The Washington Chamber OF Com
merce is advertising that it will re
fund railroad fares to Christmas shop
ers. announcements of which appear
i'm our advertising columns.
A visit to Washington is at all times
desired by every patriotic citizen.
just at this time additional induce
ments offered in the way of the saw
ing of raj '~oad fares by the Chamber
of Commerce presents an unuual OPP
portunity to make profitable visit to
| the city
| OF course. in these DAYS of railroad
regulations. the railroads themselves
\ are afraid to offer even semblance
of reduced fare, but this has been
overcome by the enterprise OF Wash
| ington merchants. Their shops are fill
ed with thousands of beautiful things
that cannot fail to tempt the shopper
bent on selecting for Christmas gifts
the most pleasing articles at the low
est cost The special inducement Of
making the cash refund Of railroad
fares to buyers from the surrounding
states is resulting in hundreds of Wis
itors coming to the city who would
not be attracted even by the opening
of congress.
One Of the chief features of interest
i'm the city at this time is the new
$2o,OOO.O00 Union station. All the rail
roads entering Washington now come
into this magnificent edihce.
At the corner Of Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, ~ w,
right in the heart of the busiest sec
ton OF the city, one block from the
treasury, the Chamber of Commerce
has fitted up special reception and
parcel rooms for the convenience of
visiting shoppers. Here may be had
illustrated souvenirs and guides. maps
and any information about the city
that the visitor may need. The Cham
Der of Commerce extends warm
welcome to the citizens of the sur
rounding states Never before in the
history Of business Washington has
there been such enterprise on the part
OF her merchants and this is being ap-
preciated by the visitors.
One of the most interesting guides
to the city Of Washington. with illus
trations and a map of the city show
, ing the location OF the public build
|, ings, theaters, hotels. etc. has been
printed by the Chamber. This can be
