The Commissioners, at the next session
OF Congress. will renew their recon-
mendation that the price of gas in the
District of Columbia be decreased to the
lowest point consistent with a fair profit
to the gaslight companies" They an
nOunee that they are in favor Of making
that price 20 cents, If it viii afford a fair
return.
This announcement was made in re-
Spouse 20 a letter of inquiry from W. J.
Norris Of 1914 L street, who calls TO the
attention of the Commissioners the vol
untary reduction Of the price Of gas by
the Boston Consolidated Gas Company
Letter from Mr.. Morris.
Mr.. Morris says:
'T presume that you have noted In the
public press the voluntary reduction by
the Boston Consolidated Gas Company of
the price of their commodity TO 50 cents
per 1000 cubic feet. I therefore take the
liberty to ask if there is any prospect
that your honorable board will, on the
assembling Of Congress, on behalf OF the
District. the government. and private con-
sumers. recommend to Congress at least
a like reduction here, as there seems no
probability that Il viii be voluntarily
made.
"As we are nearer the source Of gas
coal. there would Stem to be no reason
why gas cannot be produced here at the
same or a less price than at Boston. That
81 is excessive in this day and generation
is sufficiently proved by the occasional 100
rDar cent evfra dividends 10 which our
company has to resort to to get rid of
the abnormal profits of 81 gas.
Whatever IS to be done in the matter.
it is submitted that. prima facie. your
honorable board should take the initia-
tive"
VIII Renew Efforts.
Upon recommendation OF Commission
er mcfarland, Mr. Morris will be in
formed that the Commissioners viii re-
new to the next Congress the statement
made by them to the last Congress that
they believe that the price Of gas in the
District Of Columbia should be decreased
TO the lowest point consistent with a fair
profit TO the gaslight companies.
They are IN favor Of making that price
IS cents If 1t will afford a fair return.
Also that the Commissioners have not
the means Of determining what would be
a fair return to the gaslight companies
In the District of Columbia, and that they
so stated in the report referred to. add
ing that Congress could command the
means of ascertaining that fact and that
il had repeatedly made Investigations
through its committees with such an OBJ
ject in view.

One rhinn Held Him Back.

There was racket of some kind in our house last night said the man who lives in flat building. Screams came from one of the rear flats and everybody was looking out the win dows to see what the matter could be. Various exclamations and conjectures were made by the rubbernecks and soon several women were screaming in sympathy. Presently out of the awful din rose a deep masculine voice exclaiming in exasperation and with the manner of one feeling around in the dark: 'Td go for policeman if I could find my pants."

appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and arc essential to permanent success and creditable standing Accor- ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any facilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time.
 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and it's component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it : free from all objection able substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading drug gists.
