Dear Sirs: A few years ago, New York
daily got.up great agitation for dollar
gas, and got it. The state passed the law,
ard the people liked it, Of course, till the
bills came-in. The bills we're bigger, not
less; the law didn't say what the gas
should be.
The price Of gallon Of honest paint is
sI.75; but there's "paint" all the way from
s. cents to Sr75. A popular is srz z5;
there are scores OF paint" at that price.
Like dollar gas.
II fI.7S is the price Of a gallons Of hon-
est paint, you may be quite sure there are
scores Of paint at all prices from ths,
down, with paint enough in them to pass
for paint. And what are You going 10 do
about itp
II takes from g. to 81 a gallon to pay
the painter for doing his work. 4. il

STATE UNIVERSITY
WILL TEST BRICK
TO SETTLE DIFFERENCE OF oPlE
ION BETWEEN CITY ENGINEER
AND PORTMOuTH MAN.
Board of Local improvements Hears
Both Sides and Orders Ten Re
ected Brick Sent TO Cham
paiun.

At q meeting of the Beard OF Local
improvements yesterday afternoon j.
ID Manning representing the Ports
mouth brick manufacturers was heard
with reference to the work of the city
engineer and his assistants in the
matter OF inspecting and culline the
brick that are being put down in the
Washington avenue pavement. Mr..
Manning contends that the city's in
speotors are throwing out too many
brien: he claims that many Of the
brick thrown out are better than many
that are left inland in fact, the best
in the lot
City Engineer Thistlewood, on the
other hand; claims that the brick
which are thrown out are those which
are overturned or under burned, and
in either case are not likely To stand
the wear aud tear with the rest of the
street. The engineer has secured the
services OF a thoroughly competent
imam to examine the pavement after il
is laid aud before asphalt filler is
poured in. This inspector puts a
black mark on every brick which in
his Judgment should not remain in the
pavement. This includes not only
all brick that are Clipped but all
that are discolored or have not the
proper consistency because of imper-
feet burning There have been quite
number of brick rejected. several
wagon loads In some blocks and Mr..
Manning has protested very vigorous
lily against this.
The Board of Local Improvements
yesterday listened patiently to both
sides and finally voted to send ten
| of the rejected chunks of burned clay
to the University of Illinois, to be
tested in a RATHER huge iron
drum in which the brick are placed
and rolled round and round for a
given number of hours-and the eX

IN SWIMMING
AND IN TROUBLE
BOYS HAVE STIRLING EXPER'
FENCE ON WEST SIDE or CITY
AITH WOMAN AND PISTOL
One OF Them Compelled to March
Through Street Without Any
Trouser-Pants" BY Angry
Mrs. Middleton,

People in the vicinity OF Thirty
sixth street and Highland avenue
were treated TO an unusual exhibition
yesterday afternoon about $3.50
O'Clock. II appears that a number of
boys aged from Is to IL years, took a
notion 70 have a swim in pond near
Fhirty.sixth street and Mississippi
leyee, just opposite the city pest
house. They carried out their notion
and We're having jolly good time,
their clothing being deposited on the
ground near the water. But they had
not taken any account OF the fact that
some people lived in the vicinity who
might object and were therefore sur
prised when srill female voice com.
manded them 10 get out of thefe'
It seems that Mrs George Middleton
and Mrs Croi reside near the pond
and they could see the boys and fels
that their rights and feelings We're
being ruthlessly tr0dden under the
bare feet OF the youngsters. Any
way. in few minutes Mrs. Middleton
appeared pI lut Sttut Hthi ENAli'S q
revolver and ordered the boys out Of
the water. at the same time trying 70
keep them from getting their clothing.
A wild scramble ensued and most Of
the boys got their clothing. but Mrs.
Middleton carried part of the clothing
belonging 10 young RoOse-the most
important part. in fact aud she re-
fused TO give it up. The boy put on
what remained his coat. hat and
shoes, and started out ThirtysiXth
street, following Mrs Middleton, who
carried the boys trousers and shirt
in one hand and her revolver in the
other. At Highland avenue the angry
woman relented and gave the boy his
unmentionable which he donned with
as much grace as possible in the pres
ence OF a large and enthusiastic con-
course Of citizens.
Mrs. Middleton and Mrs Croll feel
that they We're fully justified in re.
sorting to heroic measures to save
themselves so shocking an exhibition
at no matter what cost to the general
public.

the streets which have been ordered
nayed with brick. have water pipe
connection. galvanized iron or lead,
and there will be little or no disturb
auce OF the pavement TO put i'll such
pipes. This is true excepting one
block on Washington avenue. from
Thirtythird to Thirtyfourth streets
one block on Sycamore street and
seven blocks on Poplar street from
Twenty-eighth to Thirty-fft1 streets
where there ar no MEANS. on these
/ blocks the company is putting III
nains or win put them in at once,
fore the brick payements are lali'
The company will also put in latest
extensions from these mains at the
various street intersections, on
streets which have not been filed
to points beyond the line OF the
streets allowed to be paved. so that
the pavements need not be disturbed
when the mains on these cross streets
are to be laid.
Mr.. Cannon says the Water COM
pany purposes 10 keep mp with or

When asked regarding the ordl-
nance introduced al the mayors sug-
gestion, requiring the Water com
panv to bear the cost Of putting in

to bear this expense and it had been

Understanding that the supply piTes
were to be paid for and maintained by
Them. When told that the Cairo City
Gas company put in these pipes at Its
own expense to the lot lines and bore
lall cost Of repairs on them Mr.. Gan
lnon said the gas company put In
uniform pipe at all lots, but tn
water company could not do this, al
Iritizens wanted different sizes OF sur
ply PIPES for water and the ecmpan,
could not put these in until they ha'
indicated the size needed or wanted
The gas company puts in an inch aa'

whereas the water company had tt
nut in half inch, inch lnch-and-a-hai
or two inch pipe, and OF galvanized

the consumer.
But Mr. Cannon said the COMPANY
would do whatever the authoriti p
should consider fair after duly 10
quiring into the matter,
