At Elizabeth, n. J., her husband

Mrs. Washington sat on these occa-

slipping and fnjuring themselves.
During the late slippery weather in
Topeka reports have come in from all
over the city of horses falling to the
broken their legs and were required
to be killed by the humane officer
And when a horse once falls to the
pavement it is the hardest matter in
the world to lift him to his feet They
seem to have dread for the pavement
ever afterward- The asphalt pave

gerouS this kind of weather and 1t is
the pipe dream of the city officials to
adopt the sand sprinkling idea when
the treasury bulges with funds.
Realizing that very few of the
housewives who use gas for cooking
and lighting purposes know how to
regulate the gas Jets or the burners
of a gas range so as to get the maxi
mum amount of illumination or heat
with the minimum amount of eX-
penditure, the gas companies of the
larger cities over the country have
inaugurated a new and welcome de-
partment which has as its purpose
the remedying of the General lack of
knowledge on these subjects The
companies employ women to perform
these instructions and they spend
their time going from one house to
the other over the city explaining to
the housewives the exact use of their
gas ranges and the manner of regu-
lating the pressure in the lights:
These women go into the houses and
spend an hour or 50 with each house
wife telling her of the manv ways of
mi king housekeeping more economical.
One of the valuable little hints dis
tributed by these women is the in
struction as to lighting gas range,
or a light. So many women think
that they should not turn the gas on
until they have a match right at the
| burner ready to meet the first outlet
or two should be allowed to elapse
| before applying the match so that the
gas can expel the air and moisture
| that always collects at the entrance
or outlet of the burner. This makes

Before Topeka becomes too enthu-
siastic over the high pressure water
system and before the city officials
rely too much upon the alleged sue
cess of this system an investigation
into the true facts should be made
The high pressure mains at New York
city have always been held up by mu-
nlclpaHtles as an example OF the greaI
work accomplished by the advanced
theory in fire protection. Several
cities over the country have sent rep
resentatives to this metropolis to
make an examination of the plant,
mains and system as whole in or
der that they might follow out the
plans as carried out by the Empire
city. A few months ago Indianapolis,
Indiana, gave the high pressure idea
a black eye by refusing to adopt It
and turning the whole matter down
saying that they could get more salts
faction out of their regular hydrants
and steamers. Their pressure at the
hyGrant was not any stronger than
the Topeka pressure is at the present
time This Indianapolis incident made
several of the cities who were on the
verge of introducing the New York
idea, sit up and take notice, requiring
a closer investigation. To carry out
the Indianapolis revelation further the
Popular Mechanics, one of the best
mechanical publications in the world
has the following to say:
During a recent fire in New York
which destroyed a six story loft and
manufacturing building, entailing
loss of 100000, the much vaunted
high pressure fire system failed COM
pletely which led Chief Croker to
make the sensational statement that if
the new system which cost the city
millions of dollars continued to fail,
the authorities would have to return
to the old methods"
And still some people say that the
fire department is at fault when bad
fire occurs.

speaking upon the various aspects of
the subject, as had been brought to
the attention of the public, by the
tests of the plan in the several cities
of the country which had adopted
same.
A very concise and deliberate
statement of the cost to the city at
the present time of adopting the COM
mission plan was given in detail by
the speaker. He discussed the con-
tentions of the opposition so far as
the relative cost would be and gave
the body which he was addressing a
history of the method of procedure to
adopt the charter

impressive services were held over
the remains of Albert Mcleod in the
Methodist church Sunday afternoon.
REV. A. A Slyre being assisted by
fpRev. RudisiIi. ~. Nc tLeod met his
death in a Colorado wreck.
Albert Earnest Mcleod, the only
son of Emory and Mary Mcleod, was
horn near Maxtown, Delaware coun-
ty. August 8, 1876. In 1873 he
moved with his parents to farm on
Yankee street, l mile south of Gale
ma, where he lived till the age OF
early manhood.
He was baptized by Rev. E. l..
Smith, pastor of the NJ. e. church or
Galena, February -, 1898. During
a revival service held at the Chris
tian Union church at Maxtown in
the winter of 1897, he was converted,
under the pastorate of Rev. William
Browning, his conversion being an
unusually bright one. Soon after his
conversion he united with the above
named church.
When the Spanish-American war
broke out he was found to be one
among the first to take up arms in
defense of his country, enlistlng IN
company c of the 4 regiment, q. " /.
Soon after he enlisted his regiment
was sent south, in order that they
might be ready at the proper time to
enter the field of the enemy. While
stationed there he was stricken down
with fever, and. according to an eye
witness, his life was despaired of for
two weeks. But. with that courage
which he was always known TO nave
when his regiment was ordered 10
Porto Rico, he went with the rest
Of the bows. though his fever was still
at hundred or more. He took part
in the only battle ON the island, un-
der the command OF Col. A. B. Colt
and remained with his regiment un-
Atil the end OF the war, when he was
Vnustered out.
He was united in marriage with
Miss Chloe Whitney of Berkshire
township, Delaware county, June IA
