GAS COMPANY FILES PETITION
Consolidated of New York Asks foI
Modification Of Decree.

A petition for rehearing or rodihca-
ton OF its decree was made 70 the ST.
preme Court. yesterday, by the Consol-
dated Gas Company Of New York
The court in its recent decree made pro
vision for the company TO come into
court again II It was found the S0-cent
rate fixed by the State law. was not. after
fair trial. sufficient 10 yield per
cent on the value of the company's in
vestment. whereas the annual report OK
the company showed a net profit OF less
than > per cent after returning 10 con-
sumers the sums deposited representing
the difference between 81 and 50 cents a
thousand feet.
The brief AYERS that almost any Of the
points il sets forth, If corrected, would
place the So-cent rate in the confscatory
class
The brief urges the court, IN case a
rehearfng is not granted. to modify its
decree rather than send the bill back TO
the Circuit Court for further proceedings
The brief contends that the company
would by the latter action lose control Of
the ss.0eo,o0o deposited, which Is its only
security against & final demonstrate
that the so-cent rate IS invalid More
over. the dismissal OF the bill would
leave the company unprotected against
the enormous penalties imposed for failure
to comply with the pressure provisions,
and would make valueless the mass Of
testimony that has been taken at great
cost

The Mining King snd Mining

MiliOnaiTes OF tO-day-and there are
many OF thern-Were content 20 begin at
the bottom when first engaging IN mining
affairs They did not buy mining stocks
when they had evidently touched high
water mark. bat they loaded up with Sc
curities based on prospects Of evident
value and almost undOubted outcome
With the successful development of these
their shares enhanced in value. and
scores Of cases can be cited where men
made investments in shares in this line
Of securities, who, putting IN a few cents
only per share, have been able, within q
period Of one, two. or three years, to sell
out for as many dollars This IS the
speculative side Of mining. The invest
ment feature is the buying Of shares at
a nominal figure and then waiting until
the company or companies reach the divi-
dend-paying stage. Here the investment
IS doubly valuable. as the income from
dividend payments is generally both reg
ulaT and heavy, often meaning more than
100 Per cent on the money invested while
the enhancement Of stock quotations Of
ten runs the value OF the investment up
into the hundreds, thousands. or even
millions. Indeed, We know OF numerous
instances where a few hundred dollars
invested in the treasury stock Of q new
company has made independent fortunes

MY personal examination OF the inspec-

/ my study OF the reports and literature
pertaining 70 the manufacture OF nlum-
mating gas have brought the knowledge
and information that the use Of water
! gas Is very general In the large cities
! OF the United states, and, so far as
know or an advised. there is no city
in the United States where the use OF
water gas IS forbidden. IN view OF these
facts, did not deem IL my duty 10

! Ience OF carbon monOxide in the gas sup
piled by the Washington Gaslight Com
pany, further than 10 report. as I have
done annually, that The gas supplied by
this company is a mixture OF carbureted
water gas and OF coal gas. Both kinds OF
gas are poisonous. and contain carbon
I mOnoxlde, although. as above stated, the
water gas contains q greater proportion
OF carbon monoxide than does coal gas.

cent investigation. il had never come

water gas in any Of the cities OF tho
country has been attended by any more

publication IN a newspaper Of this city OF q

this general subject. The report OF tre
interview IS so replete with errors as 10
wholly fail TO show what I actually told
the representative OF the paper. For IN
stance, 7 an made 10 say that water gas
Is no more dangerous than coal gas. As
a chemist having q knowledge Of thu sub
Jet, I could not make such q statement.
and, in fact, dic not so state. What
did say was that. y there was a perfect
combustion and there was no defect n
the fixtures, there would be no more dan
ger IN the use OF one gas than IN the use
OF the other. Naturally. however. as gas
in which carbon mOn0xide runs from 2.

SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Found q Cure In CutIcura.

"Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks / took him
to the doctor but 1t got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But found remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment. The result was almost mag
ical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the slight
est symptom of it since he was cured.

HE KNEW HOW TO PICK THEM.
Tammany Mans Double-BarreIed Conf

Of HostiIities.

The orchestra was playing loudly In
one of the restaurants in Denver, Col.
during the Democratic national con-
vention, and the diners were talking
loudly SO they might hear and be
heard. At one table sat a beautiful
woman and her escort and at the next
table number OF Tammany men.
Suddenly the orchestra stopped,
bling! and a Tammany mans voice
rang out: by George, that's a good
looking woman! I'd like to meet her"
The man at the next table, who was
with the lady came over, tapped the
Tammany man on the shoulder and
said frigidly: "Sir, that lady is my
wife,"
Shake" said the Tammany man;
II am glad to meet you. You certainly
are a good picker"
And hostilities were averted.-Sat-

at the light and one hand idly drum
ming on the desk before him, of the
pair who were i'm the garden-discuss-
ing books he told himself with an odd,
bitter smile.
There had been a time when Ark
wright was wont to joke among their
friends about the congeniality of his
wife's and Cartons tastes, and to pro-
test that he was growing jealous, but
that was long ago. before his eyes
were opened to the truth.
He wondered how long the-it had
gone on before he had found it out,
how long he had been that most pitt
able of human beings, the man who is
being fooled.
There was no bitterness in his heart
towards her. only deep pity and a
keen regret that he had persuaded her
to marry a man she did not love.
She had told him this quite frankly
before their marriage, but ii had not
made him afraid. In time, he was con
fident, he would be able to win her
heart; such love as his must beget an
answering love, he reasoned in his
folly.
In spite of his pain, Arkwright found
something ludicrous in the knowledge
that Carlton had succeeded where he
had failed, he who in the outside
world was called successful man.
while Carlton-well, there was nothing
against Carlton. but then there was
nothing to him either, Arkwright
thought.
AS yet neither of the pair suspected
that he knew. He had gene on as
usual letting them, il they took the
trouble to think about the matter, be.
lieve him still the fool.
He had vague feeling that this
pretense of being blind was not the
straightforward course (and Ark
wright above all things had always
prided himself on being straightfor-
ward), and yet, after all, what could
he do? What was there to do?
Perhaps some time in the near fu-
ture death would solve the difficulty
Arkwright hoped so and, since he
seemed to be fifth wheel, that he
would be the one to go, which was un-
selfish of him, when one considers
that he was we'll and strong and did
not want to die.
He did not blame Edith--such re-
sentiment as he felt was all for Carl
ton-but IL hurt him TO have to think
of her as hypocrite. why need she

Dinner was drawing to a leisurely
close. A little breeze, welcome after
the heat of the day, came In through
the lace curtains and swayed the flow
9rs on the table, around which sat
Arkwright and his wife and their
guest, Oliver Carlton.
There were not many evenings now
adays when Oliver was not in what
had grown to be called Mr.. Cartons
place" I'm town he was always
dropping in on some pretext or other
late in the afternoon, and they had
fallen into the habit of expecting him
TO remain TO dinner.
Here at their summer home other
guests came and went, but Carlton
stayed on, occasionally going up to
town for a few days, but always re-
turning sooner than he had intended.
That he liked to be there was scarce
ly to be wondered at. The Arkwrights
were charming couple; young and
rich, besides having a delightful way
Of making their guests welcome.

Mrs. Arkwright rose with the gentle
grace natural to her and moved to-
wards the door, her husband and Carl
ton following. These two never lin
gered at the table after she left it,
In the hall Arkwright left the others,
turning his steps in the direction of
the library. His wife's' eyes followed
him.
Wont you come out to the garden
with us?" she asked; 1T is cooler
there"
Yes, do come" urged Carlton; its
much too warm to stay in the house.
Arkwright shook his head; he had
letters TO write, he gave as excuse.
Carlton and Mrs. Arkwright passed
out to the cool darkness of the gar
den, while the master of the house
went into the libary, not TO write,
but to sit and think, With eyes staring
