Such performances as We're given
at the Cairo opera house last night
and the night before came properly
within the meaning of the ordinances
prohibiting improper shows, and ought
not to be permitted They are utterly
without merit from any point of view,
serving only TO pander TO what is low
ih human nature. Almost the same
thing may be said of the performance
at the Arcade last night, and one at
the Pathe some nights ago. Such per-
formances or picture shows at The

A MATTER OF MONEY.

The esteemed Evening Citizens
attempt to discredit the financial
statement submitted to the council
Tuesday night by Alderman Grea-
ney as chairman of the Filanc,
Committee, is ingenious but il will
not bear the light of reason.
II takes exception TO the alder
mans statement that the city's run
ming expenses last year exceeded its
revenue by s9.2s44s, claiming that
the excess Of expense over income
was $l7.7O9.25. The mistake the
contemporary makes is that il wouli
count the cost OF levee work as part
of the running expenses of the
city. but refuses to take into ac-
count the existence OF the Ievee
fund out OF which this cost was
paid.
BY way of illustrating its conten-
ton il offers the case Of Jones" II
saws: Jones had 81 00l in the bank
he carmel 81 600 fast year. his ex.
penditures during the year were So
600: Where is Jones? He Is broke
and is $1,000 in debt
But II the contemporary applied
the same rule Of reasoning to Mr.
Jones case that Il insists on ap-
plying 20 that Of the city Of Cairo. il
would ignore the $1,000 wnich
Jones" had in the bank and bring
him out s2.009 in debt Instead Of ST.

has slipped a cog"

in GASOLINE
Keeper of Island City Boat

Put Out Blaze.

Present of Mind of William Ridenour
Saves Building-Two Calls to
James Restaurant.

William Ridenour. the keeper of the
harbor of the Island City Boating as
sociation at the foot of Twelfth street,
had narrow escape from serious in
jury or possibly death, last evening,
when some gasoline which he was
handling caught fire and threatened
the gasoline tanks near which he was
standing, as well as the club house at
the harbor. The accident occurred
about O'Clock when Mr. Ridenour was
drawing five gallons of gasoline from
the two large tanks which he has out
side of the house. The measure in
which he was drawing the gasoline
was nearly full, when suddenly. the
whole thing was enveloped in a mass:
OF fiameS. The fumes of the gasoline
had carried the flame from lighted
lantern to the gasoline in the measure.
With rare presence of mind, Mr.. Rid
enouh shut off the flow of Gasoline
from the tank, and set about exiting
uishing the blaze which had caught
fhe case in which the large tanks are
kept. Although his right hand and arm
seorched also. the keeper worked with
several others until the last vestigc
nf tho fro was extinguished by the
use of sand, and then he had to have
his injuries dressed He viii be in
capacitated fer work for several days,
but he is fortunate to have come out
of the danger with no greater injuries.
Had the fire reached the main tanks,
he would probably have been killed
and the place would Undoubtedly have
been destroyed.
