 No Gas for Bill" The committee on arrangements of the white way or gas arcade ce'ebra ton, which occurred Friday night at lcnsley, were disappointed in the resusa, cf an orator who, notwithstanding the fact trat he was personally invited to epeal-, abso- lutely, rnequivocally and positively .e- fused to display his oratorical accom- plishments on that occasion. His narle is William c. Suppler. He holds the re- sporsible position of superintendent of he electrical department at the steel mill, and is an expert on everything eec- trical. His strong point in orstory is his voice. which Is full grown ard re- sonant. and he has healthy notion low to use it. It is as great in quality as 1t Is in quantity, and combines the charm Ing tones of a one-lunged bullfrog with those of an asthmatic calliope. Not orly did he refuse to make speech, but came near licking the gentleman of He brew persuasion who rendered him the Invitation on the grounds that 1t was be- heath the dignity of a Son of Jcve'' to attend q celebration where gas was &C., tually used in place of electricity, and that 1t was adding insult to injury to ask him to gas on that occasion.
