END OF THE CELEBRATION.

FUEL COST FOR THE WINTER.

Citizens Are Figuring on the Goal-

Wood-Gas Plan.

As warmer weather approaches, cttl■ens are exchanging experiences with reference to heating their homes, the last Winter, and are discussing new plans for getting heat another winter. If the current talk is to be relied on. natural gas will be ordered disconnected from many homes before the beginning of next winter. Patrons of the natural gas companies have, ms a rule, been paying double fuel bills the last six months, and as a rule they are declaring that they can not afford to follow this plan another winter. It Is being remarked that if ell these who declare that they Intend to quit the use of natural gas carry out their Intention, householders who continue to patronise the natural gas companies another winter may have an am-

ple supply of gas.

Cost of Half-and-Half Plan. Parsons who last fall arranged to burn both gas and coal-gas when there was plenty of It. and a "little'* ooal when there was not sufficient res say they have found the experiment unsatisfactory. Here is a statement from one North-Side man of moderate means, who lives In a seven-room house, and he axys that all his neighbors have had about the

same experience;

New burner In furnace, so as to be prepared to burn coal with g*» 620 00 Gas for the year 40 06 Two tons hard coal put In cellar.... 14 60 Soft coal to experiment with % fO Wood loo Two tone soft coal put in cellar.... * 00 Wood 100 Two tone hard coal 14 60 One-half ton soft coal 3 IS One-half ton hard coal a 60 Total .....HOT 26 "On top of all this,” said this cltlaen, "the burner In my furnace is te such a condition that I can not burn natural gas on days when it can be had. I bad a plumber come to look at It. the other day, and he telle me It has been burned, to pieces by the coal fire, and that I must get another burner at once. I suppose that means anotber <10, if the combi nation between plumbers and furnace deal-

ers Is still in force.'

Vo Belief la Sight. Cltlaen* say they can not see any prospect of relief by another winter, it a#ut;<i to be well understood that the Council will not take any action, and it to noted that the gae companies may not be expected to do anything toward bettew'-ng

the supply of gas.

It seems to be jnderetood that the gas companies will endeavor to Moure from the Legislature, ne it winter, a law auUu rising municipalities to grant the use of meters in India ta elites and towns, and that with su/h a law In force the companies will make a lierotc effort to secure permission from the City Council to introduce the meter system here.

St. Patrick’s Day Closed with a Banquet—Judge Gibbon’s Speech. The St Patrick’s day celebration ended with a banquet at the Denison House, given by the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick to about one hundred guests. Frank B. Burke acted as toastmaster. The principal speech of the evening waa by Judge John Gibbon, of Chicago, who spoke of “The Couree of Empire,” tracing the extension of civilisation to America, the foundation of the republic and the benign advantages of liberty, which caused so large an Immigration of the Irish. He spoke of their advancement under these Influences. Judge Gibbon talked more conspicuously of the economic problems before the United States to-day. On these he said: “Our industrial condition is fraught with momentous possibilities. A new economic polity is a national necessity. The broadest knowledge of affairs, supplemented by an appreciative recognition of natural justice aiW natural right, must inspire and perfect that policy which will meet the exigencies of the conditions calling for it. I therefore would admonish my countrymen of the danger and emphasise the fateful truth that there can be no true liberty beyond the pale of well-digested law. Progress and reform, liberty and law, are the Inseparable handmaids of a God-fearing

people.

■The troubles and dangers that confront us as a nation must be met and conquered within our own borders. There Is no other possible escape. Emigration has been the safety and salvation of Eastern lands. There can be no etmgraJon from America. This to the Mecca of the human race, the final resting-place

of unresting humanity."

Other speeches were made by Sherman Steele, Mayor Taggart and the Rev. Dennis McCabe and Timothy Harrington. Toastmaster Burke said Judge Gibson’s inference that the right of selfgovernment fell with the destruction of the Spanish fleet at Manila was not to

his way of thinking.

The drama, ’’Kathleen Mavoumeen," was presented at Masonic Hall to a large audience and waa ably performed.
