THE SERVICE HAS BECOME SO POOR THAT STOCKHOLDERS WISH TO STOP THE ASSESSMENTS AND JOELL PROPERTY. New Castle, Inl., Dec. 26. After warm discussion among the stockholders a petition has l3en filed in court to have a receiver appointed for the Citizens' Gas company, which is a mutual concern. The petu, ion is signed by twenty-one stockholders of the company, who ask that tie officers of the company be enjoined from collecting any more assessments on stock. It is stated that assessment! liave boen directed and collected to the amount f 37." per cent of the value of the stock; that the company has a plant worth $40,000. but on account of other gas companies operating: ncaj- it can no longer supply them with gas; t!aat it is useless to drill any more wteGs. and that the value of the plant is cmly value to sell. The complaint charges that only a few of those near regulators and on high pressure lino get any benefit of the service, white others, who do not get any se-vicc ;re compelled to pay the assessments and expenses of the company. No chaises by the officers of misconduct in the affairs of tho company are made, but the service has become so poor that the stockholders desire to stop the assessments and sell the property.

DID NOT RECEIVE PRESENTS. Saloon Men Refused to Give 'of Whiskey. Bottles New Castle, Ind.. Dec. 26. For the first time in years men who are in the habit of going: to saloons to get "Christmas presents" in the shape of a small bottle of whiskey, etc., were disappointed in this city last night. Not a single saloon in the city gave away any "presents." The fact that a blanket remonstrance is on file in this county and will have a hearing early next month, with a possibility of nutting the thirteen saloon men out of , business, makes them careful about giving away all their profits just now. Several of the saloon men, fearful that the remonstrance will put them out of business, have already beguu to cut down expenses and are watching the expense account as they never did before. One of them has given up a $20 a month house and has fitted up living-rooms over his saloon as a means of saving money. The moderate drinker, the occasional and drinker, the spasmodic drinker the "sot" were all compelled to buy their own "present" or do without it. And the remonstrance is blamed for it all.

Mrs. William A. Taft, wife of the American secretary of War, and Mrs. George Post Wheeler, formerly Miss Collie Emilie Rives, wife of the Secretary to the American Embassy at Tokio, who had a terrifying experience on board the lighter Holland off the shore of Boulogne. Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Wheeler left Boologne in a small boat for the steamship, President Grant. A heavy sea was running and the lighter's rudder was broken, thus leaving the tiny craft at the mercy of the waves, where it bobbed about like a cork and threatened to smash on the rocky shore. Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Wheeler were in the small cabin. Furniture was thrown about, and a swinging lamp crashed to tho floor. Both women had narrow escapes from injury. The lighter finally fastened on anchor, mado repairs, and proceeded to the President Grant, on which Secretary Taft awaijed his wife. The sketch is based on a cable description. CAMBRIDGE CITY, HMD.

COUNT MAI NOT MARRY ft VANDERBILT , . , , Fresh Crop of Rumors About Broken Troth. MOTHER KEEPS SILENT. New York, Dec. t. Mrs. Cornelius Yanderbilt, in her home at Fifty-seventh .street and Fifth avenue, last night announced that he had no statement to make regarding the report that the engagement between Miss Gladys Yanderbilt and Count Szechenyi, of Hungary, has been broken. When asked to deny or affirm the rumor that had become current in society circles regarding the broken engagement, Mrs. Yanderbilt said: "I have absolutely nothing to say regarding such rumor, and have no news to give out regarding the wedding." Other members of the household, including Reginald Yanderbilt and Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, who was Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt prior to her marriage, were equally reticent when referring to the engagement. They referred all inquiries to Mrs. Yanderbilt, stating that she was the only person authorized to speak on the subject. A Lost Art.

THE OBJECT IS TO PREVENT GOVERNMENT FROM KNOCKING DOWN BARRIERS IN PROHIBITION TERRITORY.

Washington, Dec. 20. The temper ante forces of the United States are very apt to score at this session i f Congress. A noteworthy change of! sentiment among members toward the so-called temperance question is apparent. And one of the significant things is the way the Southern Democrats are coming to the front in support of the legislation the temperance forces have been seeking, unsuccessfully, these many years. Two things are asked of Congress: 1. An act requiring an applicant for tax receipt (government license) to exhibit to the revenue collector, a state, county or municipal license showing a legal right to sell intoxicating liquors at the same place and for the same time for which the "government license" is sought. "J. The enactment of an amendment to the Wilson law which will permit states to protect their liquor laws from "outride nullification" nullification by the snipments into a dry territory of intoxicating liquors from other states. The senate committee on the judiciary, will, as soon as congress reconvenes after the holidays, take up both of these questions from a legal standpoint. One of the last acts of the senate before it quit work for the holidays was to pass a resolution instructing this committee to look into the question and report as to whether it is feasible to enact a law which will estop the government from issuing "government licenses" to applicants who are unable to comply with the state liquor laws. MODERN PAPER. Not So Good or Lasting as the 0!d Fashioned Kind. "The men who wrote history on tablets of stone iu ages gone had a difficult task to perform and had to cultivate the habit of brevity," says a writer in a German paper, "but what they Wrote was preserved. It will be different with the newspapers and books of the present time. The paper upou which they are printed will disintegrate in a few years and the recordshistorical, scientific and literary will become dust. "I saw two papers recentls which told the whole story. One contained an account of the death of Napoleon Bonaparte. It was printed in 1821. was in a state of perfect preservation ami looked as though it might last with ordinary care a hundred years. The other paper was kept because its leading article described the surrender of Sedan, which had taken place a day before. Although it had been printed nearly fifty years later, the Sedan paper had to be handled carefully to prevent its tearing in the creases. One of these papers was printed on old fashioned paper and the other on the modern kind. "With the two specimens before me I cannot refrain from urging once more that a few numbers of all books and newspapers, enough for all first class libraries, be printed on good paper for the benefit of those who will live after us." THE SKYROCKET. How It la Made and the Reason It Rises In the Air. Of all fireworks none is. more beautiful from a pyrotechnic point of view or more generally popular than the skyrocket. The powder ingredients are sulphur, charcoal and saltpeter, roughly in the proportions of fourteen, twenty-six and sixty respectively. Except in the case of military or life saving rockets, the cylindrical case is of paper or pasteboard, somewhat constricted at the fuse end. Into this the powder is rammed tightly, a conical space being left for the insertion of the quick match which passes through the constriction, or "chokehole," into the mass of powder. This forms the body of the rocket, which is closed at the top with a plaster of paris plug. Through this a small hole filled with a fuse communicates with the conical shaped head, holding stars, serpents, cracken or gold or silver rain. The whole is, of course, attached to a slender stick to direct its flight. On the fuse being igni-d and the main cylinder of powder exploded the enormous quantity of heated gases generated force their way downward through the narrow box, urging the rocket upward in the air. Pearson's. Power of Habit. The power of habit was strikingly illustrated not long ago in a shirt waist factory. One woman who had done nothing but sew up the seams of sleeves for four years was taken off that particular job and was asked to run up seams in the body of the waists. She complained that the change made her so nervous that she could not work. "But what Is the difference?" asked the foreman. "There iR nothing but a fctraight seam here, jut the same as you have been ned to." "I know." replied the woman with true feminine logic, "but It isn't sleeves." And it did Indeed prove to be a fact that owing to her four years of steady work oa sleeves it took her fully that many weeks to overcome her nervousness sufficiently to run the machine at -. out o. .- nrtrtnnfrt t, n .J -V.n-. rofn n- an. ether .part of. the waist-Exchaxute.

THE ERIE CUTS SALARIES Clerical Employes to Get Decrease of 2 to 10 Per Cent. New York, December 26 The salaries of all clerical employes of the Erie railroad who receive more than $fi() a month will be cut from 2 to 10 per cent., after January 1, according to an announcement made today. Between 1,700 and 1.S00 employes will be affected by the reduction. r.ier.sd. A Pennsylvania divine formed one of a house party in Philadelphia where the younger son, in accordance with what the clergyman observed to be his constant habit, as soon as he had seated himself nt breakfast immediately possessed himself of a large slice of bread, the quality of which he proceeded to test by a liberal mouthful. The minister, a stickler in such matters of propriety, gaed blandly at him for a moment or no; then he folded his hands and closed his eyes iu preparation for grace. "For what we arc about to receive," ha intoned, with painful emphasis, "and for what our young friend has already received. Lord, make us truly thankful." Harper's ekly. The Gretd rOr Gold.
