' "Tb price of artificial gas will not toe raised September 1," said Manager 8borensteln of the Light, Heat and Power company, today. "Any statements to the contrary are absolutely false." "Artificial gas will not be turned into the gas mains we purchased from the Richmond Natural Gas company, because we have been ordered by the Hoard of Works, not to do so. At the time the matter first came up our attorney stated we could use the mains and I believe we can. However, putting down new mains would be cheaper than a law suit." He went on to say that as fast as possible new . mains were being laid In the streets because orders for gas were coming into the office every day. He said people were demanding Service. "Besides putting us to additional unnecssary expense," he stated, "the , city Is just inconveniencing Its citisens, and for what reason I can not see." said Shorensteln. In a statement today City Attorney A. M. Gardner said the city would take no action until the Light, Heat and Power company, violated the order of the board. Mr. Gardner said the company bad promised not to do this. Dealers In stoves In the clt say they are noticing a slight Increase In the sale of coal stove. . However, the sale of artificial stoves is also Increasing rapidly. BREEZE HEAVY And Glenn Curtiss Postponed Aeroplane Flight Over Lake., Erie. DISAPPOINTS BIG CROWD

Although not broken his nose was cut to the bone and It was necessary to take him to the Held Memorial hospital. His condition at first believed to to be serious, has Improved much today. . A T County Commissioners Today End Agreement with Ferv ret Lowe. COMPLAINTS AGAINST HIM , This afternoon the board of county commissioners revoked the contract with Washington E. Lowe, the tax ferret The commissioners took this ac tion late this afternoon. Chairman Beeson and commissioners Parlow and Llnderman expressed themselves as being opposed to the tax ferret system. . The cause for revoking the license lies chiefly with Lowe, the commis sioners say. They have had innumerable complaints made to them, they aay, where the ferret has caused an noyance without cause. It Is said that many persons were notified to visit the ferret before he had any true evi dence against them of sequestering their property or a portion or it. -. The commissioners refused to consider Lowe's petition to extend his contract until December 31. The contract expires on September 8. By the county revoking the contract with owe, the clty'a contract with him If likewise null and void. ..- A Pain hI Inference. .

BASEBALL GOSSIP
King Cole Is proving tr the Chicago Cubs this season what Edgar Wlllett and Eddie Summers did to the Detroit Tigers in 1908 a life saver. The veteran twlrlers of the Cubs have not shown the class this year that they did In 1906-07-08, when the Chance machine won the National league pennant, or In 1909, when they were runners-up to the Pittsburg Pirates. But King Cole has Jumped into the breach and by his own Individual efforts has landed the Cubs on top of the heap. To date Cole has won fifteen of eighteen games, a percentage of .833, leading all of the National . league pitchers except the veteran Deacon Phlllippl of Pittsburg, who has won nine of ten games. . The Cubs have a lead of seven games In the old league race. Where would they be without Cole's fifteen victories? The Tigers would never have won the 1908 flag but for the great work of their kid pair. Summers won 24 of 36, showing a .667 mark; while Wlllett pitched In 15 victories and 9 defeats, a .625 mark. Donovan was the only Bengal veteran who delivered good brand of pitching goods that year. Cleveland Press. Baseball Is a wonderful game, and some wonderful, men are playing it, as mark the following list of names gathered from big lea go e rosters: Dam, Daum, Mee, Cree. Nee, Ray, Kay, Mets and Gets. If we ever got this collection together on one St Louis team the fans would have to" sneeze out tho batting order. St. Louis Star. - . " . ' ' - Manager Griffith of Cincinnati has added a few gray hairs to his scalp since last season. The "Old Fox" has been almost driven Insane by the failure of his pitchers to deliver the goods. When the season started the Reds were considered pennant possibilities, but the 4 Rhlnelanders have failed to stay up in front on account of the weakness of their twlrlers. Bill Bergen was sold to Brookly n by Cincinnati about nine years ago for the large sum of $600. Veteran as he is, he could not be bought even now for anything like that sum. He is still one of the best throwing backstops in the National league. Cincinnati Enquirer. The Sanaa of Humor.' A man Las a ?as or humor or tubas not If b; has not he cannot acquire It; if be has it by birthright be cannot lose It with the passing of years. The only change as life goes on In one who bns this Inborn sense la that different thins appeal to it from those that excited amusement in youth, but in this It is like other mental faculties. ' As judgment mellows and ripens, so the power of discovering those things that excite smiles becomes more discriminating. Humor Is not a physical attribute to fade as the body loses Its youthful elasticity, but purely mental. Men who possess it in goodly measure hare been known to smile on their deathbeds over the very comedy of life. Indianapolis Star.

HAILED AS NEXT HEAOJF NATION Glaring Type Informs Roosevelt That He Is First Choice of Pueblo.

RAINING CATS AND 00GS. Various Explanations of the Origin of This Expression. Many explanations have been given of tbe origin of tbe expression "raining Cats and dogs." . One Is that It Is a perrerslon of the French "catadoupe." a waterfall "It Is raining a catadoupes, or cataracts. Another explanation Is that the male blossoms of tbe willow tree, which are used on Palm Sunday lb represent tbe branches of palm, were called "cats aud dogs" In some parts of England, where they Increase rapidly after a few warm April showers, and the belief prevailed that tbe rain brought them. Others trace the saying to northern mythology. In which the cat is said to have great Influence on tbe weather, and sailors still have a saying. "The cat has a gale of wind in ber tail," when she Is unusunlly frisky. Witches that rode upon tbe stortns were said to assume the form of .cats, and the stormy northwest wind is called "the cat's nose" In - the Harz mountains even at the present day. - Then the dog Is a symbol of wind, which in old German pictures is figured as the head of a dog or wolf from which blasts Issue. Tbe cat therefore symbolizes a downpour of rain; the dog. strong gusts of wind, which accompany It and so a rain "of cats and dogs" Is a heavy rain witi wind. A NIGERIAN LEGEND. H Tolls of tho Origin of Man's Subjoction to Women. . .. . There Is a quaint old Nigerian legend that relates the origin of man's subjection to women. " At tbe beginning of things, the legend runs, tbe world was peopled by women only. One day tbe earth god. Awbassi Nat happened by accident to kill a woman. On hearing this the rest gathered together and prayed that. If he meant to slay them, be would bring destruction on all toget ber rather tharjt kill them one be one. Awbassi was sorry fr the grief be had caused and offered as compensation to give them anything they should choose out of all his possessions. They begged him to mention w hat be bad to give and said that they .would all cry "Yes" when be named the thing they wished to have. Awbassi mentioned one by one all bis fruits, fowls and beasts, but at each they shouted TSo." At .length tbe list was nearly ended only one thing remained to offer."Will you. then, take man?" asked Awbassi at last "Yes, they roared In a great about, and. catching hold of one another, danced for joy at tbe thought of tbe gift Awbassi was sending- . : V- tnV-; ':.

A lot of you people who are up against it in the way of future fuel supply and are wondering and figuring just what kind of fuel will be most satisfactory and economical, haven't given gasoline a single thought because you've been led to believe that gasoline stoves are both unhandy and dangerous. Insurance and Process
Gasoline Stoves Are Not Unhandy The ordinary run of gasoline stoves with their troublesome starting and generating devices and their uncertain, unreliable action . have been responsible for the idea that all -gasoline burning stoves are of that kind. But . the Process stove is really a whole gas plant in itself, it automatically generates its own gas and you merely turn this on and light it just as you would gas. the only extra trouble you have is in filling the tank occasionally. You start it like gas, you turn it off like gas, you use it like gas and it does all the work that gas will do just at satisfactorily. And but very little more labor is required to start the Insurance Stove. Its burners have to be heated before starting, but there are always as many torches as there are burners setting in little wells on the side of the main tank so that the torches are always ready to light and the starting operation becomes very simple and very rapid. These Stoves Tire Kcl Dangerous Gasoline in itself is an explosive and If handled carelessly, naturally is dangerous. And any gasoline stove in the hands of a person with no respect for the laws that govern gasoline become a dangerous stove. And it is to pure carelessness that most gasoline accidents must be traced. And yet in most stoves there ; are just two sources of danger that can hardly be classed as carelessness. One is the danger of the valves being opened by children and thus . letting the gasoline run out and causing an explosion when next the fire is lighted and the' other the danger of the wind blowing the fire out. And both of these possible causes of accidents have been provided against in the In- , surance. . ' ' ..";'' .. . ' ;,E'Y" ' .''!;." ' ' -''''?' -'V-iV1- i'& '.. - " "V -,y -'XJust below the burner in the Insurance is i tube with a float valve in it. The gasoline normally stands at such a height in this tube that ' the float valve keeps any more from flowing in, but when the torch is lighted the heat turns the gasoline into vapor and the float is forced down by this vapor and gasoline is allowed to flow out into the burner. Now if by chance wind . should blow the fire out, this gasoline chamber cools, the gas condenses and the gasoline rises the float and cutting off all fur- carrying with it ther supply; there is no escape of gasoline in this case and the same thing is true if children carelessly open the valves. And thus the two' greatest causes of unavoidable danger are entirely removed in this stove. Come and let us tell you more about these. You can buy one at prices ranging from $2.50 up to $28.
