WHAT FIDEIJS 11 AS TO 8A Y.
A Friendly Suggestion.
It is understood that the Norwalk
Gas Light company is considering the
adoption of a new and improved method
ofproducluggas at much less expense
than by the present means; If the solo
object of making this change is to re-
duce operating expenses, Fidelis Would
I We! the friendly suggestion that con-
siderable saving might be wrought und-
erthe present system by a little closer
attention to leaks, one of which has for
several weeks made itself most empha-
tically manifest in the vicinity of West
avenue and Cedar street. from which,
judging by the size of the odor that per-
mcaws the surrounding atmosphere for
. a radius of several hundred feet, gas
must be escaping at the rate of fifty cu-
bic feet per hour, or more. The elimi-
nation of this leak would not only prove
of benefit to the company, but also
meet with most hearty approval by the
immediate neighborhood.

Better Protection Against Fire.
The recent Danbury confiagratiou, the
seriousness of which among a complica-
tion of causes was partly attributed to
the inability of the firemen to work ad-
' vantageously in the rear of the burning
‘ building. hasstarted some of the prop-
erty-owuers of East Washington street,
between the railroad bridge and Water
street, to wondering what would be the
result if a fire should gain headway in
the middle of the compact blocks on,
eltherslde of the street. An extensive
property-owner of that vicinity re-
marked some time ago that the fire
hydrants in front of the buildings would
be of little or no service for streams re-
quired in the rear in the instance of a
serious fire. For such purpose relief on
the south side could only come from the
muty hydrants in Haviland street,
while the buildings on the north side
have no rear end protection at all, and
to bring water from distant hydrants
would require long hose lines which
would diminish the number of streams
that could be supplied by numerous
short lengths. He suggests as a safe-
guardin this particular locality that a
few fire hydrants be placed in the open
areas, back of the buildings, in such
locations as will be most effective. y
Buy Cotton Now.
A glance in the dry goods stores reveals
the fact that cotton goods are selling un-
umally cheap at the present time, and
as the wholesale prices are about to ad-
vance to meet the spring rush of trade,
now is the best time to make needed
purchases in that line of goods.

ant with hope and believed that “(96

In Public Opinion layer Plum as.
plains definitely the plan he adopted to
lessen poverty in Detroit. The first thing
to do is to appoint a so called poor oom-
milsim. The municipal council author.
less the mayor to appoint the commis-
sion. The admirable feature of this oom~
milieu is that it is cm of the
but citlssns, men who serve without
pay. This removes any possibility of a
job from the enterprise. Tbs municipal
council further appropriates a suiloleut
sum from the public funds and places it
in the hands of the commlndmu In Da-
trclt last year the amount was 05,000.
This appropriation, however, saves the
expenditure of a much larger sum in
actual poor relief.
From this fund the commission buys
seeds, hires a superintendent and one or
two practical farmers to oversee the
work and give instruction. The com-
mluiou also hires the land plowed. Gttlc
nous interested in the work give the va-
cant lots rent free, although layer Plu-
grec belleves where possible a small sum
puld for rent will take away something
of the charity idea, and it is therefore to
be commended.
Those who desire lots to cultivate
give their names to the commission. lt
investigates and allots laud only to those
who are really needy. Each applicant
gets one-third to one-fourth of an acre,
sounding to his need and ability. Rows
of beans are planted around each lot to
mark 0! its boundaries, that there may
beno Voneauelan and British Guiana ,
disputes. Other vegetables than potatoes
are raised, all the ordinary ones.
The rule is to allow each laborer the
proceeds of his own work. He may sell
the vegetables or keep them, as he
chooses. Sunlcieut to say, that from the
$4,900 spent by the commission, crops
to the value of $27,792 were produced
This much, subtracting the amount ex.
pended in seed, plowing and superin-
tendence, was saved to the city. Best
of all, many of the poor, broken down
creatures were trained to habits of reg-
ular work, and became men full of hope

the beginning of a movement back from
the city to the country?
Professor Albion W. Small of Chicago
university says that corporations are as
useful as governments. Both govern-
ments and corporations may be good
and may be bad, and they are generally
mixed. The work in band, he thinks, is
not to abolish corporations, but to ”com
vert corporate power to the service of
benevolent democracy." What benevo-
lent democracy is, however, Professor
Small does not say. He does say, ”We
have to learn how to secure for the pub-
lic the advantages of monopoly admin-
istered in an antimonopolistic spirit. "
As to gas companies, street railway
organizations and other financial unions
of that sort Mr. Small puts himself on
record thus: “There is no more sacrcdo
ness about acorporation in itself than
there is about an ox yoke or a tide mill.
Charter privileges imply corresponding
corporate services. " Whenever the pub
lic sea that it can get itself better
served than is being done by the corpo-
rations that have franchises, it has a
perfect right to get itself so served,
since a franchise is merely given to a
corporation on the strength of its pledge
to serve the public in a satisfactory
manner.
any preaching of the sacredness of a
corporate franchise in itself, is more
”fiction for the gullible." f’Corpora-
tions are presumptively servants, not
masters, of the public. They should be
judged. by their performance and treat-
ed accordingly,” says Professor Albion
W. Small.
Au inmtion has been made which
threatens to leave even the bicycle in
the shade. It is a pneumatic road skate,
combining the leading features of both
the bicycle and the roller skate. What is
metiny bicycle, with two
wh having pneumatic tires, is fixed
under the sole of each skate. Those
wheels are 3% inches in diameter, lift-
ing the skater that much above the
ground. The skates are fixed firmly to
the wearer's ankles. ‘The invention
seems very simple,and might have born
thought of long ago apparently. The
skates are pronounced veritable sev-n
league boots by those who have tried
them. ”They will enable the skater to
travel 12 to 15 miles an hour with no
great exertion, and will carry him up
hill and down with ease and safety. In
this respect they are said to be superior
to the bicycle. A very great advantage
of the skate will be its cheapuess. Every-
body can aflord this kind of locomotion
with its attendant pleasure and exhila-
ration.
