FORD, ALSO DISCUSSES THE GAS SUPPLY FROM HIS STANDPOINT—HE TELLS WHY, IN HIS OPINION, THERE ARE COMPLAINTS—AN INDIGNANT CITIZEN ALSO HAS HIS SAY. The average gas consumer is never quite satisfied with the service rendered by the! Washington Gas Company, as the columns of Tue Srar will show he has a good deal to say relative to the quality of the’ gas as well as the price. Recently, however, the | complaints have increased in number and | | from one standpoint, in violence of tone, show- | | ing unmistakably a good deal of strong feeling. | | The dttention of Mr. Bailey, the secretary of | | the gas company, was called this morning to | this condition of affnirs. He said that he was not aware that there are any more com Jaints than usual at this time. At the begi ning of every month when the gas bills were | | due the vohime of complaints increased and in | his opinion they bad their origin in the desire | [of people to get some reduction in the | amount of their bills, He knew of no reason for complainta at this time, as the ‘company was supplying a | good | | quality of gas. In regard to the establishment Gf three nboratorics, as proposed in the bill | introduced in Congress, he said that was a/ proposition of Mr. Ford, the United States i spector of gas in ti i He saw no neces-.| tity for more of these stations, as the quality of 3 produced at the two works of the company jas exactly the same. ATALK WITH 1 Subsequently a visit was paid to the office of | | Mr. Ford. He told Tae Stax man that from the records of his office he thought that the gas company was furnishing a superior quality of gas justnow than was the case some time ago. He knew that there had been o good deal of complaint about the gas fur- nished in the northwestern portion of the city. He bad no means of testing the gas in that locality, as the only apparatus available for this purpose was in the Post building in the central part of the town. He had rec- ommended the location of a laboratory near the company’s works in the'western part of the | city, one in the eastern section and one in | Georgetown. H ‘There was no law for the one in use in George- town, and the paseage of this bill would give the wuthority. ‘The present laboratory there | would be continued. Mr. Ford raid that the | gas company in this city had recently com- pleted putting inan improved process for making | water gas, which, he thought, had resulted in better article. ‘in hix opinion the difficulty | | which was the cause of the complituts some | time ago arose from the cond®nsation in the | | pipes stopping thera up and preventing the free | | flow of gus. He suggested to the engineer of the | company that perbaps the pro ion of the PECTOR FORD. i i | mixture of coal gas with water gas was too | C: | great and that the supply might be enriched by | | Using more of the water gas. The proportion | observed by the company was two-thirds coal | gas and one-thir ter gas. The gus made | from bituminous coal, «til Mr. Ford, is apt to be poor, as the coal is worked down pretty fine to get ail out of it possib COAL AND WATER GA ‘The gas made from a combination of the Gases liberated from water and petrolenm is a | | heavier gas than coal gas, und by mixing them | together a gas of most any candle power could | be produced. ‘The process of making this | water gus formeriy in use by the company been improved upon by the process just adopted. By the old method the degree of heat neede; to release the gases from water varied, but by the present process a continuous heat was se- cure? Mr. Ford 1s of the opinion that the | water gas is the coming gas, aud while it is aj | cheaper product than that from coal yet in its present use in combination with coal gas it is claimed for it that it makes n better, richer gas. | Mr. Ford thought that te trouble in this | city ubout the gas supply was probably due | to the stoppage in the pipes owing to the condensation of the gas. In Georgetown he thought that the gas supply would be better if | there was a greater pressure. ‘The work#| there he eaid were old, and the demand had greatly incroased in the past few years, He understood that the Georgetown company bad in contemplation the introduction of the manu- | facture of water gas to be used in connection with the coat gas. At present that company’s entire product was made from coal. AN INDIGNANT CITIZEN. While this article was being written a citizen came into THz Star office and expressed him- self with a great deal of earnestness as to the importance to the citizens of Washington of the gas question. He said that he appreciated | the efforts put forth by Tue Stan from | time to time for the improvement of the quality | of the gas, ‘The gus, he raid, onght not only | to be better, but it ought to be furnished at a lower rate. "He snid that it has been shown time and time again that gas could be made and sold nts profit for 75 cents per hundred feet. At any rate the people of this town ought to get their gas for at least one dollar. He said that the gas company was wresting from the citizens of this , District an annual tribute of not less thad $100,000. | If a warship of a foreign power should steam up the Potomac and such a sum be levied upon the city there would be, he ar. But as long as the tax was e: acted by a combination of our fellow citizens it was tolerated with a pationce that seemed to be | highly exasperating to the worthy citizen who was, ‘the question. pada ces a Record of Deaths.

THE A Controversy Between Bishop Paret and the President of the Sunday Schoo! Union. Bishop Paret of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Maryland has written a letter ad dressed to the clergy and eharch people of! Princo George's county, counseling them against co-operating with the Maryland Sunday School Union to promote the Sunday school interests of the county. ‘The bishop resents the imputation that the county is proper mis- sionary ground, and calls attention to the fact that there are not less than twenty-one Sunday schools of tke Protestant Episcopal Church lone in that county, and that every inch of the ‘ounty is portioned out by distinct lines into parishes. ‘The bishop further says that “it will not help Christian unity to establish, under the form of undenominational Sunday schools, those which in their method of worship are ntrary to thoro of thix church, as being n- liturgical, and in their methods of instruction and discipline differ from them widely. ‘This letter, it is stated, was originally ad- ssed to Mr. F. H. Smith, as president of the a ‘MR. SMITHS REPLY. A Stan reporter today called Mr. Smith's attention to the letter of the bishop published in the Baltimore American, “Ihave read the statement you mention in the American,” said Mr. . with surprise and regret. Iti afi illustration of how an hon- ext effort to promote a good cause may by mis- direction seriously injure instead of help the cause. The letter which Bishop Paret pub- lishes is a private ietter written to me on the subject of a private conversation between us reveral days previous! he occasion of the conversation was this: [ had y attended a meeting of the Presbyterian synod in Balti- more, in which a delegation of bishops ap- peared from the Episcopal convention, then | closing its session in that city, representing the | f church unit; 1y urged the practical u: inations and stated hoir addresses jon of Protestant that while such deno formal union was not at this time practicable, there shouid be co-operation in general reli jous work. As the president, for the time ng, of the Prince George's County Sunday wasan occasion for such co-operation. ‘the zation was formed about two years ago, which time in the conventions held the pal Sunday schools in the respective lo- cations were very cordial and bear co-operation. ‘The principal address at Hyatte- ville was by Rev. Dr. Wroth of Baltimor in the convention held at Bow last the ablest_ address was by the rector of the chnreh in that town, ‘The association having determined to “extend county during the present year, L conferred with Bishop Paret on that subject. The con- versation was very frank and cordial, and Mr. Paret stated that he would consider the subject carefully aud write me within a few days, which he did. he letter contains important errors in what occurred in the conversation and makes me misrepresent the Marsland Sunday School Union, all of which I informed him immediately by letter. Ido not understand why the bishop thould resent the suggestion that the county is proper ground for home missionary work. If y mistake, however, has been made on that subject it is the mistake of the bishop and not mine. I said to him that I had no personal knowledge of the condition of the Sunday school work in the county outside of the western border where Ilive; that in mixing with Prince George's politics I had had occasion to become acquainted with a cotgiderable number of saloons where political mectings were held, but not with churches or Sunday school work, but had been informed that the county stood at the bottom of the list in Maryland in ite Sunda: school efficiency, and asked him if that report was correct, to which he replied that it, was, with the exception of one other county, which was below Prince George's in ite standing. “In regard to the establishment of undenom- inational schools it was distinctly stated that our putpose and that of the Maryland Sunday School Union was.not to establish new schools, but to encourage and assist echools alrendy in existence in charge of the various Protestant denominations of which,as Iam informed, there are at least fifty in the county. “There are several other points in the bish- op’s letter to wpich I should take exception, butI have said €nough to give « general 1m- pression of the history of the matter which has come public by, as it seems to me, the un- usual course taken by Bishop Paret in ‘printing the letter referred to.
