Discussing the Leakage of Gas— ‘Thought to Be Insanc—Other Matters of Interest, Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King Street, Bell Telephone, No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 27, 1897. ‘There was quite a lengthy session of the city council last night, and for a while things waxed warm over the discussion of the enormous leakage in gas, which was discovered by the experts who recently gave the city gas works a thorough ex- amination and reported that “extravagance and waste rather than economy” was the erder at the works. When the council got down to business Chairman B. B. Smith of the committee on streets introduced a resolution provid- ing that all buildings erected in Alexandria in the future should be roofed with some non-combustible material, and that when- ever it became necessary to repair the roof of any building already standing non-com- bustible material should be uséd. This resolution would amend section 9, para- graph 2, of the city charter, and was re- ferred to the committee on general laws for a report. Permission was granted R. H. Warder to replace a shingle roof on Hs dwelling. The matter of grading and graveling Gib- bon street, from Henry to Washington streets, which was laid on the table at the last meeting, was then taken up, and Mr. Smith offered a resolution appropriating $1,000 for the purpose. While the matter was under discussion Chairman Snowden moved that the discussion of street im- provements be suspended indefinitely, and the motion was carried. A resolution to the effect that the com- mittee on light and the committee on finance jointly consider the proposition of the Potomac Electric Light Company to furnish current for the city’s electric lights was voted down. The petition of the merchants on Lee street for the Southern Railway Company to be granted permis- sion to lay a track on Lee street to Thomp- son's alley, was referred to the committee on general laws, who, with the corpora- tion attorney, are to report on the matter at the next meeting of the council. Fifty dollars was appropriated for placing a catch basin on Henry street near Duke, for the purpose of turning the water from the cellar of T. J. Fannon. The quarterly re- port of R. T. Cook, clerk of the gas works, was received. The two boards then went into joint session for the purpose of dis- cussing the leakage in gas. Chairman Uhler of the finance committee showed in figures how the city had been losing money. Mr. Uhler stated that the city fur- nished free three engine houses, the in- firmary and the city offices, and the cost of these lights was $4,000 a year. He also Stated that out of the 27,000,000 cubic feet of gas made annually at least 9,000,000 cubic feet were given away or wasted or could not be accounted for. Mr. Hinken, chairman of the committee on light, thought that the city council should put a competent man in charge of the works and make him responsible. Mr. C. N. More thought the committee on light were trying to shift the blame off their shoulders to Mr. Hantzmon, the superin- tendent. Mr.Triryer thought the commit- tee on light had absolute control over the gas works and employes, as indicated by the reinstatement of Mr. Mullen but a few days ago over Mr. Hantzmon’s head. Chairman Snowden said he did not be- leve the “free gas” amounted to $4,000 a year, and. thought council should take some action to find out where the 9,000,000 feet of gas went to annuuily:: No definite ac- tion was taken in the matter.

BRADBURY “FACTS.” You will not have to buy but one piang in your life-time if you buy a Bradbury. It is the most durable piano manufac- tured. Its hammerheads are wrapped with the BEST GER- MAN FELT—which _ packs closer every time it strikes the strings—produces a better tone every year it’s used—and in the high quality of this felt lies the secret of the Bradbury’s great durability. At every point the Bradbury shows its superiority. Its touch is not heavy—nor is it light—it is the happy medium—just enough of both to be elastic— responsive—inspiring—develops the technique—strengthens the fingers—and yet does not tire. The Bradbury is the ideal home piano and the singer’s most sympathic ally. Its tone is so delicately attuned to the hu- man voice as to blend harmon- iously with the singer’s every note. Not the harsh, ringing tone—only suitable for big con- cert halls—but mellow, low and sweet to fill the parlor with de- lightful harmony. You can buy the Bradbury at prime cost. We the manu- facturers sell direct to you the consumers—there are no deal- ers between to levy profit. We as manufacturers can sell you a piano on easier terms than any agent, because we are capi talists agd can afford to wait for our money. BRADBURY Fa Warerooms, 1225 Pa. Ave. 1216 E St. N.W. IN G.

The cast was better chosen than in the former pro- duction, and, under the skillful direction of Mr. M. W. O’Brien, rendered this tuneful opera in a manner that bordered on the professional. Miss Mae Greenwell as Josephine, whose rich, clear soprano volce has always captivated her hearers, sang with her usual vim and received numer- ous encores. Mr. William Bryant as Captain Corcoran received much well-merited applause, his solo work being especially fine, while Mr. George H. Evans as Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B., as usual, carried his audience; Ralph Rackstraw was sung by Mr. L. F. Ran- dolph of Washington in a manner most pleasing. His clear tenor voice and ex- cellent acting brought him many rounds of applause. It stands as a matter of course that Mrs. HB. Hollifield of Wash- ington, who sang the part of Little But- tercup did well, for she always does, and Alexandrians are always glad to welcome her. Mr. Frank Slaymaker as Bob Beckett and Mr. Urban 8S. Lambert as Bill Bob- Stay sang their parts very well indeed, while Miss Caroline Evans as Cousin Hehe sang well. The chorus, which was well balanced and carefully chosen, was made up of young society people, as follows: Mies Alice McB. Acton, Miss Lucy F. Brookes, Miss Agnes C. Bryant, Miss Janet Davidson, Miss Emily Entwisle, Mrs. Geo. H. Evans, Miss Jennie P. Ewing, Miss Maybelle Ewing, Miss Janet B. Fawcett, Miss A. Lottie Greenwell, Miss French, Miss Ellen W.

The use of salt as a condiment is so gen- eral and so universally believed in as neces~ sary that we rarely hear a word against its excessive use, but there are a multitude of persons who eat far too much salt—eat it on everything, on meat, fish, potatoes, melons, in butter, on tomatoes, turnips and Squash, in bread and on a host of foods too numerous to mention. To so great an ex- tent is it used that no food is relished which has not a salty taste, and this hides more or less the real taste, which is often very delicate. Now, the amount of salt re- quired in the system is comparatively small, and if the diet has been rightly compounded very little is necessary, Some g0 so far as to discard its use altogether, but whether this is wise or not we will not here consider. What are some of the evils of the excessive use of galt? They are to paralyze the nerves of taste or to pervert them go they cannot enjoy an: thing which has not a salty flavor, and in addition there is 4 direct tax on both the skin and the kidneys in removing it from the blood. Whether the skin is harmed by this tax we do not know. Possibly it is not greatly injured, yet we know that few people possess a healthy skin, but it is now pretty well settled that an excessive use of salt does overtax the kidneys in its removal, and that the great number of cases of derangement and disease of these organs is due to this use. It takes only @ little time to learn to enjoy many kinds of: food without salt, and we advise our read- ers and others to look into this matter and_ to try and diminish the use of this condi- ment as far as possible. We believe they will be better for it. ++ —__ His Skin the Price of Liberty. ‘Chicago Dispateh to the New York World. Fourteen-year-old Paul Czyet threw hot water on Anton Kwitko, scalding him so severely that an operation is imperative.
