There Is no argument advanced favoring
any new Invention or discotcry which M >
quickly reaches ( hu heart of thn public ,
uor which makes such n lasting ImpriH-
Ion , niton demon * ! rated , as that of econ
omy.
In consequence , It Is HIP pleasure nnd
dim of ( lit ; Nebraska Individual Can Co. ,
to giro a few points in vindication of their
assertion , that they ran furnish the best
nnd most economic light nllh \\\\\c\\ \ \ \ \ \ the
public has as yet heroine. ar < | iiiilnted.
Perhaps no better argument could Im
used but we do nut stop here. Aside from
cconony Independent dan posses other
advantages which go fur tovuinl making
It the popular Illiimlnunt.
In the first place Ils iinine hears a point
to be considered. Individual or Individu
ality cui'h consumer In having a separate
nnd entirely distinct plant , consisting of
rcsenolr and meter , thus avoids the ne
cessity of any connection whatever with
street mains or pipes , as uell as a saving
of expense.
nCoal gas , ns those using it well know , Is
more or less seriously affected by cold
weather , thus rendering an unreliable
anil unsatisfactory Illiiinlnant during thn
winter months , when It Is most needed ,
Kay nothing about the annoyance.
Here we have a point which please note.
As a lest of the ability of Individual ( iasto
withstand the cold , we had the reservoirs
ofhoth our olllce and warehouse placed on
the io > f In bold relief , where for the past
! ! 0 days they have been subjected to the se
verest of tests , our light showing no signs
of variation or weakness.
It Is a common thing to set * a once clear
nnd neat celling blackened Immediately
over t'ie ' gas fixture , or perhaps caused by
n smoking dunging lamp. It is a little
thing to he SUIT , hut how annoying to a
careful housekeeper. Individual ( ins gives
n pure , clean , soft : , nnd as white a light as
could be desired , and is perfectly odorless.
The feeling against the regulation meter -
tor has led us to desire n simple , yet accurate -
rate indicator , which any child can thor
oughly understand , thus reducing th.it
prejudice which has taken such rout. We
read daily of dentils caused by suffocation
from escaping gas , or the careless use of
kerosene , and it comes home to ns. Why
no ! avoid such horrors ! > . matter what
amount of cure I * exercised , accidents will
occur , and it is to lessen or remove all
chances of an ) thing of the kind that we
subject to your inspection , our gas.
The positive shut elf on all gas hunters
Is necessary to extinguish the light prop
erly , hut let the light he extinguished by
other menus , blowing or going out on ac
count of a temporary insnlllelent supply ,
nnd what Is the consequence. suffocation ,
or perchance explosion and ( lie question
naturally arises , how is It with Individual
( ins.
ins.Hern
Hern we linvo our main argument :
We look after the reservoir and keep It
always supplied , thus relieving the con-
siiiierofunynniouiiceorcure. : From there
the gas flows to each and every burner , a
mutch is applied , the heat generates the
gas which rises and ignites , therefore the
minute that heat N taken away , either by
accident or otherwise , the gas ceases to
generate , hence tlio igh the hunter he
turned on full head , no gas escapes.
No more practical Illustration can he
given than to call at our office , where we
will he pleased to demonstrate and explain
the workings of our light and show the
comments of those who are now using it.

\Valolo ] ) Wiirrcn wan iniportoil to
his country by the church where Dr.
.Stephen Tying preached at Forty-see-
) iid street and Madison avunvie. a great
ilcnl of Interest was excited by the projj-
ition to contest the law forbidding
he importation of laborers to this coun-
ry under contract. That matter was
eventually settled , but it called such nt-
enlion to Dr. Warren as no other
event could , unless it be the proposition
that this clergyman has now made to
ils church : Dr. Warren has proposed
hat the young ladies in his church shall
nuke an agreement not to visit or re
ceive visits on Sundays. When this
natter was put to a vote before tin asso
ciation of the young peoploof his parish ,
they agreed unanimously to put it into
force. This undoubtedly , however , was
due to the magnetic inlluoncc of Dr.
Warren when ho made the suggestion.
Ho is about lifty-seven years old with a
moderate supply of silver side-whiskers
and a pleasant smile and voice. Ho is
.in energetic worker and thorough-going
evangelist. When the young people
came to think the matter over , the
obor second thought began to have its
effect , and it is < ) uito doubtful whether
Mr. Warren will lind it an easy matter
to break in thus upon a well-established
American custom. One of the young
men in his parish in speaking of it said
to the writer :
"When the proposition was lirst laid
before us , we were enthusiastic about it ,
because wo felt like taking hold of Dr.
Warren and helping him ttmke his work
hero grandly successful , but as to this
project , wo cannot help looking at it
now as something of an injustice , and
unnecessary at that. To us who work
all the week with no time for social un-
ment , Sunday comes as a genuine day of
rest , and apart from the religious feat
ures of the day , it gives-us opportunity
for innocent onloyincnt that could not
possibly be had at any other time dur
ing the week. Sunday is recognized as
the one day of all when a young man is
privolegod to call upon his best girl ,
mid inasmuch as thefe is nothing wicro-
ligious about that. I cannot see wh.y I
should l > e compelled to abandoned it.
It in not like an ordinary cull between
neighbors or friends or relatives
who have known each * other
and been established in their
relations with each other for a great
many years. It is the cultivation of
new relations which are apt to be and
generally prove to be very sacred ami
dear to all parties concerned. It is a
matter of good religion that a man
should have a good family , and the pro-
hiljition of doing anything upon the
Sabbath towards
MCCUUIN'O A HIII.PMATK
to establishing a gpod family is some
thing that ii church ought not to de
mand. I very much doubt , therefore ,
that Mr. Warren's project will prove
successful , and I certainly hope that
preachers elsewhere , especially in the
country districts , will not be led to
imitate his e.xamnlo. "
Secretary Whitney is a bigger man in
Washington than ho is in Now York.
This is perhaps natural in the head of
the United States navy. But ho would
bo larger in New York if ho didn't be
long hero , and was as a stranger forced
to go to a hotel while in town. As it is ,
he keeps up an elaborate establishment ,
and has only to drive home and disap
pear from view until ready to return to
liis train. His wife docs nearly till her
shopping hero , except in trivial matters -
tors , and frequently on these expeditions
the secretary is her devoted attendant.
They are not encountered on the prome
nades , for they drive everywhere. Those
who know Mr. Whitney only as t'ie '
cabinet ollicer should see him while on
those little excursions. What a meta
morphosis ! He stepped on board the
Washington express the person ideation
of an oneri/otiu business man ; he steps
into a fashionable Fifth avenue milli
ner's u beauish attendant to a liuly.
Away with armored cruisers and seacoast
defences. Bonnets are tlio order of the
nay. And to toll the truth , ho applies
himself now as assiduously to the study
of the latter as ho did a few hours be
fore to the farmer. Ho will pick iiji a
hat , inspect it from all side ; , criticize
this shape and that curve , and after his
wife has adjusted the wonder on hoi
head will repeat the operatiou of view
ing it from all tides. He is very proud
of his bettor half , and strange to say ,
she defers unqucstioningly to his taste
in hats and several other matters of per
sonal adornment. He docs not insist
upon being actually present when she is
measured for u gown , but this is doubt
less u concession to the dressmaker's
feelings. More than ono milliner in
Now York wishes in her soul that ho
would exorcise this consideration in
other directions , and they are unani
mous in voting him a nuisance. But this
doesn't annoy the secretary of the navy
and results in his wife dressing to suil
her husband. As long as this is so the
iitivv is secure.
The amount of privacy whicl
J1US. LANdTUY
manages to secure during a upoV
of rest tit her city homo , and at the
same lime keep herself constantly advertised
vertisod to the public eye , is in itself ai
indisputable proof of the woman's clever
ness. Her latest achievement is to
bring down the wrath of certain sollisl
neighbors who complain because hoi
new English six foot fence , built to defy
the curious , rests upon the stoop line
instead upon the house line , her dwell
ing standing about thirty feet back
Bv the way , it hit's been suggested , am
with apparent cause , that the lily's sue
n < -sns an unhappy wife is duo not to at
acquired but to an inherited uccoin
plishment. A New York lady , while in
London recently , came in contact will
ono who had known Miv. Lnngtry"
well on the island of Joivoy. Say
this friend : i'l cannot help thinking
when I road of her domestic troubles , o
certain infelicities in her girlhood'
home. Her father , as you know , was a
clergyman , and her bounty was ho
mother's. This fatal beauty , however
attracted another than her clerica
husband to the mother's t-ido and tin
result was unhappino.-s in the homo. '
Then who shall say that the linger o
fate htiH not indicated Mrs. Langtry'
rough , road.
At a Broudwav hotel this week were
registered "Mr. and Mrs. .1. F. Baker
St. Paul. " They arc on flieir weddin ;
tour. The bride , a charming and hand
sonic girl of about eighteen , was las
spring a puiill at a school in Fifth avenue
nuo , and a favorite among her compan
ions. She was then Bessie KiUeon , oni
of the four daughters of Cornmudon
Kltlson , the .famous , turfman' "of thfc
liwthwest. At the summer vacation
she returned hoine'iind next'.appeared
hero with the blushing honors of u
brand new name upon her. Now her
old schoolmates smile , nnd say :
"IIKS-MI : KITTjON'MAUHIKIll
Why the idea-she's only a girl ! ' '
The commodore has parted with
three of his children by mar
riage within a few months. Last
fall the eldcht daughter wedded
Mr. Louis Baker , ti brother of the pres
ent bridegroom , and went olT to Kuropo
or the honevmoon. She had nlto been
i .school girl In New York. Then his
son , L. C. KUUon. took unto himself a
louutiful bride. The KitUon family in
one way and another , have become
iretty well known in the metropolis ,
ind Mrs. Kittson resided at n hotel for
' onio time while her girls were in the
muds of the teachers. About thesuino.
.line , it will bo remembered , young
ICittson was enjoying a rapid time about
town , and became involved with an ad
venturess old enough to be his mother.
His escapade resulted "in a marriage
ceremony , while ho was irresponsibly
under th'e inlluence of stimulants , and
subsequently in a suit for a divorce and
iliinony brought by the wointfn. The
testimony lilled columns of the daily
press , but the jury threw her case out
jf court by declaring tlio marriage
fraudulent. The youth got out of a big
blackmailing plot at the cost of much
scandal. When lie appeared here last
fall with his young wife , they looked
like a pair of young lovers just escaped
from the parental eye.
Who sa.vs that thu rich do not have to
clean the snow olT their own sidewalks ?
A young lady of Senator Kvarts' hout-e-
liousohold had a hard job of it yester
day. Of course , she didn't handle a
shovel. But lot us see. The snow of
Lho day before lay frozen on the walk.
Two ragged-looking men rang the
front-door bell about 8 o-'eloek in 'the
morning. One carried a battered iron
shovel and the other bad none. The
young lady responded to the summons
from tlio bell , but appeared averse to
employing these callers. Shu stopped
out from tlio storm doors and saw that
the negro mnn-of-nll-work was busy
shoveling the snow from the roof. Tlio
two men lingered after she had gone in
and then onu of them went away. The
one who remained rang the door boll
again ten minutes later and this time he
was more successful , as was shown by his
immediately starting in to scrape the
snow from in front of the door. Ho hud
worked about three minutes when ho
throw down his shovel and ran off in the
direction of Fifteenth street. Ho re
turned a few minutes later with his
former companion. The latter had no
shovel , but rang the bell leading to the
kitchen and" secured ono from the
cook.
It was it long stretch of sidewalk
around the senator's bouse , and thu
shovels were both of them poorly
adapted for the work. The snow was
fro/.en hard , and the wind was sharp
and biting. The men had neither
gloves nor mittens , and stopped every
few minutes and slapped their hands
vigorously to get n little warmth into
them. All the time they wore tit work ,
the young lady stood at the window
watching them , and seeing that they
did ifproporly. Several times she ap
peared at the door , and called to them
to go back and attend to something that
they bad shirked.
When they were till finished and
came for their money , shu went
out with them and looked into the
street. Sure enough her suspicions
wore verified. They had not cleaned
out the snow from tlio gutter so as to
allow a passage for the water when the
snow should melt. It took at least a
minute and a half of argument before
the men agreed to attend to this part of
the work. Kvon when they bud fin
ished it she did not appear to be satis-
lied. ,
On eaeli of the otner uii-anions when
snow lay on the sidewalk , shu had somu
'
similar'trouolo. Once her man of all
work started to remove the snow and
left it half finished. She walked up and
down tile-avenue and around into Fif
teenth street in search of him. Another
servant was busy removing the snow
from the bouse north of the senator's
where one of the Fish family resides.
The young lady was apparently near
sighted , as she at llrut mistook this mail
for her own servant. Shu
walked up quite close to him and bend
ing dowTi ,
I'KKUUI ) INTO HIS KACi : .
This she repeated several times
before shu was convinced that hu
had been mistaken. When 'the
man came back , it was evident
from the motions of his hands
and tlio shrugs of his shoulders
that ho was attempting to explain his
absence , but from the way the young
lady shook her head , it was also evident
that his explanation was not accepted
as a good one.
The cheeky woman whom I have now
in mind is self-possessed , smiling and
well-dressed. She Is the terror of store
keepers. Recently n specimen of this
class had a piece of line needlework
that her own sewing machine could not
do. She knew of onu in thu market
that could , and so she wont to the otllee ,
talked prices and quality , asked permis
sion to try it on the spot , took a roll
from her shopping-bag , and stitched an
hour till the job was done , expressed
entire satisfaction with the machine
and prico. gave her name , street and
number , with an order for one of.tho
best , and goes her way. The agent
never saw her again , and found no ma
chine was wanted ut thu street and
number designated.
She would bo horrified at .the hint of
shoplifting. Her little game is differ
ent.
IT is siior-iioiiuowixa.
This utiino woman was invited
to an out-of-town reception. She
wanted ti more elegant , outside
garment than her own for the
'
occasion , and she got'it. Going to one
of the largest establishments , she tried
on and tried on wraps , trying at the
same time thu patience of the sales
woman as she always came back to onu ,
the most elegant of thu lot , and seemed
ju t on the point of choosing it. Finally
sue begged purmisslon to take it homo
to show bur hiinbund , feeling certain ho
would approve. The garment was
sent home , was worn at tlio reception ,
and roturnc'd with u polite note and
regrets that it was not found wholly
satisfactory.
But the saleswomen got their little
revenges. They remember faces and
bestow their own titles. "Hero comes
a tough , " goes down the line of clerks
when one of this class appears , no mat
ter how richly she is dressed. "I'm
ready for you" is in the eye of the Miles-
woman she pauses boforo. It is n coun
ter of ribbon sashes , glowing like a rain
bow in soft colors. The "tough" look's
at a wore of them ; the green ono ought
to bo blue , the pink heliotrope , and so
on , and finally shu declares they tire
cheap things. ' 'You know I never buy
cheap goods. " Tlio girl apologizes ,
runs nor hand under the pile , nnd draws
out several of the same quality and
price , names a figure double that , how
ever , and the customer buys threol
"It is my bithiness to sell goods , " she
explains to a friend , "I have to adapt
mytelf to my customer. Tlio other day
n tough was looking at plush at * 1.60.
She wanted something better after shu
had worried thu life out of inc. I took
from thu shelves u piece of thu game

The Burma Baptist missionary con

Ml the work is encouraging. The con
vention was preceded by a three-days'
conference- prayer. On the last
jvoiiTng of the conference a mass meet

nission compound , near where Dr. .Fud-
son's chapel used to stand. Addresses
were given in seven languages Kng-

THE COUNTS OFVA.NJOU.
Written fur tlic Sumliiy lift.
One of the most celebrated families
of medieval Europe was that of the
rulers of Anjou , a province in north
western France. The history of this
family and the inllnence distinguished
mouthers of it exerted on the progress
of western Kuropo during a period of
of moro than four hundred years , reads
like a romance. Their connection with
the ruling family of England , by inter
marriage , gives to the American stu
dent an interest in the origin and story
of the family , second only to that which
attaches directly to the history of the
royal family of England , and yet but
few American readers are familiar with
the history of the house of Anjou , or
know anything about thoi > ' achieve
ments.
Tortulf In the heart of Breton , about
the year S.)0 , lived one Tortulf , who was
known as the Forester , a half-brigand ,
half-hunter , as the days went , living in
free outlawry in the woods about
Rennes. Tortulf had learned in his
rough forest school how to strike the
foe , to sleep on the bare ground , to en
dure hunger and toil , the summer's
heat and winter's frost ; how to fear
nothing save ill-fame ! Following King
Charles the Bald in his struggles with
the Danes , his abilities as a soldier in
this unrelenting warfare won for him
from the king broad lands along the
Loire , and his son.
I. Inge-Igor Full : the Red , who had ,
under his father's tutelage , swept these
predatory northmon from Tout-nine and
the land to the west , which in this re
lentless warfare they had burned and
wasted into a vast solitude , became the
first count of Anjou. It was from the
dukes of France ( caputs ) , now drawing
near the throne , in the year 888 , that
ho received from them "in guerdon"
the western portion of Anjou , which
lay across the Mayonnc , and first consti
tuted the Aiigovinc kingdom.
II. Fulk the Good succeeded his
father Fulk the Red. Ho waged no
wars ; and the story of his reign was
like a quiet idyl of peace. Louis d'
Outromer , king of Franco , entering
a church whuro Fulk the Good was wor
shipping , remarked of him : "Ho sings
like a priest. " Fulk , ready with his re
ply , said : "Know , my lord , that a king
unlearned is a crowned nssl"
Fulk the Good was a busy ruler , gov
erning , enforcing peueo , and carrying
justice to every corner of his wasted
kingdom. To him alone of all his race
men gave the title of "Tho Good I"
III. Fulk , Geoffrey Groygown , win of
Fulk the Good , was likelusgrandfather ,
a bold dashing soldier , lint with all his
skill as a soldier and his great personal
valor , he was unable to maintain his
territory against the powerful house of
Blois and Champaigno , He was suc
ceeded by his son
IV. Fulk Norra Fulk the Black , a
cold , cruel , heartless , although a very
able ruler. Fulk Norra succeeded to
the throne , A.I ) . ! )87 ) and died in 1010 ,
after a long reign of fifty-three years.
Ho was the greatest of the Angevine
kings , and tlio first in whom can bu
traced that marked type of character so
well preserved in his family for the suc
ceeding " 00 years.
Familiar as was the ago with ra
pine and blood , it recoiled from the cool
cynicism of his crimes , and believed the
wrath of heaven to hnvo been revealed
against the union of the worst forms of
evil in Fuii ; tlio Black , lint neither
the wrath of heaven nor the curses of
men broke ; with a single mishap the
fifty odd years of his success.
At his accession in the year 987Anjou
was the least important of the greater
provinces of Franco. At his death in
1010 it stood , if not in extent of torri-
terry , at least in real power , first among
them .ill. Cool-headed , clear-sighted ,
quick to resolve , quicker to strike , Fulk
Norm's career was a long series of vic
tories over all his rivals. Ho WIIH
a consummate general , personally very
bravo , and in battle amid the medley of
contending men and horses , ho swept
down almost singly on the foe as a
storm wind "so rang the pcan of tlio
Angevinps" swoops down on the thick
corn rows , and the Hold was won !
To these powers and qualities as a war
rior ho added the power of political
organization and far-reaching political
combinations-- ! ! faculty of statesmanship
which became the heritage of his race
and lifted thorn as high above thu intel
lectual level of the rulers of their time
as their shameless wickedness degraded
them below the level of man !
