Mr Wulbriage the moment it becomes neces sary on account of low pressure and It will not be turned on into the feed pipes from the main again until everyone has been informed by means of the news papers or by special notifications advises tnat it tne gas tans it is the duty of all persons to see that the pipes leading to all apparatus are shut off tight ly as the return of thte pressure would give rise to great danger or asphyxiations or explosions He also advises people not to leave their houses without someone remain ing in to see that the gas is kept going or turned off tightly The danger to persons confined to tneir beds by illness in this connection ls manifest This notice wouVX JiaA tJi been Jssued' ear lier had not nearly all the large consum ers shut off? tneir gas and changed to coal at the suggestion of the gas company The present cold weather has caused an ex treme demand on the gas and the pressure has at times gone down to 23 or 24 pounds in the main pipe miles long from a point in Essex county The normal pressure is about 60 At 8 o'clock last night the temperature in this city was 13 degrees above and the weather bureau announced that another cold day is in prospect During to night the mercury may go down as low as 8 degrees above zero Under these conditions it can plainly be seen that the shutting off of the gas may occur at any moment The coal dealers of Detroit are pretty well prepared for a run on their stocks and it is customary for them to carry many thousand tons through the winter It is certain however that with 4000 fam ilies calling for coal almost simultaneously there will be some of the busiest scenes in the coal yards that have ever been witnessed in this city People will prob ably have to get their first coal in ton lots so that all may be served There will be a big demand for wagons and teams and while the income of the gas company will suffer considerably a large amount of money will be distributed among the coal dealers and the teamsters who are usually not in great demand at this season of the year Mr Walbridge says that no: arrange ments can be made to substitute artificial gas for natural gas and it therefore re mains for the citizens to act im mediately in? this matter This announcement will not be bad news lor the plumbers and the gas fitters and it will be a case of come first A large amount of money that people have spent for gas stoves and fix tures will be considered wasted and coal stove dealers will feel a big Impetus in their trade XI A Star Course Oberlin College Glee Club to morrow Light Guard armory THE SENATE SPECIIC TAX CHAIRMEN ILL PREVAIL WELL KNOWN POLITICIAN AND AU THOR HAS PASSED AWAY Senator Holmes of Detroit Will Have the ISMANTLECD and tn ruins old St Paul's church at the corner of Con gress and Shelby streets is now but a memory of its former beauty' Its roof is gone and its walls are all but razed And yet there Is an air of antiquity and ctai inanding though faded glory about it that hwqc nna in oxi re 114 1 1 to in azT zl a a a A vxxxvz ncauici ouujitir' and archeav A Old tshurch had'its inception in the formation Of the 'little congregation of Episcopalian worshipers that gathered where best they could away back in 1824 In the late fall of that year they were or ganized Into the SY Protestant Epis copal church and this body was incorporat ed the year following Rev Richard Cadle was its rector at that time and under his efforts the congregation grew in power and influencentil it was able to start the erec tion of a church This was located on Woodward avenue" and was a brick Washington: January In the long line of New 'receptions at' the White House which each year inaugurate the social at the national capitol none perhaps was more brilliant than that which to day ushered in the twentieth century' And perhaps no feature of it was so univer sally gratify ing to the distinguished throng which came to extend the greetings of the new year to the chief executive of the re public as the fact that the mistress of the White Ho use" was able to participate in the happy occasion and with the president re ceive the felicitations and well wishes of all 2 £The dav had dawned dull and gray the air was soft and balmy Toward 11 When the?

TARY AAIR (rom Lansing that John Cai ton speaker 'of the house of representatives will give out his com mittees to morrow While the fighting for the chairmanship of the more important committees has been warm "i the struggle has not been as hot as usual owing to the impression that there will not be as'much important legislation has been customary during the last few years and Carton has even had time to day to attend the Inaugural ceremonies The most important committee of the house is considered that on railroads" be cause this committee usually the Important measures pertaining to trans portation companies The committee often acts with the general taxation committee in tne consiaeration changes in taxation of chairmen the new a leaning toward the 1 plan of taxing rail inads on their gross earnings as is deme at present The chairmanship ol the house railroad committee will go to Rep Chand ler of Sault Ste Mane (handler was very close to GoV Pingree in the last regular session and in the various special sessions of the legislature of 1899 and he did a great neal of work pushing the Oren bill creat ing the present tax commission and for the various Pingree measures to change the system of tajdng railroads The chairman of the committee on eral taxation in the house Is to be Rep Goodrich of Hillsdale county who has al ways been a warm advocate of the plan of taxing railroads on the value of their prop In the senate the chairmanships of' the important committees indicate opposition to the plan of taxing railroads off values The eommlttees will be' appointed' by Lieut Gov Robinson1 who has always been regardedae a strong Pingreelte but he will name Senator Arthur Holmes of Detroit as chairman of the committee on railroads Holmes' position is that railroad taxesPought to be raised but he favors the continuance of the system of taxing them tQn their net earnings The chairmanship 'at th committee on general taxation will go to Senator Moore of Port Huron and Henatbr of Houghton will have finance and appropriation The latter was one of the most active members of the "Immortal of the last legislature end there is no question of his opposition to the tchemo of taxing on values Senator Atwood Gov Bliss right bower will be chairman of the seriate committee on" insurance The chairmanship of the senate committee on judiciary will be Sen ator Nichols of Ionia Other members of the committee will ba Murfln of Detroit and Hiram High of St Johns Naturally the best chairmanships will go to the old members in the make up of the house committees Rep McKay of Tus cola county who is a third termer will lead the list on the 'committee on insur ance which 13 considered one of the most important of the committees Rep McCall of Eatoncounty who was one of Carton's rivals for the speakership will get tho same chairmanship that he held last that on private corporations? which han files very important while Mc Callum' of the upper peninsula will get the chairmanship of the committee on ju diciary of which committee he was a member in the last session It is a peculiar fact that nobody wants the chairmanship of the house committee on liquor traffic Speaker Carton has not received a single bid for the place and will have to use his own judgment in the mat ter The only representative elected with the friendship of the liquor element was Baumann of Detroit and the latter does not appear to worry about the matter Two Wayne county men want the position of chairman of the house committee on city corporations which handles all the proposed charter amendments and other matters pertaining to Detroit and other cities of the state Wm A Hurst of De troit is making a fight to get the honor1 but he has a rival in Representative Mai tln 1 dale The latter represents a district Outside of the city but it is said that he is interested in the school board of Detroit his brother being superintendent of the Detroit schools Should another effort be made to change the system of selecting school inspectors the bill would probably go to this commit tee 1 In the senate the chairmanship of the commit tee on cities and villages will go to Senator Loomis of Grand Rapids who is a veteran In matters of legislation Lteut Gov Robinson says there will be a Detroiter on the committee and it will probably ba either Earle or Murfln The latter is to be given Uie chairmanship of the committee on universities which will give the handling of bills pertaining to his alma mater at Ann Arbor Earle will get the chairmanship of the committee on roads and bridges which will give him a chance tn push his good roads Ideas Representative Colby of Detroit? will also be given a position where he 1 can nurse his pet plan of doing away with political convention as he is to be chairman of the committee on elections Colby gave up his idea of being speak er pro tew of the house very early i lie found that Representative Handy of the npper penin sula wanted the position and withdrew as be said he did ppt care for the honor sufficiently to make a fight Thia time the senate 'committees will not be as large as they were ial session the senate committees were made up of generally three members though some of the more Import ant ones had five In the beginning of the ses sion of 18tM) it was found that Lieut Gov Rob Irson had so arranged' the Hats that the Pingree men had control of the more important commit Jeea The crowd that afterwards made up the Immortal proceeded to enlarge the commit tees to five and seven numbers and arranged them so that the obtained control This time howevar things are no peaceful thaf'the old numbers will be used Lleut Gov Robinson apparently has learned that he must do as the leaders such as Atwood want him to and it is not likely that there will be any trouble this time over the makeup of the committees The Detroit Sunday ree Treia' brings good results to mnllorder advertiser value Ha eolnmne BOERS1 5 1

electoral vote for the candidate1 of our party and the closing year of the century gives us the largest majority on rec ord the twenty senators who have represented Michigan In congress Mr Chandler alone was elected three In succession and besides him onlv Mr erry served two full terms If the legislature shall confirm your action this aft ernoon you will confer upon me an honor rare indeed In the' history of our state And while I appreciate more than words can tell the distinc tion I am more impressed with the obligation you have placed upon my shoulders the senate long service results In an in crease of responsibility Opportunities for ser vice Increase with the length of the term vlf it shall be my lot to enter upon another six years upon the 4th of next March but eight other Re

occasion similar to this the country was In the midst of the perplexities and uncer tainties' caused by the fact that the 'Democratic party had control of the executive branch of the government anl of the senate I then predicted that the return of the Republicans: power would result In a return of the prosperity that this country has the right to expect How well the prediction has been fulfilled I do not need to tell you The gravewt dangers that have threat ened this country since 1861 have been: met and overcome and as a result we are to day stronger and more powerful than ever before very strength makes the coming years of the utmost concern The two oceans no longer bound our territory While we still offer a ref uge for the oppressed of older nations we na ve also undertaken to give liberty to people much below us in the scale: of civilization Grave problems new in character await our solution Our opportunities have widened and our duties have increased I undertaking to again be
