The Horse Hallway Charter.

81 was member of the last territorial leg
iSlature," said a prominent citizen OF
Omaha, "and well remember how the Omaha
horse railway bill was rushed through at the
last moment. Six months previously the peo-
pie had voted on the state constitution,
which prohibited from the date of Its going
into effect the granting or any exclusive
franchise to any corporation. There was
great hurryng to and fro among the promo
tiers of the horse railway scheme to force
their bill through before the last territorial
legislature should expire, in order that the pro-
hbition of the new state constitution would
not affect the privileges granted. MIR.
4. ]. T. nfI,pscom hssa2. re!lifhed t@S 81 three
days previously from Poughkeepsie. Pro
ceeding to the capitol, the scene OF
his former exploits as member OF the leg
islature, he learned what was going on. The
horse railway bill was about to be placed on
its passage, when Hanscom inquired what the
measure was and who the Incorporators
were Upon being informed he flew over to
the council chamber, and succeeded in having
his name put into the bill as one OF the
incorporators, this being done through an
amendment to the original Pil!, IN this form
the bill was returned just as the doorkeeper
was putting back the hands of the clock for
the third time in order to keep the session
alive. There was tremendous howl from
the incorpOrators when they discovered
Hanscom's trick, but upon Hanscom inform
ing them that he would knock the everlasting
stuffing out of the bill unless they let him in
on the deal they finally submitted, and the bill
went through,

Another Old Landmark Gone.

"There goes another old landmark" said
Thomas Swift the other day, as he pointed to
the old brick building, No. l4O9 Douglas
street, which was being torn down to make
room for more stately structure. ut was
formerly. called the Hamilton house." con-
tinued lie, land was built in 1885, by Charles
Hamilton and Salisbury. In those days it
was considered quite palatial structure with
its brick front There were some very lively
scenes in the Hamilton house. l remember

The United States is to be favored this
year with the simultaneous presence of
the two greatest eXponents of dramatic
art on the contemporaneous British
stage-Mr Henry Irving and MIR. Wilson
Barrett. The former of these distin-
guished actors is now in this country,
and the latter is on his way, having sailed
yesterday. With regard to MIR. Irving, it
is not certain that he intends to act dur
ing his stay here. 1t has been understood
that the object of his visit is sightseeing
trip of pleasure and recreation, with
possibly so much of business as relates to
the reported project of new theater in
New York city to be placed under his
management. But he has Ellen Terry
with him, and this fact suggests proba-
bilty that these artists will be seen at
least in some of the larger cities before
they return. They wflnpdoubtedly have
most liberal inducements offered them to
do so. Mr.. Barrett comes here to
act, bringing with him carefully
selected, .se9oHpanyr zwb::oohh> :accll""dss cl"dsss
some OF the most prominent London
favorites. There can. be no question that
he will receive most cordial and gener-
GUS welcome, and it is equally well as
surcd that he will meet the highest ex-
pectations raised by the fine reputation
that has preceded him The most care
ful and iudlcious English criticism ranks
Mr.. Barrett very high, and it cannot be
doubted that he merits a conspicuous
place among the great living actors, how
ever he should be estimated from the
standard of the past.
Friday night Mr.. Barrett was given
farewell banquet, and he improved the
occasion to gracefully acknowledge the
obligation of the British stage to Ameri-
can dramatic talent, naming q number
of the actors and actresses from tn is
country whom he had seen. Referring
to the remark of the chairman, "Wilson
Barrett we lend to America in return for
the pleasure and amusement America
has lately lent to us, he SAID 81 fear it
is very poor return for the treasures
she has from time to time entrusted to
u.s." 1t is to be said that in this depart
ment of art the reciprocity has been such
as to leave little cause of complaint
from either country. The obligation
OF the American stage to that of England
is very great, and we can be well salts
fled if what we owe to the genius of
Macready and Junius Brutus Booth, the
ilustrlous talent of e. V. Brooke and
Barry Sullivan, the splendid ability of
Cooke ana the elder Wallack, with
others including Henry Irving and Ellen
Terry, is allowed to be balanced by the
obligation of England to those who have
illustrated on her stage the highest at
| tainment of dramatic art in America.
| At this time we can certainly claim equal
lty with England in this department of
| art; we can match her most gifted ex
porents of the drama with American ac-
tors equally gifted, and our stage is
richer numerically than England's. But
it must in candor be confessed that much
of what is best in our attainment we
owe to England. If Mr.. Barrett shall
contribute to our still further improve
ment he may be sure that the service will
be duly acknowledged, and he will be
welcome to all that it costs us.

VIEWS AND INTERVIEWS.
The wnterworks COMPANY.

"The change In the waterworks company"
said prominent stockholder, has been in
contemplation for some time, and its con-
summation means q great deal TO Omaha
and undoubtedly good profit to the parties
who have made the investment Some
months ago the waterwork9 company, be-
coming convinced that its plant was INSULT
cient to supply the growing needs of Omaha,
called for plans and estimates for such an
enlargement of the works as would cover the
territory and furnish an ample water supply
to all the most thckly settled portions
of the city. 1t was found tina n
expenditure of from SS00,0 600 TO $500, 600 would
be Immediately necessitated, with the oroS-
pect that, IN certain contingencies, the
amount would have to be doubled in five
years. The increased plant, which it was
deemed necessary, comprised additional
settling baSns,a second mammoth main to the
reservoir, new boilers and an auxiliary sys-
TEN to supply the section lying west of the
reservoir, and which is higher than the level
afforded by reservoir pressure. The transfer
of the waterworks stock to Boston capital.
lists assures change and permanent invest
ment OF eastern capital in this city, and the
release of a corresponding amount of home
capital tor circulation in other enterprises.
old company will be carried into effect, and
others will be ordered. The question of the
removal of the pumping station and settling
reservoirs will undoubtedly become press
ing one before many months. There are
already complaints that the city is barred
from the most direct sewer connections with
the river on account of the location of tho
pumping station. These complaints are not
likely to grow less in number. The remedy
which suggests itself and which must ulti-
mately be applied, is the removal of the
pumping station together with the settling
reservoirs. The auxiliary system proposed
will doubtless consist of an additional
reservoir on ground higher than the present
| reservoir, and from which water will be
pumped from the storage basin near Walnut
hill. At this second reservoir there will be n
second pumping station, from which by
direct pressure to the high ground-which
cannot now be supplied by the waterworks
| there will be furnished an ample supply of
clear water. The additional settling basins
| will remove the complaints, in many cases
| well grounded, of muddy and unsettled
water"

ton lives in the edge Of the foothills, FIVE
miles northeast of Centerville, on Kings
river. Numerous bones were seen pro-
truding from the bank Of q small stream
running through his ranch. and an inves-
s'gstion was made. The boaes were
about ten feet from the surface of the
ground. Among the remains we're a
number of large teeth, weighing about
seven pounds each. A number of very
large bones, which fell to pieces and
crumbled away Immediately upon being
exposed to the air, were unearthed.
Among other relics were two enormous
tusks, evidently having belonged to two
different animals. The largest one is
over four feet in length and eight inches
in diameter at the base. The other,
which is considerable smaller and shorter,
lay in such position as to suggest that
these leviathans may have come to their
death in mortal combat This locality
has not been thoroughly examined, but
the find must be of great interest to
students Of the ancient biology of this
territory.
