A Genuine HOOdOO Cure

If there is any ole IN Macon who had
less faith in hoodoos and charms few
weeks ago, that person was Chief Kenan.
But at last all unbelievers are brought
around, and it appears this was the ca e
with the doughty chief, says the Macon
(Ga) Telegraph. Some days ago he was
suffering considerable with neuralgia.
After trying every remedy under the
sun, he at last came upon friend who
had a receipt, which he was not caring
particularly to reveal to the chief, but
seeing the ffieial in deep trouble he
finally consented to apply the remedy.
Securing a spool of black silk thread,
he cut off several bits Ole he tied
around the neck of the chief, another
around his waist, another down the
back connecting tho one from the neck
with that around the waist, and
fourth down his breast connecting in
the sane way the two baads. This
comp eted the outfit.
When the operation was finished, the
chief, with an in credu!ous smile asked
what camo next. "Oh, you will talk
d. fferent in few minutes replied the
friend, with shake of the head In a
minute the offic al felt strange sensa-
tion in his face, aud within five minutes
all pain had left him. To say that he
was amazed would be putting it mildly.
He has already given the cure to
dozen sufferers, and now he is at work
solving the problem of how he was
cured. As yet he has found no one

In Happy DAYS.

The harvest moon stands on the sea,
Her shining rims a-drip;
She gilds the sheaves on many lea.
The sails on many a ship;
Glitter, sweet queen, upon the spray,
And glimmer on the heather;
Right fair thy rays to show the way
Where lovers walk together.
The red wheat rustles, and the vines
Are purple to the root,
And true love, waiting patient, wins
It's blessed time of fruit;
Lamp of all lovers, lady moon,
Light these glad lips together.
Which reap alone a harvest sown
Long ere September weather.

The People of the West End OBJ.
ject to Them.
Following is the report of the Waite
Committee, presented at the last meet
ing of the West End Board of Trade:
On the 18th of March, of the presen
year, the City Council adopted an ordi
nance fixing the water rates for the yeal
commencing July l, 1889, and ending
June 80, 1890, which ordinance was ap
proved by the Mayor on March Goth, anC
which is as follows: For houses occu pieC
by one family, including bath tubs anC
water closets, $3.50; horses kept for pri
vate use, including hose for washing one
vehicle, Is cents; each additional horse
10 cents; each additional vehicle, II
cents; hose for washing windows, side
walks, gardens and grounds, for every
lot not exceeding 60 feet in frontage
so cents; not exceeding 100 feet. Il
cents; not exceeding $50 feet, 81; anc
over 100 feet, 2 cents per foot.
When meters are used, then, if the
amount used does not exceed 10000 gal
Ions per month, 10 cents per 1000 gal
Ions; over 10000 gallons, 10 cents Del
l 600 gallons.
The ordinance further provides that
any person who collects more than the
rates allowed by the ordinance shall be
liable to a fine of not more than SO fol
the first offense and not exceeding $lOC
for each subsequent ofense.
This ordinance, with the exception oi
the clause for the punishment of those
collecting rates in excess of those pre-.
scribed by it, is practically the same as
those in force since July /, 1886.
During the early part of the present
year and before the incum mbency of the
present Council an ordinance was passed
by which the rates were materially re-
duced, but was returned to the Council
by Mayor Bryson without his signature,
with the statement that it was not within
the power of the Council to reduce the
rates. The matter was referred to the
City Attorney, who reported that it was
undoubtedly the province of the Council
to establish such rates as they deem lust
and equitable, but the Council saw fit TO
adopt the one before given, which went
into effect on the let sof the present
month. We have ascertained the
amount of the monthly bills in quite
of cases and have found but two
in which the legal rate and that actually
charged are the same. In the other
cases we have found that the amount of
excess ranges from per cent. to l22 per
cent, with an average excess of about 40
per cent. in the cases investigated. The
mos. glaring case of excessive rates is
one in which the monthly charge OF So is
made, whereas under the ordinance the
rate to which the company is entitled ia
out 1925. When we consider that under
meter rates the legal charge would en-
title him to 1880 gallons per week, an
amount manifestly far in excess of that
actually used, we see that the amount
or which he is paying-45,0 900 gallons
'er months clearly beyond reason and
proves conclusively that the purchase of
! water meter at the current rate of FROM
10 to $18 would pay large amount On
he sum invested.
Meter rates being collected at the end
II the month, none have as yet bebn
'aid under the present ordinance; but.

AN UNPLEASANT HONEYMOON.
HOW Fate Separated the IL BRIDEGROOM
From the Happy Bride.

A day or two ago, happy couple left
some point on the Sunset route, probably
New Orleans, in Pullman coach, with
ticket for the Pacific Coast. They at.
tracted the attention usually attracted by
such interesting people as newly mar
ried pair, and were the cynosures of all
eyes on the journey. The ticket was for
Mr.. and Mrs. W. ]. Walsh. All went
merry as marriage bell or bridal trip
until Yuma was reached, when an officer
stepped into the car, passed rapidly along
until he came to the seat occupied by
the two turtle doves, when he stopped,
took sharp look at the man, laid his
hand on his shoulder and whispered the
terrible words, "You are my prisoner. /"
Walsh had limited ticket, and if he
stopped off it became void. But there
was not even that much of dilemma.
So he had to go with the officer,
and into Jail, too. The woman
went with him; but after s)me
reflection, che has concluded to continue
her Journey alone, and leave her newly
acquired liege lord to get out of the
meshes of the law as best he NAV. It
is not known here what charge is made
against Walsh, but the brides abandon.
ing him makes it look as if serious.

He COMPLAINS.

Peter Muller is one of the oldest saloon.
keepers in the city. He complains that
his name appeared in the papers yester-
day in the list of those who had not paid
their license. Mr.. Muller states that the
collector came to his saloon, and he of
tered him his license, mostly in twenty
dollar pieces. To one of these the coll
lector took exception, on the ground tn at
it was not good. Muller maintained that
it was, saying, 'If the bank refuses it, you
know where you got it. "This did not
satisfy the official, who went off without
his money and returned Muller's name
among the delinquent. Muller took the
$40 in question to the Farmers' and Mer-
chants Bank, whence he had drawn it,
and they told him it was as good as any
coin in the bank. Mr.. Muller naturally
feels aggrieved under the circumstances.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-07-19

force and that which expired June 30th
are the same, it may not be uninterest-
ing to us to look at one of these cases.
In the face of the fact that all ordinances
fixing water rates, from and including
that which presumably went into effect
July l, 1856, the water company has
been charging rate of so cents for 900
gallons.
In one building, in which there are
three stores in use and twenty-five peo-
pie living, all of whom do their own
washing, and where there are two bath
tubs in use, during the month of June,
according to the company's own
figures, and we have no valid
reason TO suppose they would voluntarily
decrease them, there was used 4,245 gall
Ions, for which 81 Is was charged,
instead OF 65 cents, the legal rate. This,
compared with the monthly bill OF 81 80
on the adjoining property, where but
three people reside, and who use water
for but one horse and the washing of but
one vehicle, and who do no washing at
home, shows conclusively that the sup
posed consumption of II 1000 gallons in
the family is absurd. l have not been
able to find any cases with which to
compare the amounts paid before and
after the use of meter, but am confident
that such cases would show wide diff
ference.
The present ordinance having been in
force but short time, no cases have been
brought to test it. A complaint has
been made to the City Council and
referred to the City Attorney, but
the case was one in which the company
was undoubtedly correct, and that offi-
Ger had SO reported to Council.
The investigations made clearly dem
onstrate that if only the legal rates were
charged, the amounts paid by those not
having meters are far in excess Of pay
ment for the water consumed, and which
excess is largely increased by the arbi-
trary rates of the Water Company.
