~ letic game now known to
the world. that is older than the game OF
hurling, which seems about to become
quite popular with our athletes.
Chronology has it that Hercules first
celebrated the Olympian games in the
year 1918 b. C. At about the same time,
according to the historians, the early
colonists of ireland founded what were
known as the Tailten games, which
were held annually in Meath and which
were, as far as they could be, national.
They were kept up until the end of the
eighth century, when Ireland suffered
from the Anglo-Norman invasion, when
they Ianguished. The Tailten games
were the forerunners of the Irish ath
letic games of to-day, and some of them
were very wrestling, weight
throwing, running, horSe-racing and the
like. In some respects the old games
were more refined than those of our own
times, for in addition to trials of skill
and strength, there were also contests
In music, poetry, chess-playing and
such innocent pastimes.
In America the game is but just be-
ginning to get fair foothold, but the
outlook for it seems to be particularly
good. In way, it has been known to
Americans for considerable time,
for the American school-boy's game oi
skinny" is in reality but form of
hurting. However, playing the game
scientifically with regular teams, as it
is played in Ireland, England and Scot
land, has been but lately attempted
here.
The company of all-around athletes
who came to the United States from
Ireland about a year ago played the
game in various cities while here and
did good deal to popularize it. John
Boyle O'Reilly and other prominent
Trish-Americans who have been seeking
to revive interest in Irish games have
also helped to give hurting lift The
New York Gaelic Society now has two
regular hurting teams; there are several
more in Philadelphia and Boston, and
there are others in other cities.
1t was in these games that hurting
FIRST became popular, and in Ireland it
has never lost its popularity. Every
Bchool-boy, and for that matter every

Tbe City Water Works Again.

At special meeting of the City Coun-
 cil held on Thursday, MT. Ashman com
 plained that Mir. Lea, who is working for
 Mir. Wood making ice, persisted in vast ing water, and in so doing would compel him, (Mr. Ashman) to shut down the works. Mr. Wood appeared before the Council and an agreement was reached between he and the City Council that he should be allowed to use the city machin- cry to pump water from the Coffman well, which Mir. Wood has had control of for some time, and water from which MT. Wood has allowed MT. Ashman to use. But the Council afterward recon sidered it's last action and gave Mir. Wood five days in which to make other arrangements. The City Council will go down 10 Waeervale 10 investigate, and after this is done it is to De hoped some satisfactory arrangement can be arrived at between the Council and Mir Wood. The whole cause of the trouble seems to be that MT. Ashnnan and MT. Lea gre enemies, and in their qusrrels the in tsrests of both the city and MT. Wood arc likely to be needlessly sacrificed. From what the EPITAPH can find out by interviewing interested parties on both sides if would appear th if if the quarrels of second parties are ignored the Coun- Gil and MT. Wood Can easily come to an agreement whereby the water works and ice factory can be kept in operation, thus supplying the city with two nesessaries at reasonable figure.

The City Council held special me ct ing Thursday afternoon to take action in relation to the city water works. After investigation 1t was learned that one of the stipulations of the lease to Messrs Wood and B srrett had been broken and the Council passed resolution that after tomorrow the lease for making ice would be cancelled, and ordered the clerk to serve certified copy upon MT Wood yesterday. The salaries of steward and janitrix were reduced to Srs per month each.

ABsInIhe for the Mustachs.

A couple Of gentlemen went TO the
Arlington buffet in Washington the other
evening and took whisky. Ashley turned
away one spoke to the bar-keeper:
"Pour few drops Of absinthe on my
fingers" said he.
The bar-keeper did 30 and the gentle
man rubbed 1t vigorously into his mus
tache.
~ am going to call on some ladies'" he
explained, "and want to take the whisky
odor away"
It was novel. The bar-keeper himself
had never seen It done before, but the
principle Is simple. Absinthe is extremely
volatile and serves as a carrier for the
heavier odor Of whisky. Now, boys, what
will you do when the girls have learned
Of the absinthe dodge?
