HOW IT HAPPENED.
A Lady Who Doesn'G Like Being Paraded
in Public.

A Lady Who Doesn'G Like Being Paraded
in Public.
In the report of the proceedings of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
Convention on Friday evening the name of
Mrs. Jennie Ritter of Michigan Bar ap-
peared, that lady being credited with hav-
ing made brief remarks before the Conven-
ton. Mrs. Ritter writes, concerning the
matter, that she is at a loss to know how
her name came to be used in that connec-
ton as she had never attended woman's
rights, temperance, or other kind of con-
vention in her life, and never had any am
bition to make speeches from a public
platform"
A reference to the rough notes furnished
the reporter by member of the Conven-
tion shows that it was Mrs. j. Ritter of
Gait who participated in the proceedings Of
that body, and as Mrs. Ritter of Michigan
Bar was in the city about that time he as
sumed that she was the lady referred to,
and substituted Michigan Bar for Gait
There was no desire to place the lady in
false position, and the reporter says his
life is ready at any moment to answer for
his error.

SOME ONE MUST GO.

The Mayor Succeeds in Knocking Out
One Water Collector.
Mayor Comstock read his proposed ordi-
nance providing for the removal of one
water rates collector. and requiring water
takersAo go to the Clerks office and pay
their bills. He moved its passage.
Mr.. Mclaughlin asked the Mayor if he
thought one collector could do the business.
The Mayor replied that he thought it
could be done. Water rates were, he said,
more closely collected several years ago be-
fore the second collector was appointed
Mr.. Wolf explained that water rates had
been greatly reduced since the time alluded
to, in some cases nearly one-half. Now
the system of book keeping in vogue de-
mands the presence of the Chief Clerk in
the office all the time.
The Mayor referred to the offer made by
man named Shields to collect the water
rates st figure less than the present cost.
Mr.. Wolf replied that the charter did not
permit the Board to make any such ar
rangements, Il was an old dodge-a stand
ing oHer-and the parties making such
propositions knew they could not be enter
tanned.
Chief Clerk Coffey said that, with suffi-
cient help in collecting, he thought $780,
600 could be collected each year. The re-
ceipis this year would probably exceed
those of last year from $1,000 to SIS, 600.
The city was losing money by not having
help enough. There are 5000 water takers,
and one collector could not look after
them. II Que collector should be cut off.
the city would lose several times the
amount of his salary. II he (Coffey) owned
the Water Works he would have four col
iectors and would make money bv it. Be-
side, the collectors save large sums by be-
ing about and inspecting the premises of
water takers. People come to the Office to
have water put in their houses and make
false statements. They deny keeping
horses and having bath. tubs, and if there
were no collectors abroad to see for them
selves, the Chief Clerk would not know to
the contrary.
The Mayor thought the water receipts
ought to go up to Sl30,00 year.
Mr. Coffey said that was not possible.
After some further discussion the roll
was called on the passage of the ordinance.
The Mayor voted aye when his name was
called.
Mr.. McLaughlin's name was next called,
and after q brief explanation be said he
would vote aye. although he did not think
it was right He had been placed in a
wrong light heretofore by the Mayor, on

High and Persistent Kickinp.

Yesterday afternoon one of the horses
attached to the Standard Oil Company's
wagon began kicking when near Tenth

back of the seat to get out of danger.
The animal continued kicking until its
legs became fast in the traces and it was
thrown to the ground on its back. 1t was
fully ten minutes before the harness was
untangled so as to permit the animal to
rise. There was no serious damage done.
