JESSIE BARTLETT DAVIS,
One of the Most Popular and Accom-
plished American Singers.

OF the many Illinois ladies who have
gained national reputation none, says
the Chicago Evening Post, is better
known or more widely respected in her
chosen field of usefulness than the
prima donna contralto, Jessie Bartlett
Davis, of Chicago. Her early life in
Illinois was of character to develop
self-reIancs and an independence of
spirit which has been of very great
service to her in the triumphs OF her
later years. Born on the prairies of
Grundy county, the daughter of
country school-master who had himself
a good, natural bass singing voice and
knack of musical knowledge, she gave
early evidence of the possession of
wonderful contralto voice. The rudi-
ments of music were instilled into her
mind by her father, but it was not I'M
til she came to Chicago to make her
own living that she enjoyed the benefits
of first-class musical tuition There are
few people in Chicago of musical turn

A CUMBERSOME AND COSTLY
SCHEME.

THE bill drawn up by tho Health
Commissioner aud which he intends Il
press for adoption by tho City Council
needs close scrutiny and some change,
before It In put into the force OF an or
dinancc. Its text will be- found In
another column. Ii consists Of two
parts; one In relation TO wells, the
other 10 vaults and cesspools.
IL will DO seen on close examination,
that under its provisions no prescn,
well, however excellent II may be / n
every particular, can be- used TO furn'
ish drinking water In any part OF this
city.
The bill proposes 10 make every per-
son whose property abuts on or has
access 10 the city water system, either
connect with that system within
thirty days, or make a well as this
this scheme requires. He must
not use any well he has,
NO. 20 without. lie must feed
III, ..lumbers or contribute TO tho city
treasury by way OF fine. No person Is
10 b. allowed TO take drink from any
well that ia not piped with iron and is
not hundred feet deep or sunk below
an impermoabie formation. Nor must
he construct even such well without
permit from tho board Of health and
without inspection by an officer.
Every vault and cesspool has to be
made OF certain dimensions, OF brick or
stone. with cement mortar and
plastered with cement Inside and made
perfectly water tight. Dry earth
closets may be permitted above ground
but not below. These vaults must also
be constructed under permits and In.
spections from city officers.
