"Nothing Like Good Old Mother"

An English paper tells a story Of o
well-known bishop who suffers from
impaired vision. He recentlv held a
levee. At length a guest approached
and said: "How do You do. my lord!
Ny mother wishes to be kindly re-
membered to you" ''Ah." said the
bishop, that is very good of her. And
how is the dear old soul? Nothing
like a good old mother! Be sure Ia
take care Of your old mother. Good
morning." The bishop did not in the
least know who his visitor was. and
said to his footman. "Who was that?'I
The servant replied, THE last gentle
man who left your lordship's reception

Legitimate Sunday Plays.

On last Sunday a little 4-ycar-ola
had difficulty in spending the day
properly. Not being allowed her
playthings she was restless and fret
full, until finally she found her little
toy iron and proceeded to amuse her
self ironing her handkerchief.
"Don't you know that it is wrong to
iron on Sunday?' reprovingly asked
the mother when she discovered the
child.
"Well," promptly rejoined the little
girl. don't you s'pose God knows this
iro0's coid?'

this country when a boy, unknown
and friendless, landed without a
cent in his pocket, it is said, when
thirteen years Of age. And his first
job was digging potatoes for farmer
which he did well and faithfully. He
came West when a young man and
worked in the mines as day laborer.
Fortune favored him, he married

THE WORK Isl STOPPED.

A Permit to Dig up tho Streets for the new
Water Mains Refused by the Board of
Public Works,
When the city water board gave the
Holly Manufacturing Company the con-
tract for the now pumping station and
the big water mains to the reservoir, it
was stipulated that wherever paved
streets were torn up to lay the mains
the brick should be replaced to the sat.
isiaction Of the city board Of public
works. The contract for certain parts
OF the works, including the laying OF
thirty.inch main, were sublet by the
Holly people to Hallock Btos,, on the
same conditions, OF course, as the orig.
inal contracts.
Mr.. Hitchcock, secretary Of the firm
Of Hallock Bros, applied to the board
OF public works for permit to dig up
North Main street so as to lay the main,
but the board refused to issue it un.
less the firm would enter in bond, in
amount large enough to cover tho cost
OF repaving, to lay new brick where the
pavement has to be torn up.
As this was condition entirely dit-
ferent from the terms Of the contract.
HRllock Bros. very naturally declined
to bind themselves to do anything OF
the kind. They notified the Holly poo
pie, who at once sent q representative
here, and he notified the water works
trustees. It was expected that meet.
ing OF the water board would BIO held
yesterday to consider the matter, but
the members did not get together.
The order OF council requiring all re-
pairing to be done with new brick was
made long after this contract was let.
It's likely, however. that the water
board will comply with the new re-
quirment, and allow the contractors al
amount in excess Of their bid sufficient
to cover tho increased cost OF new brick.
Meantime work on the mains is stopped
till some agreement is reached.
There are many expressions by PAYERS
and brlcklayers to the effect that new
brick OF different make and size from
the old ones arc inferior TO tho old
bricks for repairing.

Mr.. George o. Smith and Manager
Skiff OF "Pompeli" yesterday looked ut
the available sites in this city for the
spectacle, and 1t was discovered that
although the old fair grounds would be
very good site for the show, they were
not obtainable, on account OF q previous
lease, The two gentlemen were then
compelled to look at new locations, and
among others looked at the Schmulbach
property on the upper end OF the island,
adjoining tho electric railway line. Mr..
Schmulbach was seen by the committee
and he agreed to allow the use OF tho
grounds for "Pompeii" without cost,
except that the market gardener, who
has crop planted there, shall DO re.
Enumerated for the loss that will fall
upon him. This the committee agreed
70 do, and IL the scheme to have the
spectacle come here goes through all
right the contract for thesegrounds will

night that the site selected is better
than any OF the others that have been
named. The electric railway has O
switch right in front OF the site, and
thus will BIO in n position to bank up as
many cars as are necessary to accommo-
date the crowds that will wantto return

SkitH is sanguine OF tho success OF tho
movement and thinks there isn't much
doubt about the finance committee

success in the way OF subscriptions for

itself into three subcommittee as
