TIL e PARK THEATRE.
The Season Opened With a Rafting
Farce Comedy


The summer season was opened
at Pa, gifts Park theatre last night
by "a Lively Chase company in
one Of the neatest, oleanest, most
enjoyable farce comedy perform
ances ever seen in Waco.
"a Lively Chase is not a play
that is, not much of a play. 1t is
dramatic skeleton, so to spf ak upon
which the members of first class
musical comedy company hang their
individual and collective specialties,
until it stands ont vivified and
rotund whole.
In point of original conception
and artistic rendition the German
comedy work of James Bentley,
and the limitations of the four Bent
ley brothers stand out complete
and pleasing. They initiate steam
calliope, church organ and the
ringing of a steam boat bell in Il
surprisingly natural manner aud
their little sketch "Tom JAYS from
Jaysville," was an excellent conceit
excel jently carried out.
Miss Helen Rainsley, who has
been in Waco with some of the
lea1ing farce comedy companies
that have appeared here, did some
delightful vocal work. She is pos
sessed of a mezzo soprano voice Of
great range, pure in tone and ex
quislte in quality, and she displays
a method in singing that belongs to
opera rather than farce comedy. To
an encore Of 80, Don Fatale, u
she responded with one stanza of
annie Laurie" Of which the au-
dience hope to hear the remaining
star z,s before the week is out. She
and Justine Bentley also rendered
some DUETS in fine Style.
Tue dancing Of Bijou Evans, a
wee tot, who did black face turn
was an especially clever bit of work.
Others of the company are deserv-
ing Of special mention. but space
| forhids.
The company will be at the park
all the week. If you like good
singing, from classic to comic, in
terspersed with excellent comedy
work, 90 out and see it.

ANOTHER FIRE.
Building Belonging to VIM. Breu-
stedt and Occupied by Brown
& Moore Burned.

At 1890 o'clock last night the
contents of the feed store of Brown
Il Moore on Austin avenue, near
EIGHTH street, were DESTROYED by
fire, and the building badly dam
aged. One of the trout windows
of the feed store had been broken,
and some planks hai been nailed
across the day before, to remain
until new glass could be put in
The fire originated in some bales of
hay near the open window, and the
theory advanced is, that probably
some one had thrown a smoking
cigarette stump through the win
dow by carelessness, or probably
purposely.
Messrs. Brown q Moore had
$500 insurance, placed by Mackey
x Willig.
MIR. Breustedt had $4,000 in the
North British and American, placed
by the Dockery Il Patton agency.
Mr., Parker had $1,000 insurance
placed by ID ockery IL Patton. His
store was damaged to the extent OF
about $40.
The tiremen did some he work
and considering the fact that the
alarm was not turned on until the
fire had made great Roadway, it i;
wonder the whole block was moi
burned.
Mr.. Breustedt sent polite note
to Chief Prescott, of the fire de
artment, enclosing check 70,
twenty five dollars for the effective
service rendered by the tiremsn.
The building belonged to Mr..
VIM. Breustedt.

A NOTE OF WARMING

The semi-panic on the New York Stock
Exchange on Monday is a distinct note
of warning. 1t is idle to talk about com
binations between the Vanderbilts, the
Morgans and the Drexels to curb Reading
in movements towards the East. The
Vanderbilts are attending TO their own
business, and leaving Reading TO attend
TO it's business. The Morgans and the
Drexels are doing the same. Reading
has not been strong for long time. The
general uneasiness which silver legislation
and consequent gold shipments have pro-
duced, made lenders Of money chary
about lending on Reading stock. There
is a prodigious amount Of this deposited
as collateral for loans. Lenders called
for more security; this forced Reading
stocks to be offered in the market; its
own weakness and general want OF con-
fidence kept off buyers; a panic III it
ensued, and there you have the whole
case. This is but general panic in cpl
tome, and II has been caused distinctly
by the silver law that frightens all Eu-
rope into selling our securities and car
rying away our gold. and it is liable to
cause a general panic at any moment.
Is 1t possible that the Congress of the
United States will refuse attention to
this note of alarm?

the earnest wish OF the conference that
the plan for the enlarged use Of silver
as money acceptable 10 the nations and
adequate TO the monetary situation may
result from its deliberations. No recon-

THE CrTY's WATER SUPPLY.

The Council can defer no longer deal
Ing effectively with the matter Of water
for the city. Many persons in the city
are unable to get the water that they
need, and in case OF a serious fire, it
IS possible the fire department might
suffer real embarrassment. The Council
must provide for more water or 1t must
provide for economizing what we have.
A meter system that required each water
taker TO pay for what he used will make
our present supply abundant for city
twice RichmonG's size and will save
money to the consumers also. The En-
cheering News for February 16. 1898.
contains q paper at page l6l on "Reduc-
ton OF Water Consumption by Water
Meters which cites some very interest
ing and instructive facts. We quote a
passage:
Some very important and interesting
figures having a direct bearing on the
proper management of many water works
have just been made public from Detroit.
An average daily consumption of 204
gallons of water per capita in 1888 so
that an enlargement of the system SEEM
ed imperative. IL was found that the
necessary improvements would cost
$500, 900. and In view of the already ex-
fremely high consumption, the water COM
mssioners very wisely resolved TO try
the effect OF meters before enlarging the
works, an eXpedient far too rare in this
country. The success Of this measure is
shown by the fact that the total con-
sumption Of water in Detroit in 1892 was
nearly two billion gallons less than in
1883. Notwithstanding an estimated in
crease of population of $4,000. while the
total operating expenses were s2,25l less
in 1892 than in 1885, The number of
meters in use increased from 4S in 1888
TO 1858 in 1892 the percentage Of water
metered from OCT to 13 per cent. of the
total pumpage. while the average daily
consumption fell from 204 to 40 gallons
per capita the intermediate steps having
been 1T2 gallons in 1889, 1876 in 1850 and
IA in 1891. At the close Of 1892 practically
all the manufacturing and business in
terests OF the city were supplied through
meters"
The Detroit water commissioners esti-
mate that the city has saved, during the
four years the meter system has been in
operation s235, 40S This result is arrived
at by adding to the interest on 100000
(what additional water works would have
cost the expense OF pumping the addi-
tional water that would have been de-
manded II there had been no meters.
The experience Of Detroit is the expert
ence of every city that has adopted the
meter system. and these cities embrace
the enormous city of London and the
city Of Atlanta, not nearly so large as
Richmond. Wherever meters have been
applied. vast saving to the cities have
followed with greater contentment and
satisfaction to the water consumers.
But whether meters are adopted or
whether they are not. there is an enter
gency now upon the Council that must
be met Richmonds water supply is in
sufficient aud II must be increased. either
by economizing the use OF what we have
or by creating a greater supply

THE STREET RAILWAY CONsOLIDA-

We congratulate the people Of Rich

Company. This combination is in the
course OF the principle Of nature which
invariably follows the line Of the least

sistance for the people of Manchester is
TO be able to travel back and forth freely
paying only one fare instead Of two. ard

The combination Of distinct railways so
as to give a single management the con-
troll of disjointed lines has been SO fire.
Quently accomplished TO the benefit Of the
travelling public, as well as to the inves-
tor. that il is astonishing there should be
a voice raised against so reasonable and
natural a process.
Where any concerns, whether railways
or for manufacturing. by a combination
which is primarily intended for their own
benefit. make more money than is rea-
sonable and proper return for the outlay

check is found in the case of manufac;ur-
ing concerns by the institution of rivals;
and in transportation concerns. which are
operated under franchises from The peo-
pie. by the exercise by the people Of their
eminent domain. of which they need never
deprive themselves. II is supreme folly to
oppose combinations whose ultimate ef-
feet can only be for the benefit OF the peo-
pie in increasing facilities and finally re-
ducing cost.
The Richmond City Railway, under its
present management. was regarded with
suspicion when first II came here, and its
movements in the direction Of absorption
of other lines passed for the most part
uncriticised because the service Of the
old management was so inferior, as COM
pared with the new management (Which
was intrinsically very good that no one
was disposed TO raise the usual protes:
