The Waterworks Question.

Translated from Freie Presse Fuer
Texas, JAN, 9th.
To Judge from pnblic and pri-
vate expressions that have come
to our notice, it may be seen that
the treatment of the Waterworks
company by the city administra-
ton, which has even now the APP
pearance of a persecution, finds
but little favor by the general pub
lie.
An involuntary feeling prevails
that an act of injustice is to be
committed, since all offers and
propositions of the company were
rejected in order toIforce it to con-
cessions which, derogatory to the
company's interests, could not be
granted and which would be equal
to a confiscation of the Company's
property.
The Waterworks company has
shown a favorable disposition to
assent to a compromise, while at
the same time they could claim
their legally contracted rights
without one cent eff reduction from
the rates as at present assessed.

But His Illusion Did Not Extend to the
Young Lady's Mother.

But His Illusion Did Not Extend to the
Young Lady's Mother.
Society Of the highly proper sort is
laughing in it's voluminous sleeve at
an adventure which befell handsome
nobleman attached to one of the for
eign legations. The young man, it APP
pears, is not averse to admiring femi-
nine beauty, and it is said that when
he visits the theater he takes a seat in
the front row and fixes his eyes on the
fair portion of the audience, says the
Washington Post
1t is only natural that a man with
such splendidly soulful eyes and lux
uriant mustache as the barons should
inspire reciprocal esteem in many of
the weaker sex, and is acquainted with
many damsels to whom he has never
received a formal introduction.
The other day he espied an exceed
ingly pretty brunette whom he immedi-
ately wanted to meet the worst way in
the world. When she discovered his
-admiring glances she dropped her lids
in that coquettish way which bespoke
a similar desire on her part.
The attache is up to such demure lit
tie idiosyncrasies and in less time
than it takes to tell it he was chatting
with her Her mental brightness was
even more pronounced than her per-
sonal attractiveness, and he was smit-
ten. She refused his invitation to
luncheon. however, and would not
even let him walk home with her, but
she said he might call and meet her
mother, and in case the latter was ia
vorably impressed with him he could
continue his visits. This was a new
type of the American girl to the diplo-
mat, so he rapturously applauded her
eminent good sense and straightfor-
wardness, and made an engagement,
in pursuance of her remarks, for the
very next night.
He was so anxious to make a good
appearance that he primped for half
an hour before the legation pier glass
and ruined dozen neckties before he
tied one of the proper terra Gotta
shade. Then he sailed forth on con-
quest bent.
He reached his latest inamoratas
residence and bright mulatto boy an
swered the bell. In answer to his in
quiry if Miss So-and-So was at home,
the youngster replied that SISTER
was in the parlor. The popularity Of
this remark didn't seem to strike the
foreigner, who had been tripped up so
many times by American idioms, and
he entered

He Feared Exacceration.

1 heard an amusing story from a
New York journalist the other day,
says writer in Gentlewoman. In
his youth he had been combined editor
and staff of paper that provided news
for one of the widest and most laWless
settlements in the Rockies. Mr.. -
was sitting in his Office, and wild
looking person was shown in, who said:
"Sir, have called to see you with re-
gard to disturbance that took place
at one of the bars last night. had a
row with a man last night, he riled me,
and got excited and shot him, and l
regret to say that in the excitement Of
the moment 1 scalped him; so I've
called on you, sir, to request that you
will see that no exaggerated report Of
this finds its way into your newspaper"

"How did you do lt?" burst out a

'Well, | remember as we'll as if it

The wife smiled.

''She wrote her name Minnie, and

it: No, won't Then we went home.

A Sim gle Barometer.

About the simplest barometer that
ono can have-and, it is said, one o
the most efficient-is made Of two bot
ties and some water. One of them
should be an ordinary wide.mouthed
pickle jar, filled with water to near
the top. The other should be long,
slim flask, which will go into the neck
of the jar, 80 that it will not reach the
bottom. This arrangement gives a
complete barometer. In fine weather
the water will raise into the neck OF
the flask higher than the mouth Of
the pickle bottle, In wet or windy
weather ii will fall to within an inch
of the mouth of the flask.
