To Aid the Firemen,

Upon recommendation of the COM
mittee on fire department, the council
has ordered purchased two automatic
relief valves and two shut-off nozzles
Each engine will be provided with
valve and each hose company with
nozzle. This new apparatus will great
1y facilitate the work of the iremen, as
the water in the hose can be shut off
without notifying the engineer to stop
the engine. By this means much un
necessary flooding of property can be
prevented. The valves are to cost not
more than $50 apiece and the nozzles
about SIS each.

NEW SEWER BONDS.
Issue of $l2, ,OOO-Old Issue of S1s, 900
Repealed.

AepeaIeu
At She last meeting Of the common
council an ordinance was passed re-
pealing the issue of sewer bonds dated
November l, 1894, amounting to $18 900,
and another ordinance enacted issuing
a new lot to the amount of $4,000, to
bear date of April l, 1895, with per
cent. interest, payable semi annually,
each bond to be in the sum of $500.
They are to be paid off in six yearly
installments of 1000 each.
Of the November issue, $l2, 900 were
sold at public auction to the highest
bidder and the balance placed on the
market here. Private parties took $4,-
900 of the latter, while the former we're
taken by brokerage firm in Cleveland.
However, this firm backed out Of the
deal and refused to pay for the bonds,
when 1t was apparent that the Metcalf
judgment against the city was collect
ible and an issue of bonds for which
would bring the total bonded indebted
ness of the city to more than the law
allows, based on the assessed valuation.
Under these circumstances, and consid
ering that 1000 was wholly adequate
for intended sewer purposes, it was
thought best to make new issue and
destroy the old. The $4,000 of the
November bonds held by parties will
be exchanged for the same amount Of
the ne w issue

wall paper, and as poet. At Kelmscott
house, Hammersmith, he designs es-
thetic wall papers for which he is de-
servedly famous, and the Kelmscott
Press, which he conducts, is noted for
the beautiful books which it produces.
Though he seems to be set nowadays
on winning laurels as designer and
publisher, William Morris has a long
and brilliant record as poet. His first
book of verses: 1.-THE Defense of Guine-
we're and Other POEMS" was published
as far back as 1858. This was followed
by "The Life and Death of JASON"
which put him in the first rank of liv-
ing poets. In his next work: "The
Earthly Paradise" he well-nigh ex-
hausted the treasures of Greek mythol-
ogy and Gothic folklore. This is a
work with plan which is somewhat
indebted to that of the Canterbury
Tales"
Certain gentlemen and mariners of
Norway sail in quest OF 'the earthly
paradise"-an island of bliss-fnd it,
and remain in it for the remainder of
their lives, passing the time with tales
from Greek and Teutonic sources. The
poem is not meant to inculcate vigor or
active effort Though these may find
their remote position in the tales); the
primary conception implies castle of
Incidence, an existence conditioned by
languid repose. The poet does not
fume and fret, but he has hopes that
when there is leisure he may be thought
worthy of some attention:
But rather when aweary OF your mirth
From full hearts still unsatisfed ye sigh,
And feeling kindly unto all the earth
Grudge every minute as it passes by
Made tho more mindful as the sweet days
die
Remember me little then, pray,
The idle singer of an empty day.
The critics of Mr.. William Morris
have complained of late that he has
wasted too much time over the transla-
tion of Icelandic Sagas. But, as before
stated, he is far greater as a man than
as a poet. AT Merton Abbey in Surrey
he has run for some years a factory in
which by producing artistic wall paper,
furniture, ETC., he has tried to restore
the dignity of art to ordinary house
hold decoration. He has fought that
curse of the whole Philistine world,
sham art and stupid bric-a-brac. His
fundamental principle was thus ex-
pressed in one of his lectures: 81 do
not want art for the few any more than
education for the few or freedom for
the few"

If anyone should ask Miss yariua
Anne jefferson Davis for the story of
her life she would reply, in the language
of the needy knife-grinder "Storyl
Bless you, I've none to tell" This
would be quite true so far as her
own recollection goes, but at the
time of her life of which she knows
nothing but by hearsay she had
some thrilling experiences.
winnie Davis" as she is always
called, was born in the executive
mansion at Richmond, Va, at the
close OF the warm June, 1864, /
beileve-and when she was in long
clothes she was sharing her fathers
prison cell with him. She had her
experiences of war before that, for
she took part in the retreat from Rich
mond, jolting along for hundreds of
miles in an ambulance. Even at that
early stage of her career she showed
that she was worthy to be soldiers
daughter; for, according to her moth
er, who ought to know, she never
fretted or was cross, and if the ambu-
lance gave particularly hard bounce
over the rough roads her baby cheeks
would flush with pain, but she kept her
tears back for more trying occasions.
Her father had been at Fortress Mon
roe for year when Mrs. Davis and Win
ME joined him. The other children, be-
ing older, were left in Canada with
their grandmother. Winnie was still
babe in arms; all day long she would
play contentedly in her fathers prison
room. She was much petted by the Of
ficers and their wives, but she preferred
to be with her father in his cramped
quarters rather than to enjoy the free
dom that he could not share.
The first five years of the little
Winnie's life were spent in England;
then she was brought back to Mem
phis, Tenn. At an unusually early age
she showed a taste for reading, and her
parents directed her young mind
through the fields where the best lit

William Norris, Who hIay 30 Poet Lau-
reato of ENGLAND.
There is no SO little understood a
man in the literary world of London as
William Morris, who has been spoken
Of lately in connection with the post
of poet laureate. tits because he is SO
many-sided a man that be is known
neither by his countrymen nor BY
Americans. II he were only mere
poet it would be easy to write of him
to make an estimate and properly class
ify him-but he is larger figure in
life than he is in literature, and he
therefore belongs to the future rather
than to the present in the way of criti-
cism.
He is spoken of Unfortunately as a
socialist, as designer of furniture and

erature grew, says Harper's Bazaar. Hel
father was particularly proud of hel
precocity, and loved to read aloud tc
her and listen to her wise comments OF
what he had read. The climate of the
south did not agree with the child, sc
she was sent to boarding-school al
Carlsruhe, Germany, where she not
only learned the language of the coun-
try, but became equally proficient in
French, so that when she went to Paris,
at the end of her German school days,
she had only to put the finishing touches
to her knowledge of that language.
She also studied music and drawing,
and though she never has done as much
with those two arts as she should have,
considering her talents, she occasion
ally charms her friends with song OF
delights them with the gift of paint
ing by her hand.
AT the age of seventeen Miss Davis
returned to her native land and con-
tinued her studies under her fathers
direction. She not only studied and
read with him, but she shared his love
of horses, and many were the long
rides they took on their thoroughbreds
through the woods at Beauvoir. Though
studious girl, and fond of reading, she
is an out-of-door girl as well, and not
having horse in New York, where she
spends the winters, or at Narragansett
Pier, where her summers are passed,
she mounts her wheel and flies over the
roads in manner that would astonish
her favorite horse if he could see her.
Miss Davis made her social debut
in New Orleans, just after her return
from Paris, as queen of the carnival.
Shortly after this she accompanied her
father to Atlanta, Ga, where at a recep-
ton rendered to him she was intro
duced to the cheering crowd by Gen.
John Gordon as ''the daughter of the
confederacy," and by that name she is
known all through the south. That the
confederate soldiers regard her in this
light is proved by the number of regi-
mental and brigade badges which they
have presented her, and which she
wears when she attends their reunions.
Miss Davis debut as writer may
be said to have been made in a pamphlet
she wrote for New Orleans literary
club, and which was published and
passed through three editions. She has
written for the North American Re-
view and other periodicals, SO that
when she wrote 1.-THE Yelled Doctor"
she was hardly novice with the pen.
That, however; was her first novel;
but, judging by the way it has been re-
ceived, it will not be her last. In fact,
1 believe that she was already engaged
on another before 1.-THE Yelled Doctor"
was published.
The death of her father, Jefferson
Davis, which occurred during her sec
ond visit to Paris, was severe blow
to Miss Davis, and she was so Frustrated
by II that her life was dcspaired of.
Youth and high health were on her side.

CONCERNING GARBAGE

Councilman Munson yesterday called
public attention to the alleged reported
violation of their contract by the garbage
contractors. Munson stated in open

any steps whatever toward remedying
this evil. So again beg to call your
attention further to this matter.
Hundreds of cans filled with garbage
are sitting on the sidewalks from morn

morning, covered with flies and fostering
with filth and foul smelling udors, which,
in spite of the protests of long-suffer-

no apparent redress.
