lost.
Spencer arose and addressed the
council, stating that since hearing
the report read, he had nothing
more to say, and was in favor Of
accepting the system. On melton
to accept the report, all the coun-
cilmen voted yes except Cox, who
voted no.
After authorizing the Recorder to

it had been continually leaking
and from present indications would
continue to do so; that the water
would rot the woodwork in course
Of time, and concluded by empha-
tically objecting to receiving it on
these grounds.
At this juncture engineer Cum
mings came in and was asked by
Kirk how much pressure had been
put on the system as a test. He
informed the council that a pres
sure of 100 pounds to the square
inch had been maintained for three
days. When asked about the leak
at the tank, Mr.. Cummings said he
was unable to locate il; was of the
opinion that 1t did not amount to
much, and that in another weeks
time, all would be right; and furth-
er stated that the principal leaks
was in the joints of the pipe.
Cox asked what would be the
condition of the tower in a years
time If left in the present condition,
and answered his own question by
asserting that it would rot in that
time. Cummings said the timbers
were not wet.
Cox said the city had not got
what it had paid for. Cummings
said the city had as good system
as any town of its size on the coast,
and becoming warm informed Mr..
Cox theat he (Cox) wouldn't re-
ceive the system if 1t were the best
on earth.
Spencer thought that the man
ner Of putting in the gates was q
poor job.
Cox thought that the specifca-
tions should be read by members
of the council who were not famil.
lar with them, whereupon Cum
mings gave the councilman a jab
by stating that they had plenty Of
| time to read up on them during the
time he was putting in the system;
| if they then hadn't, it was not his
fault; did not propose to be detain-
ed week more ON that account,
| and his neck swelled when he CON
cluded by telling Cox that he had
been throwing cold water on the
work ever since it was begun.
| Spencer somewhat turned the
drift Of the debate by stating thai
he thought the system all right ex.
cept the tower, which leaked. Cum.
mings said he was willing to ad
NIT that the tank leaks-that it wat
nothing more than all new tanks
do.

Revenge IL Sweet.

1t takes Il bright woman to rebukc
another womnn's rudeness, a general
statement well borne out by a story
from the Atlanta Constitution.
y lady entered Il railway train and
took Il seat i'll front Of a newly mar.
ried couple. She was hardly seated
before they commenced making re.
marks about her.
Her last years bonnet and clonk
were fully criticised. with more or
less giggiing ON the brides part, and
there is no telling what might have
come next If the lady had not put n
sudden stop to the conversation by n
bit of strategy.
She turned her head, noticed that
the bride was considerably older than
the groom, and in the smoothest tones
said:
"Madam, will you please have your
son close the window behind you?-
Tho "son" closed his mouth and the
bride no longer giggled.

monia. Charles MACPHERSON, Il ma.

The sudden and unexpected death
Of Charles MACPHERSON cast Il gloom
over our quiet town which time alone

here for nearly twenty years. His
cver.ready, cheering word and help

for him a host OF friends, while his
scrupulous honesty in business affairs
obtained for him Il credit among
strangers enjoyed by few OF our citi.
At an early age he followed
the excitement to our western coun
try and after visiting Belmont, Aus
tin and other places. finally settled in
Cherry Creek, White Pine county,
where lie remained several years.
conducting a livery and feed stable.
In 1876 lie came To Tuscarora where
he has since resided continuously,
engaged in various honorable busiu-
ess pursuits. On Sunday last, the
18th instant. he complained Of Il cold
and an uneasy feeling in his chest and
retired early in the evening to the bed
from which he eve arose. 1t may
be Il source OF consolation to his dist.
ant friends to know that during his
short illness he received the most
careful nursing and the best of medi.
cal attendance.
His remains were forwarded this

FREE OF BLOOD.

Remarkable Optical Expe rluient OF In
terest to Anatomists Generally.
The most wonderful optical expert.
rem known to the eye experts is that
which produces the ''blool tree or
1.-THE arborcsccnt flgurc OF rnrkinje."
II is n very simple AMI II ,rtuining
experiment und one from which no
possible harm to the eye can result.
The experiment is an optical dclusion
In which tho retina Of the eye and all
the blood vessels connected herewith
appear to stand out in the mir in such
a manner that the cxpcrimentor has u
splendid view OF them.
Purkinje, tho great opticinn, acci.
dentally made this discovery of the
'blood tree" or "arborescent figure"
which bears his name, several wears
ago, aud since his time IL has been
used in thousands of test experiments.
The projected image is called the ''ar.
borescent figure" because of its re-
senblancc to-a mnny.branchcd tree,
and Is produced in the following man
nor: Shut yourself UP In n dark room
Mt night anG move n candle back and
forth very rapidly before the eyes.
After u fSw seconds the mir surrouttk
ing the candle will assume Il deep pink
or reddish color. which rapidly takes
upon itself the Appearance OF II sea of
blood. Over this red background ram.
flying in all directions may be seen tho
veins and blood vessels sttuding out
in bold relief, while toward the center
oI the ngurc there appears u dark,
tru!ik.lilsc line which serves as a
body" for your tree Of Blood the
trunk being most plainly visible
where the optic nerve enters the we.
This experiment Is chiefly interest
ing because it proyes that the parts OF
the rctina which actually receive im-
prcsGions ard produce sensations must
lie behind tho blood vessels. since these
