We refer to the water works and the
electric light plant which was con-

Water Works and Electric Light Co.,
was organized about n year ago
with 7. w. Cannon president, and F.

both of Cairo, and our former resi-
dent, Dick Cannon, as superintendent.
The work of construction was pushed
and on the 14th of last January a
light system was opened that is equal
to any in use and on the 18th of last
month the water works were submitted
to a test that satisfied the most skep-
teal. The power house is above the
Cape on the banks of the Mississippi

taken, a huge filter was constructed in
the river bed, solid rock blasted out
some 4 feet deep, 40 long and As wide,

makerstown, Pa, where he remained
nine years. Having become Method
list, he preached the Gospel on Sundays,
and his wisdom and glowing eloquence
soon raised him above the shop into
scholastic and theological circles. His
religious views changed in the direction
Of Unitarianism, and after being ex-
PEELED from the Methodist conference
he became Unitarian Clergyman and
removed to Chicago to take charge of a
mission among the poor. In 1860 he or
ganized Unity church in that city, of
which he was pastor, until 1879, when
he went to New York to assume charge
of the Church of the Messiah, which
post he still holds. DR.. Collyer has writ
ten several books, and his lectures have
been widely popular, especially his IA
vorite lecture "Grit." The poetic In
stinct Is developed in him to degree
that makes all his prose merely another
form of poetry. Among the best of his
published poems, and one that will
live to be read and admired by future
generations, is psalm of thanksgiving
written after the great Chicago fire Of
1871. DR.. Colyer seems to always look
on the sunny side of life, and his con-
versation is full of entertaining and
amusing "reminiscences,

trimmings laid on the cloth in fat sur,
faces. A pure white embroidered lace
is shown for this particular goods and
suits 1t admirably Rows Of white
stitching are used on the material
when 1t is tailor-made.
A new style of cape is revival OF the
old-fashioned tippet, and it is refresh.
ingly plain and simple, being circular
shape without ruffie or puff. The one
I saw was made of Thunderstorm
cloth, to match the gown. 1t fell lit
tie below the waist line, and was lined
with white silk. The edge bad band
of the cloth about an inch wide edred
with white. A double turnover collar
completed the neck. The cut of the
cape caused it to fall in full plaits over
the large sleeves, and gave it its ele-
giant simplicity.
Large buttons are in evidence again
only a few being worn on a costume,
Three are placed at short intervals on
the side seam of a skirt, either from
the waist down or from the feet up.
Double-waisted bodices show three
fancy buttons on each side.
A desirable dress for an elderly bride
has just been sent home from the par
lors of a noted modiste, and it was
charming ,confection of French dress
making. The fabric was a pearl. gray
silk shot with some seeded figure. The
front of the bodice was draped with
silk gauze, the gray groundwork of
which was embroidered with pink
roses. The sweet little bonnet, which
was to be worn during the ceremony,
was white fancy braid, with pigeon
wings at the side, and needle-work
veil of white lace. This elderly bride
will carry white book of prayer in her
delicately gloved hands, and 1t will
bear her monogram IN silver. ,
A dear little muslin gown, made for
going-away girl, was so simple and yet
so stylish that feel it should be record
ed here. The muslin itself was pale
green notified ground, with narrow
darker stripe. The skirt was cut in six
cores, and made a perfect circle of six
yards, and was plain. The waist was
with a box-plaited back,
and the front of bodice full blouse of
white muslin, with narrow insertions
and edge of butter-yellow lace; big leg
of-mutton sleeves The garniture con-
sisted of green satin ribbon, three
inches wide, put on in straight lapels
over the shoulder, finished with point
back and front Stock collar with
large upright bow. Belt with bow in
the back standing up to match collar.
The blouse in front fell over the belt.
I mention the style particularly because
any home seamstress can make one like
1t in a couple of days, and this one cost
twenty dollars for the making alone, at

DinacuIty of Saving Money.

"Talk about saving money" said a
veteran millionaire to Buffalo En-
quirer reporter, sit is hundred times
harder now to keep cash in your pocket
than it was when was young fellow
and didn't spend cent. tell you it's
hard for them to save in these times.
Every young man wants bicycle, and
it's mighty hard to stand on the street
and see your friends spinning by on
wheels and not invest yourself. Again,
it's great privation for young fellow
not to be well dressed. The distinction
between good clothes and poor is so
sharp nowadays that it is CALLING to be
conspicuous by cheap attire. Again,
there is the theater, the excursion boat,
the races, and score of other induce
ments to spend money which hardly
existed in my day, and I'm glad they
didn't, for If they had honestly think
I would have been poor man now"

THE BICYCLE CANNON.
How the Guns May BE Mounted In Futur
Wars.


How the Guns May Be Mounted In Future
Wars.
With the many new devices of offense
and defense which have recently made
their appearance comes the bicycle
cannon. The gun mounted on bicycle
was In parade in New York city re-
Gently, and was seen by thousands Of
people, says the National Tribune.
The vehicle was twin cycle, in ap-
pearance much like a tricycle., and
known as a duplex. 1t is especially
light and strong. The cannon, steel
rifled affair thirty-four inches in
length, eight inches at the butt and
four at the muzzle, and weighing about
fifty pounds, is swung between the two
rear wheeles resting upon the con-
Meeting axle and is further supported
from above. An ingenious mechanism
permits of the piece of ordnance being
raised or detected to any angle.
The caisson containing the ammuni-
ton is carried on another duplex. Four
artillerymen equip the battery. They
are at once gun crew and motive power.
Two men ON the seats can propel the
machines with their heavy loads at a
faster gate than horses have ever
shown in similar service. The work Of
wheeling the gun Into position Is the
work Of an instant
