The WaterwOrks Tested.

saturdays Mail.
This forenoon the waterwOrks COM
mittee of the city council notified the
waterwOrks company that they would
make test of the waterwOrks this
afternoon for the purpose of determ-
lining whether the company could fur
nish the pressure required of it by its
contract with the city and that four
IhydrantS in the vicinity o; Hunters
elevator would be selected. During
the forenoon an employe of the COM
lpany went around and flushed the n.y.
drantS 10 that part of town.
1t was Two o'clock this afternoon be.
f6te everything was ready to start
the test. The four hydrants selected
were the one on Washington avenue
at the corner of Chas. Wilsie's proper
ty, two blocks east of Hunters mill
the one Just across the street east o,
the elevator, the one a block nOrtt
of the elevator, all three Of these be
ing on one main, and the one a
Piatts.cOrner two blocks west. TIT
committe had placed Fireman Ed
Wheeler at the engine house to Sc,
that the pumps were not used. Tn
tank was full. At2 o'clock, the mil
whistle blew and the hydrants wer
turned on. Only fifty feet of hos
was attached to each hydrant an

Qne-inch nozzles were used, but the
one at the elevator was scant inch.
There were no means Of accurately
measuring the height of any of the
streams except the one at the
elevator. Waiting for the most
( favorable opportunity, when there
was scarcely breeze blowing, the
stream was turned onto the corner Of
the elevator. The highest point il
ever reached was not thirty-fve feet
from the ground. Sam Davis who
was handling this nozzle then tried to
see how far he could throw a stream
on the ground, both directly with and
against the wind. There was no ma
terial difference in the two distances;
each measured just at tifty-6ve feet.
The results at the different hydrants
were just about tie same. None of
them could throw water sixty feet in
any direction, much less upward.
The ordinance provides that the
water in the tank alone, without any
assistance from the pumping machin-
cry shall throw four One-inch streams,
from any four MIGRANTS, through fifty
feet Of hose, sixty-fve feet high, for
two hours; but at about 2:l5 o'clock
the men at the nozzle said the pumps
were working and in short time Ed.
Wheeler arrived on the ground with
the information that in fifteen min
utes after the test began H. R.
Wightman had started the pumps.
When Wheeler protested, Wightman
answered that Joe Thralls had order
ed him to start the pumps and keep
the tank full and that he was going
to do 50.
The committee then tried the ele-
yatOr corner again and the stream
reached up about forty feet. After
notifying Mr.. Thralls that they had
had enough Of that sort of a test and
that they wanted all the direct press
ure he could give them in thirty min
uteS, they turned off all the hydrants
except the one at the elevator. By
this time the pumps were working
vigorously and every stroke of them
was plainly visible in the thrObbing
of the fifty feet of hose. And another
effort was made to get the water onto
the roof of the annex to the elevator,
but the very best that could be done
was to throw a few drops on the
eaveS-ffty-twO feet from the ground.
We consider that further comments
en- this test are unnecessary at this
time. 1t thoroughly demonstrates
that the waterworks system does not
afford the fire protection the city pays
for and it further demonstrates that
Joe Thralls will resort to any means
whatever within his power to prevent
the city authorities from demonstrate
ing to the public to what extent they
are being plundered by his bosses.
But we mistake the temper and the
manhood of the people of wellington
if such methods succeed in the end.
As we 60 to press the water COM
mittee is getting ready to make the

A Base Instrumentation

At the council meeting last night,
j. NJ. Thralls stated to the council
that the chief cause of the lack of
pressure at yesterdays fire was that
two printing offices were running
their motors, one of them a part of
the time and the other all of the time
during the fire. We DOUBTED the
truth of this statement at the time he
made it and investigation proves that
it is untrue.
At The time the fire alarm was
sounded, Campbell & Hoods motor
was not running. They had just fin
iShed running off the Monitor-Press
and as the editor Of the Mail started
to the fire he met Will Grissell carry.
ing one Of the forms from the Stand
ard office to the MOnitor-Press office.
Thereafter, they set up an account of
the fire for the Standard and made up
its forms and Robert Sea, who was In
charge thereof, says they did not get
the STANDARD forms on the press earli-
er than 3:45 O'Clock p. m. All the
MOnitOr-Press people state positively
that for at least an hour and half
after the fire alarm their motor was
not running at all.
The only other motor in the city is
the one in the VOICE office. At the
time of the fire the VOICE had not
gone to press, although it was just
ready to do so. Judge Naugle, Fred
Naugle, his foreman, and Cornell
Guthrie, his pressman, all inform us
that they did not start their motor
until after Judge Naugle returned
from the fire which we know was as
late as 2:3O O'Clock. All the VOICE
people state positively that their mo-
tor was entirely shut off all afternoon
until after 2:45 o'clock, at least three
quarters Of an hour after the fire
alarm.
1t is therefore very apparent that
Mr.. Thralls, in order to try to Shift
blame from his own shoulders or from
those Of his company, either inten.
tionally or unintentionally, has very
seriously misrepresented these two
newspaper offices and placed them in
a false and unjust light in the eyes Of
the community.-Mail, Friday.

When the Hunter Milling Co. COM
pleted their elevator the representa-
tive Of the association OF insurance
companies who fixes insurance rates
for all new buildings came to Well
ingtOn. The efficiency of the water
works in extinguiShing fire should
one occur in the elevator would cut a
very important figure in fixing the in
Surarfce rate not only upon the eleyat-
or but also upon its contents. There
isa fire plug right at the elevator. The
rate man desired an actual test of
of the waterwOrks. The situation
was explained to J. NJ. Thralls, the
waterwOrks manager and both the
local insurance agents and the Hunter
people asked him to make the water
works do their best. In order that
they should do so, NJ. Thralls per-
SOnally superintNnded the test. Pre-
pairing everything to snit himself and
with only one hose, he colud not, by
all the means afforded by our water
system, throw water more;than sixty
feet up or the elevator-could not
reach the main elevator building at
all. Consequently a much larger
amount of money is constantly taken
out Of the community for insurance
upon this elevator and its contents,
but still the same amount is going
back TO New England to these water
works people as though they had hon.
estly earned it by furnishing the city
actual protection from fire.

Stick to the Truth.
wichita Eagle.


Ten years ago no member of con-
gress could be found who would ad-
nit that he knew, at the time of its
passage that the coinage act of 1873
demonetized silver. In fact it was
three or four years after before many
who voted for the measure realized
its import. Senator Plumb declared
that he had been unable to find a
single member Of the senate who
would acknowledge knowing the re-
suit Of their respective votes on that
bill. In the after debates and up to
within five years many senators and
congressman have openly declared
that they did not know, at the time,
that the '73 act demOnetized silver.
Yet there lies before us an answer to
Coins School" issued by the Bank
ers Magazine which declares that the
minting and coming act of 1873, which
made gold the single standard, was of
public nOtOriety and widely discussed.
This only goes to show that with all
the subterfuge, manipulation and jug.
Cling over the silver question that
there is also a Zeal of plain straight
forward lying.
The gOldrings and money cOmbin-
ations OF the world are at last aroused
to the demand Of the people. Being
confronted by the industrial, CONNER
cial and productive interests upon all
sides that they have at lastOpened out

the religion OF Christ. Without tear
or tremor they stood before him and
pleaded guilty. Publius, moved with
sympathy, told the mother that If she
would persuade her sons to renounce
Christ he would spare their lives.
Every true parent knows that it is
much easier to lay down his own life
for a sacred cause than to consign his
children to the alter. 1t requires a
loftier courage to say to the demon of
persecution, thirsting for blood, Take
my child" than 1t does to say to him,
Take me-" Many of us can truthfully
say that, in such crisis we could joy
fully surrender our own lives to save
the lives of our children. Look then
at that Roman mother. The judge is
say? Not only the court, but Rome
the world, heaven and hell are inn
patient for her to speak. Listen
"Most noble Pulbius, / am not unmind-
full of the generous sympathy which
makes it possible for me to save from
temporal death the children whom
God has given me-. But neither your
kindness, nor my love for them, can
tempt ne to violate my convictions of
truth, right and duty" Having said
this, she stood by and saw her eldest
son scourged with loaded thongs till
he died the next two beaten to death
with clubs; the fourth flung from a
rock and the other three decapitated.
Then praising God that he had given
her seven sons whom he had counted
worthy to die for His cause, she laid
her own head upon the block, and it
was severed from her body. Incom-
parable woman tho memory of thy
noble daring is a priceless and i'm
perishabie Legacy. Thou art immor-
tai. The imperial despotism which
slew thy body is buried and epitaphed
with the eXecrations of the just. But
thou canst never die. Thy name is
writ where stars are lit, and its power
on human life shall be felt until times
last thunder shakes the world"
My friends when we consider how
such heroes have enriched the world,
and how they are now robed, crowned,
and sceptred among the principalities,
powers and potentates of the world to
come, we can scarcely fail TO covct
their spirit, and to initiate the virtues.

Arrangements Are Now Being Made
to Transport Machinery to the

In connection with the movement to
extend the cotton manufacturing in
dustry into the Southern States, the
Boston Herald says that there is every
reason to believe that the manufaC-
turcrS OF the cOarscr grades Of cotton
cloths will be practically unknown in
New England in the not distant future
Negotiations are nov pending in
that city, looking to the shipment Of
2GO car loads Of mill machinery to the
South, most Of il having been in use in
one OF the largest cotton factories in
New Hampshire. This consignment,
it tis'bclicvcd. will be followed by others,
when the Southern mills now under
way are completed.
In speaking on this decay Of one of
New England's chief industries. Mr.
John II. Patrick, secretary of the
Southern immigration and Industrial
Association, who was sent North to
give additional stimulus to this latest
industrial movement, said that this
section had nothing to fear, so far Us
the finer grades of cotton were con-
ccrncG that New England would con
tinuc to be the home of this branch Of
the business so long as she controlled
the market for the highest skilled
labor. This was where the south WAS
weak, and there appeared to BE- no
Immediate prospect Of improvement
in this direction. Then again there
were certain climatic disad Jantagcs to
be found there which prohibits the at
tainmcnt OF the best result in spinning
the finest yarns.
The method Of handling the product
Of Southern mills is anoChCr matter
that Is receiving his attention. AnOth-
cr Of Mr.. patrick's missions is to show

agricultural products in Boston and
other Northern cities, SO that the peo-
