WATERWORKS AT LAST
THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE A Dead
SURE THING.
The Contract will Garry With IL $4,000
Forfeit-s1 900 Already Up--Thc Deaf tos,
Be Closed Aug. 6-samuel r.. Bullock, OF.
New York, the Man.

After six weeks of earnest endeayos-
the city council has at last settled
the waterworks question by accepting
the proposition of Samuel r. Bull
lock, of New York.
Profting by its experience with
Jones and Bailey and Martin and
Starr, who one after the other have
figured and funked, the council
some weeks ago passed an ordinance
requiring forfeit of $1,000 to ac-
company every bid and an additional
forfeit of 81 1000 to be put up when a
contract was signed. For some time
there have been two parties negotia-.
ting for the franchise.
Samuel R. Bullock, Of New York.
and Wilkerson IL Smallhouse, Of
Bowling Green, have been pushing
their claims for a contract. Tuesday
night the council met and opened
their bids. Bullock wanted $4,000
for so hydrants and 81 miles of pipe
and Wilkerson wanted $4,000 for the,
same.
The council considered both prop.
ositions too high and so both men
withdrew their bids and Wilkersont
left for home. Bullock stayed day
longer and Wednesday night submit
ted an amended proposition, which,
was unanimously accepted. Its terms
are briefly as follows:
The franchise is for twenty years,
but the contract is for one year only,
to conform to the constitution. tits
understood, however, that it will be
renewed annually for at least. FIVE.
years.
The city is to get one hundred hys
drants and nine and half miles of
pipe-6, s, 10 and IL inches-for
"a 900, payable semi-annually.
1t will be built on the standpipe>
system and the water will be taken
from Little River a mile or more,
above the city.
The plant will be supplied wittr.
two one million gallon pumps of THE.
latest improved patterns. The pip
ing will have gate attachments for,
closing any or all of the mains.
The franchise will be advertised an,
once for ten days and the contract
signed Aug. 6. The first forfeit OF
81 900 Was put up with the bid and
81 900 more will 60 up when the ecn-
tract is signed. Bullock, has until,
the 18th inst to take exceptions to the.
contract, but this is not likely to, be-.
done, as he was present and entered
into verbal contract. He proposes
to begin work by Aug. 10, and finisha
as early as possible.
The limit is six months, which
would require the terms of the pro-
posed contract to be complied with.
by Feb, +, or the $1,000 would belong,
to the city.
Mr.. Jno B. Crawley, chief engineer
who has been with Mr.. Bullock for
twelve years, is in the city and has
already taken charge of the work..
The pipe has been ordered and there.
will be no delay. Mr.. Bullock has
put in twenty-three waterworks plants
including those at Paducah, KY, and
Jacksonville and Vincennes, Ind.
The prospects for waterworks powr
seem bright for once and the bust
ness basis upon which the proposed
contract will be made, ought to insure
a bona fide effort to carry it out. It
is estimated that the plant will cost
from $40 OOO RI G76 OO0

WHY MEN SHOULD MARRY.
Celibates Lose Opportunities for Mental
and Moral Development.

1t was clearly meant that all men, as
well as all women, should marry; and
those who, for whatever reason, miss
this obvious destiny are, from natures
point OF view, failures, says the North
American Review. 1t is not a question
Of personal felicity (Which in eight
eases out of ten may be more than
problematic), but of race responsibility.
The unmarried man is a sllulker, who,
in order to secure his own ease, dooms
some woman who has a rightful claim
upon him to celibacy. And in SO doing
he defrauds himself of the opportu-
mites for mental and moral develop
ment which only the normal experience

to me that they not only have that
power but have it to a most remark
able degree. One summer in northern
Pennsylvania | killed fine specimen
of a RATHER and carried it on stick
two miles to the place where l was
stopping. A native of that locality
on seeing the snake said:
- That's she RATHER and you folks
around here want to watch out. Her
mate will be along looking for her to
morrow or next day, suren
Il kinned the snake and took the
carcass to the hog pen and gave 1t to
the hogs and thought no more about
it. Next forenoon | heard loud
scream from one of the women of the
family, and she came running into the
house declaring that she had seen IL
big rattlesnake on the front stoop,
=" The first time, she said, that a
live rattlesnake has been around the
house in twenty five years.
II hurried out, but could see moth
ing of the snake. 1t occurred to me
then what the native had said about
the mate of the dead snake following
her. | walked toward the hog pen and
there | discovered rattlesnake NOV
ing to and fro on the ground in front
of the sty, and acting as if it were
looking for place to get in. watch
ed the manouvres of the snake for a
few minutes and then killed it. The
snake was a male, and the native at
once declared that it was the mate OF
the one | had killed the day before.
The front stoop where this snake had
just made its appearance at the house
was the first place had stopped with
the dead snake and gone from there
with it to the hog pen
81 perhaps, in spite of the clrcum,
stantial evidence against it, would
never have believed that this snake
was anything else but one that had
come casually to the premises, II
similar incident hadn't occurred
couple of days later. A man who was
working in haying on the place llved
four miles distant and went home SAT
urday night to spend Sunday. On ms
way back Sunday afternoon he killed
rattlesnake in the road and brought
it in. 1t happened to be female, ana
warning was given that lookout
better be kept for its mate, AS a
matter of curiosity | took the dead
snake from where IL mao Deen ldili III
the road near the house and took it to
an old vacant house in a field half a
mile down the road from the place
where | was stopping. | left the snake
there, and next day went back to the
old house to see if any snake would
follow it there, keeping watch along
the road Along in the middle OF the
forenoon l saw big snake coming
down the road and l got into clump
of bushes. The snake came into the
field. 1t was RATHER and it made
straight for the house. ! followed 1t;
1t went in at the open door, The dead
snake lay on the floor. The live one
went up to it and around it several
times, and then lay still. as if thinking
the matter over. | watched the snake

Cheering Prophecy.

Judge Andrews of Georgia used to
tell an amusing story Of the way in
which he was once taken down 10y
one of his audience during political
address. He was candidate for gov
ernor Of his state, and was explaining
to the crowd of people that had assem-
bled to hear him that his friends had
pressed him to be a candidate and that
the office was seeking him: he was
not seeking the Office. "In fact, " he
exclaimed, 1.-The office Of governor has
been following me for the last ten
years." At this point a tall country
man at the rear of the audience rose.
But here's yer consolation, judge =,
he shouted. you're gainin' on 1t all
the time. tn never catch You -
This cheering prophecy proved to be
quite correct, in spite Of the mirth 1t
provoked at the time Of its utterance.

Bob" Toombs and the Yankees.

Admiral Meade the other day related
a story told him 10y Maj. Howell,
brother of the editor of the Atlanta
Constitution, Maj Howell was little
more than a boy when the late wal
broke out. He heard Bob Toombs
make many fiery addresses, and tell
how ne would call the roll of his slaves
on Bunker Hill. Other fire eaters
preached about the picnic the south
would have in promenading from Dixie
to Canada. These orators declared
that the Yankees were no soldiers,
that they couldn't shoot for shucks.
In fact, every time a "lank' pulled a
trigger he shuts his eyes. Young
Howell drank in all these stories, and
entered the confederate service. y
couple of years later the battle ground
was in the Shenandoah valley. Toombs
was ma jor general: Howell captain.
The fight was hot one, and the en-
envy was suffering dreadfuly from the
smallarm fire Of the Union army.
Capt. Howell, finding himself close To
Gen. Toombs, said General, |
thought those lanks always shut their
eyes when they tired:' so they
do answered the doughty Toolnbs,
and then added But they shoot a
id sight better with 'em closed
than our fellows do with their eyes
open. - From the Philadelphia

By WAY OF ANECDOTE.
and Melancholy Barber.


Napoleon's smooth face was sure
evidence of his dislike for beard. In
some anecdotes of the Russian cam
paign there is story told of the great
emperor and poor but witty barber,
who had occasion to shave him. Ma
poleon had made rather lengthy de-
tour from the line of march with ii de
tachment of officers. Arriving at i
small village they refreshed themselves
with a good meal and baths. Napol-
con, wishing to be shaved, the village
barber was called in. While the poor
fellow strapped his razor and passed il
industriously over the the great en-
pcror's chin, he remained silent and
seemingly melancholy, although per-
forming his work with amazing rapid
ity and smoothness. When he had
finished, Napoleon complimcnted him,
remarking, But man, why do you
wear such a melancholy face. You
should be happy to have the privilege
of shaving an emperor
Il am doubly happy, your majesty. =
Then what is it that troubles
your"
ALIAS, your majesty, when | think
of the kings upon kings and empcrors
that have died without knowing what
it was to be shaved by me, | am sad
and melancholy. - From Harper's
