A BIG PRICE FOR WATER.
IL Is Asked Why the People should
PAY More Than Ii Costs

The question OF water meters is still Sc
riously aeitatlng the public mind. 1t has
been stated that the water committee
thinks the city should make $1,000 from
the water supply while the expenses OF
operating the water works are put at 80
000 a year. That is said TO be putting The
expenses at a high figure, but even with
that there are many people who are asking
why the water committee should want the
city 10 make such an enormous profit on
the water supplied from the people who
pay for the works and then pay for the
water they use.
The politico-ecOnomical idea is that the
water works and gas lighting plants should
be run by the municipal governments for
the very reason that by this means the
people can be furnished with those pro-
ducts at cost. and those who have given
the matter some consideration are ASKING
why this cannot be done.
1t is stated that the plant cost some
Sij0000. which includes some Of the mains
leading from the works, and that II Is
necessary TO create a sinking fund Tor
the purpose Of replacing the works when
ever they may wear out. Even II this
hand that sinking fund Of $4,000 year
might be created which, within twenty
years, would practically replace the en-
tire works, considering that the life Of the
plant is about twenty years, and this IS
looked on as a most liberal estimate.
This added to the highest estimate Of
the expenses OF operation, would make
SIS. 00O and IL has been asked why the city
government should want TO make S30,OJO
more than that out of supplying water to
the people
Some Of those interested say that the
city should run the works similar 10 the
manner in which II would be operated by
a private corporation, and that interest
should be received on the investment
That is answered by the statement that
il is making the people pay interest on
their own money and their own invest
ment which defeats the very principle
and argument that is urged in behalf Of
the municipal government owning and
operating the water works. Then, too,
the vast amount of water used by the
city Is not taken into consideration in this
calculation, which, If it were, II is said
it would be making the people pay some
thing like three or four times the cost of
furnishing the water for having the use
of it, These are some of the statements
in connection with the water meter sys-
tenn that are being made and constantly
talked about, and 1t may be interesting to
consider them.

PUTTING WIRES UNDER GROUND.
The City to Have One of the Bell Co.'s
Conduit Pipes for Its wires.

There has been a good deal of interest
in the laying of the conduit pipe for the
telephone wires which are to be used
by the Bell Telephone Company when it
puts up its new building at Drayton and
Congress streets.
There has been a particular curiosity
to know how the wires are going to be
put into the pipes. There are twenty of
the conduit pipes layed, starting from the
point Of the proposed new exchange, but
as they go from one street TO another
they soon dwindle down to a smaller
number. In fact, only a block away there
are only fourteen, and running down Bay
street lane there will be tVe or six only,
and these will gradually diminish in num-
Der until they reach East and West Broad
streets. Some of the pipes will also be
layed in Congress street lane, others in
Broughton street lane for short distance
and others in Perry street lane.
The number of pipes grows less the
greater the distance from the exchange.
On Drayton street they will be put down
only as far as Liberty street. At GER
tain intervals man holes are placed, and
il is through these that the wires are put
In each of the conduit pipes
there Is placed lead tube con-
tanning compactly $50 insulated wires, and
these are drawn through from manhole to
manhOle by means of windlasS. The
wires then are carefully connected in the
manholes and all of them are tested, so
that there can be no mistake in any OF
them.
The telephones are reached by means
Of distributing poles. At certain points
from which a large number of telephones
can be easily reached these poles are
erected and the wires from the ground
run up in them to the top. From there
they are distributed to the various sur
rounding telephones.
The Bell company has donated to the
city one of its conduit pipes around the
entire circuit which may be used for the
purpose of putting under ground the wires
the FIRE alarm wires II has NOT been def
nitely decided as yet just what the city
will do with. regard to putting it's wires

CIGARS MAY BE HIGHER.
Manufacturers Rushing over Leaf
Tobacco From Cuba.

Tobacco From Cuba.
Mayor Myers received a letter yesterday
from Congressman Lester, replying to an
inquiry for information as to the proba-
bility of an increase of duty by the Span
ish government. on exports of leaf tobacco
to the United States.
Col. Lester inclosed a copy of a report
recently made to the state department by
Consul General Ramon Williams of Ha-
Vana on the subject.
Mayor Myers stated in explanation to a
Morning News reporter that such move
by the Spanish government has been ap-
pretended by the cigar manufacturers for
some time, and hence their anxiety for
the latest information. One of the reasons
why such an increase in export duties
was expected by the domestic manufac-
turers, he said, Is that the last tariff bill
placed such a high duty on imported
cigars as compared with leaf tobacco,
that the Cuban cigar manufacturers are
placed at a great disadvantage, and the
imports of cigars by dealers in this coun-
try have fallen off greatly.
1t was thought that the Spanish gov
eminent might increase the export duties
on leaf tobacco as retaliation for the
high import duties on cigars and by in
creasing the cost of material to the
American manufacturers thus place the
Cuban manufacturers on a more equal
footing.
Consul General Williams report to the
state department states that he has not
heard Of any proposition to increase the
export duty on tobacco ship
ped exclusively TO the United
States. This, he says. would be
an act of discrimination such as would
hardly be undertaken by the Spanish GOV
eminent. But a proposition, says Mr..
Williams, for the increase of the export
duty on leaf tobacco, and decrease of
the same duty on cigars, shipped to all
countries, was presented some time ago
by the chamber of commerce and the
union Of cigar manufacturers of Havana
TO the Madrid government. The object of
TINS was TO Keen the (Tnhan q ioar L
from leaving the island for Key West.
Tampa, New York and other ports of the
United States. Nothing has been done,
so far, however.
Mayor Myers said that owing to appre-
hension of trouble in Havana the Amer
lcan cigar manufacturers are rushing over
large supplies of leaf tobacco as rapfdlv
as possible. They believe that an inslr-
rection is likely to break out in Havana
at any moment and that should this oc-
eur the tobacco warehouses would be the
nrst TO De put to the torch, as the insur-
gents would thus cripple the government
by destroying a source of revenue

WHY PEOPLE DON'T GO TO CHURCH.
Rev. Chas. II. Strong Tells why 1t is
Unpopular with the Masses.

Rev. Charles H. Strong of ST. Johns
church preached an interesting sermon
last night on THE Alienation of The
Masses from the Church-the Fact, the
Cause and the Significance of It."
There Is a growing gulf, he said. be-
tween the masses of the people gener-
ally and attendance upon the house of
God. Not half of the people in America
to-day are regular attendants upon
Out of a list of forty towns. he said.
only A per cent of the population pro-
fessed to attend church at all. In fact,
he stated, only about 30 per cent of the
people of the United States are regular
attendants on church, while about 20 per
cent profess to attend church. but only
now ard then That is 10 say, Rev. Mr.
Strong said, out of a population of about
65,OOOOO0 people only about 30000O00 ever
attend church at all. In the country
he said, it was the farming people who
are too tired to so on Sunday, and in
the city the laboring people. You find
the lawyers and the business men, and
occasionally a doctor attending church.
he said, but the laboring people are not
there.
The trouble is the children are not
brought up to it like their parents and
their grandparents were before them Then
again. life is becoming more complicated,
and there is produced a Sunday lassitude
which permits an easy violation of the
sacred uuIN OF CnufCn attendance. PeO-
pie somehow or other are tired on Sunday
though they are not tired on Tuesday or
Wednesday.
The church now enters too into CONNIE
tition with the magazine and the Sunday
newspaper, he said. The Sunday newspa-
per he described as a little microcosm
which comprises art, history, science and
comprises and touches a little of all of
human life. He spoke too, of the care that
a rector has in looking after all the mem
hers of his parish and then of th$antipa-
thy that often exists on the part of many
members of a church. In this connection
he mentioned several incidents, one being
that of church which wanted to look af-
ter and reform drunkard worth $780,
COO but which refused to take in a poor
man who was a reformed drunkard He
spoke of the feeling of the laboring man
in many instances that the church is for
the rich and not for the poor. That he
said is not in accordance with the spirit
of the gospel of Christ. The gospel of per-
sonal salvation. he said, is only half of the
gospel. The gospel should teach human
brotherhood and then the church viii be
thronged with the poor and the humble
Half of the people he said, are not under
Christian influence. and if the country is
to be governed by them, 1t may be readily
seen where we are drifting. If some one
would try and succeed in winning the
masses to the church, then he said. the
