WHY, YES! THE CITY
Ought to Donate Sufficient Water to Sprin.
kle the Streets if the Merchants Pay
the Expense Of Putting 1t On.

The city council held u special meet
ing last evening to discuss the street
sprinkling question, the mayor and all
members Of the council being present
except Messrs. Schmidt and Farley. 1t
developed, however, that a majority OF
those present were averse to furnishing
the sprinkler with water from the city
works free Of cost, provided the business
men paid the expense of the sprinkler
| otherwise. Those who argued for NUM-
pal economy IN this case claimed that it
would cost about ten dollars per month
extra waterworks expense to supply the
water and that this ought to be borne
by the merchants or business men who
we're getting the benefit Of it. We
think those who take this view fail to
comprehend the whole situation. While
the business men may be directly bene-
fitted by the %sprinkling Of the streets in
the better preservation Of their stocks,
this does not affect the comfort OF the
general public aud the merchants pay
for their direct benefit in paying the ex-
| pepse of the sprinkler. When it comes
to the matter of water supply the mer
chants also pay for a part OF that in
their general tax for the expense OF the
waterworks system above earnings just
as every other taxpayer OF the city does.
The city, however, W. a large meas
ure Of obligation to taxpayers Of the city
who are paying for the cost Of the
| waterwork above earnings, and who
cannot avail themselves. except at a cost
beyond their means, OF the benefit Of
them in any other way than by what
little comfort they get out OF sprinkled
and clearly streets IN hot or windy
weather. The gain to a storekeeper
from watered streets IS lot of Hs much
concern to the average taxpayer as the
gain and comfort to himself, wife and
children when they come down town on
a hot or windy day. They are certainly
entitled to a little share in the use Of
the city water, and il this is the only
way they get it, or a get it, QUE city
council is certainly running a close cor
poration OF p%rscticing mistaken econo-
my in denying them the use of water for
street sprinkling purposes. Again, our
city owes a duty to the general or visit
ing public in keeping clearly streets
that would rebound to our e%nterprising
name and good report abroad, and for
the paltry sum Of ten dollars n less a
month could we'll afford to give water
free to sprinkle the streets. Most cities
pay the expense Of the sprinkler, also.
But here all that is asked is the W, ter.
We believe hat when the aldermen
come to reconsider this in full meeting
they will conclude to donate the tax
payers enough water to keep the streets
clean.

THE LATEST TRILBY GOWN.
AN ECRU SATIN BROCADED IN WHITE
WITH A DESIGN OF OSTRICH
FEATHERS.
TO BE WORN BY ADELAIDE HERMANN FOR
THE FIRST TINE NEXT THURSDAY
NIGHT-EXQUIsITE HANDI-
WORK.

The accompanying sketch illustrates Nine Ade-
aide IIerrmann's Trilby gown in which she APP
pears for the first time on Thursday night. and
which will be even more admired than the one
she formerly wore IN that character 1t is not
beautiful than the other. but is thought to be
rather more effective on the stage. Its exquisite
simplicity adds to the latter quality. for there are
not lot OF details to confuse the eye and none are
lost on the distant observer. At the same time the
workmanship IL so perfect that it will bear the
closest inspection and the wrong" side q
the embroidered satin Is beautiful. The gown would
be quite as suitable for the drawing room as for
the stage.
The material Is pale satin brocaded In
white in design Of ostrich feathers. with fernlike
sprays between. but the figures are entirely over
laid with gold and silver embroidery. The feathers
done in silver braid with lines Of overlapping
silver paettes. defining the stem and accentI-
atng the curves while little strings of crystal beads
are introduced here and there between The sprays
which cluster around each feather done in fine
gold thread the leaves being outlined with mingled
red, gold and blue. and have the appearance of
being fastened down at intervals with clusters Of
Jewels emeralds, opals. topazes and diamonds
Intermingled with the jewels and reproducing their
coors are little clusters OF paiettes standing on
their edges and separated by beads that sometimes
match the palette and sometimes gold or crys-
tai The space between the figures is filed with
beads OF mingled gold and crystal. placed at regular
intervals from each other.
THE PEACOCK TRAIN.
The train is Of plain satin, and is also embroidered
In gold silver and Jewels. There is one large de-
sign which entirely fills IT, and best be de-
scribed a conventionalized peacock's feather
The stem which is about an inch wide. starts from
the middle OF the back, where the train Is fastened
