their origin to imperfect digestion and
nutrition.

THE WATER WORKS.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir.-It has occurred to me, as well
as to other taxpayers and citizens, that
the Water Board might so arrange
matters as to save the $75, 600 proposed
to be expended for a new 10000, 900
gallon per diem pump at the city
pumping station. The old works,
which was equal to all demands for
good many years, IS still intact, and [
am told man is kept there day and
night, to keep the machinery in order.
Why cannot this plant be kept in such
condition that it could be put to work,
at say twelve or tWenty-four hours
notice, and thus meet any emergency
oCcaSiOned by breakage at the upper
plant? If this can be done, md anu
told it is a reasonable suggestion, the
$4,000 proposed to be expended could
be saved to the water consumers, and
the way would be paved for reduction
in water rates, which are 800 high in
Wheeling, and higher than the City Of
Charleston, for instance, pays to a pri-
vate company. With reasonable eco
nomy water rents here in WheNling
might be reduced ten or twenty per
cent, and the result would be large
saving to the whole people. To ask
for such a large addition to the pump
ing plant so soon after its completion,
is a confession that the job was bun
gled in the first place, just as was the
case with the new reservoir. That is
a monument to incompetency. les To-
cation was all wrong to start with, it
is not half large enough, and it
would not hold water, even after dou-
bic the amount originally contemplated
had been spent on it. The works ap-
pear to have been planned and built
in the same short-sighted manner,
There should have been Two Is, eco 900
gallon pumps pat in at the beginning.
for a city which uses a maximum of
11,G00,0 00 per day in the ordinary
course Of events. If 1900, 600 gal
lon pump is now authorized it will
only be few years until 1t will be in
order to tear out the present
pumps and put in a new 15,000,C COO in
their stead; then will come new re-
servoir, then force of mains, and
so on.
What the people want is proper
ideas, economy and a reduction in
water rates and taxes, in times like
these. Increased expenditures and the
piling up of blunder upon blunder
meets with little popular favor.

Prosper Merrimen has given to the
world a veritable classic. There is
nothing else just like it. Dealing, as
it does with Spanish Gypsy and peas

gerald splendid opportunity for the
display of her charms and her talents.
The comedy, the scene of which is
laid at Brighton, the English watering
place, is a clever piece of work found
ed on the troubles of the Founding,
a young man who is twenty-five years
in finding his father and mother in
order that he may marry the woman
of his choice. There are numerous
by-plots and all kinds of mix-ups and
the play abounds amusing situations
and bright, witty dialogue. The farce
