''The queer child people are about

have tribal marks that sometimes cover

Queer Things Which Marked the Life
Of George II. Hopper.


George II. Hopper, who died on his
Elmwood estate, near Cleveland, Ohio,
began life as a timer, and made him
self Immensely rich through contract
for furnishing tin cans to the Standard
OIL Company. About ten years ago Mr..
Hopper purchased EImwood farm, near
Cleveland, and started In to lead the
life of a gentleman farmer. Many
amusing stories are told Of him in this
connection. He decided to turn it into
stock farm. The first thing he did
was to purchase Bell Boy, stallion,
for S5l, 600. Six months later Bell Boy
and the stables were burned. Mr.. Hop
per became disgusted with the idea OF
raising stock and gave 1t up.
He was seized with the idea at one
time that It was the proper thing for
gentleman OF elegant leisure to own
yacht. He had one built, and christened
it Florence, In honor of his eldest
daughter. When the yacht was com
pleted It was found to be too big to
enter the creek at the farm, and, there
being no natural harbor at the place,
II had TO be kept at Ashtabula, twelve
miles distant. Hopper hated the yacht
from the day 1t was built. 1t was
launched without ballast, and as 1t
struck the water a big wave hit 1t, and
It capslzed and went to the bottom,
with the crew on board. The yacht
was raised. but Hopper never again put
his foot upon It.
Hopper's whole career as a farmer
was an amusing failure. He owned q
beautiful orchard OF peach trees, and a
friend one day remarked that he would
come down In the peach season and
partake of some.

THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
Suggestion for a Feature Of the
Parade on the Fourth.

The Fourth of July Parade Commit
tee will meet at the Golden Eagle Ho-
tel at / o'clock this afternoon to talk
over matters in connection with the pa
rade on the national holiday.
1t has been suggested that the COM
mittee extend an urgent invitation to
all citizens owning private vehicles
carriages, buggies, etc.-to join in the
procession on the Fourth and to deco
rate their vehicles literally with the
national colors. A little ingenuity and
a good supply Of small flags and bunt-
ing will enable anyone to make his car
riage. buggy, wagon or cart very at
tractive, and a long line of decorated
vehicles would certainly be a very
pretty and inspiring feature of the pa
rade.
This suggestion comes from citizen
who has had long and extensive expert
ence in such matters, and should re-
ceive due consideration, especially since
military display will be lacking in con-
sequence of so many having volunteer
ed in the army.

BUFFALO sBREWERY'S WATER
WHY THE COMPANY ASKS FOR
A REDUCTION.
Six of the Nine Trustees Pay q
Visit to the Companys
Plant.

For some time past the Buffalo Brew
ing Company has been making efforts
to have the Board of City Trustees re-
duce the water rates for its plant at
Twenty-first and Q streets from $50 to
$50 a month.
AS a reason for it's request the COM
pany claims to be using only about one
fourth as much water from the city
mains as it used a year ago, as since
that time three wells, ranging from 40
to 800 feet in depth, have been sunk
and the water SO secured is used for
all purposes except brewing.
On the other hand, some of the City
Trustees are known to be in favor
of increasing the company's water
rates from $50 to S75 a month, contend
ing that other business interests in the
city pay much more proportionately for
water.
Numerous complaints have come in
from citizens residing on Sutter Ter
race, south and east Of the companys
plant-and who receive their supply
from the main that supplies the brew
ery-that when the latter is using wa
ter there is not enough to be had in
the dwellings for domestic purposes.
In answer to an invitation from the
brewery people, Trustees Mckay, De-
vine, Dolan, Douglas, Paine and Teb-
bets, together with City Engineer Wolf,
City Collector Robinson, Water Inspec-
tor Hamilton and Clerk Desmond of
the Board of Trustees, yesterday Wis
tied the brewery and personally in
spected it's water system.
The city officials were first ushered
into the Directors room, where refresh
ments, both liquid and solid, were Law
ishly served, after which the party, un-
der the chaperonage of Captain Sey-
mour, visited the several departments
Of the big plant. Captain Seymour ex-
planned the system Of pipes from the
well pumps, and stated that not drop
Of water from the city mains was used
in the plant, except for brewing pur-
poses. The water in the malt building,
in the bottling department and in ev-
cry other section, except the brewing
watts is we'll water, and it is not intend
ed to bring the city mains into use ex-
cept in case of fire.
Some of the Trustees thought that
with no more of the city's water than
that used the plant ought to get along
with a three-inch pipe, instead of an
eight-inch one, and it Is intimated that
with such an arrangement the people
of Sutter Terrace and the adjoining
community would not be subjected to a
water famine whenever the brewing
company uses water from the mains.
Throughout the visit the Trustees, as
body, gave no indication as to what
action will be taken in the matter Of
rates.
