FOR A new TRIAL
THE WATER COMPANY BEGINS
PROCEEDINGS
a BILL OF EXCEPTIONS
Served Yesterday on the Attorneys for
the City-A Document Of Colossal
s.e Proportions

1t Is now believed that the City water
company will not appeal at once from the
orders Of Judge Oster, but will attempt 10
secure new trial.
Yesterday the company served on the at
torneys of the city bill of exceptions TO
the opinion, numbering over 500 typewrit-
ten pages. This is the first proceeding IN
the commencement of a motion for new
trial. The city has ten days to answer the
exceptions before proceedings are COM
menced in court.
The attorneys of the water company re-
fused to state whether or not they had de-
cided 10 avail themselves of the stay Of
execution in. the matter of the receivership,
but it is believed that they will not do SO
unless the injunction against them can be
in some way modified so as TO permit the
collection of water rates. A provision or
stipulation by which the rentals would be
collected by somebody and loss thus pre-
venred would probably lead the company
to appeal TO the supreme court before an
attempt is made to get the matter once
more before the superior court.

What Queens Play mt.

Queen Victoria, whose especial hob
by is music, has educated her daught-
ers to be useful as well as accomplish
ed women, and they may all be said to
be efficient and artistic. The Queen
herself likes to study Hindostanee and
to see her favorite dogs and ponies.
The Empress Elizabeth Of Austria,
is an accomplished horsewoman. She
also delights in her fame as a pastry
cook and her daughter, the Archduch-
ess Valerie, is proud Of her accomplish
ments in the methods of ancient and
modern cuisine.
The Queen Of the Belgians is a clever
nurse and good doctor, having not
only studied medicine, but having fire.
quently applied her knowledge in en-
ergencies. The Queen of Greece is at
the head of an association of women
whose object is the moral regeneration
of criminals.
The Queen Of Portugal Is more friv-
olous, having the reputation Of being
the "most dressy" lady in Europe. Her
pale complexion and her auburn hair
permit any colors, and she often ap-
pears in astonishing costumes. The
Princess Waldemar, Of Denmark, ranks
among the most fashionable of royal
ladies.
