TIE WATER oRnINANcE.

We now have an ordinance to prevent
the waste of water. The next thing is to
see to 1t that II is enforced. Ii might as
well not have been passed If it is TO be
permitted to become "a dead letter. Those
who are made responsible for seeing that
the ordinance is compiled with should he
held to strict accountability. and that
cannot be done unless the heads of the de-
partmeuts having Jurisdiction of the in
spectors are on the watch to see that
the inspectors do their duty faithfully and
conscienuously. If 1t is to be left, like
the ordinance against trampling on the
grass to take care of itself, the waste
will go on, but If the ordinance is vigor-
ously and intelligently enforced there will
be a very great falling off in the amount
of water that will have to be pumped TO
fully supply the city. Before any new
wells are dug the new ordinance should be
given a far trial.
We have already called attention to the
fact that a great deal of water is wasted
because of leaking faucets In the man
holes, or because these faucets are care
lessly left open. Some of the street gangs
engaged In repairing the streets leave the
faucets of the water plugs open day and
night Some of the water plugs are In
leaky condition. but the greatest sources
of waste are the open pan closets and the
carelessness of the people in leaving open
all the faucets on their premises pretty
much all the time. Let the inspection be
rigid and continuous, and II will not be
long before the decline in the demand for
wafer will be very noticeable.

Several Moiitanians have been guests Of
the Imperial Hotel for the last few days
and they all knew United States Senator
William A. Clark when he worked in the
mines about Butte, clad In a red shirt,
says the New York Herald. They are all
proud of the senator, who has made a
reputation as an art connoisseur by his
recent purchase of a $4,000 oil painting
and by the prospectus of the new palace
which he is about to erect on upper Fifth
avenue near the Museum of Art.
by the way" said one of the wealthy
miners while in the lobby the other
night, do you know that Clark used TO be
a pretty stiff poker player in mis- day, and
he is yet, as far as l know. He was in
that little game in Butte which has since
become famous all over the country.
Haven't heard of it? Well, it's old, but
it's good.
We'll, as was a-saying. Clark used to
sit in the little game in the Silver Bow
Club, up in Granite street. He generally
played with Marcus Daily, Haggin, Hearst
or some one of those big fellows, and
they enjoyed themselves. On one occasion
a New York drummer dropped into the
club while the game was on. He had a
card with two weeks run on the club.
Well, he see DAILY, Haggin. Clark and an
other fellow sitting in the game, and he
sashays up, pertlike, n says:
Well, gentlemen, any objection TO my
taking hand?
" No. says the players, cheerful Ike,
m then this drummer he pulls out a thick
roll and peels off a hundred-dollar bill and
chucks it on the table. Gimme chips for
that says he, and looks around, pulled
up like He goes m hangs up his coat, n
when he comes back N sits down there
lays that bill.
" What's the matter, gentlemen? he
says, huffy like. =" Amt my money good p
Why, yes, to be sure says Marcus
Daily, Clark, give the gentleman one
white chip
"Well, that gentleman from the effete
East he nearly drops dead; he does, m he
goes out to get some of the mounting air.
Yes, the senator's a good one"

A Dog md a Tortoise.

Last summer" says an English writer
"a friend presented us with a tortoise. I
do not know whether our dog had heard of
turtle soup or whether he regarded the

A Birds Revenge.

Robert Crawford tells this story In South
American Sketches: "a pavo del monte,
a bird of Uruguay not unlike the turkey.
had been winged by a hunter. 1t fell to
the ground. but was at once on its feet,
and ran away. Throwing his gun hastily
aside the hunter started in pursuit, and
a game of hide-and-seek ensued. In and
out of the brushwood the pavo ran, and the
man followed. In one of it's doublings and
turnings the bird passed over the gun,
which was lying on the ground, and its foot
CHANGED to strike against the trigger of
the undischarged barrel, the hammer of
which, in the hurry of the moment, had
been left at full cock. There was a loud
report followed by an exclamation Of pain
from the man. The bird escaped, and the
luckless hunter had an ugly wound in the
fleshy part Of his leg to remind him for
weeks afterward of the adventure"

The travelling statesmen of Chicago have
awakened to the fact that the formation
OF trusts hits their class frequently and
hard. With the consolidation of interests.
they say fewer statesmen are needed. and
with an increased supply from which to
draw those that are needed the pay rate
is hammered down. An antitrust organ
ization of drummers was formed In Chi
cago the other day TO fight trusts and cuts
in salaries. 1t is proposed that similar
organizations shall be formed all over the
country.

THE CoGHLAN INCIDENT.

Germany has about come 90 the conclu-
sion not 10 make a mountain out of the
Coghlan incident-the account that Capt.
Coghlan, of the Raleigh, gave at ban
quet in New York of the way Admiral
Dewey brought the German admiral 90
terms at Maintain view of the fact the
state department expressed regret that
ANYTHING should have been said by one
of our naval officers that could be con-
strued by Germany as offensive. II is
lust as well probably that Germany de-
clded to take that course, because if she
had determined to pursue the incident fur
Their bad feeling would have been stirred
I'D. both in this country and Germany.
There are always those who take pleasure
in stirring up trouble, and these trouble
makers would have been delighted at an
opportunity to arouse in-feeling between
the two countries.
Il is safe to say that Capt. Coghlan had
no intention OF saying anything for the
purpose of offending Germany. His pur-
pose was simply to show the sort of
man Admiral Dewey Is, and he related
the incident with the German admiral at
Manila because it presented in a striking
| way some of the characteristics of the ad-
miral. Had he been thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the efforts the government is max
ing to settle peaceably the Samoan af-
fair he would have been more guarded, In
all probability. in his remarks.
1t is said the German government was
at first inclined to demand that Capt.
Coghlan should be punished in some way
for his utterances. which were thought
| to be not only disrespectful, but even in
sulting to Germany, but that course might
have led to complications in the present
temper of the people. Besides, it was
made clear that he had no intention of
showing a lack of respect for Germany
or the German Emperor.
Germany seems satisfied now. and the
| incident may be regarded as closed. Little
things like that, however, have led to Sc
rious complications. Capt. Coghlan will,
of course, tell of the incidents in Manila
| bay many times again. but it is probable
| he will take care that his sketches of
men and events connected with the Phil
| ipplne war do not reach the public prints.

Love and Death.

From Harper's Magazine.
Two, from the flights of Quiet,
Come, one day, to men;
Two, Love and Death, come hithel
Come once, and not again.
1 turned, looked every whittier,
Nothing could see;
But as che High God liveth,
One came from Him to me.
She came with touch and odor
OF a summer breath;
Came as shall come the other,
The second angel, Death.
Swiftly my soul unfolded,
Flashed, and reached awide;
1t drank the pouring glory
OF heavens summertide.
I reckon not the seasons,
The years that fall and flow;
Life filed her cup and spilled it,
That hour long, long ago.
Since, none has met me seeking
Up and down the ways;
Love comes no more forever
In all the coming days;
And, surely he shall find me,
Whether I rest or roam,
The other-kindly ANGEL
Come to take me home.

remarkable military inventions which are

them is field gun which has not only
great range and rapidity of fire, but is
said to cause no smoke, no flash and no
report, being practically noiseless. The
other is a repeating rifle for which supe-

nothing to say that these two inventions
will claim more real interest from the
Powers than the peace conference which
is shortly to sit at The Hague.

CURRENT COMMENT,

Respecting the Newman lynching the
Charleston News and Courier (Dem) saws;
1--WE have but one comment to make here
on the horrible affair, and we confine our
selves to that one because Ii appears to us
to be most pertinent one for US to make
and the ultimate one to be made in view
of the long and ever growing record of such
crimes in our country-differing only in
circumstances. place and degree. 1t is that.
as this crime, like the crime which led 10
1t, and an related crimes in our country.
are certainly and directly traceable to ra-
cial antagonisms, bred and promoted by the
intermixture of two diverse, UNEQUAL and
unassimitable orders of men in the same
territory, the wisest and only sure plan
to prevent them and to end the intolerable
conditions, of which they are the symp-
toms only, and so to redeem the superior
race itself from lapsing into practical bar
barism, lies in the separation of the two
races, by the physical barriers of land and
sea, as they are, and must always remain.
separated by the barriers that nature has
placed between them We are paying too
much-the white people of the country, and
the South especially-for the Cheap labor
of the negro, when we pay for 1t by the
sacrifice of our own civilization, and the
surrender of religion, morals and humanity

The Chattanooga Times Dem), com
menting on the lynching Of Sam Hose.
says: Newman is a substantial city, the
seat of a successful institution of learning
and the center of a rich and prosperous
section. IL is true that the crime for which
this negro was tortured was unspeakable.
but the punishment. melted out to him is
a blot on civilization and would disgrace a
band Of bloodthirsty savages. Burning at
the stake In this Christian nation, in one
of the thirteen original states of the great
