Cuyahoga Falls, June 29.--Thc Coun-
Gil meeting convened late last night

cox and Oakley present. The pay or
dlnancc was passed.
Among the bills was one presented
by VIM. Robinson. the Civil Engineer.
His bill for work ON Front St, Second
ST.. and water works system was x26I.
The bill was o. K.'d by Mr.. Oakley,
the only member of the committee
present. Solicitor Orlando Wilcox
said:
IL have seen letters written by Rob-
inson that convince me he is fraud
from the ground up" Mr.. Oakley
claimed that Robinson was legally
hired and should he paid, since he has
done the work. Solicitor Wilcox said
the work had to be done over again
and that the bill should not have been
put in the pay ordinance. There was
no money in the funds, from which
the money would come, when he was
hired and therefore he was employed
illegally. Mr.. Wilcox further said:
"He never earned dollar of 1t and
should not be paid. He has written
| letters that would almost send him to
the penitentiary. | know where these
letters are. l know where he has
written letters to Councilmen offering
them n per cent of the bills II they
will get them through the Council, lie
realizes his bills are not worth cent,
and Is afraid to come here to collect
them. He is "a fraud"

st. work was allowed.

neer's bill in. That of G. NJ. Derrick

Indeed, whenever the least apology

he should always raise his hat when

to her sex when woman enters an
elevator, and remain uncovered during
her stay therein He should also raise
his hat upon recognizing an acQuaint

WHERE THE OLD CARS GO.
Many Uses to Which the Cast-Offs OF
City Lines Are Put.

On all metropolitan street railways
new cars are constantly appearing,
and the question naturally suggests
itself Where do the old cars gof
street railway man of long experience
answered this question for Sun
reporter the other day.
1--WE sell a number of our old cars
he said, ito other cities, where, after
they are painted and otherwise refur-
nished, they are used as trailers on
electric roads during periods of intia-
ted traffic. They are merely hitched
behind the motor cars, and answer
the purpose to which they are put very
we'll. However, the demand for horse
cars is slight and 1t is sometimes u
problem to dispose of old electric cars
to advantage.
Now and then we sell an old car
to someone living in the country, who
wishes to convert the vehicle into
PLAYHOUSE for children. 1t answers
this purpose very well, for cars are
invariably well made and will stand
hard weather and the severe use
which children are liable to give any
thing they come in contact with.
"In the agricultural districts beyond
the city proper you can find scores Of
old cars which have been converted
into chicken houses by the vegetable
gardeners, who are always on the
lookout for bargains in these cast
off vehicles. They remove the glass
windows, board up the sides and thus
make the finest possible kind of q
chicken house. Hundreds of old cars
are doing duty as soda water and
peanut stands in various parts of the
country. Cars which saw service
thirty years ago are now in use as
waiting cars, where passengers can
linger while awaiting transportation
to other parts. A few such are to be
found in Manhatta !, but most Of them
are in New Jersey IN. Y. Sun.

NEVER DRINK WATER.
Horses and Cattle That Stake Thelr
Thirst on a Peculiar Grass.

iHrSt on PECULIAR NTaoSs
The proverbial horse which can be
led to water, but which cannot be
made to drink, exists in great mum.
bers In the Hawaiian islands. Among
the cattle he has thousands Ut cousins
of the same proclivities.
1t ia surprising statement to mako,
and yet one that is literally true, and
SO commonplace that no one there
thinks anything about 1t, that there
are hundreds Of horses and thousands
of cattle which never take a drink OF
water throughout tho whole course Of
their lives.
On all the islands the upper alti.
tudes Of the mountains are given up
to cattle ranges. The cattle run
wild from the time they are born I'M
til they are rounded up to be sent to
the slaughterhouse. Except during pos
sibly two or three months of the rainy
season, there are no streams or pools
Of water in any part where the cattle
range.
But everywhere there grows re-
cumbent jointed grass, known by the
native name of MAMMA. This Is both
food and drink. Horses and cattle
grazing on it neither require water,
nor will they drink it when offered.
Our first experience with this fact
was on a trip to Haleakala. A party
was mounted on horses which has Just
been brought in from the range. The
Journey they made was fourteen miles,
in which distance they assembled about
5000 feet.
The party started in the afternoon.
and about sunset halted for supper.
They thought 1t strange that the
horses should leave feed Of grain to
nibble the scanty grass which grew
near by, but were willing to trust
their instinct in the matter.
However before starting, they in
sisted that they be given water. The
native guide demurred in this, saying
they didn't need it, but with the good
natured complaisance Of his race.
yielded to requests, and led detour
of about mile, which brought the
party to a ranch house where there
was a well. But, to the utter amaze
ment and stupefaction Of the travellers,
the horses would not drink.
They took it as another case Of In
stinct, and assumed that the water.
for some reason, was not good, and so
refrained from drinking it themselves.
1t was not until the return the second
day, to Kawaapae, that the travellers
learned the secret Of the wonderful
MAMMA grass.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
