AUTOMATIC SpRINKLERs
Platt Bros Refuse to Pay Assessment
 Charged Against Them.


 The Platt Bros, button man1lfactur- CTS on Brown street, have notihed MT Thoms that they have used no water in their sprinklers the past six months and that they do not intend to pay the S10 charged against them. This IS fe- garded as a rather peculiar move. The company has had sprinklers at the tac- tory since 1886 and paid considerably more for them at that time than the present price. They never objected to settling before and they have not asked to be released from the contract which they entered into with the city when the system was first installed at their plant. The other concerns are paying their automatic sprinkler bills as usual. The only explanation that can be given of the company's refusal to pay is that they. have decided to discard the use of the sprinklers, but even so. they are liable for the regular water rates until they notify the city that they do not want the water any longer. A mem- Der of the water department said to- day that it was up to Mir Thoms to col feet the bill and that the water depart ment was competent to deal with the other end of the question. He said that if the company didn't want that connection under the same rates as are charged to others it had perfect right to say so, but he thought that the firm was bound to pay up to the. time they notified the department. So far as he knew there would be no trouble over the matter, except what might occur between the collector and the company. The Platt Bros, he said. will be treat ed the same as any other concern or private individual would be under sim liar circumstances. The connection will be cut off when the time limit for the payment of the bill expires. He also stated that some of the water con- sumers have provided themselves with artesian wells from which they pump water into elevated tanks. which can be used to good advantage in case of fire.
 At the present time there is big de mand for city water in all parts of the town, so that if manufacturers and others cannot afford to pay anything for the service the city can dispose of 1t to good advantage to people who are clamoring for it and are willing to come down with the dust. It looks now as if the city made a mistake in nguring upon furnishing a high press ure- It added about S15O,OOO to the cost of the Wigwam reservoir and was done solely for the benefit of the man. ufacturers and with the understandine that they would pay small sum for automatic heads. They started off at a reasonable figure. but they got if Whitfield down to $5 a hundred. Now some of them have become so bold they don't want to pay anything. The cry With private individuals is that thelr water rents are exorbitant be cause the manufacturing concerns are not paying enough, and yet the man. agers or some of the factories contend that the rents are too high.

Dante and Savonaroin.
A close friend Of George Eliots,
writing of her personal appearance,
said:
"She was not. as the world in gen

personable woman. Her face was
long: the eyes not large or beautiful

old fashioned braids, coming low down

light brown. II was streaked with
gray when last saw her. Her figure
was Of middle height, large boned and
powerful. Lewes often said that she
inherited from her peasant ancestors

very robust. Her head was finely
formed. with noble and well bal

lips and mouth possessed a power Of
infinitely varied expression.

You ThouEht You Knew Its Many

The comprehensive merits Of the
hairpln are known to all observant
men. Its special value in surgery is
asserted by n writer in American Med

almost anything with n hairpin. He
can wire bones with it, probe and close
wounds, pin bandagcs, compress blood
vessels. Use it 'to remove foreign bod
Is from any natural passage" and "as

terial.r And no doubt the women
doctors can 90 a great deal more with
that most gifted and versatile Of hu-
man implements. Anthropologists have
never done justice to the hairpin. 1t
keeps civilization together. In the
hands Of girls entirely great it is much
mightier than the sword or. for that
matter. the plow. What Is the plOw
but a development Of the forked stick,

was any necessity n woman could

or play in which something may not
be accomplished by means Of il.

aren't so inventive as men; don't take
out so many patents. They don't have
