Senator Plumb he at once determined
that there should be water for all who
wished it. The senator went to work,
introduced a bill, but this was lost in
committee and after repeated efforts.
lasting nearly two years, he managed
to get it in as an amendment to an ap-
preparation BILL with himself as one of
the conferees. He was appealed to give
up the effort, but announced that he
would defeat the whole bill unless the
amendment for coolers stuck. That
settled it, and during the next recess
the coolers were placed in the walls.
The water is kept cool by going through
a coil of pipes through and around the
storeroom in the basement of the build

BOOK NOTES.
Various Items About Books Which
Are Attracting Attention.


The annual art offering of the LifesPub-
fishing company is The Social Comedy.

The popularity of THE Visits of Eliza
BETH insures a welcome to a new novel
by the same author. The charms of these
new "Refiections''-their wit, humor, and,
above ALL their bright, keen observation
abundantly fulfill the promise of the au-
thor's former work. 1t is the story of
young girl who soon marries, and is told
by herself She is a little aristocrat who,
at the command of her proud but impov-
eriShed grandmother, aries a rich vul-
garian. Ambrosine trains herself to ODE
dience and pluck by allowing a caterpillar
to creep over her arm. The character OF
Lady Tilchester' is said to be drawn
from that of a celebrated woman of title,
full women in London. The story concerns
itself largely with fashionable English
people in country houses, people who de-
clare that their position in society releases
them to a certain extent from the claims
of convcntionality. Ambrosine's unsophis-
ticated observations upon these people are
extremely diverting. The book is PUBLISH
ed by Harper & Brothers.
