ATTACK VALIDITY OF ACT.

Chicago City Council and $4o,0o0,000
Drainage Canal.
Chicago, Oct. 3.-Chicago's city
council is preparing to attack the va.
lidity of the act creating Chicago's
$40,000,000 drainage canal The fl.
nance committee OF the council has for
mally advised Corporation Tolman
to bring an action in the supreme
court Of the state next week A
threatened depletion Of the city's wa
ter fund with possible deficit is the
strongest force behind the aldermen,
although Cicero was added to the
sanitary district.
BY the provisions of that act, Chica-
go will be required to furnish the res
idents of Cicero water at cents per
1000 gallons, while it's own citizens pay
10 cents. The aldermen say it would
mean the expenditure of $3.50, 900 to ex-
tend the mains. It is said other coun-
ty towns could demand the same CON
oessions awarded Cicero. This the al
dermen say would be ruinous.

supposed to reach their height, comes "St.
Distaff's day." when women returned to
their interrupted tasks of spinning-and the
following Plough Monday" when the men
once more took up their out of doors work.
This gave the men several days leeway,

the Red Sea fully lived up to it's reputation
Tor heat, and We painted all day, lost our
appetites, and only felt life worth living
during the evening, although at that time
the hot breeze of the day became too strong
q wind to make the deck an agreeable abid-
Ing place
The usual concert took place during the
voyage, and the usual two dances, one a
fancy dress ball. The Arabian sea proved
even hotter than the Red Sea- and almost
every one had his or her mattress taken
on deck at night, so that every night the
deck became huge sleeping room. AS we
could never bring ourselves to that, we
sweltered In our cabins, and actually suf-
Tered during the one or two nights on
which the wind became too obstreperous to
allow of having the ports open. From a

are badly arranged, as all Of the cabins on
the uppermost deck, cabins for two people
only, are reserved entirely for men, so the
lordly beings slept in comfort, while we
poor creatures of the other sex were stew
ing sfeeplessly down in a cabin below. At
length, after twenty-one days of a voyage
which can only be looked back upon as
fairly interesting, and which made for us
many interesting acquaintances and a few
friends, we got up early on the morning of
the twenty-hrst day to see the approach to
Bombay harbor which Is said to be one of
the finest In the world. 1t Is certainly In
teresting, although 1t does not in any way
equal the harbor of San Francisco. think,
nor of Genoa. The hills surround 1t, and it
is full or Islands, chief among which is
small island on which for years lived
celebrated pirate. The hills are all flat-top-
ped, and have the appearance of having
been sliced off evenly by some Titan with
a giant knife. Bombay itself from the dis
lance showed a fine waterfront and goodly
pile Of well-built modern buildings. Owing
to influential friends, we were among the
first to land, and we set foot on the land
of India on lovely morning early enough
to allow of It's being COOL and drove to the
hotel with the feeling that it was really
going to fulfill all our many dreams Of it.
