THE RESERVOIR QUESTION.

The reservoir question came up again
for discussion in the City Council on
Thursday evening. There appeared to
be complete unanimity among the men,
bers present as to the site for the resef-
yolr in Parley's canyon But there was
a decided difference Of opinion as to
the conduct OF the necessary work. A
motion finally prevailed that the matter
be laid over for one week, and a conS
mittee of five was appointed to invite
leading citizens, including the editors OF
the city papers members OF the Com
mercial club and others interested In
the subject to attend next Thursday
evening, June rs.

very great Importance, and some de.
csion in relation to It should be reach

there is a disposition on the part Of
some people to shuttle this matter along,

by the present council, and that this
failure may be used for election purpos-
es in November We view the bonding
proposition as Of very doubtful success
We know that the majority Of Gus cit
liens look with dsfayor on any plan to
increase the municipal debt If any
thing practicable can be suggested TO
obviate the necessity OF Ringing the
matter on the dubious plan Of calling a

sidered, before action is taken.

erations ought not 20 be permitted TO

A NEW WONDER.

A congress OF chemists was held few
days ago at Berlin. one Of the wonders
exhibited there was the new metal
called polonmm, which has been noticed
N these columns, and seems TO be no
less mysterious than the recently dis
covered radium. One OF the German
scientists exhibited In a darkened room

A WARNING TO GIRLS.

An incident that occurred on the Ore.
gon Short Line on Wednesday, has
been brought to our attention by an
observing friend who il thoroughly re-
liable, that is worthy the attention Of
.he police OF this city and others inter.

On the train going north. among the
passengers was a woman OF medium
height about 45 years old with gold
filled teeth, dressed in black silk and
exhibiting in her manner signs OF her
calling, having in charge young girl,
uncommonly tall, about % years OF age,
Of light complexion and pallid face UNI

control OF the older woman. She wore

n pink waist and a grey or drab skirt,
short enough to show her shoes. We
give these particulars that they might
perhaps draw the attention OF some OF
her friends
The girl came from Denver, so Il was
learned, but was picked up by the older
person In Salt Lake city ana engaged
for service In st. Anthony. Inquiries
on Friday developed the fact that the
woman having her in tow ls the keeper
OF notorious house at st, Anthony,
and 1t is evident that she was plying
the trade Of procuress. II was with
great difficulty that any conversation
could be had with the girl, as she was
under close surveillance. Information
was given to the sheriff on her arrival,
and perhaps something may be done to
save her from the fate in store II she
IS trapped IN the den to which she was
taken.
Young women should be warned

THE NAVY PREFERRED.

General John II, Wilson advises
young men who are ambitious for a
military on naval career TO choose the
navy by all means. Addressing the
graduating class OF the Wilmington
Military Academy the other day he
said N anybody here can get an APP
rolntment TO either OF the national
academies he should take It without
hesitation, but II he Is allowed choice,
In my deliberate Judgment. he should
take the Naval Academy for the OBJ
yious reason that. while 1t offers no adj
vantage over the Military Academy In
point OF education, the naval service
holds out greater inducements and
more certain rewards for merit than
the military service. II Is more than
probable that Tor the next half century
az least the naval officers win have
more chances Tor distinction and glory
than the army officials; and. besides, Il
Is perfectly certain that In that service
no doctor Of medicine, however dlstln-
guished. will ever be jumped over the
heads Of either the captains or the ad.
mlrals II Is perfectly certain also.
that whatever may be done In the army,
no outslder-yolunteer or mere political
leader--wlll ever be put in command OF
an American battleshlp or fleet" This
soreness over doctors comes from the

The episode affords a fine Illustration

what Cromwell and his associates did
TO Charles I, although the process was
much more rapid and violent In Seryia
than In England two and a half CEN
turtles ago. The cut-throat method is
now outgrown, happily, In most civil
lied countries. While, In the last
analysis, assassination of rulers for po-
litical objects Is a species OF murder
closely related to war, 1t Is rightly re-
probated In our day, and the govern
ment that Is founded on assassination
carries from the outset a heavy load Of
cdum before the world.
