Water Pressure Again.
The ineff1ciency of water-pressure in
certain parts of the Court House was
called to the attention of the grand
Jury at the beginning of the charge.
AS a result of the courts words a
committee was appointed by the grand
jury, of which Mr.. James M. Dixon
was chairman, to inquire into the con-
dition of the water supply on the top
floor. The committee found the condi-
tions about as represented by the court
and recommended that the County
Commissioners engage a plumber TO
remedy the defects in the plumbing
When this is done they believe the
condition will be relieved. The matter
mas already been taken up by the
county Commissioners. In charging the
jury on this question, the court said:

provement in one respect in this Court

 The revived tailor made dress is most alluring. With it is worn a white lawn tucked shirt with white lawn collar and tie of soft plaid or spotted silk-a fetching combination.
 Bodice and skirts alike combine to give length to the figure, and many of the latter are so cut that they droop a little in the front, which is hidden by the belt. This slopes down to a point in the front. Many of the new serges are trim med on each seam, but have no lining, and drop fringes, gimps and ornaments appear on most costumes. ... Everything we have is trimmed and retrimmed. Simplicity is nowhere, but style has been left to us.

Practical Paying Poetry,
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston TRANSCRIPT
What's the matter with poetry? is fire.
quently enough asked these days. recent
number of the Dial has a long plant, writ
ten from the publishers point of view, by
one Of the younger literary men of this
city. 1t rehearses all the well-known truths
about the depression in the poetic industry;
that poets never wrote SO well and the pub
lie never read so Ill as today; that some
publishing houses print daily volumes of
verse because the poet is willing to pay to
pipe, others because they regard it as a
decorative and highly humanitarian thing
to do, but none because they make any
money out of it; that poetry, an art which,
once made for the ennoblement of all life,
has become the mock of many, the fad of
a very few.
TO qualify, If not to disprove such state
ment of the case of Poetry VS.. the People
we have the eager acceptance of every
panic Whit from Mr. Kiplng's pipe The
publication of his Powers" was cabled
across the Atlantic as an important news
item. The text of the poem stands in every
morning paper. 1t will be made the SUBJ
jeet of editorial homiies for the next ten
days. College lads will be declaiming it all
winter. We shall hear of "the Goth and
the shameless Hun who, while good An
glo-Saxons stood forth, stood fast, praying
to see them drown. until We shall almost
wish that we might forget. that we might
forget Nor will 1t matter that a good deal
of nonsense inhereS in THE Powers" the
public will press eagerly to catch the sense,
and the sound will do the rest.
Mr. Kipling has two great advantages
over the clever versifers whose books do
not sell go copies; he has real power; ex-
ceeding the mere craftsman's command
over his medium; and he has news sense
which prompts him to write of things that
people are intensely interested in. Who
wants to read about Phyllis canary bird
or meianchoioly moonlight on the harbor Of
Valparaiso when the coal bin is empty and
the midnight lamp, with oil at 10 cents the
gallon, is eating off its wick? Such Is the
Kipling question that pauses for a salts
factory reply. Go to. We versifiers Read
your newspapers more carefully and your
public will read you.
