In Justification OF the statement
that the jury was composed OF ignor-
ant men the readers is invited to note
that this man says the prosecution
was satisfied with the verdict because
appeal was taken to- the supreme no no
court. Every citizen intelligent
enough to sit on a jury ows that
the state has no appeal in criminal
cases, the defendant only enjoying
that privilege. Probably this jury
found Tillman not guilty thinking
that II their Judgment was an error
the supreme court would correct it.
This juror tells what he would do If he
was an editor. He does not happen
to be an editor, to the good fortune OF
the newspaper profession. He also
confuses us by referring to the s'An-
nails Of Hi.tory. We have been un-
able to find copy Of that publication,
but have no doubt that this Juror
knows more about history than we do,
SO we will take his word for it. We
print his communication cheerfully
and II 1t will make the public think
any more OF him and his ! | colleagues
they are welcome to the service.

INSPECTED RESERVOIRS.
Board of Public Works Had an Outing
 Yesterday.

Mayor Kilduff City Engineer Cairns, City Sheriff Mcdonald, Super intendent O'Brien and Commissioners Whiting, Mahaney and Scully of the board of public works made tour of inspection Of the sanitary conditions of the East Mountain and Prospect reservoirs yesterday afternoon. The distributing reservoir was first visited and the property adjoining it was sub jectetl to thorough inspection. The stream flowing through the Lounsbury farm into the reservoir was found to be pure and clean. Another brook. flowing down the side of the noun tain, was found in good condition.
 A sixteen-fnch pipe supplies water from the distributing reservoir to the city pipe line below. The water ap- pears to be roily, but Caretaker Me Dermott said this was caused by the recent rains.
 The distributing reservoir, which has a capacity of e0,OO0,OO0 gallons, is 175 feet lower than the East Mountain or ma in reservoir It is believed by the extension of the sixteen-inch pipe line from the distributing reservoir to the feed reservoir a'sufficient pressure
  point in the city.
 The Land of c. s. Sprague, adjoining the feed reservoir. was also visited. The condition of the barnyard and brook on this property has been the subject of much talk. The board was of the opinion that the conditions here were not so bad as they were painted.
 The board also visited the Prospect reservoir, which is connected with the distributing reservoir with a twelve inch pipe. This reservoir and it's sur roundings were found in excellent con- dition.
 It is probable that instead of pur- chasing land adjoining the lower re- servoir in order to do away with al legged contaminating influences. tha main reservoir will be connected vi l city mains by a pipe line. This V I make the water pressure much hig i. Already the board of public works 4is asked the board of finance to rec | mend an additional appropriation $1 ,500 for the engineering departnlast so that it may complete work towai'l the perfection of high pressure ser vice at the East Mountain reservoir.

Real Estate and Rents
O'NEILL'S BULLETIN.

Some of my friends are under the impression thatA when I advertise a house for sale at $4,60O, that mean $4, 100; that when say a place will be sold for 2,5OO, that 1t means S1, 800. A few nights ago I advertised house for sale on Vine street for $4,6OO; 1t was paying 10 per cent on $5,0o0. A day or two after I had it advertised, the people who owned 1t concluded that the price was too cheap, so they came in and told me that they want ed $4, 800 for 1t. The next day man came in with my advertisement and said, T will give you $4,4O0,' but l told him that the price had gone up $2O0. Holy smoke, l thought I could get you down $2OO, but as you have gon cup $200 guess I'll take to the woods However, he took the num- Der of the house and I shouldn't be a bit surprised to have him buy it at $4,8OO. As have said before in ref erence to this house, it is paying 10 per cent on almost $5,O0O and you can buy it for S4,SOO. Also. as I have said, after September 15 this house will cost you $5,O0O. If you put off buy ing, you will pay fancy prices for houses before very long.
 Open every night except Monday.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.--Among tht newly coined nouns, adjectives and ad- verbs in the new edition of Funk & Wagnall's dictionary is the word ',.chesty," the term applied to Inspector George McClusky when he was a cap tain by William S Devery, then chief of police. Here Is the way the word is placed in the newest dictionary: sChesty -chest-y, pronounced chesti, a. Slang. U. S.),' manifesting aggressive self conceit; bumptiousness; affected; pretentious." When Devery was asked why he had removed Captain McClus- ky he replied. ."Oh, he was too chesty." Whether the synonyms placed beside "chesty" by the photographers meet with the appreciation of the coiner of the word has not been learned.
