The Board of Water and Light
Commissioners of this city recent

with Mr.. VIM. Eberhat for a
second deep well, to be located on,

hope OF the commissioners that
the two wells will supply all
needs of the waterwOrks plant.
This will save the necessity of
pumping into the water mains the
polluted water of the bayou.
When this condition prevails it

and his new employer came with him.
He remained at the Germania for
year, then, in 1879, he played star en-
gagements throughout the country, in
towns with big German population,
such as Cincinnati, Peoria, st. Louis,
Milwaukee,; and the next year re-
turned to New York as the chief stage
manager of the Thalia, to become its
manager during the ensuing twelve
months.
Here Mr.. Conried, by applying the
methods taught him by Forester,
brought the Thalia from a state Of
decadence into one of prosperity. He
also opened the eyes of the theatrical
world by his acting, for his love of the
stage frequently drew him on to it
whenever his managerial duties per-
mitted.
Mr. Conried remained at the Thalia
until William S. Steinway sought him
out and asked him to take charge Of
the Irving Place theater. Mr. Stein
way admitted that it had run down.
and added that he felt Mr.. Conried
was the only man he knew who could
bring it UP to a high standard. Mr..
Conried looked over the field, thought
he saw a good opportunity, and ac-
cepted Mr.. Steinway's proposition. Now
the Irving Place theater is New York's
leading German Disbursements so
by Mr.. Conried, who, from the moment
he took control applied the lessons
taught him by his benefactor, Foer-
ster.
Mr.. Conried was now recognized as
one of the leading managers of the
metropolis and one of it's prominent
German actors His boyhoods dream
had been realized in large part, but
now he dreamed another ambitious
nothing lass
than this: He knew that Wagner'5
famous opera of "ParsifaP' had never
been produced outside of Bayreuth; he
also knew that it was common prop
erty, under law, of the world at large.
he would produce "Parsifal' in Amer
lea sooner or later. Immediately he
set about to prepare his plans for such
a production in order to have them
ready against the day of the opportun-
ity. To that end, month after
month, year after year, he kept track
of the grand opera stars OF Europe,
and evolved his plans for the opera
how he would secure COPY of the
carefully guarded score; how he would
produce the scenic effects; how he
would form his company; and thou
sand and one things that occur to the
mind of a manager.
For ten years he planned and rear
ranged his plans; then Maurice Grau
abdicated as Americas grand opera
impresario. Mr. Conried was ready
for just such an opportunity-in sport
ing parlance, he was trained to tho
minute" Training told, and he was
chosen to fill the position vacated by
Mr. Grau.
What followed is pretty we'll known
throughout Europe and America, But
it is not so well known that Mp! Com
ried attributes much of his success to
his application of Foersters methods
to grand opera-lessons that were
taught him by Vienna's great actor
when young Herr Conried was dream
ing of becoming some day a great ac-
tor-and not Americas leading i'm

hall, the printing and advertising bills
are paid The prizes are secured" to
put it mildly, from business men who
are supposed to be advertised" by
their generosity.
Every year brings a new stock of
euchre stories and incidents, some Of
which are sad and others full of humor.
A middle aged man who lives in
Fifth avenue bachelor apartment and
who goes out somewhere every night
during the winter has had no end of
fun this season attending euchres. He
has a particular dislike for women of
the pushing" variety, and there are
no end of them in some euchre games
where the prizes are worth while.
81 suppose 1 am a wretch" he said in
telling about it, land unworthy of
drawing the breath of life, but I could
not help it after loking on at pro-
gressive euchre last week, and seeing
the way the women strove for the
prizes determined to enter the game,
to play, and to see that every prize
hungry person who become my partner
had just one chance less.
sHThe first woman on whom I tried 1t
was elderly, nearly seventy, and
should have had pity on her gray
hairs She was rejoicing in five pro-
gressions without single break. and
which was the first prize.
"'Of course she babbled, I don't
need a grand piano. I've owned one
ever since 1 can remember, but one
can sell these euchre prizes for tidy
sum, even though you don't get what
| they are worth
81 threw several games, and did it
rather openly. Our opponents progress
ed. AS they left the table she arose
and gave me whitening glance.
! "'You look like a gentleman, she
| said, and will not say that you are
not one, but'-she glared second
but man who plays as vile a game
| of eucnre as you do should be IN an
| imbecile asylum
another woman threatened to have
her husband thrash me. The most
pushing pusher I have run across this
| season told me that, according to all
| moral law, l owed her an automobile.
| 1 will admit that I did hit her rather
| hard. causing her to lose the TWEEN
tieth game, but then she should not
| have been SO intent on prize getting.
| Still another woman made scene
! when she found I was to be her part
ner She had played with me some
where before and had not forgotten.
1 Three sisters who live in comforta-
BILE house of their own between Central
/ Park west and Boulevard and one OF
| the Eighty streets, are not going to any
| euchres this season. Last season they
went to every game for which they
| could secure tickets, and they won a
housefuI of prizes. With one of the
! sisters prize getting became a mania.
When she could not get a prize fairly
she cheated. She was clever, and in
the big games was never detected
