PosEY's OLD TABLE-cHAlR.

a lawyer, who died several wears
ago at New Albany, says the In
dianapOlis News.
The old Posey table came into
the hands Of Judge Wolfe as Gift
from his brOther-in-law, Samuel
Keene, a lawyer of COrydon, Ind.
1t was bought by Mr.. Keene at a
sale of Gov. POsey's personal ef-
tects and household goods, which
took place at CorydOn some time
IN the '4Os. The entire table is of
black walnut wood, and it is very
heavy. The belief is that it was
made in Corydon by a local "cabi-
net and coffin maker" as the bust
ness phrase then ran, and was
used by Gov. Posey in his public
Office. BY heavy handmade iron
bolts and screws, the massive cir.

President Eliot on Football.

President Eliot Of Harvard Univer.
sity has issued a report on football In
which he says, among other things:
''Some Of the lesser objections to the
game are its extreme publicity, the
large proportion of injuries among the
players, the absorption of the under.
graduate mind in the subject for two
months and the disproportionate ex
altation of the football hero in the

Waverly Waterman.
IL is nov up TO the people of Waverly
about the waterworks. The COMMITTED
appointed by the city council to inves
tigate the cost of the plant made it,
report Monday night The report
submitted by this committee is sub.
saDtially as follows:
Wrne old waterwOrks company will
lease to the city for a period of ter
years its entire plaDt consisting Of
tank, mains, hydrants and other appur.
%tensncess except the well, which will
revert to the owner Of the land on
which it is located. In consideration
OF this lease the company requires (l)
that the members of the company be
allowed to connect private pipe lines
with the city mains for FIRE protection
only; and (2) that the plant be put IN
operation within six months. As the
well from which the old wAterworks
company draws its supply belongs to
Mr.. j. W. Hays, it Will be necessary
for the city to either drill q deep we'll
at the tank or pipe the water from the
big spring north of town. This last
plan is believed to be the better one
because OF the uncertainty Of striking
an adequate flow Of water in a we'll
drilled On the hill near the tank.
The distance from the spring to the
tank is 100 feet. The altitude of the
tank above the spring is a little over
l62 feet, To force the water this dis.
lance the committee has estimated the
cost If plant at about $500.
This plant will fill the tank, which
has a capacity of 60 600 gallons, in
TWO days. With the addition of 200
feet OF hose the city can have good fire
protection at all times. Without the
hose, however, there will at least be
on hand plenty Of water fo.
bucket brigades.
The people will vote on this propo.

that they are worthy of

Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm

SUGGESTION

The Times endorses the suggestion
made by DR.. Borum that the City
Council should order the telephones
taken out of all the houses OF i'll lame
in the city.
They are used in these places tor
no good purpose and the converse
tons are, with few exceptions, low
and vulgar, and from which the
Young ladies OF the exchange should
be protected.
The free service between this city
and Leland, in the telephone service,
was cut out because of the abuse OF it
by these patrons of the two cities,
and because of this, every business
man who talks this distance has now
to pay royalty of IS cents.
The sooner the City Council cuts
off this means of communication and
sets off part of the city for this
class, and requires them to move
trere or leave, and then gives them
proper police protection, the sooner
they will furnish a solution to one
Of the most perplexing problems of
all cities.

The Times is opposed TO the advo-
cacy of some to sell the plant to
private company to operate, until il
has been placed under the control Of
board of business men for few
years and proven that the plant cannot
be made at least self-sustaining, or pay
a revenue yearly to the city. J
The Times truly believes that if a
good business man, paid a good sal
airy, whose appointment is made upon
ability and not political power, was
placed in charge Of this plant and give
en- the power to select his own force
necessary to run this department of
the city in Business like manner, It
could be made to pay as well owned

quired OF them by corporation in or
der for them to make a profit ont OF

The rapid growth Of Greenville IN
the last few years has increased the

to such an extent that they cannot

believe, they will gladly welcome for
