The secret of health and beauty does
not seem to be a great secret after all.
Mrs. John Jacob Aston, who has been
called a great beauty on both sides OF
the Atlantic, was in New York today
and she revealed her secret" This Is
the way Mrs. Aston herself told of the
simple plan she has adopted to pre-
serve her freshness and beauty:
IT live simply, take adequate exer-
else, eat nationally, act with delibera-
ton and get plenty of rest"
A month ago Lillian Russell gave the
same prescription Mrs. Leslie Carter
has been giving it for three or four
years; Patti and Bernhard have been
handing it out for twenty years and
every sensible woman over 80 knows
it by heart.
Down in Little Syria there is lit
tie jewelry shop kept by dark-eyed
dark-skinned Syrian. Here you will
find candlesticks, daggers, bejeweled
vinaigrettes, bracelets, watch fobs.
bon everything that you can
think of that you have ever seen in this
line in a curio shop. There are some
very exquisitely enameled mirrors and
trays; these are the pride of the Syrian
workman. 1t is here that the collector
from an uptown store finds his 1ewelry.
| These articles that sell at fabulous
prices on the avenue, or even on Broad
way, are trinkets of small expense. If
you know good Syrian you may pur-
chase them for a very small sum, yet
| if they were displayed on the counters
at this price you would not deign to
look at them.
| 1t is announced that no liquors will
be sold in the new Hotel Gotham, at
the southwest corner of Fifth avenue
and Fifty-fifth street, recently opened
| to receive patrons. Rumor had 1t
that the management of the new hotel,
| in order to circumvent the law which
makes it unlawful to sell liquor within
200 feet of a church, had arranged to
establish a wine cellar and bar in an
adjoining building, communicated with
by means of a subterranean passage.
This, however, is now denied by the
management.
1t was announced that no attempt
whatever would be made to purvey
wines or liquors to patrons but that
those who desired wines with their
meals might have them through pur-
chase near by. In other words, the
diner desiring a bottle of champagne
will have only to order when it will
be got outside the 200-foot limit and
placed before him.

WATER WKS. co. SAYS
IT WILL OPEN RIVER PIPE
IF TEST IS TOO SEVERE.

In notice served last Friday on the
mayor and city council by the Manitowoc
Water Works company, warning Is
given that, in case the city should insist
on an unreasonab1y strict compliance,
on the part of the company, with Sec
ton : of Ordinance III, when making
the test of the water works plant now
contemplated, the river pipe will be
opened to meet the demands. The notice,
which was given over the signature of
T. w. Gray as secretary, reads as fol-
lows:
I'VE understand that you contemplate
Il test of our works to be made as pro-
vided for in Sec. 3 of Ordinance III
passed Nov IA, 1887 by the common
council of the City of Manitowoc.
We desire to call your attention to
the fact that we have two sources of
supply, one of which is a filter gallery
flowing to our we'll from which the
water is drawn to our pumps and the
other source being pipe laid to the
Manitowoc river as provided for in Sec.
. of said ordinance.
1t is well known to you all that the
water from our filter gallery is an alb
solutely pure water. The character of
the water in the Manitowoc River, is
also we'll known to you.
We have never pumped any water
from the pipe leading to the M!nitowoc
River, and we nope we may never be
obliged to do so the other supply having
been perfectly adequate for private and
public uses, including water for fighting
fires and for all tests which have been
made of the works.
We Believe that this supply is ample
for any contingencies which may arise
in the future. However, we desire to
call your attention to the fact that we
are allowed to take water through the
pipe leading to the Manitowoc river in
case it should be necessary for us TO do
so to fulfill the requirements of our
franchise. An easonable construction
of Section or said ordinance might
compel us to draw water from the Man
itowoc river.
We desire to call your attention tc
these facts, so that in case you so con.
duct your test as to require us to dc
what would be obnoxious to the people
of Manitowoc that you do 80 with q full
knowledge of the circumstances. =

TEST OF WATER WKS. PLANT
STARTED MONDAY MORNING.
Results in Incipient Riot and Ends
Abruptly.
ATTEMPT AT OPENING RIVER
PIPE SUCCESSFULLY RESISTED

The threats made in the above notice
had aroused determined opposition and,
while the test was being made Monday
morning, an attempt on the part of the
Water Co. officers and employees to open
the river intake pipe was strenuously
and successfully resisted by city officials
and citizens This resistance resulted in
several sensational incidents and it
created scene of confusion that took
on the aspect of an incipient riot. There
was much excited talking, some scuf-
fling fourishing of clubs, and T. w.
Gray, secretary and superintendent of
the Water company, was, it is alleged,
armed with revolver.
When the test was ordered Monday
morning, ExMayor William Rahr, ac-
companied by his two sons and few
employees of the Mailing company plant,
went to the pumping station of the
water plant with the firm determination
to prevent the Water Co. officers from
carrying out their threat to open the
river intake pipe and thus to contain
mate the entire water system with
impure, germ-laden river water. CITY

councils committee on fire and water

meier, We're also present before the test
was begun. Mayor Stolze had ordered
the test to be started early in the day
but there was considerable delay
Finally the water was turned on; and
after the work of testing the plant had
been in operation for short time,
Mayor Stolze appeared at the pumping
station of the plant. 1t was then that
the trouble began. Superintendent Gray
of the Water company informed the
mayor that, if the test was to continue
the river intake pipe would be opened
forthwith. Then Mr. Gray asked the
mayor whether or not he insisted that
the test should be continued. He saws
that he was told to have the work 20 no.
Thereupon Mr.. Gray started for the box
which contains the valve of the intake
pipe and no sooner did he get there than
he prepared to turn on the contaminated
river water; but Elk Mayor Rahr pre-
vented this just in the nick Of time
when Gray was applying the key to the
shutoff Of the eighteen-inch pipe. 1t
was then that serious trouble seemed
imminent, for, it is alleged someone
fourished revolver. But the weapon
was taken from him by DIR. Staehle,
health officer, who in this laudabe act.
was assisted by some and opposed by
others. During the scufie, and the con
fusion of this sensational scene DR..

ignation about year ago, will con
tinue TO carry on his paper business.

Staehle was struck in the face with an
iron bar. However, the blow inflicted
no serious injury. At this stage, Mayor
Stolze left the pumping station and
hurried to the intake pipe box. This
marked the beginning of new act in
the serio-comic drama The mayor it
is alleged, sought to interfere. There
was clash of words. And then some
one struck the citys executive in the
face. After the assault the mayor turned
in riot call for the police and then
went to the Office. Mayor Stolze says
that he did not insist on having the test
continued when he was told that the
river pipe would be opened Moreover
it is claimed that the fire and water
committee of the council were present
at the suggestion of the cty's executive
for the express purpose Of preventing
the opening of the river pipe.
By the time the excitement was at its
height large crowd had gathered at
the scene of the trouble. But after the
failure of the attempt at opening the
river intake, the test was abruptly
ended.
The credit of having prevented the
water system from being contaminated
is due to Elk Mayor Rahr.
1t is claimed that the test was unsat-
isfactory and that the pressure was no
higher than IS pounds, whereas the re-
quirements are 120 pounds,
Had the river pipe been opened. much
mischief had been done. But the respol
sibility would have rested on the city
of the Water company.
