The First Annual Ball

The members of the Douglas Island Football Association are much pleased with their First Annual Ball, given at Natatorium Hall last Friday evening. The attendance was exceptionally large and embraced many who very seldom get out to this style of an enter tainment.
 The Orchestra led by Prof. Wilson furnished music of a superior quality. Everything combined to make the event extremely felicitous.
 The plan of the Association is to not only enter the field for the game of football, but now and then a dip into the social arena as we'll.

W alter Meters

The Philadelphia (Pa.D Rrcord says
The people might as well begin to think
about meters. Sooner or later all cities have
got to use them 1t will be impossible to
supply future populations with no restraint
whatever New York is now contemplating
an expenditure of Sl6l WO, 900 for additional
water supply, and the question is whether it
can get the water even with the money,
The present supply would be ample if the
street waste and the house waste could be
stopped.
1t should reasSure apprehensive persons
that meters are popular where they are
known and unpopular where they are not,
The use of meters StntS no one Water at
10 cents, or even 80 cents a thousand gal
Ions is used freely. But it isn't left running
all night to save the labor involved in turn
ing the Splgot.
On the same subject the Press says the
houSeholders of Philadelphia under the
fixed rate system paid over one mil
lion dollars more than they should"
The reason is they paid for great deal
more than they consumed. They paid for
all that was wasted by their wasteful neigh
bors. They paid for all that was used by
the city i'll flushing streets and in extinguiSh-
ing fires They paid enough to cover all
the expenses of the Water Department and
gave the city a million dollars profit besides
If householders paid for only what they use
as ascertained by meters, their water rents
would be much reduced.
The testimony of hOusehoders in other
cities where the meter system has been in
PRODUCED is that they have saved money by
the change. There is no disposition where
meters are once fairly installed to go back
to the fixed rate system. Water meters will
not be installed in Philadelphia at present,
but when they are they will reduce water
rates, if Mr.. Hands calculation and the ex-
perencc of of other cities can be relied upon
In universal sense, wherever the
water supply is limited the meter is in
dispensable-this in order to compel
everybody to be an economist i'll its use.
Above and beyond this, the cost of
water, like all other costs of public
utility. should be regulated by the
amounts taken, and those who CON
sumo or waste should pay accordingly.
If Frostburg had the meter system
there are spigots running all day now
that would not then lose an avoidable
drop.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
We are about to make a selection of

the importance of choosing for MAYOR
man of executive ability. One verscd in

Personally. have not an unklnd work to
say of Mr. Fisher, but am very much of
the opinion that he is not by any means
qualified to fill such an important office.
Would 1t seem just the thing to elect
man who owes our town over two hundred
dollars for his pavement on | niOn street
And would like to ask Mr.. Fisher why is it
that he has not long ago paid this honest
debt when he, As well as others petitioncd
for the pavement?
Therefore, would it not be unreasonable
to place such man at the head of our
Council 10 sit uDoH las Oirt ease = And upOn
the case of others like his? do not think
our citizens will so far forget their own in
tcrcsts as to select any member of Council
from the non-paying class of public i'm

In looking over Mr.. Fishers record find
that he has never been at the head of any
Council, or Association of any kind except
ing our base ball team and every
School-boy knows what great failure he
made of that undertaking.
As to Mr.. Crump's candidacy. there is
little doubt in my mind but that he is made

qualified to till the office which he seeks

THE MOUSE IN THE AUTO.
Description Of a Trap That Gives the
Captive . Ride After It Il
Caught

Now Il Is an automobile mousetrap.
It is made Of perforated tin and has
three wheels. The wheel in front Is
several inches in diameter and resem-
bles the wheel in a squirrel cage,
says the New York Sun.
When the mouse has entered the
trap and taken the bait, thus closing
the door Nehind him, q little passage
leads him to the big wheel In front
Here an ingenious arrangement allows
him to get In but prevents his getting
out Of the big wheel once he has en-
tered.
In his efferts to escape the mouse
sets the big wheel to whirling. This
rests on the floor and aets like the
driving wheel Of a locomotive. In q
minute the mouse Is spinning about
the floor.
Just why It should be thought ad-
visable to give the mouse an auto
mobile ride after he Is caught the
mousetrap dealer doesn't know. What
il more to the point with him Is that
the little novelty has attracted a good
deal Of attention and hence sales have
been frequent.
