far this machine has been unavailable
to the department for lack of room, and
is stored in a shed back of the engine
house 1 recommend the tearing down
and remodelling of this station upon
modern plans. This will be money we'll
spent, as the use of the hook and lad
der truck alone may, in the near future,
be the means of saving considerable
property or even a life. With this i'm
provement and the installing of more
alarm boxes, our fire department will
be all that could be asked for by d
city of this size.
Street Lights.
AS We are not in a position to fur
nish our own lights, there is not very
much at the present time that can be
said of this department. We should,
nevertheless, keep a good check on the
lights. We should see that they are
always in a satisfactory condition, and
we should not pay for them when they
are otherwise.
Water.
Perhaps the most important branch
of the city's business is the water de-
partment, whose officials are charged
with the collection and disbursement
of revenue to a very large amount. and
the employment of much labor, and
purchase of material of great value.
The special committee of this depart
ment, should, in my opinion, be actu-
ally a managing committee, studying
| the details of the water business and
| acquainting themselves with the future
as well as the present plans of the
water officials. In the laying of new
mains, the prospective growth of the
city should at all times be considered
and the mains laid of size sufficient te
provide for such future growth thus
avoiding the expense of relaying them
in a few years. Such problems are
best decided by men of experience
hence I have appointed to this commit
tee so far as possible the men who have
been in touch with the work of the de.
,partment during the year.
ReinstaII Old System.
I recommend that the system for.
merly in vogue be reinstated that NJ
mains be laid until the superintendent
has submitted an estimate of cost. &C
cOmpanied by his recommendation a.
to the size of the pipe to be used, ant
a statement of the income to be derived
from extensions, and that the waite
committee meet formally a least one
a month, audit all bills, authorize al
expenditures and contracts, and ap
prove all recommendations from tn
superintendent for the laying of tn
new mains Bids should be invited 70
supplies. and the lowest and best bid
ders be given the contracts, preference
at all times to be given at even price
to our home institutions.

A MONUMENT TO THE
 WOMEN OF CONFEDERACY
BY EMMA ToULAIN REID. Bell Telephone No. 1897.

At the Gulfport convention of the United Daughters of the oaStderaey, there will be a comparatively new and most interesting event. General stephen D. Lee, the beloved commander of the |. c V.. will present, through one of the higher officers of that federation, Gen. c. Irvine Walker, commander of the Army Northern Virginia Department, [. C. ", the loving greeting of the Vet erans to the Daughters. He will also in- vlte the Daughters to unite with the Vet erans and Sons in paying substantial tribute to those to whom the south was everything, the Mothers of the Confed- eracy. He will ask for their indorse- ment of the movement and that the women support and urge on the men, now as they did during the war, and make them do their full duty.
 General Walker, who is most earnestly working for this grand object, and has all It's details in mind, will most stal- wartly, and as believed, eloquentlyI pre- sent the matter and ask for this indorse- ment We believe the loyal daughters will most cheerfully and enthusias tically EiNb lls w ilti iIo delhb AAN1A' SA ot'iA'N4te- ition was composed, most largely of the very mothers whom it proposed to honor, a becoming modesty, would make them shrink from such approval. But now the body is composed most largely of the daughters and granddaughters of these mothers, and it will surely appeal to them as their duty as much so as it is that of the sons, to honor their mothers and grandmothers,
 Many plans for the form of memorial have been considered, and the one adopt i've is the only one which gives practica- bility, permanent and invites all the states of the Confederacy in it's interests which are absolute essentials in deter mining this form. It is proposed for the most distinguished artists of the world if necessary, to secure the model for statute or group of stautes in bronze typical of what the women of the Con federacy did and suffered From this model will be made replicas enough to place at least one in each state of the confederacy. It is hoped that every city of the south will have one of these bronzes Every one in the south can then see and learn the lessons from these monuments. They will not be tribute of one state to women. but will typify as it should, that the south as a whole, united in paying tribute to the women of the south as whole.
 This plan has met universal commen- dation and must give satisfaction to every one.
 The daughters. we know, will be de- lighted to hear General Walker and hear him upon a subject so near and dear to their hearts,

Cowboy With a Bank Roll.

From the New York World.
 Granville c. Raitt, cowboy, got back from England on the American liner St. Paul yesterday with a bank roll' as long as himself. Raitt is six feet ten inches in his stockings, and his "banK roll'' is S4o0oO, which he inherited on the death of a relative He carries the "roll' in cash, tucked throughout his clothes
 Raitt was anxious to catch his train to get back to Dakota to resume chas- ing cattle thieves That has been his job as @ member of the state mounted police for the last dozen years, and the fact that he has got fat wallet isn't going to make any difference with him. The giant fell into the legacy unexpect- edly, 1t being from a distant relative whom he lost track of years ago He left his job just long enough to go to England and get the money.
 No, I guess I won't settle down in the city, he said yesterday at the pier when he was declaring his little piece of baggage; 'I been brought up on the plains riding pony and 1 don't see any fun in New York or London or Paris Back to the prairies for mine You get fresh air and no soft-coal smoke or fog out there, and you get all kinds of trouble here'
 When he was asked what he was going to do with his cash, he said he was going to put 1t in his sock for rainy day" Immediate uses of the cash had not sug- gested themselves to him, and he isn't worrying. He is carrying the cash with him, and 1t will take six men to get 1t away from him when he has got his eyes open. Raitt attracted much attention on the passage across by his great stature and his shoulders that size up prorpr- tionately to his height.

Bad Place for Furs.

From an Exchange.
 No longer do fashionable women In Washington put a fortune in furs. Ex- perence has taught them that nothing
 is so injurious to fine furs as the warm, moist weather that prevails at least a good quarter of the year. The Baroness von Rosen, wife of the Russian ambassa- dor, after learning what damage could be done to her sables. has sent them to her furrer in St. Petersburg, and has ordered a lightel and less costly set. The Rosens are rich in furs. The ambassador has a half dozen fur-lined overcoats, and the Baroness Elizabeth, the only daugh- ter can make a change of garments and neckpieces every day in the week. She has a particularly fine silver fox jacket but, like her mother, she realized that many furs are not as essential in Wash ington. so her finest specimens also have gone to Russia.
