NOT BOUND TO MITCHELL.

The city attorney and others of
those who are knocking the mountain
water proposition still contend the
council has some kind of secret
agreement with Engineer Mitchell
who made the preliminary surveys
and investigations, whereby he is to
get the contract for the building of
the system. This charge has all along
been denounced as absolutely false.
and without any foundation what
ever.
Mayor Pro TEN O'Boyle who was
chairman of the special water COM
mittee, states that the council is in
no way bound to Mitchell, has no
agreement with him, are under no OBJ
legations TO him whatever, have paid
him for his work and has his receipt.
It is not even known that Mitchell
or any company with whom he is
connected with make bids on any of
the work the council employed him
to do. Not a promise has been made
to him, and no agreement with him
has been entered.

SHE WENT AFTER HIM.
Chairman water Committee

Last night on the carnival grounds
a young man of powerful build threw
a handful of confetti in the face of a
lady who resented the action by
quickly grabbing the young fellow by
the hair, scratching one side of his
face very badly and giving him three
terrible fist licks" directly In the
face. 1t was all over in a seconds time
and those who witnessed the AFFAIR
declare that the manner in which the
woman went after the confetti throw
er was more than fierce. AS soon as
released the young fellow took to his
heels and has not been heard of since.
The woman was accompanied by
her husband but he did not partici-
pate in the row being satisfied. evil
IDENTIFY that his wife could take care
of herself and this she did in great
style. 1t is said that the young man S
face was bleeding profusely when he
was released by the woman. He
made no effort to strike or defend
himself from her sudden and force
ful attack.
OF course the woman may have
been justified in the case, all the cir
cumstances leading mp to her attack
not being known. but people who are
willing to fight the moment confetti
is thrown on them in a playful and
innocent manner, and there have
been such people on the carnival
grounds this week, should stay out OF
the Jostling, good humored, confetti
throwing crowd that has been out
each night this week..

Pennsylvania State Board of Trade Makes
Public Replies of State Executives
in Passenger Rate Contest.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE
state board of trade of Pennsylvania has
set afoot movement to obtain uniform
legislation throughout the United States
for 2cent railroad fare. With this
object in view the board has communi-
Gated with the governors of all the
states. Secretary Williams of the board
has made public the replies. With only
few exceptions, the governors person
ally are favorable to n 2-cent rate.
In several instances they tell of move
ments in their states to obtain the enact
ment of such n law at the next session
of their Legislatures. Some western
governors say that because of the sparse
ly settled condition of their states the
time is not yet ripe for a radical reduc-
ton. Secretary Munson, replying for
Gov. Davidson. says:
The governor is in full accord with the
movement with which you are allied. lie
believes that the time has passed when first
class railroads should be exempt, in Wis
cOnsin, at least. from the legal establish
ment of a cents mile passenger rate
Gov. Broward of Florida says:
In my judgment the railroads would make
more money if they would carry passengers
for IL cents a mile, as | believe that more
than twice as many people would travel as
do now.

QUEEN VICTORIA'S FAN.
Use of the Fan by the Church-Some of
the Earliest Makers

The Fsnmakers' company, by whom
the lord mayor and sheriffs are enter
tanned this evening. may or may not
know il, bat they owe the prosperity
indeed, the very existence-of their call
ing to our little allies the japanese. The
folding fan originated in the land of the
rising sun thirteen centuries ago, and
was modelled. if tradition speaks truly,
upon the wing of the bat.
We did not get the idea directly from
Japan. 1t passed through China. and,
very long afterward, through Italy.
Spain. and France to us. The non
folding fan is, of course, as old rs the
history of church and court. and had an
important place in the paraphernaIa of
both in Assyria and Egypt.
Anciently in the church the fan was
employed to brush away flies from the
sacred vessels, and in the professions of
Rome the habella of peacock feathers
still has place.
Fan making is still an important in
dustry in Paris, but the articles now
produced do not compare for beauty
with the products of the Eighteenth cen
fury, when godsmiths, jewelers., metal
workers, carvers and artists combined to
make fans which today are worth fabu-
lous prices.
Probably the strangest fan ever used
was that employed one evening by Queen
Victoria. At n signal from the Queen
the company arose to return from sup
per to the ballroom. Leaning on the
arm of the prince consort, her majesty
entered the ballroom smiling and bowling,
md tanning herself with-a huge table
