HASSEEN COUNTRY
G. c. BlakesIee, Speaker at Y. N. C.
A. Mems Meeting, Will Tell
of the Holy Land
AND RELATE EXPERIENCES
Among Other Incidents in Tour, He
Was Victim of Attempt at Hold
up by Woman Leper.

G. c. Blakslee, who is to address the
mems meeting at the Y. M. C. A. next
Sunday on the topic of "A Message
from Jerusalem" will be able to give
a most interesting talk on account Of
the experiences he had in that city
while on a tour in the east. On one
occasion he had a thrilling experience
with a woman beggar who turned out
to be a leper and who made a desper-
ate attempt to hold him up in broad
daylight within a stones throw of the
city walls. He was making circuit
of the city on horseback, having just
descended from the Mount of Olives
with a party of friends vino had left
him to make the rest of the trip alone.
AS lie was in narrow path on the
outside TO the city walls, several wo-
men approached him, and he guided
his horse out of the path in order to
make room for them. They were beg
gars and did not appreciate the I'M
usual courtesy he showed them, and
as soon as they were in hearing dis
lance they asked for aims. The horse
which Mr.. Blakslee was on had be-
come FESTIVE at having to get out of
the path, a thing which it was not ac-
customed to do, and he paid no atten-
ton to their demands. Suddenly the
younger of the two women sprang at
his horses bride, warning Mr. Blaks
lee that she was a leper, and again
| demanding money. With instructive
dread of the leper uppermost in his
mind ON the instant. Mr. Blakslee gave
| his horse a sharp, quick cut with his
riding whip, and it sprang past the
angry leper SO close as to brush her
shoulder. She tried to grasp the rein
as the horse passed, but it was toe
fast for her. and Mr. Blakslee was
safe, though the angry shouts and cries
of the disappointed lepers rang in his
ears for time .,.
Pictures of Passion Play.
| In conjunction with Mr.. Blakslee's
talk, the third and last series of the
passion play pictures will be shown
A. r. Buffin, boys secretary of the as
ISOLATION in Freeport, will address the

In court, Wednesday. the two got to-

TO do. and Miss Harris was given the
two smaller rings as security.
Mr.. Harris claimed that the dia.

POUND OPPOSES
BOOST IN RATES
No Reason for Proposed Increase in
Water Charges, He Says-Would
Issue Bonds for Improvements.

Water rates In Detroit Will go up
posed by President Dodge, OF the wa
ter board, in special meeting, Tues
day afternoon, is put into effect. This
city now has lower rates than any
other large city OF the country and
the new rates will still be very low as
compared with those prevailing else
where
The new scale would provide for a
household basis rate of $500 per year
instead OF $500 as at present and a
charge OF three cents per thousand
gallons for all excess over 10000 gal
Ions per quarter year where meters
are used. These increases would
boost the water board revenues by
100000 per year
President Dodge stated that. with
increased rates, II would be possible
TO build the new pumping station with
out bond issue. He declared that
the board should issue no bonds.
However. IL the advance is authoriz-
ed, at the June meeting, as now seems
probable, IL will be against the strenu-
GUS opposition OF Commissioner Jas.
ii. Pound.
Il concede that our water rate Is
extremely low" said Mr.. Pound. We'd
nesday morning, and and 1t could be
very properly increased If there were
any necessity for il. but I don't see
that there IS. The time undoubtedly
Will come when an increase in the
rate viii he imperative. but that time
Is long way in the future, IN my
opinion.
I'D like to know what objection the
board has TO issuing bonds for the
new pumping station. Every great
permanent Improvement made in the
past has been by bond issue. and
where we now pay three and one-hai
per cent interest our fathers used to
put up per cent.
Commissioner Pound scored point
Tuesday. when his resolution to pay
the balance of $4,000 due Mrs John
Il. Edwards for the property east OF
the water works. purchased several
years ago, finally went through.
An offer OF $40, 592 is to be made to
Jeanette Lorman for about 10 acres
of land in the same locality and IL this
offer is refused. the corporation coun-
sci VIII be instructed to begin con-
domination proceedings under a new
act Of the legislature.
John Lingeman was appointed clerk
at LOO per year while Walter G..
Bowen was made inspector at 5000.
Engineer Fenkel was instructed to
get busy TO lay the new water main TO
