AduIatlon Pleased Rousseau.

Rousseau, whose bicentenary cele'
bration occasioned a riot In Paris the
other day, created a sensation when
he visited England in 1865. Rousseau
and his Armenian dress" wrote Lord
Charlemont, were followed by
crowds when he first arrived in Lon
don, and as long as this species OF
admiration lasted he was contented
and happy. Garrick not only gave a
supper in his honor, but played two
characters specially to please him
Rousseau was highly gratified, but
Mrs Garrick declared that she had
never spent more unpleasant eve
ming in her life, the philosopher be-
ing so anxious to display himself.

A Capture.

What was the matter with the fell.

merely to ask that question, insisting
on privacy? There must surely be
some hidden purpose behind this. Yet
if so, there was no betrayal in the

shot at me in deadly earnest.

planned to make an open cut the
whole distance, but that the fact that
portion of the right Of way to the
west was in the town of Pleasant
Prairie made it impossible to dispose
of the earth from an open cut aud
made a tunnel necessary.
There is little new matter in the let
ter from Mr.. cleary and it is not
probable that the street assessment
committee will consent to reopen its
report which has been ready for the
council for some time. Mr.. Cleary s
letter is regarded as a sort of a last
appeal for settlement and it is pref
ty certain that the contractors will
not be wiling to accept the amount
named in the report Of the street com
mittee. No provision has been made
by the city for the payment of bill
for extras and it is regarded as pretty
certain that if the case gets into the
court that it viii be long time be-
fore the city will be called to worry
over the settlement of the bill.

SAYS ENGINEER IS WRONG
Senior Member of Contracting Firm
sends Letter to Aid. Rhode Asking
That Arrangements be Made for An
other Conference to Settle Matter.

NJ D. Cleary, senior member of the
| Cleary, White, Newman Company, con-
tractors for the trunk sewer, has asked
| for a re-opening of the consideration
of the bill Of the company and this
| morning Alderman Joseph G.. Rhode,
chairman of the committee on streets
and alleys and a member of the street
assessment committee, received long
letter from Contractor Cleary in which
he asks that a new conference be call
ed with a view of seeking a settle
! ment of the differences between the
contractors and the city.
In his letter Mr.. Cleary goes very
much into details and rehashes nearly
every thing in connection with tie
building of the sewer. His statements
| for the most part are uninteresting and
contribute little toward the settlement
of the points at issue. He asserts how
ever that the report made to the city
| ny W. u. b0Hll, bHG OulCdgO 0HSlHS6Fs
is not based on facts. The engineer
in his report asserts that he had ac-
| cess to the books Of the Cleary, White,
Newman Company and based his
| figures on the cost Of the sewer on
these books. Mr.. Cleary now insists
that Mr.. Lenth had never seen the real
figures. The cost of the excavation for
the sewer is placed by Cleary at lit
| tie over $4,000. He asserts that lunl-
Der was left in the tunnel at tho de-
mand of the city engineer and former
Alderman George R. Wade. He de-
elares that it would have been impos-
sible for the company to have com
pleted the sewer without leaving this
/ lumber in the tunnel. He shows that
a part Of the added cost was due to
the fact that the sewer was on the
| line between Kenosha and Pleasant
| Prairie and asserts that this fact was
| the real reason for tunneling the west
end of the sewer. He holds that when
the bid on the sewer was made it was
