A Oitizen Kioks.

To the Editor of Tho Journul.

I have noticed as havo all our citizens that the water works has been the source of much talk and condemnation. First, on aocount of tho warm and unolean water which wo have to drink, and second on account of the laok of force or water in the case of fire. When the elevator burned it was twenty-five minutes from the time the alarm was given until the engineer began pumping, and even then the water would hardly reaoh the second story. This oan be remedied by the water works company witti very little extra oost. The ex-engineer and ex-firemen will go back, ran the pomps day and night and give us water direot from the springs, not from the standpipe. Morgan, as an engineer needs no oommendation. We must have better water and more foroe for fires. Is this not a plaoe for the city dads to do some of their good work. A CITIZEN.

The Faots About the Water Works, To the Editor of The louriml. So muoh has been said oonoerning the Water Works sinoe the burning of Crabbs & Reynold's eleyator, and that of a most unoomplimentary nature, it is perhaps due the publio that I should state the exact facts. I was not over two seconds in answering the telephone call, and the two large pumps were started in fifteen minutes afterwards.

When I was called the water gauge showed 73 pounds pressure and 165 fuob of water in the standpipe, which is certainly not bad for a starter. These faots I am able to prove by competent and trustworthy witnesses, the tongues of irresponsible gossipers to the oontrary. The telephone people will say that the engineer has never yet failed to answer a lire oall promptly.

OBIQINAL PACKAGES

About a week ago one of our young Sunday sohool teachers took her olass on a pionio excursion. When the dinner hour oame the youngsters began to break up in squads for lunoheon, each exhibiting the contents of her basket as a bait for desirable partners. Tho basket of one little Miss contained but little, but nevertheless she was the one most invited. One artiole in it stood out boldly superior to all others. Yo shades of Bagdad's fabled cooks but that was a oake. Covered all over with the whitest icing and orowned with a oandy roo6ter it stood the 'consummation devoutly to bo wished for," of every childish heart. Its owner had no diilioulty in selecting her table companions, and how the poor little thing did munch Mid crunch tho chioken, patties, jellios, eto., that were plaoed before her. The oakes of the others wero disposed of first, the glory of tho feast being retained until the last. And now the supreme moment has arrived. The knife glides swiftly through snow white crystaline mountain and discloses its interior. It ia a loaf of brown bread ioed over. We draw the veil.

Dear me! I received such a shook the other morning. I was up in Nicholson's gallery and turning around suddenly I met with such a life-like photograph of Handsome Harrie. Here now, I promised I wouldn't tell his name, but really the photograph was very lifo like.

Chiof Weidle went frog hunting. This was a terrible and heinous orime to bo sure, and tho poor wretoh may well be satisfied with a term of 99 years. The terrible und heinous part is that he didn't get any frogs.

It has finally been settled and that divinely handsome Mr. Abe Andrew isn't ooming back here to college next Fall. It is really too bad, as Abey was one of the most charming beaux I ever saw.

Plans for filling empty ohuroh pews during this hot weather are in order, I suppose. The song servioe at the Christian ohuroh was a very successful affair bat Bong services oan't be given every Sunday. I would suggest that oar ministers for their evening servioes preaoh on some sooial, political or local question and thus attract that large class of non-church-goers who are suoh not because of anything vicious in their natures nor because they are opposed to religion bat because the average churoh servioe is to them a bore. They realize the importanoe of the ohurohes and'will argne in favor of them as strongly as the most pious deacon, but when asked to attend excuse themselves by saying that the sermon will be too dry, the player will be too long or the musio will be screechy. Now it is no more than j.nstioe to these persona that seme effort should be made to- attract them as well as those who have been raised betwoen church walls. A few years ago. Rev. Alfred Kummer tested the capacity of the Methodist churoh by a series sermons on "Popular Amnsemeuts." The subject together with liberal adveBtising in. the newspapers attracted mi&ny to whom a yolpit was a strange sight and it can be done iww. Oar ministers may object, that it is too sensational, away of carrying on the Lord's work but surely it ia better than preaching to empty pews. Last Rev. Ed Lane take tho subject "The Water Works and tho

Duty of th« Oity Counoil." Rev. G. W. Switzer, "Sunday Excursions," Dr. Cunningham, "Tho Relation of the Churches to the Business XntereBis of Crawiordbvillo," and Rev. G. P. l?uscu
