WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1890.

Now i« the time for the city council to a "force bill," compelling the water works company to live up to its contract.

SIXCE the water works cannot put the required pressure on its mains it is time for the city council to pat on its pressure.

Win the Republican organ of the Eighth congressional district defend Mr. Mount's vote against the repeal of the conspiracy bill?

THE NEWS believes in maintaining contracts, notwithstanding the disregard which a certain afternoon paper had for a written agreement not long since. The water works company should be forced to comply with its contract.

IK a fight comes with the water works company it will prove a mud slinging uGair. The company baa plenty of the article in its mains. There is one consolation, however, that the danger line is only fifty feet from the nozzle.

THE police board Instructed the pollco last night todovoteeapwcifcl attention to gambling, the board having been informed that poker was being played In almost every saloon and gambling room In the city. One member of the board suggested that the gamblers

Immediately started on a

tour of more minute inspection In compliance with the order.—Kxprewt

This is a candid admission that gambling has been going on under the nose of police officials. It is a frank acknowledgement by the Republican organ that Supi. Davis has not done his duty. It demonstrates that TUB NEWS was not amiss when it said Militiaman Davts was incompetent.

AGAIN the water works demonstrated its incapacity for coping with a large lire. Again has it been found that the company is utterly unable to fulfill the stipulations of its contract. The plea was made that the test Monday afternoon was not fair. 11 is true there was no fire, but pressure was called for and not a siugle stream WRS thrown to tho height of 100 feet. This morning another test was

destruction of the Riverside Woolen milis. TUB NEWS does not undertake to say that adequate water pressure would have saved the mills. One thing is certain: the streams of water which were turned on the fire were exceedingly weak. Eight lines of hose were at work and the streams could not be thrown over thirty or forty feet The stroams which were of service were from lines that had been carried to within a few feet of Hie fire. Tho firemen did the best they could, but the spectacle of pouring muddy water on afire was calctilattxl to disgust the average tax payer.

Tho city council should demand compliance with its contract. Should a conflagration gain headway in the uptown district it is doubtful if it could bo suppressed, A thirty or forty foot stream is of Utile service in fighting afire in a large building. The company cannot put pressure in the mains with safety. The pipes are old and altogether too small for tho service they are expected to perform. Terra Haute has paid the water works company since the organisation over $600,000. It has in the past and is to-day paying $40 per year for a hundred unauthorised and unnecessary tire plugs. The city has been bled by the company and in return miserable service is afforded. It is one of the greatest questions which the council has before it. Public sentiment demands that the water works company shall bo compelled to comply with its contract to the letter.

HERE AND THERE.

Some very novel schemes are frequently sprung on doorkeepers by ingenious gentlemen who wish to secure admission to entertainments and do not wish to giv© up the price demanded therefor, but the means employed by a certain individual in a futile attempt to get into the labor ball Monday night so for surpasses anything of the kind y*t reported, in point of celestial gall, as to deserve attention. Gus Werneke was at the door, when a full-grown man assayed to pass him and ascend the stairs, "Here," exclaimed Werneke, catching tils anxi. "Oh, I'm all right, rm all right," said be. "I didn't see any check or pa*/' peratsk\l the door-keeper. "I know, but Fm a policeman." "A policeman?" "Yes."

Werneke turned back the fellow's coat but found no star. "feee ao evidence thai you are a policeman/' said be. "Well, come here,"continued the mcarnation of riad, drawing a paper from his pocketaad approaching the let werneke took the paper in his hand and started to read. And what do yon suppose it Simply a petition for a Job on the police force!

The door-keeper turned a look of witheriagscorfi on the adamantine hunk of nerve. The laU*r"s couraae SMmedat last to fail him and snatching his petition he sluuk down the step*.

Fine Villas at Newport.

The large number of very wealthy men at Newport who have now been ornamenting that city for twenty or tMrty ywra, ami in a tueasuro boot* competing with each other for style and taste, has led to an especially finished look about all the villas there. Their foliage is superb. Some of the lanes are deeply shaded and have a solitary look, even at midday, and these are said to be the resorts of the English nurses and French.bonnes. The pine tree grows at Newport considerable perfection, and other varieties of the fir, and the elm is there seen in all its magnificence, the most spreading of all trees, not excepting the oak.

Three of the Vanderbilts, two of the Astors and two of the Goelets are among the villa owners at Newport. The house that William K. Vanderbilt is now putting up (and he has been at work upon it for more than three years) is made of great slabs of white marble almost as pure as Italian marble, and the walls and lodge are of the same material. There are lodges and even hen houses at Newport which would be remarkable ornaments in some of our large cities. Most of the houses in the fashionable part of Newport are made of stone mixed with wood, the gables frequently mado of cement and pebbles with exposed wooden skeletons, and some of the chimneys are made of hewn stone, others of rough stone and ashlar, and many others of brick, lofty and ef-fective.--Cincinnati Enquirer.

Wh.T the Turkeys Dmced.

There died a few weeks ago in San Francisco an old man who, a generation ago, was known New York as "Turkey Levy." His name was Aaron Levy, and in ante-bellum times he kept a saloon on Chatham street, near Baxter. The great attraction of Levy's place was a big cage on a raised platform, in which were confined three solemn turkeys. An old chap with a cracked violin would begin to play a tune, and the turkeys would dance, first with slow and stately measure, gradually becoming more animated as the fiddler fiddled faster, and eventually ending witha ludicrously "wild and frenried motion, which created intense surprise and am oaement. Old Levy kept his secret until one night a party of inquisitive toughs upset the cage, and found underneath a charcoal furnace. The bottom of the cage was of metal, and when the old man fiddled he kept time with his foot This put a bellows in motion, the fixe burned brigh t, the metal began to get hot and the turkeys began to dance. "Turkey Levy" has never had

New York Word.

Told by QwUuua of MniifhanrtU.

Mr. Olds, a gentleman from Massachusetts, now residing on the St Lucie river, tells a remarkable story. While ctesring a homestead on the east side of the river by the seashore he went to bathe in the surf, hut on putting his feet in the waves found the water icy cold he tried it again with the same result, the water was just like Ice he then walked along the beach and found pika of froaen fish.

He almost recofled. "If she saw me she would think I was following her," he muttered. The thought hardly passed through his mind when he heard his name called, and, turning, he saw Bessie Archer, her father and Arcliie Tillingliast alighting from a carriage drawn up at the curb. "We are just going into Del's to have a bird won't you come with us? Fm sure Uncle Archer and Cousin Bessie will be delighted," said Archie, pulling him gently by the arm. Mr. and Miss Archer added that nothing would give them greater pleasure, and they said it with so much sincerity that Rush accepted the invitation. Their cordiality was not his only reason for accepting. He hoped, poor boy, that Helen would see him there, and with another woman! It was quite late and there were not more than half a dozen people in the restaurant. The birds, however, had barely been served when a feminine rustling was heard in the doorway, and a voice that brought the blood to Rush's cheeks and set his heart to beating like a trip hammer said, "I feel too tired to climb a flight of stairs let us have supper in herej it is late, and every one has gone." She didn't see the little party. It was just out of her range from the door. So they came and were waved to their seats by the dignified Francois, whom Rush had mistaken for Delmonico the first time he visited the place. "Why, there is Bessie Archer," said Helen, bowing and smiling, and bowing and smiling again as she recognized Rush and the others. Rush had hit upon a plan of action. He was going to make Helen see that -he could be happy with another woman (she had never for a moment doubted it), and he laid himself out to be agreeable to Bessie. For her part, Bessie was very much predisposed in his favor, and was not at all averse to his attentions. When her health was proposed by Archie, Rush drank to her with his eyes as well as with his lips, and he took a sly glance to see if Helen was looking. She wasn't, as it happened she was listening very attentively to something that West Hastings was Baying. At last Rush felt her eyes turned in his direction, and he played his ace of trumps: he took the rose 6he had given him from his botton hole and presented it to Bessie in his most impressive manner, and Bessie tucked it in the folds of her hair. Helen saw all this, and she said to' herself, "Why, the dear boy is in love with Bessie Archer. He couldn't do better for she is a great catch and a very lovely girl." But down in her heart sho felt a little pang at losing so devoted and pleasant a friend as Rush had been for if he becamo engaged to Bessie their little evenings would como to an end. However, she would not be selfish, and ho might count on her as a friend to further his suit.

CHAPTER VIII.—Continued. And lie pictured scenes or future greatness, where he stood conspicuously in the foreground receiving the homage of the crowd (for what, he had not quite made up his mind), while in tho background Helen Know 1 ton looked on and sighed, and said to herself: "Ah, me! what might have been!" He found himself gazing (with his mind's eye) more intently at the background, where he pictured Helen, than at the foreground, where ho pictured himself. Poor boy I he really suffered tortures. Just at that moment life did not seem worth living. He had been walking aimlessly along as these thoughts had been flying through hia brain, and ho did not notice where he was until the awning across the sidewalk (it was a cloudy n'ght) reminded him that he was in front of Delmonico's.

U8H was

very hard at the office of The Dawn During his first ac

quaintance with Helen Elnowlton he had written special articles,

for which he was paid so much a column, but now he was taken regularly upon the staff of tho paper, on a salary of $80 a week. He was in no special department, but acted in the capacity of "general utility man," which gave him just the experience that he most needed. He forked ii$ tho city department, edited telegraph "copy," and wrote occasional editorials, so that his nights were pretty well occupied, and ho could not have renewed his evenings at Helen's had he been so inclined. He was trying to drive her out of his mind, but he found that simply impossible.

To refrain from calling aft her house was much easier yet he did not accomplish oven that sacrifice very successfully. When" he left the office of The Dawn at half past 1 or 8 o'clock tn the morning:, he walked, up to Twentieth street and passed with lingering footsteps under her window tat he had not called upon her since the night his pride had been so wounded by what he took to be her desire to rid herself of his company. He had called at the Archers', however. It came naturally in his way to do so. Sometimes he dropped in of an afternoon with Archie, and sometimes by special invitation of Bessie, who liked to talk over with him the things she was just then Interested In. Buddhism was at this time attracting her attention, and, as Rush was much more liberal minded than Archie, she enjoyed fiimmtming this Oriental religion with him.

Rush really cared little mors for it than did Archie, but It was something to divert his mind. Sad hs dreamt for a moment what a bold it waa getting upon Besaie, he would ban* politely but firmlj »L»rlirail (o {JJQ SUkbjeC&. Be supposed thai she took it up as he did, as as intat}ec*ua! anunement bat

I'd the intense disgust of Arcliie slie renewed her acquaintance with Mme. Parapoff, and continued to attend to her seances. She did not ask Archio to accompany her any more, for she knew that he would try to argue her out of going, and as she had made up her mind to go the argument could only have ended unpleasantly. She got hold of a young married woman with a taste for the unnatural, and the two visited the very remote and dingy apartments of the High Priestess of Buddha and listened to her twaddle with credulous ears

As Archie was really in lote with Bessie, I should explain ithat she was not lus cousin nor any blood relation to him had she been I should have taken no interest in his sentiment for her. She was Mrs. Archer's daughter, but 6he had been adopted, when 6he was 5 years old, by Mr. Archer, when he married her widowed mother. Archie had been brought up to regard her as his own cousin, but his feeling towards her had been of a warmer than cousinly nature tor a good many years. She liked him more in the cousinly way, and always turned the conversation with a skillful stroke when she thought he was going to express other than the sentiments of a cousin towards her. Since her devotion to Buddha there had been a little coolness between them. He could not tolerate any such nonsense, and the thought of tho class of people to whom Bessie was turning for esoteric information almost maddened him. Buddhism was only another name for spiritualism, he argued. The latter was a burned out volcano from which its devotees were trying to throw otlt imitation lava to deceive the credulous. That Bessie Archcr should be one of "the deceived ho consid ered a degrading tiling. "Let the vicious and the vulgar run after such absurdities, if they will, but heaven forbid that a refined young lady should find any attractions in this tomfoolery 1" was his reflection. "My dear Bessie," he said to her, "if (his Parapoff was what you say, she would be sitting in a golden temple, deal-, ing out her words of wisdom at a thousand dollars a word. There is nothing that men would better like to know than what tho future has in store for them. If they believed that they could be inform ed with truth, they would pay any amount of money for it would save them countless sums. People are credulous enough, in all conscience, and if they had the slightest encouragement to believe in these sootlisayers they would patronize them to an extent that would make theirs the'most profitable profession in tho world rather than the most ill paid. They would be living in palaces instead of in dirty *oams^in back streets, and their patrons would be tho rich and great rather than poor deluded servant girls." "But they aro not all 'poor deluded servant girls' who consult Mme. Parapoff. Some very intelligent men and women visit her rooms, among them your cousin Bessie Archer, who does not put herself in the class you mention "With the deluded, dear child, but not with the servant girls. You can't show me an intelligent man or woman who seriously consults^Mma

Parapoff.

The very fact that one consults her disproves his intelligence." "You are so prejudiced, Archie Till inghast, that if Mme. Parapoff predicted something to you and it came true, you would say it was all chance," exclaimed Bessie, indignantly. "I am quito suro I should, Bessie, and I am equally sure that it would be," replied Archie. "You area very unsympathetic and narrow minded young man," said Bessie, rising to leave the room, "and 1 shall never again speak to you on this subject. I find Mr. Hurlstone much more liberal." "I am sorry to hear that I had thought betterof Hurlstone." And Archio opened the door for his cousin to pass out of the room. Ho was genuinely distressed and well he might be-—for when a crotchet of this sort takes possession of an idle person's brain it is hard to uproot it. He felt sure that Bessie would become thoroughly disgusted in time, but when? He wondered if could be possible that Rush was encouraging her in this nonsense. No, he could not believe that but it began to dawn upon his mind that Rush might have taken his advice about the prima donna (he hadn't seen him with her of late) and been devoting him self to Bessie. Ho turned pale at the thought, for it was plain that Bessie liked him. Why hadn't he let his friend go on dancing attendance upon the singer? Why should lie have interfered? It waa just like him—always Standing in his own light.

Tho drawing room door opened, and he heard Rush's voice saying to the butler, "Tell i£iss Archer that I am here, James she is expecting me." Then, upon seeing Archie, "All, you here, Archie? glad to see you. I've called to take Hiss Archer to see some pictures at GoupiTs won't you go along?" "No, thanks,* replied Archie, somewhat coolly *Tve an engagement down town, and mult say good-by which he did without loss of time. As Rush stood looking out of the window, he noticed that Archie turned up, instead of down town, but he thought nothing of it, except that his friend had probably changed his mind. That he should have regarded t|im as a rival in the affections of Bessie Archer never ootsimd to him. In the first place, ho did not suspect the state of Archie's feeiings towards Russia and in the second, be supposed that Archie was thoroughly aware of his devotion to Helen Kjoowlton.

Rush was &ot altogether happy this afternoon. It was a whole fortnight since he had spokes a word to Helen. Ho had seen In tbe meantime In an pM curiosity stop Broadway, aooon*pankkl by her aunt and West Haatiiygj

any engaged and mating preparations for housekeeping? No, they were not it was nothing so serious aa that. West Hastings was refurnishing the dining room in his bachelor quarters. The erase for old furnitUre was just then at its beginning, and he had asked Helen and her aunt to accompany him to this shop to look at an old French sideboard he thought of buying. Helen had excellent taste, and she sealed the fate of the sideboard by pronouncing it a beauty.

This episode, as Rush interpreted it, waa depressing enough of itself but added to this be had received along and desponding letter from his mother, telling him of the Mutual Dividend Mining company, of CoL Mortimer's connection with it, and of tho offer he had made to John. "Do see Johu as often as you can, Rush dear, and keep him under your eye. You know how I dread the influence of Col Mortimer. He is a bad, unprincipled man, and dear John is so easy going tliat he doesn't believe there is any harm in liim."

John must have been" in town" for a week at least and he bad not yet made himself known to Rush. By chance, however, the brothers met. Rush was 6ent to report a masked ball at the Academy of Music—a thing he felt utterly unfit to da "I was never at a masked ball in my life," he told the city editor "So much the better," replied the editor. "You will give us fresh views of a hackneyed subject. I quite envy you your new sensations. Get your copy in as early as possible, and good luck to you."

Rush was about the first person to arrivo at the ball, and the Academy looked gloomy enough. He had been told that the festivities did not begin until late, so be arrived at 0 o'clock, thinking that that would be about the fashionable hour. There was not a woman in the place, and the only men on hand were the floor managers. He had plenty of time for reflection before the ball opened, and for the 6ake of the associations he wandered ab^ut behind the scenes. The stage and parquet were boarded over, but the pruna donna's room was undisturbed. He looked in and sighed. A perfume of violets lingered on the air, and he sighed again as he recognized it, and then wandered to the front, where a room had been reserved for the press. A largo table stood in the center, furnished with paper, pens and ink. There were a great many bottles on the table, but they did not all contain ink, or anything that looked like it.«

He sat down and took a pen, and thought to improve the time by writing to his mother but, as he could say nothing about John, he concluded not to. Instead, he wrote "Helen Knowlton" over three or four sheets of foolscap, in every variety of penmanship, and then tore the paper into fine bits. But, still fearful that the name might be discovered, he made a little pile of the scraps and burned them, watching their destruction with an expression of countenance not at all in keeping with the spirit of a masked ball. He shook his head sadly. "A man's hopes may be as easily destroyed as that paper," he said to himself, as he blfew the ashes from tho table. Then he sauntered out into the lobby.

There he found a very different scene from the one he had left Men and women were crowding into the place as fast as the man at the wicket could take their tickets. Most of tho-men were in evening dress, but all tho women wore dominoes and masks. There were a few who appeared in fancy dress, but they were the German members of tho society.

Rush was too young and too enthusiastic not to find excitement in the scene, and when the dancing began he thought ho had never witnessed anything so brilliant and intoxicating as tho movement of these many colored dominoes to the musio of the band. As time wore on, the place became more crowded, and Rush recognized among the men many faces that had become familiar to him at the opera and elsewhere. There was Uncle Lightfoot Myers renewing his youth, with a pink domino on his arm and there was West Hastings lounging against one of the pillars of tho balcony and chaffing a Columbine. Rush wondered what Helen Knowlton would think if she saw her friend thus engaged. His thoughts were broken in upon by a voice at his elbow: "My handsome young friend," said a blue domino, taking his arm, "why do you pose in this melancholy attitude on so festive an occasion? This is Romeo's, not Hamlet's, night Let us walk about among the giddy revelers. I want to Gee a more cheerful expression on you* young face."

As they walked out into tho lobby, Rush racked his brain to recognize the voice or figure of the mask. His expression showed that lie was puzzled, "Ah, you do not. recognize me," she said. "How sad that makes me feell A little disguise and one's identity i3 gQn& 1 should have known yon through twenty disguises." And she turned her mask up at him in the most bewitching manner.

Certainly I have never had the pleasure of hearing that voice before—no man could forget so sweet a thing," said Rush, entering readily into the spirit of the balL And so they thrust and parried, until his mask spied a spry old man with gray side whiskers and a bald head, when she dropped Rush's arm aa suddenly as she had taken it, and took the other by the band.

Dear general, I am so glad to see you! I have been looking for you all the evening, and feared you wane not coming."

The general looked pleased, though puzzled but this was not his first masked hall, Mid in a few moments Rush saw Mm moving off in the direction of the supper room, the blue domino hanging affectionately upon his arm.

Before the night was over, Rash learned much of the ways of masked balls, and came to the conclusion thai the blue domino was an entirely new acquaintance of his and of the general's. As he started for the press room, he mef his city editor with a Swiss peasant girf on his arm. "Hello, Hurlstone, said he. And, stopping a moment, he whispered, "Get your copy dcwnearly,and have your fun. You can write it out here and send it down.* And be^ too, passed on In the direction of the room. ifo*»cojm*cfty
