THEY ARE KICKING.
CITIZEN** PROTECTING AGAINST
TUB WATER WORKS ‘
Becnnw Thor Do Not Receive Protec
tion Prom PirCi No They Nny—
Whnt Tho City Au
thorities Ilnro
to Nny*
$ Some of the citizens who live in the
Southwestern portion of tho city are
entering a vigorous kick against the
action of the authorities in stopping
tin) laying of the water mains, as they
say, one block short of where it was
intended they should run, as per the
original survey, thus taking away
from them means of protection in case
of tire. •
After the city was surveyed, ns a
whole, it was found that several blocks
( in different localities were so sparsely
* settled ns to make the laying of tile
mains upon them totally unnecessary.
One instance of this kind was the
block on Planters street between Jef
ferson and Monroe. Objection was
made that the citizens on that part of
the street were not supplied with
water. The matter was looked into,
and the council lias decided to lay a
main in this block, ns there were more
people to supply than was at first sup
posed.
VVhnl They Nny.
Hearing that a petition was to be
fIf. . circulated, setting forth the grievances
as above stated, and nskingfor redress,
n Hkrald reporter sought outMr.D.W.
Price, who lias been materially affect
ed, as he thought, hy the change in
the former plans, and questioned him
in regard to the matter.
“Tile facts nre just these,” said Mr.
Price, “the city spent $1,000 to have
the survey made for the laying of the
water works mains, and, according to
the original plans, we voted $100,000 in
bonds against the city for the purpose
of constructing a water works system
on the lines laid out.
“The work of laying the mains lias
now been completed. According to
the former plans the main on Madison
street was to extend out to Mercer
street and there turn east. Put in
stead of that the pipe was stopped at
South'street and there run eastward.
This puts the nearest Are plug on the
corner of South nnd Madison streets, a
distance of over 800 feet from my resi
dence,
“I would not linve voted for the
bonds under these conditions, as I am
afforded no protection from fire what
ever, and my insurance rates will not
be lowered in the least, ns will be the
case in other parts of the city. 1 think
it but common justice that, we should
have the full beneilt of the water out
there when people who live on Soci
ety street, one half of which Is out
side the city limits, have full benefit
of the protection from fire. They say
they intend to run a small pipe down
Madison street to supply us with
water for household use, but that Is
not the main object of the water works.
It is protection from fire that. I want,
and common justice demands that I
have it. Several other portions of the
j? city have been affected in the smile
way. There is something wrong some
where, hut I can’t tell exactly where
it is. The city authorities spend the
people’s money and benefit themselves
by it.
“There nro several other gentlemen
similarly situated to myself, among
whom are Messrs. IV. S. Bull and B.
F. Sibley. YVe will get up a petition
to the counoil to have the matter rem
edied so as to afford us protection from
Are, and I think the majority of the
people in the city will sign it. It will
i be gotten up nnd sent in to the council
at an early date. YVe want justice in
the matter.”
The Authorities Talk.
The story from the city authorities
puts the matter in quite a different
E light, and is given here as explained
by Mayor Gilbert and Alderman Lock
ett.
The city was surveyed as a whole
and the lines laid out, but when it
came to the construction of the water
works It was found that several sec
tions were so sparsely settled as not to
warrant an extension of the mains
upon certain blocks in the city. Still,
care was taken to leave no section
and no citizen outside of the limits
where he could not be protected from
Are as well as others. Where the
mains were not continued small pipes
will be laid to furnish household sup
plies.
So far very few have raised any ob
jections to the way in which the sys
tem has been constructed, and in gen
eral it has proved very satisfactory.
In speaking of the case of Mr. Price,
and others who live in his neighbor
hood, they said that, while it was true
Mr. Price’s residence was about 800
feet from the Are plug, the Are compa
nies here had 8,000 feet of hose and
oould easily reach it in case of emer
gency. But besides this there is a cis
tern on Madison street whloh is but
reoeive the full benefit of the water
supply aB well as protection from Arc.
In regard to insurance rates they
say that Mr. Price is no more affected
than any other citizen in his section
whether lie is in the neighborhood of
a Arc plug or not. Albany now has
the same rates as Savannah nnd Amer-
ious, and no reductions would be made
in oases where the residences nre so
far from tho center or the oity, wheth
er waterworks mains ran past their
doors or not. Altogether, they saw no
ground for complaint.
Thus tho matter stands. The citi
zens who claim to linve been treated
unjustly will try to obtain redress
through the mild form of a petition,
which will be sent into the city coun
cil at nil early date.

Strange Indian lliuula.
Among tho Indians of North America
many strange beliefs are held respecting
demon heads that wander about, somo-
times harmlessly and at other timos for
mnllgnant purposes. Somo of thorn are

There used to ho a society among tho
tho Iroquois organized lor tlie purposo
of propitiating these extraordinary ter
rors. Tlio latter, according to popular
conception, most commonly moved about
from tree to treo in solitary places,
where they woro apt to bo encounterod,
much to the discomfort of hunters ami
wonion who chanced to be alone in the
forest. Few things can he imagined
more disagreeable than to moot unex
pectedly ill tho woods u great head six

Occasionally these remarkable crea
tures would talk, but it was chiefly at
night that they had a Aery aspect, their
favorito nocturnal haunt! being marshes
and pools. Members of tlie exorcising
Eociety woro masks in imitation of the
heads v.’hon they performed ceremonies
for tho purposo of driving such demons
away. Of courso tho Aro faces woro
invented to account for the jack-oMan-

Kitchen Worn n rroml Occupation.
Kitchening seems to ho tho only sj.0
cles of work that no ono need blush for,
and, after all, does not hunger justify
the means? In the midst of that period
of tho French revolution known as the
reign of terror, did not the ex-Capucine
monk, Chabot (an expert in tlie Bcienco
of good living) invent the “omelette
tmffee aux pointos d’asperges,” and ako
“a la puree do pintados?” Did you know
that it was to the elector of Bavaria that
we owe the "havaroise,” which was pre
pared and made under his own eyes for
the Arst time at tho Cafe Procope?
Modem history also offers noble ex
amples to onr admiration. The Empress
Elizabeth, of Austria, that accomplished
horsewoman, that sovereign of a court
where aristocratic prejudices are of the
strongest kind, glories in her talent as
a pastry cook. Her daughter, the Arch
duchess Valeria, boasts of having peuc
trated all the secrets of the ancient and
modem cuisine. Qneen Victoria is very
fond of making omelets, and it seems
she has several recipes. Her daughter,
in-law, the Princess of Wales, excels, in
preparing tea and buttered toast.—Paris

One morning, during the earlier
years of my practice in the west, I
was riding toward a little New Mex
ican mining camp. It consisted of n
fe\v shanties in which the men
bunked, oue or two adobe huts, a
provision store, a hotel and a saloon.
As I rcachod tho point where tho
straggling mad became a ^street I
met John Wolcott, superintendent
and nssayer of the Boswortli mines.
Ho looked unusually serious, nnd
calling a man to tako my liorso to
tho stable, I dismounted nnd seated
myself besido him on his blackboard.
It hnd lioen difficult to convince
the men, most of them easy going
but hard bended miners, that tho
epidomic was upon us, nnd when I
bad first pronounced it smallpox tho
boys lmd cursed mo in no monsured
terms. For several days after they
had continued to drop in nnd seo
Freomnn, bringing samples of prime
whisky to pull him through.
Tho symptoms, however, soon be
came unmistakable. A panic lmd
siezed the men, niul thus my* worst
fears bognn to bo realized. Within
cloven days from tho time when I
firet visited Freeman six men were
low and ono lmd died. It seemed
advisable for mo to leave my prac
tice at A with an assistant nnd
to spend my time for a few days
mostly at tho camp.
Tho cabin in which nil attempt
had been made to isolate Freeman
was already quito full, and now, ns
we drove ulong among tlio dusty
cacti, John told mo that there woro
two now casos at Scudder’s saloon.
“A saloon isn’t just the place for
them,” I said, but I don’t think he
heard me. Ho continued:
“They must bo moved at once.
Tlie men have fled now, but it would
take more tlmn the smallpox to keep
that plnce empty."
Wo drove directly to Scudder’s.
Wolcott lmd closed tlie shutters nnd
it was so dark that I could not at
first see tlie two men, whose quick
breathing I heard. I threw open a
window. Two overturned chairs, a
broken table, half a dozen broken
bottles nnd an array of dirty glasses
on the bar testified to tho hilarity of
the previous evening. One of the
sick men lay on the floor behind the
bar and the other in a corner of the
disorderly little room. A comrade
braver or more thoughtful than his
fellow deserters lmd set a pitcher of
water on the floor and lator lmd
pitched some blankets in through
the window.
Both men woro in u stupor from
the combined effect of the whisky
and the disease, hut the symptoms
were unmistakable.
‘Where shall we put them?" I
asked Wolcott.
"Not much choice of places. Jucl-
son has just finished a shanty, We’ll
hnve to use it. I’ll hunt him up.”
But little could be done for the
sick men until they were differently
placed, so I drove out with John to
seo what could be found. Judson
was not at the hotel. The landlord,
knowing what we wanted, shook his
head. He didn’t think Judson had
built that shanty for a pesthouse.
He had heard talk about u wife and
some little children.
There were but three women in
the camp, two of whom, Mexican
women, were employed as help in
the hotel. So Judson’s theme had a
special significance for his friends ns
well as for himsolf. We drove on.
The man we sought was not at the
mine, but an hour later we met him
oa his way there.
“Judson,” said Wolcott (he had an
unnecessarily authoritative manner
with tlie men), “we shall have to
take your house for the sick people I"
“Tho devil you will I"
“Yes; the-cabin is full, and there
•re two fresh cases at Scudder’s this
morning. Your house is in shape,
isn’t it?"
‘Not much, and what’s more it
won’t be."
“What’s the trouble?"
“Think I’ve put $800 into that
shanty for you to put them drunken
devils into?"
“We could make that all right.”
“No, ye couldn’t Next time 1
build, maybe I’ll fit up for a pesl-
honse, but this happens to be for my
wife and children.”
"I can’t think of another place,”
said Wolcott, speaking rather to
himself than Judson.
“Let them stay where they are;
they can’t hurt Scudderls,” the
householder called out as we left
him. We drove on in silence. I did
not know the situation well enough
to make suggestions, and I confess
to having felt an interest in seeing
how a practical man would deal with
the emergency.
A woman was coming toward us.
I think it was a shade of disgust on
Wolcott’s face that drew my atten
tion to her tall, rather heavy figure,
which moved toward us with a cer
tain grace. Her bleached hair was
drawn back into a knot in some un
kempt fashion, and her face as she
stopped, evidently wishing to speak
with Woloott, was like a blurred
manuscript revealing but little, and
txst :: X character that she wetua
have conoealed had it been possible.
"Mr. Wolcott," she said as we
came near her (John pulled up his
horse with evident impatience), “you
know where I live?”
"You’re Miss Smith, I believe?"
She looked questioningly at him for
a moment, but she could gain noth-’
ing from his impassive face. Then,
as if she know our dilemma and the
course of our thoughts, she said,
"S’pose ye bring them men to my
house?”
"Where will you go?”
"Guess there ain’t ho placo to go.
I’ll stay there."
"It can’t bo donp.”
"Ain’t it good enough for ’em?"
Wolcott spoke more gently. “Good
enough t Yes, but have you had the
smallpox ?"
‘No.” We drove on. “Say, Mr.
Wolcott” (the woman hnd not
moved), “they’re there now."
“Where?”
“At my house."
“Oh I”
“It.’s all right, ain’t it?”
"Who moved them up tliero ?’’
“Two of the men from Jake’s
cabin. I told thorn” (looking fur
tively into Wolcott’s face) “that 1
hnd orders from you I”
‘You did 1 Well, now you havo
an onlor from me—got a home, go
straight to A and stay there un
til I give you permissio: to come
back. Do you hear?”
“I’m ’frnid doctor won’t let me go
there," sho said, looking at me.
“No," I Buid, replying to Wolcott’s
seai'ehing glanco, "I won’t lot Uor
go. She's boon helping to cure for
the boys in Jake's cabin, nnd I sup
pose sho has just como from these
now coses.” Sho nodded as I said
this, and we drove on.
I had known John Wolcott from
his early childhood and well under
stood his impatience now. It an
noyed him to havo his cut nnd driod
classifications of humanity disturbed.
I knew that lie would brood ovor
this unexpected incident until some
satisfactory reason for its existence
was found. Ho was surprised, evei\
chagrined, to find that a woman like
the one wo had just met could ap
peal in any way to liis respect.
“Now, what did sho do that for?”
he said after a thoughtful silonco.
“What would any one do such a
thing for? She’s human, isn’t sho?”
Wolcott's intolerance seemed brutal
at times. •
“Human? Certainly, but how do
you explain her life?’’.
“I don’t have to explain it,” I said.
“The men call her Lib," ho suid
significantly.
“They don’t throw stones at her,
do they?” I nsked.
“No,” reflectively, “I don’t think
they do,"
When I had attended to those who
were in the more advanced stages of
the disease Wolcdtt joined me again
and together we drove toward Lib’s
cabin. It was well out on the plain,
a hare, unpainted little place,
browned by the sun to a certain har
mony with its surroundings. Lib
was seated on her doorstep and
seemed to be resting from recent ex
ertion.
"They’re in there,” Bhe said, wav
ing her hat, which she was using ob
a fan, toward the front room and
making way for us to pass her.
The room was bare and comfort
less. Its furniture consisted of two
cots,’ one or two wooden chairs and
a pine table. Its decoration was
achieved hy the presonco on the
walls of a few gaudy prints from
the circus. The place was clean
enough, but untidy. It was wholly
lacking in the charm that makes a
place homelike.
“You’d hotter tell mo what to do,"
sho said when we had undressed the
men and made them more comfort
able, "I reckon I’ll be tho only
nurse in this hospital.” And so it
turned out.
“Do your best, Elizabeth,” I said
when I had given her instructions
about medicines and drinks. "Do
your best and we’ll stand by you."
She looked at me with some Bur-
prise. I wondered afterward if she
had ever been called Elizabeth be
fore.
The situation presented an unsolved
problem to Wolcott. Alert and vigi
lant to all that came under his super
vision, I saw that his oyes often rest
ed on the nurse os she moved about
in obedience to orders. Now that
his first repugnance had been over
come, he treated her as he would
have treated any faithfql serving
woman. She obeyed him unques
tioning, and as she was a good cook
and possessed unfailing good nature
she proved to he a capital nurse.
The men were certainly hard cases.
They had to be managed, and Lib
had her own methods? She would
swear at them, threateningly or en
couragingly as the case seemed to
suggest, but never with ill temper.
When circumstances allowed she
would drop asleep in some corner, to
be awakened by the first call or
moan from her patients.
There were at one time five cases
in that little room, and their re
covery was largely due to lib's faith
ful service. We lost three cases in
the other cabin.
Wolcott s sense ot justice lea nun
by say something kind to her one
Cpy.
"You’re a good nurse, Elizabeth.
You must have had experience.”
“Yes, I’ve nursed a good many
times on and off.”
“Smallpox? I thought you said
you’d never had that."
“No, not smallpox, bnt what’s the
sense of beln scared? Hell can’t be
much worse than bein beat black
andblue by a drunken fool.”
"The scorchm might be a trifle
more worryin,” suggested one of the
sick men in a teasing way. They
were all convalescent now. . An' ex
pression of fear flashed across Lib’s
face, usuujly so stolid.
A young fellow on one of the cots
saw it, and with some unnecessarily
emphatic adjectives said:
‘Oh, damn it, Libl You won’t go
there, and if you should there ain’t
a devil in all Tophet mean enough to
toast you.”
"Ho might bo drunk, you know,"
Lib answered, “und then there’s
ho saying whnt he would or
wouldn’t do.”
Naturally Lib did not escape tho
contagion. I found her one morn
ing when I called to seo tho Inst of
tho convalescents lying on one of
tho cots.
“It’s coma, doctor 1” sho said.
‘Goad thing tho boys aro out of the
Way. Are there any now ones?”
‘No. Let mo see your tongue.”
Her enso was serious, and from tlio
beginning there was but little hope of
her recovery. When I told Wolcott
about lior his fnco was n curious
study. IIo was generally rather
guarded in his forms of expression,
hut I thought ho spoko strongly
when ho said that if tlio Almighty
had ovor created nny greater conun
drum than a woman he liopod it
might ho kept out of his rango.
"You wouldn’t find women so mys
terious, John, if you’d consent to
study them at shorter rango." I
had frequently counseled him to
marry.
’Wouldn't I? You weren’t with
usdown in Mainowhen I had tho
smallpox?"
“No; that was after I had come
west.”
“Do you romembor Margaret
Trucsdnlo?"
“Very well."
"Wo were to lmvo been married—
well, no matter about particulars. I
came west. What can we do for
Lib?"
"Not much, I’m afraid.” She was
rather more patient and obedient
than tho men had been. At times
sho was delirious, but there woro in
tervals when sho was not so and
when she wanted to talk. From the
fittlo kitchon ono day I hoard Wol
cott say, "Elizabeth, how did such a
good sort of a woman as you ore
como to ho living os you do here?”
I had a pitcher of hot water in my
hand and stood still until it burned
my fingers to hear her answer.
"I never knowed any other way
to live. Ye don't think I'm wick-
eder'n the men ’round here, do ye?”
The answer was prompt and posi
tive, “No, I don’t."
Was this my Puritan friend?
As Lib sank under the effect of
tbe.disease and it became plain that
She must dio, the Mexican woman
who was helping to take care of her
thought that u priest should be
railed. But Lib did not want him.
She had not, it seemed, nny church
traditions, and I thought her with
out any germ of religious feeling;
but ono day she surprised me hy ask
ing (Wolcott had just gone out), “Is
God better'n him?"
"Why, Lib?”
"If he is, mebbe he’ll give me an
other chance." It seemed that the
thought had in Borne irregular fash
ion boon turning itself about in her
mind, for after a time she added:
“Mebbo he’ll bo good."
"Yob,” I said; "he’ll ho good."
“Yo know that day I met ye in
the road?” She was looking toward
the door and still thinking of Wol-
cott and a curious attempt to Bmilo
was apparent on her disfigured face.
"He thought that day that I was
worse than tho smallpox. I know
he did, bnt he’B ben good." Sho
dozed fitfully, and in one of her wak
ing moments asked, “Do ye believe
God'll take care o’ me as you two
have done?" Wolcott was standing
by her cot. He answered unhesitat
ingly:
' ‘Yes, Elizabeth. He had the kind
est words for such women as you
are. He’ll take care of you.”
“Then, mebbo I’ll have a chance.
I hnin’t had much chance bore.”
“Ycb, I’m sure there’ll he a chance
for all who want one." This was a
far broader creed than any I had
heard my friend formulate in our
frequent talkB. But he spoke sin
cerely and confidently. There was
in onr care for the sick woman not a
trace of sentimentality. She had
been of practical service to ns—had
risked her l.fe in humane work—and
none could, under the circumstances,
have done less. Our surprise was in
Beeing how quickly, in such un
promising soil, the seed of kindness
germinated, and also in witnessing
tiie feeble gropings of her spirit in
the light ot unaccustomed senti
ments. ,
A few nights later, in a stony field
beside three other graves, now
marked hy sunken earth, We buried
her. The . lantern which was held
while Wolcott read a few sentences
from the burial service shed its flick
ering light on the facesqf seven men,
five of whom were scarred and wan
from recent illness.
As he read that “this corruptible
shall put on incorruption and this
mortal shall put on immortality;” he
paused, and there waa a silence that
made us conscious of -the solemn
stars above: u*. i As we tnmed away
we saw another light—lab’s cabin
was already in flames. As John
Wolcott saw it he said loud enough
for me to hear, “Greater love hath
no man than this, that ho lay down
his life for his friend.’’—New York
