Tho city spends J000 pox day for a water supply for Its 40,000 Inhabitants, giving an aver ago of nluo gallons per capita dally.

A Russian company has offered to build tho water works for $515,000, or a llttlo more than tlio new city pays for water.

CITY TO BE WITHOUT WOMEN. None Will Be Allowed la Utah Town to lie Founded by Celibate. The "City of Celibates" Is to bo founded within a fow miles of Provo, Utah. That at least is tho impression of attaches of tho American bouse, who were on duty when a picturesque party of foreigners arrived and regis tered. These men, eight in number, aro looked upon ns tho founders of this new city, which will allow no woman within its walls, says tho Denver Post. About 2 o'clock this morning a party of men, much resembling Italian brig ands as portrayed In comic opern, en tered tho American house. They had gold rings In their oars, woro shirts of a spectacular hue, corduroy suits and wide-brim med hats. Ono man, who was civilized up to tho chin that Is, clad in modern American fashion ap peared to bo in charge. Ho put tho following names on tho register, his own being first: John Ilubnlo, Peter Yovanovlch, I.uka Tomaservlch, Luko Yocacerlc, Luko Yovanovlsh, Vnso Yovaccric, Mi ter I.ukslclc and another that was Il legible. Uubalo did not say whence the party came, but it was gleaned from ills conversation that all had Just come from Ellis Island undor his guidance. Uubalo was not inclined to be com municative, but he said enough to fos ter the Impression that ho headed a llttlo colony that was going to locate near Provo. Tho sturdy sons of sunny Italy with him would form the bono and sinew of tho colony, and there would bo no women allowed within its purlieus. Ono of tho Yovanlch broth ers, it seems, had been deceived by a woman back In Italy and, drawing a number of his friends nnd relatives about him, decided to go to tho new world nnd found n microcosm whoro the foot of woman would never be al lowed. Nothing was said directly about naming It City of Celibates, but from tho conversation of the party that was tho Inference D0N8 A 8EC0ND.HAND ROBE New Justice In t-uprarae Court 'Wears an Old Oowu Whan laatallert. Ono of tho strango customs of tho United States Supremo Court Is that a now Justice, on his Induction Into ofllec, always wears an old robe. No one can glvo any good reason for the custom, yot It is rigidly adhered to. Although tlio robes are of black, thcro Is no law requiring that this huo bo used. Tho chief Justice could with Impunity en ter tho court room attired In a bright yellow robe,. But nothing but black would bo In keeping with tho solemnity of tht court and Its proceedings. A. woman makes tho robes, and tho price is Invariably $100 each. Bho is a specialist In this lino of tailoring and know the details so well that tlio lit Is tho only thing which gives her cus tomers concern. Tho robes are worn off the bench oidy when tho court Is tnklng part In somo otllclal ceremony. They may bo worn to an ofllclal funeral. They aro always used by the court at the presi dential Inaugural ceremonies, on which occasion tlio chief Justice administers tho oath of offl co to tho now President. In the robing room Is a portrait of John Jay, tho first chief Justice, attired In a robo with scarlet facing, but such a robo Iiob not been seen In tho court room during tho past 100 years. Tho walls of this room aro hung with now and second-hand robes, giving the place a somber appcaranca. In earlier times tho Justices woro wigs and kneo trousers. Tlio luwyorn woro required to appear before court In full suits of black, wltli milled shirts, kneo trousers, silk hoso nnd low shoes with ailvor buckles. A black frock coat Is now tlio only dlstlnctlvo nrtlclo of dress worn by tho liar, though no form of dress la now obligatory, That Altered tho Case.
