.4 PUBLIC BENEFIT.
The train stopped at Pntuey. The
The special meeting of the city ' tall, slim young man rose, and open
council last evening for the pur-' in .th.e dor f ih carriage, said:
.,r i - i -i- r i "This is my station. I was weaned on
po.e of conaidonng the proposition of , three-card monte several vears ago."
Snuitiug a new franchise to a water The trio who remained m the car
company was of great value, and the riage looked at one another until the
discussion of the matter should not be
allowed to rest Many important
points were brought up and valu
able suggestions offered.
Everybody knows more than any
body. It is only by a full, free and fair
discussion of public matters of such
vital interest to the future welfare of
the city that the best plan of opera
tion can be decided upon.
Last night's meeting demonstrated
the fact that the preponderance of
opinion favors the owning and con
trolling of the city's water works by
the city.
There is this to be said against
granting a franchise to supply the
city with water:
It is difficult, if not impossible, to so
restrict the corporation that they can
not to a considerable extent defy the
laws that were made to control them.
Those who are in favor of granting
a franchise to a water company say
tint the" company should be so bound
and restricted that the city will not be
tha victim of a greedy monopoly.
The city is now suffering from re
stricted water, which is quite a differ
ent thing.
It is believed by many that the price
of water has not been sufficiently re
stricted: that it comes too high, while
others living on the hill, aud the chil
dren at the Court street school tbiuk
that it doesn't come high enough.
But, really it seems as if the water
was very cheap considering how scarce
it is.
So it appears that the first necessity
is more water.
The inhabitants or this city may
be able to struggle through the moist
season with the present inadequate
supply, but the prospect of going
through another summer and fall in
this way is appalling.
The city should own its water
works.
Bruimrun women arc always at a
premium, but it was left for the genius
or a Macon man to offer a prize for a
homely woman. Ho offers 2,000 for
the homeliest woman in Georgia who
will ride on his display wagon or lloat
during the trades display parade at
the State Fair.
Woximnprt, indeed, is the record
or the Cnuard Steamship Company,
which employes over 10,000 men and
has Ikjcu in existence forty-four years,
carrying millions of passengers, yet
has never lost a single vessel nor a life
through accident.
-THAT FELLOW IS A YANK."
Story ir a Three-Card 3Ionte Game on a
Road Ont From London.
2fot long ago a tall,slimly-built, fair-;
couiplcxioncd, brown-haired young
man entered a first-class carriage on
the Liondon and Southwestern rail-:
way at "Waterloo station. He stuck
his umbrella in the rack, opened his
favorite paper and began to fill him
self with information. He looked up
as the door was opened by a modest
looking gentleman who murmured
beg pardon,' as he passed to the cud
of the carriage and ensconced himself
in a set near the window. The door
opened again. The new-comer looked
liken conutry curate. He sat him
self down opposite the modest-looking
gentleman and looked out of the
wiudow as if he were greatly
interested in the advertisements
which met his eye. The door opened
again. The newcomer looked
like a well-to-do farmer. He
sat down alongside the modest-looking
gentleman. The train started. The
modest-looking gentleman suggested
that he had at various periods of his
life and under a large variety of cir
cumstances observed worse weather.
As he made this observation he looked
at the country curate. The latter, in
a hesitating way, agreed that there
must have been at various periods of
England's history worse weather than
he saw in liis vicinity at that particu
lar time. The well-to-do fanner joined
inthe conversation with a growl. It
might be fine enough weather for peo
ple who had nothing to do, but it was
death to the crops. The modest-looking
gentleman seemed surprised to
hear this, and assured his audience
that he was perfectly wDling to be
soaked through and through if the dis
comfort attached to such an expe
rience would be of any value to the
rural population.
The conversation then became gen
eral, but at the end of ten minutes
ilnggod. Then the modest-looking
gentleman drew from a pocket a pack
of cards and amused himself by toss
ing three of them about in an appar
ently aimless way, talking to himself
as he did so. The well-to-do farmer
stood this sort of thing for a few min
utes and then asked what the game
was. The modest looking gentleman
said it was a little invention of his
own. The point was to guess the po
sition of n certain one of the three
cards the queen for instance. The
well-to-do farmer, after noticing that
it -was possible to see the faces of the
cards while they wcro being manipu
lated, said he could place the queen
for a "quid." His offer was at once
accepted. The well-to-do fanner won,
apparently much to the chagrin of the
modest-looking gentleman. The lat
ter lost three sovereigns in quick suc
cession, and tho caso with which the
well-to-do fanner pocketed the same
excited the curate, who finally ven
tured to wager a sovereign thatlie could
place tho queen also. He did so twice,
td became quite hilarious as he fin
gered his easily acquired gains.
All this time the tallj slim young
aura had been rending his paper. He
kudn't once looked at the game.
Finally tho well-to-do farmer nudged
bim and whispered that there was a
ctaficc to make a few sovereigns.
The yoang man paid no attention to
the advice. Then tho curate sug
gested that it seemed like flying in
lite face of Providence not to accept
suck a chance. Still the young man
proved obdurate. The modcst-look-
in gentleman tlien came to the front.
He had lost 5, he said, but still be
bad confidence in bis invention. He
was willing to -wager any reasonable
amount of money that the tall, slim
young man could not place the nneen.
When the young man paid no atten-
non uie inouest-iooking gentleman be
; came indignant, and was supported by
i the well-to-do farmer aud the curate.
modest-looking gentleman broke the
silence with the remark: "That fel
low is a yank and probably chucks
the cards himself." London Edition
of the Herald.
A gentleman who wrote concerning
the price of board in a country town
is said to have received this telegram
in reply: "Board S20 a week, includ
ing washing up the carriage and piano
agent. Robinson." He wrote in an
swer that, though both agent and car
riage needed cleaning, he was not ac
customed to such charges in a board
bill, and soon after learned that the
original copy had run thus: "Board
S20 a week, including washing, use of
carriage and piano. Agnes Bobinson.
