A TRIBUTE TO WOMANHOOD Last Friday, February 17th, witnessed the formal acceptance by tho United States Senate and House of Representatives of the statue of Misa Fruncesfi. Willard, the temperance advocate and founder tot the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. The statue was presented by the State of Illinois and now occupies Statuary Hall.

Deserving tribute was paid this noble woman by tbe leading men of the uation. It is the first time in the history of our country that a woman has been so signally and deservedly honored. Her life waa devoted to making better and cleaner the lives of others, and her energies and attainments found expression in the great tem? perance reform to which her life was devoted. Mist Willard was a womanly woman in the highest sense of the word, and she bas left a noble monument in many lives made better because she lived. Her life work is outlined in her own words, which are in? scribed on the pedestal of the statue unveiled, and are: "Ah! it is women who have given the costliest hostages to fortutie.

Out into the battle of life they have sent their best be loved, with fearful odds against them. Oh, by dangers tlrey bave dared; by the hours of patient watching over beds where helpless children lay; by the incense of 10,030 prayers wafted from their gentle lips to heaven, I charge you give them power to protect along life's treacherous highway those whom they have so loved." COMPULSORY VACCINATION Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court of the United States, has delivered an opinion involving the validity of the Massachusetts State law giving authority to health officers ef cities and towns in the State to impose compulsory vaccination regulations. The law was h-'ld to be constitutional on the ground thut the protection of the health of a community may be exercised by the State as a police regulation. Virginia has a similar law for the protection of her citizens, and who refuse vaccination when i rd er at! by the proper authorities are subject to fine. An example this bas been witness? ed Lemington since tlie Lexing ton Hoard of Health ordered eonpu.sory vaccination as a pre? cautionary men ts ure, inasmuch as a number of enses of smallpox are sported in varioui sections of Rockbridge.

All are in a mild form, however, and no fatalities have been reported. No cases have developed in Lexington. A news item fr jiu Onancock, that the Town Council of that place has empowered the Mayor io impose heavy fines on persons liquor ordi? nances, half of the amount to go to the informant. That seems to be a good solution to this question of the violation of the liquor ordi? nances in toual option communi? ties. It would no doubt work well in Lexington.

The difficulty here bas been in securing sufficient evi? dence for conviction. There is no question but that the law is vio? lated in many instances, and con? stantly, but the man who will illegally purchase liquor, seems to have a feeling that it would be dishonorable to testify to that effect in court. If half the fines imposed were to go to the infor? mant, all this would be changed, and such persor would soon re? port the matter for tbe benefit of the money in it. po pa Tl I'm foi Ba i mi: thi Fa net ere or sui coi tat the I wit ord qui It ii reported from Washington that Congress will not make an appropriation for tbe benefit of the a Exposition. What effect thu failure of tbe Federal government to make the appropria? tion will huve upon the success of the undeitaking ia problematical.

Cl ami fron for St'H sick certi li Aile IT Ak pow Swe; At a feb-S Nc wayi give Opposed to Lae of White and Cave Hill Spring Editor Gazette your issue of week before last I notice that a plan for increased water supply is now offored for adoption and that it is to be "Plan No. 2," as recommended by the special com? mittee, which proposes to pump the water from White's or Cave Hill springs into our present res? ervoir. As this is a matter which now and hereafter intimately con cerns the welfare of the town, each member of the community must, perforce, feel a vital interest in ir. This interest, therefore, is my only excuse for mentioning the follow? ing objections to the proposed plan.

First. Where we have abundant springs that can be used without machinery it seems most unwise to buy and depend ca machines, whether operated by water other power. The general experi? ence of wells, rams, electric lights and various water motors in this locality has not been encouraging; and, unless these proposed pumps are vastly superior to any ma hcinery yet used the en? gineers also fautlesB in operation? it will fail when most needed and will be a continual and aggravating expense to keep in repair (an item not included in tho report). Our descendants may not bless us for this incon? venience, Second. As this work will be done to stay, now is not the only time to be considered.

These springs are very near the town and if Lexington grows as it should grow, it ought to spread in just this direction so that eventually these sources of water supply will have to be abandoned. Peo? ple want to come here to live and they will come if living is found to be easy and attractive. Noth? ing is more necessary for this thai abundant, not tempor? and good plumbing, unless it may be good roads and walks all-through our beautiful country. Third. Last, but not least, an reason, perhaps sentimen? tal in this practical agc, but also economic Lom some points of view.

To putDD the water from Cave spring would mean that the spring would be closed and the hillside either blasted away or shut in from the public. If this is done it would mean the loss of i great deal of innocent pleasure ind what would pater famalias do -n -Sunday afternoons? For the pedestrian that same old Cave Spring is the only place near and attractive enough to neet the requirements of a picnic and we are all better and tronger for a day's where the economical reason in. To be sure we have two lovely larks right in the town, but we leedn't forget to appreciate our leautiful country. We have come 9 the point when we can no longer ollow the "let it go as it will" olicy in this regard. If we rould avoid future regret, we hall have-to profit by the good xiimples of Germany, France and ur own American homes which re making park reserves a matter public care.

Let us beg the good Board and ouncil to give us more water and iat right epeedjjy, but pray them ot to put in unnecessary ma tiinery, not to choose low-lying within possible infection drainage and in the direct line future settlement, and not to ike away that "not made with which cannot be given jain.

Iii observations extend over a period three-quarters of a I migb here state tbat I am perhaps the out? living person who is familiar with tin history ef the water works of Lexing? ton from inception. In the decade between 1883-1840 Lexington was supplied with watei fiona four springs within the town spring at Lindsay's corner (corner Washington and Jeffeisn streets whero a tanyard was locale which was operated by Joseph Huff man); the well-known "Back spring' ou Randolph street, which was receut ly condemned by the Lexington Boan; of Health; the Letcher spring In tht lower part of toirn situated the Letcher house on Main street, and the Spout spring In the lower end ol town at the river. The citizens In tho upper part ol town all kept water carts with barrels, and hauled water from Huffman's spring, from whicb it was pumped. barrel of water was considered eaough tor a fauilIv for one day's use. (Mod? ern cold and hot water baths were not in use in that day.

and thu ablutions of the male citizens were performed at Wood's creek and at the river.) Tbe upper end of the town at that time ended at Johnilendron's house, opposite the c3oietery. From there to Wood's creek was Taylor's grove which has long sluce been removed and the land where the grove stood is now by perhaps houses, Under these tho water question was a serious one.even at that day. The town authorities had various schemta under considera? tion. The Brushy H'll spring seemed to be the most available. Tbe matter of piping the water from tbat spring to town was considered In all of its aspects.

Iron pipes were unknown in this remote section at that period, the question of bringing the water to town In wooden pipes was seriously discussed. After mueh deliberation and correspondence, lt was finally determined lo use 4-lnch iron pipes, and a contract for their supply was made with a man by the name Aveiy of some Northern State, who after? wards became the proprietor of the great Avery Plow Works of Louis? ville, Ky. Mr. Avery brought with him to Hock bridge as his found lyman, Schuyler Bradley, who afterwards be? came proprietor of the foundry, ami who lived aud died in Koekbridge, leaving a highly respected family. Tbisloundry was located at Vesuvius near the lina of Koekbridge iud counties.

Tho furnace was then owned by the I'ryans. Tho pipes were cast horizontally, the art of casting them vertically io having been discovered. As a 'onsequetice, the pipes were thinner one side than on the other. Mr. livery did not seem to have any netliod ot testing the pipes at the oundry.

but hauled them by wa-aron Lexington, a distance ot 16 miles. after a few of them had beeu laid, hey proved to be so imperfect that hey were subjected to the severe est of being tapped all ovei with a land bininu by the engineer. In onsequence ol whicb, many of them 0 the value of of dollars, fere broken and hauled back to the mundry, which entailed a heavy loss Mr. Avery, an I which he like a ero. James Kot-kwood, who was a -bin-it maker by trade, wa-i employed the town at a good salary to exe ute the work.

The ditch for the lay ig of the pipe was feet wide and 3 deep, and the price paid for dltch ig was 12-J cents a running yard. After a time the work was com li-td nd tlie water was broug'H to -wn down McDowell i-trot-t. A liuge ov.il gathere1 lu front of the old r'ashington tavern on Main stieet, spt by Kobert McDowell, (the hcuse uw occupied by Mr. C. A.

Lacy), to itiiess the water as it spouted from pipes for the first time. Tht riler was one of the number present, The old reservoir was estimated to wasconsider 1 an ample supply for all purposes, may neie say thai the town derived a good deal of the money for defray- the expenses of the water works om a lottery conducted Under the rectlon of Fisher and Jordan- The riler Was present at the drawings more than one oSaaiion.
