The meeting; jf the Asheville .Vlinislcrs' conference yesterday ul'U'inoon was the most important session lu-UI since the organization of t lie couleiciicc. The following memorial on Suuiluy closing of the World's I'air was adopted and ordered sent to the World's Fair commission : "The Ministers' vuiilercncc of Asheville, N. C, consisting of the ministers of this city and its immediate vicinity, believing that the opening of the gates ol the Columbian exposition on Sunday would tend to convert the day of rest into a day of labor for many, and of frivolity for many more, and that such oeninj would be an object lesson whose influence would contribute largely to public demoralization, does hereby cuter its hearty protest aaainst the opening of the exposition on that day." There were two dissenting votes on the adoption of this protest those ol Revs. Sanders and Harrows. Mr. San ders was opposed to all restrictions, while Mr. Harrows took the ground that as the exposition is held in Jackson I'nrU the park grounds should not be closed. He would like to have admis sion fees to the park abolished on Sun day. The conference committee on laws re lating to theatrical lithographs reported that there was no city ordinance relating to lewd pictures, and that, therefore, the offence would be covered only by the common law on nuisances.

The special committee appointed to look into the proposed working of the Lindley Training school in West Ashe ville, reported that its purposes were two-fold : First, the protection ot young girls in dancer of being led astray; sec ond, the reclamation ol those who have fallen. The plaa was heartily com mended, but the committee thought the provisions inadequate, as there will be room for only 13 inmates, seven or eight of whom will be iiom Asheville. The committee was continued, to confer with the managers ol the school on the mat ter of enlargement of the institution, and with the citv authorities to learn if city funds could be appropriated to the aid ol the school. A resolution was adopted requesting the citv authorities to discontinue the sweeping of the streets on Sunday. The authorities were also asked to have en forced the ordinances relating to Sunday traffic in tobacco, soda water, etc. There was considerable discussion with regard to the saloons, and a motion was passed requesting theauthorities to pass an ordinance requiring saloons to close at ID o'clock p. m.; also, it possible, to prohibit minors from entering saloons, under the penalty ol the law; also to enforce the law as regards the removal of screens from saloons.

Iiitr:Mliiiic Facts Concerning At lanla'H Water HuppI v. As illustrating the good lesultscominjj from the adoption of the metre system the folio wing extract from the lK'JL re port of the citv of Atlanta, (ia., will be of especial interest to Asheville. Th citv had a number of metres sent here last year for trial, but never used then; The report referred to says: "The metre svstcm has proved more of a success. When the metres were put in in 1SS.1 there were less than 1,500 taps in the mains that is, less than 1,500 consumers of water. The city contracted for what was estimated as a year supplv of coal in March, lKS'i. We were then pumping nearly C, 000,( o gallon of water per day and nobodygot enough water. The pressure in ttie mams wa not sufficient to throw water above tin second storv of an ordinary house. In this state of things the Kimball house burned down, and $500,000 worth projerty was destroyed. In the same neriod what is known as the block tire occurred, and over $100,00 worth of property was destroyed Other similar conflagrations occurred and the fire department was ill able to cope Wltll I. Ills QCiruL'UVC ciemim. in. j'n on the metres atid the consumption water at once fell to about 1,500,000 tr.-illons ucr day, and everybody hao nlentv of water. The remaining f.000, OOO gallons that bad been daily wasted was now saved. The pressure in the mains at once increased to such an ex tent that wc could throw six or cigh streams of water from the hydrants m the streets over the top of the tallest buildings, and from that day to this laree fires have been almost un known. And such was the saving from not having to pump the water into the city that merely ran away to useless waste, as that the coal purchased in March, 1H85. lasted ut the pumps throughout the balance of that year and all throutrh the year IKHti, and unti July. 18S7. And all the time, let it be remembered, every consumer had plenty of water." O VIS CHAU1TA1II.1.! Recorder Miller this iiioiiiiug lined oik disorderly $1.

JioiToit The Citi2En: A few days ago The Citizen called attention to ery pitiful object of charity a woman at the point of death in an old shed near the freight depot. Yesterday her child,. 3 rl-iva old. was buried by some kind- hearted railroad men. This child would orobablv have lived had it and the mother been cared for. Now the mother a not exoected to live, aud were it not for the railroad people she would have died before this for want Ol loou anu care. The case has been reported to various hen da of charitable institutions and nothing has been done by them. Those who have assisted ber thus far have de cided to continue their services ns long as needed, and not call again for the assistance of any society. If there are individuals who wish to do a really charitable deed, let tbetn enquire near the freight depot and tbey will be sure to 6nd the treasurer of this little fund. The woman has been provided with a bed and nurse and is visited twice a day by two ladies near by. I . Thrnm-h the solicitation of Rev.'T. C, Troy tbe Garrett woman, who hat been in an old shed near the depot for a rnnnlc of weeks, was today given aecom modation at the Mission hospital, where she will be cared for until sue recovers Irom her illness. What next will Mimnaagh do for tbe ladies for their convenience He hat opened in connection -with bis millinery, dress making, and dry Roods, a tonso riat parlor for ladies, lie ba secured the amices of an eiperiencd hair arias. iiwiu w i,i h" already ia that department. 1 utile AttcmptM To Iviilcr Til: Ciicarelle l-'aclorv lv Itrllierv. Several days ago a man approached Patrolman Triplctt, as well as other members of the police force, with an oiler of $10 if he or they would arrange with the night watchman of the Ashe ville To ha co Works and Cigarette com pany for his entrance to the factory, given as his reason for getting in the fact that there was a machine in tbe factory that he wished to inspect. The offer was reluscd. It is thought the man was an agent ol the cigarette trust, who wished to dis cover just what machinery was in use in the factory. The Asheville company is not in the trust and the cigarette ma chinery is, of course, out of the trust. What steps would have been taken if the man had suceeded in his efforts to enter the factory is not known. He was so an? ions to get in, however, that he begged ot sonic ot the tactorv men that he be taken through the factory bliudloldc and be allowed onlv to feel of the ni chinery. This offer was refused. livery piceaution is taken to guar this machinery and it is extremely dim cult lor an outsider to go through the cigarette department at all, so great is the distrust of the trust. rilli PEOPLE WILL TALK; AM) TUEV DO SAY ia the boss That li.

Mow, Mr. tinn Iiiit i'oR Thk Citizhn : I read Mayor Patton's letter in last night's Ci i uhn in regard to the waste of water. I have noticed for two mornings, in passing Advisor Gwyn's house, the example the Advisor uives us in wasting water. For three-fourths of an hour today his ser vaul was using the hose to water the ground in front of the Advisor's house At the same time persons in the street were suturing lor want of water. And a:tc. It is common chat ity to suppose that Advisor liwyn did not know of tbis waste of water and that he will now forbid it until the new stamlpipe is com Dieted and the new pump running at its best. lin.

The whole truth of the matter is, we must nave this roaa, let it cost what it mav. With this line completed there ia no tell ing what degree of prosperity things would reach in Asheville. Keal estate would soon exceed anything ever dreamed of in the way of values and t he place double in population ni less than bve year, lac tones of many kind would soon be established, and there is no telling tbe limit of our success in every possible and desirable way. ima is Atneviiiea opportunity, as upon ber depends the success of the movement.
