1hE PIeoenC rams come very OppOr-
tunely and New York city is especially
relieved by them. There has been some
thing like panic there over the water
question, the reserve supplies being SO
nearly exhausted that another rainless
fortnight was expected to leave the reser-
voirs dry. AS yet the streams have not
been much helped by the rainfall, but
when the dry ground has become satur-
ated they will swell in volume, and
probably the danger of water famine
has passed for the season. The lesson
taught should suffice to awaken every
community to the consideration of a
more abundant water supply and Ian
caster among them.
NOBLE gains strength steadily with the
progress of the campaign.

A Rear Loose.

This morning as Tom Daily and ''Burt"
Reinhart entered the opera house, they
discovered the place in possession of one Of
Frank Frayne's bears, who had torn loose
during the night. The bear wanted no
dead heads in the hall, and he compelled
them to leave. They afterwards returned
with his keeper and found him up in the
flies taking a nap. He was caught and
again placed in the cage.

The New school buildings.

The District Commissioners yesterday adj
dressed u communication to the board OF
public school trustees, stating that they
have discovered that it would be impossible
to perfect the title to n portion of the lots
on the northeast corner of square 52o, Third
and G streets, in time for the erection of II
school building thereon. The Commits
sioncrs have, therefore, accepted the offer OF
the site on northeast corner of square 80,
corner of Tenth and II streets northwest, as
suggested in their letter of the Nth in
slant. and have notified Mr. Edward Clark,
the architect, to prepare at once plans ana
specifications for buildings to be erected on
the sites in squares 375 and 625. The Com
missioners take this occasion to inform the
board that they have not yet been furnished
with plans and specifications, approved by
the board, for the High School building, as
required by the act of March 3, 1881, and
suggest, in order to save time, that the
committee on buildings and repairs
or special committee be invested
with full power to act finally for the
board in all matters pertaining to the cree
ton of the several buildings provided for in
the act which requires that all of the build
ings shall be contracted for before the LIST OF
September next. 1t is, of course, impossible
for the Commissioners to contract for the
buildings until they arc furnished with the
plans ana speclncatl0ns, approved Ny th'
board, as required by the law. letter was
sent to Architect Clark on the same sub
ject, notifying him that the Commissioners
had selected the sites above-named for the
two new school buildings The appropria
ton is $4,000, and the cost of the lots
$4,000, leaving 81 900 for the erection o
the buildings. They ask that Inc will fur
nish, as soon as practicable, plans and speci
fications for these buildings, to be submitted
to the Board of School Trustees for thei
approval, as required by law.

upon his Office No one entered more heart
ily into the pleasures of our German citi-

mcnt had, in fact,
A GERMAN ANNEX IN ABNER's MUSIC HALL,
on L street, opposite his Office, and he was
a daily witness from his window of the live
affection for Germany displayed by citizens
of America. He then went on to speak Of
the favorable relations between this coun-
try and the Faderland, of the great com
mcrcial benefits and the results of German
immigration to America. His speech was y
gem in its way and was thoroughly appre-
ciated.
District Attorney George b. Corkhill was
called upon to respond to the next toast.
"Thc ladies: Our best friends, they never
90 back on us; we often on them! God
bless them"
The Colonel was little bit confused
when this matter was sprung upon him, ana
when gentlemen sitting near him exclaimed
ooh. George!" his manner was that OF a
man who realized that 1t was put-up job
But he delivered a very pretty little speech,
and in his pcasantest mood, and when he
sat down there were many who regretted
that he had ceased speaking. The last toast
was ms follows:
"The Press: Better a mess of pottagc and
our daily, than stalled OK and no ncws
sometimes sensational, always interesting
il is, after all. the sheet anchor of our lib
erty"
The first to respond to this was Capt. |. N
Burritt, of the Sunday Herald. lie rehearscd
one of his forthcoming editorials very
neatly, and retired to give place to Major
Havcrcomb, of the Journal, who responded
in German. The banquet closed shortly
afterward and the participants proceeded tt
other scenes to finish what had commenced
and certainly terminated Il pleasant even
ing's entertainment.
