TIE WATER QUESTION.
An Improvement in the Northern Section
what Ideut, Hoxie Saws IL tho Cause.

An Improvement I'm the Northern Section
What Lieut.. Ho1io Says is the Cause.
When the subject of the scarcity Of water
was first touched upon by The REPUBLIcAN
IL was in the interest Of tho citizens who suf-
fered from the insufficient supply. The COM
plants which were published were all from
the official files Of the water office, and COW
cred period of over two years. The object
has been attained in great degree, the OWL
having been much lessened, and the higher
portions Of tho city now receive enough
water TO supply the actual necessities of life.
IL is said this Is due TO stopping the waste OF
water in the government parks and build
ings, and 10 is claimed that ifno private waste
were to be allowed the matter Of sufficient
supply would be settled.
The following interview with Lieut.. Hoxie
is interesting at this time
"What stops have been changed to bring
about sufficient flow of water in the north
ern part of tho city2" asked a REPUBLICAN,
representative of Lieut.. Il. l.. Hoxio yester-
day.
"None of thom," was the reply
" But why Is the flow now so suddenly suf-
ficient2n
Simply because the excessive waste on
the lower levels has been stopped. This has
been effected by the prosecution Of every of
fender no matter who he may be, and il the
police court will only continue to sustain US
there will be no difficulty"
II is said that a number of additional war
rants have been issued from the police court
against persons charged with needlessly vast
ing Potomac water, and as the law has been
rigidly enforced in the cases already brought
before the court. it is thought that 1t will not
be long before there will be a decided abate-
mcnt in the matter of wasting water.

as soon rs he began To spcak-oh, the mig hty

1t Is with pleasure We note the unanimity
with which our neighbors up the street agree
with the position taken by the FREE TRkpER
that while there 10 q full line Of cheap and
serviceablc goods to be found at Fiske Il
Beem's, there is also a. fine selection OF the
best grade Of gentlemen's clothing adapted
to every class in life, as can be found in the
country. not excepting New York or Chica-
20. No one will presume to dispute this fact
who will take the same trouble TO examine
Fiske i Beem's stock, that the several repor-
tiers have. II there has been anything in
these columns in the past few weeks that
would indicate that Fiskc & BEEN did not
keep as cheap line OF goods as anyone else
We desire to remove that impression. Our
aim was to maintain that their stock COM
prlsed the very best and finest as well as the
ordinary, and that the better grades were in
the end the cheapest to buy because Of the
actual service to be obtained as well as the
better appearance given the wearer. We do
sincerely advise anyone who have yet to pur-
chase clothing to give them call and be
personally convinced.
