The Prof Tarr Benefit FUND.


A little more than two years ago it became
evident that the work of Prof F. d. Tarr
was done, and many Of his friends thought
that his long service in the public schools of
the State, and his brave fight against physi-
cal disability, justified an effort to secure
him home in his old days. At the meet
ing of the Teachers Association in Septem-
Der, 1886, a committee was appointed to look
into the matter ofthe "Aged Mems Home"
The committee found it impossible to Sc
cure him a place in one Of the cheaper
homes, owing to the fact that they required
the applicant to be resident Of the city IN
which the home was located, ard it selected
the Aged Mems Home in Baltimore The
charge for admission was $500 and OUTFIT and
$40 thereafter for residents Of the State but
non-residents of the city.
Prof. Tarr was boarded in Maryland for a
year, in order to secure him residence The
work of securing funds was accomplished
bv means of lectures and contributions, and
s36ozs aud large outfit were contributed.
Owing to the fact that the money paid for
board had diminished the funds in hand, It
was decided best to have Prof Tarr negotiate
loan for the balance that was necessary,
SIS, trusting to the institutes, his friends and
some promised lectures, to pay this amount
at maturity. On ARRIVING at the Home, 1t
was stated for the first time that the $50
would have to be paid in advance. There
was sas.s SIS in hand, the remainder was ad-
yauced by the treasurer of the fund.
The total amount yet necessary for the full
and clear establishment of Prof Tarr in his
home. is 500. .o5. Tho teachers Of the State
desire to return thanks to their friends who
have so literally aided them by lectures and
contributions of money and clothes. Below

THE GAMBLERS MUST GO.
The Police Make One Raid, and Will Follow

When the police force was reorganized, on
Monday Superintendent Travis instructed the

expect that every gambling den in the city
would be broken up soon possible. Ser

that the game was always running,

ABOUT DAMS.
The Pressure Depends Entirely on the Depth
of the Water.

Engineer Church. talking to reporter yes
terday, said that there was not the shadow OF
doubt that the new dam at Quaker Bridge would
be strong enough to Withstand any strain that
could possibly be brought to bear upon it.
'.Myself and consulting engineer A. Ftely,"
he said who have planned the whole structure,
have based all calculations upon making
dam with a factorsof two-that is, have
made 1T strong enough to Withstand just twice
the strain that it is expected to have to bear.
From fourteen to sixteen tons to the square
foot is the pressure that calculated the dam
would stand. OF course the pressure depends
altogether upon the depth of the water The
volume that will be confined behind the dam
has nothing to do with it. Theoretically. if we
should build two dams like this an inch apart
and should fill the space between them with
water. they would have to bear just as much
pressure as this one will with all the 40 0000 00
900 of gallons of water behind it."
eff the Sun prints such a statement nine
tenths of it's readers will call it nonsense"
Nevertheless it is the literal truth. The
pressure depends entirely upon the height of the
stronger banks to hold the Alta ntic ocean than
it does the Hudson river. If you had to build
dam in proportion to the bulk of water it had to
hold. the isthmus of Panama would be about as
good a cardboard dam UP at Quaker Bridge.
Nobody need have the slightest fear of the water
supply of New York breaking loose and
coming down by the way of the Hud-
instead of the aqueduct, if
there should ever be twice much water as
estimate confined behind the dam. Why,
even if an earthquake, which, of course, isn't
among the poss bilities, should break the dam,
it would only let the water run out through the
crack. The dam would stand there just the
same. 1t will be just like solid mass of rock.
as indestructible though nature. instead of
man, had welded it into the mountain on either
side
s.What will all this cost9"
sour estimates for the actual construction Of
the dam are So 000 000 That will cover it, and
it may cost less. The contract for the big dam
at Sodom has just been let for great deal less
than estimates, and that has been the rule
on the aqueduct work. There will be damages
to pay for land flooded and other expenses con-
nected with the dam that will amount to a
good deal, but of course fair estimate of
them can be made ahead. The dam will be the
great expense and that we figure down
pretty Closely

but that is more uncertain. 1t depends good

They may get the latter. but to SECURE the former
