being re-enactment of the bloody court house

of taxpayers ana others crushed into the county

put a revolver under the nose of the receiving
clerk and said he would shoot if the money was
not accepted and receipted for at once. The
great crowd on the ontside grew riotous and
hurled stones through the windows. One man
was knocked insensible ana two women were
crushed almost to death. A riot alarm was
sounded and a large body Of police arrived and
by vigorous action cleared the streets and
drove off the more belligerent rioters. There

BERLIN, Dec. ls.-In the reichstag today the
new commercial treaties came up on their
third reading. During the debate Herr
kardorff, who has been particularly prominen,
in opposing the treaties, again appeared in OPP
position. basing his objection upon the length
OF tme-twelve years-it il proposed TO keep
them IN operation. He spoke at some length
aud expressed fears as to the results that would
be effected by the treaties.
Chancellor Won Caprivi responded TO the ar
guments advanced by Herr hardorf. He con-
trasted the fears expressed by that speaker
with tie hopeful prospects the treaties pre-
sented.
The chancellor added that if Kerr Kardorff
failed to see the political significance of the
Mckinley bill and the pan American policy he
must decline to discuss questions of foreign
policy with him.

FILTERING THE WATER
What Capt. Lusk Says About the Old Re
ceiving Reservoir.

What Capt. Lusk Says About the Old Re
ceiving Reservoir.
The filtration of the Potomac water supply is
still the subject of much consideration by the
Commissioners and is discussed at every board
meeting. 1t is understood that the Commits
sioners will ask Congress during the presen,
session to do something in the matter.
Capt Lusk is deeply interested in the subject
and has been giving it considerable study In
conversation with = reporter Of TIE STAR to-
day he said: The suggestions that the District
undertake the entire filtration and puri-
fcation OF the water supply deserve
serious consideration. Nov, this whole
matter could be simplified considera-
bly, If tho unused receiving reservoir was put
in working order. At present this reservoir is
not used for the reason that numerous small
streams from the country thereabouts enter it,
and as they drain farm lands the water Is more
or less polluted and il il dangerous to use it.
We're these small streams diverted this reservoir
would be Of inestimable value to the people of
the District. In the first place il would be a
good settling ground for the water, and then
again should the big conduit through which we
get our entire water supply break We could
reservoir is a most important matter. Sup
pose the big conduit / refer 10 was
to break now. The consequence would be
we would have a water famine la Washington.
The consumption of water is So great that the
cost OF fltering the entire supply would be
very heavy, both for establishing the plant and
for its operation and maintenance 1 am
strongly of opinion that the first step
toward the Improvements OF our water
should be in repairing our receiving reservoir.
When this is done the turbidily OF the
water will be so much lessened that filtration
will not be necessary for many wears to come
For two years Col. Elliot has submitted esti-
mates for improving this reservoir. and there is
no doubt in my mind that the work should be
undertaken with the least possible delay"

WHERE LOVE IS SWEETEST.
Under the beautiful heavens,

Under the beautiful heavens,
Under the stars CLEAN ing light,
Into the dim of the woodland,
Into the hush of the ght;
With fingers entwined. aud with hearts
Responsive to laughter or sigh,
Roamed we at cleaning together
My beautiful sreetheait and l.
Glinted the stars DER our pathway,
Shimmered the tremulous moon.
Cleaned mid the grasses the fi:sfiies,
Katydids chirruped in tune;
Coyly the zephyrs on tiptoe
Kissed the sweet lips Of each flower
Our hearts felt the magical pulsing
OF the balny, mystical hour
Up from the grasses beneath us,
Down from the foliage above.
Borne on the wings OF tha zenhyr,
Laughed the gay spirit of love.
Heart spoke to heart in ne silence,
With fervor ia look anJ in kiss;
Coursed through our veins the hot curren
OF thrilling and rGptur nus bliss
Sweet is the rapture that thriileth
While treading the maze Of the dane.
Or sitting at night in the parlor
While quafiug the light of her glance:
Bus for rSoture and pleas ure unrivuled.
For thrills of sap-enesJ delight.
Oh give me stroll in In woodland.
