THEY WILL REBUILD AT ONCE.
Reform School Trustees Have COM
menced Work on the Burned Cot
tage.

Wnen the new dormitory of the State Re-
form School was destroyed by fire last June
IL was feared that nothing could be done
toward rebuilding until after the next meet
Ing OF the legislature on account of a lack Of
iunds. The legislature last winter appro-
priated the sum necessary to keep the school
IN operation for two years, leaving nothing
Ior contingent expenses. After the fire the
trustees examined the ruins and came to the
conclusion that If the work of rebuilding
could be begun at once much OF the materia
OF the old building could be saved There
was some doubt as to whether the governor
and council would audit the bills If the mon
ey designed for the running expenses of the
school should be diverted to paying builders
plils. AT the Invitation of the trustees and
the council committee on Reform School the
governor and council visited the school and
viewed the ruins. They became convinced
that the position Of the trustees was well
taken and that much might be saved to the
state II the work were taken in hand at
once. Accordingly the council voted to
leave the matter In the hands of the trustees,
knowing that that was equivalent to an or
der to 60 ahead and rebuild.
The trustees have made the necessary ar
rangements and the work of rebuilding has
commenced. The fire did not touch the boil
ers nor the most of the steam heating appar-
atus, the chimney is still standing and
thousands of the bricks have been cleaned
and can be used again. The new building
will be some IA feet shorter than the old. but
of the same general design. The old build
ing accommodated so boys; the new one will
be built for 80.
The trustees expect to entirely rebuild the
building within their appropriation, and to
save to the state $500 at least by doing the
work now instead of waiting two years with
the material exposed to the weather.

a REEKuxo MASS OF FILTH.
Spring Tides Pill the Pond In the
Oaks With Sewage Waste
and Slime.

It has been rumored about the world for
many years and by most people accepted as
fact of science. that water cannot run up
hill This city, however, is experiencing a
reversal Of the old time notion, and is enjoy
ingl the luxury of land-locked salt water
pond at the same time.
1t is the period Of so called spring tides at
present. at which times, the moon being
nearly full and constantly growing, the tides
rise higher and higher, sometimes submerg
ing low wharves. We have yet to learn of
any sunken wharves, but the sewers that
should discharge into the harbor are not do
ing business as they should. Some OF them
are standing still land gradually filling up.
and others are flowing backwards. or up hill,
at slow rate. bThis is the cause Of the vile
odors that are waited up from culverts and
sink spouts In all parts of the city.
The cause of the particularly intense
"Back Bay" smell that is sped on the breeze
from the north side of the city, is the same
thing In slightly different form.
Last Friday the water was shut off from
the pond in the Oaks, and it was allowed to
gradually drain itself dry through the dis
charging sewer at the lower end. There
was good fall Of water, and the bottom of
the pond was soon visible In various places.
Early yesterday morning, however, there
came change Ger the spirit Of the dream.
The water stopped flowing out Of the pond.
1t stood still, then Ibegan to flow back into
the pond from the flats and from Back Cove.
As the tide rose higher itran in faster, until
OF y.nn vvoc riuu In mil
and the pond was fast assuming the appear
ance of that portion Of Back Bay between
the Marginal Way and the slope Of Munjoy
Hill. commonly known as 1.-THE place "over
back Of the jail"
This is very unfortunate. The liquid
which has fillei the pond up is called, by
courtesy. water, but 1t is a liberal poetical IL
cense. 1t is Of the stuff that fevers are
made of,-rank sewage and poisonous dregs
from the sheepskin shops on the shore of
Mil Greek, and it cannot fail to be injurious.
The spring tides will last several days longer
and there seems no reason why the pond
should not empty and fill with the rise and
fall of the tides SO long as the water stays at
its present abnormal height.
After the water falls the bottom of the
pond will be left bare and reeking with
slime. and ir will be long time before it is
pure and clear as 1t has been during the
summer.
Mill Creek also overfowed Its banks and
spread coating Of filth over the low ground
lying around the lower end of the Oaks, ex-
tending as far as into the main entrance to
the park.
The attention Of the city officials has been
they succeed In clearing the sewage out Of
the pond they will place some kind of
swinging gate at the sewer outfall, which
will allow the fresh water to run out, but
which will shut down over the opening when
the salt" water Of the cove starts to back
up as 1t has now.

My ultimate question has been simply
that of service to Christ and His kingdom:
fulness, here ana there.

1t seems proper that should say in this
connection that preached for the Park Av-

ment there are only four. eligible to member
