WATER IS WANTED.
IT IS NEEDED FOR MANUFACTURING,
FIRE And DOMESTIC
PURPOSES.


The statement made in Yesterdays
WORLD ought to awaken the citizens
Of Martinsburg to the conviction that
something ought to be done, TO induce
manufacturers 10 come to this point.
Mr.. Kuebler fairly and squarely makes
the statement, that he cannot estab-
hsh his picture frame factory here for
the reason that he cannot secure the
necessary supply of water. This may
or may not be true, and the question
has been raised that il is very flimsy
excuse. If people are to establish man
ufactures, or build houses on the land
plated out by the Martinsburg Mining,
Manufacturing and Improvement Com
pany, it ought to stand 70 reason that
they will need water both for manu-
featuring, mining and domestic use;
and they don't want to sink artesian
wells either. Now that the Improve
ment Company has provided an cleo
trio line for the transportation Of those
residing ON, or contemplating building
on its property, the next most impor-
tant thing is water.
just as it stands now the city coun-
ell is in no position to extend water
main out to the point oflocation Of the
furniture factory and the proposed To-
cation of the picture frame factory.
There is no appropriation for this pur-
pose and more than that the NJ. M. NJ.
"a |. Co.'S addition is not within the
corporate limits. A proposition has
been made by the latter company to
the city topay6 perez on the money
invested in the laying ofthisextension,
the cost Of which isestimated at g., 800.
AIT this time no such amount is availa-
BILE and if it were it could not be used.
There is also another big important
consideration, and that's that the pres
entpressure in thecityis about as much
as the mains will stand and it win take
at least 10 or Is pounds more pressure
to force water out to the present loca-
ton Of the furniture factory. This
would endanger the domestic supply
and probably cause a good many
breaks in the city mains. Regardless
Of this manufacturers who desire to To-
cate here ought to be given some as
surance that they can get water where
they want it.

NEW coALING STATIONS.
The United states Badly In Need of the
Island of st. Thomas.
Especial to THE WoRLD.l

N WASHINGTON, Sept, 24-The subject
of coaling stations abroad is one
about which the people of the United
States will hear much within the next
few months. The administration Is
understood to believe that the time
has come for action in this direction,
especially if the United States is to
rank as the leading nation Of a great
American commercial union, such
as Mr.. Blaine had in view in assembling
the Pan-American Congress and Sc
curing reciprocity treaties with the
Southern republics. AS was stated in
The SIN Tuesday, the next opportunity
to acquire the Mole st. Nicholas will
not be allowed to go by unimproved.
The Mole St. Nicholas and SANTANA
bay are not the only places in the
West Indies that are available, how
ever, and there is reason to believe
that if favorable opportunity pre-
sents itself negotiations will be re7
opened with Denmark for the purchase
of the Island of St. Thomas, to the
eastward of San Domingo. 1t is be-
lieved that Denmark will be as ready
to sell as she was in 1867, when a
treaty Of. purchase was negotiated and
submitted to the Senate. The only
difficulty at that time. was about the
price, which was, s7l!5O0. 900. 1t is not
likely Denmark would take any less
now, and if the United States really
wants the island that would probably
be as fair 4 price as could be expected.

DULUTH, MINI, Sept. 24.--Ever
since yesterday afternoon there has
been falling in the city fine ashes and
burned leaves, while the sky is so col
ored and the sun so obscurett that the
government fog whistle at the harbor
mouth has been forced to blow toguide
in vessels. All along the line Of the
st. Paul and Duluth Railroad fires are
raging. At Barnum, Sturgeon Lake
and Kittle river fires are doing damage
to whatever of value there is. In the
standing timber near the railway, on
the line Of the Eastern Minnesota,
north Of Hinckley, considerable valu-
able timber has been ruined, and fires
are still raging ON the Northern Pacific,
east toward Ashland. The fires are
doing immense damage to settlers and
crops, besides wiping outvastquantities
of standing pipe. Near Iron. river, 80
miles east Of this city, where there are
many settlers, they are losing valuable
property while working hard to save
their homes. The immensely hot wealth
er has made the wooded regions like
finder. The range Of the fires is to-
ward Ashland, and their progress Is
aided by the fact that week ago the
heavy winds blew down much timber,
the foliage Of which has now dried out
sufficiently to aid the flames.
FINLAYsoN, MINI, Sept. 23.-This
village was thrown into the widest ex-
element yesterday by the report that
high wind storm was driving forest
fire directly towcrd the town, and com
plete destruction was threatened. Tele-
gramswere atonce dispatched the Of
ficials Of the St.Panhand Duluth Rail
road to stop the limited train going
east at Finlayson, and holdit.until~ the
women and children Of the town could
be sent away. This was done.

THERE is not a man on the Peoples
ticket that the Negro can conscientiously
vote for This was not expected of course
as the Alliance and Democratic parties
are the standing enemies Of progress,
equality and intelligence; and these are
three things that the Negro is aiming TO
grasp just at present. The argument is
often made that it il an objectionable sin
for the Negro to be partisan in politics,
but 90 long as there Is only one party in
existence that represent all that the Negro
must have to be an American either,
just so long will he be found In the repub
lican party. Scarcely day comes but
what some new reform scheme is launch
ed forth or some new party created, but
as many as there have been since the days
Of the rebellion not one OF them have
ever found 1t necessary to consider the
Negro worthy attenti on. Ana tor that
reason not one Of them should be able t.
command solitary Negro vote.

HOW ONE WOMAN PLAYS POKER
A Bit of an Error That Caused q Party to
Freak Up ia "a Spat.

A Bit of an Error That Caused q Party to
Break Up ia spat.
A type of woman to be dreaded at the
card table is the tendcr-hoartod one,
says the Brooklyn Standard Union. She
was at her best the other night when a
jackpot was to the fore and it had been
opened for twenty-five cents, Every
body was in it and everybody was pre-
pared to bet pretty heavily, when the
tender-hcartcd lady said: 'Now, chill
dren, I'm not going to let you get cheat
ed; there's no possibility Of anybody
beating my hand, and so there's no use
in my taking any more Of your money
The natural conclusion was that she
had royal flush. Had she? When that
marvellous hand that was to beat every
body was laid down it was q straight,
jack high The woman opposite her
held four aces, a man had full hand,
queen high, and another held four trays.
A madden party than this younever saw
in your life. And the woman who ia
four aces gave her friend piece Of her
mind. Said she:
when YOU don't know how to play =
game don't fool away the time and up-
set the tempers Of people who do, and
" m you arc playing cards don't set
too tc-dcr-Lcarted Keep that sort Of
feeling for the soclusion Of your family
and for your sewing society. | don't
care if you do cry; if you don't know
how to play the game you have 10 bcsi-
ness to make things uncomfortable for
v,~y,l, o~I se xv,7, v-r,v,4 r, 1z-vvv,
then you ought to be willing to endure
disappointments until you find out the
right way. You've broken up the game;
you've made everybody feel miserable;
feel as if had been a brute to you,
and yet think You are a consummate
idiot"
Then they both cried, and the men
said shev would 90 and have q game Of
billiards. And later in the evening.
when they came back. they found the
two women as friendly as possible, and
on her way home the one who had
broken MP the game said to the men
who formed her escort:
Kate is such dear thing! You know
she has a quick way of speaking, but
she wouldn't do a mean thing to save
her soul!''
And one Of the men said: by George!
that's beautiful for one woman to say
about another"
And the unlucky card player an
swered: We'll, it's true. She speaks
her mind sometimes, but tonight |
really think / deserved it."
And every man in the party posi-
lively said: You certainly did"
