ceipts for cash sent to Boston, which at
one time ave the bers some little

these receipts were looked upon
last night with contempt, aud when
the members, men aud women,
saw that they had paid in from $50 to
500, they were sore AT heart. They we re
consoled by the genial receiver, who
states that they may get back 40 or 80
per cent of the mount paid, but a prom

be "tickled to death"

THE WASHINGTON WATERSHED.

The need Of a pure water supply fol-
the city is imperative, and the soone I
the citizens become convinced Of that
fact the sooner will they cease dallying
with possible palliatives and reach the
conclusion that the only ultimate solu-
ton of the question lies in securing
water from some source that can not be
polluted. The present supply not only
is confessedly impure and many
contend that no amount of care
can prevent that condition 80
long as the water supply is taken be-
low the mill villages. The Pawtuxet
river is the natural sewer of a valley
whose population is constantly increas-
ing, and it is claimed hat the
most stringent precautions can
not prevent its banks from ulti-
mately becoming saturated with the
filth and sewage of the villages.
Filtration is an excellent plan. To
any system of water supply it would be
a valuable addition. But the theory
that purified sewage is suitable for do
nestle uses does not appeal so strongly
TO reason as the theory of purified
spring water taken at its natural source.
1t is upon the latter theory that the
committee of the Advance Club has
made "a careful examination of the stu
alton aud reached a conclusion that may
possibly offer the only solution of this
p%erplexing problem. The thought of
this committee is: LIST, that water must
be secured from its natural sources; Cd,
that the watershed lying west, south
and north of the village of Wash
ington is the only available district
that will furnish pure water enough
for the city; Sd, that this dis
trict, will supply all future wants of
the city for the next fifty years;
4th, that this land can be purchased
at a sum well within the means of the
city; and 9Th, that any damages
which the mill owners might claim
would be of doubtful validity in the
courts.
The first three of these conclusions
are undoubtedly true, and while the
fourth is uncertain and could only be
by a practical test, the last
forth as the crucial point in the
whole plan. The committee in its
report cites only cases which seem to
prove its theory. But there is a prece-
dent of a case that has been only recently
in our courts on this very point.
The Pawtuxet Valley Water Company
lsed at n time some water from Carr
pond, which is n of the sources Of the
river. Damages were claimed by
mill owners, and the decision rem |
by a legal commission placed
those damages at about $35, 000-and
that, too, though the Carr pond water
shed does not exceed one-half of one
square mile in area.
If it can be shown that in any sure
way these damages can be avoided or if |
n any way the interested parties will
guarantee that the city shall be exempt
damages, the plan of utilizing the
Washington watershed at any reason
ably economical expense should merit
he approval Of all, but if it is to
Do undertaken ut the risk of heavy
suits for damages to riparian mill
owners the plan will be of doubtful
value.

Our Annual
Opening
ChalliS
An Incompatible Exhibition of Exclusive
Productions in this most exquisite
of Dress Fabrics.

The development Of the Challis seems to have reached
its highest possibility in this seasons manufacture, and our
selections represent the very cream of them all-designs and
effects of great distinction confined to ourselves and abso-
lutely unlike the reproductions in cotton prints.
Nothing but a personal view of the display can achieve
an idea OF the marvellous variety of design. -
Everything is comprehended, from the tiniest spotted
pattern, the small "deaine" figures Of our grandmothers. to
the splendid chintz effects of latter-day popularity. The pc
cuharly soft and exquisite Persians are a conspicuous feature.
Silk warps, silk stripes, satin stripes, basket weaves and
batiste efeCts--all contribute to the exceeding beauty Of the
showing.
An early choice alone assures the securing of that indie.
scribable something which makes one summer gown distin
gushed among the many.

Recent experiments at Lynn, Ma

Recent experiments at Lynn, Mass,
recorded by the New York Press, indl
cate that electric locomotives operate /
by the trolley system are entirely pracli-
cable. The chief difficulty in the way
OF their general adoption is the great
cost Of establishing long distance lines.
The tremendous power OF these new eu.
gines of transportation was shown by
the fact that when an ordinary freight
locomotive an an electric locomotive on
the same track we're coupled together,
facing opposite directions, the steam 10.
comotive was dragged helplessly along
by its rival in spite Of its throttes being
thrown wide open. The speed OF the
electric locomotive is said to be 100
miles an hour. The storage locomotive,
equal in power and speed to the trolley
engine, has likewise been perfected, but
its cost is so muci greater thai that OF
even the trolley loco motive that its use
at present is not to be expected. These
experiments, however, point to day
when economical improvements in the
electric locomotive will enaole it to sup
plant the steam railroad engine.

The New York World says

The New York World says "The
romance of General Kirby Smiths life
had its origin at the first battle OF Bull
Run, where he was badly wounded, a
musket ball passing quite through hin
from shoulder to shoulder He lay help
less on the ground until some soldiers,
attracted by the whinneylng Of his
horse, which stood over him, came and
bore him to shelter. He was then taken
to Lynchburg aud nurSed there by
Miss Seldeu, who brought him blck to
health and soon after wards beam, his
wife. In later days, at s Slreveport, in
1864, General Smith could be seen hoe.
ing little patch OF ground to raise
vegetables for his wife, wno had become
an invalid, aud that same year he sold
his faithful horse, which he loved next
to his wife, III order to procure food for
her. General Smith was a man OF CON
spicuous honesty. When the war was
ended and be was fugitive on his way
to Mexico he borrowed dollar here and
there to obtain means to send his family
home, though he had with him at the
time $40, 900 in gold belonging to tho
Confederacy.

Admiral Gherard, on behalf Of the United

Of foreign powers for cOurtesic, extended
when our men were in their domain, eSpe-
cislly during the Paris exposition, Admiral
Ghcrardi thought 1t would be a fitting and
timely opportunity to make some slight re-
turn.
He broached the subject to number OF
the American officers, and they adopted the
plan with enthusiasm. Every one Of them
had teen thinking up ways and means Of
entertaining the 70 cigner-, but the admiral's
plan met all requirements for the present
Admiral Ghcrnrdi then communicated
with President Chauncey NJ. Depew of the
New York Central railroad, asked If he
could get transportation. Mr.. Depcw
promptly replied that he could for as many
rs desired to 20, and furthermore that the
transportation would be free to and from
Chicago, and that the finest cars on the road
would be placed at the disposal of the party
at whatever time 1t suited them to start.

depot and expressed himself a, being de-
lighted to have an opportunity of Icing OF

came out with an anniversary number Of 30
pages, commemorative OF Its Goth birth

Herald issued Columbian edition of 90
pages, including cOlored cover. These
were the largest papers ever issued in New

editions OF 60 pages are not uncommon.
The expense incurred in preparing such a
sheet as that OF the Herald on sunday last is
something enormous. OF course | have nc
authentic data from which to give accurate
figures, but from general knowledge of the
newspaper business | should say that the
Herald did not eXpend less than s2j, 900 on
this edition alone. 1t was great bit OF
newspaper enterprise, and one which Will
probably never be surpassed in New Eng

in several colors, with chromatc effects,
