The Private Water suppley Of Congress,

How many people know that out by
the Greenough statute of Washington,
east of the @pitol,i is vast and cavern
ious reservoir? Not one in a thousand.
But there it is, down in the bowels of
the earth, and covered deep beneath
the smooth surface of asphaltum.
Away back in the '3Os congress pur-
chased spring over east of the pres
ent sight of Howard university. 1t is
now at the bottom of the unused dis
tributing reservoir, From it pipes
were laid to the capitol, and in pond
east of the building the water flowed
and was held for the use of the early
solons of the hill. In 1876 the reser-
voir was arched over and covered in:
but there it is. and if congress has been
neglectful of the citys interests as to
water supply the reason is not hard
to find. Congress has its own private
tap pipes run into the capitol furnish
idg the boilers. coolers and water for
cleaning purposes. There is an over
flow pipe that runs into the pretty lit
tie grotto below the senate wing at
one side of the main sidewalk and
tinkles over the messy bank in a nina
ture cascade.-Washington Post

Prof. John Tyndall's father was a
shoemaker in an Irish village and lived
in very humble style, occupying rooms
in the rear of his small shop. But like
many old-time cobblers he had more
than a share of learning and was witty
and sarcastic in argument. His son
was sent to the local grammar school,
and one of his old chums there was NJ.
C. Hennessey, now a Rochester shoe
manufacturer. He says that young
Tyndall was an effeminate boy, who

NOT EASILY DISCOURAGED.
The Smart Boy Was Bound to Get the
/ Old-Tlme Cat Out the Well.

AT one of the uptown grammar
schools mathematical prodigy turned
up the other day to the surprise and
establishment of the peripatetic prob
lem proposer, who for once was trip
ped up by an unsophisticated youth.
The gentleman in question called at
the school and asked permission to in
terrogate the brightest boy in arithme-
tic, and upon John being called to the
recitation bench with a huge double
slate and a brand-new soapStone pen
ell ready for the fray, the visitor
launched the following naughty prob
lem for the solution, which has done
service so long:
There is well one hundred feet
deep, into which a cat has fallen. and
every time the eat climbs up two feet
1t falls back four feet; how long will it
take before the animal is rescued from
the well? DoyOu think you can solve
this problem, John?" asked the inter-
locutor, with wonderfully wise look.
"Oh, yes, sir, | can figure that cat
out of that well sure"
SO right to work he went. and in a
lew minutes had all sides of his slate
covered with figures. A second slate
was furnished, and that was soon
filled up with computation. With a
sarcastic look, the visitor said:
John, you might as well give up
this contest, for the solution is abso-
lutely impossible"
"Oh, no, SIR" exclaimed the smart
boy. IF | can get another slate I'll
just figure that cat out of the well by
way of China. "-Philladelphia Press.

PROFESSIONAL REFORMERS.

Every city government experiences at
times ill-advised efforts at reform. Cru
sades are instituted by ministers OF the
gospel against this and that real or sup
posed wrong, and the result is almost in
variably a negative one. What is the
reason of this? It is because the move
ments are in tie hands of impracticable
men unaccustomed to the ways of great
city. Possessed of sense<of morality
and imbued with spirit of righteous
ness far above the level of ordinary men,
those ministers stubbornly insist that
this or that vice shall be wiped out at
one stroke. The result is inevitably
failure, the municipal government is
shumiliated, and the vice against which
the misguided movement was waged is
given new life and strength by the fail
Of opposition to it. But deplorable as
are these impracticable wars, infinitely
more to be deprecated are the sinister
movements of professional reformers
calling themselves reformed gamblers,
reformed drunkards, etc.
There has just left this peaoeable COM
munity an example Of the professional
reformer, man who called himself q re-
formed gambler, self-confessed hood
lum and criminal. It is 9 great credit

that crosses it's path. Here then is our
choice. We must either overl ok the
shortcomings of the party in power or
give our support to principles that have
grown old and useless III the service.
To those Democrats who are dissatisfied
with the party because of its shortcom-
ings we wish to point out the fact hat
great deal more has been accomplished
by the Fifty third Congress than we in
our anxiety for greater changes give
credit for. First the federal election law
was repealed and thereby the federal
government ap logized for the insult to
personal liberty and the sovereignty of
the Southern states. Next the Sher-
man silver law was repealed and another
form of class legislation wiped from the
statute books. And last we have tariff
bill, which recognizes the theory of tariff
for revenue with free raw material, if it
does not enact it into law
This we believe is suff oient to warrant
the people IN trusting the Democratic
party with power again and we believe
they will do it.

own confession he is naturally q Grim
inal, who has turned to other methods
only because the almost limitless gulla-
bility of human nature aft rds better
opportunity to make money than do the
roads Of crime. They are generally men
who are not intelligent enough to be
successful gamblers or criminals, men
worn out in the business or lacking the
necessary nerve to be successful. And
these are the kind of men people will
listen to and make much of. The re-
formed gambler, the reformed drunkard,
the reformed priest and the like, are al
ways great attractions because people
crave to be deceived. But when an hon
est public officer, real reformer, at
tempts reform that would be lasting he
Immediately incurs the opposition OF the
opposing political party and large por-:
ton of it's own party. A mayor who
should suppress gambling entirely in
this city would probably receive as his
reward defeat at the next election. If
the good people of this and every other
city would give their support and en-
couragement to faithful executives who
are willing to enforce the laws If the
community will only support them in
their efforts there would be some per-
manent good accomplished. For this
reason if for no other, We contend that
municipal aft airs should :bs freed from
partisan politics. Let the politicians
and professional reformer keep their
hands off, and let sincere, honest men,
and women-property owners, who take
an interest in the material az we'll as the
moral welfare Of the city-take hold, and
the result will be some permanent good.
Nothing could be more absurd than to
heed the doings of sen sational travelling
cranks who vainly go about seeking no.
toriety and gloritication.
Time after time have such men been
exposed, yet people will believe and
trust them because, like fools, they
make themselves out criminals and then
profess repentance. They
are always on hand ready to drop on any
reform movement which they think will
carry them to their own petty and sell

cRISPI ASKS FOR ASSISTANCE.

CRISPI ASKS FOR ASSISTANCE.
At last the italian government through
its premier has been compelled to look
to the Vatican FOR help. The speech OF
Cr1spi at Naples was a great surprise to
all. Crispi, like Bismarck, has said that
he would never go to Canossa and, like
Bismarck, he has lived to invoke the. aid
of the Church. The spread of socialism
throughout Italy necessitsting the use
of martial law in some districts has
scared the italian government. Within
the past twelve months Italy has be-
come the hotbed of socialism and an
archy. Catholics all over the world would
rejoice at reconciliation between the
Pope aud the Italian government. The
Italian government feels as did the Ger
man government some time ago. that it
is unable to check the spread of social
disorder. Orispi said:
Society is passing at the present mo-
ment through grievous crisis. Never
more than today did we feel the want OF
seeing the two authorities, civil and re-
ligious, marching with one accord to lead
the people in the way of justice and
charity. From the darkest abysses have
arisen an infamous sect which writes on
its flag No God, No Master United to-
day IN common recognition of a memora-
BILE period, let us form in closely serried
ranks to combat this monster, inscribing
upon our flag the motto, For God, King
and Country"
This is great back down for Crispi to
make. He has ever been the sworn
enemy Of the Papacy But now that the
propaganda of atheism is reaping it's in
evitable reward he calls upon the paci-
tying influence of the Church to prop up
q tottering government. 1t is not likely
that Leo XIII. will agree to any recon"
citation that does not carry with it a
grant of Lsonine Rome with strip ex-
tending back to the sea to the Pope.

DAVID BENNETT HILL.

The nomination Of Senator Hill by the
Democrats OF New York was the most
dramatic event that has happened in
the recent political history of this coun-
try. David B. Hill has always been
popular with the New York Democracy,
but his popularity now knows no bounds.
To those who have been pronouncing
funeral sermons over Senator Hill for
the last four years this enthusiasm is in
explicable, but to those who look closely
at the situation it is easily explained.
Hill is under all circumstances and at
all times what he has been pleased to
call himself-a Democrat. He is man
of unqueationable ability, and excellent
private life. He possesses the qualities
of true leader to such degree that he
is almost worshipped by his party in his
own state. Under all the chickering's and
party quarrels he has stood the test of
time and he is today without exception
the most popular man in the state OF
New York. He is thorough practical
politician and an organizer Of the high
est degree Of skill. To his opponents
Mr.. Hill has been great disappoint-
ment. They predicted when he was
sent to the United States senate that he
would have to take back seat there
But he soon showed himself there to be
a leader among mon. His ADVICE was
sought by the leaders of the party and
the discussion of public matters has
/ been commented upon more than those
Of any other public man e.fcept President
