Historic Articles to BE Seen Mt the
Business WOman's Club.
The Business Womans Club has arranged
q most interesting exhibit of curios at their
handsome club rooms, COG 18th street. which
will repay visit. A beautiful embroidered
silk petticoat, worn by a lady in waiting of
Elizabeth, queen of England, attracts much
attention, while plate belonging to Marie
Antoinette, bought at an auction sale of the
contents of the palace at the time of the
French revolution, is a touching reminder of
the beautiful, unfortunate queen. A solid
silver cup of Thomas Jefferson, with the
Rose coat-of-arms on its face, reminds US of
our early history, while a plate of White
House china, used by President Madison, is
of especial interest, as 1t was sent by Dolly
Madison with fruit cake made by her own
fair hands, as birthday gift to her girlhood
friend, Dolly Payne Doyne, whose portrait
is also to be seen among these rare articles.

A black letter book of 1872 and day book
of Anne of Brittany keep company with an

trimmed with Rawlings of the SasheS of

May Be a Herdic Line.
Speaking to a Star reporter this after
noon of the discrimination by the Belt
Line Railroad Company Of Its belt line
feature, a prominent citizen of South
Washington stated that it would result in
the establishment of herdic line in and
out of South Washington, which would, he
believed, result in a great financial loss to
the Belt Line Company.
The South Washington man considered
the change particularly unjust to the peo-
pie of his section of the city, and that it
would be discrimination which they would
resent by the establishment and exclusive
patronage of a herdic line.

N THE CONTRACTORS FAVOR
Long Standing Dispute Decided by
Assistant Controller Bowers
The Case Was the Furnishing of
Water, by Well, to the Troops
at Fort Myer.

Assistant Controller Bowers has srs-
tanned the action Of Assistant Secretary
Doe Of the War Department in the long
standing controversy between the officers
of the quartermaster' department and Mr..
Levi Maish Of this city, who was given the
contract for driving well to supply Fort
Myer, Va, with water. In 1893, after sew
eral biologists had pronounced the forma-
ton within the Fort Myer military reserva-
ton of such character that water could
not hope to be obtained from driven we'll,
Levi Maish entered into contract with the
Quartermaster's department by which he
agreed to supply Fort Myer with at least
$4,000 gallons of water per twenty-four
hours for the sum of 5000. Under the
terms of this contract this sum was TO be
paid only in case of success, and he was to
have the privilege Of sinking one or more
wells in making the attempt. After an at
tempt made in 1894, when the well was
driven to a depth of 400 feet, had failed. the
location was changed and second attempt
was made, from which. at depth of about
20 feet flow of over 100000 gallons Of water
per twenty-four hours was obtained, as
shown by a test conducted for eight hours OF
continuous pumping, under the supervision
of Lieut.. Macomb of the United States army.
Before this test was completed, however,
this well, for some mysterious reason,
ceased to flow, and it was currently re-
ported that some malicious person had
dropped cannon ball down the pipe, thus
preventing further tests at this well.
BY this time the time limit in the con-
tract had expired and the acting secre-
tary of war, in view of all these circum-
stances, extended the contract to June so,
1898. Prior to this extension, however. the
contractor had proceeded with the third
attempt to sink well, and lad been Or
dered off the reservation by the military
authorities as a trespasser, upon the
ground that the time within which the well
was to be sunk had expired. They over
locked the fact, however that this limita-
ton of time was only applicable, in case
the well was not completed through any
held that under the circumstances Of this
due diligence.
The third well. sunk over 200 feet, was
also tested by Lieut.. Macomb in July. 1895,
as to quantity, and subsequently by DR..
New of the Army Medical Museum as to
quality. This well has been found, after
several months test, to average at least
10000 gallons per twenty-four hours which
is 10000 gallons in excess of the contract
requirement, ard DR.. New has pronounced
the quality exceptionally Sood-far better,
in fact, than that supplied to the city of
Washington. Consequently, the efforts tina:
have been made to obtain water from the
Potomac for the post will not now be nee
essary, as the post seems TO be adequately
supplied with water from this well, and the
long controversy has come to an end by a
decision in favor of the contractor.
