ICE TUGS NOT YET SECURED.

Harbor Master Sutton returned yesterday
from Baltimore. He did not succeed in max
ng contract for the use of tug TO assist
in breaking the ice in the Potomac as was
expected, but says if the appropriation is
made he has no doubt Of ultimate success.
When his attention was called 10 the fact
that delegation Of river men, composed OF
Capts. Taylor, Robertson. Milstead, and
Gummell. had been 10 the District building
in the interest of the local boats. Mr.. Sutton
said he was anxious as anybody to employ
Washington people for all classes OF work,
but he cited the fact that three of the boats
named by the delegation are. according to
his Information. now iceboand in the
Wicomico River, and that, so far as he knew,
neither OF the others would be available.
Some Of them are not equipped with plows
necessary 10 do such work. and that IN his
Judgment the boats are too light. He is
quite willing, however. to have the work
done by home boats, if it is possible for them
TO accomplish II.
Mr. John c. MCGOWAN submitted a plan of
his to the Commissioners yesterday evening,
which he thinks will solve the ice gorge prob-
lem at much less expense than Is proposed by
Others.
The plan is to remove any possible gorge
by means of an ascension torpedo, the ap-
plcation of which he explained at great
length. 1t IS an invention of his own, and he
saws he is willing to test il by trial at Fort
Washington, which, il unsuccessful, will cost

One More Appeal to Congress
For Increased Water Supply.
IMPERATIVE NECESSITY URGED
Agitation of Ways and Means for Removal
of Ice from the Potomac Channel-vari-
ous Suggestions Considered-Medical So
ciety Amends Pending Medical Bill
Licenses Approved and Rejected.

The necessity for prompt action by Con-
gress for the increase Dy some means of the
water supply of the District is so urgent
that the Commissioners have resolved to
make one more effort TO have the appropria-
ton made for raising the dam at Great
Falls.
II will be remembered that the House in
cluded in the bill the item asked for provid-
ing for the Improvement, but the Senate
struck it out and substituted simply system
of investigation of the water supply. which
puts of for TWO years the acquisition of
greater facilities.
As the question now stands the feasibility
and propriety Of completing the tunnel con-
duit are TO be ascertained and a general re-
port made which shall include 1.-THE results as
to the supply OF water TO the city, when the
dams. conduit, and reservoir contemplated
are completed.
Meanwhile the water supply is said to be
growing smaller by degrees and beautifully
less" and the Commissioners will ask as a
special favor that permission be granted them

restoration OF the item for raising the dam at
Great Falls

Major Overton's eyelids fell in sleep.
Two hours later, robed all in white,

her mother had made her bridal vows.

summer winds laughed softly through

and white August lilies.
Stretched helpless upon a rich faded
couch, Major Overton looked through
tears at the last of his line, given thus
at his own wish into the keeping of her
hereditary enemy. But they were not
bitter tears. Though Dare's eyes were
modestly downcast, happy bushes chased
one the other eloquently over her face.

that had never quailed he half raised
himself, laid his hand ON Dare's head
and said, with clear distinctness, "God

"Amen" said the minister, and every
listener only echoed it. Then solemn

Outside thrush began singing loud and

ing gold nugget weighing seven
pounds recently found in the Stanly
county mines. : 1T was beauty and
no mistake. I had it in my own
hands," said Mr.. Pemberton, "but
this is nothing new in our country ;
for gold nuggets are our most plentiful
currency, and our hills are full Of them.
This was, however, one of the largest
nuggets ever found in the section. 1t
is pure gold and was worth 1900" "
Mr.. Pemberton stated also that
considerable gold was being found
every day on this and other North
Carolina gold properties in Stanly,
Rowan, and Cabafrus counties. The
nugget was found in the Ingram mine
near Albemarle. In this connection
it is worth knowing that the largest
nugget ever found was in Australia
weighing 62 pounds and that in North
Carolina a nugget was once found
weighing 27 pounds. Mr.. Pemberton

talking about. He is Special Gauger Of

A Philadelphia Man Is Concerned
for Her Future.
Thomas Stott, whose will dispos-
ing Of an estate valued at two thou
sand dollars was admitted to pro-
bate in this city the other day, de-
vised it all to his wife, and imposed
the following restriction: "The
only condition imposed is that my
beloved wife, Maria Stott, shall not
remarry after my decease, butre
main forever after my widow.
Should this injunction be disobeyed,
that is should she remarry, this my
last will and testament will become
null and void In so far as her inter-
est is concerned, and T charge my
executor or executors with the task
ofseeing that the benefits desire her
to enjoy from the proceeds of my

ing my widow shall be equally d.
vided, share and share alike, among

cerely hope that nothing may occur
that will harass or make the re-
mainder of the days of my beloved
wife, Maria .stott, anything but
days Of pleasure and comfort, hence
the imposition of the foregoing
named condition. I am impelled to
throw this safeguard around her
through a deep sense Of the many
good qualities of my beloved wife
after a long and happy married life,

A Stuffed Emperor.

One Of the most remarkable
stuffed skins on record was that OF
Valerian, emperor of Rome, who was
taken prisoner and afterward kept
in chains by Sapor, king of Persia.
He was either killed in a tumult or
by order Of his conqueror, who was
perhaps fearful of losing his valuable
living trophy, in the year 269. The
body of the dead emperor was treated
with no more delicacy than when it
had held the spark Of a living one.
It was skinned, the hide, after being
tanned, was stuffed, painted red and
suspended in the chief temple of the
capital. It remained there for many
years, and was the popular spec
tacle for holiday makers and visitors
from the country. But it was put
to more important ends than this; 1t
was made q diplomatic engine OF
much significance and efficiency. In
after times 1t often happened that
the Roman ENJOYS at the Persian
court had misunderstanding, more
or less serious, with the government
to which they were temporarily
accredited. When these ambas-
sadors from Rome grew arro-
CANT in their demands, it was
the custom to conduct them into
the presence Of the stuffed skin OF
the old ex-emperor Of Rome, where
they were asked if humility did not
become them at sight of such a spec
tacle.-Hartford Courant.
