seRL,n.s NEW SEWAGE sYsTEaa.


Berlin has dealt SUCCESSFULLY with the
drainage question. Until about ?
quarter Of . century ago the disposal Of
sewage was effected in primitive fnsh-
ion; open drain coun q. badly built and
with inadequate fall, ran through
many Of the streets. discharging finally
into the River Spree. for whoee condi-
tion contamination would be far too
mild . word. A commission was APP
pointed. which. after whiting various
countries, especially England. with tho
view Of practically studying different
systems, reported In f1vor OF sewage
irrigation on land at . distance from
tine city. The Aatness Of the plain ON
which Berlin y built would mot allow
Of any gravitation scheme, and eonse-
quently Il was found necessary 70
adopt steam pumping. For the same
reason the sewage could not all b cox
lected at one spot, and it was therefore
decided to divide the city into u drain
age areas. The ground at the seven
sewage farms was well suited for the
purpose. consisting only Of sandy
wastes. then growing only stunted hrs
and birches, but now converted into
fertile fields. The total area of the
land which could be devoted to sew-
age irrigation Is =, 500 aeres; only about

the wife Of Nick Huggins. She was
powerful bad pestered about it. To
hear her tell the. news, 1t took Joe
Blevins and Lit Garvin's wife sich q
terrific long time to walk from home to
the church and vicery ver@ry. She
had come over the same road, and she
would give her testimony on stack Ct
Bibles as big as the meetin house that
it took them two mortal hours to walk
a mile and half. She told the news
free and promiscus to the sisters. and
naturally of course it then leaked out
amongst the men folks. BY the next
day it broke out in the general crowd
and was spreadin like . prairie fire on
a windy day in March.
'NOw, in the name Of free grace and
common sense. what was the use OF
that? It was pure family question.

B.evins was willin, was more than

Of that? The weather hit was meltin
hot, and they didn't have to burn the
wind and make q race track out of the
big road.
"When meetin turned out the next
day Misses Garvin she had heard the
news and went pizen mad. She got
right out in the midst Of the crowd, she
did, and helt up Misses Huggins and
pitched in and naturally het the air
sizzlin hot all around. She would give
Misses Huggins to understand that she
was a lady, and she wanted everybody
to know for certain-0ncst and fore~er
that she was lady. herself.
"And If your Aunt Nancy amt all

is where Misses Garvin dropped the jug
and split her molasses. If lady is q
lady I never could see no reason for her
to climb up on a high fence and tell
everybody the news. People are more
than probable to know the truth in

about it.

Observation-Disclosures correspondence


To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Mr.. Saunders admits just enough to show
the absurdity of his denial. He says that
rooms We're offered to Mr.. Douglass in the
Ohio National Bank building, due applica-
ton having been made by him for them
without question or reservation" and that
it was not until after second application
was made by him for an unlimited number
of rooms and for the privilege Of putting
into said rooms an unlimited number Of
colored people of both sexes that 1 wrote
him second letter, saying that as I was
only the executive officer of the company,
l would have to refer this request to the
president and board of directors of the
bank" What an abSurdity! What sane
man or woman will believe such nonsense
That Mr.. Douglass having secured office
room for himself and the secretary of the
Freedom Manufacturing Company, he
made second application for IAN unlim-
tied number of rooms for an unlimited
number of colored people of both sexes"
For what? Can anybody imagine? And if
he had, what was the objection, and why
was any reference suggested if not on &C
count of color? Is not this building Occu-
pied by an unlimited number of white per-
sons of both sexes?
My only purpose was to show that this
seeker of the votes of cOlored men drew the
line on their wives and daughters when 1t
became a question of renting office rooms
in the building under his charge. The dis
gUise attempted is too thin, and If 1t is
not and Mr.. Saunders cares to have the
truth known, why not produce the cores
pondence on the subject between himself
and MIR. Douglass? l will also close by
quoting the well-known maxim, False in
enc thing, false in ALL" and it was to give
emphasis to this maxim that 1 have en-
deavored to show Mr.. Saunders true at
titudc toward the negro. and that he was
not a fit man to politically represent him
anywhere. CHAS. r. DOUGLASS
