WASHING STREETS.
German Town With Two Separate
Water Supplies.

a ucrman IOWn with Two Separate
Water Supplies.
From the Electrical Engineer
Undoubtedly one Of the best methods OF
keeping streets clean is that of frequent
flushing with water, especially when the
sewer outlets are SO planned as to permit,
all the solid refuse to be washed on,
through them along with the water In
many cases. however, the supply of city
water does not permit the liberal dow nec-
essary for a thorough flushing, so that this
luxury can be permitted only when an ex-
cess of water is on hand. The city Of Oh
denburg, near Lubbock. has provided an in
dependent water supply for the especial
purpose Of keeping the streets washed, this
being one Of the numerous sanitary i'm
provements which have resulted from the
cholera epidemic of 1892 in the north sea-
ports In order to avoid the cost of new
buildings the pumping plant is placed In
one OF the electric stations where space
was available. the water being taken direct
from the river Hunte, the pumps being
driven by belt from turbines. A system
of high-service mains altogether distinct
from the regular water supply, is connected
WITH this pumping plant, and a pressure
of 65 feet head is maintained by an auto
matte regulator, permitting the excess water
to be returned to the river whenever the
demand is reduced. This high-seivice
pumping system supplies thirty-seven
flushing hydrants placed at such points of
elevation as to permit the streets to be
cleared by the slope. The hydrants are SO
arranged that their ordinary discharge
is through openings in the curb at the gut
ter line, but they can also be Immediately
converted into fire plugs for hose attach
ment, either for street sprinkling or for
fire engine supply. Since the river water
at Oldenburg is UNIT for household use
the plant above described is available only
for the special purposes for which it was
planned. but the expense of thus using a
local supply OF brackish water for purposes
OF street washing and fire service is so
moderate that the method is worthy of
consideration In ether localities. The en-
tire cost of the Oldenburg plant was less
than $1.000-that is. less than 500 per hy-
drant-whiie the economy in street clean
ing alone would soon repay this, after
which the cost Of operation would be much
less than by any other method not to mem
ton the superior sanitary advantages.

A compilation of figures just sub
mitted by)188 students at Yale Uni
versity as1to their expenses|in attend
ing that great school shows the
following interesting results: OF stu
dents living on,less than $500 year
there were but eight freshmen, seven
juniors and three seniors. OF those
spending s15oo)a year or lover there
were nineteen freshmen, Nseventeen
juniors, and twenty-five seniors.
From $1,000 to $1,000 year is the
range of expense quoted by the larg-
est numberIin all classes The; ;aver-
age expense, however, foots up5 thus:
Freshmen, $3.50; sophomores, $S05;
juniors, 1891; seniors, $971. These
expenses are about ten per cent. less
than they were in 1887. A growing
practice among students at Yale OF
earning money to help themselves
through college is noted, and the in
suits once heaped on such students by
the more aristocYatic are now almost
unknown. The average age OF the
Yale graduates this year is twenty-five
years and six months.

Matter Has Been Kept From Public
for Two MOnths-No Clue

BROOKLINE, Mass, July 13-Grace
Stevenson, the daughter of James Steven
son, rich real estate broker, has been
missing since April 26. She is rs years old,
and was really the head of the
house, taking full charge of the
domestic arrangements, There is an
estrangement between her father and
mother, the latter living at a hotel, although
maintaining the home establishment Every
thing was pleasant at home, the daughter
being cultured by study and foreign travel,
and happy with unlimited money at her dis
posal and peculiarly attached to her home.
She is % years old. and had,so far known,
no particular male companion. She went
out on an errand on the evening of April 2G
wearing an ordinary house costume and
with slippers only on her feet She left all
her money and yaluables, and had evidently
made no preparation to depart. She has
dropped completely out of sight. Her
parents do not believe that she is
dead They have not before made
the matter public as they did not
care to wash their own dirty linen in
public and wished to avoid scandal and ruin
to the girls reputation if there is man IN

SKIPPED TOGETHER.
Alleged Elopement of Married Man
and Woman-Three Sentiments,

GREENVILLE, n. H., July 13-Eleven
years ago Frederick Russell of Moran, a
village adjoining this place, married Nellie
Smith. Miss Smith had some money
which Russell promptly proceeded to
go through. Three children have
been born to them. Russell is
unattractive in appearance. but seems to
have attracted Mrs. George Blanche, II pre-
possessing woman, y years old, married,
with one'son and with 100000 in money.
Gossip has handled the names of the two
freely, aud Russell has been frequent visitor
to the Blanche homestead when the head of
the house has been away. Now both have
gone away together. Mr. Blanche is dis
consulate, but says it would be a little conso-
lation if he could get his boy back. Mrs.
Russell says she doesn care. She and her
children are in destitute circumstances, but
she says she could not possibly be worse off
than she has been. Mrs. Blanches father.
Mr.. o. Robbins, swears he will do Russell
II he catches him.

SAYS TWAS SPITE.
But Mayor Gave the DecaIogue a
Bad Jolt.

SOMERSWORTH,N N II. July 13-This town
is bound to be right in the push as centre
of excitement just at present. There is a
monkey and parrot time going on over the
enforcement of the Sunday laws. First
Mayor Harrison closed the restaurants, con-
fectioncry, cigar and soda water places
Later the mayor himself, who keeps
livery stable, was brought into court
and fined S5 for cleaning horses and
carriages and also letting them on Sundays.
He says he did not do it and appIcaled the
case. He says he let no teams which were
not engaged on week days. His statement
that the prosecution is insticated by spite is
believed. but the statement that no teams
were let ON Sunday creates a little smile.
Now Marshall Heaton has been notified by
Lawyer James A. Edgerley that he (Heaton)
must sop the excessive and unnecessary
ringing of the bell in the Methodist meeting
house near Edgerley's house.
