WASTE OF WATER.
Public Institutions Show n Rather
SurprisinE Stnte of Affairs.

rune lhst1tuttGnH Show n Rather
Surprising State of Affairs.
Superintendent Mcfarland of the water
department has found upon a careful in
vestlgation that SIX per cent of the entire
waste of the city water is cc..fined to three
institutions which obtain water gratis
The first institution investigated was
Garfield Hospital. water meter was
placed on the service pipe outside of the
grounds, and 1t registered for six days an
average consumption of 90J gallons per
hour, which is considered very excessive.
The hourly flow from 10 D. M to @ am. was
I.S gallons, and the mean hourly flow from
midnight to o'clock am was go gallons,
all OF which showed that the rate of con-
sumption and waste from midnight to 3
O'Clock am. equaled Is per cent of the rate
for the twenty-four hours
The same method of measuring the waste
was followed at the Children's Hospital.
Here 1t was found the mean daily con-
sumption and waste aggregated 1858 gal
Ions. From 10 am. to a. m. the consump-
ton and waste was ,O20 gallons per hour,
while from midnight to o'clock am. the
consumption ran up to 1902 gallons per
hour. These figures gave the surprising
result that the consumption and waste
between the hours of midnight and 3
O'Clock am. was "a per cent of the entire
consumption for the twenty-four hours.
1t remained for the last institution in
spected to beat the record. 1t was the
Washington Orphan Asylum that showed
upon care1ul measurement total OF z, ~
gallons of consumption and waste per hour.
From 10 pm. to am. the mean hourly
flow was 052 gallons, while between. mid
night and o'clock am. 1 1857 gallons were
consumed and wasted.
These investigations are only the begin
ming of what Is to come. Before Congress
meets, the Commissioners will have made
thorough investigation of the entire city
and locate the places where there is an
excessive use of water. From these re-
ports will be culled the arguments that the
Commissioners hope to- cof1yince Congress
of the necessity of permitting the purchase
Of water meters to regulate the consump-
tton and prevent waste.

HOARD OF A REClUSE.
A Misery Old Woman Dies and Leave
silks and Jewels Behind.

A Misery Old Woman Dies and Leaves
silks and Jewels Behind.
Residents Of Willett street, New
York, were excited recently over the re-
ported finding Of fabulous sums Of mon
ey and jewels Of rare value among the
effects of the mysterious woman who
for 80 years had lived on the top floor
Of a tenement ON that thoroughfare. An
ambulance surgeon and the housekeepeI
of the house were the only persons pres
ent when she died early in the day. Nc
relatives or friends appeared to care for
the body, and it was removed to the
morgue.
Not long ago she fell i'll. A week
or 80 later the bousekeeper, Mrs. Kaiser,
happened to remember that she had not
seen Mrs. Dunn for some time. She
went up stairs and found the woman
deathly sick. She summoned an ambu
lance, and one responded from Gouver-
neur hospital. She died soon after DR..
Pafford arrived.
Detectives visited the apartments ano
examined the dead woman's effects. In
a stout trunk, covered with dust and
litter, were found a number Of silk
dresses made i'll the style Of half cen
tury ago.
No one ever remembered Mrs. Dunn
to have been dressed in anything but
the simplest garments. In another bon
was found handbook Of the Bowery
Savings bank, in which was deposited
TO Mrs. Dunn's credit $700.
In we'll worn jewel case were found
al old fashioned brooch set with ten
diamonds and several other bits of dia-
mond jewelry. a number Of other val
liable trinkets were found in the litter
of the rooms.
Few living in the street know any
thing about Mrs. Dunn's early life. 1t
was said that 26 years ago the woman.
had separated from her husband and
lived the life of recluse ever since.

THE GLOVE FAD RACES.
There Was Never Before Such Extrava-
CANT Uso OF Hand Coverings.

There Was Never BoIoro oucu HxtToSo-
CANT ESQ OF Hand Coverings.
The extravagant use Of gloves is prob
ably at it's height just now. There must
be one kind for driving, one for bi-
cycling, one for shopping, another for
calling and still another for evening
wear.
Driving gloves for spring are made
of lightweight buckskin suede, and gray
Is the preferred shade. A glove should
harmonize OF contrast with costume,
but never clash. All gloves worn for
driving, bicycling or in games or sports
of any kind should be either tan or gray
and be of two buttoned length.
The newest bicycle glove is made of
suede finished Isle. with kid palm,
which serves the double purpose of max
ing the gloves strong and protecting the
hand. These have little holes between
the fingers for ventilation, and that is a
very happy idea, for, bicycling being
such heating exercise, the hands are
very likely to perspire, which is not
only intensely uncomfortable, but ruin
GUS to the glove.
The proper glove for shopping ia
made Of combination Of silk and cas-
tor. The very thought Of silk gloves ia
enough to send chill down ones spine,
but in these the silk is not evident
Castor is material, glace in finish,
which is heavier than suede and not
quite SO heavy as buckskin. For calling
and the theater the gloves are all in
light shades-white, grays in shades
varying from pearl to slate and yellows
from pale lemon to tans.
The newest shade, and one destined
to become favorite, is an old one re-
vived-ash Of roses or mauve. Old
styles, like bad pennies, are sure tc
come back, and this new shade, which
has not been worn in anything for &c
many years, will be welcome prodi-

RIPE FOR REVOLUTION
THE CITY OF MoNTEvIDEo IN
A PANIC
President Ad IAterim of Uruguay
Attacked During a Meeting
of the Chamber

! MONTEVIDEO, Nov. 19.-The city is
in panic over the incident at today's
session of the chamber of deputies, and
the report that DR.. Miguel Herrerera y
Obes, minister of the interior and OF
justice in the Borda cabinet, has been
shot with revolver. In the chamber
DR.. Herrerera y Obes made a violent at
tack upon Senor Cuestas, who assumed
the presidency of the republic ad interim
on the assassination of President Borda
who was shot August 25th last.
On September Goth Senior Cuestas is
sued declaration of policy, promising
to conduct the administration with strict
economy, to purge the public depart
ments and religiously to pay the interest
on the public debt. At that time he ex-
pressed the hope that the department of
customs would yield five million francs
monthly.
Today DIR. Berrerera y Obes called up
on him for more explicit statement as
to his program in the event of his elec-
ton as president
Senior Eduardo McEachen, minister of
the government, refused to reply where
upon DIR. Obes presented motion de-
manding the resignation of the presi-
dent of the republic ad interim.
1t is said that If this motion is adopted
by the deputies Senior Cuestas will dis
solve the chamber.

A CABINET MEETING
Finance Gives Trouble-The Cuban
Situation Favorable

Situation Favorable
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The cab
met was in session for two hours today,
devoted largely to q discussion of the
annual reports of the different members
The subjects which engaged the spe-
cial attention Of the cabinet were those
relating to the manner in which the
Cuban problem and the question of fin
ances should be handled in the presi-
dents message. The opinion was gen-
orally expressed that the Cuban situa-
ton, as it affects the United States, was
even more favorable than could be ex-
pected, and there was especial good
feeling over the release of the crew ol
the Competitor. This and other conces-
sions were accepted as indicating gen.
uine desire on the part of the Sagasta
administration to meet the wishes of the
authorities Of this country and bring the
war to a hasty termination.
A wide variety Of opinion was devel.
oped among the members of the cabinet
as to the policy to be recommended on
the financial question. There were, in
deed, almost as many views expressed
on the details involved in the discussion
Of this question as there were cabinet
members present. This difference re-
lated, however. largely to the details
and much of the conversation turned
upon the probable difficulties Of getting
congress to unite upon any line of pol
icy.
