Nothing so positively stamps a bod
ice with the hallmark of god work
as its having not only the neck finish
that is in harmony with the other trim
ming, but also that one which IS becom-
ing TO the wearer. The woman with the
extremely long throat emulates the
courage Of the beautiful princess Of
Wales, and never allows herself to wear
a frock cut low in the neck. The woman
with short full throat may have her
gown cut little low and finished with
frtll, if that style is suited TO the
gown; and if il is not she will have a
semi high arrangement about the
throat, which, while il gives the proper
effect, Will not make her look thick

WATER AT cHIcKAMAUGA
General Boynton Says It is Clean and Plen-
tiful.
Springs, Wells and Pipe Lines Fur
nish It-How the District Troops
Are Supplied.

Gen. H. v. Boynton, being asked by a Star
reporter about the Published reports that
the water furnished by the pipe line at
Ctickamauga Park was filthy and not At
for washing purposes, that 1t came from a
point whers men battle and that the situa-
tion is daily growing worse, said:
Yesterday the man who wrote this dis
covered 'rattlesnakes crawling in abund-
ance' over the men sleeping on blankets
stretched on the mountain ground In the
seven years that / have been riding walk
ing and working In every portion of the
park a rattlesnake has not been seen or
heard of.
Inexhaustfble Supply of Good Water.
THE river water furnished the camps at
the park is taken from point above the
camps, where no wash from the park en-
tiers it, where no bathing is permitted and
where the current is swift. Above this
point to its source it is fed by mountain
springs alone. One of these nearest the
camp is the famous Crawfish spring, which
flows J0,OOO,OOO gallons a day. The valley
through which the river runs above the
park is much cleaner than the Potomac
valley, as there Is not a single town upon
1t, and the supply to the source is from
springs. Gen. Rosecrans' entire army lived
upon 1t for ten days before the battle of
Chickamauga and found it healthful. Be-
fore L left the park L was informed by
medical officers that there had been no sick
ness owing to change of water since the
camp was established.
How the District Boys Are Supplied.
Water, which, with full knowledge of all
the surroundings, 1 drink myself without
hesitation, was flowing on Saturday into
the camp adjoining that of the District
regiment on one side, and from a siX-inch
main seven hundred yards distant on the
other. side. A thousand yards further on
a good road, is an unfaiing supply of deep
well water raised by force pump with
facilities for loading wagons from an over
hang, which can be had for the hauling.
and within sight of this is an artcsian well
of inexhaustible supply, and unquestioned
quality.
The statement that the Chickamauga
river is a stagnant stream and SO pollI;ed
that those who battle in it take their lives
in their hands is as far from the fact as
language could well make it.
Yesterday 1 received the following re-
port, by telegraph, dated Saturday night.

IN A VACANT HOUS
Brutal Attempt at Robbery by Oolored
Man.
Miss Nora Cannon the victim-Knock.
ed Down and Rockefeller Al.
saflant Identified.

Miss Nora Cannon. g. young woman who
lives at No. 133 B street southwest, was
assaulted and badly injured Saturday after
noon while looking through vacant house
No. 917 South Capitol street. A young
colored man named Elias Delaver. arrested
by Precinct Detective Henry, has been
identified by Miss Cannon as her assail-
ant. He is held at the fourth precinct
station until the case can be more fully
investigated. Robbery. it appears from
Miss Cannon's report, was the mans only
motive. 1t was about 2:30 o'clock Satur-
day afternoon when the young woman call
ed at the house of Mrs. Leissler, on South
Capitol street, and was given the key to
the vacant house. About ten minutes later
Mrs. Leissler, thinking Miss Cannon had
mad time to look through the house, went
out TO see If she could see anything of
her. She was surprised as well as shocked
TO see her at the front window on the sec
end floor with her face covered with blood.
Mrs. Leissler entered the house and went
to the assistance of the woman, whose
assailant had fled. The injured woman
walked downstairs and fell in a faint near
the foot of the steps. Restoratives soon
revived her, and then she told her story of
the occurrence. A telephone message sent
to the police brought the fifth precinct pa
troll wagon, and the sufferer was taken
to Providence Hospital. There were sew
eral cuts and bruises about her head and
face. and she had lost considerable blood.
Precinct Detective Henry, who visited the
house, saw evidences of a severe struggle
having taken place. Later he called at the
hospital and found that, while Miss Can
non had been painfully injured, she was in
no danger.
Her Story.
Her statement was that she entered the
basement door of the house and went to the
first floor, wh=re she met a colored man.
He told her he was the watchman in charge
of the house, and offered to show her
through. When the second floor back room
was reached, she says, the colored man de-
manded her money and jewelry, and then
grabbed her by the throat A desperate
struggle ensued, during which she says the
colored man attempted to choke her. When
she was knocked down her head was kick
ed. and finally the man threatened to throw
her out the window. The only thing taken
from her was gold ring that had been
given to her by friend some time ago. She
had a necklace and other jewelry, as well
as money, but these were not touched.
Delaver may be taken to the Police Court
tomorrow.

in the defense Of the country, both on sea
and on land, are appropriately decorated
with the national colors. The work was
done under the supervision of a committee
of the Grand Army and as one of the fea-
lures of the observance of memorial day
serves to bring to the attention of the peo-
pie generally the sentiment which the day
represents. A great many persons are un-
able to go far from their homes. and for
this reason miss much of the public observ-
ance Of the great patriotic holiday The
fag-draped statues, however. call to the
attention the meaning and significance of
the day, and is as well appropriate trib-
