years or experience, and after a further
examination to test their fitness for such
promotion. The number !of these assistants
should be left to the discretion of the Pres
ident according to the requirements Of the
service.
The introduction of such a grade, Mr..
Endicott says, would be without additional
experSe to the government, as its estab-
lishment would obpdate the necessity Of the
employment of an equal number Of yourg
engineers under the present system Of out
side employment.
The report contains the following chapter
in regard to the Washington navy yard:
The expenditures at this yard by this
bureau for all purposes have been about
$s9OOO during the year. About $4,000 was
expended upon improvements, including
dredging in front of the yard. new roofs
for foundry and quadrangle building, new
scale house and new stsrehouse for guns
The general maintenance of the yard has
cost about $17, COO.
"Storehouse No. was damaged by fire.
The cost of restoration was $12,S13.G9, and
was paid from appropriation contingent
yards and docks.
Under appropriation of national defense
an expenditure of about $4,000 was made
almost entirely for extension of the electric
light plant, made necessary by the large
amount of work carried on at night during
the active preparations for war.
THE appropriation asked by way OF i'm
provement of the navy yard comprises the
following objects: New steel roof and re-
pairs to pattern shop, building No. 3, S2l,-
600; new steel roof and repairs to copper
rolling mill, $1,000; extension to the north

A Corner in Boston,
From the Boston Herald

From the Boston Herald.
Nothing but sheer modesty prevents
Trinity court from being one of the show
places of Boston. ut is as far from the
usual commonplace, habitat as this side of
the Atlantic knows anything about, and
the wonder is it's construction is not imi-
tated in other ctiss where apartment"
houses abound. for it is both quaint and
convenient. One must enjoy the pictur-
esque corners in European cities to appre-
ciate this little court. surrounded by halls
that might have stepped over from some
Tudor mansion, So, English is their archi-
lecture, but which, be 1T said, is adapt ed
to ease-loving American ideas. The Tudors
would simply be the wonders if they could
our everyday living. But there is nothing
like combining the past with the present
styles. 1t makes charming association
of ideas. In theo afternoon, when the
the early English iron ornaments and gate
way are silhouetted against the light it
must be a very Indifferent observer who
does not admire the effect, or have it recall
some foreign neighborhood 5000 miles at
least from Dartmouth street And 1t should
be added that Trinity court has the ad-
vantage in point of cleanliness to any place,
however historic or picturesque, abroad! 1t
is so swept and garnished, and the little
iron balconies with their gardening vines
and potted plants are so like story book
decorations, that there can be no mistake
that this is really typical American order
The clocks vis-a-vis on the towers are pure
ly Bostonese. 1t Is fancied they think them
selves the Cog and Magog of this city, and
while they are voiceless they keep up a
devil of a thinking about what goes on
around them. The flight of time is a seri-
Gus matter with these two big dials, but
watch them as you may, one never gets
ahead of the other. They are twins with
burt a single thought and hands that beat
as one.

A SINGING WELL.

Gives Forth Weird Noise and Cam

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
About three miles west Of Cedar Bayou.
Harris county, Tex, is a remarkable well
When it was dug no one can tell. but II
has been in existence for more than sixty
years. The we'll is known as the Singing
Well"
In calm, fine weather sound like that
of an aeolian harp comes upward between
the tanglss of vines below. At times the
sound seems nearer and clearer; then again
ear very family. These changes take place
larity.
With an east wind blowing the water in
the well gets very low and the mysterious
musical SOUND very faint. A strong west
wind causes the water to rise and the
sound to increase in volume and clearnesS.
But 1t is just before a great norther that
the old we'll plays it's widest pranks. Then,
for several hours, the water rises to within
few feet OF the top of the well and emfts
the weirdest. widest noises that ever
reached human ears. At such times even
the water drawn out with buckets means
and walls az II in anguish.
The well is about sixty feet deep. A few
years ago the land on which 1t Is located
was bought by a Mr.. Watkins, who, not
liking the sounds that came from the well,
employed two men to fill 1t up. They show
eled dirt into the well two weeks, but 1t
did not affect the depth of water percepti-
bly,, and they threw up the contract. From

Orders to Roast the Camp.

Gen. Young said that a correspondent
told him that his paper ordered him to
roast the whole camp without regard to
facts, but this correspondent replied that
they had made a mistake in their man and
had better send another correspondent
there.
what paper was that?" General Young
was asked.
He hesitated, but when pressed for re-
ply said it was the World.
General Young, when asked what papers
misrepresented facts at Camp Wikoff, said
that for two or three weeks he did not have
time to read them, he was so busy. His at
tention was called to these letters by a
staff officer, and that was why he inquired
about them.
General Dodge-"How do you account for
SO much complaint about Camp Wikoff
having been made by people visiting the
camp there?"
General Young-"A great deal of this
complaint came from women and some
men who had never seen the back door Of
a. camp in their lives. They have never
seen men sleeping in tents. Then some
soldiers pretended to be sick and claimed
that they couldn't get things to eat in or
der to work on the feelings of sympathetic
people to get money or anything else they
wanted. The regulars did that, l know.
1t was reported to me that men in one of
my own regiments were working that
game"
This concluded General Young's testi-
mOny.

The water is very clear, with blush

in the neighborhood show such pranks as

A recommendation is made that the pres
ent watch force at ths navy yards and sta
uops be abolished, and that such police
duty be hereafter devolved on the marine
corps. The expenditures for the civil watch
force last year were $36.512, and it is esti-
mated that the same class of service will
cost Sol610 during the next fiscal year
chief Encicott recommends a reorganiza-
tion OF the corps of civil engineers, and
says he will submit bill embodying his
views on the subject. In his opinion, the
manner of admission to the corps should
be established by act of Congress, with the
requirement that appointments be made
only after a competitive examination, If
from civil life, or after careful selection If
from the Naval Academy
He says that there should be added to
the corps the grade of assistant civil engi-
neer in order that young men may be ap-
pointed to the lower grade first and be pro-
NOTED to the grade Of full civil engineer as
vacancies occur In the latter, after some

The California.

There will be a matinee performance to-day and one tomorrow at the Cali fornia, where the Hopkins Trans Oceanic Star Speciality Company be- gins another week.
 The performance of Frank Gardner's riding baboon shows a vast amount of training on the part of MT. Gardner and in the drinking scene the animal appears almost human. Juno Salmo, the contortionist, is seen in an act that has not been equaled in this city for difficulty This man twists himself up into a knot and with equal ease and grace unties himself. Little Lulu gives a dashing and graceful trapeze act, closing with a performance on the swinging rope. The Sidmans win fa- vor in their comedy sketch, as do also Morton Revelle. Morton is decidedly clever and rattles off his ragtime songs in a catching manner. The banjo team, Polk and Rollins, has made one of the hits of the performance.

The Baldwin.

Ysaye, Gerardy and Lachaume will give a special request concert at the Baldwin Theater this evening. It will be the farewell of these three great musicians, who have completely cap tured local music lovers by their play ing at the concerts during the past week The programme for to-night's concert will contain a number of pop ular features and among them will be the most brilliant work from the rep ertoires of both Ysaye and Gerardy. The latter has come here most highly recommended and to say that he has more than fulfilled expectations would not be an exaggeration.

thought of. Witness Rafael, the ex- treme type, whose words were quite inaudible and who played the Impress sionist as he'd play bandit or a shep- herd or a pierrot or a Romeo-with no pretense of interest In or assumption of the qualities of the character whose role he takes But if Edith Hall, who has ability; if Stevens, whose bearing in unmusical self-respecting comedy is that of the disinherited knight look ing longingly back upon his ancestral home, would think it worth while, they might be valuable and needed recruits to the stage. Surely. San Francisco's small dramatic militia, just now, is on the most beggarly peace footings.
