Since the establishment of our

interest have a citified tendency,
even to the extent OF two fires in
one day. At a very early hour
this morning the shooting Of fire.
arms aroused the dear neoTle in the
north part of town and blaze was
discovered on the premises of Rev
Cobb. The extent of the fire was the
destruction of a shed and some
fencing. The fire is supposed to
have originated from some live
Goals thrown out with ashes.
About 10 O'Clock this forenoon
a CRY of fire was again raised and
the blaze was found to be in the
me t shed at the rear of Pyeatt' S
butcher shop, where barbecuing
process was in order. A few buck
cts of water soon ended this, and
luckily, as it was dangerously close
to some larger wooden buildings.
The loss in both instances is
very slight.

EXEMPTION DENIED.
Convent Of the Vfsitation Must Pro.
cure Water Meter

Sister NJ Teresa White of the Convent of
the Visitation. recently requested the Dis
trict Commissioners to exempt a portion
OF the convent premises from the applica-
uon OF the water meter regulation. The
Commissioners have written her that they
cannot grant her request. They explained
to her that the laws governing the supply
OF water requires that all premises using
large amount shall take their supply
through a meter. and that 1t will therefore
be necessary for all the water supplied TO
the convent to be measured by a meter.
The Commissioners are of the opinion
that the convent is undoubtedly covered
by the law requiring meters. The annual
water rent paid for a number of years past
mas been $50. An examination of these
premises was made in November last by
temporarily placing meters on the supply
pipe, and the examination showed an
hourly rate of about LOGS gallons from
midnight to ) am, and an hourly rate for
the entire twentyfour hours of but twenty
four gallons more; that is, of 1,o29 gal
Ions.
This examination, the Commissioners
of the water supplied to the convent Is
wasted, and furnishes additional reason
why meter should be used. This waste
is reported to be due largely to defective
fixtures, and TO the custom of permitting
certain taps 10 run continuously. The
Commissioners say that at meter rates
the annual bill for the institution would
be s262.so a year if 1900 gallons a day is
Used. With care and consumption of water
per capita of the inmates the same as
used in like institutions of the District, the
bill would amount 10 about 500.

They were disorderly last night" the

been made about boys congregating in the
street and cursing and swearing"
What do you want me to do with the
boys?" the judge asked. DO you want
them sent to the workhouse?'
The officer said he could not say that
these particular boys had used bad Ian
guage.
The statute is very explicit said the
court, "and unless you can state some par
ticuiar disorder on the part of your pris-
oners you will have your trouble for moth
ing

was asked.
No. SIR
why not?"
Because some girls told stories on me-"
That sounds bad" remarked the court
What were you doing on the street last
night?"

The other boys were also heard, and the
judge finally disposed of the case by finin.,
the boys 81. with the alternative Of sery-
ing an imprisonment Of six days each.
