COlOred Man DrOwned.-George T.
Bruner, colored, about thirty years of age, a
resident of Martinsburg, Montgomery coun-
ty, Md, was drowned 10 the canal at the
foot Of 33d street some time Saturday night
or early Sunday morning. His body was
recovered this morning about $50 o'clock
and was taken to the seventh precinct sta
ton, where it was held pending the appear
ance of the coroner, who was notified.
Bruner came down the canal Saturday on
the boat Cally b., Capt. Reid in command,
with load of corn and other feed. The
boat reached Georgetown about $3.50 o'clock
in the evening. Henry Bruner, brother,
is regularly employed on the boat as hand,
and George embarked at Martinsburg, max
ing the trip to this city. After landing in
Georgetown the latter got off and proceeded
on tour OF inspection. He was acquainted
with number OF colored people, and it was
thought he went to visit some of them.
He was last seen about midnight at 33d
and NJ streets, and it was supposed he spent
the greater part of the night in "Boston !"
He had been drinking, and it is conjectured
that he managed TO find his way back TO the
boat, but that in walking up the gang plank
he slipped and Tell overheard. Every one
on the boat had retired and was SCUM d
asleep, and if the drowning man made any
outcries they were not heard. Not seeing
his brother in the morning Henry supposed
he had been arrested, and made inquire 8,
but could secure no information. ASS last
resort he came TO the conclusion that his
brother had gone TO the house of some friend.
Nothing more was thought of the matter
until this morning, when the boat was
brought close TO the wharf. Some floating
cakes of ice were disturbed, and when one
of them moved hat was brought TO the
surface. 1t was recognized as the hat worn
by Bruner, and his brother Immediately
went 10 the police station and reported the
matter. The police suggested that the canal
be dragged at the place where the hat was
found. This was done, and in few minutes
the body was brought up. The remains
were taken 10 the station and the family of
the drowned man notified Wash. Star Of
Monday.

san Juan and Porto Rico Next.

From Golfers Weekly.
After Santiago, Porto Rico presuml-
bly, is next on the list. Formerly re-
garded as the key to South America. it
has never been taken. 1t has had the
storm for ally, fever. too. Twice Eng
land attacked it. The Spaniards oeat
her off. Once they pea the Dutch.
But though the island has never been
taken, the island has peen sacked. 1t
took pirates to do il. though. The
first was a choice person named Drake.
Accounts of the adventure differ, but
they agree in this: his mariners were
dressed i'm silk. his ships were rugged
with damask. his topsails were cloths
Of gold. They were as beautifully
equipped. They carried basilisks, Gull
vcrins, serpentines and bombardes.
The latter the old prints describe as
mortar pieces furnished with hollow
shot stuffed with ~fyrework," tho
smallest part whereof hitting a man
being guaranteed TO spoil him. More
effective for Caravcls and caracks than
Camara's chemicals, they were first
used for Smelling purposes just 30
years ago. II was a little later that
Drake appeared with them in the ha--
Dor Of San Juan. When he left, the
shop was in ruins and his ballast was
ducatoons. Drake had Elizabeth be-
hind him. Cumberland. who followed
him there. was an equally choice ut
an entirely private corsair. What he
did was on his own hook. What he
lacked was the steady gale of good
fortune which his colleague enjoyed.
Though he took san Juan. fever took
his men. Thereat suspecting, as an
ancient chronicler naively relates.
that the Spanish had some treacher-
Gus design on foot" he broke away
With but a pearl-chest for souvenir.
Since then the island has withstood the
attacks Of three distinct hotillas. There
Is luck in odd numbers. Now for the
change.

Has the senate Deteriorated?

Experience alone will determine
whether the Australian upper house will,
like that of England and Canada, prove
inferior to the lower i'm the contribu-
tion of it's members to the interest and
dignity Of public life. In this respect
the senate of the United States has, in
the estimation of some capable critics.,
of late years descended from its former
high estate. The presence of members
who have no exceptional ability or real
political importance, and the marked
deterioration in e%loquence and argu-
ment as compared with the great days
when Webster, Clay and Calhoun made
memorable the debate of public ques-
tons, have been ascribed, as already in
timated, largely to election by the state
legislatures, especially in their later
phase of control by the rigid party
mechanism whose methods. quite re-
moved from the provision of true states
manship. are concerned with the art
of winning elections n distributing
patronage. 1t is, perhaps, as much
owing to this fact as to any other that
so many men of character and ability
have grown Indifferent to the claims of
political duty.-From AUSTRALIAN Fed

\ Cry for Water.

An adequate supply of water fer all
is a prime requisite, and that
the first city of the United States In
population, and manufact-
ures should be the lowest of 80 OF the
principal cities in an adequate water
supply is al anomaly.
The need for an additional water sup
ply. is pressing in the Borough of Brook
Ign, and soo will be in the Borough
or Manhattan. The supply should nave
ample watershed, free from pollution,
and be supplied by gravity. with SUM-
Client head TO supply our highest build
ings. As expressed by a prominent
merchant: now have a three
story supply for a ten-story town"
1t should be within the state of New
York, and duplicate existing sources,
so that if one source fails it would be
supplemented by the other.
In view of the constitutional limit
of taxation, if private capital will fur
nish an adequate supply at no higher
rate than the cost under municipal own
ership, ii should be taken advantage of.
In the Catskill mountains and their
southern foot hills we have a clear.
cold trout stream supply, from a
sparsely settled hardwood forest dis
trict, Known to every fisherman. with

ford an adequate head to reach our

WHAT MAKES A GENTLEMAN.
The Young Man should BE Guided by
His Best Instincts.

u houhg wa ShOuld lie euiutu ny
His Best Instincts.
Common sense rules in dress and
manners. the same as in any phase of
of our lives, and this our young men
should learn and understand" writes
Edward Box of "Wha Makes a Gen
tleman' in the July Ladies' Home Jour
nal. "A mans manner are not exter-
ior; they emanate from within, from
himself. Experience and observation
are the only teachers he a seek ana
use. Etiquette books are useless to
him. A young mans progress and ia
vor in the eyes of others does not de-
pend upon his being ostentatiously cor
rect in manner, movement n speech.
His strongest and most lasting hold
upon the respect and confidence of peo-
pie comes from something deeper. He
must not be boorish, nor s~lovenly, nor
needless of the feelings of others. 1t
is his duty to carry himself well ac-
cording to his best instincts. and not
by rule as laid down in etiquette books.
So with a young mans dress. At 20 we
do net expect our young men to devote
so much time to their clothes that they
shall be correctly dressed upon every
occasion. Such useless knowledge Is,
at that time of life, acquired at the ex-
pense of far more important matters.
The taste for good dressing, and its
knoWledge, so 1af as IL is necessary.
comes To all of us as we progress. The
right sort of a young man dresses in
the neatest and best manner he can,
and as well as his income permits. That
is always good dressing. To overdress
ones station in the world is always
poor taste and invariably makes a bad
impression. | never yet saw a younS
man who either hired or borrowed an
evening suit for a special occasion who
did not loudly proclaim the s~elf-evident
fact. When a young man wears clothes
beyond his means he Invariably shows
ii, and he never fails to make a fool of
himself. This rule is i~nvariable. 1t is
not what a man wears. but how he
wears it, that tells the story"
