WATER SUPPLY.
Reason for Limited Quantity Received
by Residents of Capitol Hi.

From a report made to the District Conn
missioners by Mr.. W. A. Mcfarland, super
intendent of the water department, 1t ap-
pears that the limited supply of water to
people residing on Capitol Hill Is due in a
measure to the failure to close the supply
valve to the navy yard The matter was
brought to the attention of the Commits
sioners by Chief Engineer A Kirby of the
navy, who resides at 405 g street south
ing the summer the water supply on Capitol
Hill has been cut off at o'clock in tho
morning. when work starts in the navy
yard rendering 1t necessary to fill bath
tubs III the night. He suggested rem
edy the closing down Of the supply valve to
the navy yard. so that people on the high
grounds might obtain more pressure.
In mis- report Mr.. Mcfarland says an in
ed the condition to be described by him.
The trouble Is general, states Mr.. McFar-
land. in the higher parts of Capitol HILL
and he thinks "A curtaiment Of the supply
to the navy yard would, as suggested by
Mr.. Kirby. improve matters materially.
Unfortunately. however, as he explains the
Commissioners have authority to limit
the supply of water in government depart
ments. Mr.. Mcfarland expresses the opiu-
ion that the trouble on Capitol Hill is ag-
gravated by the waste of water which, he
alleges, occurs at the Capitol, the Congress
sionel Library and the navy yard. He
therefore regrets that his department can
afford Mr.. Kirby relief His report has
been approved by the Commissioners, and
they have SO informed Mr.. Kirby.

himself in Cuba and the Philippines is a
great friend of Mr.. White, and the two
have hunted together for many years.
Once upon time before the game laws
had very much respect given them in Col
orado, these two worthless were on hunt
ing trip in the summer time, out beyond
Estes Park. Here in q little valley they
came upon a deserted village some scores
of houses without a single inhabitant, the
abandoned camp of an earlier mining STAN
pede. They took possession of this town
In the name of Kansas. hosting over 1t
their broad pennant, and when they got
tired Of living in house they moved
into another. Mr.. Funston, whom Mr.
White describes a shocking bad shot
went out hunting regularly after noun
tain sheep, and finally succeeded in killing
a good ram, which they bore In triumph to
the house which at the time they were hon.
oring with their presence. They had dis
posed of most of their sheep. when, one
morning, they were surprised to receive a
visit from the game warden. While Mr.
Funston entertained this man in the front
parlor. Mr. White pulled up a couple OF
boards in the drawing room and lost the
head under the house for the time being
The game warden departed, silenced and
apparently convinced. A few days later
than this Mr.. Funston went out after rasp-
berries, taking his gun along as usual He
gathered a pail full of berries, which he
put in a shady spot and threw his gun
down beside them. Wandering a little way
from this spot he at length lay down and
went to sleep. He awakened some
time later by unfamiliar noise and on
sitting up saw a very handsome cinnamon
bear making for his pail of berries. 1t
needs only be added that the bear got the
berries, the future general of volunteers
making a mastery retreat along the noun
tain side until he reached the bosom of the
deserted village aforesaid.

Thrilling Moment With a Diver.
from the New Orleans Times Democrat

Il never saw a diver at work but once
in my life," said an experienced bridge
contractor who now resides in New Orleans,
but the occasion is impressed on my mind
by reason of a highly dramatic incident. 1
had a contract for bit of trestle work at
Port Tampa, and hired a well-known diver
named Tom Wallace. to locate some OBJ
structions In about thirty feet of water.
He brought his own outfit and helpers and
worked from over the side OF hatboat an
chored above the right spot. On the second
or third day I went out, through mere
curiosity. to watch him. The air pumps
and pressure cylinders Were on the bottom
of the boat, and attached to the side was
rope ladder, on which he descended. The
signal cord and the heavy rubber tube
that supplied him with air were looked
after by boy, and a man attended to the
pump. After Wallace had been down for
a few moments the pump man was called
over to the dock for something other
and left the apparatus In charge of the boy
At that time everything was going all
right, but presently the signal cord gave
three or four tremendous jerks, and I saw
the end of the rope ladder suddenly pull
taut The boy Immediately lost his head.
He jumped for the pump, tried to open a
valve and then began to bawl for the other
helper, while / stood there speeches. not
knowing what had happened or what to do.
The next thing 1 knew Wallace rose up
out Of the water. looking like some horrible
marine monster in his clumsy diving armor.
lifted himself heavily over the side. and fell
sprawling on the deck. The boy ran to
him and began to unscrew the nuts that
held his helmet, but his hands were
trembling violently that he made slow
progress. and acting on sort of inspira-
ton. I snatched up a Ratchet and smashed
the face glass. The sharp splinters cut
Wallace severely about the cheeks and nose
but the blow saved his life. We found out
afterward that the valve at the lower end
Of the air tube had become clogged, andin
ten seconds more he would certainly have
died of suffocation. The first thing he did
when he came to was to lick the helper
and discharge the boy. Next day he was
working as II nothing had happened"
