The Congregational church in Rochester,

OF the Oldest religious organizations of the
state. 1t was organized in 1871.

to be held this year on the 22d OF February

the NlngpO mission TO be used as a preach

seem to be significant of falling heathenism
and advancing Christianity.
The Anglican bishop OF Ballarat, Aus
tralla, not long ago made some severe
structures on other denominations at a
church congress held in that city. He de-
scrlbed their church buildings as Scattered,
paltry, often hideous, worship sheds, monu-
ments of partisanship and self opinionative-
ness in religion"
Religious services on the Sabbath have

SANTIAGo'S WATER WORKS.

have to go back to their ~cisterns or else
haul water from the dan by OK teams.
A year passed and then the BENEVOLENT
Spanish colonel resumed the task. For vari-
Gus reasons the size of the pipe was re-
duced to eleven inches and it was ordered
laid under ground wherever practicable and
above ground in other places. bitches were
dug, masonry supporters and aqueducts con-
structed and finally the pipe line crawled
its way into the city amid the cheers Of the
people. Smaller mains were laid, public
water stations erected in various parts of the
town and a supply equal to 200, 900 gallons
daily delivered to the citizens. 1t was
barely sufficient for their needs in those
population, the total supply sutfices for only
six hours of the twenty-four.
1t is a serious question in Santiago-a
question beside which the military and po-
litical aspects are as nothing. The health
and sanitary welfare of the city depend upon
the supplying of pure water to the people
and strenuous efforts are now being made
by the indefatigable governor, General
Leonard Wood, to solve the problem before
the arrival of the next sickly season. Ulti-
mately an entirely new dam and reservoir
will be needed, but for the present several
pumps will be constructed and a series of
wells dug near the city.
The old pipe line will soon have outlived
its usefulness, but it will remain long in the
memory of those who marched with Shafter
before Santiago, as General Toral's april
fool"

GIRLS WHO COULD RIDE.
Bred and Reared on the Range They
Have No Superiors,

Frederick Remington tells, in Crooked
Trails how he went down to the Soledad
ranch, in the state Of Coahuila, Mexico. to
visit the manager of the Mexican Interna-
tional railroad. There was to be a roundup.
with real cowboys, ponies and cattle, all of
them wild, full of thorns, and just out Of
the bush. More than that, the young ladies
Of the family were to ride.
The managers wife appeared, with her
little brood of three, and then two visiting
friends. These 'Soledad girls as | call
them, were we'll bronzed by Mexican sun and
were sturdy little bodies. They were dressed
in short skirts, ~leggings and tam-o'-shanters
and about their waists we're cartridge belts,
with delicate knives and revolvers attached.
They swung their saddles on to the ponies,
and we followed a cowboy off down the road,
the manager and Madam Mamma following
IN a blackboard.
From over the hills came the half wild
cattle, stringing along at a trot, while be-
hind them followed the cowsboys, gay des-
ert figures with brown, pinched faces, long
hair and wild cries. The exhilaration OF
the morning, the tramp of a thousand hoofs,
got into the curls of the three little Misses
Goldenhair and they scurried away into che
thick of the conflict.
The vaqueros dashed hither and thithel
to keep their herds moving in the appointed
direction and the infants screamed in their
childish treble and spurred madly. too. A
bull stood at bay, but a child dashed at him
and he turned and fled.
AS we stood, a massive bull emerged from
the body of the herd, head thrown high, tail
stiff with anger, eye rolling and breath
coming quick. He trotted quickly forward
and, lowering his head, charged through the
punchers.
Instantly a small Soledad girl was after
him, the vaqueros drawing back to delight
in her daring. Her hat flew off and her
long curls tapped in the rushing air, as her

swept the pony and the child.
AS we watched, the chase had gone a
mile away, but little Miss Y~ellowcurls drew

tered him. and, whirling on, headed her
quarry back to the herd.
The rough-a nd-ready American range
boss sat sidewise in his saddle and thought.
He never talked unnecessarily, but appre-
citation was written all over his pose. The
manager and madam felt as though they
were responsible for the wonder of it. The
Mexican cowboys snapped their fingers and
eyes at one another, shouting quick Spanish,
while the American part of the beholders
decided that it was a dream"
Then the bull and the girl came home,
the bull to his fellows, the girl to us. She
had no idea of our admiration, because we
did not tell it. That would have been wrong,
as you can magazine.

Cutting Off santiago's Water Supply Amused

BUT SKATER SMILED LATER ON
An Episode of the Campaign Thrill
ing in Performance and Amusing
In ResuItr-Cnpers Of n jolly
Trooper of Immuncs.

Next to the observation balloon, the cut
ting OF the water main supplying Santiago
was the greatest fizzle, to use a homely
Americauism, OF the late Spanish American
war. When Inspector General Breckenridge
writes his book on the humors of the San
tiago acmpaign he intends to devote a goodly
share of one chapter to that highly ridiculous
episode. 1t furnished the enemy with much
food for mirth at the time, and 1t will
doubtless be laughed at by Americans when
they know the truth. AS Captain Lee, r. A.,
the British expert present during the war,
expressed himself, at was a good strategical
move wasted through unforeseen circum-
stances"
When the American forces left the coast
on their way to attack Santiago II was under
stood that one OF the most important items
in the scheme OF campaign was the speedy
cutting off OF the capitals water supply. 1t
was generally known that this supply was
obtained from a dam somewhere up in the
mountains, and that the water was conveyed
through an iron pipe in the vicinity of Ell
Caney, but just where the pipe could be
found was a mystery. A dozen different
Cuban scouts were interrogated and a dozen
totally different answers secured. Each
brown skinned ally was positive in his as
%sertion, but none offered to lead the Amer
leans TO the spot. Finally, after the third
days battle, a party was sent out from
our lines to locate the pipe and cut 1t at all
hazards.
shutting off their supply of water will
have more effect than a ten days siege with
heavy artillery" remarked one of General
Skaters aides. 1.-THE beggars are not very
partial to water as a rule, but they must
have something to drink"

The party returned and reported that after
many perilous incidents they had succeeded
in breaking the main about four miles from

almost worse than useless, is that II was con-
structed free Of charge and donated to the
city by a Spanish colonel OF artillery. Prior
to 1910 the citizens OF Santiago, a city, mind
you. several centuries old and containing
a population exceeding 10000, were com
PEELED to depend upon cisterns and tanks for
their water. Although there was plenty Of
water back in the mountains six or seven
miles distant, nothing was done by the Span
ish government to convey It to the city.
Coloner Manuel Alvarez, generous Of heart
and plethoric OF purse, sent to Madrid for
private engineers and began the construction
OF a dam in the San Juan hills, six miles
from Santiago. The material was brought
from Spain, but the ordinary laboring work
was done by Cuban prisoners and poems. 1t
was a task of long duration. Roads had to be
built and material hauled by OK teams from
the city wharves. The creek to be utilized
was small and 1t ran down the mountain
side through a tangled jungle of tropical
vegetation. Nowhere was 1t more than a
dozen feet in width.
A limestone wall twenty-five feet high
and FIVE feet thick was thrown across a
little gorge, then an oblong receiving tank
hardly larger than those supplying the ordi-
nary American hotels, was built st one side.
The Spanish engineers labored from day to

months after the commencement, told Colo

How Water Pipes Were Laid.
Now came the question OF laying the pipe
line. The stretch OF country between the
hills and the city was rough and broken.
A rather high hill interposed in the direct
line and 1t would be necessary to skirt it's
base for a couple of miles. Then there
we're two rivers to be crossed and a deep
gully to be spanned. Strange to say neither
the colonel nor his engineers had gone over
the ground before commencing the con-
struction of the dam. They knew that
water could be had in the mountains, but
they forgot that a pipe line over a broken
country was a rather stupendous problem.
