Georges Raise.

There are several children in the family,
and they were talking of their garden.
Il am going. to plant the seeds Uncle
John gave me- said one, "and raise the
most beautiful flowers"
II am going to raise pinks and violets,"
said another.
"And I'm going to raise tube roses" said
the third
But the little boy said nothing.
He had no seeds to plant.
And presently his mother noticed that
he took no part in the chatter, and her
heart smote her.
"And what is George going to raiser"
she asked.
Perhaps Georgie's lip trembled, but his
voice didn't.

achievements Flanked Them Out
and Drove Them Over the Hills
Another Attempt to Retake the
Waterworks-Insur Placing
Guns in Position at Many Points.

New York, March ga dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: After
the insurgents had been driven off,
Monday night, from in front of Ma
riouina they came back 500 strong.
and cut off a company of the First
Nebraska volunteers.
Gen. Hale sent out three companies
of the Nebraska regiment and two
companies of the Second Oregon to
dislodge them. The enemy, who were
holding a strong position among the
rocks, fired excellent volleys at the ad-
va7cing Americans, but the latter, by
flank movement, drove the Filipinos
over the hills. No sooner was this
fight we'll under way than the insur-
gents to the south of the water
works, knowing that the forces there
had been weakened by sending troops
to Mariquina, attacked the water
works in the rear. Their object was
to cut off the pumping station, but
they did not succeed.
Their fire was heavy, and our small
loss was due solely to the bad mark
manship of the Filipinos. The enc
nly's dead numbered 20. Returns now
IN show five Americans wounded.
The insurgents are placing guns in
position at various points.
The opinion of all the prominent
men in Manila is that the military
force of the insurgents must be brok-
Ell before stable government cal be
established IT the islands.
Caught Trying to Mount n Gun.
Manila, March s, 11:25 a. NAT
daylight the enemy were discovered
trying to mount gun across the riv-
er from San Pedro, and the Sixth ar
tiellery promptly shelled the rebel bat
terry. Temporarily stopping work the
enemy poured fusilade of musketry
across the river, but gunboat moved
up and cleared the banks of the
stream with rapid-fire guns.
All was quiet during the night.
Post Offices have been established
at Negroes, Cebu and Iloilo, and the
clerks left, Monday, for their respec-
tive posts by the steamer Espana.
Their Evident Purpose.
Manila, March s, $50 p. m.-While
the rebels had concentrated their
forces with the evident purpose of at
lacking the water works, no direct at
tempt was made to capture the
American position there. Detach-
ments from Gen. Hale's and Gen.
Wheaton's brigades cleared the coun-
try.

How long will the travelling public
on the Elizabeth river have to put up
with the miserable service of the pres
ent ferry lessees. Is it possible, that
with the increased demand for quick
transportation, the ferry privileges
have been leased to parties who have
proved to be unable to meet this de-
mand? This morning the entire service
had to be done by the smallest and
slowest tub" OF the fleet, the "Twin
City" and people from Portsmouth
wishing to go to Norfolk, crossed to
Berkeley in one OF the latest additions
to the fleet. "a nantha launch" walk
ing through the town to the Berkeley
ferry, opposite Norfolk, and at last
reached their destination after a loss
of time of from 80 to 35 minutes. Com
petition is the life of trade, and I hope
that cnterprising capitalists will apply
for a charter 1t the next Legislature
and give the people what is needed, an
up-to-date ferry service. Not only is
the service, if we can call it service,
worse than it has ever been, but l
would invite You to take walk down
to the ferry dock and inspect the
equipment. The boat between Norfolk
and Berkeley is so filthy it must be
shocking 10 every decent person. Why
not apply the "anti-spitting ordnance
to ferry boats as we'll as to sidewalke
and street cars? What is the matter
with the Portsmouth and Norfolk
County Ferry Committees? Are they
doing their duty by allowing this state
of affairs to continue?
Thanking you for the snacc, and hop
ing that my remarks may influence
some" betterment, at least. l remain,

appears as to economical expenditure of
the taxpayers money, I, with many
others, will certainly join hands with
my friend, Mr. Brooke.
/ have understood the object of meters
TO be n saving of water, so that the two
new wards could secure supply and
still not injure the supply in the city
proper. Is there any data to show that
this saving can be effected by the meter
system? If so we have not seen it. The
trouble seems to be not enough main.
/ am not sure, but it would be well for
me individually to have n meter in my
own house. as my WATER TAX has
bccn increased in the past year from
1928 to $4.SS per quarter. or two-fifths
rs much as my city taxation. / GER
tainly must agree with my friend when
he says the subject should be properly
considered by impartial business men,
who have, as believe Mr.. w. T. Brooke
has. the welfare and prosperity of our
city at heart. But my humble judg-
ment from years of experience is that
good and sufficient supply OF water,
not melted out through meter, but
given freely at the lowest possible cost,
is one of the first requisites to a city's
growth. My reason for basing the in
terest at per cent. vast that per cent.
was the amount used on the Church
street. or park main, in the estimate of
the Water Board.
