SPRINKLERS THE CAUSE OF 1T.
Mr. Boiling Explains the Slack Water
Pressure III Many buildings

Superintendent Charles E. Boiling was
seen yesterday in regard 10 few COM
plants as to the light pressure of water
in the pipes in the upper stories Of build
ings at certain hours during the day
Nh Boiling says that the pressure is
probably lessened on account of the fact
that the street sprinkiers draw from the
water mains at certain hours during the
day. Late in the evening the street sprink-
lers draw a great deal of water from the
mains along Grace and Franklin Streets
in order TO settle the dust and prepare for
the street sweepers, which are at work
throughout the night.
The pressure OF water in general, how
ever, is as great. if not greater, at this
time of the year than at any other time,
and this explanation will suffice for the
few complaints that have been made.
Some of the residents allow the water
to run on lower floors. while they are
wanting il in the upper parcs of the build
ings.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS.
The Worlds Convention Opened Yes
tcrday in London.

LONDON, July 1t-Aexandria Palace.
rivalng in size and conspicuousness Madi-
son Square Garden. and surrounding one
of the highest spots in all London, presented
a brilliant spectacle tonight when lc,VVo
members OF the Society OF Christian En-
dsavor opened thu worlds convention
The night session was preceded by an al
ternoon organ recital, an immense chorus
rendering familiar Christian Endeavor
songs. accompanied by one Of the greatest
organs in all England. This was followed
by a second musical service and six sinful
taneous secondary services.
One Of the most interesting meetings was
held at Albert Hall. Crowds overlooked
every available space. and it is safe to say
that seldom have two such religious gath
erings ever startled lethargic London.
DR.. Monroe Gibson, formerly of To-
ronto, now of London, welcomed the mem
bers of the Society of Christian Endeavor
in behalf of all England. Hon. Secretary
Rev. S. W. Mcknight also made an elo
quent welcoming address.
The responses were by Chaplain Rev.
w Tracy, of Philadelphia; DR.. Newman
Hall and Rev. W. Patterson, of Canada.
Both addresses and responses were made
in the most cordial terms.
AS Father" Clark had gone to Albert
Hall, General Secretary Willis Baer of
Boston, responded. Secretary Baer paid a
high tribute to the chaplain of the steamer
Saale, who, he said, Ind lost his life
while doing all in his power to save three
hundred others, many of whom had lost
their lives
Among the speakers this evening was
Helen Richardson, who made a splendid
address Of welcome. Meantime at Albert
Hall similar scenes We're enacted in the
immense auditorium, which vbrated with
an immense Christian Endeavor chorus
Many addresses were made by the Ameri-
cans.
