II know" she said again. so sudden
ly that the old maltese eat stopped
making his toilet and glanced at his
mistress in establishment, that people
would say woman In her sixties was
too old for such bright colors; but
faint for them, it's for Jim, and / shall
never wear II until they lay me beside
him over there in the old cemetery"
Early next msrning one might have
seen Miss Lorinda setting out for town,
twelve miles distant.
jogging along behind the old white
horse Miss Lorinda fell into a reverie
and almost fancled herself a girl again
going to buy her wedding dress, wher
suddenly she heard scream.
Ii came from a dilapidated cottage,
to which Miss Lorinda drew up.
On entering, an emaciated, peak-fac-
ed woman. holding tiny morsel OF hu-
manity in her arms, confronted her.
The womans story was brief and
fearful. II was one Of awful privation
and as she finished IL she pointed to the
farther corner, where, upon the apol-
ogy for bed, lay her dead husband,
consumptions victim.
No money for burial, food or cloth
ing.
Miss Lorinda listened with plying
tears running down her own face.
Her hand went to her pocket where
the precious $50 lay, the fruit of much
hard labor and self-denial; then II
came away again-empty.
No, she couldn't give IL up: she could
never save II again; and the lilac silk
had been a cherished dream too long;
let the Town" help her.
Then the thought OF Jim came once
more. Suppose they had been married
and some one had found her to-day as
she had found this woman
Her hand sought the pocket once
more, and this time il did not come
away empty.
Later, az she drove home through the
sunshine, she murmured dreamily to
herself:
81 dunno how tits, but feel as II jim
knew and was happier about our an
niversary than as II l had bought the
lilac silk"

WANT TO DEPOSIT ASHES.
Steamboat Men Seek a Modification
of u Law.

of q Law.
A large delegation of vessel owners from
Maryland and Virginia called upon Secre-
tary Root and General Wilson, chief Of en-
gineers, at the War Department today with
the view to having their assistance in OBJ
tanning a modification Of existing law which
practically prohibits the dumping of ashes
in any part of Chesapeake bay and its trib-
utaries. The members of the delegation
represented that they are naturally inter-
ested in the protection and preservation Of
the navigable waters used by their ves-
sells. but that their business is seriously
hampered by an Interpretation Of the law
practically prohibiting the use for the de-
posit of ashes Of any portion Of the waters
used by them.
Their appeal for reief is due to the re-
cent action Of United States Commissioner
Rogers in committing Capt. James Mason
of the Old Bay line steamer CASTOR for the
action of the United States grand jury on
the charge of dumping ashes into the Pa
tapsco river and Chesapeake bay What
they desired Of the War Department was
the designation OF certain specified limits
within which the necessary dumping Of
ashes from the steamers might be permit
ted. They asked this in the interests Of
navigation and to obtain harmony of action
by the steamship owners.
Ths delegation was accompanied by Sen
ator McComas and Representative Wachter
of Maryland. and included J. Southgate
Lennon, general counsel Of the Bay line;
Clarence Shriver of the New York and Bal
timore Transportation line and the Ericsson
line. George Warfield Of the Chester River

PRACTICALLY WORN OUT,
New Elevator Machinery Needed IN
the Washington Monument.


According to report made to the War
officer in charge of public buildings and
grounds, the machinery Used in operating
the elevator in the Washington monument
is practically worn cut. He therefore SUBJ
mits an estimate of see, 500 for replacing the
present system by an electric installation,
and recommends that the matter be brought
to the attention of Congress with view to
early action. The condition of the ma
chinery was discovered on the Sth ultimo
when the escape of steam in the engine
room tecame so great that ii was necessary
to shut down the machinery for repairs.
At the same time an investigation was made
OF the elevator engine, and showed that it
was practically worn out. This engine has
rendered long and good service, having been
In constant use during the entire reconstruc-
tton of the monument in hoisting the ma
terial used in the v ork.
Pending action upon the application for
an electric elevator plant, the old engine
has been put in repair, in order that the
elevator may be kept in operation for the
accommodation Of the constant crowd OF
visitors who desire to ascend to the top of
the shaft. These repairs required the stop
ping of the elevator from the 11th to the oath
ultimo, and during that period all visitors
to the top of the monument were compelled
to make the ascent by the stairway. The
machinery has been carefully repaired, and
the elevator made perfectly safe. Inspec-
tions are made every morning to see that
the elevator is in safe condition before it is
put into use. During the past month there
were 1880 visitors to the top of the monu-
nlent. of which number 1895 used the ele-
yator and 3,435 the stairway. making q
total of 1,7S9,699 persons who have visited
the top since the shaft was fiji st opened 10
