On Sunday afternoon at the Univer-
salist church Rev. j. p. Marvin ad-
dressed the Grand Army and Wo-
mans Relief corps, the organizations
attending in a body, and occupying
the front seats. The church was ap-
propriately decorated with flags and
bunting, and a great profusiOn of pot
ted plants and cut flowers. The altar
was draped with the American flag,
and the beautiful silk flag, a gift to
Sheridan post from the late eX-Lieut.
Gov w. II. Halle of Massachusetts,
adorned the organ. The railing in
front of the choir was artistically
draped with bunting, and on one end
was placed a reminder of war; a
mounted cannon, while the other end
bore the emblem of peace and vic
tory, a floral wreath, Each side of
the pulpit, on the floor of the church,
was an A tent with the guns stacked
in front, and haVersacks, canteens,
swords, and other paraphernalia of
war were hung about. Each tent
was fittingly surmounted by the stars
and stripes. These with the bank
ings of flowers and plants made an
unusually handsome arrangement
The choir, assisted by Mr.. Leonard of
Winchester, rendered special music.
The solo, "The Way of Peace" by
Mr.. Leonard, was a pleasing feature
of the services. Mr.. Marvin's SER
mon was from Isaiah liza, and they

shares, and their spears into pruning
hooks; nation shall not lift up sword

The Pre.Memorial Exercises.

Patriotic exercises were held in all
the village schools Wednesday, and
with them all except the grammar
and High schools were closed. The
exercises in the Depot street building
took place in the morning and those
in the lie Bert and High school build
ings in the afternoon. Each room
was handsomely and appropriately
decorated with flags, bunting, plants
and flowers. In this, as well as the
very interesting exercises, teachers
and pupils had spent much time and
care. Delegations were present from
the Grand Army and Woman's Relief
corps, also the three members of the
board of education. and goodly num-
Der of parents and friends. The
recitations were well rendered. and
the selections were appropriate to the
occasion. A noticeable feature was
the singing of the pupils, this dem
onstrating the fact that it was
no mistake putting the study of music
into the schools. These annivcrsa-
rics have become an established Gus
tom, and seem to be enjoyed by all
concerned.

RECOMMENDS A METER.
Reasons Assigned for Cutting Off
Water supply From Premises.


Mr. o. NJ. Bryant invited the attention of
the District Commissioners several days
ago to the fact that the water had been
turned off In premises of one of his ten
ants at 4A New Jersey avenue, although
the water rent had been paid. The mat
ter was referred to the water department,
from which a report has come to the ef-
feet that six-horse-power gas engine was
found in use on the premises in question,
and that the matter having been brought
to the attention of the department, bill
for s24, made out according to the schedule
of water rates, was sent, and upon failure
to pay it the water was cut off. But pend
ing settlement Of the case the supply
was restored.
The schedule of rates stipulates a charge
of 81 per horse power for gas engines, and
it matters not, the water department states.
whether much or little water Is used. The
only way, it claims, to determine the ex-
act amount consumed is by meter measure
ments, and as the premises in question, as
now rated, come within the category of
places requiring meters, 1t is recommended
by the water department that an order to
meter the premises served be allowed to
stand.
The Engineer Commissioner Capt. Beach,
who has immediate supervision of the
water department, has approved the rec
ommendation and forwarded the papers in
the case to his associates.

WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
Attorney Advises Against Granting q
ReUneaf.

The attorney for the District, Mr.. A. B..
Duvall, has advised the Commissioners
to deny the request of the Real Estate
Title Insurance Company that David NJ
Hess be allowed to pay part of the water
main assessment against the south 1880
feet of lot 266. square 1900, and 40 feet of
lot 2S5, same square.
The water main assessment against lot
2S5 says Mr.. Duvall, was levied August
25, 1894, and against lot 266 May 10, 1899.
Mr. Hess is the owner Of four feet Of the
1880 feet Of lot 26s and of twenty feet of
the forty feet Of lot 2S5, and desires to
make this payment IN order to release his
part of these lots, the owner Of the re-
naming parts being unwilling to unite
with him in the payment Of the entire tax.
After reciting the law, Mr.. Duvan says
he is Of the opinion that the assessment Is
an entirety, and that in the absence Of
statutory provision enabling them so to do
the Commissioners are without authority to
receive part Of the assessment and release
part Of the lot upon which the tax has been
levied.
