jagged and vertical precipices, etc, which
had to be overcome. Yet. after careful
and mathematical survey had been made
there were found really few difficulties
which an experienced engineer would not
delight in overcoming: because the rock
precipices and difficult passages were re-
ally below the level which would naturally
be selected for the conduit.
There weres indeed. necessary several
tunnels. of an average length of 220 feet,
ard but three bridges, only one of these
being large enough to make its erection
an object Of ambition to an engineer.
The details and capacity OF the Aque-
duct. as 1t exists today, have frequently
been described. Suffice to say that when
the new tunnel and reservoir are complet-
ed and in working order anakhe filtration
apparatus is likewise developed. Washing
ton will have a water service unsurpassed
by that OF any city in the world.

an easy proposition in the team sent

each of the three games and making
an average of 216 for each game.

THE WOMAN'S CLUB.
Miss Gill, of Kemper Hall, Delivers an
Interesting Lecture Before the
Women of the City.
THE POETS OF THE 18th CENTURY,
The Speaker Talks of the Minor Poets of "a
Great Era and Speaks of Trip Through
England During Last Summer.

One of the most interesting meet
ings ever held by the Women's Club
of Kenosha, was held on Wednesday
afternoon at the Gilbert M, Simmons
Library when the members of the
Club gathered to discuss the topic:
"The Greater Poets and Dramatists of
the 18th Century"
The paper of the afternoon was by
Miss Gill, who delivered lecture on
the English poets of that period, draw
ing her material from 1ife's work of
study and search. In her short talk
Miss Gill did not attempt to take up at
length study of the men and the
books which made this period one of
the most interesting of the whole his
tory of English literature, but de1ving
into the works of almost unknown
writer's Miss Gill found beauties in
the men who had stood in the back
ground. In taking up these men she
paid especial attention to Robert Her
rick, not to his love poems, which are
so we'll known, but to other shorter
works which are among the most pol
1SneQ gems OF the literature VI lHC
period. She spoke of Milton, but not
of the paradise Lost" but of the
earlier poems which are not read So
with other of the greater poets, Miss
Gill read from their writings, and her
splendid reading brought out new
meaning and new beauty.
After her short talk on literature,
Miss Gill made short talk on her trip
in England during the year just past.
She spoke of English country houses
and the charming life of the English
country folk. She spoke of Oxford
and the University, and ended with a
short description of visit in London
during the summer season.
There was no discussion of the pa
per, but the members of the club each
responded to the roll call with quota
tons from Shakespeare or one of his
contemporaries.
The next meeting of the Club will
be held on Oct. Goth, when the mem
bers of the Club will take up a dis
cussion of the Rosettis. The paper of
the day will be read by Mrs. Charles
w. Allen.

Caster Alleges Prejudice, and the
Hearing is venued to Court
Commissioners Hastings.
MORE DELAY IN THE HEARING.
Commissioner Hastings Has Gone to Buffalo
and the Hearing Is Continued Until
Friday, October 18th.

The preliminary hearing of John
Caster, charged with accepting bride
in connection with the passage of the
Kenosha Street Railway ordinance,
came up in Court Commissioner Bakers
court Thursday morning but no prog
ress was made in the case.
AS soon as the case was called the
defendant, through his attorneys Nc
Dowel1 & Kroncke, filed an affidavit
alleging that Commissioner Baker was
preiudiced, and demanding a change
of venue to the nearest Court Commits
sioner. The change was granted and
the case was sent to Court Commits
sioner Hastings.
When the papers were taken to the
second court it was discovered that the
Commissioner had his grip packed and
was ready to start for Buffalo, and for
this reason it was decided to adjourn
the further hearing of the case until
Friday, Oct 18th, when it will be
taken up again.
The adjournment of the Caster case
will materially effect the other hearing
on the cases in which Aldermen Smith
and Pirsch are the defendants, and the
attorneys for the State consented to an
adjournment of the hearing of Caster
on the stipulation that the other cases
should be put over until some action
should be taken in this case.
Caster is evidently preparing to
make hard fight, but the attorneys
for the State claim that the case
against Caster will be strong enough
to bind him over and convict him. A
large number of witnesses had been
summoned to appear at the hearing to-
dav. but none of them were called to
the stand.
The statements which Caster made
in the presence of many witnesses will
be used in the trial, but it will not be
attempted to use the statements as
Caster has signed them. These state
ments were all made in the presence OF
witnesses and these witnesses will be
called to testify to the statements as
made.
Attorney Firthman, of Chicago, will
represent Caster when the matter
comes before the Commissioner, and
he was in the city recently MAX
ing the preliminary arrangements for
the trial of the case.
District Attorney Buckmaster still
holds the warrant for the arrest of
Clausen, but it will in all probability
not be served until after the hearing
of one of the cases is completed.
In the meantime the talk of C1ausen
desiring to come to Kenosha and give
himself up is all rot. If Mr.. Clausen
desires to surrender to the Wisconsin
officers he will not be hindered, and he
will be given an immediate hearing.

MICHIGAN GOES DOWN.
Barry Steamer, Formerly on Kenosha
Run, Sinks in the Lake.


Run, Sinks in the Lake.
The Barry Brothers. Transportation
company steamer State of Michigan,
which was utilized a short time ago on
the Chicago, Waukegan and Kenosha
run is no more for she sank in ten
fathoms of water just off White Lake
early Friday morning. She had left
Muskegon at $3.50 the previous evening
bound for Manistee and when the yes
sci was off White Lake the shaft broke
in two and cut two large holes in the
bottom of the boat. The engineer
shut off the engines and attempted to
investigate but the hold had already
filed with water. The pumps were
started going but the water reached
the furnace fires in fifteen minutes
and extinguished them. Three life
boats were at once launched and the
captain and crew managed to save
their lives.
The Michigan was valued by Cap
tain Miles Barry of Barry Brothers,
the owners, at $4,000, and carried
marine insurance of $4,000. She was
built in 1872 at Manitowoc, and was
first used between that point and Chi
cago in the passenger trade by the
Goodrich Transportation company.
She was purchased by the Barry line
from the Peoples Steamship company
two years ago. No attempt will be
made to raise the wreck.

CLUB ENTERTAINS.
Musical and Literary Features at
Muu9I. ". T.. Church.

Waugh N. E. Church was filed last even
ing by the friends of .'U-p-the-Ladder Club.
who gathered to attend a musical and lit
erary entertainment given by its members
and their little friends to endow a bed in
Sibley Hospital to the memory of one of it's
members, Albert Rudolphus Harper the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Harper, who
died in april, 1909, aged twelve years
This little club was started in October
1898, by Albert and three Of his little
friends. 1t was at his suggestion that it
be named TIP the Labber.' symbolic of
climbing upward. The object of the club is
TO occasionally have a social time and to
raise funds, by means of entertainments, to
relieve the wants of the suffering. Albert
was always greatly interested IN the YORK
of the club, ard his surviving associates
thought there could be no more fitting
tribute paid to his memory than to ,ndow
a bed in Sibley Hospital to reli.aye the sut-
fering of some little child.
The program was of a high order, and
the children won applause by the manner
in which they performed their parts. The
club president. Miss RoSalie Walker. was
especially commended for her untiring eff
forts to make the entertainment success.
The club is composed of children ranging
between the ages of ten and fifteen.
More than the necessary amount to en-
dow the bed was raised much to the graft
fication of those interested. An excellent
program was rendered. in which the follow

weeks With her, when the end came,

+. Pierce of Evanston, H., and DR.. w. w.
Johnston, the attending physician. For a
time before her death Mrs. Gage suffered
considerable pain, but she maintained her
bright and cheerful demeanor and was
conscious to the last. Heart trouble, the
result of grip complications, was the i'm
mediate cause Of death. Mrs. Gage was
exposed to the inclement weather for about
an hour on Inauguration day, but at the
time her health did not seem to have been
affected. On the 18th of March she left
for Evanston to visit her married daugh-
ter. While there she had "A chill and took
to her bed. but soon recovered sufficiently

been confined to her room ever since.

was Cornelia Lansing. She was first mar
ried to Lloyd G. Gage a brother Of the

strong health when their wedding took
place. He died a few years afterward
leaving n daughter now Mrs. l.. +. Pierce
of Chicago Her marriage to Secretary
Gage took place in 1887 at Denver, Col,
he then being a widower- After we'd
ding tour they resided in Chicago until
coming to Washington.
Adapted for Social Demands.
Mrs. Gage was well adapted for the So
cial demands of public life. She was fond
of entertaining and accustomed to large
companies. Her house here was rarely
without guests, the holiday season being
particularly a bright and happy one by
the custom of family reunions and con-
stant entertaining. In Chicago she was
fond of dinner giving, and continued it
here both in and out of the winter sea-
son. She exceedingly gracious and
pleasant in manner, and possessed of wide
