Towel Used at vlcIsspurg.

Recently the committee headed by
Gen. Rigby of Iowa, to erect a monu-
ment on the Vicksburg battlefield com
memorating the siege of Vicksburg.
addressed Gen. McGinnis and other
surviving members of the Eleventh In
diana infantry, which bore a conspicu-
GUS part in that siege, for data about
the square fort" which was an OBJ
jeCtive point for the division with
which the Eleventh was associated.
The fort was known to the assai,ants
as Fort Lee, and was sometimes des-
ignated as the Green fort" because of
its wellsodded condition. The inquiry
disclosed that the damask towel which
was exhibited on the morning of the
surrender in lieu of the traditionary
white flag, was cut down after the sur
render by one of the Eleventh, and
while portion of it was divided with
his comrades as a souvenir, the greater
part is still in possession of VIII c.
Phipps of Cincinnati and is inscribed,
Piece of the flag that surrendered
Fort Lee, Vicksburg, July 4, 1853"

The value of odd minutes is illus4
trated by a story told in a curious lit
tie volume, recently published, of ad-
vice to young draper. A large firm
required a manager for one of its de-
partments, and appointed ~ o'clock
for arrangement of terms with the
selected applicant. He arrived at five
minutes past ~, to find dozen direct7
ors waiting, the chairman watch in
hand. The chairman announced that
they could not engage a subordinate
who had wasted an hour of his em-
ployers time. And on the applicant
deprecating such exaggeration the
chairman explained that each director
had wasted five minutes, and that
made an hour in all.

Bee Culture for Boys.

If your home is in the suburbs or near
a park the bees will speedily find their
own pasture, and do as well as If To-
Gated in the country. Get one swarm
this spring, and it will send out prob
ably two swarms during the season.
The following spring you will then
have three swarms to start with and
will end the season with, say. nine. An
average swarm will gather 200 pounds
of honey. This at 20 cents a pound
means $40 taken in from each swarm.
First year. 40; second year, S120; third
year, $500; fourth year, l,0S0. BY the
fifth year you will have. very likely,

Here is very surprising trick. ald
1t is calculated to create much aston
ishment. Before the company assem-
bles place a fine black silk thread
from one side of the room to the other,
about six feet from the floor. Do not
have too much light. First wave a
handkerchief through the air and drop
it gently on the line, continuing to
make mysterious passes. Borrow a
fan and fan the handkerchief until II
falls to the ground. You next suspend
light cane in the same manner. After
performing the last trick be sure to
break the thread, so that the COM
pany will not detect your hidden
power.

SoOiable Chimpanzess.

Writing in the London Graphic, Sir
Harry Johnston, X. c. b., has much
to say about strange monkeys, chin
panzees and balloons found by him IN
tie Uganda Protectorate. His special
pet is Miss Eleanor Maltravers. Elean-
or is almost human. The natives told
the explorer great deal about the
chimpanzee's habits, such as its build
ing houses (shelters) in the trees.
They said that it is the male chin
panzee's habit to sleep with his back
to the tree trunk. The natives of Toro
repeat the assertions of Emin Pasha
to the effect that the chimpanzees are
rather fond of beating with their
hands hollow tree trunks which they
find in the forest, and of shouting in
accompaniment TO this primitive mu-
sic. The chimpanzees are certainly
very noisy when they believe them
selves to be unobserved.

A NEW NATER SUPPLY.

The recent decision Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States in case involving the right Of
this city to use the water of the Byram River is
interpreted indicating the right of the city to
take for its use the water of the Ten Mile River,
also subject, of course, TO payment of suitable
indemnity 10 property owners who may suffer
actual damage because of such diversion OF the
water. The meaning Of this 10 NeW-York is
highly important. 1t practically opens to the
city considerable water supply, which is close
at hand, quickly 70 be obtained, and of all pro-
posed supplies by far the least expensive,
The Ten Mile River watershed lies just north
Of the Croton, touching the latter at Pawling.
1t covers about two hundred square miles of
land, and can easily furnish 100000 gallons
a day, or one-half as much as the entire Croton
system. Little work would be needed TO secure
this A dam would be needed at Webatuck and
another small one at Pawling. Through the
sluiceway of the latter the water from the Ten
Mile River would flow by gravity into the East
Branch of the Croton, and thence down to Gro
ton Lake and through the existing aGueducts 10
New-York. Probably the aqueducts would have
TO be enlarged to carry it all. They have a
maximum capacity of about 3s0.O00,000 gallons
a day. When the Cornell Dam is finished the
present Croton system will furnish 300,0o0,000
gallons a day and the addition of the Ten Mile
River supply would raise that amount to 49,
100000 gallons.
The cheapness of this supply would be even
more marked than the simplicity of securing it.
The Ramapo grabbers, il will be remembered
proposed to extort from the city $40 a million
gallons. The present cost of Croton water is a
little more than S25 a million, and will be re-
duced to $50 when the new dam is finished. A
filtered supply from the Hudson above Pough-
keepsie would cost $40 Water from Esopus
Greek would cost $50 and from the Waikiki and
Shawangunk at least $50. From the Adiron-
dacks it would cost. according to various est
mates from So TO $40. But from Ten Mile
River with generous allowances for condemna-
ton and indemnity proceedings, it would cost
less than SO a million gallons or not more than
half as much as that from any other available
source.
There is still another supply. directly adjoin-
ing that of the Ten Mile River and connected
with it. That is that of the upper Housatonic
River. That stream, however, lies east of the
Connecticut line, ard could not be drawn upon
without the consent Of that State. Whether
that could be obtained is doubtful If it could
be the New-York water problem would be
solved for a century to come For the upper
Housatonic and Ten Mile rivers together could
furnish by gravity flow 900 gallons of
water day, at cost of not more than $40
million II. however, the Housatonic be not
available. the Ten Mile River certainly is. and
thls supreme Court decision will therefore af-
ford much food for practical thought upon the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1902-04-09
NO PROHIBITION IN MANITOBA.

.'of bringing the Liquor act into force on the
first day of June 1902 The popular answer
was so overwhelmingly in the negative that
prohibition is regarded by many observers as
eliminated from the politics of the province for
years TO come.
The history of the agitation is not particu-
larly matter of pride TO the Conservatives,
though they have succeeded in extricating
themselves from the unpleasant necessity of
enforcing law which was passed by them for
political purposes in the Dominion electoral
campaign of 1900, when the adoption of such
a measure, it hoped, might attract pro-
hibition votes to the candidates of the party
throughout Canada. An appeal to the Privy
Council having established the validity of the
act, the government turned to the principle of
its action. processing itself ready TO abide by

THE BEDELL BILL.

Opposition 10 the Betlell bill designed TO en-
able the New York Central Railroad to improve
its terminal facilities. has grown fast and il
now seems certain that the protest which is to
be made at the hearing before the Governor to-
day will be of an unusually formidable charac-
ter. This il itself is CreIitable and encouras-
Ing for ii indicates q widespread determine
ton on the part OF intelligent citizens TO defend
public interests which in the past have been COM
monty neglected and often betrayed. Moreover.
in this instance there is 10 general feeling that
an injurious measure was put through the leSis-
!ature by trickery, or that anybody connected
with the matter was guilty Of bad faith. That
is 10 say, there is no scandal TO account for the
swift development of hostility Assemblyman
Bedell has evnced not unnaturally. consider
able annoyance at finding the bill which bears
his name and for which he may fairly hold the
city authorities responsible, suddenly assailec
as a serious menace to the community for whose
benefit it was warmly advocated. Bit we 90
not think he needs TO be much disturbed. He
still considers il justi1able piece OF legislation
we believe, but those who entertain radically
different opinion have not suspected him Of any
wrong intention or charged him with an mex
cusable error of judgment.
Carelessness was unQuestionably shown, and
rnunicipal officials who overlooked the grave OBJ
iectionS which the Governor VIII nSuen TO-
day are in a rather awkward position. They
should have given more thorough consideration
to the questions involved, and have saved the
city from the misfortunes to which it will be eX-
posed whether the bill Is signed or vetoed. 1t is
possible that the railroad company would be
able under existing laws to procure the privi-
leges which it requires, but the Counsel to the
Corporation asserts that special legislation OF
some sort is necessary, and there seems TO be a
strong probability that veto of the Bedeli bill
would mean a postponement Of action to re-
model the tunnel for at least a year Never
1heless there is no apparent escape from the
conclusion that the bill ought to be vetoed. 1t
destroys safeguards which, though in particu-
lar case they might not be Indispensable. the
public cannot afford TO relinquish, and it lodges
dangerous powers where they are liable 10
abuse. Altogether, the affair is striking and,
we hope, instructive example Of bad man.
agement in a good cause. The Governor will.
OF course. attend with an open mind to any ar
cuments which may be presented in support Of
the bill. hut thus far there is practically only
one side to the case. and that demands its re-
lection.
