MISS SORABJrS MISSION.
She Is Here q Raise Fund for Parsee
schools I'm India.

Miss Susie Sorabji, daughter OF one Of
the first Parsee converts 20 Christianity,
the Rev. Sorabji Of the Church Missionary
Society, Is now In this country to solicit
aid to carry on the educational work be-
gun by her mother twenty-five years ago.
Mrs. Sorabji founded a school in Poona,
India, In which the children Of the upper
classes Of English, Parsees, Mohammcdans
and Hindus may be educated. Miss So
rabbi and her assistants also carry on three
other schools. One of these is exclusively
for Parsees and here n nominal fee is
charged. The two others, which are for
Mohammedans and Hindus, provide free
education for these classes. II is in the
interest of these schools that Miss Sorabji
has come to America.
II has become imperative TO build a
house to contain the schools and this will
entail an expenditure of between 5000 and
5000. The children left AT the school
are now holding prayer meetings for the
success of Miss Sorabjis mission here.
She is cordially recommended by Bishop
Potter and the Bishop oil Bombay. All
subscriptions should be sent TO Brown
Bros. \ Co, so Wall Street, New York.
Among the committee are: Mrs. A. Duane
Pell, Mrs. Seth Barton French, Mrs. Ioril-

thing from which to frame his adj
dress he said n volume came to his
hand containing the original charter
under which the city was formed i'm
1S49 with the later one of 1857 and the
ordinance passed in the intervening
period. \ comparison of the provis-
ions under which the city was gov
erned. Mr.. Haas said. with those of
the present day naturally led one to
wonder why the special charter had
ever been given up for the one pre-
scribed by the common law of the
state. Its trainers had anticipated
the needs of Il municipality in n man
ner that he believed could not be inn
proved upon. Referring TO the pres
ent charter. the speaker took, occa-
sion to remark that all cities are but
the creatures of law, and as one of
the instances of peculiar working of
that law. he noted the fact that with
the need of revenue growing and the
tax rate fixed there was positive
falling off i'm the assessed valuation
of the city between the years 1880
and 1895. He closed with n tribute to
the saving powers of the department
upon which he spoke.

name and the head office of the

Banking and business.
Banking and Business Interests"
was the topic handled by Phil Mitcn-
ell. In part he said: The growth
of the city's banking interests may
be judged from the fact that in 1873
the deposits in the banks here
amounted to but 100000, while now
they amount to over $4,O00.00O. In
1856 there were four banks in Rock
Island, but at the end of the period
of depression of the next two years
there was left but one. At that time
most of the currency in circulation
hereabouts was issued in the form
of checks by the bank here and the
one in Davenport. At this time the
banking business was at its lowest
ebb and it's growth from that time
has been normal. The past decade
has been the most marked in the ma
terial advance of the community. 1t
is gratifying to note that statistics
show n better rate of progress here
than i'm either of our sister cities dur
ing the corresponding period. Rock
Island may also claim the honor of
having the first railroad line on the
Mississippi and the first bridge tn
=. e ..fff .g.
IL had the first gas works, water
works, electric lights. street cars and
paved streets. Never before were our
prospects brighter. We form the
center of community of over 10000
inhabitants and with the forces that
are at work here l predict that an
other decade will raise the number To
nearly 100000 people"

they had no show; that Rock Island
alone, if it was located in the west,
was the only point that could secure
it. Alton was there with a deIega-

other Senator Browning. Spring

Transportation Facilities.
Hon. William AIcEniry, after refer
ring To the Importance of his subject.
that of Transportation Facilities"
declared that ii was one of the great
est with which men have had to deal
in settling this country. In the first
place this community enjoyed the adj
vantages of a large steamboat trade,
which in it's early history was of the
greatest Importance. When the rail
road which bears the city's name
reached this point in its westward
growth, the relative Importance of
the water and rail transportation
may be judged by the decision rem
the steamboat interests appealed for
AN injunction to prevent the bridging
of the Mississippi. The court held
that there was no comparison as. to
the Importance of the two forms of
transportation and that inasmuch as
the piers of the bridge would be n
hindrance to river traffic the court
would have no hesitation i'm granting
the injunction if it were not for the
fact that the pier in question was on
the Illinois side and therefore out of
its jurisdiction. With this as a pre-
face to the delays that are often
placed i'm the way of improving meth
DDS of transportation. the speaker
called attention to the danger that
now menaces the Hennepin canal in
the opposition of Chicago interests to
it's completion, and he cOunseled the
people of this community to keep
alive to their interests on this head.

good work done by the old volunteer

WATER DEPARTMENT.
Ex-Mayor AIednI Discusses Development OF
Local Plant.

Local Plant.
The Water Department was the
topic assigned ex-Mayor r. J. Medill.
who traced the history of municipal
water supply from the date of the
introduction of the first ordinance
for the construction of water
works system in 1871 to the present
day. Continuing. he said: About
the year 1890 Hon. Ben I. Cable as
a memorial to his father. the late
u. l.. Cable. presented to the city
mechanical filter plant. This mu-
nificent gift was greatly appreciated
by our citizens and for a time rem
dered excellent service, but owing to
the constant increase of water con-
sumption. they were soon over taxed
and were abandoned. In the years
of 1894 and 1895 standpipe was
erected on the bluff near the corner
of Ninth avenue and Thirtieth street.
1t has a capacity of 100000 gallons
and renders fire pressure to citi-
Zens of that locality. During the
wears 1898 and 1899 a movement was
made to change the character of
pressure by abandonment of the di-
rect pressure and the substitution
of that of gravity. The construction
of a system of reservoirs was com
menced on the bluff on n tract of 20
acres purchased from the Robinson
syndicate. 1t was proposed. by
pumping the water direct from the
river TO the reservoir to treat il in
n more practical manner. The plan
adopted was the construction of two
large settling basins in which the
water is allowed to stand while pre-
cipitation takes place. From these
basins the water is drawn off to three
sand filters and is allowed To per-
colates through four feet of sand and
one foot of gravel, thus ostensibly
purifying. as we'll as clarifying IT;
from the sand basins it is drawn
through to a storage reservoir, from
whence il is supplied to the city.
The flow line of the storage reser-
voir is some 155 feet above the level
of the business portion of the city,
and about twenty feet lower than the
point in which the water enters the
settling basin, thus il will be seen
the propelling power and the pres
sure given is entirely by gravity, at
ter the water is elevated to the bluff.
This system of filtration is in vogue
in many of the European as well as
American cities. and has under fav-
orable circumstances produced
high state of efficiency.
VIII Come Out All Right.
at is not my intention this even
ing to enter into an exhaustive treat
Use on the efficiency of this incom-
plete plant. for its history and its
merits are known to all of you. We
were somewhat unfortunate in the
early construction of these basins
by following the advice of an mex
perienced engineer, but believe that
all imperfections are now overcome,
and the plant when completed, will |
give the most desired results. This |
