Head Cut by a Piece Of Flying
Glass

A dispatch to the New York Journal from
Oyster Bay yesterday says:
Teddy Roosevelt. jr., had his forehead
cut open yesterday by a piece of flying bot
tie.
With his brothers, Kermit and Archie he
was celebrating the Fourth in front of his
home in Oyster Bay, when he placed a
giant frecracker in an old bottle.
After the explosion Teddy found his fore
head bleeding from a deep cash. Bystand-
ers rushed to his assistance, but he walked
to his mother. who sat on the veranda and
asked her to bandage the wound. He soon
resumed his merrymaking.
President Roosevelt decided some time
ago that no restraint should be placed on
his sons on the Fourth. He had fireworks
Of every kind sent to the house. and the
boys started Ia early yesterday. They fired
OF toy cannons. discharged blank cartridges
from real pistols sent up large balloons.
and threw torpedoes at the stables.

Deep Water to Alexandria.

Commander John NJ. Hawley, inspec-

returned to Baltimore, from thorough
inspection of the Potomac river lights
and buoys. He personally superintend-
ed the placing of buoys required by the
completion of the dredged channels
about Maryland Point. From there to
Alexandria a ship drawing "a feet Of
water can proceed with safety. When
Washington was thought to have the
call for the Centennial Exposition in
1892 the United States engineers sur
veyed channel from the Kettle Bot
toms to Alexandria and provided for "a
feet of water from the sea to that port,
the idea being to permit men-of-war of
all nations to approach that close to
Washington. Chicago having captured
the prize, the idea was abandoned, but
at different times the work of dredging
the shoal places in the river which inter
ferred with the passage of deep laden
vessels, was continued, until now the
Potomac gives promise Of soon having
a 24-foot channel from the sea to Alex
andria. Commander Hawley says the
Kettle Bottoms, upon which many load
ed vessels have taken up, will in short
time have "a feet of water over them
and thus complete a safe channel through
out the length of the river. He thinks
the dredging on the bottoms will be COM
pleted by October 81.
