RESCUED FROM wATERY GRAVE.
Young Woman Comes Near Drowning
at Bathing Beach.

A woman whose identity the officials at
the bathing beach refuse to divulge was
rescued from drowning at that place yes
terday afternoon. 1t is said she was about
twenty eight years of age and is just learn
ing to swim
She Went to the beach yesterday after
noon about o'clock, and after donning a
bathing suit entered the water. After
swimming near the shore for some time
she essayed to swim to a float short dis
tance out, and it was this attempt that
would probably have cost her her life had it
not been for the presence of Policeman c.
H. Banagan and Life Guard Jos. Smith. She
had nearly reached the float when some
one saw her wave her arms and disappear
under the surface. A cry Of alarm was
raised, and the officer and the life guard,
the former without removing any Of his
clothing, entered the water and swan to
the spot where she had disappeared and
grabbed her when she came to the sur
face.
She was placed in a boat and removed to
shore, and after resting few minutes was
able to go to her home

EXPENSIVE CONSTRUCTION.
Connection With Water Main Estimat-
ed to Cost S342 600.

The Commissioners have again adhered to
their policy Of not granting an, extension of
water mains to localities where sewerage
facilities have not BEEN provided. They
have notified F. r. Horner Of Brookland
that a water main cannot be laid in Provi-
dence street at this time, It appears that
the part of Brookland referred to, as we'll
as a large section of the District in that
vicinity, is on the far side Of ridge, the
drainage Of which empties into Maryland.
This section, the Commissioners say, cam
not be connected with the present system
of sewers, except by building large trunk
sewer at a cost Of S3420 050 to the District.
The Commissioners say that estimates Of
the cost of such a sewer have been pre-
sented to Congress- but no money has been
appropriated for the purpose Mr.. Horner
is further informed that efforts have been
made at different times to devise a plan to
provide a less expensive system Of sewers,
but that the contour of the ground makes
it impossible to accomplish the object de-
sired except at great cost

A PATHETIC INCIDENT.
Young Filipino Woman's Claim
PromptlY Adjusted

A pathetic incident resulting from the
ravages of cholera in the Philippine Islands
has been brought to light by a claim re-
Gently filed with the Navy Department.
The claim is that of Victorina Vidal a come
ly Filipino maiden, for the small amount Of
Sl5. which she states is due for services
rendered the United States by her father,
Basilio Vadel, and her brother Ramon when
they were stricken with the cholera, which
resulted fatally in both cases.
The death Of her relatives left the young
woman alone in the world and in debt for
their burial. 1t appears from statements
made in the claim that the father was
blacksmith employed at the naval station
at CaNte, while the son and brother filled
the position of clerk at the same place. In
order to secure the clerical place Ramon
Vidal attended the American schools at
Manila and after hard study succeeded in
passing the required examination.
The father and son received $3.50 per
day each tMexican), which is equivalent
to s1.1O each in American currency. They
toiled faithfully, established d little home
near Cavite and were living happily when
they were attacked by the dread plague
Capt. Hanford. comman ndant of the Cavite
naval station, in an Endorsement recon-
mended that the payment of the small claim
be expedited, as the young woman was in
dire distress. This was DONE the claim
passed and the next mail steamer to cross
the Pacific will carry the pittance to the
stricken daughter and sister

NAPHTHA LAUNCH ABLAzE.
Three Occupants Of the Craft Jump
Overheard to Save Themselves.

Three residents of South Washington, w.
F. Braund a saloonkeeper; George Eller-
brook, an electrician, and o. A. Williams,
an employe of a local express company. had
an exciting experience short distance be-
low Fort Washington Saturday. They went
down the river IN naphtha launch and
the boat caught fire. They were soon COM
PEELED to jump overheard to avoid crema-
tion. Braund was painfully burned and his
hair and mustache was singed.
Mr.. Ellerbrook who owns the launch. in
vited his friends to accompany him on a
fishing trip and they started from the
wharf about daybreak A leak in the pipe
through which the gasoline was conveyed
from the tank to the engine was noticed, but
it was SO small that the men thought it
could do no harm. Some thing got wrong
with the engine, and 1t was necessary to
make some repairs, and at this juncture the
fluid that had dripped from the leaky pipe
ignited, causing great blaze. Braund can
not swim and he realized the seriousness of
the situation so far as he was concerned
His clothing caught fire and when he had
been scorched he followed his companions
overheard. Grabbing hold of the gunwale
he chung to the boat. His companions, who
keep up his nerve.
For ten or fifteen minutes Braund clung
to the craft, fearing every minute would be
his last, for he felt almost certain that
the gasoline would explode. No explosion
occurred, however, and with the assistance
of g. beatman in a batteau the three men
were safely landed at Fort Washington
One of the soldiers at the fort also rendered
assistance
Brands injuries were dressed and the
men were given dry clothing. The day was
spent at the fort and 1t was night when
they reached their homes.

THE CATS CAME BACK.
Would Not Take Up Their Residence
at New White Housa

When the Roosevelt family moved away
from the White House to permit the begin
ming of repairs in the interior of that build
ing the children took with them to OYSTER
Bay all the game chickens dogs and cats
that they were personally interested in. and
the servants took to the temporary execu-
tive mansion on Lafayette Square the re-
manning cats and other household pets ex-
pecting to be able to domicile them there.
Two Of the cats, however, would not be
content to remain in their new home and
went back to the old White House They
have remained n the old building continu-
ously since, notwithsta nding the awful
havoc of broken timber, the almost cease
less noise of saws, hammers, chisels and
other instruments and the noises and calls
of workmen. The cats look pretty gaunt al
away and from all appearances are very
well satisfied with their surroundings Each
day at luncheon time the cats make an ap-
pearance in the neighborhood where the
workmen are eating their luncheons and
are given whatever spare food the workmen
have. In this way they secure enough food
to sustain life and to exc out an existence
1t is not thought that they ever get to
feast upon any rats as the noise being
made around the building for the last two
months or more has undoubtedly run all
the rats away. Sometimes the cats man
age to get in among the trees and shrub
berry where the small birds live and secure
a choice meal on some unsuspecting bird,
but their sustenance is by no means as sat
isfa ctory as 1t used to be when the White
House cook gave them big dishes Of good
food left from the table of the Roosevelts
The felines will probably enjoy the return
of the Roosevelt family immensely.
