Congress Will Make a Proper Appro-
priation for the Harbor Work at
KenOsha and Racine.
ENGINEER REPORTS FAv0RABLY.
Work at the Two Cities will be Finished
up Probably During the Coming sum
mer.-Little Hope for Building.

/ Kenosha and Racine harbors will be
properly cared for, as telegram to
the Milwaukee Sentinel this morning
from Washington states that the ar
Engagements have been made for an ap-
preparation not only for the continu-
ance of the work at Kenosha and RAJ
Icine, but that the plans for the extern
sion Of the piers at the two cities have
been approved by the engineer in
charge Of this district.
No mention is made of the amount
appropriated for the two cities, but it
is stated that It wil1a be sufficient to
make all surveys and complete the
work Of extending the breakwaters.
The amount asked for the work at the
i two cities was 900. but the recent
announcement of the contents of the
river and harborl bill gave the two
cities appropriations of less than thirty
| thousand dollars. It is supposed that
the plans for the new workHwere re-
ceived later and that the work seemed
so necessary that the appropriation
was tackled onto the bill at the
last moment. If the appropriation
goes through the work Of extending
| the breakwater at Kenosha will proba-
1 bly,. be done during the present year
and work will be furnished for large
force of workmen.
Little Chance For Kenosha.
II the statements of the post master
at Baraboo are to be believed there is
little chance of an appropriation being
made for the building of public
building at Kenosha. r3'The Baraboo
man claims that he has received pri-
vate message from Washington In
which it is stated that recent confer
ence of the committee in charge of ap-
preparations for buildings plans for
n the drafting of the new bill were made.
By the agreement of the members &C
lcording to the story, Wisconsin was to
receive but two more public buildings
during the present session of Congress
and these we're to be located at Bara-
boo and Waupun.
Of course it is possible that the state
ments of the Baraboo Postmaster are
true, but he must have been wrongly
advised, as u is shardly possible that
Congress would allow building for
these cities and turn down Kenosha,
which has an Office doing business
almost as great as the two other offices
put together.
| While no oficialssstatement has been
received here, the Postmaster refuses
to accept the statements as final and
still hopes for an appropriation for Ke-
nosha.

WAR OFFICIALS NOT
IN LEAST SURPRISED
Knew Friars Would Be Re-
moved From Philippines.
Claim That Private information Re-
ceived Scme Time Ago Foretold
Action OF Vatican.

We'll informed officials OF the War De-
rartment are not in the least surprised
at the statements cabled from Rome to
the effect that the Vatican intends that
the friars of the Augustinian. Domi-
nican, franciscan and Recolleto orders
now in Manila, shall leave there grad
uall..
Private information received by the
War Department some time ago indi-
Gated that the Vatican would take such
action after d zil9rt period OF time.
Best Interests Of Church.
1t is not expected at the department
that any serious obstacles will be rails
cd to the ccnsummaticn of this plan
by the friars themselves. The religious
authorities here and in Rome admit
1t will be for the best interest of the
church to send the friars now ir Manila
out of the Philippines and have them
relieved as far as is possible by Amer
lean Augustinians.
Before Governor Taft left Rome the
Administration was aware that the ne
gotiaticns would ultimately terminate
to the complete satisfaction of the Gov
ernment.

IN VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS.
Many Resorts on Line of the Chesa
peake and Ohio Railway.

One of the most delightful sections
of the country in which to pass the
hot summer days is the famous noun
tain region OF the Virginias, on the
line OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
way. No rail line in the United States
can offer to the pleasure and health
seeker so great variety of attractions.
The numerous medicinal springs that
plenteously dot the territory were re-
sorted to by the Indians long before the
white man came. and in the legends OF
the aborigines they are regarded
holy places. Among the most noted
springs of this character are those To-
Gated in the great Warm Springs VAL
ley, and chief of these are the Virginia
Hot Springs, the Warm Sulphur Springs,
and the Healing Springs, at an eleva-
tion OF $500 feet, and environed by
mountains rising 500 feet higher, which
make the air delightful in the shade and
the nights cool even in the warmest
weather.
These resorts are as popular as they
are valuable in restoring health and
strength. and are patronized for their
social advantages as well as Tor their
salubrious surroundings. They, as we'll
as Greenbrier White Sulphur, Old Sweet,
Sweet Chalybeate. Red Sulphur, Salt
Sulphur, Rockbridge Alum, Cold Sui
phur, Natural Bridge, The Allegheny,
and Nimrod Hall are reached by the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in from
six to eight hours ride from Washing
ton.
The scenery on the Chesapeake and
Ohio is grand without being austerc.
Gentle streams flow through messy
banks and over gravel beds. Long Wis
tas open through the rolling mas ses
of hills and mountains. Delightful glades
invite to rest, and one may walk or ride
with perfect comfort in all directions.
The climate is equable. the days being
mildly warm, tempered by cool evenings
and nights. One does not experience
great degrees of either heat or cold,
and there is always the feeling of energy
and buOyancy that the rare mountain air
inspires.

any combination, although We have been
approached from Cne or the other OF

attention is entirely absorbed in de-

In view of the reports. which are gen
orally accepted, that a Southern Securi-

statement of President Williams is i'm
portant. The scheme planned is TO unite
the Southern Railway, Louisville and
Nashville and the Atlantic Coast Line.

LAD NARROWLY ESCAPES
DEATH BY POISONING
Curious Circumstances At
tending Accident.
Took Deadly Drug Without Being OBJ
served-Cause of Suffering Unknown
Until Taken to Hospital

The surgeons at the Emergency Hos
pitaI worked very hard yesterday after
noon to save the life OF little William
Hunt, jr, four years old vino had swal-
lowed five grains of a deadly drug.
After several hours diligent work, the
lad was restored to consciousness, and
was pronounced out of danger last
night
Mrs. Hunt. the child's mother. is en-
tertaining friends at her home. 461 G
Street northwest. Yesterday afternoon
she moved her medicine chest. with
other things out of a bedroom IN order
to accommodate her visitors. The little
boy began to prowl around among the
furniture and things brought from the
room, and, while his mother was busy.
he picked up small bottle, which con-
talked atrOpine and cocaine. aad er1p-
tied it into his mouth.
The strangest part about the case is
that the lad did not receive medical
attention for more than an hour after
he took the drug. and still lives. The
surgeons consider it almost Il miracle
that he did not die within q few mo
mcnts.
No cne knew the lad had taken the
poison until an hour or more afterward.
wtea he was taken sick About 2:30
o'clock his father took him out driving
in his buggy. He did not notice any
thing strange about the lad when they
started from the house. but while he
was driving along f Street, between
First and Second northeast, the lad sud
denly fell against the back of the buggy
in an unconscious condition.
The father uroye hurriedly to a drug
store at Fifth and Streets. and the
proprietor. surmising the seriousness of
the case, tclephoned for the Emergency
Hospital ambulance. and the boy was
hurried there.
The father accompanied his son to the
institution. but could not inform the
surgeons what was the matter with the
boy. They could see, however. by the
dilation of the boys eyes and his gasp
ing for breath that he was suffering
from poison of some description.
Tie stomach pumps were brought into
action and after a while the lad began
to show signs of returning life. The
father was informed that the boy was
cut of danger, and ne hastily hurried
home and informed his wife of what had
happened since he had left home with
his son to go driving.

ARDEN STOCK COMPANY
TAKES ITS LEAVE
Brilliant Audience Witnesses
Final Performance.
Players Have Become Strong Favorites
During Their Stay in Washington
To Return Next SrIing.

A brilliant audience witnessed the fnal
performance of the season by the Edwin
Arden stock company at the Columbia
Theater last night. The house was
packed to its doors, and throughout the
performance of Carmen" there was
much enthusiasm.
Tie company has been in Washington
only six weeks. but during that time
the separate members have won many
admirers among the theatergoers now n
town. Their work has been uniformly
good and the plays presented have been
highly entertaining.
1t Is always with a feeling OF regret
that the local public says gcod-by TO a
stock company. The players never fail
to become strong favorites. and when
the end of tte season comes they arc
always as lcath to go as the public is
TO lose them.
Plans Unsettled
The plans of the company are some
what unsettled now, although the ma
jority OF them will take a much needed
rest. Mr.. Arden will return to New
York Immediately. and in two weeks
will begin rehearsals for Ninety and
Nine" the new play by Ramsay Morris,
in which he will originate the leading
role.
Miss Hall will also go to New York
TO begin work for her appearance in
new play entitled st. Ann" which. it
is said, will have its initial production
here ut the Columbia. Miss Holly will
go to the seashors FOR a few weeks rest
before beginning rehearsals with
Hearts Ahame,' and Mr.. Worsely will
have short rest and join Bertha Gall
land, who will be presented in "Notrs
Dgi9.s'
Mr.. Post has six new productions on
mis- hands and will be so busy thinking
them up that he will have but a few
days vacation, while Miss Melville will
spend the month of August with some
friends on big farm in New York
State. .

POPULAR SHORE RESORT.
Washingtonians Daily Enjoy Pleasures
of Chesapeake Beach.

The crowds of people that flock to
Chesapeake Beach from the Capital City
every day in the week, as well as on
Sundays and holidays, attest to the
fact that Washingtonians appreciate
the blessings OF the salt water rcsort.
II is only an hours ride from the city.
and 1t possesses peculiar attractions
alike for those who wish TO take q sum
mer outing of several weeks. or those
who have only the respite of u day OF a
few hours from the blistering heat of
the city.
Fishing, Grabbing. boating, bathing
and amusements of all kinds are there,
from the merry go-round and scenic
railway TO the cane rack. The boardwalk
is mile in length and there is always
a breeze provided for the perspiring pa
irons.
One OF the great features of the
place is Haley's band. under the per-
sonal leadership of Mr.. Haley. There
are several hotels at the Beach for the
entertainments cf the populace, and there
are also accommodations for those who

NOT TO GO TO PANAMA.

The orders to the gunboat Marietta to
go to Colon or the perturbed lsthmus OF
Panama, where American interests are
important. have been rescinded, and un-
der new orders she left Port of Spain,
Trinidad, yesterday for the Onnoco
River. which has been declared block
AIDED by the Venezuelan government.
There is now no American warship on
the Atlantic side OF the isthmus.
The Marietta's orders have been Ie-
scinded three times lately. With revo-
lutionary disturbances going on In four
Latin-A American countries the Marietta
and the Machias have had a pretty busy
time seeing that American citizens and
their property have not suffered IN the
districts where political disorders have
occurred.

ARMY INEFFICIENCY
DUE TO CONGRESS

broken without single mishap to the
gun.
Ever since the return of the gun car
riage board to Washington this subject
has been discussed freely by the ofIl-
GERS of the army. and it Is explained
that owing to the Importance OF the
situation an extra effort is TO be made
during the coming session of Congress
to secure an increased allowance for
ammunition for target practice.
1t IS very probable that some very
plain reports will be made by the Sec
rotary OF War to Congress, in which
there will be no hesitancy about point
ing out that only by the most energetic
target practice with the guns under full
service conditions can the present weak
ness of the detenses be remedied.

Newspaper Advertising a Success.

Up to about 1900 the concern had not
done any advertising in any OF the
newspapers, as the policy of the store
had been very conservative. AS an ex-
pertinent at this time they made ar
rangements with the local daily papers
for a certain amount OF space each
week. Since that time they have con-
tinued as advertisers, and are firm be-
li.vers in the policy.
Three times in as many years 1t has
been necessary TO enlarge the building
at Seventh and l Streets, and today II
compares favorably with any store in
Washington. 1t contains all the modern
equipment of an up-to-date establish
ment and every convenience for the
comfort of the patrons is looked after.

FATHER TAKES SONS
INTO PARTNERSHIP
New Firm Comprises Rein
hardt Silk House.
Quick Expansion From Small Begin.
nings of Now Recognized Local
Business Success.

Mr.. T. B. Reinhardt. who has for many
years conducted a dry goods and silk
house at the corner of Seventh and !
Streets northwest, has taken into part
nership his two sons. Messrs. George W.
and Tony L. Reinhardt. Mr. Reinhardt
has conducted the store himself since
1876.
The Reinhardt Silk House. by which
name the establishment is known, is
one OF the notable business successes
in Washington. Mr.. Tony b. Reinhardt,
the present senior member of the firm,
came to Washington nearly a quarter
of century ago. after clerkship of
eight years in Baltimore silk house.
He opened a store at 1908 Seventh
Street northwest. In this place he had
but six hundred square feet of store
room. After five years he was forced
to move into larger quarters.
His First Expansion.
From his first store ne moved TO go
Seventh Street. where he had about
800 square feet of space. He occupied
this place for about nine years. when he
made extensive alterations.
During this time the reputation OF the
store had grown great deal faster than
Its size. Expert knowledge OF the silk
trade of a high order has always en-
abled the Reinhardt Silk House to com
pete with larger concerns. In 1889 the
large building at the corner OF Seventh
and l Streets was purchased by Mr..
Renhardt, and in April, 1900. afte. ex-
tensive alterations. he was able to move
into It, thoroughly equipped and up
to-date store.
