about the room animatedly discussing
their various important affairs. when

Bishop Nicholson OF The Milwaukee
Episcopal diocese has created senssi-
iion among the priests and laitJ OF the
diocese by issuing sort OF a pronuh.

The bishop maintains there Is not one
trace Of spiritual help or physical gain
from the use of tobacco. but untold
evils have resulted from Its use.

had thrown ray of its very own
light, dimpled and fresh and petite
and ingenious. She had no theories
about platonic affection. the perfect
control of the passions. the value OF
self denial to increase spirituality or
any of the others. She was conscious
only that she was full of life and glad
ness and reveled in mere existence.
She was tender and sympathetic and
laughter and tears were equally near
to her blue eyes.
Thornton and Eva La Sharpe met
casually and were mutually attracted.
She had heard whispers of his dreary
home life and when she saw the shad-
ows in his eyes. her own shone with
sympathy. And sympathy is dan
gerous emotion for beautiful woman
to feel for handsome man.
She was destined by her ambitious
mamma to be the bride of Herman

cate the scheme can do SO only upon the

WATER SUPPLY AT FORT MYER,
Success Attends the Operation of a
Filtration Plant.

QuartermaSter General Ludington has re-
ceived reports from Col Miller and Lieut.
Holman, Corps Of Engineers, in regard to
the erection Of a filtration plant for the
water supply at Fort Myer, Va Since the
establishment of that post up to the COM
mencement Of the work in question the
water supply at Fort Myer has been very
unsatisfactory. At first the water was OBJ
talned from shallow wells, but was INSULT
cient In quantity and poor in quality. Elk
haust1ve efforts were then made to obtain
supply from deep wells, resulting In fall
ure. Inc Potomac river was next resorted
TO as source. A pumping station was
erected at Rosslyn near the end of the
Aqueduct bridge, and a supply procured
sufhc1ent in quantity, but poor in quality

In February last it was decided to erect
Hllratlon plant as the most feasible and
least expensive method Of supplying the
post with water. An allowance Of $1,000
was maze Tor the purpose and the execution
OF the work was intrusted to Col Miller
ana Lieut. Hoffman, the officers in charge
OF the washington aqueduct. According to
tne reports submitted by those officers, a
d
par1son OF costs showed conclusively that
the mechanical system of filtration was best
adapted for the work, as well as the most
economical in first cost and in operation.
II L was estimated that a plant having a
dally capacity Of 100000 gallons would cost
$500. eos'
Work was begun as soon as the funds
became. available and SO prosecuted that in
two and half months thereafter a clear

iurnlshed at the rate Of 100000 gallons

tive and faithful service, was never
captured and but once wounded,
but in the fourth year, 1884, his

dren were the result of this union.
In 1886 he was elected Register of

health began to decline, and later
his mental faculties became i'm

was placed in the Western Hospit-
al for the Insane. Peete Day, as
he was Familiarity called, was gen.

will regret to learn of his death.
His remains were buried Wednes-
