Holy Service Procession.

An interesting feature of Holy Week
is what is known in the Catholic Church
as holy service procession. This is con-
Quoted by young girls, attired in white
and carrying flowers, who make pro-
cession through the aisles of the church.
A number of boys, in white robes and
bearing candles, also formed part of the
procession. During the march the girls
stop in front of the altar where the
flowers are deposited. This morning
a large number of young girls and boys
proceeded to st. Mary's Church
where they participated in the service
described above. They presented a
pleasing appearance in their march
through the streets to the church.

pany has been operating but one boat
between the two cities and from indica-
tions the present managers are making
no strenuous exertions in the direction
of increasing their facilities. The sum-
mer season is near, and it would seem il
there is any intention of putting an
other steamer on the line it should have
appeared by this time.

yard being reprinted from stem to stern
and receiving her annual cleaning up.
The tug Baby, now on the railway at

practically rebuilt, and when she is put

pleasure boats belonging to parties in
Washington at his yard for painting and
fitting out for service.
Riyermen are complaining of the poor
light used on the long wharf at Fort
Hunt to prevent approaching vessels
from running into the wharf: The
light, it is said, is often out, and when
lighted is so very dim that it cannot be
made out a hundred feet away. The
wharf projects quite a distance out into
the channel, and several vessels have re-
Gently had narrow escapes from collid-
ing with it.

There was more animation at Fish

LETTER FROM PAGE.


Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette. |
Luray, Va, April 8, 1908.
Seldom has such prospect for wheat
encouraged our Page farmers as that now
growing. The late cold spell did it no
good, but not much harm, it is thought.
Not so with the fruit, however, all the
early kinds having been entirely killed,
and the late apples injured, it is feared.
Page has not had an apple crop for four
years, the fall Of last year having mark
ed the single failure for many years
in which not one gallon Of apple brandy
was made in the county.
1t has been predicted for some years
that the next year would see the bark
and lumber exhausted also, but still the
end is not yet come, though surely now
in sight.
As remarked by one of our farmers,
"They that live the longest will have
the farthest to go for wood" Our
mountains are now almost bare OF tim
Der, and the same is true all along the
west side Of the Blue Ridge skirted by
the railroad.
The death of E. It. Broyles few
days since removes the last actor in the
memorable trial for the killing of ID. b.
Snyder, also a lawyer, in the summer of
1892. 1t will be remembered that after
a protracted newspaper controversy ola
political character, ending in the use of
personal charges and disclosures written
by Snyder and published in county
paper, Broyles met Snyder on the steps
of the postofice building and after spit
ting in his face shot him in The head
from which death followed. A trial
lasting three weeks resulted in the ac-
quittal of Broyles. Mr. Broyles died
after long illness from consumption,
AZ years old. His aged father and
mother are still living at the age of "a
aud so respectively.
The new bank building for the First
National bank of this place is now
under way, the foundations being nearly
completed. This will be fine three story
brick, the upper story to belong to the
Masonic Lodge, on the corner of Main
and Water streets. It will be completed
by early fall and will be a decided i'm
provement to our town.

MUST HAVE WATER.
That Is Most Urgent Need in
North Topeka.

Water, which was below par in North
Topeka Few hours ago. IS now at d
premium. The one thing which North
Topeka now needs worse than any
thing else is a liberal supply of water
the kind which comes in the city mains.
and can be shot out of a fire hose for
the purpose Of washing out the mud
which enfolds the town like a mantle.
DR.. S. G. Stewart and DR.. c. A Nc
Guire came before the city council last
night, with authority from the sanitary
board urging that some sort of q water
main be laid s.cyoss the river as soon
as It can possibly be done
The doctors advocate laying a main
on tie Melan bridge, or any other way
TO get it across the river.
Not only is the water needed for
washing out buildings and streets, but
it is needed for protection against fire.
North Topeka is now absolutely at the
mercy of flames.
The city council took no action in
the matter, but it is likely that a wa
ter main will be placed on the Melan
bridge. and then laid on the few re-
naming portions of the street railway
bridge to reach the north bank
Dr. Mcclure stated that the water
company had informed him that all its
pipe is under water at the pumping sta
ton, and that it will have to wait to
get at the pipe before it can lay any
kind Of a main.
It was suggested that as temporary
measure, water can be carried across
the bridge by means of d line of fire
hose

new ICE TRUST.
City Now Has to Pay Seventeen
Cents More for Ice.

It seems to be fully dine for someone
to organize another mutual ice com
pany- Topeka seems to be in the grip
Of as close a Combine as it was two
years ago,
The city has been trying to contract
for is summers supply of ice. It ad-
vertised a month ago for bids. and re-
eeived one This one was from the
Mutual Ice company, of 371A cents per
100 pounds Last year the same com
pany sold the city its ice for 20 cents
per 100. The council rejected the 37is
cent bid and readvertised. Last nighc
the second lot of bids We're opened. The
Mutual renewed its bid OF 37iz cents.
and the Peoples Ice company bid 40
cents Both bids were rejected.
1t is now I'D to the council and the
council is mad It is likely that th,.
Ice companies will be given a lesson.
Ihey We're not very foxy" to try to get
such a big price out of the city for the
councilmen are thinking seriously new
OF raising the license fee on lee com
oanles to about $500 a year. and max
ing the ice men pay for the increase

NAVAL OFFICERS KICK.
They Are Not Getting Their vaca-
tions and Threaten to Resign.

Washington June 5.-The shortage of
officers in the navy is causing increased
anxiety. Within the past year TIE rule
has been adopted of refusing ensigns
and young lieutenants any leave, for
the reason that they cannot be spared.
This is a violation of the unwritten law
of the navy that every officer is en-
titled TO leave Of absence for one month
each year.
The last congress doubled all future
classes at the naval academy, but the
effect Of this long-needed legislation
will not be felt in the navy for four
years. The young officers axe coming
to the conclusion that they are to have
no leave during the next four years
and they are becoming restless. They
return from a long term of sea duty
only to be ordered away on anothe- two
years cruise after two or three days at
home Many applications for longer
leave which are not granted are being
followed by threats to resign from the
navy. and these are so frequent as to
give the department much concern One
Of the first matters Secretary Moody
will take up on his return next week
viii be an effort to arrange short vaca-
lions for the young officers.

WILL CONDEMN THEM.
City May Take Care Of All Unsafe
Buildings.

An ordinance was passed by the city
council last night for the especial bene-
fit of the buildings which may be found
to have been rendered unsafe by the
North Topeka food. This ordinance
gives the fire marshal the right to con-
denim d building which he finds to be
unsafe and unless the building is made
safe or torn down within three days
the city can do the work and tax the
cost up against the property.
This is one of the few things of value
which We're put into the city charter act
and which the corporation attorneys
left there. Heretofore the city has had
to pay the cost of tearing down unsafe
buildings.
This ordinance was passed as an
emergency under suspension Of the
rules, and will become effective at once
upon publication Chief Wilmarth will
then be able to do effective work in
getting rid of those buildings on the
North side which are unsafe for habita-
ton and a menace to life.
