PLANS FOR sANITARIUM.
Seventh Day Adventists to Form a
Corporation.

The recommendations for the holding and
operating of the sanitarium on the church
grounds at Takoma Park. Md, were again
considered and acted upon at the session
this morning of the council of Seventh Day
! Adventists at the church on 18th street. 1t
was decided that a corporation be created
under the laws of the state of Maryland to
hold control ana manage the institution,
and that corporation be organized as
charitable institution and a non-dividend-
paying and non-stock company.
1t voted that the officials of the
church should proceed to purchase addi-
tional land at Takoma Park on which to
locate the printing Office of the conference.
which is to be transferred to that place
from Battle Creek, Mich. The erection OF
the printing office will be commenced as
soon as the land negotiations are COM
pleted.
1t was decided at the meeting last even
ing to place all the church properties in
this city under the direct management of
the general conference, instead of the local
council. In accordance with a resolution
adopted at the session last evening board
of five members will be chosen at a later
date to take charge of all local work of the
church.

the scrutiny all had to give them.
He referred to the practice of navy clerks

Mr.. Ware declared that he desired to I'M
nress IIpon those present the civil service
commissions rules regarding the promotion
of clerks He laid especial emphasis on the
fact that promotions were obtained ohly
through efficiency, and that OUTSIDE press
ure would not be tolerated. The promo
lions in the present case. he said, were
given for promptness and for rendering
services due the government.
Along this line he referred to an lncideht
which occurred only last week. when ne
was compelled to write rather harsh note
to a clerk who had been endeavoring to OBJ
tain promotion through political influence
He expressed the satisfaction that ne Ieit
in the mornings event, but stated that ne
wanted it distinctly understood. not only in
that bureau, but by the outside world, that
those who were promoted secured their pro-
motion through merit. and that he did not
want the outside world to think because
man was advanced he had the influence of
family or Of politics. or that because he was
a pensioner he would be untitled for any
other occupation.
Mr. Ware added that he believed there
were better chances to make money on the
outside but is long as they desired to stay
on the inside he was willing to give them
chance to use him as a reference, and that
if they saw any chance in any other depart
ment for them to go right ahead and he
would assist them. but that he would rather
have them stay In their present bureau.
In closing his remarks he stated that he
hoped they would keep on with their excel
lent records, stating that he wanted to tell
them, as he had done before, that there are
more apples on the same tree. He then in
troduced Mr.. Miller, assistant secretary of
the interior who expressed his pleasure at
being present on the occasion and said that
he could see in the. countenances Of those
present that they had given faithful service.
He realized the difficulties they had 10
meet and the magnitude of the work they
had to perform. and he wished the officers
and employees would feel that there was no
to the bureau on the part of
the board of pensions.

DUE TO THEIR MERIT
WARE ADDRESSES
PROMOTED CLERKS.
Advancement, He Declares, Will NOT
Come Through Family or
Political Appeal.

For the second time within the last SIX
months Commissioner Eugene F. Ware OF
the pension bureau called to his room
forty-three clerks who had recently been
promoted to tell them what he thought
of their work and why they were pro-
noted In the party there were five woman
clerks and one negro. The promotions rep
resent all that have been made IN the pu-
reau since the LIST of June. Mr. ware
idea in having the clerks brought to his
Office in large numbers is to impress on
them the fact that they owed their pro-
motion to their merit alone and that even
he had nothing to do with 1t. In addf-
ton to the clerks Assistant Secretary Mel
Vile W. Miller of the Interior Department,
Chief Clerk Bayly, Assistant Chief Clerk
Brooks and Mr.. De Hart, Mr.. Millers sec
rotary. were present.
After the clerks had been introduced to
all the officials. individually, Mr.. Ware
walked to his desk in the center of the
room and made a short speech. He said
that he had received the reports and had
passed for promotion the line of ap-
pointees, and that he had them on his
desk ready to be signed and be sent to
Mr.. Brooks. when a very excellent clerk

fILTR ALTON PLAN 7
COL. MILLER'S TALK ON PROGRESS
OF WORK.
Saws Contractors Are Making Good
Progress in Excavation and
Will Finish in Time.

Work on the filtration plant under the
direction of Col Miller. in charge. is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. and Col. Miller eX-
poets that the entire plant will be in opera
ton by the time it was promised to Con-
gress When the last appropriation was
asked for this work it was said that 1t
could be completed by December I, 1904.
The present condition of the excavating
work is such to make it reasonably sure
that this prediction will be verified. Only
some unavoidabl difficulty that at this time
does not seem likely to arise is apt to inter-
fere with the fulfllment of this prediction.
Col. Miller has had considerable difficulty
in relation to the carrying out of the con-
tract for excavating the $4,000 cubic yards
of material necessary to grade the filtration
beds. The failure of the Richmond firm to
which the contract for the work was let
caused delay, but now the receivers of the
firm are making considerable progress. and
1t is expected within short time they will
still further increase the capacity of their
plant Yesterday the receivers excavated
4.449 cubic yards of material The highest
that has been eXcavated in single day has
been 5000 cubic yards.
Requirements Of Contract.
The contract under which the work is be-
ing done provides that the contractors shall
have on the ground plant capable of ex-
CANdtiHB O,VV ydTuS d udy ana Inat tney
shall excavate a minimum of 1900 day on
an average.
OF the $4,000 yards of material to be ex-
cavated 2J0O00 have already been taken
out. That work was practically done with
in the past sixty days as during the sum-
mer the failure of the Richmond firm and
the proceedings connected with 1t prevented
any considerable progress. During Septem-
Der II OOO yards of material We're excavated
The receivers doing the work expect with
in few days to have on the ground an adj
dtional grader which. it is believed will in
| crease the excavating capacity of the plant
about 1000 cubic yards day. II that Is
done the capacity of the plan will in fact be
greater than the amount provided for in the
contract.
To Prepare Filter Beds.
AS the work of excavating progresses the
preparation of the filter beds will be begun
50 that the work on the beds and the ex-
| cavatfon will go at the same time.
If at any time Colonel Miller believes the
| receivers for the contractors are not max
| ing sufficient progress he will. under the
authority given him by the terms of the
contract. take il out of the hands of the re-
ceivers and proceed with 1t himself.

GREATLY GRATIFIED

Son of the Distinguished General Elk
presses Appreciation of Hospitality
and the Memorial.

The members of the family of General
Sherman who were in this city to attend
the unveiling of the statue of their dis
tInguished father. are greatly affected by
the reception they have received from the
people of Washington. both individually and
collectively. Washington was for many
years their home. and some OF them reCe1v-
ed their education here. There are few of
the older residents of the city who do not
know all of them or some OF them, and.
while they are now living in different parts
of the country. they have always retained
pleasant memories of their home in the
capital city. When they arrived here last
week to attend the unveiling, two sons and
three grandsons, they were hospitality re-
ceived by all who knew them. invitations
To- all sorts of social functions flowed in
upon them and people pressed them to visit
at their homes. 1t has been absolutely i'm
possible for the members of The family to
even acknowledge the receipt of so many
invitations. and they desire to have this
fact known.

Say Mine Is Hoodooed.

Because of continued disasters re.
sulting in loss of life 100 men have
quit work on Douglas island, Alaska.
All gave up their positions last week.
Forty have returned to Seattle on the
steamer Dolphin, which brings the
news Of the Wholesale desertion of the
niue employee9
The men do not make any charge OF
Encouragement or an unsafe condi-
ton Of the mine. They rather init
mate that the most famous quartz
property in Alaska is "hoodooed." In
support of this contention they cite
that seven miners have met violent
deaths within a week at the Tread
well Three Of these were killed on
Saturday by falling derrick. Explo-
sions and other things caused the
death of the others.

According to latest advices from

other reserves. which will bring the
total of the Turkish soldiers in Mace
donia up to $50 battalions, or almost
double the force utilized in the Turko-
Greek war. The enrolment of such
large bodies Of troops indicates the
seriousness with which Turkey views
the situation and her determination to
use all the means at her disposal to
repress the rebellion. Ibrahim Pasha,
the new commander of the troops, is
young and capable officer. Seven
battalions have been dispatched to
