Automatic Pump of Great Power.

{. A. ArnSDerger, an engineer of

that increases the outflow of water
by four times that of the ordinary

Some Of the great advantages
claimed for this pump are that it can
be operated at any speed; that it can

depth of the well or the volume of
water being raised. There is no lost
motion. 1t throws just as much water
when the lever is going up as it does
when it is going down. 1t is able to
raise water at great height without
much additional power, for the reason
that it both pushes and pulls at the

PROPOSALS RECEIVED
FOR DISTRICT BUILDING

The opening Of bids for the laying Of
the foundation of the new Municipal
Building. at o'clock this afternoon, at
the new District Building site, resulted
I'm the discovery that A. b. Stannard, OF
New York, had bid $1Ss.ss0.50. The lowest
bid, however, was made by Norcross
Bros. Company, of Worcester, Mass,
who bid $780,
Their bid will be thrown cut on ac-
count OF their failure TO inclOse with 1t
the necessary retaining check.
STANDARDS bid will, therefore, in all
probability. be accepted. Other bids
were as follows:
J. P. Carlin & Co, Brooklyn, N. Y,
S29o, 900.
Crawford Paving Company, of
Washington, $226, ss5.
Doyle 81 Doak, of Philadelphia,
John GIL & Son. Cleveland, Ohio,
$147, 092.50.
Horton & Heminway, of Provi-
dence. r. l., S271, 723.
II is thought that the contract will be
formally awarded TO the Stannard Com
pany within a week.
The remainder OF June will be allowed
to the contractor 10 get his material and
machinery into place.
1t is probable. therefore, that work
will be begun during the first week OF
july.

Justice Clabaugh sitting in the Court

in an opinion handed down today. sus-
tanned the decision of the lower courts

Miss Taylor. soon after her dismissal,
filed a suit against the Secretary of
War for reinstatement on the ground
that she was in the classified service
and could not. under the civil ser

time by appearing in court as her own
attorney and arguing her case.
