Commodore Sutton and his feet OF

paired augmented by the Steamer SIS

terday, but the ice stole q march on the
commodore Friday night and added
about one-half an inch to it's thickness.
1t was thought that by this morning the
channel would be opened by the warm

The fact that the harbormaster finds It

to show the Importance of opening the
channel and getting as much ice out of
the river as possible. a few more days

down stream of its own accord. and
right here would lie the great danger of
gorges. With thousands of tons of ice
above the new highway bridge 1t would
be simple matter for huge gorge to
form, and a disastrous food might re-

Hyattsville awoke this morning with
great deal of pessimism for such a
cheerful village as the Maryland set
tlement usually is.
Patrons of dramatic art in Hyattsville
last night received a cruel blow to their
faith in the theatrical profession from
which they will not soon recover. They
have decided that the Theater trust.
whatever else it may control, does not
have a monopoly of all the bad" shows

sad was the end of the bright
young life of Hans Kuhl which
came at the family home last Fri
day. some time he had been
indisposed but being of an am
bilious nature, he kept moving
even when exhausted nature
called for rest. Even after he
was confined to his bed he fret
ted at his inability to perform
his customary labor. Rapidly
sinking he soon became violent
and it required the power of
strong men to keep him in bed
or prevent violence. Frothing,
growing, swapping like a dog
the terrible truth dawned on
the grief crazed relatives. But
it was too late for any human
skill to give relief. Lashed to
his bed as a wild beast poor
Hans thrashed and groansd
and vainly struggled until mer-
ciful death came to relieve the
awful horrihl. dream. Hans
Kuhl was an industrious, ener-
getic young man, highly res
