Bugeye Becomes Pleasure Craft.

The little bugeye ]. Shilling, hailing from
Alexandria, has been purchased by Capt.
Sonny Reagan of this city from Mr.. George
Neitzy, and will be converted into power
boat for service on the river. The little
craft has been carrying small cargoes from
this city to nearby points. She is a vessel
of only five tons register, being 43 feet
long, 10 feet wide and "a feet deep. Her
small cargo capacity is due to the fact that
she has a large and roomy cabin which
will be fitted up for the carrying of six or
eight passengers on long trips. The boat
was built at Crisfield Md, in 1873.
Capt. Reagan, the new owner of the
Shilling. had her brought in from her
anchorage in the harbor and be berthed in
a dock adjoining his shipyard. During the
night Of Wednesday the boat was caught
under the edge Of a wharf, and as the
tide arose 1t caused the boat to careen until
her deck was under water and it flowed in
an open hatchway Yesterday morning,
when the workmen returned to the schoon-
er. the vessel was found full of water and
with her decks awash. She will be
pumped out and placed on the marine
railway for alteration into a power boat.

Rechabite Tent Entertains.

Union Tent of the Rechabite organization
entertained large number of visitors at
Its meeting hall, 623 Louisiana avenue
Wednesday night. The initiatory degree
was conferred. after which the tent went
into the discussion of the temperance cru
sade, and suggestions were made by Chief
Ruler Ed. Hannah, James Loveless. Mat
Malloy, Dan Kelly and others as to the
best means to bring about the reformation
or those who are addicted to the drink
habit.
James Loveless who for over thirty years
has been member of the tent, said in his
opinion, the reformation of a drinking per-
son depends solely upon that person. There
can be no compromise, he said, with this
habit, and moderate drinking leads to ex-
cesses. Total abstinence, he concluded, Is
the only remedy.
Refreshments were served
