DISTRICT WASTING
TOO MUCH WATER
Look Out for Fanine, Super
intendent Mcfarland Says.
SURE TO COME, NEXT WINTER
installation of Meters Only Way to
Check Extravagance-Now
Up to Congress.

Unless the Senate restores TO the Dis
trict appropriation bill the provision
stricken out by the House. that water.
meters be placed in residences TO check
waste of water. the people of the Dis
t1ct, according to Superintendent OF
the Water Department W. A. McFar-
land, will next winter face a wafer
famine n water famine he declares
was only averted this past winter and
1he previous winter by the narrowest
margin, and more through good luck
l'ian by any foresight on the part of
the people of the District, who con-
tlnHed 10 waste the water despite the
TACT that the department sent ont a
warning stating that the various pump
ing stations We're being worked to their
limits supplying 150,OOOO00 gallons daily
when 60.WOO00 gallons should have sup
piled The normal needs of this popula-
tiOn.
Serious Look Ahead.
That Superintendent Mcfarland is
greatly disappointed at the outlook for
adequate water service under any and
all conditions. and more so because
Congress apparently does not see the
feasibility of his water-metering scheme
as the best method of temporarily meet
ing what he considers a strained situa-
tiCn, he makes no pretense of denying.
He has long urged that, although in
view of the Districts constantly in
CredSing population and the tendency
TO consume more water. an additional
conduit must ultimately be provided.
his proposition to equip the city through
out, both as to dwellings and business
buildings, with water meters. should be
accepted as the only means OF coping
with the present threatened water
famine
The installation of water meters. he
Contended. would not only check the
present waste of water. but would give
the people of the District a more eco
nOmical water service, as has been
practically demonstrated by nearly 800
stalled since Congress appropriated
$500 for the purpose a year ago
Congress Alone to Blame
Il do not wish to appear an alarm
ist" said Mr.. Mcfarland today, but
1 believe that the time has passed
when any measures for increasing the
water supply of the District can be
adopted in season 10 prevent probably
serious danger of water famine I had
hoped that the department would Sc
cure the appropriation of 100000 asked
4Or TINS year with the District esti-
mates TO push the already inaugurated
work of providing the city with a COM
lietc water-metering system. but iT
view of the rejection by the House, the
proposition seems altogether hopeless.

ATLANTA, Ca, April 26.-lt is stated
that before the end OF the year the
Southern Railway viii be in possession
of about sl1. 100000 worth OF new equip
ment of all classes. This has proved
necessary because OF the increasing
traaIc OF the road. and for the reason
that the territory through which the line
runs constantly is increasing its busi-
ness.

Catch Senators Mapping.

II is seldom the Senate of the United
States gets caught mapping. but in this
case the House leaders of the joint
statehood contest confidently expect to
sell that august body gold brick The
plans for the game have been carefully
mapped out by the House leaders.
A conference committee is considering
the House bill for admission of two
States. and the Senate bill for one State.
The conference committee is seeming
Iy making little progress. Senator Bev-
eridge is put in a curious position, be
cause he Is heart and soul for the House
bill for two States. but is in honor
bound to support the Senate bill for
one State.
The plans of the House leaders are
to turn down in conference various com
promise propositions emanating from
the Senate and ultimately to agree to
the joint statehood bill as il came from
the House with the Foraker amend
ment of a year ago. II is through the
workings of this amendment that the
House leaders think they will accom-
Dlish Joint statehood.

JOINT STATEHOOD
MAY WIN OUT YET
House Leaders Hope to Catch
Senate Mapping.
WITH FORAKER AMENDMENT
By Sticking to This Boosters of the
Bill Expect to Make
Good.

Despite all the opposition in both
House and Senate to joint statehood,
there are many reasons for believing
that out of the present ENHANCEMENT
in Congress will come two new States
in the Southwest. one composed of In
dian Territory and Oklahoma. and the
other OF Arizona and New Mexico
That Arizona and New Mexico will
be admitted as one State and will enter
the Union as such is, at least, the be-
lief OF the members of the House who
are leading the Administrations fight
for joint statehood. They are confident
that by a process of indirection they
are going 10 arrive at the results for
which they have been contending.

est sum ever paid for so Slight an op-
Grafton.
There was a great cutlery when the
question came up of paying the sur
geons who attended President Garfield
in his last illnesc, and congress finally
appropriated $4,000 for the services
of the entire staff, which included DR..
Frank Hamilton of New York, and Dr.
Agnew, two of the foremost surgeons
in the country. In addition there
were DR. Bliss of Washington and Dr.
Douglas, who acted as personal at
tendant. The illness lasted three
months The fees in this case were
exceedingly small, for either DR.. Ham
ilton or DR.. Agnew might have charg-
ed the full amount with perfect pro-
priety.
General Grant was attended by DR..
Douglas, who gave up his practice and
for five months, and DR.. Douglas re-
ceived $4,000. DR.. George F. Shra-
dy spent about one half this time with
the general and for his. services and
those of the other physicians $4,000
was paid.
The charges made were very small.
Had General Grant been a rich man
DR.. Shrady could have legitimately
charged $500 a month, in view of the
fact that he had to travel to Mount
McGregor to see his patient. Such a
charge would have been a most rea-
sonable one from a surgeon of his
eminence in the profession.
Had General Grant been the prince
of Wales and had DR.. Shrady lived in
London instead of New York, he would
probably have received 100000 in
cash and a title besides.
The income of medical men depends
on their fees In New York an author
ity on the subject gives the following
estimate: Two or three physicians
make over 100000 a year, four or
five range from $4,000 to 100000, so
from $4,000 to 100000, $50 from $780,
900 to $4,000, about 300 from $4,000 to
$4,000. 1900 from $4,000 to $4,000, and
the remainder from 5000 to $1,000

PRINCE OF WALES VERY GENEROUS

When the prince of Wales was sick
at Sandrigham his physician, Sir Will
liam Gull, received for four weeks
attendance $4,000 and the title of
baronet. Pretty good pay-$12,5O0 a
week, more than s17S5 per day!

a bill from a surgeon for $1,000 for
half an hours work? Why, 1 never

mo" said the surgeon coolly, "of
course not. For the half hour'swork,
IS; for the know how, $685."
La Peyronie,. the physician who at
tended Louis XIV of France. received
a fee which much exceeds these. The
king gave him an estate comprising
five villages and POI farms, which pro-
duced a yearly income equal in pur-
chasing power to $1,000 His majesty

ment to get a physician from London,
and Doctor -Dimsdsle, a well known
practitioner of the time agreed to go.
He travelled to ST. Petersburg, where
he duly innoculated her majesty, and
suppose some others applied. What
he received from the others I know
not, but from Catherine his fee was

NEW YORK. Oct. Eff expert
ments which are now being made with
phone, succeed another long step to-
ward the prevention of railroad acct
dents will have been taken. The adj
vantages which the telegraphone af-
fords in train dispatching have at
tracted the serious attention of rail-
road officials, and it is expected that
before long the new apparatus will
be in use on several of the big rail-
road systems
1t has been found that the tele-
graphone makes permanent record
of all train dispatching orders sent by
the telegraph ticker or over the tele-
phone wire. The sound waves set up
by the ticker act upon the diaphragm
of the transmitter attached to the
telegraphone and are thence convey
ed to a thin steel wire, where they are
electrically stored. AS soon as a rec
ord of the orders has been made upon
the wire. the train dispatcher places
the receiver attached to the telegra-
phone to his ear and Immediately
hears the orders just as they were
given.
Records may be repeated as often
as desired, but as soon as there is no
further need to keep them they may
be wiped out by passing a strong
magnet over the wire, thus making it
ready for use again.
In this way the possibility of error
in train dispatching orders will be
greatly reduced. There is no need to
trust to the memory, as the orders
are there upon the wire and can be
referred to at any time. The records
can be transferred for future reference
