WATER FOR STATEN ISLAND.
MayoE's Commission Advises Buying Local
Plants for 81 ,SSS 900.

The commission appointed by the Mayor
to report upon the plants Of the Staten Island
water companies has filed a report, in<Uhich
it puts a total valuation of 81 ,5s5, 600 on the
existing plants. and recommends their pur-
chase by the city if they can be had at that
price. .
The three companies are the Staten Island
Water Supply Company, the Crystal Water
Company and the South Shore Water Com
pany. The commission values the Staten
Island Water Supply C~ompany's plant at
1851, 600, that Of the Crystal company at
500, 900 and that Of the South Shore at
$l4, 600.
A point made in the report is that the
largest source, supplying more water than
the two others put together, Is at .Mest
New Brighton, and that the water pumped
from the wells there contains an admi&ture
of sea water.
in varying amounts, but at times In such
quantity as to make it seriously objection
able. 1t is also drawn from an area con,
siderably built up at the present time, ana
on which the population IL rapidly increas-
ing. This water is therefore Objectionable,
both on account of the mineral matter
which it contains and the pollution from
the population upon the areas drained by 1t.
The effects Of this pollution have not yet
been serious, as indicated by the ana yses
of the water, but the effects are certain to
date will make the Use of the water i'm
possible. This source of supply. in our
judgment, should be used only until such
time as a better water can be secured and
it should then be Immediately abandoned"
The commission estimates that 1t will be
ten years before the island gets the benefi
of the new Catskill water supply. 1t advo-
Gates buying the plants Of the three COM
panies in order to supply water until that
time. The city has contracted for a tenn
from the Hudson Water Company Of New
Jersey, but the contract has been attacked
by New Jersey residents, and is now being
tested in the courts. TIL commission
recommends that if the contract is upheld
the New Jersey water be used in supplying
n large part of the territory now dependent
upon the wells at West New Brighton in
which sea water is found.

the city and state without making an
effort first to defend it. 1t is said
that 1t was a ruse, designed to gain
time for the arrival of General Lin
coin. Supposing this was the case,
what would the privy council, Of which
Governor Eutledge was chief, have
done rad Provost accepted Of the prop
osition? Truth and honesty would
have forced them to surrender. Three
members of the council were violently
opposed to it. Their names were Gads-
den, Ferguson and Edwards. Colonel
Moultrie and John Laurens were also
opposed to it. A threat was made that
In the event the proposition was car
ried into effect, 1t would cost the coun-
Gil their Ives.
The strangesr thing of all is the re-
lection of the proposition by General
Provost. Had he accepted the offer
made by the privy. council, he would
have ruined the state. Provost acted
with no promptness. His delay at Po-
cotaligo and his delay in exchanging
flags, after he had crossed the Ashley
river, and finally his rejecting the
terms of surrender proposed by the
authorities Of Charleston, show that
he was only a second-rate general.

THE FROG AND THE WEATHER
PRoPHET-James Wilson the secretary
of agriculture, was discussing a rath-
er antiquated kind of farming says the
Minneapolis Journal.
1T is about as profitable and logi-
CAL" he said, las the weather reading
of a Connecticut farm hand 1 used to
know.
THE farm hand claimed that he
could read the weather infallibly. On
a walk with me one afternoon a frog
croaked and he said:
I'VE will have clear weather for
twenty four hours. When a frog
croaks in the afternoon you may be
sure of twenty-four hours of sun
shine"
I'VE walked on and in twenty min
utes or so a heavy shower came up,
and We were both drenched to the
skin.
you're a fine weather prophet,
said l. as we hurried homeward
through the down pour. You ought
to be ashamed of yourself
"Oh WELL" said the farm hand,
the frog lied. Its to blame. not me.
Am l responsible for the morals of
that particular frog?"

Charleston June 1S: Jesse Cain,
alias Gibbes, who passed through
Charleston on Saturday, In charge Of
officers on his way from Kingstree to
Lake City, Fla, to pay the death PEN
atty for a murder committed eleven
years ago was betrayed into the hands
Of thu officers of the law, 1t Is said, by
his own brother, who gave the i2for-
nation in the endeavor to free himself
of some light charge on which he had
been arrested in Florida The disloy-
atty of the negro Is made all the more
despicable for the reason that Jesse Is
said to have contributed largely to his
brothers support by frequently send
ing him money and making him pres
ents in other forms. Jesse Is said to
have run a successful store at Kings
tree and four-horse farm in addition,
making purchases some times Of as
much as 5000 in Charleston. Much
sympathy Is felt for the Kingstree ne
gro who, although under the sentence
Of death, had reformed and had made
a success of life, following his escape
from the Florida Jail. 1t is thought
here that in view Of some question of
the guilt of the negro and the fact
that he had reformed and become a
useful citizen, the sentence may be
commuted.

HAD GOT SoMErHING.-"I was up in
northern Vermont about the first Of
May" said the Boston insurance
agent, "and one day 1 had a farmer
drive me across the country between
TWO towns. In our conversation he
told me that he had forty acres Of
land, but owing to it's sterility he
could hardly make a living. In a
joking way, and supposing he would
take it as a joke, l asked:
why don't you plant the whole
thing in gondolas?'
"'Yes, 1 might he unused, but I
think 1 have got a better thing
something that will pay big after two
or three years
"'Ah! What is that?'
There was a feller up here from
Cape Cod the other day and he told
me that 1t was just the place to grow
Holsters, and he's going TO send me
up half a dozen to begin with next
fall
Did he give you any statistics
about them?'
Figures. you mean? All he said
was that they took care of them
selves, kept skunks away, and sold
for fifty cents apiece as soon as they
were big enough to climb a tree.
That's good enough for me- -

CONCERNED ABOUT HER SISTER,

about an outrage or two perpetrated

One of them was making quite fuss
about 1t, claiming that things would

Reminds me-" said Raconteur
Oulahan, "of a thing that happened
in my school days. We used to have
a lecture every Friday afternoon, and
one day the lecturer was geological
sharp and chose Niagara Falls for
his topic.
HE told us all about the geolog-
ical formation of the falls, described
the different periods that could be
traced in the gorge and then went on
to say that the falls were slowly
wearing back toward Buffalo and
that within the course OF some 2OO,-
900 years they would be worn back
to Erie, Pa, and that town would be
left high and dry.
Just then one of the girls in the
class began TO sob wildly. What's
the matter asked the teacher in

several days ago, a bale Of cotton
which was washed away during June
flood of 1903, was recovered from the
bed of Lawson's Fork. The bale was

appearances was unfit for any use
The bale was rolled out on a platform
where it was cut open with long
knives. After being opened the cotton
In the middle Of the bale was in per-

pretty as newly ginned cotton. The
cotton was sold to the Spartanburg
