BOISE MANS Invention
Constructs Water Motor That is a
Marvel
GIVEN A TEST IN The BOISE RIVER
RAISES 1000 GALLONS OF WATER
A MINUTE TO HEIGHT OF
40 FEET.

BOISE, Sept. 15.-The most import
ant invention for the entire arid re-
gion, and probably the most important
ever made in the west, it is believed.
is that of water litter that operates
with slight current and will raise
water from a river to the height of
800 or 400 feet.
The invention is the result of years
of study by S. r. Morden of Boise.
The principle of his litter is a plain
one in hydrostatics, but it has never
been applied before to the raising of
water from a river by the action of the
current. The principle Of the hydrau-
lie ram, together with that of the ar
chmedian screw combined, is the basis
of the machine, if it may be called
machine as it contains no valves or
pistons.
A machine was tested in the Boise
amounting to 1000 gallons per minute,
to a height of 40 feet. The river was
too shallow and the sand washed in,
making much trouble, as a depth re-
quired for that size is eight feet. 1t
was taken out today and will be
placed in the Snake river near Nampa
to test its workings where the current
is light. Those who have seen the
in construction and works so perfectly
that it will not only make the inventor
rich, but will be worth millions to
sections of country along water cours-
es with deep banks.

Befo, de Wah.

Miss Belle Emerson, who gives the
Ethiopian Southern production tonight
at the Colonial Thsatre, says:
II devoted over three years to the
preparation of this work, sparing no
painstaking or expense in my efforts
to give the public something, which,
for a distinct novelty, surpasses your
widest dreams or fancies. A charac-
teristic feature of~the Southern negro
is his superstition, and as il is COM
mon belief that TO have ones picture
taken means early death, little wonder
they shun procedure of that nature
and look upon it with forbodings not
calculated TO inspire peace of mind.
Again they resort to all sorts of STRAIT
egy in order to keep the common white
trash from securing their pictures. in
short, they will not be held up TO
ridicule in such n manner.
'You can imagine the scheming
necessary, TO say nothing of the ex-
pense incurred, in my efforts to give
you what no other persons ever at
tempted, and that is negro pictures
taken from life. Having visited all
of the prominent dealers in both New
York and Philadelphia, can assure
you without fear.of contradiction, that
my typical Southern negro views se-
cured during two years sojourn in
Dixie Land, are. the only ones taken
from real life.

WANTS FLOATING DRY DOCK.
Secretary Bonaparte Endorses The
Scheme In His Report.

Secretary Bonaparte in his annual
report warmly indorses the plan for
floating drydock at Solomon's Island
or some other place on the Atlantic
Coast. He reviews the trip of the
Dewey to the Philippines, praises
Commander Hosley and says:
''Since its arrival at Olongapo the
Dewey has been already used to dock
several naval auxiliaries and army
transports. The more thorough
equipment of the station at Olongapo
will. of course, render il much more
servieeable. / strongly recommend
that Congress authorize at this session
the construction of at least one more
floating steel drydock. Provision for
one is included in the estimates sub
mitted by the Bureau of Yards and
Docks, and think IL might perhaps
be well to add provision for another,
to be constructed and retained on the
Pacific Coast.
'sThat there should be one ON the
Atlantic Coast am firmly convinced,
and hope the Congress may find no
difficulty in giving the necessary
authority and making the necessary
appropriations for its construction.
The dock or docks in question should
be slightly larger than the Dewey,
so as to readily serve the purposes of
vessels of 90, 900 tons. 1t is believ-
ed, however, that this result can be
attained within the limits of the esti-
mates submitted by the Bureau of
Yards and Docks, which is the same
as that submitted last year. No other
new drydock is provided for in the
estimates, since the size and character
of our future drydocks must depend
in large measure, on the size and char
acter OF our largest ships of war, ques-
tions which will demand considera-
tion at the present session.

NEXT SEASONS GAME.
Prospects For a Splendid Football
Struggle Given.
WHAT THE NAVY LOSES BY
GRADUATION.
Midshipmen Determined In Their
Effort To Render Excellent
Team Work.

While those who are interested in
athletics in general, but have no par
ticular interest in either the Naval or
Military academies, are glad that the
Navy won this years contest and
thus made the series more even, il is
also a source of satisfaction that next
seasons game is sure to be a splendid
contest, as each team loses only few
regular players and the rivalry cannot
help from being most spirited.
The Army is cut to the quick at their
unexpected defeat while the Navy,
realizing that its rivals can be whip
ped, will be all the more determ ined
10 make the series even by winning
next years S game. The Navy Will
lose three of the four men who COM
posed its splendid line, but will have
the star, Douglass, as n foundation.
Only one lineman, with the possibility
of another, will be lost and there are
splendid substitutes for all positions
without counting the new material in
the next fourth class.
Those who will be lost to the Navy
by graduation, are Captain Spencer
right halfback: Fullback Ingram,
Quarterback Norton, Left End Ber-
nard, and possibly Right Tackle Pier
sol, who will be in the Academy, but
may be barred by eligibility rules.
Those of the linemen who remain are
-Slingluff, center; Wright and Meyer,
guards; Northcroft, left tackle;
Dague, right end.
For the baekheld there are many
excellent substitutes. Harris and
Ewing developed into splendid halves
towards the close of the season, and
Lange has the making of one of the
best quarterbacks the Navy has ever
had. Richardson, who halls from the
University of Tennessee, the institu-
tion which produced Douglass, viii
undoubtedly play in the backfield
next season. He played at fullback
most of the season and also at end to-
wards the last. He is slashing line
breaker.
Other end candidates are De Mott,
Boynton and Mccormick. For tackle
there are leighton and Magruder and
Shafroth, Chambers, Strelinger and
Stuart are big men who could fill in
any of the three center positions.
West Point loses -still fewer of its
players. OF the regualrs, Captain
Hill, left halfback; Chrystie, right
guard and Sultan, center, are all who
graduate, and Moose and Arnold of the
substitutes. But the Army will have
the services of the great tackle, Pull
len, who was injured il%he Princeton
game and did not play against the
Navy.
In addition, il is likely that Gard
ner, the Carlisle Indian end, and other
good material, will be available when
the new class enters. Altogether, the
prospects of splendid struggle next
season are good.

A CLEVER Sharper.
James Dale, In Uniform Of Officer,
Is a Sehemer.
AS STATED IN THE "CAPITAL"
LAST EVENING.
Is Described As Being Short And
Stout, Smooth Face And
Pleasing WAYS.

AS stated in Yesterdays Capital
smart sharper, probably the same
who has been operating lately in Bal
timore and Washington, succeeded i'm
acting the part OF United States
naval officer in Annapolis, the very
home of that parsonage, on Saturday
last and thereby victimized n number
of Annapolis business men. The affair
has just become known, as the schem
operated by passing bogus checks,
which are now being returned as
worthless.
The operator gave his name as James
Dale and wore the uniform and in
sigma of an ensign in the Navy. lie
is described as being short and stout
and about 30 years of age. He had
smooth face, a pleasing manner and
his uniform fitted him perfectly.
There was nothing about him TO sug-
gest that he was not what he repre-
sented himself TO be.
He chose Saturday, the day of the
Army-Navy football game, in Phila-
delphia, as the time for his operation
and left the city at about noon, hav
ing, in few hours, got into at least
half dozen Annapolis merchants,
the sum aggregating a hundred dollars
at least. He explained 10 some of
them that he was one of the few officers
who had been kept on duty at the
Naval Academy while the others were
in Philadelphia in attendance upon
the football game.
All the checks which he passed pur-
ported TO be drawn To his order by
the Anheuser-Buseh Brewing Com
pany, of st. Louis, Mo. They were
nearly all passed, il is believed, upon
saloonkeepers. He explained that he
did not have the checks cashed at n
bank because he did not care TO have
il known that he had dealings with the
brewing company. He had charge of
the officers club and mess, he said,
and the checks were n little commits
sion or graft that he got for buying
the beer from the company.
Dale had little trouble I'm passing
his checks and as yet there mas been
no reports of anyone refusing him.
Checks for $l5 each were passed on
Charles Bernstein ahnd John B. Mar
tin and another, believed to be still
larger amount, was passed on Albert
q. Adams, colored. All the parties
| are saloonkeepers. 1t has been learn
ed that at least half dozen persons
in all have had checks which they
cashsd returned to them through the
local bank. Most of them were drawn
on the Citizens National Bank Of Bal
| timore.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
The O'Reardon Home At Arnold's
Station Destroyed.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE UNKNOWN
TO THE OWNER.
All Household Furniture Consumed
Loss Partly Covered By
Insurance.

4 most disastrous FIRE occurred yes
terday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock at
Arnold's station, in the Third district
of this county, on the Short Line
railroad, about FIVE miles from An
napolis. The residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Daniel O'Reardon was totally
DESTROYED by fire together with all the
furnishings and household effects.
Mr.. O'Reardon estimates his loss at
between IS, 600 and Sl0.000 whicn is
only covered by 81. 500 insurance. The
house was one of the handsomest cot
tages in the county and was elegantly
furnished. 1t was built about four
wears ago, and when in process OF
building a fire broke out mysteriously
and il was almost burned to the
ground.
The origin OF yesterday afternoon $
fire cannot pe aseertained. There was
no fire in the kitchen. or library, and
as the house is new, the flues are not
thought TO have been defective. Mr..
and Mrs. O'Reardon were in Washing
ton at the time the and their daughter,
Miss Alice, was in Annapolis taking
her music lesson, and their son, Ger
aid, was returning from school on the
train when the boy saw smoke issuing
from his home. When he reached there
he upper floors were nearly consumed.
The colored man in charge was
standing aghast, not knowing where TO
turn or what to do. The handsome
home was mass of ashes in less than
twenty minutes, the strong northwest
wind blowing at the time aided the
devastations Of the Gre. Besides the
home, which was well built, with all
modern improvements, and furnished
in hardwood, the furnishings con-
tanned n number of handsome oil
paintings of rare value, jewelry,
books and the accumulation of the
family for the past twenty eight
years of their married life. All cloth
ing was destroyed and the family to-
day only possess what they wore at
the time of the fire.
Mr.. o'Reardon gis in town today
endeavoring TO secure a furnished
house TO locate here temporarily un-
til the other arrangements can be
made.
