BENEFIT OF WoRKMEN.
Ferry Steamer Makes Giesboro Point q
Landing Place,

There are now over 200 men working in
the various departments of the FIRTH
Sterling steel plant at Geisboro, D. c.,
many Of whom reside in this city, and in
order to get to and from work have long
distances to walk each day from the car
line at Congress Heights. For their con-
venience the ferry steamer Lackawanna
began landing at the steel plant wharf yes
terday, and is to stop there on all trips,
going and returning, between this city and
Alexandria. In order to put the boat in
condition for this service, carpenters were
at work yesterday cutting gangways in the
rails of the steamer at each end SO that
the boat can be landed, no matter In what
direction the tide may be running.
The reduction in the. rate of fare to five
cents each way has increased the travel
between this city and Alexandria by ferry
to a considerable extent. The number of
passengers carried on the ferry boat yes
terday, it is stated, was much larger than
it had been in several months.

"a little party Of us the other night

a member of one of the prominent
New York clubs. IF he had been able

one or two chapters at a time, his
story might not have been so hard to

he had to tell II all and all about Il.

were outwardly placid and inwardly
profane.

OF the main road into so many devil
GUS paths and byways that something
always happened to break off the
story before the denouement was
reached. While the yarn was
progressing the company would slip
out one by one and leave the stranger
to his fate.
"The Widow Bedott Is a flrst-class

BIZ CHANCE
FOR SCIENCE
Uncle Sam to Help In
ravel Some Strange
Phenomena.

The United States Marine Hospital
Service is to send man here to aid
the Board Of Health who will have a
great chance to unravel some strange
phenomena.
Through the efforts Of President
Pinkham the Marine Hospital Service
of the United States is to send an ex-
pert here TO cooperate with the Board
OF Health in the study of the scientific
aspects Of the epidemic sickness which
lately prevailed at Aiea.
In the handling Of the epidemic,
which ceased some weeks ago, some
very peculiar scientific phenomena were
discovered which at first blush were
very alarming and of the most far
reaching consequences. While the nat
uraI differences from what seemed in
dubitabIe scientific phenomena were
not realized, a series of scientific phe-
nomena which It is felt ought TO be
investigated were observed
It is to investigate these and TO deter
mine what action ought to be taken in
the future under similar circumstances
SO as to share the responsibility OF
action that aid has been asked.
The request for aid was sent through
DR.. Golfer TO Surgeon General Wynan.
It seems probable that a thorough
scientific investigation OF the strange
phenomena observed may result in very
important discoveries in the etiology
and pathology of bubonic plague.

THE CUPS THAT
WERE WON TWICE
The Department Bicycle and
the Boy Who
Rode 1t.

A little by-play with very pleasant
ending was brought out by the force
of the executive department at the
Capitol yesterday.
On Monday the messenger of the de-
partment, Patrick O'SuIlivan, a lad of
about fifteen. took the department BIZ
cycle out to Kapiolani Park and won
two bicycle races. receiving silver cups
as trophies. These he was exhibiting
with boyish satisfaction to his supe-
riors in the executive department.
whereat they were pleased, but pre-
tended otherwise, and entered into a
conspiracy against the enthusiasm OF
the youth.
First, Chief Clerk Conkling pointed
out that he had taken the department
bicycle without permission, and that
therefore the trophies really belonged
to the department, and, besides, a fine
for taking the bicycle was possible. In
accordance with this O'Sullivan was
directed to turn over the trophy cups
to the Acting Governor. Then a letter
Territorial Archives, and O'Sullivan, as
messenger of the department. was sent
with it and the cups to the Archives
building and delivered them 10 Ar
chivist Lydecker. He came back with
a face resentful Of what he considered
very unjust treatment.
But he did not know that from the
Archives building the cups went right
down town 10 be suitable engraved. He
only knew that, for some reason, he was
kept on duty at the Capitol an hour
and a half after the usual time. and
the smart Of the injustice under which
he was suffering was getting keener ali
the time
Finally he was called before the Act
ing Governor and presented with the
two cups he had won, each nicely en-
grayed with his name and the eondi-
tons and events in which he had won
them.
II was like winning them again. and /
with the surprise came back all the i
he had felt when he dis I
played them at first, with the added 4
pleasure Of knowing that his superiors 4

To SURVEY OUR
WATER RESOURCES
Governor Carter Achieves a
Long Cherished
Plan.

/ Acting Governor Atkinson yesterday
received the following cablegram from
fGovernor Carter:
| Atkinson, Honolulu.
Geological expert for water survey
will come now if we pay expenses while
| there. Can thus save whole year. j
| have accepted responsibility for this.
CARTER
A complete survey of the water re-
| sources Of the islands, both for irri-
cation and for the development OF
power. has been one Of the things on
which Governor Carter has been bent
for long time. He first suggested it
last August at the Inauguration OF the
Wainiha electric system on Kauai. and
he has devoted a good deal Of effort
to bring it about since.
Two purposes are expected to be
served by such a survey. One is to
determine the water resources them
selves, the amount Of water, its source
and availability, and the amount of
available power that can be developed.
The other purpose is the collection OF
data upon which legislation can be
inteiligentIy based for the utilization
and development Of this water and
water power for the best Development
Of the Territory, either through public
service corporations or by the direct
public ownership Of these public utili-
ties by the Territory or political subdi-
visions OF ii.
There is a regular Congressional APP
preparation for such surveys in the
United States. But when Governor Car
ter first made application to the Geo
logical Bureau Of the Interior Depart
ment it was replied that Hawaii being
one of the insular possessions Of the |
United States, did not come within the |
terms of the appropriation. When II /
was pointed out that Hawaii was an in |
tegral part Of the Union, the depart |
ment felt that the appropriation hav-
ing been cut down from $780, 600 TO $780, /
90, man could not be spared this year.
Il seems that Governor Carter has
overcome this difficulty by taking the |
for the expense Of the |
expert while he is here That is what
re means, doubtless, by saying that /
whole year can thus be saved.
