No time to think

When pipes begin to
leak and the bathroom
floor is flooded, look out
for a fall in the ceiling
below. All small leaks
become Niagaras if neg
lected, and it costs lots
of money to repair a
ceiling. The surest way
to avoid a Plumbers
bill is either to put in
the best plumbing at the
start, or to watch out
for possible leaks and
rusty joints. WE are
expert Plumbers, use
only the best materials,
the best workmanship,
and guarantee all work
done. THINK AHEAD!
If you have plumbing
that you want done in
the cheapest manner do
not come to us. We
don't do that kind of
work; but if you have
Plumbing that you want
done in a first-class man
ner, Plumbing that's
fully Guaranteed, better
see us. That's the kind
of work we want and
our price will be as cheap
as that kind of work can
be done.

Career Of Steamer Severn.

The side-wheel steamer Severn, once
known to the people Of this city as the
steamer George j. Seufferle. is to return to
the excursion business out Of Baltimore
after q wandering existence of three or
four years. The Severn was built at Baiti-
moro about twenty years ago for Alfred
Cooper, and was named after her owner.
She was used as an experimental boat to
test a new type Of engine that was to be q
big Improvement over the machinery then
In use, but the engine did not take with the
steamboat owners. and the little steamer
was put on the market. She was purchased
by Booze Bros. Baltimore shipyard men,
who converted her into q side-wheel boat.
She was next purchased by Mr.. George J.
Seufferle OF this city and was brought
here. For a number Of years she ran ex-
cursions from this city to BuenA Vista. ~
Geisboro Point was then called. After sew
eral years of that service the excursion
park at Buena Vista was closed and the
little steamer was sold to parties in Baiti-
her nane to Severn and placed her on q
route between Annapolis and the West river
in connection with the Baltimore and An
napoiis shortline railroad. A few years
ago she again changed hands and was taxi
en- to Crisfeld. Nd. where she was placed
upon a freight route between that port and
the Great Wfcomico river Now she has
been purchased by the Rock and Stoney
Creek Steamboat Company OF Baltimore
and Is to be used In excursion traffic to
those creeks The steamer IL now at Baiti-

DISTRICT BILL PASSED
NO AMENDMENTS TO MEASURE
PERMITTED.

The District Of Columbia appropriation
bill was passed by the House OF Repre-
sentatives yesterday afternoon at o'clock
after several attempts to amend the meas
ure had been defeated. An unsuccessful at
tempt was made to restore the $4,000
Fairgrounds provision. Representative Oh
colt Of New York also unsuccessfullv at
tempted to secure the adoption Of q pro-
vision that no appropriations for the
schools should be available II the board
OF education should hold meetings be-
mind closed doors This amendment was
ruled out of order by Representative
Mann OF Illinois. who was in the chair
The House agreed to a committee amend
ment offered by Chairman GiTlett in
charge Of the bill. providing that no street
railway company shall use the bridge au-
thorized to be built over the Baltimore
and Ohio railway tracks until II
shall pay one-sixth Of. the cost Of
the structure. An amendment Of
fered by Mr.. Olcott for free public
lectures in the schools and appropriating
$1,000 for the purpose was knocked out on
point OF order. The paragraph making
service In the high school cadets COM
pulsory, except UPON medical certificate
or parental objection. was retained in the
measure

Mr.. Chairman" he said. my reason for
Offering that amendment II that after q re-
port from the District OF Columbia COM
mittee OF last year, which embodied prac-
dcaiiy q reorganization Of the entire
school system OF the District, blu was
passed which contained q proviso for pub
lie hearings In all sessions Of the board Of
education and the several committees Of
the board. It has been generally reported
that in several instances hearings have
been held which were not public. but. on
the contrary which were purposely held
behind closed doors. 80 that the public
could NOT know exactly what was going
on in the committees and. in some In
stances, the board itself. It seemed to me
that at least the spirit OF the law which
we passed at the last session has been
violated by the board OF education. 1t.
therefore, seemed to me proper time to
ofrer an amendment to ask the committee
In appropriating for the board OF educa-
tion to indicate to that body that the ac-
ton OF this House at its frst session was
worthy Of some consideration by the
board of eiucation.S

Esperanto Calming In Favor.

to repeat the fiasco Of Volapuk. Says
the consul:
All over the world trade associations

organizations are seeking universal
language. Whenever an international
congress Is held the need for such a Lam
guage Ia recognized and discussed. An
international committee Is being formed
which is to select universal auxiliary
language subject to the following 8ener-
ally accepted iimitations:\ IT must be able
to serve the needs Of daAly life. the de-
mands Of trade and commerce and the
purposes OF science. 1t must be easy for
people OF average education to learn 1t

languages. II the committee adopt a
language 1t Is almost certain to be Es-
per3nto.
Esperanto Is language with few
rules and no exceptions. no irregular
verbs; with pronunciation accent
and spelling that can be learned In ono
lesson and with small vocabulary,
many Of whose words learners already
know or can guess. Besides, 1t Is clear,
flexible and rather sonorous. Mr..
Spahr adds:
There are Esperanto groups in the
twentyfour leading cities Of Germany.
and new ones are forming. There are In
the world about 425 groups. besides sixty
trade or scientific organizations. whose
members either are all Esperantists or
use Esperanto when writing to a member

Early in the night the soldiers,
who were drinking, became noisy
and were repeatedly cautioned by
the guards. Later, when their num-
Der increased to about 800, they
threw aside all restraint and pro-
ceeded to the "War PATH" where
they invaded places of amusement,
refusing to pay admission fees or to
leave when ordered out of the Tenn
pie of Mirth, beauty show and
streets of Cairo, which were the
principal sufferers"
This tells the whole story. The

The board of county canvassers
for kershaw county were in session
all day Tuesday. They decided,
after hearing the testimony in the
dispensary election protests, that
the returns of the managers were
correct. This leaves the victory
with forces opposed to the dispen-
sary. The matter is still to go be-
fore the State board of canvasscrs.
