TURNS FIRST SOD
Mayor Mcclellan Starts the
Great Water System.
Which Is to- Cost New York City
1852, 600, 900.
A DAM 22O FEET HIGH
The Aqueduct Will Be 100
Miles i'm Length.
VIII Have Daily Capacity of
SOO,OOO,OOO Gallons.

New York, June 20.-With a silver
trowel today Mayor Mcclellan turned
a sod of earth among the hills two
miles back of Peekskill on the Hudson
river, and by this act he began the
great undertaking which will cost
1852, 100000 and will eventually fur
nish Greater New York with 500 mil
lion gallons of water daily besides the
amount available from the Croton and
other present sources of supply.
From the small and simple begin
ming by the mayor will in time be con-
structed the Catskill aqueduct, one
hundred and fifty miles long, which
will connect the Ashokan reservoir in
the Esopus valley with every borough
of this city, including even Staten
Island. The preliminary work of sur
veying for the gigantic excavation has
reached such a stage that the con-
struction of the reservoir itself and a
second or storage reservoir can be
pushed with speed. These prelimi-
naries have taken up about two years.
A large party of city officials. in
for PeekskilI by steamer. Carriages
conveyed them to the site of the reser-
voir and there addresses were made
by the mayor and others
The aqueduct will have a channel
height of II feet. 1t will wind among
hills and across gorges in the heart of
the region immortalized by Washing
ton Irving and will pass under several
creeks. At Storm King mountain,
above West Point. it will descend more
than a thousand feet to cross $50 feet
underneath the bed of the Hudson.
The line it will follow upon reaching
the Bronx at Yonkers will be under
the upper East river. under Brooklyn
and finally under the Narrows at
Staten Island. The Ashokan reservoir
will consist of the irnpounded waters
of the EsopHs Schoharie and Catskil
creeks and the Rondout river and
some smaller streams Primarily the
reservoir will be constructed by a dam
22O feet high over ESopus creek which
will form a sheet of water twelve
miles long and two miles wide asong
the creek itself.
The maximum impound1ng capacity
of this huge receptacle will be 120 bill
lion gallons. The engineering prob
lens involved in building the aqueduct
under the Hudson will be the most
difficult the engineers will have to face.
Estimates vary as to when the system
will be completed The year 1880 is
generally fixed upon as the date, but it
is probable some part of the supply
authorities view this question largely
in population, and they estimate that
by 1880 this city will number 100000
souls, using daily one billion gallons
of water, part of which will be sup.
piled by the Croton system.

OUR IDEALS ARE HIGH.
And We Have Everything That Can Be
Measured i'm Figures, Says Bryce.

ST. Louis, Mo-, June 20.-The annual
commencement exercises of Washing
ton university, were held this morning,
the baccalaureate address being deliver
ed by Right Hon. James Bryce, British
ambassador to the United States Not
only was the day memorial in college
life, but it marked the fiftieth ami
versary of the Inauguration of the work
of the university. Upon that occasion
Edward Everett of Boston, delivered
the inaugural address.
Among the guests present today was
Miss Phoebe w. Cousins, of Washington
w.-o was the first woman graduate
from Washington university, receiving
the degree of bachelor of law.
The exercises were held in a large
tent on the campus. After prayer by
Bishop Tutle, Chancellor w. S. Chap
lin, made a brief address to the thirty
four graduates and introduced Ambas-
sador Bryce, who spoke in part of fol-
lows:
ideals are as high in America as
anywhere else in the world. You prize
the things of the mind and the soul
being the things which make the truest
greatness of nation. You can the
more safely do so because your mater
ial prosperity is assured by the marvel
GUS resources at your command. All
that can be measured in figures, be
they figures of dollars or tons, or BUSH
els, or DaIeS, you nave already Happy
is your lot compared with that of the
states of Europe for you have no eXter-
nal enemy to fear; you need no vast
fleets OF armies to protect you. In your
industries and trade there will of course
be ups and downs but your soils and
your minerals are more than sufficient
to provide an ever expanding employ
ment, with an ever increasing wealth.
The unique mission which providence
seems to have entrusted to you is to
show the world how immense natural
resources may be used. not in boast
ton on which to build up the highest
form of natural life; to cultivate the
delights which intellect and tastes open
to US; to set the noblest example of a
people not only prosperous and free, but
enlightened, happy and contented.'

KNOWLES LAID THE WALLS
Vice President of Bank of Topeka Did
Work Well as Stonemason.

Mr.. Albert w. Knowles, the present
vice president of The Bank of Topeka
ing. In the years 1870 and 1871 Mr.
Knowles was stone and brick mason
of the building.
When the walls of the adjoining build
ing were being torn down for the pur-
pose of charging the present bank quar-
ters it was discovered that the walls of
the Bank building were solid that it
was almost impossible to get the heavy
timbers out of the masonry without tear
ing them to pieces. The work upon which
Mr.. Knowles was employed speaks for
Itself. It has stood the strain all these
years and is still solid as ever. Per-
haps the same spirit that led him to do
such coed work in his early years will
explain somewhat the reason for his ris-
eat.
