Army Engineers Demur to Chicago
Plan.

The army engineers have advised Score
tary Taft that he has no authority to
grant the application Of the sanitary board
Of Chicago for permission to reverse the
flow of the Calumet river in that city and
create a current through that waterway
from Lake Michigan into the drainage
canal and SO into the Mississippi river.
This finding lie based upon the conclusion
that the project would certainly result in
the lowering of the level of the water In
Lake Michigan and injuriously affect navi-
cation In the various ports and harbors
which the government has improved at
great expense. The Secretary has this
finding under advisement and expects to
announce his decision soon.

gave her husband sealed letter
which he was to read when he got to
the office. He did so, and the letter
ran as follows;

that may give You pain, but there IS
no help for It. You shall know every
thing whatever he the consequences.
For the last week nave felt that it
must come TO this, but 1 have waited
until last extremity, and can remain
silent no longer Do not overwhelm
me with bitter reproach, for you
viii have to put up with your share
of the trouble as well as myself"
Cold Precipitation stood in thick drops
on the brow Of the husband, who was
prepared for the worst.
Trembling he read on: "Our coal
is all gone. Please order a ton to be
sent this afternoon. / thought yOu
might forget it for the tenth time, and
therefore wrote you this letter"
But he didn't forget that time.
