BURNING UP WITH DROUGHT.
Serious Conditions in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia.

P1TTSBCRG. September A long con-
tinucd drought in western PENNSYLVANIA
and West Virginia is gradually reaching
serious proportions and the lack of rain is
causing the suspension of many indus
tries. At Greensburg. Pa. several plants
of the III. G. F'rick Coke Company have
been compelled to shut down. Farmers
are hauling water for miles. Streams
which have never before been known to
go dry are so shallow that only here and
there a stagnant pool is found. This wa
ter is scooped up, boiled and used for do
nestle purposes.
At Johnstown, Pa, two large reservoirs
which have supplied the city with water
are practically dry, and a third, the Hick-
ston run reservoir. is the only hope of
the entire city. Today many homes in
the central part of Johnstown are with
out water Warnings have been issued to
the people to be as economical as possible
with the water and new fire rules have
been issued by the authorities.
At Morgantown. w. Va. the large plant
of the American Sheet and Tinplate Com
pany has suspended operations on account
of the drought. Many lumber, coal and
coking industries along Decker's creek
are also idle.

BELFAST. August - 1905
When the Scotch planters came TO
the north of Ireland they brought their
love of learning and their scholarship
with their religion, and Belfast has al
WAYS been an educational as we'll as
denominational center, more noted than
anv other city in ireland for the excel
lence of its schools. Queens College.
founded nearly sixty years ago by queen
Victoria as a state institution, is at the
head of the system, and will soon be
university.
Two New Universities Created.
The act. of which / wrote you several
weeks ago, has already rassed parlia-
ment, creating two new universities, one
for the Roman Catholics. at Dublin, and
one for the Presbyterians and other non
conformists. at Belfast, with a govern
ment appropriation sufficient to support
them under the most favorable conditions.
Queens is one of the Goddess colleges
that one hears so much about in eccle-
siastical circles, because there is no chap
el no religious exercises or instruction.
But the atmosphere or the lnStltutlon Is
thoroughly Presbyterian, and the Rev.
DR.. Hamilton. the president of the col
lege. who will also be president of the
proposed university. is one of the most
eminent ministers in that denomination.
The buildings of Queens College, 600 feet
long. are imposing in appearance and of
solid construction. after the Tudor school
of architecture. with central tower and
two wings inclosing quadrangular courts.
There is a school of law and school of
medicine-one of the most important in
Ireland-with more than 400 students.
Just behind Queens College is the
General Assembly's Theological Semi
nary, founded in 1853, to train men for
the Presbyterian pulpit. 1t occupies
massive building of red sandstone that is
simple and severe. Across the way from
Queens is d Methodist college with 80
students. the building being after the
same general plan Queens. These
three institutions are entirely in SYM

crafts assumed position. Upward of 1000
people stood off Marshall Hall to witness
the contest.
At : o'clock The Mae was off, with all
eyes strained on the queer-looking craft
as she apparently darted along on top
of the water. The Mae was given a
handicap of 800.
When the flag dropped for the kindo
and Tryto to go the KindO started off at
good gait. Through a misunderstand-
ing of signals the Tryto took a wrong
direction, going down the river. She
was disqualified.
Kindo Has Accident.
Going up river at terrific speed the
Kindo received much attention. Flags
were waved and there were loud hurrahs.
1t looked as though the Moore boat was
gaining on The Mae. but within a short
time she was lost sight OF. The kindo,
however. was disabled off Brians Point,
three miles north of the starting point, by
the burning out of four spark plugs.
When the Mae passed the stalk boat on
the return trip a winner, there was one
loud hurrah AS r. Bruce Emerson dis
embarked he was given rouslng WEI
come.
There is great rivalry between the own
ers of the Mae and the kindo. Yesterday
was the first time the Mae has beaten the
kindo.
The disabled Kindo was tOwed back 10
the stake boat by Thomas Tennesson
launch, the Fairbanks.
The second race proved far more spec
tacular. owing to the closeness OF the con-
test between the Victor II, owned by VIC
tor Emerson and the Augusta, owned by
Cant F. A. Gaines This race was won
by the Victor IL. There was less than
two minutes difference in time between
the two boats.
The Victor II went over Il course Of SIX
teen miles from Marshall Hall TO Fort
Foote and return in two hours and forty
three minues.
1t was 1:21 o'clock when the Seasull.

stake boat The Seagull was allowed a
handicap of twcnty-four minutes. y

Belfast has quite number of municipal
utilities. The city owns the gas works,
the electric lighting plant and all the
street car lines as we'll as the water sup

a very profitable undertaking, and gas is

fair profit to the city. n municipal cleo

power for the street railway lines. 1t also

however. is not a profitable investment
and is running behind under municipal
