A Baltimore contracting firm has re-
Gently completed the construction of stone
jetties in Nomini creek, Potomac river
and in Urbanna creek and Farleyvale bar.
in the Rappahannock river. The work
was done under contract with the United
States engineers office at this city, which
has in charge the improvement of these
waterways The jetties were built for the
purpose of preventing sand from sweep
ing into dredged channels and filling them
up, necessitating constant dredging to
keep them open to navigation. In all
about $500 cubic yards OF stone wall was
built, and of this about GOO yards was in

Or. TINOEll'S NERVOUS DAY
SECRETARY OF COMMISSIONERS
ARoUSES CURIOSITY.
But Who Wouldn't Be Nervous on
Anniversary of His First
Battlep

Dr. William Tindall secretary to the
board Of District Commissioners since
there has been such board, showed ex-
IRENE nervousness yesterday. The doctor
is usually very busy and active about the
Dig marble structure at the corner or
14:h street and Pennsylvania avenue. The
myriads of letters he must answer, the
thousand and one questions he is asked
by callers in the course of a weeks bust
ness, the almost innumerab!e details OF
District government administration nd
must watch are some of his troubles.
But yesterday his nervousness was OBJ
Served to be unusual. even for him. He
wore out an unusual amount of shoe
leather in his days travels around the
building. He dropped pencil in one
office. he carried memorandum PAD
out of another Office, he threw official
on his desk with the accuracy Of cow
boy ropng a steer. But whenever any
one dropped pin in the executive office
the doctor jumped from his chair.
There must be a reason, those around
the District building conjectured.
1t was considered that the Commission
ers. busy in the preparation of the esti-
mates for the next fiscal year. might
have intimated to him that raise In pay
for the secretary of the board was con-
templated among the recommendations.
Another suggested that his wife might be
coming home from d summer spent on the
Pacific coast.
Just when every one was wondering
which one had guessed right Dr. Tindall
himself declared that none of them had
even got warm.
When He First Faced Bullets.
The real reason was that yesterday
was the anniversary of the first time he
was under fire In the civil war. For DR..
Tindall was one of the thousands who
answered President Lincoln's call for
patriots who would volunteer to fight to
save the Union. He was volunteer in
Company G of the list Delaware Regi-
ment, when, September 16, 1862. near An
tietam, the party he was with heard the
whizz of bullets over their heads and all
around them and saw comrades dropping,
with cries of agony, beside them.
That was the first time DIR. Tindall was
under fire; but it was by no means the
last He served for three years and six
months, and saw the man at his right and
the man at his left sent to eternity in the
twinkling of an eye. His superior officers
told him on more than one occasion that
he showed bravery and courage in action,
and he was mustered out with an honor
able discharge.

YEARS WORK SUCCESSFUL.
DR.. Warfield's Report on the Freed
mems Hospital.

In his annual report to the Secretary
of the Interior for the fiscal year end
ing June 30. 1909, DIR. W. A. Warfleld,
the chief surgeon of Freedmen's Hospi-
tai. says that the work of the institu-
ton during the year. which was the
first in the new building. was conducted
with marked degree of success.
At the close of the preceding year
there were 131 patients remaining in
the hospital. During the year just
ended 2.346 were admitted and 244
births occurred, total Of 2.721 under
care. OF these 1886 were residents of
the District of Columbia.
Two thousand five hundred and
ninety-two were discharged, their con-
cred, 01o improved, 121 unimproved, :
not treated and 261 died. leaving 1923
in the hospital July 1, 1909. or the
deaths. 81 occurred within forty-eight
hours after admittance, being abso-
lutely beyond human aid when received
and were only admitted as an act %
humanity.
In the out-patient department the
following were treated: Medical, 1.457;
surgical, 800; ear, nose and throat 40;
1874; skin. 25S; genito-urinary, 225;
total, 1858; making a total of 6.21O in
and out patients receiving the benefits
of the hospital.
Among the improvements desired and
recommended, says DIR. Warfield, are
"a building to house nurses, who now
occupy the ward originally intended
for children, and this being the only
hospital in the city receiving colored
children under eighteen months of age
and the alarming death rate among
them makes this need extremely ur-
gent.
"A receiving ward, where all patients
seeking admission could be examined
and classified before admission to the
hospital proper, would add much to the
efficiency of the institution.
Grading and fencing the grounds are
among the needs that should receive
early attention.
An underground passageway from
the hospital to the morgue would per-
nit the removal of bodies without ex-
posture.
THE demand for admission to the
hospital from those who are able and
willing to pay for medical and surgical
services has been large. From this
source considerable sum could be
realized which could be used in sup
port OF tht hospital with good results.
1t is, therefore, earnestly recommended
that steps be taken to secure such legal
sanction necessary for this purpose"

SEARCHING FOR AUSTRALIA.
G. D. Mason Can't Find His Brother
on Schooner.

c. D. Mason of Accomac Courthouse,
Va. a brother of Capt. Mason, master Of
the bay schooner Australia, was in Balti-
more day or two ago seeking tidings of
his brother and Of the schooner. Mr..
Mason had heard that his brother, who
owned the Australia, had been drowned
in Chesapeake bay, but he was unable to
obtain any confirmation of the report or
tidings as to where the schooner is at the
present time, or of who now has her in
charge.
1t is probable that he will appeal to the
revenue cutter service bureau to assist
him in his quest. The Australia is a two
masted vessel of 80 gross tons burden.
and year or two ago was frequent
visitor to this port. The United States
register of merchant vessels, in It's record
of the Australia. has no account of when
or where the schooner was built, but
states that she was formerly the British
schooner Alma. and is a prize vessel"
She is said to have been built early in the
present century, but when last in port
here looked to be stanch craft.
