WEST CAPITAL SOON ID
 HAVE STREETS sPRIAKLEO
New Water Cranes Are Being Installed and Service May Begin
 Shortly.

The first step toward giving the residents of the West Capitol addition better service in the sprinkling of the streets in that section of the city was taken yesterday by Superintendent Avery Thompson of the city water de- partment, when he caused a new sprinkler crane to be installed at West Adams street and Twenty ave- nue. Another crane is to be put In at West Adams street and Nineteenth avenue, while one has been installed at West Jefferson street and Nine teenth avenue and another will be put in the first of this week at Washing ton street and Fourteenth avenue.
 Incidentally an order has been placed for the material necessary for the erection of fifteen additional cranes, the majority of which will be placed in that part of the city.
 With nine sprinklers running during the daylight hours, it is estimated that an average of 400 gallons of wa ter per minute is being placed upon the streets during the hours these sprinklers are running. This, coupled with the service installed sometime ago by Street Commissioner Christy of wetting down the streets in the busi- ness sections with fire hose, is more nearly meeting the requirements in the matter of laying the dust upon the city streets than has ever before been the case.
 The new sprinkler cranes are of a size which permits the filling of a 750- gallon sprinkler tank in less than seven minutes and means a distinct saving of time in the work of street sprink- ling and enables a sprinkler to per form more service in a given time than has heretofore been possible.
 It is said that this has been the best summer as far as the supply of water to be delievered through the mains of the city water department is concerned, that has ever been noted in the history Of the city. There has not been shortage as has heretofore been noted, due, it is claimed, to the fact that the new pump which was installed some months ago, and having a pumping capacity of 3,00O,000 gallons in every twenty-four hours is in perfect working order. This pump cost in lne nelSnDOTHOOu OI SlV,VOU anu IL 10 said is saving the city over s400 per month in fuel bills. The new pump is operated by steam generated from oil burners. whereas electric power had previously been employed. The old pumps did not have the capacity of the single new pump and there were times during last summer when there was a decided shortage of water, a condition which has not been noted since the installation of the new pump.
 Superintendent Christy has not an nounced just what he intends to do in regard to putting sprinklers into service in the West Capitol addition, but it is presumed that he will do so just as soon as the new cranes have been installed

TO FIGHT WoMAN'S SUFFRAGE

Lord Cromer and Lord Curzon have taken the lead in forming a national achievements suffrage league. More than S65,000 has been promised in subscriptions, and an appeal for a half million dollar fund has been issued. The women's militant organ ization has spent nearly this sum on their propaganda, and, so far as dem onstratiOns are concerned. it is safe to prophecy that the decorous meth ods of the "antis" will be completely overshadowed by the boisterous en- thusiasm of the suffragettes.
 As demonstration, the meeting in Trafalgar square against the suffrage was pathetic failure. The "antis" have still to learn the elements of the art Ow propaganda. Should they rouse themselves to some purpose there is every prospect of lively times in the coming winter, for a danger ous spirit is beginning to manifest itself among the more advanced suf- fragettes.-New York Evening Post

A BERNHARDT TRICK.

Mime. Sarah Bernhardt, who is sup posed to be something of an artist as well as an actress, was recently called upon in one of her marvellous crea- tions to enact the role of sculptor and to model a certain bust in view of the audience.
 This fairly electrified the critics, but when going into rhapsodies over the technical skill in handling the clay which Mme. Bernhardt exhibited they showed that they knew little of the artistic tricks of actors and actresses; {; as matter of fact, she does nothing of the kind. The bust is modelled and baked, and over it is placed damp clay of the same color. This the actress merely pulls off, leaving the beautifully modelled head underneath. - The Strand
