WILL INSTALL
THE new PUMP
in SHORT time
IT ARRIVED ON SATURDAY
Foundation For 1t Will Soon
Be Ready

Yesterday marked the arrival of
the pump that was ordered sometime
ago for the city waterworks. The
pump will be hnloaded to-day, and
the work of installing it in position
will be begun as soon as the founda-
ton shall have been completed.
1t will be recalled that the parts
of the pump necessary for the foun-
dation arrived some time ago and that
the concrete work necessary for the
placing of the pump is now in progress
and will soon be completed. AS soon
as the foundation is ready, the parts
of the pump will be assembled and
ready to be put in position, as t
will be unloaded tomorrow.
1t will probably require two weeks
to place the pump in position after
the foundation is completed. The ma
kers of the pump will superintend the
work of placing the pump in position.
The pump will also be put through a
series of convincing tests by this
engineer, as soon as the work upon
it shall have been completed.
The first payment upon. the new
pump was made Friday when vouch-
er for $1,733, one third of the total
cost of $5,2OO, was signed by the
proper officials of the council and sent
to the pump manufacturers. The con-
tract for the pump stipulates that the
payment for it shall be made in three
installments, one Of which has already
been met.
work upon the concrete reservoir is
progressing rapidly. The new arte-
sian wells, which will greatly Increase
the supply of water available for city
use. will soon be completed, also, 50
that the enlarged and renovated water
works should be far more effective
than they have been hitherto.

PHTLLIES LOOK GOOD
FOR PRIZE IN 1912
Critics Again Pick Them as
Pennant Winners

Philadelphia, Nov. 25.-Many close
critics-outsile of Philadelphia, too,
and hence unprejUdiced-are pick
ing the Philadelphia Nationals for
pennant honors in 1912. Clark Grif-
fifth thinks highly of their chances
and declares that only hard luck and
injuries knocked the Phillies out Of
the glory this season. A ggreat deal,
of course depends on Doom himself.
If he is laid up again the catching
staff is through for none of the relief
men who were tried during Charles
absence seemed to fill the bill fully.
The pitching will be excellent,
ranking right up with the best in the
league. Alexander, Moore and Chain
ers are a foundation good enough for
anybody's hurling forces, and these
three will pitch 105 games among
them. Luderus, Knabe, Doolan and
Lobert make up an infield which has
few rivals in either league-one
whale of an infield fast and hustling,
full of fire and ginger.
The outfeld, Magee, Paskert and
Titus, with Beck and Cravath as fill
ings, is also choice. Net hitting
strength, plenty for all practical pur-
poses; fielding strength AL, and,
team play sure to improve steadily.
1t is the sort of a team which must
have a good start to win. Should the
Phillies get away badly they will
crumple up. Should they start as
we'll as they did last spring and es-
caue the troubles of 1911, it will be
almost impossible to head them OFF.

WORE RUBBER GOWN,
MEN RUBBER NECKED
Too Tight Even For Giddy Old
New York.

New York, Nov. 25.-A tall grace
ful woman dressed in a shimmering
yellow gown attracted much atten-
tion in the lobby and in one of the
dining rooms of the Hotel Breslin,
The men were interested and women
actually gasped when they took a sec
ond look at the woman. Her gown
was of such tightness that it looked
impossible for her to take it off with
out the aid of pair of shears.
Il would not have a gown that was

"A rubber gown What will they
do next? Goodness only knows!"
Best thing l ever have seen," said
a male investigator who also had solv-
ed the mystery of the fine-fitting
gown. 'I'mgoing to buy my wife one" +"
There mere fact that the women and
men had discovered the material of
which the dress was made did not al

turned in every direction as the wom-
an slowly made her way to table to
which waiter was conducting her.
Some gown, eh?" one man was
heard to remark.
Some figure!' said another,
C. C. Mobiles, assistant manager of
the hotel, went to the dining room
and had a talk with the head waiter.
The gown was too much for Mobiles.
He went up to the woman and said:

The woman, who comes from Chi
cago, arose and her face flushed red

upstairs, changed her gown and ask

"They let them go into the sea with
bathing suits" said one Of the guests
