NO SIGNS OF SPRING.
Weather Bureau Says It Will Be
Cold and Clear Tonight.

Ut seems impossible to make the fore
caster at the weather bureau promise
beautiful spring weather of the sort that
makes people buy garden tools and
packets of seeds and bulbs. The best he
would say today is that tonight will be
sharp and clear and that the Their
mometer will drop to freezing. Tomor-
row will be clear and fine, but not very
warm. No regular spring weather is in
sight anywhere. and storm in the north
west is making its way across the coun-
try, but there is little likelihood of it's
reaching Washington.
The water in the Eastern branch of the
Potomac, which last night made pedes-
TRANS in Bladensburg take to skiffs and
rowboats, began to recede this morning,
and a strong northwest breeze helped the
river to assume normal conditions. The
flood at Blandensburg last night brought
the water to the highest point reached in
twenty years, according to town his
torians.
The streams at either end of Bladens.
burg were swollen to such an extent
that the water reached the height OF
buggy bottoms at the corner of sand and
Main streets, and came within three
inches of entering the newly constructed
Jail. near the south end of the bridge sep
arating the towns of Hyattsville and
Biadensburg. The first floor of the home
of Mrs. Bert Ross, near the bridge. was
flooded, as well as several shacks in the
immediate vicinity. Passengers from the
Washington. Spa Spring and Gretta rail-
road were transferred to their homes by
means of boats and wagons.
The water came within two inches OF
entering the bar of the Pan-Electric
House. and extended up Main street as
far as the George Washington House. A
colored family including several young
children was rescued from a shanty in
the Spa Spring woods by a. coiored man,
and many persons going from Washing
ton hired boats for transportation to their
homes. Some of the houses were slightly
damaged. and the roads over which the
water has been running will be left In a
miserable condition.

Catching Wild Ducks in England.

From Harper'5 weekly.
A novel method Of capturing wild ducks
is used in England. On small lakes where
the ducks are apt to stop for short time
a few tame ducks are kept as decoy
and a well trained dog and some wire
netting do the rest.
The dog is trained to act like q fox. and
the wild ducks congregate in large num-
bers to brighten 1t away from a screen
over which 1t runs back and forth. The
ducks keep up a constant quacking. and
the dog retreats. beng pursued until the
trapped fowls are caught in the network.
with portion dropped over the opening
to prevent their escape.
At certain seasons Of the year thousands
Of wild ducks frequent the fen districts,
and these traps have been used very sue
cessfully. to provide game for some Of the
large preserves.

Edward Ware.

The funeral services of Edward
Ware will be held at the residence on
Park street at p NJ, Monday.
Mr. Ware. whose death occurred at
his home, Friday morning. after a
long illness, was born in Athens, May
IA, 1854, the youngest child of John
and Sarah Maria Scott Ware. He
was educated in the public schools of
Waterville. at the Eaton family
school, at the Franklin family school,
and was fitted for college at Phillips
Academy, Andover, Mass. He went in
to business instead of taking a col
lege course and later became assistant
cashier of the Merchants National
Bank in this city, of which his father,
John Ware, was the promoter and
first president. In 1879, he went to
Athens and occupied the family home
until 1898, when he returned to Wa
terville. While in Athens. he was rep
resentative from Somerset county, in
1SS0-S1
He established an extensive lumber
business with mills at Winslow, in
$780, continuing in this business until
1S93 when he became associated with
the late Frank Chase in the Union
Gas & Electric Co, which, in 1901, dis
posed of its property and rights to a
Boston syndicate. For the next five
years he devoted his time and ener-
gy to the business affairs of his broth
er, the late George II. Ware, then III
failing health. Six years ago, Mr..
Ware purchased a large shore prop
erty at Spruce Head and there erect
ed most substantial residence as a
summer home of his family and him
self He had passed the greater part
of his time there, since 1907.
Mr. Ware was a member of the Uni
tartan church, and a man liberal to-
ward all religious. AS a husband,
father brother, friend and neighbor,
he was altogether worthy. He was
most generous in all the relations of
life and he left the most precious leg
acy which d man can leave-that of
a good name. He will be greatly miss
ed by all who had the privilege of
his acquaintance
A widow, Harriet Prindle (Collins),
Ware, and children, John Putnam,
Edward, Jr., Phil Thurber, and Hen
ry Hastings, and sister, Mrs. Ella
NJ. w. Smith, survive. The sister,
Mrs Smith, with her two daughters
were summoned from Europe in the
vain hope that they might arrive be-
fore Mr. Wares death.
