GETS NEW LEASE OF LIFE.
Schooner Donnelly Likely to Com.
plete Century of Service.

Although she has passed the half-cen-
tury mark of active service as bay
and coastwfse trader. the two masted
schooner William Donnelly has been
given a new lease of life and is said
now to be in condition to round out a
century of service If not to pass the
record Of the celebrated long-lived
schooner Polly, which, though over a
century old, is still in active service.
The Donnelly is owned by Capt. r.
E. White of Baltimore and recently he
had the vessel taken to Baltimore
shipyard and changed from a two
masted vessel. as originally built into
a three-masted ram Other changes
that were made in the vessel tend to
make her a better sailing craft and more
easily handled. The new William Don
nelly went into service last week and
under the command Of Capt. Davis has
gone to Dividing creek. Va. to load lum-
Der. She will be a frequent visitor here
with lumber and other .cargoes.
The Donnelly was built at Hamburg.
Pa, in 1860, for service as coal carrier
for the Reading railroad and, like YES
sells Of her class, had an extremely long
main boom. The putting in of the third
mast makes the sails smaller. She reg
listers % tons and is 37.3 feet long, 17.6
feet beam and IL feet deep.

FLATTIE TO BE REPAIRED.
Maggie Lee Will Be Used in Oyster
Running Trade.

The little f1attie Maggie Lee, which has
been lying out of service in one of the
docks at the oyster wharf for several
weeks, has been taken to Benefits boat
yard and hauled out on the small rail-
way for calking, cleaning and painting
and for. such other repairs as may be
necessary to put her in trim for service.
When ready to go into commission again,
it is stated, she will be used in the oys-
ter-running trade to this market
One of the large lighters belonging to
Warner Stutler is out on Benefits larger
railway to have it's hull rebuilt and to
be put in good order for river service.
It is probable that a number of timbers
will have to be renewed in the hull of
the lighter. and the work on her will take
a week or longer to complete.
One of the pocket dump scows belong
ing to John Miller & Co. used in connec-
ton with mud-digging operations IS at
BENEFITS for small repair work that will
be completed at once. The scow will be

DREDGING EASTERN BRANCH.
Work May Be Completed by the
Dewey Late Next Month.

Although the hydraulic dredge Dewey
has been working only six months in re-
moving material from the channel Of the
Eastern branch. between the Washington
channel and the Anacostia bridge, it has
succeeded in taking out and pumping
ashore on the part Of the flats to be re-
claimed over 100000 cubic yards, leaving
about 100000 yards yet to be excavated.
The dredge is now working on the por-
ton Of the cut at the junction Of the
Washington and Eastern branch chan
nels. and it Is said 1t will be the middle
or latter part Of November before it COM
pletes the work.
In the past two years more than 5000. :
GOO cubic yards of material have been
dug from the Eastern branch channels
making them deeper and taking out the
sharp turns. The big hydraulic dredge
Pittsburgh was employed upon the work
for several months last year, and last
spring the Dewey took it up. The earth
taken from the channel has been pumped
upon the Anacostia fats, and large
area Of it has been raised above the high
tide level and made of value for building
or other purposes.

Shoe Shapes.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The article in a recent issue OF The
Sunday Star headed Uncle Sans Search
for Seven-league Boots brings strongly
TO mind the persistence for centuries in
the use of abnormal and reforming forms
of the most important article for human
dress. The custom of contracting the
fore part of shoes to such an extent as
10 distort the big toe by forcing the fore
end laterally outward has prevailed from
the date OF discontinuance Of the use Of
sandals. including the present time. except
ing from about 1919. in the reign Of Edward
", when the elongation OF the toe of the
shoe into long. tapering point of many
inches reached its maximum. AT the lat
ter part of the reign the long-toed shoes.
which had maintained their standing for
so many centuries, were banished for
ever by the shape passing TO the other
extreme of greatest width at the toe; in
fact, assuming the form of the keystone
of an arch with it's corners rounded. This
form rapidly gave way to return to
narrow-toed shoes, with the serious de-
feet of distorting the big toe and con-
sequent loss of its valuable elasticity
furnished every step one walks. The
narrow form still prevails.

KNOWN AS PALMETTO.
New Lighthouse Service Steamer
Soon to Be Built.

Palmetto has been selected as the name
OF the new lighthouse service steame,
which is to be built for service in fifth
district waters and for which plans are
now being prepared by the lighthouse
authorities. The vessel is to have o
wooden hull. but will be modern In all
her outfit and equipment. She will, it is
stated. take the place of the steamer
Thistle. which is stationed at Baltimore
and which was built there in 1890 The
Thistle is becoming too old for usefulness
in the service
The selection Of the name Palmetto is
in keeping with the system of nomencla-
ture adopted many years ago by the
lighthouse authorit!es-that of naming its
vessels after flowers. plants or trees. OF
the fifty vessels in the lighthouse service
all, with five exceptions. bear such names
and these five are among the older YES.

Schooner ]. A. Holland Released
From Mudbank Near Alexandra.

The little schooner ]. A. Holland, which
ran ashore on the Potomac flats opposite
Alexandria, Saturday evening last, floated
on the high tide Sunday evening when the

The vessel had discharged a cargo Of
lumber at 10th street wharf here, and
was on her way down the river after an
other load, when she struck the mudbank
and slid we'll out in it. Anchors were run
and with their aid efforts We're made by
her crew to work her into deep water,
but it was not until the coming Of the full
tide Sunday that they were able to pull
her into the channel.
