RIVAL CLUBS To
PLAY BASEBALL
First Ward Democrats Had
Meeting Last Night.

The First Ward Democratic Club
received a challenge last night from
the Fourth Ward Democratic Club
for a game of baseball. The former
association decided to lay the matter
over until the next meeting, although
the members, individually, were in
structed to assure the fourth ward
ers that the first ward Demos are
more than willing to test the dia-
mond strength of the rival club. A
committee will investigate and find
out whether or not there is sufficient
material in the first ward club to
defeat the challengers.
Owing to the small attendance,
there were no matters of Importance
discussed at last nights meeting of
the first warders. The suggested
project of discussing candidates for
aldermanic honors was laid over I'M
til the next meeting, August 16. A
general invitation has been extend
ed to the first ward Democrats to
attend the meeting of the Wilson
Club Tuesday night in Columbia
hall, State street, Albert H. Bran,
secretary of the club, read a letter
last night from Governor Woodrow
Wilson, which expressed the nomi-
nee's appreciation of the clubs sem
timents. The letter was as follows:
"Sea Girt, N. j., July 10, 1912
my Dear Mr.. Bran.
ut Is very delightful to receive
from friends in New Jersey Such
messages as are conveyed by your
lettsfJ;-and I want to thank you for

When Mr. Griffin made his final re-
port at the last meeting of the coun-
Gil voucher to cover his services
was not only ordered issued but the
aldermen gave him a vote of thanks
which the secretary was instructed
to incorporate in the minutes, The
counrilmen complimented Mr.. Crit
fin in lavish terms for his efficient
work in solving the city's water
problem. He was assisted in this
work by Water Superintendent
Davenport, and the council recog-
nized Mr. Devenports services by
ordering a vote of thanks spread on
tbs minutes
During the session Mr.. Griffin
added his praise to the efficiency Of
Mr.. Davenport in conducting the
water department He said the
plant was one of the best in the
state, The machinery he said, was
right up to now, and tho Plant was
one of the neatest and bekkept he
has seen in the state.
Mr.. Griffin stated in an interview
that the amount of water now being
produced by the city ought to be
adequate to meet all demands for
the next five years
! After Mr.. Griffin's final report had
been accepted by the council tho
water committee was instructed to
enter into a contract with him -
reclaim the mineral we'll, thus ex-
pressing further confidence in his
knowledge and ability as a hydros-
tatic engineer. The work On the

IN this effort the daily production OF

Williams street at a cost of S12S.2O.
The city owns five wells which
were drilled and put in operation at
a cost of $3S,402.09 The water
supply is obtained from four of
these wells, the water from the
other not being allowed to enter the
mains because of its strong mineral
properties, The first we'll drilled is
9S2 feet deep and cost $4,000 The
second well is 9S1 feet deep and was
sunk at q cost of 1900. These
two wells are located near the reser-
vofrs Well No. 2 Is the smallest,
being cased with four and a half
inch pipe, and is declared by Mr..
Griffin to be the best producer of
the entire group.
The mineral we'll is known as well
No. g. This well is $3.50 feet deep
and cost the city $29.19S.2S. The
water has been analyzed by the
government and its mineral proper
ties are shown to- be very valuable
for the cure of indigestion, rheu-
matism, etc Well No. is 1904
feet deep and cost $2,170.01, while
well No. 8 is $50 feet deep and was
put down at a cost of $2,23380
Wen No 4 is located near the
creamery and No IS is in the street
near the natatorium
Too much space would be requir-
ed to give an inventory of the pump
ing plant, but the most important
equipment consists of one Knowles
pump with capacity of 100000
gallons, one Beacon compressor, two
Laidlow-Dunn-G Gordon compressors,
one Worthington duplex pump with
capacity of one million gallons and
one Diamond pump with a capacity
of one million gallons.
Near the pumping plant are two
reservoirs. The small one has =
of $4,000 gallons. The
large reservoir, which was con-
structed four or five years ago, is
80 feet and five inches by ia feet
and five inches, and has a capacity
of approximately 440,96S gallons.
This reservoir is thirteen feet deep
and was constructed Of concrete.

water rentals have been reduced to
nominal sum.
This is regarded as splendid
showing whom it is remembered that
free water is furnished to the school
buildings, the Chautauqua park and
to the tr0ughs on the public square
No rental is charged on the seventy
five fire plugs whose earnings are
atcd at $3.50 annually.
To give some idea of the value of
the entire plant Mr.. Devenport's
annual report for the fiscal year
ending March 81, 1911, shows the
valuation to be $107,323.S0. The
Inventory of the water works shows
a valuation of S65.S5944. The pipe
lines are valued at S29,3916 60 and
the sewer lines at $14,072.76. The
outstanding bonds amount to $66,-
GOO.
The cash receipts during that year
were S14,473.fS. The expendi-
lures amounted to $11,38O.95. The
free water which was furnished the
7 city schools, the fire plugs, the city
hall, library, the Chautauqua, and
ether places was valued s6,552,9-.
This added to the cash receipts
would show an earning capacity Of
$21, 026,15 for the year covered by
the last report
/ Since that report a number of eN-
tensions have been made. A four

Some weeks ago d. G. Griffin of
Fort Worth, consulting engineer,
entered into contract with the city
to increase the water supply at least
twenty-five per cent in considera-
ton for which the city was to pay
him $500. He guaranteed to pro-
duce the results stipulated in the con
tract and in the event of failure he
was to make no charge against the
city for his services, Mr. Griffin
has completed his work and the re-
suits accomplished not only came u9
to the contract agreement but far
exceeded same. Not only did he in
crease the production Of the four
artesian wells the required twenty
five Der cent, but the amount OF
the wells is a little more than one
hundred per cent greater than be-
fore Mr.. Griffin began his work on
them.l Not only has he solved the
|city's water problem for the next
five years to come by more than
doubling the supply, but at the same
time he reduced the cost of fuel
about twenty per cent. The re-
duced cost in production was demon
strated by Mr. Griffin in a number
of tests made after he had complet-
ed his task of increasing the flow
of water. Mr.. Griffin began his
work on the wells about six weeks
ago. The first we'll he cut into was
one of the new ones bored by the
city a few years ago. Results were
not very encouraging at first but
Mr.. Griffin continued his expert
ments until success crowned his
efforts, and by the application of
scientific principles that were adapt
ed to the conditions of the We'll the
flow was little more than doubled.
He then followed up this work on
the other wells and the results ac-
complished proved to be entirely
satisfactory to the city council.

OFFER SHEEP IN SACRIFICE
Animals Killed at Steps of Palace In
,Constantinope on Feast Of
BairAm.

The idea of animal sacrifice seems
not be forgotten that ConstantinopIe
is Turkish, in spite of the numerous
desires on the part of other nations
to possess it-or rather because those
are SO numerous.
The new regime in Turkey is up
to date In many things. 1t is establish
ing schools, planning railroads and
hoping to take it's place by right, and
not by suffrance, among the nations Of
the world. But the favor of the devout
Mussulman is sought by strict observ-
ance Of religious festivals
The second feast of Bariam is the
occasion of sacrifice. Its date is varia-
ble since the Turkish year is lunar,
and not solar. Last year came in
December and it lasts four days.
In anticipation of this festival,
droves of fat sheep were taken to
the city from Roumelia and Asia
Minor. The price varied from
81 to IS. In all the rich and even
well-to-do houses these sheep were sac
rificed, and the flesh in most cases
given to the poor.
Naturally the most elaborate cere-
many was at the royal palace of Dol
ma Bagtche. The sheep, picked fol
their wilderness and plumpness, were
solemnly led to the palad& At the
hour fixed the sultan, surrounded by
his staff, descepded the steps and read
a prayer, while the first of the victims
was led to the marble step that be-
came the sacrifical altar.
The sultan made the motions of
killing the sheep, but actually handed
the knife to an officer, who waited I'M
til the sultan had withdrawn before
completing the sacrifice.
In the last three years the custom
has grown up that the skins and wool
of all the sheep killed in Turkey that
day belong to the sailors.
One of the old rites Of Bairam was
to consign all Christians to massacre.
This is now omitted in Constantinople.
But it can be imagined that in the
oasis of Tripoli this part of the cere-
monies is carried out with emphasis.
