plant at Indian Head. Nd, will be quite
heavy in the next month, as commencing

shipments, 1t is said. are for the purpose
Of getting supply of coal ahead to meet
the needs Of the plant during the winter
months, when navigation on the canal
is closed and no boats are coming down
from the mines in the vicinity Of Cum
berland.
In addition to this, barge No. g. one
OF the coastwise coal carriers Belonging
to the Consolidation Coal Company, will
arrive here early In the week to load
about LOO tons Of coal for q New Eng
land point. She will be followed later
in the month by other barges, so that
there will be busy times at the George
town coal docks for several weeks to
come. Since the opening OF the coal
shipping season to Indian Head, close tC
5000 tons of fuel have been sent there
from the Georgetown coal piers.

GALE ON UPPER BAY.
Sailing Craft Have Difficult Time
Reaching Safe Anchorage.

While the storm about this city Friday
night last was not particularly severe,
the wind on the upper part Of Chesa-
peake bay is said to have had the
strength of a heavy gale, and a number
of sailing craft were more or less dam
aged. The schooner Mafietta. well
known at this city. was caught In the
BAY near the entrance to the Baltimore
channels and was so buffeted by the
heavy seas that for time it was
thought she would sink. AS 1t was she
lost her bowsprit and portion Of her
rigging, and had to be helped into port
by the tug Kenmore. which sighted her
early Saturday morning showing signs
Of distress.
A bugeye, the name of which was not
ascertained, was badly damaged. and
was forced to anchor off North point to
ride out the gale. Her foremost was
broken off close to the deck. and she
". otherwise battered. A large part OF
her cargo of melons was lost. The bug.
eye had difficult time in making hel
anchorage. and several times it looked
as if she would lose in her fight. She
vas able to get under way yesterday.

STEAMER SOLD FOR $3.50, 600.
The Mills May Be Fitted for Service
Through Panama Canal.

Built for service as a floating dredge
for the United States Army engineers
service, the steamship Mills, which has
had a varied career since being launched
at the works of the Maryland Steel Com
pany, near Baltimore twelve years ago.
was in the past week sold at public
auction at Baltimore to ]. o. Mills OF
New York, and will probably end her
days in commercial service.
After the vessel was launched in 1901
she was used several years In deepening
harbors along the Atlantic coast. Later
she was sold and was fitted for COM
mercial work, and did service as a tramp
freighter. Then she passed into the
hands of a fishing corporation and was
fitted out as a floating factory Tor the
manufacture of fish oil and fish ferti-
lizers For several months past she has
been lying idle at the Maryland Steel
Company's works at SparroWs Point.
The sale of the fine vessel attracted
many bidders, and Mr.. Mills became her
owner on a bid Of $4,000 the largest
price ever paid for vessel sold at
public auction at Chesapeake bay port.
The Mills is fine ship. and Is 93 feet
in length, 52.5 feet beam and rs feet
depth Of hold. The ship Is equipped with
a triple-expansion. twin-screw engine,
three boilers of the Scotch type, steam
windlass, capstans and steering gear.
1t Is thought probable that the Mills
will be fitted out for trade between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts through the
Panama canal.

Victory" at the National.

The patriotic photoplay, Victory
which was presented at the National
Theater yesterday afternoon and last
evening. and for which genuine officers OF
prominence in the United States Navy
and several warships furnished char
acters in the cast and scenes, was a
thrilling success, if its enthusiastic re-
ception by large audiences is evidence
of the fact.
Its story deals with a plot to blow up
a United States warship by a party of
conspirators in mythical Latin Ameri-
can republic, the defeat Of the conspira-
tors by a naval lieutenant, who is ap-
prised of the conspiracy by his be-
trothed, the daughter Of the American
consul, and who arrives In q hydrOplane
in time to give warning to the officers
Of the vessel. Both the patriotic and
love features of the photoplay made a
decided impression. and served to in
crease a patriotic interest in and regard
for the American navy.

URGED ON 10 LOVE.
Secret Of a Happy Life, Says Rev,
W. D. Moss.

The secret Of happy life is in loving
your fellow-being, said Rev. W. d. Moss
of the University of North Carolina, who
preached from the pulpit of the Eastern
Presbyterian Church yesterday. Preach
ing on the text: Little children. love
one another he said that Little chill
dren" was the affectionate way in which
the Lord addressed His disciples. It 1s
also the language Of scientific accuracy.
he continued, for mem and women are
but children OF q larger growth
'.Here IL q man who claims to be
your friend. but just because you do not
let him own you and do not regulate
your life to suit his wishes. he s,llks
and fuses. What Is that but the chtld's
manner Of life in the world? Hero IL an
individual who Is selfish. What is that
but the child's clutching onto his belong
ings? Here are men and women who are
petulant and impatient. Is this not the
child crying for what is denied him?
How rarely one finds the great mood IN
human life What is that great mood!
It is expressed in this LANGUAGE OF
Christ: Love one another When love
enters our lives ali our littleness and
vulgarity ceases.

CHANCE TO GAIN FAME.
Amateur Sleuths Might Endeavor to
Solve This Robbery.

Amateur sleuths Of Washington may
gain immortal fame IL they solve the
mystery Of the robbery reported to the
police Of the fifth precinct late Satur-
day night by George c. Wright Of $50
10th street southeast When Mr.. Wright
returned to his home, following a week s
absence, he found one of the rear win
dows open and number of articles
gone The articles which were missing
might be used as clue for the anna
teur Sherlocks.
From the general nature Of the choice
made by the robber 1t seems certain he
-or she-thought much Of their looks.
Il does seem dificult, however. to ascer-
tain whether 1t was he or q she. or
q pair working IN conjunction with each
other.
For instance, the fact that blue serge
suit was missing Is offset by the fact that
a heart-shaped locket Of the sort gen
orally priced by women Is also gone. The
loss of a safety razor gives additional
proof that the thief was a man with an
unshaven face, but the subsequent dis
covery Of the theft of a. large jar OF
massage cream would seem to implicate
a member Of the gentler sex. Other arti-
cles missing were camera and its case;
pair Of small pliers. q chisel and an
assortment of silver and plated spoons
and forks. The entire collection is
valued at about $50

HUMILITY GREATEST NEED.
Evangelist Haskins Thinks It I
Lacking in Many Christians.

The greatest need of the Christian OF
today is humility, characteristic which
will bring him closer to his Creator than
any other, was the declaration of Evan
gelist !. F. Hawkins Of the Peoples Pull
pit Association of New York in a SER
mon before the Washington Temple con-
gregation in New Masonic Temple yes
terday afternoon.
The member of the church, the evan
gelist declared, should think less of the
polished automobile In which he rides
from his home to attend divine worship
and more of that humility of spirit which
will serve to bring him In close touch
with his fellow-traveler along life's road.
and which will serve splendidly to guide
him along the path the end Of which is
the saving of his immortal soul
Mr.. Hoskins also said that the Savior
of Mankind throughout His earthly ca
reer preached the blessing of humility.
as did his follower, the militant but hum
bic Paul.

ELECTRIC PLANT FOR TUG.
The James o. Carter to Have Com
plete Euuipment Installed.

The James o. Carter, the largest boat
Of the Taylor fleet in service on local
waters. is being fitted with an electric
lighting plant and searchlight. and the
work is being done while the vessel is in
service. The plant is a small one. but the
vessel will be lighted with electric bulbs
and the plant will be SO arranged that
while the vessel is running q little gen.
orator will charge storage batteries that
will supply current while she is lying with
machinery motionless. The searchlight
which is mounted on top of the pilot
house and will be operated from in side
the house, is large enough to pick up OBJ
jects several hundred yards away. The
new plant will make it easy for the pilots
on the Carter to go in and out of the mar
row tributaries OF the Potomac.
The tug Captain Toby Of the Taylor fleet
was fitted with a plant like that being in
stalled on the Carter about a year ago
and IL has given great satisfaction and
enables the boat to run when without il
she would have to tie up and await
daylight.
