SULLIVAN TO RETIRE
Well Known Topeka Art Dealer Will
Quit Active Business.


James D. Sullivan, who for the last
thirty-three years has been proprietor
of Sullivan's Art shop. 122-120 West
Eighth, is retiring from active BUSH
ness, on account of his health. Mr..
Sullivan has been a resident of To-
peka for many years, and has made a
signal success of the Sullivan shop.
Mrs. Sullivan will conduct the shop
in the future.
During his residence in Topeka.
Sullivan has developed large bust
ness in his art store, due to his pro-
fessional training and sense of artistic
values. Prior to coming to this city
he spent twenty-one years with the
famous Thurber and Bowen and Lee
art galleries of Chicago. He came to
Topeka in 1885 and began business as
an art dealer and restorer of paint.
ings.
Probably his most famous work was
on the restoration of THE Immaculate
Conception" by Boneto. The picture
now hangs in the parish church of the
Immaculate Conception at St. Marys.
Kan The painting is more than $50
years old and was sent to st. Marys
by Pope Plus TX In recognition of the
work done among the Indians by the
mission there.
Sullivan is a member of the Cham
Der of Commerce and is affiliated with
several fraternal organizations

entirely completed and workmen are
today placing roof over the pit.
Fifteen tons of steel REINFORCE
ments were used in the construction
of the pit. The two pumps. for which
the water department is now waiting,
each has a capacity of 100000 gall
Ions per day. 1t is not part of the
plan that both of these pumps shall
be used at once. One pump is to serve
as an auxiliary pump while the other
pump is in use. The pumps can not
be used constantly without some sort
of mechanical attention and cleaning,
and while one of the pumps is not in
use this work can be attended to. Fur
commission temporarily, its work
could be immediately taken up by the
auxiliary pump.
Insure Adequate Supply
1t is figured. according to Commits
sioner Newland, that above bed rock,
there is fifteen feet of water that is
not reached with the present equip
ment- When the new pumps are in
stalled, they will use from eleven to
twelve feet of this supply of water. the
addition of which to the present sup
ply is calculated to be entirely ade-
quate to supply the needs of the city
for some time to come.
Superintendent Shaw speak of the
trouble they have experienced in OBJ
tanning labor to keep up the daily
work of the plant in addition to the
work in improvement of the present
equipment. Shaw says that for
months men have been hired who
stayed on the job only a day or so, in
spite of the higher wages that have
been offered by the water department
to offset the difficulty experienced in
obtaining any sort of help.
New Well In Use
A new well was placed in commits
sion today when the work of putting
in the tube and the screen was COM
pleted.
According to Commissioner New
land, no difficulties are expected in
the installation of the new pumps.
From the pattern from which the ma
chinery is designed templets are made
which are an exact counterpart of the
machinery when completed. The
foundation on which the machinery is
to be placed is designed according to
the dimensions of the templet. so if
there should be a variation OF a frac-
ton of an inch even in the construc-
ton of the machinery. the machinery
and the templet both being constructed
from the same pattern. would be iden-

TO SUPPORT ORPHANS
Van Buren, School Students Have
Unique Way of Raising Funds.

The pupils of Van Buren, school
have renewed their pledge to support
two French orphans for another year.
Last year they made an adoption of
two of the fatherless children of
France, andvthis year, wishing to re-
new the arrangement, the pupils have
devised a means of raising the money
to pay the bill. The school bought a
big, handsome doll. and has prepared
an outfit for it. The girls of the sixth
and seventh grades made two suits of
underwear for the doll, both hand
made and trimmed with tatting and
crocheted lace.-all of which was the
work of the girls, under the supervi-
SION of Mrs. Cummings. the manual
training teacher. in the school.
The boys of the manual training
department made doll bed and
enameledS it. and the girls of the
school made a mattress and bed
clothing, including lace trimmed bed
linen.
The handiwork of the students will
be displayed Saturday and Monday at
the Baby Shop on West Eighth street,
of which the Misses Spalding are pro-
prietOrS.
