Editor Town Gossip: I'm plumber

supposed to be rich, l can't say that

into one Of our local stores and
bought a shirt for four dollars. ].
was an awfully pretty, pattern. !
asked the man who waited on me
whether it would iade. He said 1t
wouldn't and so I bought It. It came
back from the laundry today and l
wish you could see it. IT'S the most
discouraged shirt I've ever looked al;
What would you advise doing about
It? 3. M. WATTS.
DEAR MR.. Watts.
ALL OF your letter.
IS VERY interesting.
ALTHOUGH I'M frank to say.
I DON'T believe the first part.
IN WHICH you say
THAT YOU'RE plumber.
AND THAT you're not rich.
/. BECAUSE | don't see.
HOW THAT can be possible.
-
AND ALL plumbers I know.
ARE JUST rolling in wealth.
AND ABOUT your shirt.
III AGREE with you.
TAIIT 1T was aggravating.
BUT TO be perfectly frank.
I CAN'T work up.
MUCH SYMPATHY for you.
BECAUSE BEING plumber.
YOU HAVE SO many chances.

The theory that twins are not SO
much separate individuals as one in.
dividual split in two receives curious
confirmation from the fact that there
are many cases on record of twins
dying within a few hours or days Of
one another. When the second does
not die of the same disease he or she
dies for no particular reason, as far
as the doctors can see-simply heart
failure.

Fifty Hunger Strikers" Enact

tBy The Associated Press,

BALTIMORE, MD. Aug. 20.-More
than fifty hunger strikers" starred a
riot in dormitory of the Maryland
Penitenitary here early this morning
shortly before throe o'clock. The
men who had been segregated tore out
the electric lights and, with the build
ing in darkness, started a demonstra-
tion that lasted for hours.
Breaking out of their cells in some
unknown manner the men, though un-
able to get out OF the building set up
a, shouting and general racket that
could be heard for blocks City
policemen responded to a riot cali. nut
had little success in que1ling the dis
turbance because of their inability TO
see the rioters in the inky darkness.
The warden then resorted to fire
hose. several streams of water being
played upon the men by fire companies

then began to quiet down

bent; cell doors and inner iron bars
were wrenched from their places ana
gaping holes were dug in the brick
walls. The maddened convicts had
almost succeeded in reaching the yard
before they were driven back by the
guards.
1t was still dark when the police
and firemen arrived and after firing a
few shots through the windows, the
beseigers settled down to wait for
daylight, and for two hours they stood
outside the building listening TO the
curses Of the eonvicts as they finished
wrecking the place. As soon as it was
dawn the gate was wrenched open and

the prisoners retiring to the third tier
of the building, from which vantage
point they showered missiles upon the
beseigers. BY this time the firemen

hands in surrender. The only casual

WORTHY EXAMPLE FOR
OTHER COLORED FOLK

Prof. George Fox, County Super
intendent of Public Instruction. is
highly gratified at the action on me
part of the colOred population at
Pumphrey Station and its environs,
and the Superintendent and County
Board of Education are expressing
their great pleasure over the act of
an old colored man now laid to rest.
"Old Harrison Pogee," aged 80 years
or more, who died recently. some five
or six years ago began a work in the
neighborhood of Pumphrey Station
that has built a monument to his
memory, more lasting than stone.
Realizing the need of colored school
in that section of the county, the old
man set to work to raise money to
purchase the lot. II was hard work TO
collect enough pecIies. nickels and
dimes, to amount to several hundred
dollars the price asked for the school
lot. but the old man never faltered.
and on every and all occasions he
strove to collect the pennies that be-
gan to make dollars. that had climbed
IN IN the h"rdTeds when he was taken
sick and died.
His Iaithfulness to the cause; his
desire to see his race educated, rather
than to grow up in ignorance which
begets crime. was an inspiration to his
colored folk, and especially to his son.
who. after his fathers death, tscs up
the work whore it had been dropped,
and. inspired by the aged parents ex-
ample. carried it on to its fruition.
The result is today the lot has been
bought AID paid for, and the deed pre-
sented to the School Board with the
hope that a oolored school may be
built on the lot purchased through the
efforts of old Harrison Pegee at Pum-
phrey Station.
The Superintendent thinks the ex-
ample OF the old man worthy of emu
lation by his race throughout the
county. Certain it is that the aged
colored man of the county built bet

INTERESTING PROGRAM
OF ENTERTAINMENT

Sixty-fve years ago few residents
of the vicinity of Millersville. in Anne
Arundel county Md. possessed of en-
terprise and public spirit, conceived
the idea OF establishing an Academy
for the training of boys and girls.
Its first Principal was Prof. Phil
NJ. Leakin, one of the best qualified
ard most inspiring teachers any
school ever had. It's present Prin-
cipal, Miss Elizabeth Gwinn. is now
carrying on the work of the school
with marked success.
About one thousand students have
attended the Academy since it's work
began and have received, according to
thsir diligence and ability, training
for their work in life.
The record of it's past achievements
is in every sense praiseworthy and
secure, but its future will depend
largely upon what the Alumni now
do to preserve il. 1t has been thought
by those interested in the Academy
that it would be wise for the former
SbAuCiliNs AbllpN4hD tiiO INoNbAh VI OtAi
er institutions, TO combine with those
now enrolled upon its register in a
cmpact and vigilant organization in
order to be ready to cooperate with
the Trustees and Officers in any plan
or movement looking to the good of
the school. The Board of Trustees
have appointed a Committee compos-
ed of Mrs Edith CAN'T Duker, chair
man; Miss Elizabeth Gwinn, secre-
tary; Miss Emily Hopkins, Asa A.
Joyce, Harrison Nc. Baldwin, Rich
ard NJ Duvan, to call together all
former students and organize an
alumni Association.
Acting upon this authority they are
calling a meeting to be held at the
Academy on Thursday, September 2,
at 2::30 p. IN. A Committee on Enter
tainment will provide suitable and
interesting program. A large num-
Der of tho Alumni, former students
and their friends are expected, all of
whom will help to make the occasion
one of great pleasure to those pres
ent and of benefit to the old school
they love and honor.
A number of invitations have been
sent

miles west. of the Annapolis Water
Company's reservoirs and pump

head of South River This is a
considerably larger stream than
the one now used as source of
supply, having a drainage area of
about square miles.
The use of Bacon Ridge Branch
: as a source of water supply for
Annapolis has been considered at
various times, and in 1911 the
James II. Harlow Company, engi-
neers, were employed to make eK-
tensive investigations and surveys
and submitted reports, plans and
cost estimates for the develop

Mr.. Harlow's main plan was to

BACON RIDGE DAM.
AND CONNECTIONS,
NEARLY 100000
Whitman Report Estimates This
Would Be The Cost At The
Present Time OF The Main
Plan Proposed BY The Har-
low Company In 1911
THIS COST WOULD NOT
INCLUDE THE LANDS

In yesterdays installment of the
report of Norton, Bird and Whitman,
water engineers, the cost of the con-
struction of the dam recommended by
them was estimated to be 123,395. In
the sections quoted today. the engi-
neers refer to Bacon Ridge Branch"
as an additional source of supply.
This phase of the water situation
was made the subject of a special ex-
animation in 1911 by the James II.
Harlow Company, engineers employed
when the Annapolis Water Company
was under private management.
Three plans were then submitted by
the engineers. the main plan being
to construct dam across the stream
and from a 600.000.0@o gallon storage
reservoir have pipe line consisting
partly of 36-inch cast iron pipe and
partly of concrete lined tunnel, lead
ing to the present clear water res
eryoir.
The Whitman report says that the
carrying out of any one of Mr.. Har-
lows schemes would have avoided the
certainty of water shortage at every
prolonged drouth However, in other
parts of his report Major Whitman
emphasizes the fact 5ha5-the present
source of supply is all that is neces-
sary and that the cost of enlarging
the main impounding dam is, esti
mated > be s123,395. In his re-
port Major Whitman also shows that
the. estimated cost at the present time
OF the plan proposed by MIR. Harlow
is $69S,426, being S261,655 for the Ba-
con Ridge storage dam, and $340,676
for the cast iron pipe and tunnel line,
with incidental cost of aeagjneers and
legal fees. etc, amounting to $4,000.
Moreover this does not include the
cost of any lands that it would be
necessary to purchase.
