Break in the Canal. level of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal a leak, which quickly de- veloped into a break, was sprung in the south bank about 10 o'clock yesterday. Vari- ous reports as to the extent of the damage to the waterway were received in town. The Star reporter, though, about 6 o'clock yesterday, met General Manager Nicholson, who had just returned from the scene of the opening, and was informed, on making inquiry, that traffic would probably be de- layed about three days. He was then en- in getting together a gang of men to imerease the force already at work on the reparation of the bank. This is only the second break that has occurred in the canal since Mr. Nicholson took his place at the head of the company. The break of yester- day is near the Great Falls. The water, of course, has been drawn off the affected level in order to facilitate the making of the repairs.

Samuel Ga-rett, a cable car gripman, was before the Police Court this morning, charg- ed with obstructing the 15th. street crossing in front of the Hotel Randall. It was on the sth of this month about 10:30 p. m., on what is known as the theater trips of the car. ‘There was a car on the track just east of the curve and when this train moved off Garrett opened his brakes. The train in front of him stopped, necessitating a stop- page of his train. The crossing was ob- structed for about three minutes. Garrett told Judge Kimball that he had no intention of obstructing the crossing, but could not have helped it on the occasion charged. ‘The court suspended sentence. cro amet Oysters Are F The Police Court two years ago decided that the selling of fresh fish did not come within the meaning of the law requiring a license for the sale of produce, but since the | °U88F- decision was rendered the police have ar- rested several persons and caused them to be locked up over night.

The series of rifle matches for members of the National Guard was concluded yes- terday at the range with the distinguished marksmen’s match. There were but six entries and only five finished, Lieut. Stewart withdrawing before the skirmish runs. The conditions of this match were: Open to all distinguished marksmen in the District of Columbia National Guard. Dis- tances, 200, 300, 500 and 600 yards; seven Founds at each distance, and two skirmish Tuns of twenty rounds each at unknown ces between 200 and 600 yards. The prizes were two valuable medals, donated, respectively, by Col. H. L. Cranford and Lieut. M. V. Tierney. The marksman mak- ing the lowest score in the match won the barrel of flour presented by Lieut. J. M. Stewart of the fifth battalion. Lieut. Hutterly, company A, engineer corps, won the first prize and Lieut. Laird, second battalion, the second. J. George H. Harries, inspector general, of rifle prac- tice, figuratively speaking carried off the barrel of flour. Capt. Bell ran him a hard race for last place and there is a strong suspicion that in these hard times these two men of family preferred a barrel of flour to a gold medal. ‘The scores by which the prizes were won and lost were as follows: Lieut. Hutterly, company A, engineer corps, 29, 30, 25, 29; tot ‘113; skirmish, %, 9%; grand total, 299. Lieut. Laird, second battalion, 29, 28, 32, total, 116; skirmish, 81, 8; grand total, al. Sergt.

If these officers in making their semi-monthly payments would give out say $ in quarters and half dollars, to say nothing of a few dimes, it would help matters very much. By adopting the plan suggested the government could float seve- ral thousand dollars of idle and now use- less silver, very much to the relief of the whole community. °. —— Transfers of Real Estate. ‘Deeds in fee have been filed as foilows: H.

The bride was most becomingly dressed rear in white faille and vell and her bouquet was of white roses.

That is, if Tor the purposes. of comparison. call it 100, for the purposes of com! mm call it then % cents worth of each of the follow- ing articles, will haye the percentage of nutritive value as given in the table.

Comparison of these tables shows that while some articles have Percentage in one list only others hold a fair rank tn both. This lers the consideration of both percentages necessary to any accu- rate estimate of the absolute nutrient value. ‘To this end the following table has been Prepared, and although not an entirely scientific statement, gives reasonably near the actual economic value of the articles at Washington prices. Table of economic values—Showing the cost required to obtain an equal amount of nutrition from each article: Corn meal, % cents; wheat flour, 3 cents; oat m 4 cents; potatoes, 70 cents; cheese, 8 cents: round steak, 9% cents; pork, ham, bacon, $1.25; sugar, $1.08; milk, $1.50; sirloin, $2. eggs, $2.50; "mutton, $2.50; tenderloin, 32. oysters, $3.10. That is, 25 cents expended in corn meal, or 33 cents in wheat flour in Washington, will bring into the house just as much nu- trition for the family as would $2.8) in ten- derloin steak or $3.10 in oysters. It may be of little or no concern to the man of wealth that it costs as much to adequately sustain one man or child on porterhouse steak or oysters as it does ten or twelve on bread; but it is another matter to the working man whose weekly earnings must be allotted between rent, clothing, food and all the additional neces- sities of the household. To him and his family extra cost of food simply means less of something else. The hard working man may, therefore, comfort himself with the knowledge that those articles which he has sometimes so much regretted his inability to procure for himself and family can offer him nothing beyond that which he procures at so much less cost. And he may well reassure him- self in knowing that, in giving his house- hold a good ly of corn bread, wheat bread, oat meal, potatoes and bacon, round steak, he is doing the right and’ proper thing for the working members of his fam- lly, and especially for his growing children, his earnings in the most ju- dicious and commendable way.
