Power of this city deliver his huraorous lecture on “Blockheads. The lecturer’s discourse teemed with choice bits of humor and funny stories, told in an inimitable manner.

He de- sires to see his child, and explains that he cannot pay alimony. Albert C. Tenly cont2nds that his wife, Annie M. Tenly, possesses a violent and uncortrollable temper, and claims that it is a case of too nuch mother-in-law. He denies her charge of desertion, but while protesting against being ccmpelled to pay alimony does not ebject to a divorce. —_—__ A New Citizens’ Association. An informal meeting of residents of Eck- ington, West Eckington, North Capitol street and vicinity was held Wednesday evening for the purpose of taking prelim- inary steps toward the formation of a per- manent organization to look after the in- terests of that locality, similar to the Mt. Pleasant and Northeast Citizens’ associa- tions. A committee of five was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws, with in- structions to report at the next meeting, to be held Wednesday evening, the 15th in- stant, at the Eckington Hotel. ——.—__ Marriage Licenses.

THE MUDDY WATER Tt Besults From Heavy Rainfalls Up in the Mountains. It is Not Plensant for Habits of Cleanliness Nor for Drink- ing Purposes. It used to be the proper thing in writing about water to refer to it with such ad- jectives as clear, crystal and sparkling. That was before such water as Washington ™Tust needs put up with now was ever dreamed of by the most far-sighted prophet. As water—well, as water it is unique. It is pretty good for mud, and if it could but be prop2rly handled and dried it might make a pretty fair quality of adobe house, but for drinking and bathing purposes— angels and ministers of grace defend: us. It would be hard to imagine anything fun- nier than a bathtub filled with water these days. A person of cleanly habits, who knows he is not as dirty as the contents of bis tub, hesitates long before he takes his dip. He can hardly be blamed, either, for the best that can be said of the water is that it is wet, and if thoroughly. wiped off afterward with a rough towel the man may feel that he has had a ¢ath. That is all. < Worse for Drinking Purposes. But when it comes to using the stuff as a beverage the matter takes on even a worse aspect. It is as dark in color as a glass of bock beer, and not nearly as trans- lucent, ror anything like as tempting. Dealers in household goods have been doing a big business in filters the last few days, but even a filter cannot remove all evi- dences of the soil from the water. It is all well enough to say that the water is free from typhoid and other disease germs, but no one can claim for it that it is a tempting drink. Plonts that sprout from bulbs grow admirably in it, and find init both food and drink, but the average mortal would pre- fer to have his drink and food in separate dishes. To the general run of Washington peo- ple the question has settled into one of how jong the present state of affairs is going to last. “Why.” said one wearied and irritated Washingtonian to a Star reporter, “the drinking water we have to put up with at our house just now is as dark as a room lighted by Washington gas.” According to the officers in charge of the water supply of the District, the causes for the present unfortunate condition are nat- ural and beyond their control. In the course of a conversation with a Star re- porter this morning, Mr. Pickering Dodge said it was the result of rains up the Po- tomac, gnd it would depend entirely upon climatic conditions how long the water stays muddy. Result of Rains. “During the fall,” continued Mr. Dodge, “there was a protracted drought around the headwaters of the river, and the result was that from September 15 to December 21, continuously, the condition of the water as it came into the city was 36. By that is meant that a little ball in a tube of the water could be seen for 36 inches. That is as clear as the water can ever be expected to get. There were a few slight rainfalls, but the ground absorbed it all, and it did not affect the condition of the city’s water in the least. Since then there has been mere rain, and the result is what we see. December there was a rainfall of .75 of an inch at Great Falls. How much fall there was in the mountains we do not know. December 27 there was a fail of .53 of an inch. Of course, the amount at Great Falls does not affect the water; it is only the rain above Harper's Ferry, carried into the Potomac by the little mountain streams. December 27 and 28 the condition of the water was 1, that is to say, it was possible to see through the water for the d stance of only an inch. That’s pretty bad. On December 31 there was a rainfall of an Inch, and on the 2d and 3d of January the condition was 1. Since then it has risen steadily, until at 7 o'clock this morning it was up to 8, and the river may be said to be clearing. DalecarHa Reservoir Helps Some. “Some surprise has been expressed that the use of the Delevarlia reservoir has not helped matters to a greater extent than it has, but the truth of the matter is that Washingon uses so much-water—over fifty miilion gallons a day—that it has little or no chance to settle. Even if there were a dozen Dalecarlias it would not help mat- ters to a much greater extent, for the reason that so mvch of the sediment in the water is very light and can be heid in suspense. If you take a glass of it and let it stand it will he clearer, of course, but not all of the sediment will settle, no mat- ter how long it may stand. The Dalecarlia reservoir doe3 help things a good deat, for, as a rule, it betters the condition of the water from one to.four points. This morn- ing it was improved two points by passing through the settling basin. When it went in-it was but 6, but when it came out it wes 8, which is a considerable improve- ment.”* ————— The Hebrew Charities Ball. The fourth annual charity ball for the benefit cf the United Hebrew Charities of the District will be held next Tuesday evening at Natioral Rifles’ Hall, and prom- ises to be, as in other years, a great social and financial success.

At the monthly meeting of the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association Vice President Wood of the National Cigar Makers’ Union and several members of the local union were admitted. Mr. Wood made a speech, in which he described the dangers. to smokers in using cigars made by workers in tenement houses in the rorth, and the advantages to be gained, as the union men claim, by patronizing the union cigar makers In the District. A resclution was adopted agreeing to handle products of union home industry exclusively. The question of certain bottlers furnish- ing speak-easies and unlicensed places gen- erally with beer was also discussed, and a resolution was adopted that the secretary shall notify the bottlers referred to that unless the practice mentioned is stopped immediately the saloon keepers wil! boycott the bottlers. A bill which has been introduced into Congress proposing to increase the tax on pool tables, with which many of the saloons are furnished, from $10, the present rate, to $25, was discussed, and a resolu- tion to oppose the bill adopted. Royal Arcamum Visitation. Capitol Council, No. 320, R. A., turned out en masse Wednesday night to meet the Grand Council at their annual visitation. Regent W. H.
