NEW YORK TOWN
A Prolonged Drought in
Eastern Section
ALARM FELT OVER FAILING
WATER SUPPLY—EXPERTS
SAY CITY LOST NEARLY ONE
; HUNDRED MILLIONS ON HER
ACQUEDUOT—CITY TOO WICK
ED FOR PREACHER.
New York. June 10.—The long
continued drought throughout the
eastern section of this country is be
ginning to make itself seriously felt
by the shrinkage of the available
water supply. Although New York
City is not yet actually running
short of water. Is supply of the pre
cious fluid has fallen so low that the
city authorities have considered It
necessary to put a stop to wastfull-
ness of water tor domestic purposes.
An effort is alto to be mado to re
duce, as much as possible, the tre-
mendous loss by leakage of pipes.
Condition In Westchester,
The towns in Westchester county,
north of the city line, are In a more
serious condition than New York
City. Yonkers seems to be In a par
ticularly unfortunate situation this
ear. Many times before did the
ater supply of Yonkers run low,
ut the town was always able to get
elp from New York. This year,
owever. New York Clty’a water
upply Is so low that the city can-
iOt afford to divert part of Its own
ater supply to help out neighbor
ing suburban towns. The anthorl-
les of Yonkers have found It neces-
ry to put the city on half rations
keep them thus until an ample
ilnfall should replenish the waters
f the Nepperham river, -which
ho source of Yonkers’ water sup
ply. the contents of the Grassy
Spring reservoir are not to be used
except In case of the most urgent
necessity.
Conld Save Millions.
Under the present conditions it is
rather aggravating to New York’s
citizens to hear from C. W. Baker,
editor of the Engineering Nows, that
New York City could have saved
from (50,000,000 to (100,000,00V
In the cost of the Catsklll aqueduct
1f It had utilized the waters of the
Ten Mile and Housatonlc rivers for
1t> new water supply. Ho save It
would have obtained a supply of
equal quantity, pressure end purity
In half the time and at a great sav-
lng of money. At the time when the
matter of providing additional wafer
supply for New York City was con
sidered four or five years ago, the
plan to use the waters of tho Ten
Mile and the Housatonlc rivers was
suggested, but It was urged by tho
opponents of the plan that, owing
to the fact that the two rivers have
their sources and part of their up
per course in Connecticut, there
were Insurmountable legal obstacles
In the way of carrying out the plan.
It was principally for that reason
that tho Catsklll plan was finally
adopted.
New York 1s too Wicked.
In the opinion of the Rev. Na-
thanlal Thomas Hafer, pastor of the
Trinity Baptist church In Brooklyn.
iNew York Is the wickedest city In
the country. In fact, so wicked Is
New York In his opinion, that
ha* resigned his pastorate to accept
ia position in the purer moral atmos
phere of Detroit. Pastor Hsfer is
evidently thoroughly disgusted with
and discouraged by the depravity of
Gotham and In his letter of resigna
tion and subsequent interview ho
emptied tho via! of Ms wrath and
Indignation upon 'this Tammany-
ruled City.” He seems to have a
particular grudge against saloons,
brewery trucks, noisy crowds and
tbs roaring of elevated trains, which
disturb his slumber.
Tho Boldness of Criminals.
The boldness of crimlnsls In New
York City Is almost beyond belief.
There are burglars In nearly every
city, but their tactics are mild and
gentle compared wfth -those employ
ed by their colleagues In this city.
Elsewhere burglars stealthily enter
a house, taking care not to arouse
Anybody who may be sleeping, and
much bolder. Four of them enter
ed an apartment house on East
116th street the other night and
^wakened the occupants of an apart
ment by pounding against the door
of their flat. The burglars ordered
the occupants of the apartment to
leave by way of the lire escape and
to “make themselves scare” without
delay, but to open the door before
they left The people living In the
flat did not hesitate to obey the
command, but In their hurry to es
cape down the Are escape they for
got to open the door tor the raiders.
This did not otop the burglars. They
broke through the door and were
busy searching for valuables when
policemen arrived upon the scene
and captured them.
The “Dog-Crazy Woman.”
The “dog-crasy" women of this
city are ldlgnant over tho recent or
der of the United States Treasury
Department, calling the attention of
the Collector of the port of New
York to tho fact that under the
tariff Maw animals of American
origin, which have been taken out of
the country, are subject of- doty if
brought hack to the United States.
Two out of three women who are in
the habit of taking a trip to Europe
every year, taka their pet dogs with
them. Heretofore these “darllnga”
could be brought back to the United
^States without paying duty, but the
new order puts a atop to this.
Whether the framers of the tariff
act really Intended to make the law
applicable to American pet dogs re
turning from a trip abroad, la not
known, but as the law Is quite plain,
tho port authorities have no discre
tion In the matter and Collector
Loeb has stated that, he would see
to It that the law is fully com[
with.
Horses that Love Music.
It seems that some horses,
least, have a higher developed taste
for music than tho average New
Yorker, who knows and enjoys only
one kind of. “music,” the rankest
kind of rag-time. The other day a
brass band marching along the
street played one of those popular
rag-time cacophonies. That prhved
too much for the more cultivated
taste of a horse bitched to a deliv
ery wagon. It bolted and dashed
right Into the midst of the noise-
producers, scattering them in every
direction and putting en effective
stop to the hideous noise. What a
blessing It would be if there were
more such horses In New York. It
is true, there would be a great many
more runaways, but tt might sub
due, at least to some extent, toe un
bearable rag-time craze rampant In
Now York.

murdering the unprotected women
and children in the western settle
ments. Colonel Crawford, who had
much experience In Indian lighting,
wa ( Placed In command of the ex
pedition.
On May 25, 1782, Crawford's
command began Its march on horse
back for the Sandusky plains.
June 4 the troops reach Wyandot
town, three miles from Upper San
dusky, but not an Indian was to be
seen. The following day, however,
occurred the memorable battle of
Battle Island, and the next day,
when the remnant of the command
gathered here, It was found that
Colonel Crawford, Dr. Knight and
one of the guides were missing.
For four days Colonel Crawford
and Dr. Knight were parared about
by their savage captors and Were otP
llged to submit to excruciating tor
ture. June 11 was set for the col
onel’s death, and savages gathered
about In great numbers. Dr. Knight,
who was an eye witness to Colonel
Crawford’s burning at the stake and
who was to undergo the same death,
