However, when completed and equipped with the heavy guns, it was" found that she drew a considerable depth of water. Regardless of this she was launched and as fortune would have it did not' stick in the mud at that time. A short time later orders were re ceived by the captain of the vessel to bring if to New Bern to be used at this point The start was made amid tne applause ot tne Hundreds ot i.on foderates who were lined on the banks of the river and eyrry available dock. The first two miles of the trip were made in safety but near the end of the thrid mile from Kinston the vessel stuck jn the mud and although every possible effort was nade she could not be floated. After holding a consultation the captain and his officers sent a message to the general in charge of the mancu vers in this section and asked what disposition should;, be made of the vessel, that it was impossible to get her out ;pf the inud. i?

When:, the work was first begun the well, had a depth of only thirty-eight , feet. Now the- drillers have reached a sixty-five foot depth and have not yet obtained a sufficient flow of pure water. It will be sunk to a depth where 'the flow obtained is sufficient for the demands and where the water is pure. The last analysis of the water being used here shows that it is in excellent coodition and in fact there is no town in the state whose water supply is any better quality than that in this city. The last sample of city Vater sent to the State chemist for analysis was taken from a faucet in the office of Dr. J. F. Patterson, citv superintendent of health, and sent direct to Raleigh. Formerly it bad been taken out of faucets at other points in the city. The report the chemists made was verv satisfactory. Other cicies have had much trouble during the past few months with their water supply and much- sickness has been caused by 'impure water. In New Bern not a single case of illness can be traced to impure water. The water is used just as it comes from the rocks, without any adulterants or artificial purifiers being placed in it In some other towns alum and other ingredients are placed in the water to takeaway the impurities and to clarify it. At present there are several wells at the local plant giving a fine flow but it was thought best to have an additional supply in case of an emer gency and the new well was ordered aeepenea in order to get a largar now WATCH.PAVfNG WORK.

"Washington, No-v22.--VVhen Wood row Wilson becomes President he will face the enormous task of filling nearly 11,000 Federal offices, j, While other things are exacted of the Chief Executive, there is no other one job or one other dozen jobs that will consume so much time or try his pat ience as- far as that of picking those 11,000 men out of the lOU.OOO who will apply to him for appointments. The Postoflice Department presents the most formidable list of appoint ments to be made. The postmasters of the first and second' classes are still subject to definite terms of employment, and nearly 8,000 vacancies will occur during the next four years. When President Taft, by 'authority of Congress, placed the third and fourth class postmasters under the civl service he undoubtedly took from the postal system a large measure of the politics that existed under the old order. It is no longer pos.able for a Postmaster General to build up the powerful poli tical machine that could be constructed years ago. There will be enough appointment work ahead of Governor Wilson, how ever, to provide him with entertainment during the next administration. A deluge of demands for opportunity to serve the Government with proper emoluments is sweeping over the ad vance guard of Democratic Congress men in Washington. Thousands of letters asking for Government employ ment have-been received and the Senate and House postoffices have to work overtime handling the mail. Speaker Champ Clark is keeping four stenographers busy dictating replies to applications for positions under the in coming administration. The Speaker's clerks estimate that during the brief time since his return to Washington he has answered .several thousnad such letters. Wrhile the speaker has received a greater number of applications than any one else, (here has be'en no lack of letters to other members of Congress who have reached Washington. "I have received about 1,000 letters in the last four days, and they are still coming, said Kepresentative Henry, chairman of the House Rules Com mittee. SHIPPING NEWS.

Isaac lirooks with a black face sing ing and dancing sketch, next enter tained the audience. His work was good and was frequently applauded. The next sketch, a duet by little Miss Corrie and Master John McDanicl, took the house by storm and they were forced to respond with another selec tion.
