What will be the outcome of the intensely interesting royal romance that is at present agitating the court of Kaiser Wilhelm and creating a sensation
throughout the civilized world? That young Crown Prince Frederich will be allowed to have his own way and marry Miss Gladys Deacon Is considered
out of the question. The Duchess of Marlborough, however, at whose palace at Blenheim the lovers met, is an enthusiastic supporter of her beautiful
young countrywoman's ambitions. So also Is Lady Paget, who Introduced Miss Deacon Into high society. The young crown prince Is as high spirited as
is his imperial father, and it is expected that further exciting and sensational developments will follow the most interesting romance that for some time
has agitated a European court.

Water Profits
The water departments of Lincoln
and the heavens have been carrying
on bold, relentless warfare for the
past four months and In every skir
mish thus far the forces under com
mand of General James Tyler, repre
senting the municipality, have been
badly worsted. It has been an unequal
struggle clear from the start. The at
tacks upon the city's brigade have
been made mostly without warning
and have come with such frequency
and terrific vigor that the lines of Gen
eral Tyler, perforce, have been held in
reserve, acting only In self defense
and for short periods at long intervals.
For the first time in many years the
city's water department has bowed in
submission, not completely, but it real
izes that competition is one-sided.
"Where last year it kept Its batteries
constantly at work now they are stand
ing idle, held only for action In emer
gency. Day after day, almost without
exception, for nearly four months, the
opposing and overpowering force of na
ture has made persistent assaults and
not until there is a cessation of Its at
tacks will the city make any effort to
assume the offensive.
But when that opportunity comes
General Tyler will move his column
with effective precision. He has been
saving ammunition all summer, has
his engines well oiled and trimmed for
quick service, and If he gets a chance
will show to the people again that his
army has not been dissipated by the
hardships of the. recent past.
"Yes, we have been easily defeated."
said an attache of General Tyler's
staff, "but we may soon get an oppor
tunity to show that we are In fighting
trim. Everything is in readiness for
a terrific onslaught but if we make it
at all we will have to make it soon or
wait until next summer.
"Last year we kept five engines
pumping constantly," continued the at
tache, "and we found it difficult and
at times almost Impossible to keep up
sufficient pressure. The consumption
of water was large, owing to the
drouth, the bulk of the water, of course,
being used on the lawns. This year the
consumption or use of water for that
purpose is less than half of what it
was last year. I can give you no actual

figures jfor the reason that no account
ing for July. August and September is
made until October 1.
"We can estimate, however, just as
anybody else can estimate, but un
doubtedly with a greater degree of ac
curacy, that the water used this year
on the lawns Is really less than half as
much as last year. We know that be
cause we are using only two pumps
and with those are having no difficulty
in keeping up sufficient pressure. When
we had five pumps going constantly
last year the pressure was low for the
reason that the pipes were always
open and as fast as we could pump
water Into them it went out at the
other ends."
The decrease in the output of the de
partment will make a corresponding
decrease In Its earnings and also a de
crease In the profits. The expenses at
the pumping stations have been slight
ly reduced, owing to the decrease in
the number of engines operated, but
the boilers have to be kept pounding
out steam all the time, night and day.
and just as many men are kept on
duty as when all of the engines are In
use. The office force and office expenses
are also about the same as usual.
The water authorities are unable to
estimate closely what financial differ
ence the great rainfall will produce In
the department. They think it will be
considerable but not large enough to
be serious.
Probably not half as many persons
are using any water at all on their
lawns this season as last, for they rely
entirely on the natural precipitation,
and those who do use water for their
lawns take only a little of It.
