SCOTT BOWNE, Chemists, New York. A PALATIAL HOUSE BOAT. Mr. Chisolm's Pioneer Now Finishing at Ne wbnrgJi to Go in Commission Next Month. College Point, L.

April 17 George E. Chlsolm of this place, las in course of. construction at Newtmrgh a steam houseboat which will soon be ready for launching. The vessel Is different from any houseboat ever built The hull Is of steel and is diivlded Into four watertight compartments. There Is a collision bulkhead forward, and next to this, as far as the engine space, Is a large hold used for waiter tanks, storage purposes and refrigerating plamt.

Then comes the engine 8pace, which Is inclosed in watertight steel bulkheads, carried to the upper deck, thus strengthenSng the upper Joiner work and protecting the boiler and engine. Mr. Chlsolm will call his yacht Pioneer. Her dimensions are as follows: Length over all, 125 feet; beam, 30 feet; depth. 10 feet 3 Inches, and draught, 5 feat 6 Inches.

The arrangement of the interior is truly remarkable. The dining room is about 12 feet wide and 17 feet long. Forward of the diningrcom are the state rooms for She owner and Iris family and friends. There are seven of these rooms, ranging in dize from 12 by 14 feet to 7 by 9 feet. There are two bathrooms, with porcelain bath tubs and plumbing of the most modern type.

There is a wide hall or passage through the center of the vessel, giving ready access to all rooms and to a stairway to the upper deck. Next, aft of the owner's quarters, are pantry, between the diningroom and the kitchen or galley, and large lockers for linen, orockery, glassware, etc. Then come two state rooms, a bathroom, a diningroom for the maid servants and a separate hallway connecting all of this portiion of the yacht and completely dividing it from the owner's portion and the portion aft reserved for the officers and crew. Tho machinery occupies a space abouit 8 feet wide and 22 feet long, extending to the upper deck, and lighted and ventilated by a very large skylight. The coal bunkers are under tho main deck.

Next, aft of She machinery, are the quarters of the officers and crew, consisting of a mess room about 8 feet by 10 feet, four state rooms, a forecastle, two toilet rooms and a storeroom. On the upper deck are two houses, but under one continuous roof or awning deck. The forward house is the pilot house and chart room, and the after house is a salon or music room. These houses occupy only a portion of the deck, and tho balance, covered by a canvas awning, will afford a roomy space for out of door life wherever the yacht may be. The interior of the yacht is finished in white glass, with hardwood trimmings.

The furnishings will be plain and simple. The Pioneer will have two masts, and will carry sufficient sail to serve her In case of any accident to the machinery. The machinery consists of two triple expansion engines of 64. 10V4 and 16 inches in diameter of cylinder and 10 inches stroke of piston, and an Almy water tube boiler. The engines are of a neat, light, open front pattern, and are right and left hand, and arranged to be conveniently worked with levers, near together.

The condenser Is a surface condenser in a cylindrical shell, with a centrifugal circulating pump. The air pumps and feed pumps will be separate and independent. The yacht will have a complete outfit of electric lights, with storage battery for use when there Is no steam in the boiler; also a refrigerating and ice making plant of the most modern type. Mr. Chlsolm is a son of the late William E.

Chlsolm, the multimillionaire, who died here a short time ago. The Pioneer's proprietor has Just had a palatial residence built, which commands a fine view of the sound. He will occupy it by May 1. Mr. Chisolm Is a member of the New York and Seawanhaka Corlnthian Yacht clubs.

The plans of his new yacht were by H. C. Wint rlngham, the naval architect who superintended the construction of the vessel. The new yacht will have her anchorage in the Bound, off the Chlsolm homestead, In this village, this summer. WANTAGH NOTES.

Shad Fishermen Busy in the Lower Bay. Some Good Catches by Gravesenders. Shad fishing in tho lower bay, between Stat Island an 1 Coney 1 1 an po 1 n't, has been better in many years than it. is now. Counting the Staten Island, Fort Hamilton and Grarvesenl beach fishermen there must bo ait least fifty boats which make two trip a day to tho fishing grounds.

Most of them aro drift nec flsthermen. The drifting grounds bo gin at a point off Fort Wndsworth on Staten Island and run southerly toward Coney Island point. In Gnavesend bay there aro three sets of fykes which aro lifted every morning. William Donley of Gravesend and Haven Marvin and John DeNyse of Gravesend Beach are the only fyke fishermen. On Thursday DeNyse caught the largest, number of s'had In one lift that has been taken out of a net in many years.

There wore 01J in all. Donley and Marvin are catching on an average 300 a lift. The drift net men aro meo Jing wit'Ii good success and seem to be entirely satis fled wlnh the number of shad running. The after beiug caught, are boxed right away and sh'ippeil to the New York markets, whore they are sold now at 30 cents apiece. This is considered a good price, but if tho good fishing continues the market price will drop steadily until the fishermen will hardly "bo ablo to pay those who work for them in tho boats.

There are also many codfish running in Gravesend bay. John Van Wart caught forty seven on Thursday, and every net brings in a dozen or more. The shad season will last, it Is thought, until May in. FLATBUSH NOTES. Henry TV.

X. Washington, D. April Congressman i Peter J. Otoy has distinguished himself by ac tive ami honorable service in the house of representatives, where he was sent from the Sixth district of Virginia. On the floor of the house and in the committee room he is a conspicuous advocate of measures for the advancement of good government.

In what high honor Paine's celery compound Is held in the family of this distinguished legislator appears from tho following letter: Dear Sirs For years I have been a great sufferer from neuralgia, and during the past Winter was advised to try your Paine's celery compound, and I used two bottles of it wltii great benefit. I was so much pleased wdth it that I persuaded my brother, John Floyd, to use it. He had been having a had form of nervous dyspepsia, and now, after using the compound for two months, is so much improved that we feel sure a third bottle will complete his cure. Everyone has spoken of the marked change for the better in his appearance. Respectfully, Mrs.

Mallie Floyd Otoy. This is ono of some 15 or 20 letters from United States congressmen or members of their families, that have recently appeared in the newspapers here, heartily recommending Paine's celery compound. One of tho most eminent physicians in tho city, being Interviewed by one of tho papers, suys: "Paine's celery compound marks a tremendous stride in the cure of diseases. "No remedy has over succeeded in driving out the underlying causes of nervous and organic troubles so surely and rapidly. No remedy represents so comprehensive a knowl THE WATER PROBLEM And Mr, DeVarona's Connection With It.

To tho Editor of tho Brooklyn Eagle: The Eagle of Saturday announced that Commissioner Willis was going to ask the board of aldermen to provide for the issuance of two millions of dollars of water bonds; the purposo being "for various additions to the water works," one of them to bmld a reservoir with a capacity of of gallons. Won't that be nice when we get the reservoir? What aro they going to put in it? Surely not water, for, according to the reports of all the oflicials connected w.th the city works department, water is a scarce article (U Brooklyn. Will the aldermen favor tile Issuing of the bonds? The borrowing capacity of the city, as stated, is now limited to and Controller Palmer is sa.d to be opposed to the issuing of water bonds at present. We have a reservoir at Millburn. Queens county, which cost the city a good deal of money, and which was built under foe direction of the department of city works, but is no better than a sieve for hold.ng water, if there was any to old.

Would not be well to spend some money on that in putting it in condition to hold water, when the city gets it, or sell it for a skating rink or a bicycle academy, or for somottung that will biHug some money Into the city treasury? The article gives several versions of what Mr. de Varona l.s going to do when the bonds are issued, and what he says on the ubject is refreshing and enjoyable. 1 had thought that Mr. do Varona was a subordinate In the department of c. ty works, and that there was a comuiiss.oner at its head with a chief engineer.

But I suppose they are only llgure heads the best, and w'liile the commissioner is busy looking after his political fences, and the chief eng.neer is reading up among his cobwebs and musty books, the whole charge of the department rests on the shoulders of Mr. dc Varomt. Engineer L. C. Elsensut proclaims that there is plenty of wjiter to 1m had on Long Island, that several millions of gallons can be secured per day, and it would be if were not.

as he declared, for the incompetency of Mr. do Varona. Mr. do Varona, on the other hand, says that Mr. Eisensut was suspended from the department for grave derelict: jn of duty, and that he is not responsible at times for what he says or does.

I believe that Mr. de Varona was not Ihe ngineer having charge of the construction of the reservoir at Wi" burn, and he may have bo tter luck construction of a new reservoir, if the tv millions of bonds are issued, and has the spending of the money. As tin City of lyn is In such bad straits for funds would it not be well to abolish the useless ollie. of city works commissioner and of ohb i neer of the department, and let the whole responsibility rest on Mr. Ie Va.roiia.

At any rat of Long Island is once: i put his favorites ivo of their gen i far as the diocese I am sure that tho new movement cannot be made under the present bishop.

There is a deep seated impression among his eh rcty that he lacks tenderness, sympathy and appreciation that in his place at (larden City he is cold and distant, and that, too when one of his priests cots into tr iiibie fractious vestry 1c leaves liltn without fatherly help and comfort.
