the delivery to some citizens of water

ment, which must know where the
"dead ends" are, ought 10 make 1t its
business to see that they are blown out

is not so easy 10 see any reason for not

There are several "dead ends" In

HOPE Nor GIVEN UP,-There is
some hope entertained that President
Garfield will recover. We sincerely
trust that this hope may be realized
and that the country will be saved the
shock which must necessarily occur
upon the death of Its Chief Magistrate.
Still there seems from the tone of the
physicians about the White House,
not much to warrant us in predicting
the Presidents return to health
Yet there have been SO many recoveries
where men have been given up by their
attending physicians that there Is still

had become filthy and emitted foul and
death.dealing gases. This is greatly
to be regretted. The circumstance,
however, may lead to some good re-
suits, If the cause of typhoid fever
can be traced to this water as GER
tainty. Physicians have never been
confident that they were right al
though they have many times at
tributed typhoid to sewerage gas. In
this case it may possibly be estab-
lished that the use of the water i'm
