Where TO big the Well
Annals of Hygiene

Let us remember that well will drain
an area, with a diameter equal to twice
its depth. Therefore, a well twelve feet
will drain an area, the diameter of which
is twenty-four feet, thatis to say 1t will
drain the surrounding soil for twelve feet
in every direction. Obviously then the
privy should be more than the dep.h of
the well away from it, and more than this
again, if it is proposed to place 1t on a
higher level which, however, should never
be done The well shoald be lined inside
thoroughly with mortar, so that percola-
ton can not occur between the crevises
OF the bricks, and it should be well cover
ed. so that surface drainage can not get
into it, for you want to drink water that
has come into the well from the bottom,
after it .,as been purified by filtration
through the earth. Thus, then, these are
the precautions to be observed in locat-
ing and building your well in the country
How about the city Well water in the
city should never be used; the sources OF
contamination are too numerous and hid
den to be avoided.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The president
,-day issued the following:
EXECUTIVE MANSION.
MAsHINGTON. NoY. S.


EXECUTIVE MANSION.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.
To the people of the United States:
It is my painful duty TO announce the
death of Chester A. Arthur, lately presi-
dent of the United States, which
occurred after an illness of long
duration, at an early hour this morning,
at his residence in the city of New York.
Mr.. Arthur was called to the chair of
chief magistrate of the union by the
tragedy which cast its shadow over the en-
tire government. His assumption of tn q
grave duties was marked by evident and
conscientious sense of his responsible
ties and an earnest desire TO meet
them in a patriotic and benevolent spirit.
/ With dignity and ability he sustained
the i'm portant duties of his station, and
the reputation of his personal worth, con
spicuous graclousness and patriotic tdsl-
ity wilt long be cherished by
his fellow countrymen. In token
OF respect to the memory of the deceased,
it is ordered that the executive mansion
and the several department buildings be
draped in mourning for period of thlr-
ty days, and that on the day of the fu-
neral all public business in the depart
ments be suspended.
The secretaries of war and of the navy
will cause orders to be issued for appro-
pirate military and naval honors to be
rendered on that day.
Done at the city of Washington this
eighteenth day of November, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-six and of the indie
pendence of the United States of Amer
lea one hundred and eleventh.

Postmaster General Villas Pays Mr.. Artbur
Compliment.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. - Postmaster
General Villas says that Arthur's admins
tration of the government had com
mended him very strongly to the respect
of the people, and especially considering
the very trying circumstances under
which he took the Office, his administra
ton might be called remarkably success
full. No instance of the manner in which
he performed the duties of the Office of
president, in the previous history of the
country, offers a more commendatorv
record.
Secretary Whitney's Token of Respect.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. - Secretary
Whitney, said: II knew and esteemed
President Arthur very highly long before
he became president. l deemed him a
much ADLER man than was his repute
when he was placed upon the ticket. I
regret his death personally for he was
the most genial of gentlemen, and leaves
large circle of friends who will be filed
with regret"

A sketch of Harvard published in one

This is evidenced by the failure on the part of thousands of sufferers to find relief, even though they have exhausted the skill of various physicians and tried numer- ous so-called remedies. To such Athlophor- os is offered as safe, sure, and quick cure. Its success has been phenomenal, and yet it is not surprising because it will do all that is claimed for it. The Athlophoros Co. will gladly refer any who desire to make an in- vestigation to reliable parties who have been cured by it.

 There is no use of talking or complaining of having rheumatism. Just buy bottle or two of Athlophoros and you won't know what rheumatism is after you take them. I was down with that disease fourteen weeks, had the doctor attending me, I was helpless and suffered much pain; well, I was so low it was necessary to have two men to assist and move me in bed. I then, on the advice of friend who had tried it, commenced us- ing Athlophoros. Two hours after using it, why I could use my limbs around.

NEwTOWN's DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
A Married Woman Shot Through the Heart by Her Paramour-The Mur. derer Suicides.

Married Woman Shot Through the Heart by Her Paramour-The Mur- derer Suicides.
 BRIDGEPORT, Dec. 23.-Ap awful double tragedy occurred at Nswtown at 10 o'clock last night. William Warner, 8 young man well known in this city, has of late been quite intimate with Mrs. Mary Lynch, a rather prepossessing young woman aged twenty-one, who formerly lived in this city with her husband. She left here few weeks ago and went to live with her mother at New town. Last evening Warner called to see her and as near as can be learned they quar- relied, during which Warner drew 8 pistol and shot Mrs. Lynch through the heart, killing her instantly. He fired two more shots into the corpse and then fled to Hat terstown, but after wandering around the town returned to the scene of the tragedy. He entered the house and found himself alone with the dead body of his paramour, the family having deserted the house through fear. The inhabitants of the town, learning that the murderer had return ed to the scene of his cold-blooded act, armed themselves and surrounded the house. It was nine o'clock yesterday morning when the house was entered. A ghastly sight was presented to the view. On the floor over the dead woman lay Warner with bullet wound il. his heart. On his body was letter in fresh ink as follows:
 II want the letters in my trunk shode to the Publick to let them know what falts lover Ella was to me- The letters without Ella rote to me. Love dos it all. Don't worry. I are better off, Do the best you can. Good by"
 WILL H. ROWE, JR
 Will H. Rowe, jr., was a name used by Warner sometimes. The murdered woman's mother sister and little brother witnessed the shooting of Mrs Lynch.
 Warmers record in Bridgeport, where he has resided the greater part of his life, is not a very good one. He has been arrested sev- eral times for different crimes, and short time ago was arrested for assaulting and nearly killing man named Fred Lovejoy.
 The coroner found three wounds in her body, one through the heart, one in the back severing the spinal cord, and one which has driven a corset steel eight inches into the body The pistol was a six-shooter, heavy A calibre. The people of Newtown and Hat terville are terribly excited. The news has caused great sensation, as all parties are well known, .
