Commissioner Ludlow has touched a subject
of deep interest to all citizens of Washington In
his discussion of the city's water supply There
is no doubt that the waste here is very great,
as must always be the case i'm a city SO full of
hotels and public buildings, where If is nobody's
business in particular to look out for the big
and little leaks. In regulating this abuse
however, care should be taken not to carry
the reform so far as to restrict the most
liberal of water that can be made
without crossing the line of wanton excess
Though Washington may be prodigal OF one
Of natures richest boons, she has also q
reputation, the world around, for cleanliness
and heaithfulness; and she could better afford
to pay a little more for her privileges, if need
be, than to cut them down to any great extent.
In the opinion Of some uf our sanitary authori-
ties, the so-called "water waste" by cleaning
out the sewers, serves an an important health
agency. so long, however, as the people in the
upper sections OF the city cannot get water
sufficient for necessary domestic use this argu-
ment in favor OF sanitary "waste" is hardly
worth considering, and until that imperative
need of the elevated quarters is filed, Commits
sioner Ludlow does well in seeking to restrict
the over protuse use elsewhere.

The whole country will observe with vivid in
ferest the DRIFT of things in the convention of
knights of Labor at Richmond next week. The
formulation of some definite rule regarding
strikes, and the settlement of the relations of
the Knights to the trade unions are two mat
tiers in which every one who employs labor, or
who is gamer or loser by convulsions in the
labor market, has a deep concern. Whatever
else may be done, IL is To- be hoped that the con-
vention will keep in sight the fundamental
principle which Mr.. Powderly laid such
stress in his testimony before the Congressional
committee last spring-the interdependence
of all industries. Whether the present
organization OF the Knights Is the best
possible TO effect is still, open question,
and the trade unions may be able to offer
some scheme of greater value to the working
world. But the lack of central authority has
operated injuriously to the unions in times
past, the farmers feeling enirey independent
OF the typographers, and the coal miners OF the
shoemakers; whereas, as Mr.. Powderly demon
strated to the committee, no one of these could
be In trouble without affecting the others
The order OF the Knights of Labor may not
have reached perfection yet, either in theory or
In practice, but it is so far in advance of most
OF the organizations OF labor which the world
has known in former years, that every good
citizen will wish it well till something better
can be substituted for it.

IL was scarcely necessary to make q formal
denial OF the report, sent out of Washington by
correspondents in search of a sensation that
the President accepted his country home as q
gift from syndicate of real estate spectators.
In the first place Mr.. Cleveland is not in the
habit of accepting gratuities from spectators
or anybody else; and in the second place. Ger
tain circumstance attending the purchase
and known at the time to everyone who had
occasion to watch the negotiations preceding
1t, leave no doubt that the story was made
out of whole cloth-perhaps not by the CORES
pondents, but by parties interested in discredit-
Ing the genuiheness OF the reputed sale for cash.
When Josephine Mansfield, the cause of the
quarrel which ended in the shooting of James
Fisk, jr., reads the correspondence from New
York In her Paris newspaper next week, she
will learn that il was Edward s. Stokes who re-

Obituary..


Died in Thetford Sept. 2Sth, Simeon
Newcomb, aged eighty-four years.
Mr.. >yewcomb was born in Thetford
and always lived in town. He with his
twin brother Levi were the oldest of
eight children, only two of whom sur
vive. Their parents, Jacob and Priclla
(HOwarO Newcomb, were also natives
of Thetfoyd and assisted in building
Thetford Academy, of which Simeon
and Levi were among the first pupils.
The twin brothers married sisters,
Dana and Lois Stowell of Versl.re.
The two brothers went to reside on the
farm which has always been the home
of Simeon. Levi few years after
ward purchased an adjoining farm
which is still his home. Each family
had three children of which all survive
but one. Each lived to see the fourth
generation. 1t is rare twins live to
such an advanced age. These brothers
were much attached to each other and
rarely day passed but what they Wis
tied each other when able to 90 out.
Mr.. N. in early life united with the
church at Union Village and was con-
slant attendant at church until health
failed, year before his death. lie
trusted in Jesus through life and he
found him very precious to his advanc-
ed and feeble age. When death APP
preached he felt ready and willing to
90 and dwell with his Saviour. An
other aged one has gone but others are
taking their places. With each year l
hope we can say:
One year less of life to live
But one year nearer heaven.

EDITOR OF THE OPINIoN.-In view
of the interest occasionally developed
in the public mind upon the subject of
the various reptiles, cold blooded ami
mails living in and being removed from
the human stomach, we send you, for
the information of your readers, the
following extract from the standard
and valuable work of the late Prof.
Austin Flint, NJ. d., of New York, on
the practice of medicine. No man
stood higher than Prof. Flint in the
estimation of the medical profession in
the United States. He says in the
fourth edition of his work, page 525 as
follows: Animals not entOzOOtic, such
as snakes, slugs and lizards are not in
frequently exhibited to physicians as
having passed from the alimentary
canal. It is popular notion that they
may live and grow indefinitely within
the stomach and intestines, and give
rise to variety of morbid symptoms.
In the great majority of cases the
statements with respect to the passage
of these animals are simply falsehoods,
proceeding generally from exaggera-
ton of that craving to become objects
of curiosity and interest which enters
largely into the mental constitution of
many persons. In some cases, how
ever, the statements are honestly made
persons being deceived. Prof. Dalton
has recently performed a series Of ex-
periments to ascertain the duration of
life of the common garden slug
Mmor ARRESTS and the water lizard
Triton miIepunctatus after having
been introduced into the stomach of
dog. The former were completely
dead at the end of nine and One-half
minutes, and no traces of them were
when the dog was killed
an hour after their introduction. The
lizards were found perfectly dead, and
about to undergo The digestive pro-
cess at the end of fifteen minutes. 1t
is safe to set down most of the cases
to as cases of either self-de-
ception or imposition" While it is
well known that intestinal worms,
such as the round worm, tape worm,
etc., do exist in the human body quite
your intelligent readers
can understand from the above extract
that a cold blooded animal can not
continue to exist In the stomach of a
warm bloOded animal like man, and
hat such alleged cases are either the
result of delusion or deception.
