QUEBEC, June I2.-Nothing can be
discovered to show that Billy Mallory
or his family were passengers on the
steamer Sandman. A generally ac-
cepted theory is that Mallory came
here from Montreal and is now at one

Last year the American sloop Puritan beat
the English sloop Genesta in the race for the
Queens cup, which had been kept in the
United States thirty years. This year both
nations will try it again. The British crack
sailing cutter Galatea is coming to contend
for it American yacht owners have pre-
liminary races among their fastest sailers to
find which boat to put up against the
Englishman. The Mayiower, the Puritan,
which beat last year, the Priscilla and the
new Atlantic are the ones which will contend
for the honor Of beating or being,.beaten by
the Englishman, as the case may be.
As far as the preliminary tests have been
made it is thought the Atlantic will be an
easy winner. She was built expressly for
this cup race.

called for this afternoon, to insist up
on $3.50 per ton for boiling. Some
of the puddlers threaten to withdraw

not instituted in the scale. From pre-
sent indications there is decided
trouble In the ranks, and the conven-
tion may not adjourn before the end Of
next week. The manufacturers spoken

foul damp air upward through the chimney.
Mr.. Greene says he can quote many such instan-
ces as the above. So can l. Such system as
the one mentioned above would do in the
absence OF better one; but American plumbers
90 not care to adopt such a crude and expensive
system. they can suggest O much better plan.
Iney would construct air shaft OF cast-iron
pipe. and carry it upward through the building
and through the roof They would run a steam
pipe up through this shaft, and then ventilate
all their traps into it. They could then charge
the inner pipe with steam, and would then ac-
compilsh far more satisfactory results than they
could from the celebrated" English system.
We hazard the suggestion that Mr.. Greene is
more OF judge of steam heating than of plumb
ing. But enough of this venting scheme; it Is
sufficient to say that the laws for the regulation
OF plumbing in all of our large cities absolutely
prohibit the running OF vent pipes into brick
Hues-for very good reasons. There is no COM
parison at ali between the English system men,
toned and that adopted by the Commissioners
In answer to the reasons given by the
Commissioners to why they did not
provide an inlet for pure air to
enter the drain, would say that the reasons
given are absurd, for the following causes. l. 1t
is impossible to secure a perfect system of ven
tatlon without having an opening to admit
fresh air. which will insure constant crcula-
ton. OF course, the drain must be strongly
trapped also. Without the freshair inlet there
is no circulation of air through drain and soil
pipe 2 1t has been demonstrated satisfac
torily that fresh air inlet will not freeze the
traps when properly constructed. 8. The laws
for the regulation of plumbing in New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, and, in fact
nearly every city require fresh-air inlet to the
drain. a. The United States government so
constructs all the drainage in the government
buildings, in proof of which l can cite the
system of plumbing in the postofice
employed There may be seen the modem
system of plumbing which prevails everywhere
and which is the system approved by all sanitary
experts could continue almost indefinitely
and demosh the objections made by the State
house Commissioners to the report adopted by
the State Board of Health, 'as effectualy
as cyclone demolshes a Minnesota village"
but will not now, Mr.. Editor. intrude further on
you.
In conclusion. we think that discriminating
public will have no difficulty in forming an in
telligent opinion as to which party has been the
most consstent-the State house Commissioners
or the jourreymsn plumbers.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
That Peddler Ordinance.


To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
Of course Ii win pass. The grocers' union has
demanded It But it will die early. for it is
against public policy and sound political econo-
my. Common sense says let buyer and seller, pro-
Queer and consumer get together with the least
possible restraint and they will settle the matter
But this ordinance is nothing new. 1t has been
introduced periodically for thirty or forty years
and has passed once or twice, only to become a
dead letter and then to be repealed. The abso-
lutte necessities of the wives of laboring
men require that somebody bring marketing
to their doors. They cannot leave the
children to 60 to the grocery or to market, and
they cannot carry the provisions home or wait
the slow movements of the delivery wagons
Let any councilman or any other man go along
Coburn, or Dougherty. or Blake or Yandes, or
any other street and see who patronizes these
despsed huckters and he will fear cyclone of
wrath if he votes to abolish them just to please
the grocers' union. This land does not belong
to grocers unions or trades unions. Common
people, especially common women, have some
rights that even councilmen should respect And
by the way, stroll along North Pennsylvania,
and Meridian, and College avenue. and other
court ends will show that even the
wives of uppertendom, who ride deliber
ately to market at 8 o'clock, often avail
themselves of the cheap fruits and vegetables
CALL why not abolish all calling--the bell of the
scissor grinder, the call of the oman, and the
bell of the mk-man. All these noises are ex-
tremely grating upon sensitive nerves Then
there is the kindling wood peddler. Why not
abolish hint Is it because the grocers do not
keep KndlingsY
That all peddlers should pay some tax is true
enough-just as much and no more than any
other capitalists on their capital. That some
prudent regulations should be adopted concern
ing weights and measures is also true,
but it Is just true con
corning grocers and market-men. A
small special tax by way of license, might be
charged for the use of the streets, but this
should not be oppressive prohibitory, but
within the reach of hundreds of honest but poor
men, who, with capital Of often less than 800,
are turning honest pennies while furnishing
Injuries within the reach of poor people. The
man who drives from the streets the honest ped
dler of fruits, berries and vegetables will receive
the maledictions of ten thousand honest women.
