The Colony fn Honduras Rally to the
Support of President Bogran.
New York, Nov. 20.-A dispatch frorI
Tegucigalpa, Honduras, says: 'sThe in
surrection here resulted in serious loss
to the American colony, Col. Alden H.
Baker, of New Orleans, being killed, and
Henry Smith, of Georgia, wounded.
'Some weeks ago the Americans in
Honduras, about 260 in number, signed a
paper agreeing to support President
Bogran in case a revolution should
occur. When the trouble finally did
break out the Americans rallied to his
standard, bringing with them their Win,
chesters.
':On the 18th the troops of the Presi.
dent recaptured the palace after stubborn
fighting in which the Americans bore a
conspicuous part. On the 18th Fort
Leona was storrned. The arsenals and
barracks were carried by assault on the
10Th. Sanchez escaped from the city but
was pursued, captured and shot, thus
ending brief and bloody revolution.

general order his thanks to the Ameri-

How Music Hall Melodies Are GeneraII-
Gotten Up.
The basis of a music hall song, as
take it, some familiar tripping express
sion, to which is fitted situation, as it
were, on which, by way of surprise, is
hung the sentiment. 1t might be that
the line has suggested itself,
always come home to teal
where there is certainly little pregnancy
of wit, familiar and ordinary, too, and
still less inspiration. But, mark, would
have the rollicking life of a true man
of pleasure-after the music hall ideal,
that isl mean devote my days and
nights to enjoyment, and, though a
married man, take young lady to
Barnum's show, not returning till
the very small hours Then. of course,
am very abruptly confronted with my
wife! And it may again be said that
these little outings are understood to be
comparatively harmless, not involving
culpability, and compatible with COM
pensality; to be caught" seems the Of
tense. "Oh, your (this is spoken).
"Where have you been?" my dear"
say, you know that"
This is the cue for the orchestra,
which lifts US all off into the burden,
very sly and soft at first, with an aiT
of innocence. For you know that

Whenever I'm out on a spree.
And IL Pm late catch it from Kate,

LONDON, Nov. 20.-An explanation is
published regarding the report that
judgment for large sum had been OBJ
tanned in the courts of the United States
against the Duchess of Marlborough.
The Duchess annual income on property
in America is 100000. This is a lis,
interest on which the American courts
do not allow a charge to be made, and
the Duchess therefore raised large sum
in England to pay for improvements on
Blenheim Palace and in the purchase of
a mansion in London. AS security for
the loan the Duchess insured her life for
a large amount and allowed judgments
to be taken in the American courts for
money advanced. The Duchess financial
position is not affected by this legal
operation,

DURING the 81 days of last month,
nearly 10 persons in this state mostly
children, persisted from exposure
to contagious diseases. Then again,
there were many sick, who did not die,
so that probably for the so and odd
deaths there were 500 or 900 ill, who
have fully or partially recovered. In
speaking of this fact DR. Lindsey of the
state board of health says: From the
known facts about contagious diseases,
it will be admitted that none of these
cases would have occurred, if the suffer.
erS, mostly children, had not been per.
mitted to expose themselves to these in
fections. In other words, these deaths
were avoidable. Boards Of health in
vain enact regulations requiring parents
and physicians to report contagious dis
eases, Too often both ignore the law Oh
neglect it until contagious disease has
become epidemic in the neighborhood
Housed containing cases of scarlet fever
or diphtheria are not closed to the
friendly visits of neighbors indeed the
presence of these diseases is often pur
posely concealed, and there is good evi
dence that even the physician is some
times ''particeps criminis" in such con
cealment. And thus the deadly poison
of these malRdies is allowed to work it,
fatal effects upon other people. If suct
culpable disregard of public safety is no
a crime against the community, ther
the careless switchman who derails .
passenger train, or the needless engines
who plunges it into an open drawbridge
are not criminals, and incendiarism ant
burglary are trivial misdemeanors.

IT IS remarkable that the first place
where it is seriously proposed to under
take the experiment of compulsory vot-
ing should be under other than republi-
can form of government. The draft of
an act introduced into the legislative
council of the province of Quebec pro-
vides that every person whose name is
upon the voting list must vote at the
poll where his name is registered at
every election for member of the legisla-
tive assembly. Failure to do this with
out furnishing an adequate excuse in
wolves the striking Of the name of the
offending voter from the list, and he can
be reinstated only by paying fine OF
$25 into the provincial treasury. Any
municipality is empowered to make
similar ordinance governing local
elections. 1t is very doubtful if such an
enactment would stand the test of con
stitutionality under any government
where the suffrage is regarded either al
a right or privilege, rather than an OBJ
legation to he rigidly enforced.

The incredible faulty which made
the republican leaders enact the McKin-
ley tariff still possesses them in discuss
ing its result. From Mckinley himself,
all the way down, they are unanimous
in asserting that the tariff is very ex-
cellent measure, but that the people
have not sense enough to know good
thing when they see it-a fresh evil
dence, if any were needed, that the re-
publican leaders have as poor an opinion
of the people as the people have of them.
But, it is the very essence of the repub-
lican political creed that the tail should
wag the dog and in this instance, they
are only sticking to their pet theory
with but very Indifferent success, how
ever.

polluted water in hot weather, and be-
tween what are working in the shops
and living alongside these foul ponds
there must be close to 5000 people ex-
posed to the danger of contracting dis
ease.
We have had in this city more than
our share of typhoid fever, malaria, dys-
EMERY, diarrhoea, diphtheria, etc. 1t
might perhaps be worth while to ex-
anime and see if the polluted water run
ming through inhabited districts and
into our shops may not be a very large
factor in generating those diseases
above mentioned, that are prevalent in
our city every summer. If foul barn
yard can effect COWS and their milk, so
as to make the latter a generator of
typhoid fever, do not understand why
the dirty water and refuse that comes
from some mills and enters others and is
allowed to spread out in shallow ponds
giving off foul gases and odors, should
not likewise affect the people who work
in those mills all day and those other
people who live close to the water.
We know what the state board of health
! has said. Is it not a good time, while
this water question is under considera-
ton, to take this matter into accounts
The mills do not require a great deal
of water. If the city had control of
Mad river it would not be difficult or ex-
pensive to send pure water into the mills
uncontaminated and unpolluted, and
send the waste and dirty water into the
sewers.
The water that flows through the Mad
river before it enters the city is remark
ably pure, clean and healthy. Even
after the greatest storms and rainfalls
there is not muddy streak to be seen in
it, for it flows along a clean gravel bed.
The supply will be ample for all time to
come. We want plenty Of water. We
want it to protect property against de-
structive fires. We want it to flush our
sewers in summer time, for sanitary
seasons. We want it for our varied in
dustries and those to come. We want it
! for our streets, our closets, our lawns,
our parks, our squares, our civic and
| private fountains. Let US not be afraid
of having too much. Let us provide
once for all for the future. Let it be a
source of revenue to the city instead of a
load of debt. WATER.
