SICK WITH INFLUENZA.

DR.. Mundorf was seen at his home on
Carson street last night. He has been suf-
fering for II days with an attack of the
genuine so.oalled la grippe, but he cheer
fully submitted to an interview. he is an
acknowledged authority on the subject,
having spent great amount Of time in its
study. He said:
''The history of every typhoid fever epi-
demic that has been traced out and the
cause located in the water used, has shown
that small portion of organic matter pro-
fused through drinking water may make it
it injurious to the health Of any community.
From the steadily recurring epi-
denies Of typhoid fever on the
Southside, only lessening in their spread
and virulence as the volume of water in the
Monongahela river is increased, and as i'm
proved sanitation helps US to get rid of pond
and surface water, it is clear that the organic
matter in the water plays the roll of a
primary condition in the development Of q
typhoid fever germ.
''As from year to year the Monongahela
river has been made to serve the purposes
of an immense sewer, and that water distrib-
uted as drinking wstef to the people Of the
Southside, our section of the city has
become known as the most un-
healthy portion. I have prophesied
that the Allegheny river, subject
to the same condition Of impurities, will
become second source for the development
of diseases. And that fact is manifest even
now by the appearance Of typhoid in cpl
demic form In those portions OF the city not
supplied with Monongahela water.
"This view is not fanciful. It has been
abundantly proven in the history of epi-
denies in other portions Of the State in
which the pollution of water supplying the
town occurred miles above the locality in
Yaded. And this objection to river water
as a drinking fluid must become more mani
fest as our central and outlying population
increases. The conclusion to be drawn Is
that the only source Of pure water supply
must be beyond the bounds Of human habi-
tation.
HOW THE coUNc1LMEN TALK.
Councilman John Paul, Of the Thirty
second ward, said, when speaking of the
subject: II do not use the Monongahela-
Company's water, except for sprinkling my
lawn, or such other outside work as may be
necessary. have built cistern and filter
to use rain water which cost me $500, and 1t |
is worth 81, 900 to-day. I have clear, pure |
water in my house, and my |
people would not use the tap |
water for even washing. The possibilities !
of getting SONG other water may be remote,
but until theylsFe realized think the best |
thing we can 10 is to do without the present |
supply as far Is possible.

Insulated WIres.

The Board Of Underwriters in this city
is moving in the matter of having electric
wires Of all kinds, where they enter houses
insulated so as to prevent the possibilities
of fire where wires communicate with wood

works, the members and Fire Marshal
McFadden had tests made yesterday. They
found little danger from an uninsulated

TO CLEAN UP THE STREETS.

An Exposition Director said that he sim
eerely hoped that an official so attentive to
the manifest needs Of the public as Chief
Bigelow, Of the Department of Public
Works. would take little strell down to
Duquesne way, almost any day in the near
future, and take look at the condition Of
the approaches to the Exposition building.
If it is intended to allow the public to reach
the building at all, something must be
speedily done. The director said also that
It would stand to reason that by getting at
the streets in time TO have them completed,
the interests Of the Exposition would be best
subserved, and that the interests Of the Ex-
position were identical with the people.

A Mule Beats The Record.

One Spring day, about a mile out
side Decatur, Ala, hive of bees be-
longing to Colonel Clark went on a
swarm, a matter which should happen
to every well-regulated hive about once
in so often. just at that time Uncle
Reuben Slathers, an old colored man,
was coming into town with his mule
and Tag of wood. The road was
pretty heavy and the mule very lazy,
and to keep the flies off the beast Uncle
Reuben had stuck several branches into
the harness. Coming along toward
the Clark place the old man was say
ing:
lift dem hoofs an walk along or you'll
h'ar from me! If yo' hain't de LATEST.
doggondest onery beast in dis hull
State den I'll leave de church! Why,
sab, I'd sell yo' fur 81 an one leetle
'possum!"
About this time the bees got a move
on them from the hive, and by accident
or design the queen settled down on
one of the branches waving over Uncle
Reuben's mule. The rest followed suit,
and in two minutes the animal was
loaded. She had come to a halt of her
own accord, and the old man sat with
his mouth open and gazed in astonish-
ment. Not for long, however. Some
of the bees skirmishing around on the
outside concluded to feel the old mule
and see what she was made of, and as
about fifty stingers entered her feelings
at once she reared up, uttered terrific
snort and started off at break-neck
speed. Uncle Jerry was dumped into
the road at the first jump. and as he
scrambled up and saw the mule on a
dead run, with the sticks of wood fly
ing and the wheels shedding spokes at
every turn, he raised his hands and
| shouted:
Il takes it all back, Julius! 1 said
back dar dat I'd sell yo' fur 81 an a
leetle 'possum, but nevis has suddenly
riz. Go in, Julius, an make record!
De price on yo' right now is $500 and
1000 'possums, and I'll add 10 per cent
ebery minute till yo' is outer sight!"-
