1t appears that Monser had called on
the minister lately, saying that three or
four years ago he was connected with
Wright's church. He told story of pow

lily were actually starving for want of
money. He called on the minister on

The WATER FAMINE
Great Suffering in New York

So Low,

Many Of the Feeders Dried Up-The Peo-
pie in Hartford Drinking From a Pol
luted stream-MiIls Shut Down and
Hundreds Thrown Out of Employment
Only Early Rain Can Prevent In
tense Suffering.
NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-Anoth day has
passed without any prospect of averting
the water famine with which New York
is eminently threatened. All the officials
connected with the Croton Aqueduct
Department agree that the storag
reservoir and all the sources of supply
are so far depleted that by tomorrow
the scarcity will be acutely felt in the
higher portion of the city and that
within a week at the utmost the mains
will be absolutely dry.
Never in it's history has the city been
called upon to face so appalling a
danger. Water sufficient for drinking
and ordinary household purposes might
possibly be procured for a short time
from pumps and artesian wells, but in
the absence of an ample supply at the
hydrants the fire department would be-
come helpless and the very existence of
the city become threatened on the out
break of a serious fire.
Even under the most favorable cir
cumstances the water supply in some
portions of the city is normally so low
that it is with the utmost difficulty that
the engines can be kept at work, and it
is to this cause that several of the most
serious confiagrations of recent years
are attributed.
The farms and villages in Putnam
and Westchester counties are suffering
with New York from the lack of water.
Wells and springs and brooks and
ponds have dried up.
In and about Crotou Falls, Brewster's,
Carmel and Sodom, the farmers are cart
ting water in milk cans and barrels to
supply their cattle. At Brewster's Shove
and Baxter, the liverymen, carry water
from the river for sixty horses, and the
landlord of the house has to supply his
house the same way. The few springs
that have not dried up are visited by
neighbors from all around.

PROF. YOUNG'S WORK.
Curious and Unexplained Phenomena

Curious and Unexplained Phenom ena
Seen at Princeton.
PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 16.--During
the total eclipse of the moon, Prof.
Young, the well-known Princeton as
tronomer, had planned to max 9 series
of careful observations of the occulta-
tions of the smaller stars by the moon.
These occultations, or, as they might be
called, eclipses of the stars by the moon,
furnish the most accurate data obtain
able for calculating the position and di-
ameter of the moon, and the sets of OBJ
servationS taken simultaneously in
widely different sections, as in Europe
and America, give the best means of &C
curately determ ming the earth's dis
lance from the moon.
These EQUATIONS are rarely visible
even with telescope except in the time
of an eclipse, and last evening, if the
air had been clear, thirty-four would
have been observable in the great twenty
three-inch refractor of Princeton, owing
to the numerous light clouds, none of
them could be observed, and so this part
of the work could not be done, but dur
ing the periods when the moons face
was visible through the clouds a very
curious and as yet unexplained pheno-
menon was observed, namely, that the
Eastern part of the great satellites
face was exceedingly darker than the
Western part To what cause this may
DO due Prof. Young was unable to
state last evening.

Glynn addressed a large audience at
Cooper Union last night ON the admis.
sions made by the Pope in his recent let
ter on the condition of labor, and in con-
clusion, made the following remarks,
which created a sensation among his
hearers:
81 intended on next Sunday TO talk
about the remedies proposed by the
Pope. But something serious has hap
pened during the week. e The news
papers, by aid of the press associations
and on the authority of the Archbishop
of the Diocese of New York and what he
has alleged to have received in a letter
from the Propaganda, have made me the
subject of a great deal OF attention
am not sorry, however, that the matter
has again been precipitated. 1 shall
come prepared on Sunday next to say
what l have to say.

certain conditions can get my frock
back. I still have my frock, so that is
not true. 1 use it as a dressing gown
at home. 1t is my own and paid for
it, and if an attempt was made to take
it away from me I could say, I defy
you under the American flag.
1t if bad theology to call me an ex-
priest. According to strict theology l
am to be a priest for all eternity,
whether in heaven or in hell If 1 were
called to Rome I could wear my old
frock or buy new one and no one could
say me nay. But will not anticipate.

AN ALARMING SITUATION.
The Wafer Famine Causing Great Suffer

The Wafer Famine Causing Great Suffer-
ing in Connecticut.
HARTFORD, Conn, Nov. 16.-The six
months drought in Connecticut is still
unbroken. 1t is the severest one in the
history of the State City reservoirs are
almost empty, and wells are low. Even
springs have drie up that never failed
before, AID there is no w.L5Ar in swamps
and swabs.
Hartford's three or four reservoirs
were exhausted weeks ago, and since
the people must have water they have to
use the polluted water from the shrunken
channel of the Connecticut River.
The public is alarmed on account of
the impure stuff they have to drink, and
there have been numerous cases of diph-
liberia already. It. is known that swiftly
running water purifies itself, but the
Connecticut River is sluggish stream
and its bed rankly unclean.
The Windovor Locks Water Company
have begun TO sell pure water in the
streets Of Hartford at the price OF about
Eva cantS a gallon
Inc water famine Is no worse in Hart
ford than in many other Connecticut
cities. Meriden's water supply will last
not more than three weeks, since there
is only twenty-five inches of water in
its public reservoir.
At Moouus village, in the lower Con-
necticuB Valley, the reservoir is empty
and the mills have been closed. There
is very little water at Unionviile, an
the factories are idle part of each day.
In the extreme western part of the
State the water in the lakes and streams
is SO low that many mills have stoppe |
running. The Pennington river is 50
low that it is hardly more than Il trout
stream in size. Otis Pon1, which is
just across the Connecticut border in
Mas Sachussetts, is a reservoir that feed
the Pennington river and supplies water
to the Greenwood mills at New Hartford
and the Collins mills at Collin5viile, in
this State. the Greenwood cotton mills
| have stopped work on account of low
water in Otis Pond, and consequently
New Hartford is filled with iAle mill
| hands, who will ahon be in pccuniary
distress.
AT Colebrool the big Sawyer cotton
mill is idle five d tys in The week, and SC
also is the RivertNn rule factory. In all
