damnatiop, and consequently are losing
their earlier missionary enthusiasm.
Moreover, the organization and wonderful
progress Of the Christian Endeavor societies
and the Kings Sons md Daughters seem
likely to result In absorbing much OF the zeal
and enterprise now employed in the Young
Mems Christian Associations They are new
movements and they have tho attraction OF
novelty. They are organized inside Of indi-
vldual churches for the building up OF each.
while the others arc wholly separate and
Independent associations, drawing away
youthful energy. Nor can these associa-
tions be called popular with young
men. They do not awaken their enthu-
siasm to any great extent. They do
not accomplish as much as might
be expected from their enormous ag-
gregate endowment. Apparently their man.
ayers and promoters are body by them
selves. Therefore their worlds convention
has not provoked profound interest among
the religious public. Very little attention
has been paid to the proceedings, unless
within the restricted circle OF tho nssocin-
tion's officers. So, at least 1t Is in our
own country. and those religious agencies
now overshadow them.
Yet the Amsterdam Convention brought
together delegates from nearly every coun-
try In tho world, and it represented
religious enterprise Of i'm posing magnitude.

CrOton Water Scares.

It seems always to no a very ensy matter
to arouse public apy'oty in regard to the
condition OF tho water supply OF n great
city. At many times during the last twenty
years reports have been widely circulated
in regard to the impurlty OF tho Croton
water in this city; and on some OF these &C.
casions pictures have been published show
ing, or pretending to show, the shapes Of
tn. alarming organisms said to inhnbt tho
water. In every ono OF these instances,
however, We believe that scientific invcsti-
CATION hns demonstrated the fact that there
was no real cause for alarm. and has proved
that the water supply OF New York was
pure and wholesome.
Inst week the announcement was made
that certain chemical products known as
nitrites had been discovered In the Croton
water by the chemists OF the Health Depart
mcnt. The presence OF these substances Is
said to he certain evidence that the water is
exposed to pollution from decaying organic
matter; and accordingly the Board Of
Health very properly caused an inspection
to be made at once In the Croton watershed
in order to ascertain II possible in what
manner the contamination occurred.
This inspection was made by two chemists
and WAS only general in It's character. but 1t
revealed enough to induce the President OF
tho Health Department to direct continue
anco OF the examination during the present
week with creator attention to details: and
the probability is that in very fow days
the health authorities will know precisely
what and where are tho sources OF danger,
and thus DO enabled to take some measure
to prevent any further pollution OF our
water supply.
Meantime. 1t is satisfactory to learn that
tho latest official analysis OF the Croton
water made on Saturday, failed to show the
traces OF nitrtcs previously observed. 1t is
not impossible therefore, that the causes OF
contamination were only temporary, and
have already ceased to exist.
As bearing on this subject we would call
attention to an item OF news which was
telegraphed from Westchester county to
this city on Friday, to the effect that JAMES
CARROLL, laborer. had just been drowned
near Purdys Station while taking bath In
the Croton reservoir. OF course it is impos-
sble to prevent occasional bathing in all OF
the innumerable streams lakes, and ponds
from which the water supply OF great city
is derived. but 1t would seem as though it
were quite practicable to prevent the use of
built reservoirs for bathing purposes. We
have heard Of a man in the West who COM
mended the whiskey which he drew from a
demiiohn and offered to a guest. because 1t
had been used to wash the baby in, but this
idea as applied to Croton water is not alto
gether agreeable.
