THE WATER FAMINE
Great Suffering in New York
and Connecticut.
ALARM IN TIE METROPOLIS.
Water in Croton Lake Was Never Before
So Low

Many of the Fooders Dried Up-The Poo-
pie iu Hartford Drinking From Pol
luted stream-Mms Shut Down and
Hundreds Thrown out Of Employment
Only an Early Rain Can Prevent In
tense Suffering.
NEW YORK Nov 16 Another day has
passed without any prospect Of averting
the water famine with which New York
is emineutly threatened. All the officials
connected with the Croton Aqueduct
Department agree that the storag g
seservoir and all the sources Of supply
40 so fpr 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.
Mover in it's history has the city been
called upon 10 face 50 appalling a
danger. Water sufficient for drinking
and ordinary household purposes might
possibly be procured for 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 anu lne very existence OF
the city become threatened on the out
break Of "a serious fire.
Even under the most favorable cir
cumstancas tho water supply in some
portions of the city is normally so low
that it is with the utmost diliculty that
the engines can be kept at work, and it
is to this cause that several of the most
serious couhagrations 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 Croton Falls, Brewster's,
Carmel and SOdOm, the farmers are cart
ting water in milk cans and barrels to
supply their cattle. At Brewster 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.

woman's suffering and woman's
weakness. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription puts a stop to it. It's
a remedy for all the delicate de-
rangements and disorders that make
her suffer, and a cure for all the dis
eases and disturbances that make
her weak It's legitimate medi-
cine, that corrects and cures a
tonic that invigorates and builds
up; a. nervine that soothes and
strengthens. For bearing down
pains, displacements, all the func-
tional irregularities peculiar to the
sex, it's a safe and certain remedy.
Other medicines claim TO cure ?
That's true. But they don't claim
to do this: if the Favorite Pre-
scription fails to give satisfaction,
in any case for which it's recon-
mended, the money paid for it is
refunded.
Judge for yourself which is likely
to be the better medicine.
And think whether something else
offered by the dealer is likely to be
"just as good"
You pay only for the good you get.
On these terms it's the cheapest.

poses to the Methodist Ecumenical Con-
ference held in Washington last month,
Is to meet here this week, 1t is the
fourteenth Congress OF the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States,
and 1t will bring together churchmen
from all over the country TO discuss the
live topics Of the day. The first Of these
Congresses was held fifteen years ago.
While the Congress has no legislative
power, its discussions will be interest
ing as showing the trend Of thought in
the Episcopal Church on several secular
and religious subjects. No delegates are
elected to the Congress, all churchmen
who desire to attend being welcome.
The management of the Church Con-
gress has been in the hands Of an execu-
tive committee whose members fill all
vacancies occurring In their ranks. This
committee, which is thus a close cor
poration, makes all the selections of
essayists and speakers at the sessions Of
the Congress.
The Congress will be in session four
days, beginning tomorrow. Senator
George L. Edmunds will preside, assisted
by Bishop 4. u. Dudley Of Kentucky
and Gen j. r. Anderson. The first SER
vice. is to be at 1890 o'clock at the
Church Of the Epiphany when holy
communion is to be administered.
Bishop Phillips Brooks of Massachusetts,
will make the address. The first session
will be opened Immediately after this
service by Senator Edmunds, the Presi-
dent. The regular sessions are to be
held in National Rifles" Hall.

WALES TWO VIRTUES.
The Temptation with Which He IL Be-
set When He Goes to Paris.

Letter in LOnQon 1rutn.
Every one who knows the Prince admits
he has two virtues, one OF which is rare in
France. He likes to be civil, and he is
punctual to keep appointments. However
late the supper that follows an evening
spent at the theater, he is next day sharp
to the minute at any lunch to which he
has accepted an invitation. He also comes
well valeted and looking spruce and good
humored. He is no longer easy TO amuse.
Formerly anything made HIM laugh, and
he found pleasure in the company of some
OF the dullest men. In saying this a GER
tain Polish count starts up in my men,
DRY. He was to the Prince as David
to Jonathan. He had not a single quality
to make his company agreeable 90 a per-
son hard to amuse, or who might have
been fond of gliding his amusements with
the conversation of men of wit or clever
ness. The Prince of Wales is idolized by
the chefs of those wealthy people at whose
houses be dimes, and Of the different res
taurants at which he lunches and sups
when over here He always does Justice to
the dishes prepared for him, and says what
he thinks of them. This is repeated to the
culinary artist downstairs. He accord
ingly does his best 10 prepare appetizing
menus. 1t should be remembered by all
who write about the prince that no human
Being was ever so beset with the kind of
temptations which, if yielded TO, material

CORVALLIS most respected citizens. His
eldest daughter was q beautiful young
lady. universally beloved by all Of Corn
walls people. By nature she was very
domestic in her habits and q good house
keeper and an excellent cook. In fact, she
had every accomplishment necessary TO
make man happy. She also possessed
clear business intellect. It did not take
young Huntington long TO discover these
qualities in Miss Stoddard, and he cap
tured the prize that many q young man
had sought to win.
The story goes in Cornwall that Miss
Stoddard's excellent biscuit made him
fall in love with her They were married
very quietly, for, as they said, they had
no money TO spend foolishly.
1t was not long after their marriage be-
fore he had a fine span of horses and
handsome peddler's wagon. By his mar
riage the foundation of his immense for
tune was laid
They moved to California, where Mr..
Huntington went into partnership with
Mr.. Hopkins. A short time before Mrs.
Huntington died she gave $1,000 toward
the erection of chapel in West Cornwall,
and had she lived she would have honored
her birthplace, where she and Mr.. Hunt
lngton spent so many happy hours to-
getner, with something more substantial.
She also intended to erect handsome
monument TO the memory OF her deceased
parents. Her constitution was not robust,
and her early trials and sacrifices TO adj
vance the interests of her beloved hus.
band brought her to an early grave.

oneAdvantage of Cons old ating Railways

c. P. Huntington in North American Review.
There is another feature of this question
that Is perhaps hardly taken into account
In the public mind, because its bearing
upon it appears, at first glance, to be re-
mote; but we are dealing with problem
OF the future, and the time is coming
when its close relation 70 it will be appre-
clated. The existence of an undoubted
security for institutions and for the great
mass OF conservative investors OF limited
means, who demand above all other quail
lhcatlons security that shall be safe, and
who rely upon their investments for the
incomes which are to support themselves
and their families, is soon to become ne
cesslty IN America. Our government bonds
are constantly being called in and cam
celled, whilst the surplus capital of the
country is continually increasing. Unless
stable and safe security for the multitude
Is Forthcoming, it does not need the astute-
ness of financier to comprehend the pos
sible situation of the future when the inves-
tor who seeks an assured income from his
savings will have to place his reliance
upon the wisdom of his own selection
among list OF many hundreds of railway
STOCKS and bonds, subject to all the
serious fluctuations that follow in the
wake OF selfish competition and ineffi-
cient management. The writer has
never regarded the existence of
large national debt as an evil in
prosperous and growing country like the
Unieed States, whose obligations do not
Affect the credit of the government. and
are not significant of any financial en-
barassment; but our people have decided
otherwlse, perhaps not unwisely; never
theless there must be substitute for the
people to invest their savings ina security
that snail possess the confidence of the en-
tire pubic. What shall it be? 1t seems
to the writer that nothing will be safer
than shares or bonds of the united rail-
roads OF this country, and few, if any,
other securities will be so easy to nego-
tate or raise money on. If this is true,
why should not very large number of
the people who use these roads invest
their money in such an organization, and
thus become, to large extent, the own
ers and controllers of the railroads that
they use?
