Boil the Water.

Under the heading Boil the Wa ter," yesterdays Hartford Courant ad- vises its readers as follows: ''The su- perb autumn weather that has been so much enjoyed has been really phenom- enal drouth. Hartford with the vast growth of it's population and in- dustries uses far more water than ever before and the supply is nearly gone. There is nothing for it but to pump. That means for half the city water supply that has been tainted by every hamlet from the northern end of Yer mont, and endowed with all the filth that Northampton, Holyoke, Springfield, Windsor Locks, Thomp- sonville and other large centers have been able to get rid of. Think of it Whew! All the injurious quality can be removed by the simple process of boiling. We eat no other meat or fish raw, and there is no reason why we should take our bacilli uncooked. Cook them and the possibility of harm from them is disposed of. This is so easily done and so necessary to do that neg lect in the matter is practically criminal negligence"

After breakfast the President retired to

After breakfast the President retired to his room as did the ladies.
 Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Dimmick, upon whom the greater portion of the burden of the illness of Mrs. Harrison has fallen, were feeling the effects of the long strain they had undergone, and perforce sought rest and quiet.
 They are in no other wise the worse, and will be able soon to resume the wonted duties of life
 The ushers were early required to re- ceive the cards of callers who came with messages of condolence, or on business connected with the sad event.
 Among the first to arrive was Rev. Dr. Hamlin, the Presidents pastor; Attor- ney-General Miller, Secretary Tracy, Postmaster General Wanamaker and Assistant Secretary of War, Grant, who remained some time in consultation with Private Secretary Halford and MT. Me Kee.
 Mr R. A. Parke, District Passenger Agent of the Pennsylvania railroad, who was consulted with regard to the trans portation of the funeral party to India napolis was also among the early visitors.
 MT. Michael Herbert, Charge D. Affaires at the British legation, was among the first to leave a message of condolence.
 Emperor William was represented by Baron Clemens von Ketteler, Charge D Affaires at the German legation; the sympathy of President Carnot was ex- tended by M. Jules Boeufvo, chancellor of the French legation, M. Maurice Depres, its secretary, and M. Thibaut, French consul in Washington.
 Other diplomatists to leave cards were Ye Cha Yun, Charge D' Affaires of Korea; Ceyatano Romero, Charge D' Affaires of Mexico, and Miss Romero; Minister Tateno of Japan and his wife; Salvador Mendonca, the Brazilian Min ister, and Dona Mondonca and Mgrditch Efendi Norighyan, secretary of the Turkish legation.
 With the great flood of notes and cards came 8 comforting message from ex- Secretary Blaine and Mrs. Blaine, who returned to Washington, Monday night to the big red house within little more than a stone's throw of the Executive Mansion.
 A great number of telegrams conveying messages of sympathy and sorrow have been received at the White House from all parts of the country. They have not yet been brought to the notice of the President, and none will be made public until he has been made acquainted with them. One of the first came from MT. and Mrs. Cleveland
 The casket selected for Mrs. Harrison's interment Is of cedar covered with black cloth with oxydized silver bars along the side and across the ends. On it's top will be a silver plate bearing the inscription
 Caroline Scott Harrison, wife of Ben jamin Harrison" aud the date of Mrs Harrison's death.

Tennyson's Successor Heard
 From,

The HustIers of the Valley.
 I. Many moons have passed away Since first we met each other; found the lady of my choice Out shopping with her mother. Our friendship grew and one bright night tried my heart to rally; Twas passing by that famous store, "The Hustlers of the Valley"
 IL The thought had often crossed our minds, That we should be united; The very thought, indeed 'tis true, Made both our hearts delighted But thought and practice are two things That do not always tally, And yet we kept our minds upon The Hustlers of the Valley"
 III. We walted-tried to save the cash, But single that's a trick; Sunday nights would come and go, The cash kept going quick, At last we bolted,-boldlY struck A bee-line through an alley And landed iu that famous store, Tho Hustlers of the Valley
 ". We first examined all the stock On their spacious floors; The busy clerks were kind, polite. So different from other stores. The stock was all the heart could ask, With prices suiting Tom or Sally; And soon we found ourselves at home, With "The HustlerS of the Valley" Che year has passed, and now we say To friends on every hand; Don't hesitate, but go at once, To South Main clear to Grand. Of all the stocks that we could find, There's none with them could tally; Now don'C forget, but keep in mind, "The Hustlers of the Valley"
