CALLED FORTH A PRoTRsT.

Some Prominent Citizens of Now
 Haven Signing . Protest Against
 the Erection of . New Boat House
 at Lake Whitney.
 There has been report in circulation for some time that the authorities of the Yale Boating association were to erect 8 boat house at Lake Whitney for the &C., oommodation of the class crews. Lake Whitney has been steadily growing in favor with the Yale boys as @ desirable boating resort, and they have at last de- oided to erect place for the aocommoda- ton of the rapidly growing number who are going out there.
 This fact has drawn out protest from a number of the leading citizens of the city and the protest is now receiving many signatures. They claim that boat house on Lake Whitney would be . public nui- sauce on account of the liability to pol lute the city's water. While they have no i'll feelings toward the Yale boys, they claim that the public health should be first, and that anything which would tend to mako impure any of the city water. should be avoided. With the approach of possible cholera season the danger special pains 1t is urged should be taken to obviate anything which might breed i'm purity. Gentlemen furthering the move ment urge that the people of New York are doing everything in their power to make the Croton water pure, and New Ha- yeners should not be slow in following their example and prevent the erection of any building which might in any way tend to make the purity of the water question

 No water that Is unfit to drink as water Is fit to use for a similar purpose as ice. Its coldness may benumb the sense of taste, so that no warning of i.s nature comes to the consumer. Its intrinsic clear ness and beauty may put him of his guard, but all ice cut from sewage polluted | waters is dangerous and should by law be kept from the domestic market.
 One may even sometimes zee citizens of this metropolis keenly alive to the sdvsn- | tages of cleanliness and insisting upon the use of distilled water at their tables, yet calmly plump into their glasses of pure water the frozen sewage of the upper Hud. son.
 Innumerable analyses have shown tn water does not purge itself wholly In ths act of freezing, as was formerly believed, from disease germs which may have com, into 1t with human waste. This has beer specifically and repeatedly shown to b, true for that most dreaded and fatal sew age germ, the bacillus of typhoid fever.

THEIR YEARLY ~ExAms.o

High School Pupils Were Examined
 Yesterday-Candtdat to be Exam
 fined Next Tuesday-Sehedaleo Of Sub-
 jects-Other High School Notes.
 The annual examinations of the scholars of the Hillhouse high school commenced yesterday morning. The examinations yesterday were as follows: Fourth class, English; third class, English; junior, zoo1- ogy and Greek, and senior class, Greek and English. The next examination will be on Tuesday, when the examinations of candidates for admission also takes place. It is estimated that about $50 pupils will present themselves for examination next week. The candidates will be examined Tuesday at 9a. m. in grammar, Wednes- day at p. m. in geography, Thursday at a. m. in history, and Friday at 9 p. m. in arithmetic. The reason for alternating the time is 80 that the incoming pupils will have sufficient room to be examined. The standard this year will be 60 per cent.
 Miss Maude Good Twin has been selected by the board of education as the prize elo- outionists from the graduating class of the Hillhouse high school to take part in the graduating exercises to be held at the Fly perion. The selection was made after Caf61ul eX6mlu6GlOu. mlbb 0OOUWlQ IS the daughter of F. T. Goodwin, the State street tea merchant, and she was chosen from @ list of over 200 contestants for the honor. Out of this number nine candi dates were first chosen, this number, after subsequent examination, was reduced to four. There were four contestants approved before the board for the final examination. They were Miss Edith Lord, Miss Fannie Terrel, Miss Richards and Miss Maud Goodwin. Each of the young ladies recited their favorite selection and all were surprisingly well rendered, making the matter of final selection very difficult task. After con- siderable deliberation Miss Goodwin was chosen.
 By winning this honor Miss Goodwin becomes qualified to enter the lists as candidate for the three years course of free tuition at the Emerson college of eloeu- ton and oratory in Boston, which offers the same as . prize to the candidate one from each high school in New England who ehall pass the highest examination in competition therefor. Miss Goodwin has the matter of competing also for this honor under consideration.
