persons are permitted the pleasure of enter
tanning friends under such circumstances.
We are informed that this was an occasion
of real enjoyment to friends aud neighbors,

The terrible ravages Of the disease in
that city last year were due TO polluted
water. an evil that has since teen re-

his opinion, cholera is at an end in
Europe except, perhaps, in Russia.
Such information, however, should not

AT the recent session Of the National
League Of Good Roads Senator Chandler
of New Hampshire said he thought that
one advantage for this organization
would be the agitation Of the subject
and the dissemination Of the facts bear
ing on good roadmaking through the
press. He was Of the opinion that either
a national red commission should be
appointed or else the secretary Of agri-
culture might be instructed to investi-
gate the matter and report the needs to
congress. he assured the delegates that
they would not find congress either slow
in acting or indifferent 10 any reasonable
proposition that might be made. He
quoted Secretary Of State Seward as say
ing that you a measure the civilization
Of a people by the character Of its rosds.
In this country we have come to de-
pend on the railroads and have neglected
one system Of highways He believed
that the bicycle riders were doing a great
deal to call attention TO the condition Of
the roads. He was glad 10 hear that the
railroad companies had taken the posi-
ton favorable to this object. As they
had caused the neglect Of the highways,
he thought that il was well that they
should aid this work for their revival.
What they wanted was to have the roads
in such a condition that n could drive
in a light wagon from Maine to Alaska
without breaking a spoke.
The convention heartily applsudei this
sentiment. with which the senator closed
