CHICAGO March Chicago drink
ing water, according to analysis, IS
practically pure, Health Commissioner
Ware says there is less impurities in
the water than ever before Prof.
Haines of Rush Medical College made
the analysis from samples taken from
downtown hydrantS.
They show, says DIR. Ware, "a
condition OF purity never before APP
preached 90 my knowledge Samples
of water have been taken from by
drauts and not from the water at the
crib. This makes the fact all the
more remarkable. These analyses IN

are complete refutation OF state
ments by papers in the East and
abroad, Any one can tell by eNamin'
ing into Prof Haines report that
there is absolutely nothing to be
feared The tests were made in Octo-
Der. January and this month. The
presence of chlorine is usually conSid-
cred the test of the condition of

ROME. March 2t.-A bomb was cN-
ploded at the entrance of the Mari
ghoH palace The explosion was heard
distinctly in the middle of the city,
although the palace is in the suburbs.
The houses throughout the neighbor-
hood were shaken, and for 200 yards in
every direction windows were smashed
and plaster was shaken from ceilings.
In the palace every window was
smashed, everything was thrown from
the shelves and much of the furniture
was broken. The stones at the en-
trance were thrown out of place and a
deep hole was made in the ground.
Hundreds of persons ran from the
house, and gathered at the entrance
until company of soldiers arrived and
cleared the streets. II was found that
nobody had been injured, although the
damage to property had been consider
able. No arrests have been made

Horace Horton has reached the
height of success in the way of bring

lie is wealthy invalid, and derives
great pleasure from teaching his pets.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record visited him the other day and
Witnessed his unique frog circus,
Gazing down into the artificial lake
he saw ocean shells scattered over
the bottom and wondered what they
were for Mr.. Horton gave shrill
whistle, and simultaneously from
every shell hoped ont n big frog,
who kicked itself To the surface Of
the water. All jumped TO the smooth
bank and sat staring at their master
"Attcntioun shouted Mr. Horton and
every leg was drawn close To the
body and the action was taken Form
In liue' came next and the we'll
trained amphibians formed in four
lines, with am old giant at their head,
who, MIR Horton said, weighed six
pounds and seven ounces. He was
enormous and looked as though he
had dined on his weaker brethren for
generations
AT the word command they per-
formed all kinds of evomtions, every
leg Kicking i'm perfect unison Their
movements were astonishing In NUM-
Der and variety. and one might we'll
believe MIR. Horizons statement that

select company into such perfect dis

drill and then followed "a jumping
contest At given signal each frog
in turn loaped into the water and dis
appeared.
"What You have seen my frogs do
SO far is very wonderful, 81 said Mr.,
Horton, "but their chief accomplish
ment you have not seen, or hoard, /
should say It is the wonder Of every
one and people have come miles to
Witness IT, Wait tin dusk and then

dusk came. and MIR Horton took the
reporter out TO the waters edge and
gave him a seat He then brought
out miniature musicians stand and
placed it mean the edge of the lake,
At single note the frogs came to
the surface OF the water and jumped
into the stand They formed a circle
and at the word of command began TO
sing a tune Each frog had been
solecte, because Of his fine croak, and
there was a perfect scale among tho
voices. The largest frog sang tho
deepest bass and little follow, al
most a tadpolc, sang snrill soprano.
IL was wonderful. Mr. Horton said
that during the warm months their
voices were clearer and swecter than
at this time OF the year When the
frogs began TO show signs Of weari-
nos. their master gave them tho
signal TO stop and all sought their
homes at the bottom Of the lake.
Mr. Horton tolls many stories Of tho
intelligence of his pots.
