To Save the Spectators.

The bishop of London has ordered his
clergy to make special effort during
Lent on behalf of the worldlings of the
Stock Exchange and Lombard street,
who certainly need spiritual awaken
ing as much as the poor east end. The
bishops scheme includes midday serv-
ices at various ancient city churches,
and as business is very slack they have
been SO far well attended.
The stock produce brokers regard the
scheme as remarkably funny joke and
consider it their duty to help it along.
On Thursday during dull interval on
the Stock Exchange somebody suggested
a special mission ON behalf of the souls
of the bucket shop keepers, whereat
there was much enthusiasm. London

It Has Been Found That Pollution In This
Stream Increased the Death Rate.
The city of Lawrence, Mass, is ex-
perimenting with filter bed" with
which it hopes to purify the water of
the Merrimac river, the source of the
water supply of that city. The sum of
$50, 600 already has been expended for
the purpose. The experiment is being
made in pursuance of the discovery
made two years ago by the state board
of health of Massachusetts, that certain
cities which had suffered especially
from typhoid fever were using water
from polluted rivers. The board gave
assurance that by the use Of filter beds
08 per cent of the bacteria organisms,
some of which are harmful, would be
removed.
The filtering was begun Sept. 90,
since which time daily investigation
shows that this proportion of the bac-
terra is removed from the water, and
also that the water is so purified that
three -fourths of the remaining per
cent die before the water reaches the
dwelling houses. The fact that the
number of deaths from typhoid fever in
that city during the months of October
and November of last year was only
one each month, while formerly the iav.
erage for five years was five each month,
seems to furnish conclusive evidence
that there is virtue in the plan rec
commended by the Massachusetts board.

Death In California of n Man Who Was
Once "High Roller" In Europe.

Once "High Roller" In Europe.
]. S. Scenti, who had made and lost
millions almost in day, was found
dead in his cabin on Alanitos beach,
California, few days ago. He had
died from pneumonia.
SCENT had checkered career. Seven
or eight years ago Paris was the scene
of great gambling craze, which was
of short Duration Scenti, who was
native of Spain and man go years Of
age, created more excitement in gam
bling circles at the time than did Billy
Hurt. During his short stay in Paris he
managed to make several millions of
dollars through cards and other gam
bling devices known only in Paris and
Monte Carlo. He lost his gainings as
easily as he won them.
Becoming disgusted with the life, he
sailed for New York with quite snug
sum. Several years passed over his head
and he was without anything save the
valuable jewels and trinkets which he
always carried with him. Misfortune
having overtaken him, as it eventually
does every man of his kind, SCENT came
to California. When he settled in the
little cabin by the sea, he decided to
live and die in obscurity. His life as a
hermit did not last long.
SCENT avoided meeting people when
ever possible. He lived from the sale
OF his trinkets and sold them at a great
reduction. San Francisco Examiner,

AMERICANS IN EUROPE.

The English Bonifncc Is Making Prepara-
tious TO Entertain Many of Us This Year.
Already the indications are that more
Americans are coming TO Europe this
year than ever before. The proprietors O
the principal hotels in London are rejoic-
ing over the fact that they have received
more applications for apartments dur
ing the season from all parts of the
United States than at so early date in
any previous year. II their expecta-
tions are unfulfilled, ii will be dismal
time for the English boniface, for the
best of them found the balance on the
wrong side of the ledger last year, and
America is the sole hope for many of
them. One thing only it was feared
might check the exodus, and that dan
ger is probably over. Most of the steam
ship lines made some advance in first
class fares last season in anticipation of
Worlds fair travel. It proved to be the
most Improbable year for long time.
The recent conference Of managers of
the principal lines discussed the point
unoflicially, but the managers were al.
most unanimous in opposing further
advance.
The agents recognize that the bulk of
American summer travel comprises
clergymen, schoolteachers and others
having moderate salaries and long va
cations. A heavier tax would keep
them at home. It is further argued that
these classes rather profit than suffer by
the hard times, 80 it is expected that
travel this year will be unusually large
