Other Games,

What kind of a break is Sage at
tempting to make in putting Cantil-
lion in to pitch and then getting
hammered all over the field and
making an exhibition of himself, as
he did yesterday at st. Joseph.
Such a species of ball playing is dis
graceful, and ought to be stopped in
the interests of the game. If Sage
has any pitchers who are not in con-
dition to perform their duties he
should supplant them with men who
can. The least said about yesterdays
game. however, the better, perhaps.

RIVER POLLUTION.
The Council Committee Proposes to
Stop the Trouble.

Four years ago q committee was
appointed by both branches of the City
Government to investigate the causes OF
the pollution Of the Woonasquatucket and
Moshsssuck rivers. At that time the
stencil from the rivers was almost un-
bearable and when in unison the
streams formed the Providence river the
combined stencil was overpowering. This
had been going on for years, growing
worse with each successive season, until
1t was torture almost to be compelled to
frequent the central portion OF the city.
odors, a combination OF every
thing sickening and disgusting,
permeated the business part OF the city,
invading shops and offices with thorough
impartiality: The committee appointed
May ~, isso, dienined by the title
'committee on manufacturers waste"
held 9 meeting for organization and then
Investigated. The member found that
the odors resulted from the pollution
Of the waters by the waste products from
the numerous mile along the river banks
and reported briefly on progress to the
Common Council. This report was made
January 10, 1891, and stated that "the COM
the principal sources OF defilemeEt
of the waters and the methods of utilix-
ing or disposing OF such defiling matter,
and that as soon as the work OF investiga-
tion was completed the report would be
made In detail to the Council" This was
three years ago and with the exception of
q resolution appropriating $500 for the
committee nothing more has been heard
from it, although at times there have
been slight spssms of life.
Councilman Vose, chairman of the COM
mittee since its organization, stated
yesterday that full report was to be made
In the near future He aaid that 4 he com-
mittee's efforts and researches had
been deep and thorough. The wording
Of the report was not IS yet decided upon
and he could give no idea as to
the recommendation which would
cept that immediate action would be
urged m the suppressing Of the nuisance.
Mr.. Vose stated IN explanation of the
methods OF doing away with the defiling OF
the waters, that q system was in operation
in several of the large mills
in this vicinity, by which the waste
products such as grease and filth OF all
kinds Is precipitated and separated from
the waters before leaving the mills.
But, while the committee Is carefully
considering the pros and cons, and the
exact phraseology Of its report, the odor-
iferous river Is moving on, carrying
through the center of the city, its killing
vapors, and beneath the broiling rays OF
the July sun, throwing of its overpower-
ing stencil to the utter discomfort OF peo-
pie and the great danger to health and
good nature.
