glory of the punishment of this in

Thus far December has been mild
and muddy with every indication of an
open winter. But not knowing "what
day may bring forth, the better and
surer way is to prepare for an intense.
ly severe winter. One thing do

had no cold days mixed in with it,
and so it will be again.
Late in the fall some newspaper
correspondents intimated from the
appearance of the weather that many
farmers would haul in corn in the
snow with sleds. But all the farmers
had an excellent season for gathering
that crop. True, there was some snow.

PUMPS A BOON TO THE POOR.
Womnn's Christian Temperance Union
Asked TO Prevent Their Removal.

Womnn's Christian Temperance Union
Asked to Prevent Their Removal.
The Chaplin auxiliary of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of this city held
its usual semi-monthly meeting last evening
in the Central Union Mission building.
Owing TO the absence of the president. Mrs.
NJ. E. Cohen, who is spending a few weeks
and conducting meetings at Ocean Grove, n.
j., the meeting was in charge of Mrs. La
Fetra, who gave a Bible talk on the subjects
of courage and faith.
There was large attendance and the sub
iect OF the removal Of the town pumps by the
Commissioners came up for discussion. The
ladies of the Chaplin auxiliary are very much
opposed to the action of the Commissioners
in this matter, and did not fail to SO express
themselves. The auxiliary has received,
through its president, Mrs. Cohen. and Mrs.
La Fetra a large number of letters from per-
sons interested in the condition of the poor,
asking the union to use its influence to pre-
vent the removal OF any more of the pumps.
1T is said that the pumps are being re-
moved under the pretext that the water is i'm
pure" said Mrs. La Fetra. while it is not
known that 1t is impure, as no chemical
analysis OF it has been made to my knowl-
edge. The Potomac water is not always clear
anu pure itsoii, anu tue ahouut vi eNii III
any done by the slight impurity of the pump
water is far more than counterbalsnced by
the suffering occasioned to poor people who
are not able to buy ice in the summer time.
1.-The cool water of the pumps is a boon TO
these poor people in the summer and no dis
ease or injury can be pointed to rs having
been caused by the water from the pumps.
The health officer of the District should have
the water analyzed and also that Of the Po-
tomac at some seasons before The former is
condemned as impure simply for the purpose
OF having the pumps removed"
Many laiies spoke on the question. and it
was suggested that the newspapers be asked
to help them in their efforts to retain the boon
of the cool pump water for the poor. Mrs. NJ.
E. Griffith will conduct the meeting on Wednes-
day evening next, and Mrs. La Fetra will
have charge of those of Chaplin auxiliary un-
til Mrs Cohen returns 10 the city.
