New York, Oct. 94.-From Havana

DEATH IN THE WATER.
Chemical Analysis Shows the Water in Mineral
Point wells 70 be Bad.

Mr.. EDITOR / have long been OF
the opinion that the improvement
most needed by the city OF Mineral
Point was the establishment of a
water works and sewerage system; not
only because of the convenience OF
water supply to the citizens and the
greater safety to property in the case
of fire; but because REGARD FOR
THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY
demanded 1t. Probably no one thing
is the cause of more sickness than
impure water. That the well and
spring water used by many of our cit.
liens was impure | had no doubt
Indeed it seemed to me that any
thoughtful person could not fail to see
that the wells and springs must be
contaminated in place 50 long set
tied as this. Here for more than sixty
years the ground has been loaded and
soaked with excreta and sewerage.
What earthly reason is there to believe
that the water soaking into the soil
and absorbing quantities of this filth
will not run into the wells and
springs Yet plain as the subject
seems, there is nothing harder to do
than to convince the average man that
the water in IT'S we'll is impure. He
is willing TO admit the impurity of his
neighbours well, but he imagnes that
the interposition of some force OF
nature has kept his particular well
free from all pollution. / have some
facts 10 here disclose, however, that il
will puzzle the most sauguine to ex-
plain on any other hypothesis thar
that of the contamination of tnt
waters examined. You must know
that being always interested in things
pertaining to my native city, and
especially In the water supply ques
ton, have during the past year spent
considerable time in the study of san
itary analysis of drinking water, witt
the EXPRESS PURPOSE of examining
waters of this locality so that ! might
have some definite and iDdisputabl,
data on which TO base my future as
sertions. Since returning from Mad
ison | have examined a number Of
waters and give the results of part o.
them below. 1t is my purpose to ayolc
all technicalities as far as possible so
will mention only those things mos
striking and most easily explained

PARTS PER MILLION.

The nitrate nitrogen mentioned IN
the table results almost entirely from
the decomposition of ANIMAL MATTER.
BY reference to the table, you will SEE
that the waters containing the least
quantity has TWENTY-FIVE TIMES the
limit; while two of the wells showed
FORTY TIMES the limit
Natural waters in this part Of the
state contain only four parts of chic
rim. The waters examined vary from
six to sixty times the limit.
Now the only source of the extra
chlorin is from urine or the slops from
the house. Comment Is unnecessary.
The above figures ought to be
enough to convince anyone that our
well and spring waters are contami-
mated. In each case the sample was
carefully taken, and was from Il well
that il used by Il number of families
as source of drinking water. Be-
fore dropping this part of the subject,
let me endeayor To correct a popular
fallaey in regard to water. Most
people believe that water that is
clear, sparkling and tasteless must
be pure. No greater mistake could
be made, Many times the very fact
that d water il sparkling Is evidence
of its jmppfitB. The sparkle of water
is due 10 gas contained in 1t, and
many times this gas is result OF the
decomposition of organic matter. LII
fact there is no simple method Of de-
termining the purity Of water. 1t
can only be done by careful chemi-
egl analysis and a study Of the source,

such waters rs those mentioned in
the table. Diptheria, dysentery, di-
arrhoea, typhoid fever and allied dis
eases are often the result Of using
impure water, Typhoid especially

Discoveries of America.

-Four hundred and three yedfs ago
this week, Columbus sailed from Pa.
los, Spain, on what he supposed was
a voyage to the East Indies. Two
months later he expect6aly stumbled
upon ANEW world. Even then, how
ever, he supposed he bad reached
India, and the name Of Indians was
bestowed upon the aboriginal inhab-
itants. In August, 1858, the first At
lantic cable was landed on the coast
Of Newfoundland, and by placing the
Old and New Worlds in instantane-
Gus touch with each other, America
was virtually re-discovered.
The discovery of Columbus and his
successors was really of onlya small
strip of country along the seacoast,
and the greater America-the mid
eontinent--wasd discovered, improved
and developed by the building Of
railroads. One has only to ask him
self what wocld be the candition of
the great Central and Western states
if their only means of transportation
were the stagecoaeh and steamboat,
to comprehend what the great rail-
roads are. Fifteen millions of peo-
pie live in the eleven states pene-
trated by the lines of the Burlington
route. TO visit any of their promi-
nent cities and towns, buy your ticket

Can we find a supply of pure water

The Attitude of Southern Republicans.

Ex-senator Blanche X. Bruce, of
Mississippi, isleported rs saying that
the southern delegates TO the next
republican national convention will
come to the convention uncommitted
to amy presidential candidate, He
says this idea is being promulgated
in the south for the reason that here
toforc southern support las only pref
udiced the interest of the candidate
favored, for the reason that northern
delegates objected to having a can
didate forced upon the party 10y the
balance Of power from 4 section
which could not give the ticket Il
single electoral vote. Therefore the
southcrncls will not come to the next
convention with the name Of any
candidate ON their banners, and hope
thereby to exert more influence than
eyerbefote IN determining the choice
of a candidate without engendering
any Of the old preiudicee against
equal representation from the solid
democratic section. Speaking of the
future prospects 81 the party, Mr..
Bruce expressed the expectation that
the republicans will carry North
Carolina and Tennessee for the re-
publican presidential electors, with
some chance of Kentucky, if they
succeed there this fall Arkansas
republicans, he says, expect to carry
that state but do not hope for fair

Tin Plate in the United States.

Bradstreet's for July 20 gives some
figures as 20 tin plate manufacturing
in this country which shows that the
quantity produced is nearly as much
ms Is consumed, and that the United
States, which has been the best GUS
toner for Welsh tin plate, will soon
cease to import for home consump-
ton. The New York Post, pro-
nounced free trade organ, Is driven
to the admission that the Mckinley
tariff did start up the tin plate in-
dustry Of this country" Democratic
organs In 1892 insisted that there vas
not q tin plate factory in the United
States. When the Mckinley tariff
was passed there was not tin plate
factory in this country, In 1870 we
imported 600,000,0O0 pounds of tin
plate. Today we are producing al
most enough 70 supply the demand.
There are about fifty such factories
in The United States, forty of which
were established under the McKin-
ley law. 4 great point is gained
when SO strenuous free trade paper
admits that the Mckinley tariff did
start up these tin plate factories.
