Fortunes In Old Bottles.

Out of the bottles that you ard
your neighbors throw away there
are four Or five dealers in Pittsburg
that divide up matter of $53, 600
in profits every year. The old bot
tie business is not thoroughly work
ed in this city, but in other large
cities of the country the profits are
many times greater. In this city the
collectors gather up something like
3,00O,0 900 bottles year. The profits
range from half cent to cents on
each bottle. According to the figures
given by dealer, the average profit
on each bottle is three-fourths of q
cent There is considerable money
invested in the business here, and
it gives employment to large num-
Der of men. Dealers here collect over
800 classes of bottles and have fix
cd price for each grade. Half of
them are sold here, and the remain
der are sent to New York and Brook
lyn, Hugh Quinn, in the latter city,
being the largest dealer. He has SO
warehouses there, where he receives
and stores bottles. es.-Pittsburg Post
Water as Fuel.
1t may well appear to be the ex-
Heme of paradox that the same ele-
ment which tempers the excess of
both solar and animal heat should
become source of supply for their
deficiency, and yet water in the form
of gas is now used for fuel. The
principle of its manufacture is to
pass steam over redhot coal, thereby
resolving it into two infammable
gases, hydrogen and carbonic oxide.
It is open, however, to drawbacks.
In the first place, it is absolutely in
odorous, so that its escape cannot
reveal itself to the sense of smell,
and, in the second place, one of its
component gases, carbonic oxide, is
an active and dangerous poison. It
thus requires great care in use as
well as in storage, and it seems hard
ly probable that for some time at
least it will come into general do
nestle use. But it produces less
smoke, is more powerful and burns
up less air than the ordinary coal
gas. 1t possesses. very little illumi-
pating power. Brooklyn Eagle.

A CITY Well Governed.

Allentown, Pa, claims to be the best
governed city in the country, and We
are not able to prove to the contrary
Allentown's population is SO. 900, and
her appropriations for 1895 foot up only
$95, 956, although the finance commit
tee of the city council asked for $751;
436. The total expenditures Of the city
for the past year have amounted to $780,
4S7. And Allentown has good streets
and sidewalks, excellent schools and is
we'll lighted and policed. It may be
doubted if any city in the country can
make a better showing than this. s.-NeH

A Triangular Case in Which One Man

SIOUX CRY, Ia., Sept. 18.-A most
unusual case is Oh trial in the district
court here. Fourteen months ago the
Sioux City National bank of this city
received a telegram signed Ed 7. Kear-
ney, cashier Of the Dakota County bank
of Jackson, Neb., asking for 81, 900. The
money was sent and it was several days
before it was learned that the telegraph
agent at jackson had himself sent the
message; that as he was also the agent
of the American Express company, the
money fell into his hands when it ar
rived, and that he had appropriated it
and fled the country. The Sioux City
National sues the Western Union. The
latter company claims the money was
lost through the express agent, and a
three -cornered fight is now on to deter

SANITARY CLEANLINESS.
rhe Health of the Community Endangered
by Accumulation Of Garbage.

by Accumulation of Garbage.
In a letter to the st. Louis Globe,
Democrat ". M. Chauvenet speaks Of
the history Of garbage disposal as fol-
lows:
There is no more important question
than that of garbage disposal confront
ing the world today. It is not only i'm
portant now, but always has been and
ever will be; hence strong and aggressive
measures should be adopted tc compel
the employment Of every modern and
| scientific safeguard known.
Sanitary cleanliness must begin with
this question, since every household is
producer, more or less, of garbage,
which, if not speedily and promptly re-
moved, will tend to produce and aggra-
vate disease and thereby endanger the
health Of such community. The subject
is one which cannot be cast aside with.
out serious contemplation. A condition
exists, and it must be fairly considered
and met, and it should be more clearly
understood by every proper minded and
public spirited citizen.
The history of garbage disposal i'll
large cities is closely connected with
periods of pestilence and ravaging fevers
from poisoned atmosphere. In Europe
in the middle ages refuse was dumped
in the street or on the premises, and no
provisions of a sanitary nature were
considered. The plaques which followed
in the wake of such unwise action de-
populated whole districts, and the gar
bage question remained unsolved. The
idea of casting all refuse into the river
and pure water streams would have
seemed to these people more barbarous
and was never entertained if thought of.
In modern times Berlin, VIII it's mar
row, crowded streets and still more mar.
row alleys, tried the garbage farm meth
cd. Trenches were dug and tho green
garbage buried in the ground to fer.
ment for many days while it polluted the
atmosphere. Tt was then ascertained
through that school of experience thas
the large per cent of grease in city gar
bage made it utterly unfit for the pur-
pose Of fertilizing, and that it ruined ths
land for production rather than benefit
ed it.
The sewage farm is little if any bet
ser, for the gradual accumulation of in.
soluble animal matter soon renders TIM
soil unproductive. For long time Lon.
don dumped her garbage in the Thames
until ships were frequently stranded in
the garbage reefs at the mouth of tho
river, and loud and long were the COM
plants of seafaring men, who were
compelled to pass at low tide this large
mass of decomposing substance. NexS
they resorted to baling the garbage by
first pressing out the water and then
sending it to the sea to be dumped into
the great ocean. This was soon followed
by complaints from along the Scottish
coasts, where reefs of disfguring and
garbage were driven ashore.
@ menace to the jewellers along the
coast London, with all her experiments
and experience, has by no means solved
the garbage question and is still foun-
dering about from one resource to an
other, each equally Objectionable. Re-

WASTE PAPER BOXES.
A Brooklyn Idea That Might Proftably Bs
Copied Elsewhere.


Several months ago the Brooklyn de-
partment of city works, at the instiga.
tion Of the Women S Health Protective
association, had a number of boxes
placed in the streets for the reception Of
waste papers and other rubbish of like
nature. The boxes were made Of wood
and painted green. About 1875 were
made, and they were put at points where
it was believed they would be most
useful
These boxes have proved SO useful
that it has been thought wise to go to
the expense Of providing 100 new ones
made Of galvanized iron, instead OF
wood. The wooden boxes, however, are
not to be split up into kindling wood
They are to be placed on private streets.
while the metal boxes are to be used on
the more travelled thoroughfares. The
latter are strongly made and ought to
last a good while. They are oval in
shape, with hood half covering the top.
In dimensions the new receptacles are
about the same as the old ones. They
are painted green and bear the name Of
the department. on both front and back
and the words, "Fcr Waste Paper" on
the hood.
The city works commissioner is much
pleased with the result of the effort to
educate the people of Brooklyn in habits
of cleanliness. The process must neces-
sarily be a slow one, but the quantity Of
paper thrown into these receptacles
shows that the people are realizing tc
considerable extent the desirability E
not litterirg the streets. Brooklyn Dor
rowed the idea of waste paper boxes
from Boston, and it's example has nov
been without good results, for an in
quiry recently reached the city works
department from New Orleans, where
something of the same sort is conten:.
plated. One Or two other places have
also asked for information regarding the
system adopted in Brooklyn.
The IDEA Of waste paper boxes is ons
that can be proftably adopted by any
city or town which desires to keep the
streets free from the litter of paper.
and few in our streets would do much
toward keeping the thoroughfares in
that neat condition which marks we'll
kept town.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 1.-THE indica-

stands accused of the murder of Mrs.

So far as can be learned from observa-

called into grand jury room, the i'm
preston prevails that the jury is cf the
opinion that not sufficient evidence to
convict could be adduced.
Realizing this, and not caring to pat
the county to the expense of a lengthy
trial, it is probable Mrs. Perkins will be
discharged from custody In the very
near future.

TIE MARY1AND democratic leaders

THE MARYLAND democratic leaders
met in conference the other day at
Baltimore and mapped out the plan of
campaign. The fighting will soon be-
gin all along the line. Senator Cor
man announced that he would take the
stump. He is an orator of no mean
power-clear, candid, torcible and ar
gumentatiye, not relying on rhetoric
and adjectives, but with enough of fire
and spirit to arouse crowd to high
pitch and hold his audience to the last.
Those who have heard him speak in
the q. S. Senate we'll know what he is
capable of. he will not start on the
defensive. After fighting and hodlng
the republicans at bay for over twenty
Years in Maryland with a splendid and
uavarying success, he now has the high
, flee of leading his party once more to
victory over the molly coalition OF
white republicans, mugwumps, boilers
and negroes. When German went to
the Senate he was comparatively little
known outside of his own State. He
did not aspire TO leadership in the
body. He bided his time and the
leadership of the Senate democrats
came to him by law of natural
gravitatlon. He proved himself equal
to this difficult and delicate trust. He
was one of the most effective opponents
of the Mckinley bill. He led and man
aged the fight against the infamous
Force bill. That bill was barely de-
feated. Without Germans mastery
leadership and consummate STRAIT
egy that "damnable BILL" as Mr.. Teller
called it, would have gone on the stat
ute book. The South would have been
driven to the point of submission or the
dire alternative of revolutionary resist
a lce. The consequences of either would
have been appalling. With such O
magnificent record as this, and We do
not tell half of it, what shall be said OF
the ingrates who defame and SANDER
this grand defender of constitutional
liberty? What pitiful excuse for
holting democratic ticket and voting
with the republicans to allege that the
democratic nominations in Maryland
are favored by the man who
helped to save Maryland and
sll the Southern States from the
awful tyranny of the republican Force
bill! Who has rendered higher and
better service than German? Which
one of his assailants and slanderers can
match his record of brilliant and effect
i've service?
