Professor Iancastor's Utterances on Ill

will spread dismay among tho many poo

as atfording an almost perfect protection
against the presence of dOlctcrious organ
isms in water. They are now told that, so
far from being protection against BAG
teria the domestic filter IS breeding
ground of these pests. The speaker asserted
that nearly every filter he had examined
was the means, not Of stopping but Of
communicating them 10 the water. A FL
ter in use week became, he said, loaded
with bacteria, and he had found as many
as goo, 600 to the cubic centimeter,
Every domestic filter in which the Same
filtering material was used over and over
again should be boiled and sterilized every
"a hours. People who had not done this,
but had simply taken the trouble 10 filter
their water the last few years, had been
adding at least a hundred fold to the bae.
teria contained in it. All this is very pain
full news, the sole consolation given being
the fact that typhoid germs would not get
through the filters, because the ordinary
bacteria would kill them.
Happily for mankind, ono cannot but
reflect that, in spite Of the bacteria that

COleridge is always finding plausible rea-

the reader at once porceives that he is all

his Incidence. He dreams, when he is pub

the most businesslike way and almost per-

throwing away twice as much energy in

As George Eliot has justly remarked, "A
difference Of taste in jokes is great strain
upon the affections. This is particularly
true Of childrens jokes Children and
grown persons rarely have the same stand

fering boarding house not long since play
fully filled the sugar bowls with salt a
i.ioke" that was none the less effective be-
cause of its lack of novelty Another small
boy at another boarding place found much
pleasure in kicking such Of his fellow
boarders as no CHANGED to meet in the ele-
vator. OF course everybody rebelled about
1t and threatened to infict all sorts Of pun
ishment upon the little humorist.
But somehow none Of the punishments
was ever inflicted, and the kicking con-
tinued. The small boy distributed his
fayors impartlally-the shins of both
young and old, of men and of women,
were alike bruised by his energetic boot
soles. His parents mover seemed o. take
the slightest interest in the complaints and
anathemas concerning their offspring that
poured in upon them. Some Of the men
declared that some day they meant to kick
back, but when it came to the point they
never did. At length one Of the women
tried to reason" with the little boy.

Secretary Morton has a profound and

not compliment the secretary more to his

The divergence begins when we consider
not the immoral but rather tho delirium
reeking literature and art Of the present
day and do not overlook the eoncomitant
phenomena Of the social life.
No record has been preserved to show Us
that the decay of manners in Rome in
creased the rate Of drunkenness, insanity
and impulsive crimes, for we must dis
tinguish impulsive crimes from those
crimes which yield palpable advantage
to their perpetrators. Today this increased
ratio is observable in all ceuters Of civ

GALLUP AND TAGGART
HAVE ANOTHER CONSULTATION
OVER THE DISPUTED TAX.
Some Errors Discovered, but Mr.. Tag
CART still Confident that a Large
Amount Is Due.

Edward Gallup, executor under the will
of the estate of the late W. P. Gallup,
appeared with his attorneys, A. G. Harris
and E. K Elliott, before County Auditor
Taggart yesterday afternoon in the matter
of the alleged Indebtedness of the estate
to the county. County Attorney Brown and
John w. Kern represented the auditor.
Under protest the bonds, notes and obliga-
tions of the late W. P. Gallup were pro-
duced the executor asserting in a COM
plant filed that the auditor. in command
ing him to appear with the papers had
violated the Constitution of the United
States Objection made to the ex-
animation of the same on the ground that
the bonds notes and obligations were
private documents under the Constitution
and the auditor had no right or authority
to examine them or to treat them as in
struments of evidence. The auditor over
ruled the objection and the investigation
was gone into. The inventory filed by the
liam P. Gallup was worth $4o2, 62S. 26 when
he died. His property was scheduled as
$500. 56667 notes and loans, $144 222. 40; United
States government bonds, $4,000; cash
The purpose of Auditor Taggart in call
ing the executor was to ascertain in de-
tail the character of Mr. Callup's invest
ments. The auditor expects to show that
the Gallup estate owes the county be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in taxes that have
never been placed on the duplicates Ed
clares that his brother withheld prop
erty at any time from the assessor, and
SAYS that he will be able to produce the
treasurer's receipts for the amounts al
legged to be due. 1t was shown during the
examination yesterday that a number of
errors had been made in the inventory of
the personal estate of Mr.: Gallup. In one
instance several thousand dollars worth
of bonds belonging to the children of Ben
jamin Gallup, in the safe of the Meridian
National Bank, were placed by mistake on
the inventory. Another error was claimed
by the executor in reference to note for
81, 800 which had been reported as the as
sets of William P. Gallup. The executor
said the note was his property and had
been placed on the duplicate through a
clerical error. The investigation Will be
