TOWN IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.
E~Dterprising Citizens Band Together For
the Community's Benefit.

E~nterprising Citizens Band Together For
the Community's Benefit.
Sea Cliff, N. Y, has set an example
that may be followed in our own com-
munity with beneficial results. A vii
lage improvement society has been or
ganized that has for its purpose the i'm
provement of the village, as its name
indicates. Membership fee is 25 cents
and monthly dues 10 cents. It is con
trolled by a board of nine managers.
The board has appointed 10 standing
committees for the year, consisting of
three members each, whose duties will
cover a wide range of village matters,
including those of legislation, ordi-
nanoes, taxation, appropriations, assess
ments, sewerage, cutters, bridges, side
walks, highways, lamps and lighting,
schools, water, fire department, nui-
sances, sanitary, police, improvement,
parks, trees, etc.
AS an outgrowth of this organization
a free library and public reading room
have been established. A handsome suit
of rooms, consisting Of a large library
and reading room, a ladies' parlor and
two recreation rooms, has been secured
in the central part of the village.
A committee of ten has been appoint
ed by the improvement association to
provide ways and means for the support
of the library, to solicit subscriptions.
etc.
Besides the advantages of a free read
ing room the young men Of the vii
lage have been offered an excellent op-
p~ortunity for free instruction in free
hand and perspective drawing,
The improvement association has also
been the means of starting an electric
light company in the village. the cap
ital stock of which, $40, 900. is nearly
all subscribed.
The association has also begun to agi-
tate the matter Of sewerage for the vii
lage. A sewerage committee has been
appointed which Is made upof members
Of the association. with a joint commit
tee from the village board.

Transmitted Through Water and EmAna-
tions From Cesspools and Sewers.
The Investigations Of the transmits
sion of typhoid fever by air made by DR..
Lioard Of Beziers have attracted consid-
cradle attention. His plan Of expert
menting was to have patients suffering
from this disease breathe through tubes
into water that had first been sterilized.
Specimens Of water thus treated were
frequently found to yield the baoilli an
der cultivation. and though the baoilli
were not always found this was regard
ed as only in keeping with the fact that
the most eminent psychologists fail to
find them under conditions strongly
suggestive Of their presence. DR.. Lii
cards results were, however, sufficient
ly uniform to warrant IN inference that
the expired breath of typhoid patients,
like that from those having typhus, may
serve as a channel for fever infection.
DR.. Licard remarks that. though the vast
majority of typhoid infections have their
origin In a contaminated water supply,
every observer has been puzzled more or
less by cases Of the disease which have
arisen apart from any known inculpa-
ton Of the drinking warehouses which,
though of obscure origin, may be con-
sidered to arise from two causes whose
baoillar contact is atmospheric, not sim
ply by means Of the breath of the siok,
but also by emanations from sewers.

phoid objections.

Cleveland is the man OF all others
who is not disquieted by culminat.
ing events. He knows that his alb.
solute retirement from the affairs
OF National government is only a
question of a few months, and that
this retirement is in accordance
with the universal wish of the
American people. The greatest
service that he has rendered the
country is his positive prevention
OF a Democratic administration for
years to come. His svoirdupoise
increases. He is a heavyweight on
his party.

ifest duty, and their action in this
matter OF filibustering in Cuba is a
case in point. They do seem, how
ever, to have awakened to the need
of action and their orders to the
collectors and the revenue officers

Mexico are to the point. In the
future it will not be safe to enlist
men for war against Spain in the

The late rains, not 80 noticeable
here as farther north, have put out
many of the destructive prairie
fires and revived the hopes OF the
farmers in the watered regions.
But it is certain that these rains
came too late to save crops in many
sections, but others will be put in
to the ground and with later rains
save the need OF appeal for help in
some localities. Already the dis
tress cry comes from some sections
of Kansas and the Oklohoma ter
ritory. That region is in a bad
way and Texas will send relief this
year out of her great abundance.
That cry for help will not be heard
in this southwest this season, and
for this the state returns coolies Of
thanks.

The late rise in the Brazos river
has secured out the channel at the
mouth so that the water between
the Velasco jetties is deeper than
ever known. Work Is to be COM
menced at once on the jetties to be
carried to completion, in which
case the permanency of at leas
twenty feet Of water on the bar
at low tide Is assured. That sea
port would flourish II it only had
railroad connections. The San An.
tonic and Gulf road shonld have
been near enough to Velasco by
this time to hear the wistle of its
iron horse in the valley OF the
Brazos, but it is q long shot short
Of that now.

The state of Texas owes a debt Of
gratitude to the people OF McLen-
nan county for their prompt repu-
diation OF the attempt to saddle
another prohibition campaign on
the state. Had the attempt to
make McLennan county the sport
OF sumptuary legislation succeeded
the next move would have been for
state campaign against the forces
OF personal liberty. Once is enough

Manitoba takes the ground that
the national education is non-sec-
tartan, and absolutely refuses to
accede to the demand Of the Do
minion ministry for the establish
ment Of separate schools. There is
good horse sense in this conclusion
of the great Northwest. 1t marks
the era of the separation Of the
state from the church in all essen

against their divorce.

The return OF prosperity to this
country, incident almost entirely
to natural causes and the conf

it is the policy and wisdom OF the
Republican leaders to let these con-
ditions fully manifest themselves
besore taking positive ground for

Some OF these days the Cuban

Marti is dead and bury him. He
has already had more resurrections

low him.
There is no more mischievous
member Of society than the de-
linqut 1t tax payer. He is at the
bottom Of all the city's discredit
and costs the administration more
than his share of annoyance.
There is as yet no certainty of
what this country will do in
Cuban matters, but Grover goes
fishing all the same. He is too
philosophical to allow anything to
interfere with his bait.
The report is current that the
sewer constructors are waiting for
home made brick, but what are the
home made brickmakers waiting
for? Hurry up the construction or

There Is no distrusting the wis
