MECHANICAL FILTRATION.

According TO the Engineering Record
the unfortunate lack OF data from wholly
disinterested sources as to the efficiency
OF mechanical filtration as means OF
purifying water seems likely TO be reme-
died by the proposed tests at Louisville,
KY Mr.. CHARLES HERMANY, M. Am.
Soc. c. F., is chief engineer OF the Louis
vile Water Company, and Mr.. GEORGE
W. FULLER, late OF Lawrence Mass, is
the company during these tests. The ex-
perIments will be under all the conditions
OF actual practice, so far as we are in
formed. Two OF the manufacturers OF
mechanical filters have already erected
plants with daily capacities OF 80, 600 gall
Ions, and we infer that other companies
will enter the competition. The popula-
tion OF Louisville in 1890 was 161, 129, and
the average daily water consumption in
1893 was 13, 400, 900 gallons. Water is
pumped from the Ohio River, which car
ries large amount OF matter in suspen-
sion. This matter the filters will be
called upon to remove, together with
such bacterial life and food as the water
way contain. Hence an opportunity will
be given Mr.. FULLER to study mechanical
filtration in various aspects. an opportu-
nifty which those who have watched his
work in water and sewego publication
at Lawrence know will be improved to the
utmost.
The Engineering Record further en-
dorses public sentiment here in Provi-
dence when 1t remarks that 60 we trust that
the details OF these experiments viii not

THE NEWS forced that sentiment at the
time the council allowed that it couldn't
afford to print report that would have
been of inestimsble value to every munic-
ipality in the land-the result OF Mr.. WEs-
TONS investigations.

Half n Loaf for Ireland.
Boston Advertiser.

The convention OF Irish. Americans in Chi
cago IL called at time when the outlook for
home rule, as the phrase IL understood by
the Liberals and Radicals in the United King
dom, Is decidedly depressing to the advocate
of Irish self. government. To certain ex-
tent, indeed, the general opinion OF the public
is that home rule IL dead for several years TO
come; and for that very reason, the attitude
OF tho Irish Americans who have assembled
in the Chicago convention is likely 10 be
watched with interest by the students OF con-
temporaneous history,
To any Irishman, however, who Is not In
sistent In his demands for home rule as
Gladstone understands the term, the case is
not altogether so dark az 10 would appear TO a
more radical home ruler. At least, in the
short session of parliament which followed
the last British election, there was noticeable
among the Unionist and Conservative leader
a marked tendency or disposition 10 deal in a
friendly and courteous manner with the
claims OF the Irish members IL in almost

pect that an Irish parliament independent of
the imperial parliament will be brought int
existence, thero u every outlook that, as re-
CARDS merely the prosperity OF the island, the
Unionists and Conservatives are prepared TO
enact some deserving legislation.

WHO'LL CARE FOR THEM!

JOHN LAWN and HIS family have, un.
I'll yesterday, lived in a miserable hovel
in olneyville-S2 Oak street.
Tuesday night LAWN came home and
kicked his wife half to death.
LAWN is now in jail. Mrs. LAWN is
in the hospital.
-Four little children, the youngest a
babe OF ~ months. the oldest years OF
age, were left in the hovel on Oak street
There was neither ioos.nor fuel in the
hovel and only 16 cents in money.
A former acquaintance OF the LAWNS
took the four destitute children to her
house. But she Is poor, too. Her place
of residence is almost as wretched a.
that OF the LAWNS. 1t is 81 Huntington
avenue.
We do not know OF any society or char
liable organization that makes q business
to look after cases OF this nature, although
we believe that several societies do furnish
care and relief as part OF their other
functions.
These children are not orphans, they
have not suffered cruelty. Bnt they are
left in wretehedness with no one to care
for them.

the spirit Of her own personality until ev. y
one on the stage and in the audience is a

the performance and while the fun Is at its

quest OF California many of the Spaniards

American occupation tharo were no BANKS In
California and the Spaniards kept their gold
and silver IN Jars, which were either buried
on the premises or walled up in the adobe
houses. The money of the missions was kept
I'm the same manner. Each mission had a
treasure room, and this fact was well known
by bandlts, 80 the cunning padres carved
holes IN the thick walls and hermetically
benled up the treasures In them.
When the missions were secularized by the
Mexican Government the priests had no
chance to carry away their treasure, and
rather than inform the Government officials
they perhaps let 10 remain hidden. This is the
common belief OF both Mexicans and Ameri
cans, ana has led 10 great deal OF burrowing

Another theory that there must be lots OF
buried gold in California rs based on the belief
that in the early mining days the minors fre-
quently buried their money until such time
as they could return 10 the States Many Of
them were killed. and the secret of the hiding
place of their gold died with them. There
certainly was great deal OF buried gold in
California besides that in the mines In a crude

THE EPwORTH LEAGUE.

The development of that interesting re-
ligious Society, the Epworth League, as
shown at the convention now In progress
at st. Johnsbury, VT. indicates the strong
interest maintained in the League
throughout the Methodist Church and
suggests commendable efficiency in work
and methods
According to the report of Secretary
MERRITT c. BEALE OF the League, the
mem mbership must now exceed 40, 200 di-
vided among 7S5 senior chapters recorded
and, not unlikely, there may be half q
hundred more chapters that have failed
to report. The secretary states further
that within the territory OF the Epworths
are 80 societies of Christian Endeavor,
some of which are not yet affiliated with
the Epworth League, though several
Christian Endeavor societies have this
year become chapters Of the League. So

Mrs. Annie e. Smiley of Ipswich, Mass,
who has record of 42o Junior Chapters,
