HAVING SOME COLD WEATHER.
February Even More DiSlgreeabie
Than Last Month Was.
In point Of GOODNESS, February

In point of GOODNESS, February bids
fair to outrival January
The few days which have thus far been
experienced by Richmonders in this
month have been exceedingly raw and
dsagreeable ones. The weather has been
anything but summerish. and on all the
ponds around the city thin coats OF Ice
have been formed.
These bid fair to harden and thicken
to-day, and much fun Is probably in store
for the skaters. for the following telegram
was received from Washington b" Secre-
tary Dunlop. OF the Chamber Of Com
mcrce yesterday: "COld wave. Sixteen
to eighteen degrees Tuesday night Har-
rington."
The telegram preceded the wave but
a very short time. At o'clock yesterday
afternoon the thermometer, under the
hamy influence Of the sun. registered
fQrty-five degrees. 1t began 10 fan very
rapidly thereafter, and at midnight It
registered twenty-five degrees.
According 10 the telegram. the worst Is
yet to come and to-day will probably be
ii very cold one.

CHICAGO, February AN hope has
been abandoned that the object sighted
on South Chicago yesterday morning will
prove TO be the hull OF the lost steamship
Chicora. There was little interest shown
In South Chicago during the day. and
only few persons braysd the extremely
cold weather TO visit the lake shore
Those who did 30 were unable to see
anything on the lake which res smhled a
boat While further search was consid-
cred useless thie morning, It was desired
to leave no possible doubt. and tugs were
s.nt out on searching cruise. Tn. boats
went along the Indiana shore twelve miles
into the lake from Ninety-eighth street.
but were unable 10 find anything but ice
Many huge cakes were encountered, which
might easily be mistaken for boat from
the shore and Il was dOubtless one OF
these which aroused so much hope ana
excitement.

THE milk SUPPLY.
Examination of IL shows That II L.

Examination of IL shows That IL l.
Greatly in Need OF OmcinI Atten-
ton.
Editor Morning News: The recent COM
munication OF DR.. Drummer. our efficient
health officer. concerning the milk supply
OF our city deserves the serious consider
alton OF our city fathers. There is no class
OF foods that is so easily aduIterated and
palmed on upon an unsupported public
as milk, and there is no vehicle by which
disease is so easily and so widely spread
as the milk furnished to our large cities.
For several years have made many ex-
aminations OF the milk furnished to the
citizens OF this city. obtaining the sam
pies through the pupils OF my chemistry
classes in the high school, who repre-
sent perhaps every source of supply to the
city, and it is by no means an uncom-
mon thing to ind the milk very poor in
quality and not infrequently heavily
watered. The cream is nearly always de-
hcient. and the other nutritive elements
are rarely up to thestandard. But a mere
deficiency Of cream or the addition of a
little water would not be so bad if we
OF the cows and their environments. There
is abundant reason 10 believe that there
IS much carelessness upon this point in
many of the sources of our milk supply.
When We consider the dangers that Turk
IN milk, to say nothing of the actual dis
honesty sometimes practiced in its sale,
II will be seen that the people have a
right to demand that the milk offered for
sale In the city should come up to a rea-
sonable standard Of purity. People gen.
orally are easily imposed upon in the sale
OF milk, indeed, they have no practicable
way OF finding out whether they are i'm
posed upon or not and it is clearly the
duty of those charged with the health and
general welfare of our citizens TO guard
by legal enactment the sale of a food
about which all physicians are agreed
there is so much danger.
All the large cities of the country have
milk inspectors, whose duty it Is to exer-
else general supervision over their milk
supply. Those who have clean and san
itary diaries need fear no Inconvenience
from such an arrangement, but it would
force those who are furnishing poor or
adulterated milk to an unsuspecting pub
lie either to improve their methods or re-
tire from business. DR.. Drummer is right
in calling attention to this matter, and
