it was a fitting act to make a pilgrim

Frenchman dear to the hearts of Amer

find anyone to enlighten me as to the
spot, but after repeated inquiry. ascer-

ated in old Paris, within the grounds of
a convent that the ancestors of Lafay-
cite founded, and where repose the re-
mains of many of the French nobility.
The first thing that attracted my atten-
ton in connection with the hero's tomb
was that above it f1oated a silken flag
bearing the Stars and Stripes. 1t seems

pany sets forth that in the event of their
temporary supply. proving inadequate
they would keep the Belleville works in
order so that the Passaic River might
be drawn upon at a time when the water
is in it's best condition." and not in
a state that would c-ontaminate the tenn
porary supply procured from the New
ark mains.
The Mayor and other officials came to
the conclusion that a temporary sup
ply of suficiency is an impossibility.
The plan of the Jersey City Company
is regarded as an excellent one, for the
reason that only lake and mountain wa
ter is to be supplied. Not a drop of
river water is taken. Mr.. Belden was
asked why there was an increase in the
price of the plant. He explained that
the increase in the cost of steel pipe and
labor made the cost more, and finally
mentioned that by increasing the water
shed from forty-three miles to sixty-ive
miles. it was necessary to acquire a
silk mill works at Port Dram. The in
crease IN the water shed is about so per
cent. while the increased cost not more
han ten per cent.
The plan is regarded as an excellent
one in every particular. Next Wednes-
day morning at ten O'Clock, the East
Jersey Water Company will be granted
a hearing. At two O'Clock the same day
the Hudson and Rockaway Company
will be granted a hearing.

Lactated Food Babies Stand Sum-
mer Heat the Best.

There are many anxious mothers now
warm weather is here.
And they have every reason for being
alarmed. The hot, vertical sun beats
down mercilessly on the little ones; re-
duces their strength, robs them of high
spirits, spells their appetite and loosens
their slender hold on life, unless extra
ordinary care is taken that their food
is free from impurities and sufficiently
nourishing n strengthening.
In thousands of cases where nursing,
protracted into warm weather, has re-
duced the vitality and richness of the
breast milk, babies that show signs OF
fre~tfulness and often collie, become again
fat and sturdy when put on a diet OF
lactated food. 1t is undoubtedly r
that babies that have the advantage OF
their mothers milk seem to stand the
heat of summer best, providing the nat
ural food agrees with them. But LEI
hot weather brings Town the strength
of both mother and child there is al
ways danger of the severe bowel affec-
lions which come on SO suddenly and are
so often fatal. !,
Practiced physicians prescribe lactated
food to be kept always on hand and
used at once on the first indication of
looseness or loss of strength, or If baby
is evidently not thriving on its present
diet. Lactated food is the diet physi-
clans use in their own families.

STARTLING EVIDENCE EXPECTED
Experts Are Conducting the Analysis
In the PiteZel Murder Case.

TORONTO. Ont. July 10. 1S95.-Medi-
cal experts are making considerable
progress with the post norton EXAMINE
alton of the Pitezel children, and it is
probable that some startling evidence
may be discovered by analysis of the
contents of the intestines. The detec-
tives are actively pushing the investiga-
ticn. It is understood that Mrs. Pitezel
can recognize Alice by the teeth in the
upper set. She also says she would
know the hair of the children. The
only parts of the bodies besides the
teeth and hair which are at all pre-
sentable. are the hands, and these also
will be seen by Mrs. Pftezel, as there
are certain marks that may possibly aid
in the identification.
Assistant District Attorney Barlow of
Philadelphia. and Detective Barlow are
expected to be at the inquest tonight:
Other witnesses han Mrs. Pitezel will
be brought from the United States to
give evidence before the inquiry closes.
