Schemes For Purifying River water.


AS the result Of competition
opened in 1'94, the city of Paris
received 14S schemes for purify
ing river water for drinking.
Most of these were wild or
amateurish, but 20 were retained
for further nsider ,tion, I of
these being bss d on the action. Of
heat. II on mechanical treatment
or filtration. 6 on chemicil treat
ment, and 7 providing for mixed
treatment Experiments by II
comm ssion have shown that the
methods depending on heat are
too costly, the mechanical systems
require frequent cleaning, and
the chemical methods are i'm
practicable. On the whole a
mixed treatment, the addition of
chemicals being followed by fiItra-
ton, has been recommended.
Such process gave nearly 1000
gallons per day fr II square feet
OF sand fl ter, the org iIc matter
being reduced 30 per cent. and
the bacteria SO II per cent, but
the working was not always
regular.

BRITISH OPINION.

Lord Rosebery's resignation of
the leadership of the Liberal
party, announced in the Coptic's
advices, is significant of the feel.
ing in England on the Armenian
question. Before Mr.. Gladstone's
great speech at Liverpool was de-
livered and published broadcast,
Lord Rosebery had been almost
ostentatiously expressing his
opinion that Great Britain could
not, in any case, act alone in
means for compelling the Sultan
to put stop to the Armenian
atrocities. Mr.. Gladstone, both
in his Liverpool speech and in
note to the press, advocated an
immediate suspension of diploma
tic relations with Turkey, besides
plainly intimating that the nation
should not shrink even from war
If that alternative was forced up
on it as a consequence of any iso-
lated British action to put an end
to the unspeakable horrors of the
situation. There has been a res
ponse of public opinion to the
sentiments enunciated by the
grand old man, and to similar
oaes uttered by an influential por-
ton of the press, which has con-
WINGED Lord Rosebery that he did
not realize the depth of national
spirit in the matter. 1t was ex-
pected that the Government
would be embarrassed by the
agitation for intervention on be-
half of the Armenians, but it
is an unusually striking event
uality for the leader of the Oppo-
sition to be put in the same box
with the Government on a great
public question. The resignation
Of Lord Rosebery as the Liberal
leader, on account of his finding
he does not truly represent his
party in insisting upon British
inaction without continental sup
port, yields all the more emphatic
an inference from the fact that his
party while in power was criti-
cised by the Conservatives in
nothing more severely than for
its alleged "peace at any price"
policy in international affairs.
All the outside world will be JUS
titled in assuming that, when the
Liberals of Great Britain repudi-
ate the leadership of a man who
advocates peace at any price, the
nation as a whole must be face
to face with question so serious
In its estimation as to make war

1t Hangs Threateningly Over
the North Cosmopolitan
Schoolyard.
QUESTIONABLE CONTRACT WORK
Miss Mackenzie Says 1t Was Begun
Leisurely, but Was Ended in
Rush.

The protruding and cracked surface of
the sustaining wall at the North Cosmo-
politan School building hangs over the
children at play like a shadow OF death.
To the right of the flight of stairs leading
from the yard up 10 the sidewalk the wall
front bends over considerably from the
weight of the earth behind it, and large
seams have started, splitting the concrete
an inch or more.
Some months ago the yard was bitumin-
lied, but the bitumen has sunk down in
several places ranging in depth from six
inches to two feet. Around the foot OF the
stairs this feature is most noticeable,
where there exists a cavity SO deep that a
small-szed boy would have no difficulty IN
crawling out.
Miss Margaret Mackenzie, principal OF
the school, said last evening:
''The wall was certainly very poorly con-
structed and has caused me great deal
of anxiety of late. l noticed that cracks
began to appear in the wall along the
girls side about two months ago, but
these have not increased very much
in size. The wall, however, is low
there and not so much danger
would exist anyway. But on the boys

And all this went on in Rome with the knowl-
edge ana approval, sometimes at the pressing
instance, OF the Emperors at Constantin
Instead OF burthening your memories with
many facts in justification of the statements
have made let me place before your minds two
scenes in portrayal of the age we are reviewing.
One OF these scenes is the meeting of Attiia
and rope Leo; the other is ST. Gregory the
Great preaching the funeral grafton of the
fallen city of Rome. 1t was about the
year 450. Breathing double vengeance against
Rome because of his defeat the preceding wear
at the Battle of the Nations in France, Attila,
the Scourge OF God was leading his Huns to-
ward the Eternal City. Atttla was terrible
man-terr1ble in appearance and terrible in
his work OF destruction-for ne had trampled
the world under his feet; but now he was to
encounter new foe, the like of whom he had
never seen before. St. Leo, the Pope with only
two attendants, went forth fearlessly from
Rome TO meet Attila, the vicar of God to meet
the self-styled Scourge of God. Wonderful to
relate, the King OF the Huns quietly retraced
his steps and left Italy forever.
The other scene is Pope st. Gregory about
the year 500, standing aloft over the far-lyinp
ruins of Rome and preaching the funeral ora
ton OF the. empire in the west. 81: we look
mourning; if we listen we hear but groans on
all sides. The towns are destroyed, the castles
are overturned, the fields are wasted, the
longer any inhabitants in the country and
scarcely any in the towns; yet still the rem
nant OF the human race is being struck down
daily and without 1ntermission. Some are
dragged into captivity, some perish on the
scaffold, others are massacred. Such is the
spectacle our eyes are forced to look upon
Rome herseii, the queen OF the world, we see
all that remains OF her. She is overwhelmed
under manifold and immense woes by the
desolatlon OF her citizens, the marks of the
raYages OF ner enemies and the abundance of
her ruins. Where is the Senate? Where is the

sovereignty. But that this spurious donation
or Constantine had nothing to do with the
sovereignty OF the Pope is evident to any one
familiar with the series of complicated events
which issued in the creation OF the temporal
power. In effect the deed was not forged until
the Pope had ALREADY been king: the femnoral
power had existed before the deed existed. and
the Popes never claimed the wide temporal
jurisdiction over Western Europe with
which that instrument would have invested
them.
The temporal sovereignty OF the Pope lasted
from $50 TO 1S7o-more than 1000 years. In
1860 the Italian Government seized on the
outlying provinces of the patrimony of ST.
Peter and annexed them to the kingdom of
Italy In 1870 they completed the annexa-
Italy and the scepter from the hand of the
Pope.
Now 1t is we'll known that the Pope does not
acq uiesce in the loss OF the temporal power. it
is not that the kingly crown has any charms
for him. If the possession of the temporal
power were personal consideration and moth
ing more, q personal honor and distinction,
the Pope no doubt would rejoice to be released
from It's preoccupations and responsibilities
In order to give his time and energies undi-
ylded, to the care of all the churches But the
Pope knows well that it is not personal mat
ter. but one that involves the independence of
his office, and the right, divinely given of free
Children. Indeed, paradoxical though it be-
the temporal power involves the principle of
the separation OF church and state and the lib
erty OF the religious and civil authorities in
their respective spheres. For surely IL eyails
nothing to assert and proclaim the supremacy
OF the state in the civil domain, and the SUI
premacy OF the church in the religious domain,
II the state can effectuglly hinder the iegiti-
mate action of the church, or the church the
legitimate action of the state. Hence the man
who said, Church and state must be united
In Rome in order that they may be separated

man OF large philosophic mind. But do not
misunderstood him. When we assert the ne

''In the first place | do not think that
the earth drawn into the yard to fill it to
it's present level was tamped down nearly
enough. This is the cause of the large
holes which appear in the bituminous-
rock floor.
"When the large crack appeared in the
susta lining wall the architect, Mr.. Ravens,
took out some of the concrete, and finding
it below the standard stopped further
work on the grounds.
Because of this the sidewalk has never
been laid, as the City considered such
labor useless, owing to the worthless con-
dition of the wall.
''Then again, l have strong protest to
make regarding the manner in which the
boys rooms, which extend under the side
walk, were built. The men who laid the
bricks there were entirely too economical
with mortar. And l have had some
anxiety as to whether these rooms were
sufficiently strong and substantial.

The contest of William H. Carlson for

Judgment OF the lower court, which denied
the claims of Carlson.

turns. On Novem Der 10 the result of the
canvass was entered and on December %
the complaint against Burt's election was
filed.
The complaint was filed forty-six days
after the board proceeded with the can
vass. The question then arose whether
the day upon which the result of the can
vass was announced or the day upon
which the returns were made was the
proper time from which TO count the
statutory forty days in which contest is
allowed to be filed. The Supreme Court
holds that the return day OF an election

The report of the committee on prisons
contained some statements which the
mem bers of the federation earnestly ex-
horted the press representatives not to
publish for fear of prematurely antagoniz-
ing the police. The statements were rela-
tive to the crowding of some boys into the
cells occupied by women. In the course
of the discussion Mrs. Bates said she
thought they treated dogs more kindly at
the City Hall than they did human be-
ings, for a stray dog of hers had received
every Kindness and attention from the

Mrs Eyster unrolled about four feet of
manuscript, which she said she had re-
ceived from a member of the Civic Fedora
ton, and would like to present it in the

THAT comes under the head of COM
municatons," said Mrs. French.
"Oh! No. 1t was q communication
made to me, personal one, and | prefer
to present it in the form of o resolution. "
Having gained her point, the treasurer OF
the federation read resolutions ENDORSING
Philip and Mrs. Weaver, and urging that
they be retained at the Almshouse. "Mrs.
Weaver is one of the highest opponents OF
womanhood, she is on the same mental
and moral plane with ourselves, and she
has cut down the expenses in the living at
the Almshouse. The old people out there
cost the county less than they used to do, y
concluded Mrs. Eyster.
Mrs. French said: "It is our place to

that great many complaints have been
handed in OF Mr.. and Mrs. Weaver, and

house. these reports have not seemed very
favorable 10 me. Do we know enough
about the matter to take sides?'
Some of the speakers who followed Mrs.
French were sure they knew enough to
take sides, others deprecated any action
before investigating. Mrs. oysters reso-
luton was finally referred to the COM
