RIVER AS SEWAGE OUTLET.
Health Officer Getting Opinions in
Regard to 1t.

Hegard to 1t.
Health Officer LeHardy recently adj
dressed a circular letter to the health Off
GERS, mayors and chairmen of boards of
health of various cities, throughout the
country, asking their experience in the dis
posal of sewage. -
After stating the intention of the city to
establish a separate system of house drain
age and the difference in opinion on the
question of dlscharging the sewage direct
ly into the river the health officer said
THAT we may have all the light upon this
important matter / take the liberty of ask
ing you to give us the experience of your
city, together with your opinion and the
reasons therefor. Savannah lies on the
32-degree latitude north and has but a few
days freezing weather; never enough to
freeze the surface of her river. She has
a frontage of wharves of about six miles
on the south side of this stream. The
water is fresh and may have TO be used
some day for culinary purposes. 1t is
subject to tides twice a day. The tide
rises six to eight feet with great rapidity
and backs the water fully six miles above
the city,"
Charles V. Chaplin, superintendent of
health of Providence, r. l., has made the
following reply:
Il should judge that your topography
. was very much like ours as we have a IT,
dial river flowing through the central part
of our city. Previous to 1875 it was clean
and frequented by fish. About that time
we began to discharge sewage into it. 1t
soon became very foul and now in the
summer time the odor along the wharves
is almost unbearable. 1t frequently pro-
duces emesis in those not used to it, The
white paint on vessel is turned black in
a few hours. The water fairly bubbles
with sulphurated hydrogen. The nuisance
Is SO great that the city has expended mil
lions in constructing a plant to carry the
sewage down the bay and purifying it be-
fore discharging. This is not yet quite com
plete. However, no epidemic or increase
of disease has been traced to this cause
Whether such conditions might be more
dangerous in the region of yellow fever
you know much better than I. 1t certain
ly would be criminal to discharge your
sewage into the river if there is chance
that it will ever be used for culinary pur-
poses"

TOURIST TRAVEL COMING.
The Coming Winter Expected to he
an Unusual One.

Col. B. w. Wrenn, passenger traffic man.
ager of the Plant system, arrived in Sa-
vannah yesterday after an absence of some
time in New York where he has been di-
recting his attention to the passenger bus
mess on the Plant line of steamers plying
between Boston and Halifax. He is now
at his headquarters and received a hearty
welcome from railroad officials upon his
return.
In connection with his stay in the east,
Col. Wrenn reports that he was especially
impressed with the expressions of eastern
people with reference to the quarantine
regulations in the south during
the prevalence of yellow fever.
The prompt and judicious action
he said has been the cause of much
praise and favorable comment. When
the yellow fever started up in the south,
the eyes of northern people were upon the
steps taken by the authorities, to prevent
its spread. The success of the quarantine
has been the topic of much favorable com
ment in New York. Especially is this so,
Col. Wrenn says, among railroad officials,
who have naturally been in position to
watch matters.
Tourists would be coming south at
once, were it not for the quarantine re-
strictions,' said Col. Wrenn." MY
reason for this conclusion is the great
number of inquiries as to what incon-
veniences would be met from quarantine.
There never has been great number of
inquiries made to the passenger depart
ment by prospective winter tourists to the
south than there has been for the last
thirty days"
Winter schedules have been arranged
for the FLORIDA Special" which, 1t Is
said, will be one of the finest equipped
trains ever run between New York and
Tampa. The coaches will be richly up
holstered and the conveniences will be far
superior to those OF previous seasons. The
train is scheduled to make forty-fve miles
per hour on the trip 1t will leave New
York at 1890 o'clock noon and arrive in
Savannah at 9:06 clock the next morning.
It will arrive In Jacksonville at 1:10 .. M,
st. Augustine at 2:20 p. M, and will reach
Tampa at 7:45 p. m. Returning, 1t will
leave Tampa at $40 p. m, leave Savannah
at TBS p. m, and arrive in New York at
GAS o'clock the following evening. The
train is operated by the Plant system prin-
cipally for winter tourists. Its schedule
will be put into effect Jan. II.
On account of travel south beginning
earlier this fall than last, it has been de-
cided to open the Tampa Bay hotel Dec. 5.
The other Plant system hotels, however,
will not be opened until January.

WOMEN JURORS IN IDAHO.
Took the District Attorneys Re-
marks as EvIdence-They Finally


From the Kansas City Journal.
Boise City, Ida. has experimental with
women jurors, and the result has been en-
PERTAINING, anyway. Perhaps it was in
structive, too, for in the end Justice was
done, and the next time these particular
women sit on jury they will have learned
the fundamental principles of law.
1t was a probate case before Judge
Blake. Th0jury was mixed in the matter
of sex, there being two men and four
women. Mrs. r. e. Green, Mrs. Boyakin,
Mrs. E. j. Pasmore and one unmarried
woman, Miss S. f. Wood. Perhaps the
men couldn't explain the fine points Of
law, or perhaps the women wouldn't let
them. Anyway, after being out six hours,
when the hearing of the evidence took
only one hour, and after celebrating in
voices which reached the uttermost parts
of the court building, the jury came into
court with the announcement that they
couldn't agree, no, never.
I'VE can't agree, that's all there Is to
it. l never saw such lot in all my life,
was the report brought in by Mrs. Green,
the foreman. They had been laboring
heavily under the impression that the
statements of the district attor-
ney were part of the evidence.
In telling the story Mrs. Green told ten
times more than the judge thought should
be given out in open court, but there was
no stopping the flow of words until the
source had been exhausted.
When the judge gave the jury to under
stand that the statements of the district
attorney were not evidence the jury re-
tired and in few minutes brought in a
verdict giving the plaintiff every cent ask
ed for.
The jury was seriously put out because
the bailiff hung around so he could hear
every word that was said, and when an
other court officer went into the jury room
to build a fire the women begged him to
give his opinion on the case.
But the judge was mollihed by the YER
dict because the jury had agreed, and
that was more than the previous jury in
the same case, jury composed entirely
of men. had done.

Antiquity of the I4asso.
From the Badminton Gazette

From the Badminton Gazette.
The lasso is of great antiquity. 1t Is
said to be depicted in the ruins of Nine
yah. An early Persian manuscript pre-
served in the Escorial, shows a sportsman
(whom / suppose royal by his Olympian
expression and careless seaO in the act of
catching a wild ass with a NICELY plated
lasso. The monarch bestrides a rather
stocky BLOCKING dark-colored horse with
four white feet and a white face. A bow,
quivers and a saber are hung from his
saddle, and sort of housing half covers
the horse. How the wild ass is to be re-
strained, even by the hand of monarch,
is not at first sight evident, for the lasso
is neither fixed to the saddle after the
fashion of the gauchos, nor is the half
turn taken around the pommel, in the
style adopted by vanqueros In Mexico and
Texas. Apart from this detail, all is as
realistically set forth as 1t would be to-
day in a photograph. The horse bears
away from the beast lassoed, and the king
sits a little to one side, exactly as Tex
an cowboy or an Argentine gaucho sits
under similar circumstances. Irises ana
narcissi spring up under the horses feet,
and an applaudng group of angels peep
out of a cloud, while in the middle dis
lance another Persian guacho shoots an
antelope with an arrow while galloping at
full speed.
The Laplanders are said to lasso their
reindeer, and the Tartars and modern
Australians use a rudimentary lasso fixed
TO a long pole in order to catch wild or
refractory horses. The Poles, Croatans
and Wallachlans. with the Hungarians.
seem to have used the lasso till about the
beginning of the present century. A pie
ture by the German artist Richter shows
Polish remounts for the German cavalry
being lassoed In the Zwinger at Dresden.
The horses look as wild as Texan
"broncho,'' or an Argentine 'gagual," and
the attitude of men and animals. and the
way the ropes are coiled and thrown are
identical with those adopted In Spanish
America to-day. The lasso appears TO
run through a ring in the pommel of the
saddle. It is, however, In Spanish Amer
lea where the art has been most devel-
oped. This is on account of the open
country and the vast numbers OF wild
and semi-wild horses which, up to the
middle Of the present century, overspread
its plains.
