papers. The trouble arose from the burning Of
large quantities Of soft coal in the furnaces OF
the steam plant. There was loud protest
which the sanitary officers were compelled to
hear. New-York would be converted into an
other Pttsburg If the nuisance was not abated.
1t was said. Sanitary experts made investiga-
lions. took photographs Of the smoke and made
reports upon which hearing was ordered, and
then the order went forth that the nuisance
must stop. 1t was stopped
TROUBLE WITH THE MILK SUPPLY.
The trouble with the milk supply in this city
lasted many years In spite Of frequent raids
by the milk inspectors, the destruction of large
quantities of skinned or watered milk and the
heavy fines which were inflicted upon the deal
ers who persisted in selling such milk, the
trouble continued until President Wilson OF the
Health Board recently hit upon the plan OF
compelling all milk dealers to take out permits
Special legislation by the Board accomplished
decided reform The milk dealers were Obliged
to tell the source Of their supply and give other
information Of value to the department before
receiving their permits. and then the Sanitary
Code was amended so as to allow the revocation
of permits and The driving of milk dealers out
Of business if they failed to comply with the re-
Quirements for the sale of pure milk Inc re-
suit has been most satisfactory. The dealers
have been careful 20 comply with the law, ana
tho information gained from them has enabled
the inspectors of the Health Department to IN
spect the COWS and cause the destruction of
COWS which were afflicted with tuberculosis, thus
removing great danger from the milk supply.
For the fist six months of this year there has
been not only a lower death rate from diarrh6al
diseases among children than ever before, but
Der of deaths from those disease is less by about
two thousand than in the same period OF 1910
This increase of health is believed to be largely
due to the improved milk supply.
Within a year the Health Board has ordered
the destruction of 1OS old -car tenement-houses
in the city which had become dangerous to the
health of the people. Most of those houses nave
been torn down The Board acted under the
provisions of the Tenement-H House law in order
ing the destruction of the houses, but the work
of needed reform could not have been performed
so speedily except by the use OF the eXtraordl-
nary power previously lodged in the Board. III
has been said sometimes that the Health Board
has more power than the Supreme Court in deal
ing with the owners of tencment-houses VINO
arc unwilling TO keep the houses in condition
fit for human habitation. In many cases, when
such owners have failed to make improvements
or repairs demanded for sanitary reasons, the
Health BoaId has sent policeman to drive all
they repaired.

STARTLING TELEGRAM.

In his rapid and incessant travels
about the country Mr.. Edward Baxter
Perry often meets with the most an
noying vicissitudes and complications
in regard to his pianos, although he has
sometimes had as many as eleven on
the road at once. One of his grands
last season was separated from it's legs
for a period of several weeks, the box
containing the body Of the instrument
having rightly gone to Atlanta, and
the box of legs having taken the wrong
train. A fortnight later Mrs. Perry re-
ceived the following telegram in Bos-
ton: Mr.. Perrys legs have just ar
rived. Body went last week to Cincin-
natl. Where shall we send the legs?"
Mr.. Perry's family were so alarmed by
this message and outsiders so amused
when the facts were known, that the
incident got into all the Boston papers
which had a great deal of sport over
this unfortunate division of the plan
list. Mr.. Perry is to play at Prof. f.
A. Fowler's studio, S51 Chapel street,
this evening, and it is to be hoped both
he and the piano will arrive entire.

Several times she came over to this

get glimpse of her son. She found
him the last time a student at Yale.
She came back to New York last
May and established a studio at No Al

each other frequently. She went to
Norwich several months ago, and she
and j, de Trafford Blackstone met face
to face. Time had dealt tenderly with
them both. She looked ten or fifteen
years younger than she is, and few
gray hairs about the temples We're the
only evidences that the man who was
her husband had grown older.
He had been married in London to
Mrs. Annie Rich. The second wife was
dead. They We're both free, They found
that after two decades they loved each
other, and the boy said in his quiet
way, that nothing in the world would
please him better than to see his father
and mother reunited. They were both
willing enough.
Guided perhaps by the legal instincts
of the distinguished jurist, j. de Traf-
ford Blackstone looked up all the vari-
Gus divorces and saw that there was
no legal obstacle to re-marriage. In
this view the Rev. r. S. Blanchard. of
st. James Episcopal church, Philadel-
phia, agreed with him. The wedding
will take place next Tuesday afternoon
In the presence of a few family friends.
Mr.. Blackstone, since the separation
from his wife twenty years ago, has
made progress in the business and So

members ofthe Travellers club, which
was merged into the present New York
club, and an original member of the
New York Jockey club, He is also a
member of the Algonquin and Essex

Paper Read Last Evening By Judge L..
A. Munson.
Judge l.. e. Munson of this city read
an interesting paper at the regular
monthly meeting of the New Haven
Colony Historical society, held at the
society's building last evening. The
subject of the paper was Commercial
Union Between the United States and
Canada" Judge Munson spoke of the
great advantages which would result
from such a union, especially to the
New England states. He also spoke of
the center of commercial and political
union as having moved westward and
of how such power could be equalized
about the country by a commercial
union.
At the conclusion of Judge Munson's
paper, Professor Brewer spoke of the
reciprocity of 1854 and in reminiscent
way of the agitation in favor of such a
policy during the years since.

United States in reply to a question to
prove their assertions. The letter says:
THE custom of this department is TO
use the shortest time between ports. A
table is kept of all the sailings Of the
month and on the showing of that state
ment a determination is made of how the
mails shall be forwarded for the month.
I know of no better plan to pursue. II
settles itself that if this new line Of
steamers can make the voyage in four>

preference"
Assuming the British government mail

admiralty grant to be S125,000, the syndi-
cate state that they are prepared to fur
nish this fast service for a Canadian
subsidy Of s950,00O a year instead of the
subsidy of s75O,OOO a year. which has been
already voted by Parliament.
The time to be occupied from London
