possible was done, and 1t Is very doubtful if the situation could be im- proved upon. A great deal of anxiety has been felt about the water supply, and the danger of its becoming con- taminated by typhoid germs This danger is greatly exaggerated; prob ably 1t does not exist at all. The wa ter supply does not come, as many have supposed, from the fresh water pond on the reservation. It comes from driven wells. The pipes are driven down for several hundred feet through various earth strata, among them thick strata of heavy clay, through which it is said to be impossible for any surface water to percolate. Sur geon General Sternberg's theory is probably correct, the chief danger is from surface refuse turning into dust and being blown about, so carrying the germs of disease in every direction. To obviate this danger he has ordered one thousand barrels of chloride of lime to be used at once for disinfecting pur- poses
 "The hospital wards were spic and span, clean, quiet and orderly. The supply of nurses seemed ample, and a detachment of men ready at any mo- ment to do the heavy lifting, to wash the floors with disinfectants, and to perform other necessary services for which the women nurses had no time. There may have been and probably has been a lack of system in this de- partment which has resulted in discomfort and actual suffering to individual patients. This lack may have been due to the unexpectedly large number of patients and to the difficulty in getting large quantities of supplies on very short notice, and this, In turn, is undoubtedly due to red-tapism for which no indi- vidual and no one department is re- sponsible.
 "A system is thoroughly bad which, in an emergency, forbids the seizure by doctor or nurse of necessary supplies for sick and dying men until certain formalities, which may require hours, and perhaps days, of priceless time, have been fully complied with. In times of war men die daily because of this wretched system. Something Of Florence Nightingale's heroic spirit might, with great advantage, have been injected into the recent campaign, say at Santiago, and even since then At one time during the Crimean War she needed, and needed at once, certain medical supplies for the hundreds of sick men about her. The supplies were refused on the ground that she had

WEATHER vANE REMOVED.

Nicholas Wendhiser succeeded in re- moving the large heavy weather vane on the Union church spire at Rockville the other day. It weighs one hundred and four pounds, is eight feet long, and the spire is about one hundred and six ty-1ive feet high. Thevane has refused to work for some years, and the church society has been trying to find some- one who would repair it. A number of expert roofers and steeple climbers de- cided last week that 1t would be an im- possibility to take the vane down and gave up the work Wendhiser had the vane on the ground after two hours actual work. He had to saw off the large iron rod which held the vane.

COLONEL WATT AT 87.

He Seems to Grow Younger With the
 Passing of the Years.
 The Hon. John T. Wait of Norwich continues to receive congratulations on having ttained his eighty seventh birthday, while he remains in good health and is able to make daily visits to his office. It seems incredible that the hale and jovial ex-congressman was year old at the time of the war of 1S12 but such was the case, as he was born August F, 1911. He did his part toward encouraging the men who left Norwich for the civil war, and he has encouraged the Norwich boys who en- listed in the war against Spain; and all the time the country grows older he seems to grow younger, so that his friends forget that he has lived through three wars.

FATHER sLocUM's PLEA,
He Urges That All Children Be Sent to
 School.

The Rev. William J. Slocum, of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Waterbury, formerly of St. Patrick's, New Haven, addressed his congrega- tions last Sunday on the importance of parents and guardians of children full filling the obligations which rests upon them to send their charges to school. There are too many children, he said, allowed to roam at will. This was par ticularly so in Waterbury. Those pa- rents who wilfully shirked the respon- sibility of educating their children were criminally guilty before God and the state Father Slocum did not urge that children be given a college education, but he was most forceful in his insist ence that they be given the opportunt- ties afforded by common school edu- eaton. Those parents who permitted their charges to remain away from school had much to take home to them selves from the nature of Father Slo- cum's remarks. He defined the spirit ual and temporal law in terms of no un- certain character Those fathers who iitSlol lildt lHelT ClllluItH icliliiH out ol school to carry their lunch are guilty of serious offense. They can forego a hot dinner and exist on cold lunch un- til they come home at night, he said. The loss of the child's education is irre- parable If such state of affairs exist whereby children are permitted to grow up without the proper training, then evil results may be expected. Father Slocum said he sincerely hoped that the authorities would exercise their full authority in compelling chill dren to attend school

 Herman Sachs, who was charged with the murder of Bertram Hotchkiss in Killingworth, and afterward acquitted, paid visit to his counsel, P. w. Chase, recently. He has been employed in Brooklyn with the Brooklyn Cemetery association for several months.
 Sachs was indignant when told the story that has been printed in the state papers that he was living on the Iotch- kiss farm with Mrs. Hotchkiss. "The story is falsehood from beginning to end said Sachs. "I haven't seen Mrs. Hotchkiss since theytrial. All sorts of stories have been circulated about me. and the most of them are lies.

SITUATION IN CAMP WIKOFF
MRS. SARA T KINNEY SPENDS THREE DAYS 1T MoNT1 UK POINT

She Forms Favorable Impressions of

 Rate Not IIigh-A Large Laundry and
 More Ambulances Needed.
 Mrs Sara T. Kinney, state regent of the Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution, returned yester- day from business trip to Camp Wik- off and was interviewed by Journal and Courier representative as to what she saw relative to the welfare of the soldiers there.
 Asked what her impressions were of Camp Wikoff, Mrs. Kinney said: q was much interested in Dr. Baldwin's impression of Camp Wikoff as printed in a recent evening paper. A physician is far better than a layman Cor wo- man) to give an opinion in regard to sick people and hospital service, and I was therefore glad to see that my per- sonal impressions were right in line with those of a. physician who had made a careful study of the situation from professional standpoint. Armed with an open sesame from the war de- partment, and with letters of introduce tion to General Wheeler and to Colonel Forwood, chief surgeon, every facility was afforded me to go where I pleased and See all there was to see, and I lived up to my privileges. Montauk is certainly an ideal place for such camp. What situation could be more healthful for the men than this high, dry, point of land, flooded with sum- shine and swept by wholesome, health giving sea breezes? It may have been 8 mistake to mass so many men in place which has no sewerage system, But what else could have been done? Public sentiment demanded the imme- diate return of the men to this coun- try. It would have been most unwise to send them to their home camps. The spread of infection in each locality would surely have been the result of such t-sightedness. The best thing

 THE PEACE COMMISSION.
Judge Whites Declination-Sec
 Days Plans.

Washington. Sept 6.-Secretary Day probably will not resume the discharge of the functions of secretary of state and it may be assumed that his con- nection with the department. except the capacity of peace commissioner, terminated when he left Washington for Ohio recently. Upon his return to Washington it Is expected that he will come to the state department for the purpose of bidding farewell to the en- ployes.
 There is no longer reasonable doubt that Judge White has decided to de- cline the appointment of peace com missioner, and that he refrains from making public announcement of his purpose at the request of the presi- dent. It is intimated that very early announcement may be looked for as there is reason to believe that the pres- ident has already made a tender of the commissionership and is now awaiting an acceptance before making public that fact. Arrangements for the departure of the commission on the 17th inst. from New York, are being pushed.
 Acting Secretary Moore, with the as- sistance of MT. McArthur, is giving great deal of time to the collection of documents and charts needed by the American commissioners in their work, and the subjects likely to arise in con- nection with the final peace negotia- tions are receiving the closest study. Especially is this true of the Philip pines, which promise to be the bone of contention before the commission, and consequently Acting Secretary Moore is devoting the best share of his atten- ton to that phase of the subject
 To establish a clear understanding of the scope of the commissions pow CTS, it is stated on authority that thls body is not in any sense judicial, but purely diplomatic. The procedure will not be of character where numerical voting strength will determine any proposition, but the commissioners on each side are expected to act as sepa- rate units, and, should differences arise, they must be settled by the or dinary course of diplomatic negotia- tion.
