How to Ten Pure Water.

A simple test for a%scertaining wheth-
err there is any impurity in water is
to take q glassful and add to 1t a few
drops of %sulphuric acid and a few
drops of a dilute solution of potassium
permanganate. A perfect pink color
will be produced, but IL the water cor
tains decaying organic matter the pink
color will ut once become faint and
finally disappear. Sometimes ferrous
sulphate, hydrogen sulphite or other
reducing agents r present in water
and produce similar results. An ex-
pert can always distinguish the differ
ence and for this reason the expert
ments of a novice cannot always be
relied upon. But when water shows
an excess of chlorine and bleaches pot
assium permanganate 1t is certainly
suspicious and should be analysed by
IN expert.-Atlanta Constitution.

In THE Glasgow Herald Of April IL
is given the statement of exports from
the consular district Of Dundee to the
United States for the quarter ended
March 81. The total value was $1,4O3,-
81, against $ 2,734,OO6 for the CORE
spending quarter in 1897, a falling of
of $1,330.19 Linens, burlaps and pad
dings are our principal purchases from
Dundee, the largest item being burlaps,
amounting to $77233 ,23G for the first quar-
ter Of 1893.
The fact that the exports from Dun
dee for this quarter were 100000 less
than for the corresponding quarter in
1896 shows that the decrease in 1898
was not altogether due to heavy pur-
chases in. anticipation Of the Dingley

An Unequalled Record.

For the nine months ending with
March, 1888, the difference between the
importation and expectation of mer-
chandise by the United States amount
ed to $47O,9G1 ,G93, that sum being the
excess of what we sold over what we
bought. No other country has made or
can make II record to equal this. The
reason is to be found in the fact that
no other country has III equal diversity

SIXTY THOUSAND MEN OUT
WORK ON EXPOSITION BUILD
 INGS HAS CEASED.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, Oct 7.-The strike of the la borers here has extended to nearly all the building trades, and 1t is feared the railroad men will join in the movement. Work on the exhibition buildings and underground railroad has completely ceased. About 0,0O0 men have gone out on strike and the situation is causing consternation. The attitude of the strik- CTS is increasingly aggressive. and fights between strikers and so-called black legs" are incessant, involving the intervention of the police, troops and mounted republican guards, who have been obliged to repeatedly charge on the strikers. The quarters in which the rioting has taken place are patrOlled by strong attachments of police and troops.
 There are great apprehensionsle lest the agitators turn the strike movement to political ends.
 The Temps declares that the leaders of the men are aiming at general strike, if not at a revolution, and would be if the Exhibition of 1900 is compromised.
 The latest news this morning is that the Municipal Council and the contrac- tors have come to an agreement re- garding the demands of the laborers, and hopes are expressed that the strike will end in few days.
 But in spite of the hopes entertained of termination of the strike more men struck to-day and numerous bands wis ited various works for the purpose of forcing men to join in the strike. The police dispersed these bands and ar rested number of leaders of the dis turbers. Additional endorsements of troops have been drafted into the city from outlying garrisons.

FlTZSIMMONS ORDERED

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-James H. Bresin, proprietor of the Gilsey House, this after noon faced the delicate task of refusing a meal to Robert J. Fitzsimmons at his hotel FitZsimmons entered the hotel at about o'clock. He looked curiously at the spot where the Corbett-McCoy inn broglio took place, and then walked into the mems dining Several men in the corridors recognized him and in some way his presence in the house was made known to MT. Breslin.
 T do not wish you to dine here" said MT. Breslin to the champion. T shall be very much obliged if you will leave. I cannot permit my employees to serve you'
 A trace of color fled to ''Fitz $" cheek, but he kept his seat and answered stead fly enough:
 'I am now an ordinary citizen. There is nothing in my conduct at present to make me objectionable to any one here. Why do you bar me?'
 ''I do not wish your trade" said Land lord Breslin. You will oblige me by leav- ing"
 "Fitz' protested again, saying that he considered it unfair treatment, but MT Breslin was obdurate and the big fellow finally arose and reached for his hat. He walked into the corridor and out to the main entrance, where he stood for a few seconds and then strode down Broadway.

INSULTS THE JUDGES AT LOS

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 7.-The hereto fore calm. placid features of William Durfee, the young Los Angeles reinsman, wear a ruftled uneven look tonight. The gentle William and his mare, Juliet D, one of the starters in the special pacing event at the track this afternoon, fur niShed the sensational feature of the days sport, and all horsedOm is agog over the affair tonight. Juliet D took the first two heats in a fashionable manner, but dropped the third, after an invigorat- ing finish. to Don, over which Dick Havey held the ribbons. The judges did not quite fancy the complexion of things and fined Durfee $50 for laying up the heat.
 On learning this the classic features of William took on an ashen hue, and with a tragedian-like tread he visited the stand and delivered himself of an ad- dress. He told the judges his views on running a racetrack, why this Govern ment should hold the Philippines, the many valuable qualities of Henry T. Gage, candidate for Governor, and all so literally sprinkled with adjectives strong enough 10 make Fighting Bob'' Evans vince that the officials increased the fine Sg5 more. This was too much for Reins- man Durfee. and he mentioned a place where the inhabitants wear lighter ap- parei than the people of Yuma, and told the judges to make it $100 if they liked. They acquiesced by ruling MT. Durfee off the turf for life
 In the following heats of the race Dur fee was replaced behind Juliet D by Me Gregor. but she failed to show to any better advantage.
 The friends of MT Durfee claim that he was doing his best. and circumstances point that way. However, hoodlumism does not tend to elevate the turf, and the ruling. though severe, appears a just one.
 The attendance was better. and the number of bookmakers laying prices, de- creased by one at to-day's cut-in, found more coin in circulation. It was hard to pace, but Don finally won. In the run ing events Gracias, Headwater and Road

PHILADELPHIA OUTCLASSED
TAKES HIS PUNISHMENT AND
 STAYS THE LIMIT.
Two Clean Knockdowns Scored by the "Mysterious" PugiIist in the Concluding
 Rounds.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-"Mysterious Billy Smith of this city is still the champion welterweight pugilist. He met Charles McKeever of Philadelphia at the LenoX Athletic Club tonight in a twenty -five-round bout at 142 pounds and although McKeever stayed the full limit the bout was one-sided and all in Smiths favor. McKeever was heralded as more dangerous proposition than Smith had ever tackled, but his show ing was a great disappointment, as he was at no time capable of making an impression upon the mysterious boxer, who knocked him off his feet in the tWenty-third and twenty-f1fth rounds. The attendance was far above the average.
 The mysterious" boxer boxed twen- ty-five rounds with Jim Judge at Scran- ton, Pa, last Monday night and knocked out his man in the last few seconds of the final round. After such a contest most pugilists would have taken a rest of a few weeks before en- gazing in another bout, but Billy" turned up at the club house tonight looking as fit as if he had not boxed in two months. He was the favorite at 100 to 50.
 In the fifth round McKeever landed left on the face, making Smiths nose bleed. Throughout the bout Smith pounded his man heavily in the wind and ribs and over the kidneys, while Mckeever played for the face. Both men drew blood in the eighth. In the fifteenth Smith planted a terrible right on the stomach and put a straight left on the face. Mac raised his knee to the body, but the referee said it was an accident.
 When the last five rounds began Smith was as fresh as ever, while Mo keever, though plucl1y, was evidently much weakened from his punishment In the twenty-third round Smith swung his right on the jaw and McKeever dropped to the floor He got up quickly and hugged his man until the referee pulled them apart. Billy" rushed mat ters in the tWenty-fourth but the bell came to McKeever's rescue. In the last round Smith knocked McKeever clean off his pins with right swing on the jaw, but the Philadelphian was up within three seconds. Billy" tried hard to get his right over to the mark, but could not land it and Mac lasted the limit.
 The referee awarded the bout to Smith.

Women in Business.
From the Free Press, Detroit. Mich.

A prominent business man recently ex- pressed the opinion that there Is one thing that will prevent women from com pletely filling mans place in the business world-they can't be depended upon be- cause they are sick too often. This is refuted by Mrs. C. W. Mansfield, a busi- ness woman of 5S Farrar street, Detroit, Mich, who says:
 "A complication of female ailments kept me awake nights and wore me out l could get no relief from medicine and hope was slipping away from me. A young lady in my employ gave me a box of pr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo- pie. took them and was able to rest at night for the first time in months. bought more and took them, and they cured me, as they also cured several other people to my knowl- edge. I think that if you should ask any of the druggists of Detroit, who are the best buyers of pr. Williams Pink Pills. they would say the young women. These pills certainly build up the nervous system, and many a young woman owes her life to them.
