Philadelphia Doils With Rage

The only way in which typhoid fever
Is propogated is by the introduction of
the characteristic microbe into the
stomach, and tins Introduction is near
iy always affected by the drinking of
contaminated water. If the water
which the city sells to the people Of
Philadelphia and upon which it makes
a profit OF more than a million dollars
every year, were fit to drink, typhoid
fever would practically cease.
What an awful responsibility rests
upon the cOuncimen who, through
jealousy, or Incompetence, or ignorance
or greed, lie back in their twentv-tlol-
lar chairs and stretch their feet on their
own hundred- dollar desks and do moth
ing.
There is a day of reckoning coming
for them.
in meanwhile, boil. brothers, boil
with rage. Its a con ouuded nuisance.
and that it should be necessary is an
lntOlerable outrage. but its the only
way to be safe.-Pniladelp hia Inquirer.

One More Use for q Hairpln.

From the Daily Eastern Argus.-The
statement that the power was shy on
the Yarmouth electric road during the
electrical storm Wednesday afternoon
was incorrect. Instead OF that. a bolt OF
lightning had blown out the fuse to
the electric lights Of the car which ar
rived in the city at 80 p. m, an hour
late. There were no spare fuses on
board. so Supt Decker, always on hand
and with a prompt remedy for all trou-
ole. borrowed a common hairpin from
one of the lady passengers. The lady
was somewhat surprised at the re-
quest. but after granting it was much
pleased to see Mr.. Decker straignten
out the pin and replace the burned
fuse with it. Then the juice was ad-
mitted to the car and all went well.
