FAULT NOT With WATER.
Superintcndcnt Boiling Says lie Be
lIcyrS II Pure


Superintendent Charles E. Boiling, of
the City Water Works, was seen last
light, and asked if in his judgment there
was anything in the drinking water USED
by the people of Richmond to produce
typhoid fever, and whether he thousht
the cases reported from -s the western
suburbs of the city could have resulted
from the use Of James River water
Mr.. Boiling said In the first place he DID
not believe there was any epidemic OF
fever here. and that every case he had
heard OF could be traced to different
cause.
If, said he. 1t was the result of bad
water, it would be confined to no mario"
section, but would mist likely prevail
throughout the city where the water was
used. Mr.. Boiling said that as often as
the water used by the city had peen
analysed, no chemist had ever discovered
anything that was productive OF disease
He said as an evidence OF Its purity,
that after twenty-four years the reser-
voirs had been cleaned cut, ard not the
slightest particle OF foreign matter mad
been discovered in them.
Mr.. Boiling said that every precautlon
was taken by his department to give the
people pure water. and that statistics
would show that no city the size OF Rlch-
mond could boast Of a purer article.

THE CARE OF CLIFF RUINS.
Women of Colorado Take Determined
Steps to Preserve Them.

The women Of Colorado have announced
their intention OF preserving the prehistoric
ruins. the homes of the cliff dwellers,
that are now attracting so much Afternoon
in scientific circles. They say that since the
great antiquity of the relics has been ad-
United they have been visited by vandais
and that unless something is done to save
them il will not be long before the most
Interesting features will have disappeared.
To accomplish this work, therefore, they
have organized an association. ana they
have now announced their intention OF ac-
curing title to the ruins. either by pur-
chase or by a grant from the state, thelr
object being the creation of a park ana
museum in which shall be SHOWN THESE
relics of an unknown antiquity
For years the existence OF these Gill
dwellerS has been known, ana from tihle
TO time some desultory examination u
their characteristics has been maze, pul
there was no careful investigation oi lie
ruins until a comparatively snort lliiie aso
The result of their recent search was 50
productive of results, however, that arch-
biologists and ethnologists the world over
are now taking an absorbing interest IN
the relics.

America as the new world, and TO teel as

has made historic, but there Is now a
growing feeling among scholars that we
have all the time been in the wrong. and
that instead Of being the new world
America is one of the Oldest continents in
existence a continent that was peopled
by men far advanced in civilization tens
of thousands of years ago. For this change
of opinion the American cliff dwellers are
responsible and it is not strange that the
interest of the world SHOULD now be CEN
tered upon them.
The area of prehistoric ruins IN the
Southwes. covers a tract OF 5000 square
miles. extending from the -four corners
into Colorado, Utah. New Mexico and
Arizona. and the selection of the tract
most valuable has been one Of the grave
questions at issue with the committee,
bu, 1t has now been practically decided
to include that portion of the Mesa Verde,
the green tableland in the southwestern
corner OF Colorado. which contains the
most ruins
It should be understood that Mesa Verde,
the probable location Of the future park,
Is a s.riking!y singular divide between the
Mancos and the Montezuma valleys.
Throughout. its extent It is gashed and
scanned by tnnunerahle deep CANYONS and
ravines. The uplands are crowded with
forests with the trees In such close ar

passage through them. Ruins OF the house

st!t.on which might, X properly analysed
and applied, make better Christians OF men
cnlightened. When some one said to MN
that the sea was uncomfortable by man,
he reDed that he had heard that the Christ
had said 10 it Peace, be still and he had
never heard anything about the same
power subduing the multitude when 1t was
cnraged. Therefore. he chose the sea.
Il was a weary, tempestuous voyage.
More than once the ship Went out OF her
course and three times her crew mutlnled.
Ones they bound him hand and foot and
carried him TO the ships side to pitch him
into the water as Precipitation TO the
wrath. This was circumVented by his
promise to give each sailor IS when the
ship reached New York. Not living soul
on shipboard knew of his treasure, else
| ia would never have left il alive. Often
times he was required to do service under
orders, and it was usually work Of the most
mental character.
REACHED PORT.
The ship reached the port OF New York
after a voyage of nearly four months. Inc
faithful servant paid to each one OF tlie
crew who had bound him the sum promised
and presented the captain with larger
sum for his consideration. The journey
from New York was by stage TO PittsburS.
Thence down the Ohio River and up tho
Mississippi by steamboat to St Louis.
From St Louis up the Missouri by similar
means of transportation to Westport Land
ing now Kansas City. Thence by wagon
and horseback to Harrispnville. In proof,
as if any were necessary. Of his perlls by
sea he carried certificate from the cap
tain of the ship.
Within less than two years there was an
epidemic in Missouri. 1t travelled like the
fire in the dry grasses of a. prairie. 1t
fastened itself upon such out-Of-the-Way
places as Harrisonville, and wasted human
life as rnercilessiy as the sirocco Of AL
giers One of its victims was the wife
Of the good old physician who had given
up his life in the camp in Calaveras- As
he had nursed mis- master TO the end, the
faithful servant attended his mistress in
her last days. There were no charity So
cietieS then; no homes for the aged; no
community Of appeal.
The epidemic had snritten the village,
and those who survived were pennilesS.
In that hour the faithful old slave. whose
freedom had been earned, but never ac-
cepted came to the relief of the stricken;
and his portion Of the treasure ,pequeathed
went to the amelioration of the people
among whom his master had lived before
he became a FOrty-niner. When the ser
want dted he was buried beneath the old
tree which shaded and sheltered the grave
of his wife. The bit of ground, just
enough for two dead bodies was all this
old servant hal when he came to close
his eyes forever. And so when the hurrl-
cane from Kansas levelled the tree above
his remains some one knowing the story
of his life put the slab over his grave on
which is his name:
