IN THE HOUR OF NEED
Newspapers Never Fail to Help
Their Neighbor in Distress-This
Paper Under Obligations to the
News and Register.


There have been instances OF vessels
at sea disregard!ng signals of distress
from fellow mariners, but seldom or
never has there been an instance in
newspaperdom Of any newspaper fall
ing to come to the assistance of anoth-
er In Its hour Of need.
This was eXemplified yesterday In the
case Of the Intelligencer. whose press
broke down early in the morning when
only half of the edition had been
printed. But for the generosity and
masnanimlty OF the Register in offer
Ing the use of its press, great difficulty
would have been encountered in issuing
the paper. Again, the News has very
kindly offered the use OF Its press In
gbtting out to-day's issue of the INTEL
lisencer. To both the Register and
News the 1nte.llgencer Is profoundly
grateful.
The Intelllgencer press was damaged
to the extent OF $500 by the slipping of
one OF the multitudinous little cog
wheels, which In turn caused the
crushing OF others, rendering the big
machine useless until duplicate parts
can be secured from the makers Re.

CONFIDENT OF 4.
M'KlNLEY'S
REELECTION.
Is a Well Known Former Democratic
Leader, Who Couldn't stom-
ach Organism In 1896.
FREE SILVER PLAUsIBLl7Y
OF 1896 Will Not be in Evidence
This Year-EFect Of a Big
War With China.

A well known former Democratic
leader. who couldn't stomach Organism
in '96 and compromised with himself by
supporting Palmer and Buckner. and
who intends to put her In straight" for
Mckinley and Prosperity this year, said
last evening in the course Of n chat
with the Intelligencer. that from all he
could learn of the situation he did not
believe that the Gold Democratic or
ganization would place a third ticket In
, the field this campaign.
.The Gold Democratic ticket was put
in the field in good faith In 1885, said
he, Notwithstanding the sneers Of the
silver fellows, and II i, hadn't been
that the latter became so loud In their
confidence in ability to carry Bryan
through. the vote for Palmer and Buck
ner would have been larger than 1t wac.
for, as You know. many Of US were lit
pressed with the danger Of the hour.
and att the last moment decided to vote
for Mckinley and take none of the
chances involved in supporting the
third ticket. am confident that Presi-
dent Mckinley owed his election to the
Gold Democratic movement, and GER
talnly Mckinley would not have car
ried West Virginia without that move
ment."H
What OF the present campaign"
81 am confident that Mckinley and
Roosevelt will be elected. am equally
confident that Bryan will not receive as
many votes this year as he got In go.
Then there was degree of plausiblity
to his free silver theories that Impress
ed a good many people. The great
prosperity that has followed the tri-
umph of Mckinley and sound money IN
1886. however. has exposed Bryan's the
cries and exploded his claim of disas-
ter that would follow the defeat of sill
vcr."
What Of the so-called imperial
ISM"
II don't see that 1t will amount to
anything-certainly 1t will not when It
has been discussed and the people learn
that imperialism is really nothing but
campaign cry. II We become involved
In real and serious war with China,
believe President Mcklnley's majority
viii be overwhelming. In that event I
don't believe Bryan would carry more
than five states OF the Union"

INSPECTION OF THB
WATER SUPPLY
Members Of Health Boards Visited
the Reservoirs Of the Spring
Brook Water Company.

The board Of health of Scranton, to-
| gether with the board Of health of
| Taylor, on Saturday made an inspec-
tion Of the water supply of the Spring
Brook Water Supply company, which
| company supplies water to part of the
South Side and Bellevue Heights in
this city as we'll as Wilkes Barre,
Pittston and the other towns of the
Wyoming valley.
The party left Scranton Saturday
morning for Moosic, where they got
aboard a car Of the Spring Brook rail-
road, which conveyed the party up the
beautiful Spring Brook valley. The
party first inspected the reservoir now
being erected on Spring Brook. The
dam at this point is being built of
solid masonry and when finished will
be the highest dam in Pennsylvania,
and will hold back two billion gallons
Of water. At this point the party were
able to see the character of the water
shed of the company.
Mile after mile Of mountain land,
utterly devoid of human habitation
met the eye. No cultivated land and
no sign of any possible contamina-
members of both boards Of health ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased
with the success attending the COM
pany' work in protecting it's watershed
from contamination. The boards ex-
amined the pumping station that
pumps water from the artesian wells
and from Spring Brook for the sup-
ply of Taylor and parts of Scranton.
The water from the wells was ex-
amined, as well as the arrangements
for conveying it to the points of con-
sumption.
The party then proceeded to the
grounds Of the superintendent of the
watersheds, where lunch was served,
after which Professor Dean, of the
company's laboratory at Wilkes Barre,
explained the system used by the COM
pany to keep it's water pure and it's
watersheds free from contamination.
The company has an elaborate sys-
tenn of inspection and reports on their
different watersheds, and have periodi-
cal bacteriological, microscopic and
analytical examination made of the
water, both as it is In their reservoirs
and as it comes from hydrants.
The party then returned to Scran-
ton, and all We're highly pleased with
the result of the investigation.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Number Of Matters Considered at
Yesterdays Meeting.

The Central Labor union yesterday
decided to more energetically take up
the grievance of the theatrical en-
ployes and attempt to satisfactorily ad-
Just the latters' difficulties with the
Lyceum and Academy of Music. An
attempt will be made by the executive
committee to secure a conference with
the management Of the theaters.
A communication was received from
the United Mine Workers extending
an Invitation to all labor organiza-
tions to participate in Wednesdays big
parade. This was accepted and re-
ferred to committee on arrangements,
consisting Of G.. II. Gothier. j. +.
Hammes and F. s. Sherman, who will
issue call to all labor organizations
to meet at the Central Labor union
quarters on Wyoming avenue at 1.So
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, when
they will be met by a band to lead
them in the parade.
The Glass Workers union, of Homes
dale, who, since last April, have been
on strike against 4. B. Clark G. Com
pany. presented q grievance at the
meeting. They claim that in several
instances union men are harboring
"scab" glass workers boarding and
ASooAho ehSA anu uiuihS tiCHi Ah NdIA-
Gus ways. The Central Labor union
decided to investigate this and will
endeavor to bring an end to this state
of affairs. The glass workers were Or
ganized last December.
The carpenters unions have decided
to circulate petition among the busi-
ness men Of the city asking for their
signatures. The petition requests that,
in order to bring to an end the present
disagreement existing between the car
penters and builders, henceforth when
any contractors or day work, either
new or repair, be allotted, 1t be specified
that none but union labor be employed.
The carpenters believe that If they can
secure sufficient signatures to this an
agreement will soon be arrived at. 90

WONDERFUL LAKES.
Variety of Medicinal Bodies of Water
in This Country.

From Household Words.
The famous pitch lake, or great bitu-
men deposit, of Trinidad is situated
about mile from the sea, covering
an area of about hundred acres, ana
looking like dark, sterile wilderness.
It's rugged surface Is perceptibly con-
vex, and is scanned with crevlces which
strangely enough, are always filed
with delicious fresh water. The center
of the lake-the pitch pot" as 1t is
called-is so soft as to engulf anything
placed upon it. Indeed, If person
stands upon the pitch anywhere on
the lake the surface sinks gradually
for yards around, and the intruder
presently finds himself standing In Il
sort of basin. The lake is government
property and Is practically inexhaust-
ible, fresh pitch taking the place of
