IT PUMPS DISEASE
The Lower Water Station Is Still
Running.
SIXTEEN DEATHS: FIFTEEN DAYS
That Is the Typhoid Fever Mortality
for the First Part of
April.

Typhoid fever is still raging in an un-
usually virulent form in Minneapolis. and,
according to DR.. J. F. Corbet, bacterio-
logist Of the health department, the con-
tamination of the city's water supply
through the use of the West Side pumping
station is directly responsible for the
situation.
The mortality in April from this disease
promises to be even higher than for last
month, when it reached nearly so per cent,
according to the reports of the health
department
There were sixteen deaths during the
first fifteen days of the present month,
against three deaths for the whole month
Of April last year. Said DR.. Corbett to-
day:
DIR. Corbett's Comment.
The situation is indeed a most unusual one.
The typhoid germs must have an extraordi-
nary virulence to cause such mortality as
during the past few weeks. In my opinion
the result is due to the use of water from
the lower pumping station. The water in
the river at this point is contaminated by
sewage from Bassett's creek and numerous
sewers entering the river above the steel
arch bridge both sides of the river, and
as the records of my examinations show, is
absolutely unfit for drinking purposes. There
have been numerous cases of typhoid in the
section of the third ward drained by Bas-
sett's creek. The extreme viruence of the
disease can be accounted for only on the
theory that the typhoid germs are of imme-
date local origin. If they had been brought
down the river from considerable distance
above the city the exposure to the action of
the water would have reduced their vitality
almost to the point where they would be
innocuous.
Danger From Local Germs
Typhoid germs acquire their yirulance
through access to the human body, If
washed into the river from Bassett's creek or
nearby sources they would enter the CITY
mains with but little of their original vitality
lost That is the only explanation I have
for the fact of the remarkable virulenee of
the present epidemic
believe that investigation will prove that
IN most cases there could have been no
other source Of infection than the city water.
Other physicians are not yet prepared
to put the blame all on the city water
but they do agree that it is an extraordin,
nary situation, that the typhoid germs are
possessed of an unusual strenuousness
and that the prudent man will be careful
of his drink.

Americas Most Costly Building.

Every Sunday afternoon from o'clock
to o'clock there is a service in the crypt
of what, when IL is completed, will be
the cathedral of St. John, the Divine, OF
the Protestant Episcopal church, in the
diocese of New York of which Bishop
Potter is the head. The dimensions of the
cathedral are: Length, 500 feet; across
the transcript nearly 800 feet. The front,
or main entrance of the edifice will face
Amsterdam avenue. 1t will be 200 feet in
width, and flanked by two giant towers.
The cornerstone of st. Johns was laid
on st. Johns day, in 1892. Forty plans
were submitted for the structure They
were scaled down and down until one was
adopted. Notwithstanding accepted
specifications and contracts, no one GER
tainly can tell the final cost. A man skill
ed in such matters, after summary of
data furnished from an authoritative
source, guessed" that the sum necessary
to finish the work would be $2OOOO,OOO.
The man to whom the guess was made,
who possessed details which the other
did not have, replied, You are at least
$40, 600 under the cost, maybe more
Great as the work unquestionably is,
with its construction going forward daily
there is a general belief that the cathe-
dral will be nearly completed three years
hence. When that time comes park
will have been finished in the midst OF
which the structure will stand. This will
be known as Cathedral flights park and
will be connected with Morningside park
laid out in the days of William M. Tweed
and which extends along the natural lines
of the beautiful bluff, under the shadows
of the site on which the cathedral OF st.
John the Divine will stand.-lLeslie'

Mrs. Harriet Hooper eaudeIet.

Harriet Hooper Gaudelet, who died
Thanksgiving day at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. William Armory, AIS
Beacon street, Boston, was born in
Brattleboro "a years ago. the daughter
of Paul Chase, the noted landlord of
that day, and his wife, Gratia Chase.
She was a sister of the late Col. e. II.
Chase. The Boston Transcript in
noting her death said: In her girlhood
days, Battlerboro was a mecca for
many who sought the benefits of a
water-cure which, half a century and
more ago, made the little Vermont
town famous. Society beaux and
bellies from many cities gathered there
and gayety was found at all times.
The opening of n railroad was an
event which drew to Brattleboro many
people to celebrate the occasion, and
from New York with a party of young
men came Alfred Gaudelet of Paris,
France, a graduate of the University
of Paris. 1t was on this visit that he
first met Harriet Hooper Chase, whom
he soon afterward married, the we'd
ding taking place so years ago. They
made their home at Providence, r. l.,
until 1870, when they came to this
city to reside. Mr. Gaudelet died in
1875. Mrs. Gaudelet had an unusually
happy faculty of making friends of all
with whom she came in contact, and
her gentleness, her sweet nature, her
refinement and also her personal APP
pearance, for she was a woman who
retained to the very last the remark
able beauty of her youth, all served to
draw to her side those who visited her
in her home or whom she met else
where, and no one could know her and
not love her. Mrs. Gaudelet always
had been a worshipper at the Church
of the Advent, since living in Boston.
She is survived by two daughters
Mrs. William Amory and Mrs. John
Peters, both of this city and also two
sons-William Gaudelet and Howard
Gaudelet.

fire was gotten under control, and
from then on there was little danger

At 9 o'clock the fire practically was
out. During this time large stream
of water had been coursing down
through the hatchway of Harmony

the course of the stream was finally

George Bishops Remarkable Hospital
Experience.

George Bishop, who came home from
the Roosevelt hospital i'm New York to
enjoy Thanksgiving with his family, re-
turned there this week. after a pleasant
visit with a number of his friends to
whom the story of his hospital experience
was wonderfully interesting as illustrate
ing the marvellous skill in surgery. Last
summer, II will be remembered. young
Bishop mistook for ice water pitcher of
I've, from which he got a strong and al
most fatal draught. Some idea OF the
strength of the acid can be had from the
fact that a few drops on the floor burns
not only paint. but the wood itself. The
effect of the dose on the patient was to
produce a structure of the esophagus.
Bishop, after local treatment, was sent
to the hospital in Pittstied and finally
to Roosevelt. where he has submitted
TO several operations, before which his
physical strength had become largely re-
duced until he was well-nigh a living
skeleton, because of his inability to swal-
low.
Through a tube inserted in his stomach
he was given nourshment and after lit
tie through this process, he was permit
ted to feed himself, and his weight and
strength were regained. This accomplish
ed the next step was to treat the stric-
ture, which was done by obligng the pa
tient to swallow a silk thread, which was
fished out of the stomach through the
abdomen. and to this thread was attached
a stout fishline fastened to a rubber tube
which was drawn up into the structure
and which was allowed to remain five
days. After removing the tube, the pa
tient was able to eat soft foods and chop
ped beef though he still has some trou-
bic with solids. The structure works spas
medically, contracting at times, but by
constant dilation in the manner describ-
ed, the surgeons expect ultimate recov-
cry. 1t is an unusual case and one in
which the surgeons themselves are deeply
terested.-[Springfeld Sunday Republic
