CONFERENCE ON FILTRATION OF
SUPPLY.
Soft Sand System Said to be the Best
Different Kinds of Germs Destroy
Each Other.

An important health conference was
held in New York city lately. attended
by committees and engineers who have
charge of filtration plants in different
cities throughout the country. The
filtration problem is particularly i'm
portant in Washington, where the water
supply is obtained from the Potomac
river; in New Orleans, Pittsburg, Gin
cinnati, st. Louis and other cities that
are supplied by the Mississippi and
other rivers, and generally TO all NUM-
cipalitieS which depend upon running
streams. In Washington whenever
there is heavy rain the flow from
the hydrants is so filled with mud that
the water is repusive to sight and to
taste, and the board of health has an
nually for years warned congress Of
the danger to the health of the city
from this cause. Typhoid fever is fire.
quently epidemic, and there have been
more cases during the last few months
than ever before. Yet upon this most
important of all subjects congress has
/ shown extraordinary indifference.
Last year an appropriation of 5000, OOO
was authorized for an investigation and
report as to the best practicable meth
DDS of publication, and Senator Nc
MILAN of Michigan, who as chairman
of the senate committee on the District
of Columbia, is the actual mayor of
Washington, has employed the best ex-
perts he could find. They are now al
most ready to make their report, but
will postpone it until they have had an
opportunity to confer with engineers
of practical experience in the filtration
business. The cities l have named are
equally interested, because they have
the same proposition to solve and the
same kind of water to deal with, and
no other source of supply.
.agI f1.. So n
filtration plants are at Albany-where
the water is taken from the Hudson
river-at Lawrence, Mass, and Pater-
son, N. j., and in each of these cases
the conditions are similar to those in
Washington. They use what is known
as the soft-sand system; that is, the
water perColates through beds of
loose sand BY this means, it is claim
ed the water can be purified of earthly
substances and of all germs. A curious
fact is that the different kind of germs
DESTROY each other in the sand. This
method has also been successfully used
in england and Germany. The Ger
man cities are said to have the best
systems of filtration in the world, and
typhoid fever is practically eliminated
from the list of prevalent diseases
Another method of filtration which has
been also successful includes the use
of alum as a purifier. This, however
is said to be more expensive and NJ
more effective than the ordinary sand
a plant sufficient to filter the watel
supply of Washington will cost abou
s., 900, 000, ana an attempt will be mad,
to secure the necessary legislation dur
ing the present session of congress.

DAsTARDLY FILIPINO PLOT

A diabolical plot to blow up the L. S.
S. Pampanga by inserting cement in
her boiler was recently frustrated by a
final inspection, says the Manila Times
The work had all been performed by
native mechanics, and it seems impro-
bable that one or two could have pre-
pared the boiler for destruction with
out the knowledge of the others. To
allow such a fiendish plot TO pass un-
punished is to invite the preparation
of equally or more dangerous crimes,
adds the Times.

THE ELECTIONS TUESDAY.

The elections on Tuesday in the
several States resulted in nothing
startling save in New York City,
where the Tammany organization was
whipped out of its boots. The Tam
many candidate for mayor was de-
feated by 10000 plurality by the fu-
sion candidate, Seth Low, who was
supported by the Republicans and re-
form Democrats. Richard Croker will
retire from the leadership Of Tamma-
ny.
The Democrats carried Maryland.
They will have a majority Of 9 in the
Legislature, which will probably re-
turn Hon. A. P. German to the U. S.
Senate.
The Democrats won in Virginia by
about $4,000 majority, electing Mon
tague Governor and having the Leg
islature almost unanimous.
Pennsylvania gave the Quay can
didates big majorities, and in Ohio the
Republicans carried the State by a
larger vote than usual. New Jersey
was carried by the Republicans by an
enormous majority, as were also Mas
sachusetts, Iowa, Rhode Island and
Connecticut. Nebraska went Repub-
ican by about 10000.
The Democrats electeda majority of
the Legislature in Kentucky, giving
them a U. s. Senator. Mississippi
also went Democratic.

THE Hon. Andrew Carnegie, who
is one of the wealthiest men in the
world, has returned to New York from
Scotland. In an interview he said /:
81 am out ofbusiness; l have reformed. !"
And then in the next breath he said
that the high protective duties ought
to be reduced if our country wants to
pursue the right policy. Mr.. Carne-
gie's vast fortune was made because of
the advantages of high tariff, which
enabled him to charge double price for
his products, and it is trife nervy
for him to advocate change now just
because he has gotten enough. New
srthelsss he speaks truth. The one
way to get the best Of the great trusts
is to reduce or remove the tariff that
enables them to carry on their system
of robbery, and SO permit free compe-
tition.
But it may be too late to attempt
this remedy. The trusts are so pow
erful that is most improbable tbatan
legislation can be enacted by Congress
that they oppose.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-

famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in

Assessor j. w. Gardner, of the Sec

He is heartily in sympathy with the
movement to protect sheep by getting
rid Of worthless dogs or taxing them
SO as to provide funds to pay for the
sheep they kill, but he is also jealous
of his reputation as a public official.
So far it has not been shown that in
his district there are dogs not assessed,
and he believes that there are as few
as any man can hope to have. OF
course, some persons have probably
deceived him, but it is from no neglect
of duty on his part.

Great State.man's Secret.

The secret of celebrated statesman's
long life was his systematic way of eat
ing. Every bite of food was chewed
thirty times before swallowing. The
result was he naturally enjoyed good
health. Most men and women bolt their
food, and eat things which were never
intended to be eaten. They become
coStive, have bad complexion, lose
flesh, and are irritable and nervous, and
the first thing they know they are
played out" 1t is gratifying to know
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters cures
stomach troubles. 1t is a purely vege'
table medicine that has stood the test
of fifty years. 1t cures cases which seen
to be hopeless. Sufferers from any dis
order of stomach, liver or bowels should
