The State Board of Health, OF
PENNSYLVANIA, has made an inves-
tigation of the fever outbreak at
Butler and Is quite decided In the
opinion that the whole trouble
comes from an infection In the wa
ter supply. The water company
claims to have protested against a
contamination at a point which
seems now to have been the one
responsible for all sickness, but to
have been prevented from taking
proper action by man who owns
the farm whereon the trouble orig
mated. If that be the case then an
urgent modification of law In the
State Is needed whereby company
supplying any community with
water may have authority to inves
t.gate any stream discharging into
the reservoir or the streams which
feed 1t.
That any man may pollute a
stream upon which thousands de-
pend for water, and have such su
preme jurisdiction over the terri
tory whence that stream Issues as
to prevent examination of sus-
pected ditch Is ridiculous. No pri-
vate right carries with it the author
ity to endanger the health OF a
large community. 1t Is also ap-
parent that as the country grows
more populous the pernicious prac'
tice of using the running streams
for the disposal of waste will! have
to give way to something else.
There Is scarcely a large city In
this country but gets Its water sup.
ply from a stream which countless
other settlements use as main
sewer. Moreover. the health board
Of any State should be organ'zE d
on such broad basis and with such
an appropriation OF money that 1t
can be of more service to the rural
sections.
Miss Clara Barton says that at
least $Ioo, 600 will be repaired to
stamp out the typhoid plague In

as authoritative. She has made a
careful investigation of the situa'
ton In Butler and fully corro-
borates the statement of Burgess
Kennedy and the urgent need It
the poor people of the city OF sub
stantial aid, not only for the pres
ent, but to tide them over until
they are able to resume their accus
toned avocations
The latest of the cor 4 citing re-
ports from Butler bears the stamp
of truth, attested by the signatures
of the proper authorities. Il de-
ptcts a terrible situation In that
plague stricken city. 1t Is a cry to
the country at large for aid that IS
desperately needed. Far from
being under control, the epidemic
has broken all bounds and IS
spreading at a terrible rate. 1t is
plain that the most prompt, vigor'
Gus and drastic measures must be
taken to prevent the practical wip-
Ing out of the town and the spread
of the disease to other localities.
The ready response that has
been made to appeals for help
by fever stricken Butler Is an
other evidence of the true
nature of the American PEG
pie. The response has been
prompt, and willingness to help In
any manner possible has been the
one bright spot In the calamity
that has come upon the town. 1t
has always been so with our people
as has been shown by the way In
which they sent relief to Johnston
In It's need; to storm swept Calves
ton, and to other places that have
appealed to the people In the hour
of need. And not only has this
been the case with disasters In our
own land, but with those also In
the far. off countries of the east;
when the famine was at Its height
In India, money was sent aud pro
visions by the ship load; aid was
sent to China at the time of the
disastrous foods there, and on the
whole, no appeal has BEEN made
that has not been needed and the
needs of those In distress ielieved.

Cumberland the line followed the
old national pike; then direct line
was built to Parkelsburg on the
Ohio river; ether companies built
lines from Petersburg direct to St.

merged into the Baltimore x Ohio

A little talk on the subjet OF Civ
ing home merchants the preference
when purchases are to be made Is
timely and pertinent Al any and all
times. The accuracy of this state
mept cannot be donbted. The

His interest is our interest, and his
SUCCESS. be it ever 80 small has some
effect upon our own. The pros
perity OF the home merchants keeps
business channels wide and deep,
so every man in the community can
find smooth and easy sailing. When
he enjoys good trade he is inclined
to be more liberal in bis expendi'
lures. With good business he is in
posititn to pay better salaries to
his employees, and the latter there

and done, we must confess that tue

The South, Its Ruins

Father Ryan, the author Of 1.-The
Conquered Banner" delivered
lecture in Nashville, Tenn, during
the winter of 1878, in which occurs
the following beautiful passages:
A land without ruins is a land
without memories; u land without
memories Is q land without liberty.
A land that wears a laurel crown
may he fair to see; but twine few
sad cypress leaves around the brow
of any land. and, be that land bar
rem, beautlless, and bleak, it be-
comes lovely in its coDsecrated
coronet OF sorrow, and it wins the
sympathy of the heart and OF his
tory. Gowns VI roses fade; crowns
Ut thorns endure. Cavalries and
crucitixions take deepest hold Of
humanity; the triumpns Of might
are transient, they pass aud are
forgotten the sufferings Of the
right are craven deepest on the
chronicle of nations.
Yes, give me the land where the ruins
are spread,
And the living tread light on the hearts
Of the dead;
Yes, give me the land that is blessed By
the dust,
And bright with the deeds of the down.
trodden just;
Yes, give me the land where the battles
red blast
Has flashed Oh the future the form Of
the past;
Yes, give me the land that hath legends
and lays
That tell of the Memories Of long
vanished days;
To tell O. the strife Of the right with
the wrong;
Yes. give me the land with u grave in
each spot.
And names on the graves that shall not
be forgot;
Yes, give me the land Of the wreck and
the tomb
There's grandeur In graves. there's
glory in gloo ON; NJ.
For out at the gloom future brightness
+ is born,
As after the night looms the sunrise
OF morn.
And the graves Of the dead, with the
grass overgrown,
May yet form footstool OF liberty's
throne.
And each single wreck In the warpath
Of might
Shall yet be . rock In the temple OF
right"

The Cooks and the ''Siety''

Every large family iu every large
town in Mississippi, in dealing with
the negro question. must not over
Look the power and governing in
fluence OF the 'siety" that exists
among the men and women. Csu-
ally the membership Is chiefly fe-
male and the duties Ut the officers
are to charge the newly initiated
with tile responsibility they assume
their principal allegiance being to
the ''siety" IN all events over tue
mist, ess Of the house. When "col-
ored lady" in Meridian goes to work
for \ white woman she must report
the fact 10 the next meeting of the
"s,ety" together with such lnforma"
ton relative to food allowance, OPP
portunities for theft, wages, duties
and other particulars essential to
the general lnfor,na tien the ''siety'
must wish OF the Meridian household
in which they may be employed.
Many good cook or nurse girl has
been called off her job not because
she was displeased or that the
wages were not better than she had
ever received before, but because
the '',isty" ordered it, and to be
blacklisted by the ''siety" means
social degradation. II
In conversation with one Of the
most distinguished citizens Of Mis-
sissippi the other day he related TO
the writer an occurrence that came
under his personal observation. He
said his daughter had need for a
nurse and one day 81 reasonably neat
negro woman applied for the job.
She was accepted and offered larger
wages than she had ever made be-
fore. "When can you Gomez" asked
the employing lady, and imagine
her astonisl,ment when the applicant
for nursery honors replied, ''Ah
doau kuo', ,na'am; dc s'ety doan

meet till Friday night and All is got
to Law it befo' dem." From this we
judge that the ''siety" is a little
more autocratic in one portion of
Mississippi than in Meridian, but
housekeepers arc sufferers enough
here as it is.
The only way to relieve the stu
alton is for the ladies of Meridian
homes to shut down positively upon
the bucket brigade. II every wo-
man in this city who ppesides over
home will leave her crochet an6
fancy work basket long enough to
walk into tile kitchen and hand the
cook out the dinner and stay until
the food remaining from the meal
just quilted be put under, key with
in u week there will not be q dozen
cooks in the city at work, but star
walton will drive them back and
they will be taught most valuable
lesson. A right claimed by the
cooks is 10 take all that ia left on
the table, and il that is insufficient
to support big buck negro at home
to take what is left in the pantry
and stOreroom. These are the COM
prehensive advantages which the
average cook has an eye to and
which the ''siety" insists must ex'
it in every home where member
works.
A little c" operation between tile
white women of Meridian and the
police force will destroy the numer-
Gus societies existing among the
colored help and will serve to start
good many lazy coons to WORK;
but without the ladies Themselves
take the initiative and give some
pers onal attention to the protection
of their groceries the police are

Union Vet. Saved by
Confederate Vets.

Augusta. Ca, May 3.-Confed-
crate Veterans yesterday saved
from the penitentiary an aged
Federal Veteran, who had beer
onvicted of burglary. The Fed
eral Veteran is George Moore, re-
Gently from Kentucky, who had
been convicted of entering a room,
taking watch and p.wning it. \"
his statement to the court Moore,
pray-headed and limping, stated be
was a Urion Veteran but had fallen
through drink. There we're a num-
her of Confederate Veterans on the
Jury, and in returning their verdict
of guilty they recommended mercy.
Judge VIM. T.. Cary, himself a
Confederate survivor, had sent for
Postmaster Smythe Federal Vcte-
ran, and the latter stated that the
prisoner had given evidence that
he was a member of the Union
Veterans Union, and be must have
served four years to have gained
membership. Tbereupon Judge
Gary SAID to the prisoner: 81 hne

Smytbe's hand went down into his
pocket, but Sheriff John W. Clark.

and holding ny dollar said, 81

s.Then the prisoner is discharged,
announced the judge and the gray
haired veteran hobbled out with
tears in his eyes.
