In Philadelphia.
The Parlous Case of q Great American
City's Water Supply.

A queer state of things exists in
Philadelphia, according TO at least one
Philadelphia paper, the Ledger
Most people know that the prevalence
of typhoid fever in that city has been
nothing less than scandalous, and that
it Is owing 10 the city's water supply.
The publication of this supply was
put off IN one way or another until
the exasperated people finally rose up
and demanded filtration. They got it
that is, they got it with reservations.
Two systems, one already in opera
ton and one TO be completed before
long, will supply the regions west of
the Schuylkill with filtered water.
The larger system, at Torresdale,
which will supply the greater part of
the population, is expected TO be in
operation within two years, if work
not yet under contract can be under
taken at once. For this work an add.
tional loan is required, and the Re-
publican city committee and other
official advocates Of the Quay organi-
zation strenuously urge this loan. The
fact of their advocacy is held by
many wise and thoughtful people to
be certain indication Of "graft."
This is a pretty state of things to
exist in one of the largest cities in the
United States The people need good
water; they are ciamoring for it. they
arc in danger of disease and death for
want {" it, and the city is losing mil
lion very year because of the lack
of it; and yet it is practically certain
that nothing can be done without the
cooperation Of certain dishonest off
Gals who intend to get their share Of
plumber no matter what happens '
The people viii have TO make up their
minds either TO get along without FL
tration, or to allow these highwaymen
10 step in and collect their tax.
Unfortunately, this process is 50
common in our large cities, and has
heen exposed so often, that anybody
can foresee what will happen. Rather
than give Up the idea of getting pure
water, the people of Philadelphia will
allow a certain amount of grating"
in connection with the job, unless the
mayor can find some way TO stop the
piundering Of the city. Mayor
Weaver is said to have caused some
f1uttering among the "grafters" by the
determination with which he has had
bis own way in certain reform meas
ures; but there are only certain things
In which mayor has power.

THE
PERSONAL
SIDE
BANKER WHO SKATES.

some people might think it bit un-
dlgnified for staid bankers to enjoy
skating on ice with the same enthus-
lasm as small boy. but this view is
hot held by Albion X. Paris. of the
banding firm of Crane, Paris & co. 1t
Is seldom that MIR. Paris fails to take
advantage of the sport provided by the
elements, and whenever the weather
man is so kind as to give a substantial
surface to the lakes and streams of
water about the District, he can usually
be found mingling with the throng of
skaters
Mr.. Paris finds the exercise most in
MIGRATING. and holds to the belief that
1t is especially beneficial to the man of
business. 1t might be remarked in
passing that Mr.. Paris is an excellent
skater-a fact that has been discovered
by few Of the boys who have tried

WHEN HYAcINTHs BLOW.

When sunless Gays are passing by.
And bleak winds April kissed, will go.
And dsffodils that light the sky

Pink bushes will suffuse the air.
From countless buds that swinging

And spring with shimmering robes will

Her golden torches to and fro.

With unveiled hills, and streams that

with bees and flowers, and soaring
wings.

When hyacinths blow.

EVIDENCES OF INSANITY.

We'll. doctor, do you think that
wanting 20 go to the White House to
see the President is q sign of insauity?'
This is the question put TO a ply
sician, who was testlfying relative u
the mental condition of John s. Tor
bert. and who was cross-examined BY
Attorney u. W. Baker.
Evidence had been submitted by ply
sicians tending TO show that the sub
iect of the investigation was suffering
from mild attacks of phases of insanity
One of the physicians said that Tor
bert constantly expressed a desire to
go to the White House and lay his
troubles before the President. He
seemed to lay much stress on this fact
as Indicative of troubled mental con-
dition
The question propounded the physi-
clan by Attorney Baker, however, took
all tie seriousness out of the matter.
Torbert was declared by the jury
which heard the testimony to be of
sound mind and able to care for him

peat in Latin the words. Remember.

The Suffrage Convention.
The Difference Between the Attitude Of
the Public Now and a Genera
ton Ago.


The woman suffrage convention
now going on in this city is worth the
attention of all thoughtful people for
two or three reasons. No one can
read the history of this movement
without noting the tremendous change
which has, for some reason or other,
taken place in public opinion. The
language which was used about the
pioneers of the movement would now
be considered too vile to print in a re-
spectacle newspaper. Doubtless some
OF this violence was due to the tone
OF the period, which was one in which
great license of speech about public
men was common. There was more
reason to object to women's running
for office in a day when to become a
candidate for any sort of office was to
have ones private affairs dragged
through the gutter, and assailed with
vile words which decent public senti-
ment now banishes from its press and
Its political meetings. Whatever NAV
be the reasons, violent abuse of the
suffragists has now simmered down
into, at the most, mild ridicule of their
supposed aims.
The great difference between the
caricatured suffragist and the rea
one is that which first strikes the OBJ
server of this convention. While the
Utmost freedom of speech prevails
extravagant schemes and rabid rhet-
ORC are conspicuously absent. The
sensation-hunter must go TO some
other organization for his excitement.
The convention is, moreover, one OF
the few women's organizations thor
oughly business-hke and free from
any sort of nonsense or historical
squabbling The reason of this prob
ably is that il is business organiza-
ton, and not a social one. Social life
rests more or less on the maintenance
Of ones own dignity and supposed
consequence. These women are not
bothering about their own conse-
quence. They are here 70 do business.
Some men believe. and with a certain
amount of reason, that women cannot
dc business. Their differences are
drawn from the undignifed SQUAD
bling of some of the women's clubs,
which are, apparently, organized for
the purpose of affording certain idle
women an opportunity to get their
names into the papers. As a matter
Of fact, there are no more business
ike beings than business women.
proof of which assertion is found in
the quiet and effective management of
several girls colleges, which have no
men in the faculty, ard the proceed
ings of this same woman suffrage con-
Veution.
