The most important development to-

confirmation by Mrs. Annie Adams OF
the story printed exclusively in tho

Senator Brown was engaged to her.
and intended to bring her back from

Mrs Adams points out In an inter-
view given in New York that she knew

ator Brown, and had conditioned her
acceptance Of him upon his making
a. complete and agreeable settlement

The Disposition of Sewage and the
Pollution of Streams.

Every consideration of the public
health and Of economy calls for a change
in the present method of disposing Of
sewage.
The rapid increase in population in
the United States, of which too great a
proportion is concentrating III our already
overcrowded cities, is now taxing the
supply of even moderately pure water.
There is not a city of large size which
has an adequate water supply which it
is safe for it's inhabitants to drink.
While in some instances there has been
an Improvement in quality al we'll as
quantity by condemnation proceedings
in the purchase of large basin areas and
the enforced removal therefrom of all
sources Of pollution and by improved
methods Of filtration, it is a fact that
neither the most careful policing nor
filtration can remove all the dangers Of
infection SO long as the contents Of the
sewers are permitted to empty into our
lakes and streams.
1t Is a sad comment upon our civiliza-
ton and a reflection upon the common
intelligence to know that cities like
Philadelphia, st. Louis, New Orleans
and dozens of other populous commune
ties are supplied with sewage infected
water. 1t is no surprise to read from
year to year the frightful mortality
from typhoid fever and other diseases
acquired from the water supply.
Furthermore, the enormous value of
sewage products when used for enrich
ing the soil for agricultural purposes
has been thoroughly demonstrated in
many Of the larger cities of Europe,
where it is systematically gathered into
basins and pumped through conduits to
be distributed by irrigation bitches over
a large farming area. By this economi-
cal practice the barren sandy plains in
the vicinity of Berlin, which were for
merly considered without value. have

INSURANCE FOR LAWBREAKERS.

Maine Is to have an insurance company
for the benefit of the liquor sellers. 1t is
to pay the fines imposed for violation OF
the prohibitory laws, reimburse its GUS
toners for losses in goods destroyed de-
fend them in the courts and generally
guard their interests.
In this plan is the germ Of a glorious Idea
A few years more and the burglar will go on
his midnight expedition with a protective
policy in his kit Of tools, just as he now
carries a sectional jimmy and a dark lam
tern. The gentle blaokmailer will be de-
Tended in court by a rich and powerful cor
poration. A race Of professional assassins,

tracts with the corporation they ~patronize,
will ply their trade freely and joyously,
relieved of the embarrassing fears and ter
rors Of the future that now detract from
such a calling. Pickpockets, sneaks, bank
robbers, forgers, second story men, graft
tors, yeggmen-all will pay their premiums
and go on their devious ways rejoicing.
The promoters Of the Maine corporation
believe that IL the company spends enough
money fighting each case brought against
it's members, taking appeals always TO the
highest court, practical notification oil
the prohibitory law would result There
Is no reason why such should be the case
with respect to this one law alone. Any
statute might be nullihed by making 1t too
expensive for the State to enforce it. AL
ready taxpayers growl about their bills,
and administrations point, as argument
for their retention in office, to diminished
rates. In fact, there seems to be no reason
why, in the development Of this plan, there
may not be found a complete remedy for
all the restrictions that are now placed
on that portion Of the population commonly
referred to as 'the criminal olasses.'
The most surprising thing about this sug-
gested insurance for lawbreakers is that 1t
has never occurred before to any Of the
enterprising underwriters OF the world.

A Counterblast for Tobacco.
From the Lancet.

FTOW tHB LUNCtl.
1t has often been confidently stated that
tobacco smoke ID a powerful germicide. but
SO far this property has not been assigned
to any one particular constituent Of the smoke.
The composition OF tobacco smoke is OF
course complex. but everybody knows that
tarry oils are a principal constituent, and
certainly many oils are powerfully antiseptic.
Nicotine. again, Is a strong dislnfectant, but
the quantity OF this poison in'tobacoo smoke
Is minute. if indeed it Is present at all. At
least, in a number Of chemical analyses of
tobacco smoke made at different times 1t
was difficult to declare with absolute certain
ty that nicotine was an important constituent.
The oily matter which accumulates In a
tobacco pipe Is decidedly poisonous, but 1t
does not contain any appreciable quantity of
nicotine. the chief constituent being the
very poisonous oil pyrldine. Tobacco smoke
contains a decided quantity OF the very
poisonous gas carbon monoxide. which has
been used for preserving purposes. and which
therefore must possess germicldal prop
critics.
Some simple experiments which we have
recently made would seem to confirm the
s~tituents accounting for the, germicldal, prop
critics OF TOBACCO smoke Is the powerful anti
septic formaldehyde, The amount present
through which a few puffs OF tobacco smoke
have been passed is tested for f9Imaldehyde

appear to depend on the quality and kind
of tobacco smoked. Thus the cigar appears
and the pipe more than the cigarette. Pos:
sibly the peculiarly irritating property OF
the smoke issuing from the glowing end Of a
cigarette or cigar or from the BOWL of a pipe
is due to formaldehyde.
1t has more than once been stated that to-
bacco smokers enjoy an immunity from certain
diseases and the frequent presence OF a pow
erful antiseptic in the mouth. nasal passages,
and sometimes the lun gs las in the case OF
those who f0OlighlY inhale tobacco amOkpl
would to some extent Justify the statement.
When tits considered that In the nose a vast
number of microbes, are hourly deposited
destroyed by the frequent passage of tobacco
smoke through that organ. In the same
way the organisms exposed to tobacco smoke
in the mouth would succumb. Formalde-

Mr.. John Blgelow on MIR. Bunau. varilia's
Canal Plan,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Pardon
me for directing your attention to the mis-
leading title given to a despatch from Mr..
Philippe Bunau-Va rilla to the President,
printed in yesterdays edition Of H Sun.
You entitle 1t. "A Lesson for Panama Blu
nau-Varilla Finds Reasons in Frisco's Dis
asters Against Lock Canal"
Mr.. lila was the author and per-
sistent champion of the lock canal as the
most economical and the most speedy method
OF establishing canal communications across
the Isthmus. He advocated it as an initiatory
measure. and only as such. but Indispensable
to a prompt and economical construction of a
strait without any lock. and large and deep
enough ultimately to float the commerce OF
the world. He advocated the initiatory locks
because by their aid the construction OF the
strait could go on from the very start without
~interrupting the operation and earning power
Of the lock stag &c Of the contemplated water
way. He Insisted from the first. and against
the recommendation Of most Of the con-
~sultative engineers. upon q lock canal to be-
gin at the 100 foot level.
The President, following the advice Of the
minority OF the engineers. recommended
that the lock canal should commence at the
IS foot level. II the work does not pro gress
at a more rapid rate than 1t has progressed
since the Wa Department has been in charge
of 1t there will probably be a call for locks
to commence at q much higher level than.
and long before the Culebra has been cut to.
the 1870 foot level. without locks at the pres
ent rate Of pro gress We need not expect a
sea level canal in forty years.
When the President recommended the
lock canal at the IS foot level understood him
to mean that long before the Culebra was cut
down. even to the 100 foot level. his engi-
neers would know a great deal more about
the work they had undertaken than from the
divisions among them it is apparent they
knew when they wrote their reports. and that
both their eyes and Uncle Sans purse will
be open to the necessity Of following i'm
pllcity the plan Of the work submitted to his
Excellency and his advisers by Mr.. Bunau-

Not a Good Plan.

The plan alleged to have been devised
by President WINTHROP of the Board of
Education and Superintendent MAXWELL
Of the public schools, under which it is
proposed ito give the school children
an opportunity to contribute to the San
Francisco sufferers, should be squelched
Immediately by the authorities. 1t is
bad in principle and would lead to some
unfortunate consequences.
For all who sympathize with San
Francisco and feel they can afford to
give something for the relief Of that
city's people there are ample oppor-
tunities to contribute. 1t is wholly I'M
necessary to use the educational organi-
cation Of the municipality to swell the
fund, and the evils that would result from
an assessment Of the children are very
real and would be unavoidable. The
sons and daughters of well to do parents
would give more than the pupils of poorer
circumstances, and nc rule or request
would prevent this from becoming known.
Childhood is sometimes thoughtless and
cruel. No good that the few dollars to
be wrung from parents through their
offspring might do to California could
compensate for the aftermath Of suffer-
ing and heartburning that a subscription
taken through the public schools must
inevitably bring.
An appeal for help for the earthquake
sufferers circulated in the public schools
should bear the subtitle and to inhict
unnecessary suffering on certain chill
dren.' The plan for n is i'll considered
and ill advised. If its promoters do not
drop it the Board Of Education should
kill it in the interests Of its proposed
victims.
