AFTER FRENCH M4NIACs.

France is perhaps the country in
which the new speed mania is most
raging, though those who see its prev
alence and violence in this country will
probably not think it can be worse any
where. They are going to try to re-
strain it some in France, and they ex-
pect to be able to. Senator de Freyci-
net, whose daughter was hopelessly
crippled in a motor accident last May,
has drafted an extremely stringent
anti-motor bill which he will introduce
in the Senate to-day. It is understood
that NJ. de Freycinet has the backing
of Prime Minister Clemenceau. The
preamble to the bill quotes police re-
ports of fifty accidents daily in Paris
and suburbs since May The bill for
bids a motor car from passing another
in towns Of 100000 inhabitants or over.
A car will be allowed to leave the curb
only to pass a standing vehicle. The
speed limit is fixed-seven miles an
hour in towns and twelve miles in the
country. In case Of accidents the
chauffeur will be fined 5000 for the first
offense, sentenced to a years imprison-
ment for the second and three years for
the third, with loss of his right to run
a car. A special corps of motor police
is provided for.
This looks adequate, but perhaps the
motor interest may. succeed in taking
some Of the teeth out of it. stHl, a Sc

most OF the French do not buy. sell or

Some of the ignorant and obstinate
have been saying that women can't
things or get them done Mrs Isaac L.
Rice of New York rises modestly to
confound the sayers. Mrs. Rices
home is close to the bank Of the North
river, and she got as tired as many
other people did of the unnecessary
noises. But the many other people did
MT have the energy or skill to move
for the abolition of the unnecessary
and illegal noises. Mrs. Rice did. She
started an agitation against the unnec-
essary employment of steam whistles
by the navigators who have occasion
to use that portion Of the harbor near
which she lives. Mrs. Rice proved to
the satisfaction of the officials of the
steamboat inspection service that tug
boat captains and others were employ
ing whistles on all sorts of frivolous
pretexts, to the disturbance Of neigh
borhoods and the destruction of nerves.
Consequently, an order has been issued
which permits the employment of
whistles only under restrictions mini
MIXING or eliminating the discomfort
against which Mrs. Rice protests.
Three cheers and one cheer more for
Sister Rice. She has done much good
and shown that things which may look
impossible may be possible, She is
having much praise and gratitude be-
slowed on her and she well deserves
them.

Perhaps there isn't much use in liv-
ing to be a hundred, but it is mildly
cheering TO know that in order to live
that long it isn't absolutely necessary
to drink rum voluminously and contin-
uously, smoke and chew tobacco, eat
mince pie and cheese just before going
to bed, etc, etc. The Rev. DR.. William
Howe of Cambridge, Massachusetts,,
who has just died in his 1O1st year, at
tributed his ripe and serene old age to
the fact that he had always lived a
sober, righteous and cody life, and had
successfully resisted all the demoraliz
ing temptations which flesh is ordinari-
ly heir to. He was certainly a remark
able man in many ways. He spent
sixty-six years in the service of the
Baptist church In his time he started
several Baptist churches He was a
benefactor of the Spelman school for
girls in Atlanta. 1t is well said Of
him: His real lifework, as men meas
ure it, doubtless goes back many years.
1t must be remembered that he had
outlasted the span of three generations
But his later years were hardly less an
inspiration and were much more a ben
ediction than his earlier years. His
record was one Of missionary service
whether technically associated with
that line of labor, or ministering to his
parish and the community in which it
was located for his field was broader
than his parish or his denomination,
and embraced all with need of help and
uplift who came within reach of his in
duence.
Perhaps one of the aids to Mr..
Howe's long life was his habit Of pay
ing cash or going without. Il have
never signed a check he said last
May land I never allow a bill to run
one moment after I receive the goods,
with the possible exception Of the milk

REFoRMTNG 4 REFoRM.

The civil service reform has undoubt-
eddy been a great and good reform,
and there ought to be more of it. But
it has it's little defects. One of them is
indicated by the method by which
! Francis j. Lantry, New York's fire
commissioner, fills vacancies in the fire
department or makes additions to the
force. He believes that men from the
humber walks OF life make the best
firemen, In talking to the reporters
the other day he said; 4 want truck
men and other strong young fellows
who have lived out in the open They
have the requisite courage and endur-
ance' For this reason he has dis
carded the regular order of the civil
service list In making his appointments
and has used his own judgment. Many
of his appointments have been from
the lower half of the list Because a
man can write q good hand, says
Commissioner Lantry, "is no proof that
he would make a good fireman A
man may be a top notcher at his books,
but when it comes to running up a lad
der he may prove a dub
We don't know how sincere a reform
err Commissioner Lantry is, but what
he says seems to be sensible. Strength,
agility and courage are more needed in
a fireman than literary qualifications.
1t has been observed here in New Ha-
ven that the cultured young gentlemen
Of Yale do not make good assistants to

MAKING IMPROVEMENTS.

Horace 9. Blue is erecting new
porch at his residence on Mill street.
Yesterday morning he tore down the
old portico, which had done service
since the dwelling was built. The old
structure was quite pretentious piece
of architecture but many of the tim
bers had yielded to decay and Mr.. Blue
decided to tear it down and build
along modern lines. The new porch
will be over twenty feet in length, tax
ing in practically the entire width of
the house 1t will add much to the
pleasure of the family occupying the
house and improve the value of the
property
A portico, it would appear, can not
be relied upon to Withstand the raw
ages of time like the dwelling proper
and while the latter is still in good re-
pair the portico or veranda becomes
dilapidated in appearance, detracting
much from the general surroundings.
1t is unfortunate that now and then
property owners are negligent in this
respect and permit old porticos to re-
main long after they have ceased to be
ornamental. There are a good many
streets in town that are disfgured in
this way and the owners would do well
to initiate Mr.. Blues example.

IMPORTANT
ACTION DBfBRRtD

Amos Vastine, a first ward mem Der,
created a stir in council Friday night,
when he informed that body that the
polluted condition Of the river bank
had been reported to the State board
OF health Who it was that had taken
the matter up when the local author
titles hesitated to act was not stated
Just what action council expects from
Health Commissioner Dixon is not
clear. At all events it had not the eff
feet of impelling the members to take
any action in the matter, although the
violation Of the ordinance and the
consequent defilement of the river bank
were threshed over in about the same
way as at the previous meeting. The
attitude of the members was about the
same with the exception of the gentle
man from the third ward, who at the
previous meeting said he did not be-
lieve the printed description, but who
at the last meeting said he had in
vestigated and had found the situation
bad enough. The matter was treated
a little more seriously than at the pre-
vious meeting, but no action was TAX
en- either to effectually prevent the
dumping of garbage on the river bank
or to remove the impurities that are
already thrown on the spot.
1t is worthy of note also that from
other parts Of town, especially, the
third ward, there is much complaint
on the score of bad sanitation. AL
though the first of May is nearly here
it is no uncommon sight to see alleys
| nearly blocked with manure piles and
ashes. Still worse, the cutters on
many of the streets are filled with
waste water of all sorts which flowing
from one spot lies in front of the door
ways of other persons who strive to
keep their premises clean and present
able. Probably those responsible fo1
the objectionable state Of affairs de.
scribed will some day awake to their
duty in the premises.

Former Townsman a Prospector.

A letter has been received from EN-
erson Keim, son of John Keim, the
brick manufacturer. Emerson left
Danville a year or so ago and is now
prospecting for gold in the neighbor-
hood of Manhattan, Nevada.
According to his letter our young
townsman is having the usual expert
ences of the frontiersman or prospect
or. He writes that he is about forty
iilhes. fr44m n Ma fMAtanhattan at new Rlaaffse Rafs
about three weeks ago, his tent being
the third that was struck in the place,
which is now growing rapidly. In
making the journey from Manhattan,
he states that he walked forty miles
with his bedding on his back and a
stick in his hand. 1t was hard trip
that he will be rewarded, as the place
promises to become one of the richest
ever discovered. He has already got
II claims and is looking forward to
fabulous wealth.
Emerson writes that he is getting to
be quite an expert in prospecting and
that he "can now locate a mine with
the best of them =
He finds life in the mining camp full
of charm and he enjoys it very much.
1t is AN usual experience for him, he
says, to lie at night out under the stars
with only a blanket over him and
thirty miles away from every other
human being His only companion is
a mule, which he rides in his prospect
ing tours.
When at the ranch he gets up in the
morning at 3 80 o'clock; at 6 80 he
starts out. He generally puts in full
day returning at 6 p. IN. He rides
thirty to forty miles each trip, examin-
ing on the way all kinds of rocks for
some kind of minerals The life is a
rough one and full enough of adven-
ture to please anyone. The principal
food of the prospector is beans, bacon
and crackers The country is full of
springs and the best of water is OBJ
tanned anywhere.
Wages are high. Unskilled labor is
worth five dollars per day, while mech
anics and the like command eight to
ten dollars. Eight hours constitute a
day.

Will Analyze River Water.

DR.. Cameron, ShultZ, secretary of the
local board of health, yesterday stated
that as soon as the river falls to its
normal level specimen of our hy-
drant water will be sent to the Phila-
delphia chemical laboratory for an
alysis AS indicated by the report OF
Health Commissioner Dixon recently
printed in these columns, MOntour
county has had rather bad showing
as relates to typhoid fever and the
board of health is taking this measure
to see whether the condition of the
water supply has anything to do with
undue prevalence of disease.
To allay all fears it should be stated
that there is nothing whatever alarm
ing in the situation. AS relates to
typhoid fever at present there are even
less cases than during the period COW
cred by DR.. Dixon's report. 1t hap
pens merely that the board of health
is not satisfied that our showing should
year around and it is going to find out,
if possible, what deleterious influences
are at work.
While our filter plant is given credit
for eliminating great deal of i'm
purity from river water, the consensus
of opinion among our doctors seems
to be that it should not be relied up
on to eliminate bacteria. Some OF
these medical men, too, do not regard
it as at all unlikely that during low
water disease grems may be found III
the river here, brought down from up
stream where the sewage from many
towns finds its way into the channel.
Hence, it is deemed best to ascertain
the conditioned. the water by close an
alysis to the end that. if anything is
found deleterious i'll its quality, our
citizens may know how to meet the
condition
