ARMENIAN ouTRAGEs.

R Y THE outrages in New York the Ar
~ menans have appeared in a new light in
this part of the world There are not many Of
them only about two million in their native land,
but they have managed, by hook or crook to at
tract considerable attention in the outside world
Usually we hear of the Arnenians victims of
Turkish atrocities and prosecutions directed
against the Armenian Church, which is one Of the
oldest in Christendom. Thousands of dollars of
American money have gone to the relief of the
prosecuted Armenians
Now it appears that there are some Armenians
who know well themselves how to slay and to
murder. They are capable of organizing them
selves into a society for blacnailing their fellow
countrymen in the hope OF extorting money from
their more fortunate fellows
The purpose for which the blackmailing is car
ried on is a novel one. The assassns wish the
cash for a patriotic effort to free their country
from foreign yoke In this the Armenans diff
fer from the Italian Black Hand Societies, which
are out for blaclSnail pure and simple. And they
differ from the assassinating anarchists, who do
not demand money for their cause from their vic
Tins But the police should have less difficulty
In dealing with the Armenians than they have in
checking the murderous work of the Italian So
cieties and the anarchists There are so few Ar
menians in this country that the keen-scented
officers of the law ought to be able to get beneath
their plots and nip them in the bud. New York
should not be afflicted with an Armenian peril.

nBELIEFn AND EVIDENCE.

nESTRIcT ATTORNEY JEROME has
- been on the rack as a witness in an exami-
nation in New York State growing out of charges
made against him by New York newspaper that
he has sued for libel Jerome, in his reply to
questions, explained why he did not proceed
against alleged volators of the law Jerome's
campaign speeches, and they were hot ones, were
quoted literally by the lawyer for the defence
during the examination. Jerome, imthe campaign
in which he was elected, asserted that he would
trail corruption into the office of the Metropoli-
tan Street Railway Company if it led there, and
would see that the looters Of the Third avenue
surface road were punished.
Asked why he had not followed the "trail" in
both instances Jerome replied: My statements
were based on current beliefs. My action was
based upon actual evidence before me-" Jerome
as he made this statement, was enveoped in
cloud of cigarette smoke for the inquiry was in
formal 1t might be asked why careful lawyer
as Jerome is presumed to be, should not have
ascertained whether the current belief had any
basis in fact before he sought TO secure popular
favor by announcing that he would trail corrup-
ton to the office OF the street railway company
Just how hard the district attorney followed the
trail is not brought out in the examination ex-
cepting his admission that he had not questioned
President Vreeland, of the Traction Company
According to Jerome the current BELIEF must
have been wrong although it was responsible for
electing him to a high office and for causing the
contributions of the people to flow into his cam
paign fund These contributors think, perhaps.
that Jerome might have followed the trail with a
little more energy.

DRINKING WATER
SHOULD BE BOILED
City BaCteriOIOgist Robin Ad-
v'SeS This Until Filtration
SySttm IS Completed

Bon your drinking water. This is the
advice city Bacteroiogist Robin rlves
out Not because the water is muddy ana
unsightly but this should be done AZ ALI
times, at least until the new nltrat.on
system now being installed. is competed.
Mhile there is no serious epidemic OF
sickness threatened typhoid fever is on
the increase and as an ounce Of preven-
ton is worth a pound Of cure. II will be
well TO follow DR.. Robins advice. II will
be next September before partially filter
ed water will be supplied. and before De-
cember 1905 1t is hardly expected that
the proposed filtration system in Its en-
tirety, Will be In operation insurlng pu,e
water supply.
Ihe Increase In typhoid Is not unusual
Tor this time of year. July and August
being bad months for this disease. But
all precautions should be taken, is the
advice Of Dr. Robin. and by boiling drink
ing water before using will assist greatly
IN keeping the disease down.
The new reservoir at the Weldn farm,
which has a storage capacity Of IS 900 900
gallons Is completed and will be connected
with the preliminary sponge filters at Six
teeuth and French streets as soon as they
are finished. which Chief Engineer Lelsen
OF tho Water Department says will be
sometime in next September. This will
furnish supply Of water while not as
good as when the system is completed
will be a great improvement Of the
water now being furnished.
The present muddy condition Of the
water is due 70 rains and while It is
dirty. DR.. Robins contends that there Is
not as much bacteria as when the water
IN the Brandywine IS low. The less water
in the stream increases the number OF
disease germs. The water may be con-
taminated, however. by the surface flow
during rains from the banks Of the sfrea m
and for this reason, the bacterlologist
cautions the public about the use Of water
unless It Is first boiled.

BUMPER CROPS
IN CHESTER COUNTY
Despite the Backward Season There
Is BountifuI Yield Of Grain.

Despite the Backward Season There
is Bountiful Yield Of Grain.
Farmers Of Chester county are frankly
amazed by the almost phenomenal yield
OF their acres following the backward
spring that caused 50 much gloomy pre-
diciions. The ideal harvest weather that
has prevailed for several weeks past has
enabled the farmers TO make splend d
progress with such forces Of labor as
they could muster and the bumper wheat
and hay crops of many years can now be
regarded as practically safe.
Charles Deuger, a veteran West Grove
farmer, says that in his 81 years. expert
ence he never had such a crop. Like many
he will be forced to thresh his wheat FRI m
the field. his big barn already being cram
med to the roof.
Too Big For Barns.
At the Thomas II. Marvel dairy farm
the two large barns are already stuffed
fun with 35 acres Of heavy hay yet TO
NOW. George a. Spencer is obliged to
tl'i-' the yield OF g ceres Of whea. io
the field finding no room for Il in his
mammoth barn. now stuffed to over
flowing.
Wheat Is running from 30 to 80 bushels
TO the acre and finest grade timothy hay
at two TO three and a half tons. Il Is
quoted to-day on the Philadelphia market
at Sloa2o a ton.
Assures Farmers Prosperity.
New wheat commands so cents per
bushel on the local market. but with Mt.
tie offered Hay is the main standby in
this. dairy community and the heavy
crop. combined with She high price as
sures the farmers a prosperity such as
they have not known since the panic Of
1878
a feature OF this years harvest Is the
iabor-saving machinery used. Harvest
labor at s. per day and board is scarce.
As a consequence, most farmers are us
ing patent hay leaders that load the
wagons in tho field without halting the
teams After being driven TO the barn
they are unioaded by team attached
70 harpoon forks and pulleys.
A happy feature Of the big harvest IS
the small number Of accidents and heat
prostrations.

and as good business proposition the right of
way should be granted.
1t may be, perhaps, that some of the farmers
doubt the reports that the company, which is
presumed to be behind Promoter Endean, is in
earnest in its efforts to construct line. Surely
if the proposed trolley line is really to be built,
any farmer who would throw an obstacle in the
way would be standing in his own light
The suburban trolley companies in Delaware
have not made large profits so far, chiefly because
they have been over capitalized and over bonded
If the proposed new line in the lower part Of the
county is to be conducted without due care as to
the money that must be earned, it will meet the
fate of the other suburban companies-that is
strike the rock of financial troubles.
As we understand there is plan on foot to
place the New Castle and the Delaware City lines
on substantial paying basis, and there ought to
be fair business proposition in the proposed ex-
tension by the Endean company of a trolley from
Delaware City to Smyrna and later on down
through the State Residents Of rural com
munity who have a trolley company at their doors
are fortunate indeed and that there should be un-
explained opposition as noted in the Smyrna
Times is indeed remarkable.

A German professor thinks that the proper way
to deal with Anarchists is TO give them employ
ment and better food so that they will take a
more cheerful view of life under the present con-
ditons. Anarchy he believes, is a condition
brought about by poverty. Alleviate the poverty
and that will be a cure for Anarchy. 1t is very
doubtful whether this plan will be successful.
Many Anarchists do not seek employment, and
many Of them in their daily lives work for good
wages. There are also some well-to-do Anar-
chists, who believe that the present condition of
society is wrong and that chaos is to be preferred
according to their fanatcal notions There is
nothing, however, to prevent the German profess
sor from making the experiment.

desired to be hard in their collections of moneys
due the county. There is no disposition TO op-

Tn. Ground Is Alive.

We are so used to thinking OF the sou
Ms mere mineral matter that 1t comes
ou,te as a shock to find this Is mis-
take. As a matter Of fact, the layer OF
soft mold which clothes the ground In
all cultiyable districts and from which
vegetation springs is actually In great
part a living layer of tiny plants and
animals. Interlacing threads of molds
and fungi, worms and grubs, creeping
insects, tiny root parasites. decaying
leaves and the millions OF bacteria
which spring from them-ali these are
mixed and mingled together for many
inches down below our feet In q con-
fused mass Of life. Germs Of all sorts
swarm In countless millions. Indeed,
Gil the plants that grow and life that
exists on the face Of the earth owe
their being to the fact that the ground
is alive. You take shoveiful OF the

Elephant Life In the Junsiss.

Without elephants jungles would be
virtually impossible. The great beasts
are mixture Of strength and weak
ness, of craft and simplicity. The
paths through the jungle from village
to village are merely tracks from which
the interlaclng foliage has been cut
and thrust aside and the virgin soil
trodden into black mud. After a
rain this mud Is many feet deep, and
no living creature except an elephant
buffalo or q rhinoceros could labor
through 1t. The elephant makes his
way by lifting one foot at a time and
inserting 1t deep Into the slough In
front, withdrawing another with a
sound like the popping Of a huge cork.
Nothing but a ride on IN earthquake
could be compared with the sensation
OF being run away with by an ele-
plant. As for stopping him, some one
has well said that you might as well
try to stop runaway locomotive by
pulling with your walking stick on the
funnel as seek to check an elephant at
such a moment with a goad.

physician, "he has lost control OF bis
body, and what he does Is mechanical.
His jaws snap inyoluntarily, and II he
encounters any object. whether anil

It. But a mad dog does not attack as
does an angry dog. He does not pick
out victim or use any strategy. For
this reason dogs suffering from rabies
are less dangerous than Is supposed.
No grown person need fear them. Tor
all he has to do Is to get out OF the
