Water In Old London.

London's original water supply was
the river Thames and every appren.
tice was supplied with water tank
ard for transporting the liquid to the
house. AS early as 1910 there were
water thieves; FOR in this yere a
wex chandler IN Fleet street had bi
craft perced a pipe of the condit with.
ynne the ground, and so convicted the
water into his selar; wherefor he was
jugid to ride thrugh the citee with a
condit upon his hedde." The first Off.
cial water supply for London was made
In Germany. In 1882 Peter Maurice, a
German. made an engine at London
bridge by which water was conveyed
in lead pipes to the citizens houses,
and he and his descendants became
rich on the proceeds.

Is it possible that Republican
newspapers that have in the past
vigorously condemned this pro.
posed subsidy will now rush to its
defense, The most bitter condpm-
nation OF tins scheme has been
given by Republican editors, For
instance, IN December, 1900. the

spellbinders were urging the peo-

items on the Senatorial program
when Congress met would be the
passage of a shipping subsidy
bill which contemplates annual ex-
penditures for thirty years for the
special benefit of a number of rich
men residing in eastern cities.
There is nothing whatever in this
adroit resolution 1.-THE shipping
plank of the Republican national
platform of 10000 about subsidies.
The word subsidies was carefully
omitted from the platform. Nor
was anything said during the cam
paign in regard to the extension of
our merchant marine by a scheme
of public expenditure continuing
for a generation. Nobody eau ie.

was made the subject of fair, can.

aid of the persons interested in such
legislation ever explicitly set forth.

PREPARE THIS YOURSELF.

For thoss who have any form of blood
disorders; who want new, rich blood
and plenty of it, Try this:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-hali
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsapari!la, three
ounces.
Shake we'll in a bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. ANY good pharmacy can
supply the ingredients at small cost.
This is the prescription which, when
made up, is called "The Vegetable
Treatment" by others, the Cyclone
Blood Purifier" II acts gently and
certainly does wonders for some people
who are sickiy, weak and out of sorts
and is known to relieve serious, long
standing cases of rheumatism and
chronic backache quickly.
Make up some and try it.

Now For the Ship Subsidy.
From The roumonrr

FROM The ,ommpnrr
Mr.. Roosevelt. IN n special mes
sage 10 Congress. advocates II ship
subsidy 10 the extent OF cncOur-
aging the building and running Of
lines Of large aud swift vessels to
South America aud the Orient. -
II" puIuts out that the bill pend
iug before Congress provides for
iuur,rru steamships, subsidized TO
tlr extent of over ,JOOO, 600
collars, from the Atlantic cost, all
10 run to South American ports,
also for twrntv-rwo steamers on
the Pacific coast, subsidized to the
extent of > 22j. 900 dollars: some
OF these to run to South America,
most of them to Manila, Australia
and Asia.
HOrc is a subsidy amounting to
50, 72j, 900 per wear. The South
American and Oriental subsidy Is
but m entering wedge, aud with
that subsidy granted 1t will be but
short step to the larger and more
general subsidy, for which the ship
subsidy prCaOters have SO long
commended From every State III
the Union protests against tins
subsidy should be sent 10 members
OF Congress. We have an object
lesson in the exorbitant tariff rates
provided by the Diugley law. 1t
is well established that Mr.. Ding.
lev himself said that the rates pro
vided for in his bill were purposely
placed high in order that they
might be used as a basis for OBJ.
tanning reciprocity treaties with
other countries. SO far Ms concerns
the we'll meaning men who had to
do with the Diugley tariff law,
there was no intention to perman
emily maintain the high tariff rates
concerning which Republican
leaders now say we must stand
pat But once having enjoyed
these exorbitant rates, the subsidy
erabbers refused to surrender them
Habitually these men have taken
advantage of one favor to secure
another and, given the subsidy
which Mr. Roosevelt in his mes
sage formally endorses, they will
not rest until they have made that
subsidy general for seagolng yes
sells controlled 10y powerful men.
1t is strange that Mr.. Roosevelt,
with all his success along Demo
cratic lines, should retrace his
steps and advocate plan, which,
if adopted. would make it all the
more difficult for the people in
their struggle with organized
wealth. 1t is not so difficult to
understand why the subsidy grab
bers move for these privileges al
this time. Schemes like these are
usually pushed forward at the short
session, aud the very fact that at
this moment there is strong pop.
ular protest against special privl-
leges, encourages the promoters to
hope that the very brazenness of
their demand will give it character;
they hope that the people will con-
.clude that this subsidy must be a
righteous one, else its promoters

ORCHARDS HAUNT
IS BLOWN UP

DENVER, Sept. 23.-Fire caused
by an explosion of some kind that
shook the neighborhood for blocks
and caused total destruction to the
interior of the grocery and meat
market long owned and conducted
by the notorious Max Malich in
Globeville. Max .Topliasky, the 49,
year-old son of the proprietor of the
place, H. Toplitsky, narrowly escap-
ed cremation
This is the same building made
notorious by Malich, for it was where
he ruled Globeville and the ignorant
fellow countrymen of his who flock
ed to him with their earnings, and
off of whom, by his high rates OF
usury, he became rich. This was
where he entertained the notorious
Harry Orchard, and where Orchard
swore propositions to murder and
burn were discussed with Malich
The explosives, also made notorious
by the Haywood trial, Orchard also
declared were stored in Malich's
place.

DISCOVER THAT
PRISON Is UNSAFE

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.-The
startling discovery was made today
by City Physician James Watkins
that the new city Jail building at 81
Eddy street is In danger of collapse
and that the occupancy Of it is en-
tirely unsafe. The building was COM
pleted last January by the then Pres
ident of the Police Commission Will
liam H. Leahy, who rented it to the
city for $4,000 year. 1t was oc-
cupied Jointly as temporary city
hall, police headquarters and city
jail. The cells are full of prisoners.
DR.. Watkins today, in pursuance of
his duties as sanitary inspector, Wis
tied the building. He emerged a
very grave and startled man, as he
reported to the building inspector
that the place was in an unsanitary
condition and that an inspection of
the basement showed him that the
tubular iron pillars supporting the
building had "buckled" and looked
as though they were about to give
way An immediate inspection by
the official named confirmed the re-
ports. This evening he officnially no.
tilted the board of public works that
the building is unsafe for life and
should be vacated Immediately.
