WATER AT WHOLESALE PRICES.

There seems to be n o reason why thu Board of Works should not make a
special ate for the sae OF aqueduct water to a private consumer taking as much
water daily as a small town. A large manufacturing oncern that contempates
establishing a plant in Newark calculates upon a daily consumption Of about
100000 gallons. The consumption nay reach a million gallons Some con-
cession of price per gallon being asked because of the quantity used N also
considered a proposition that the concern pay Tor 100000 gallons daily, whether
used or not and for a greater moun If usd, a a fiat rtet that will the mini
mum quantity charged for would bring in a ven annually of $4,000 to the
city. THERE is al excess supply from he watershed that goes to vast because
it is not needed. and, If sold IN GOOD terms. tn income car be utilized in pr

Flippancy Easy.

~ critic. at a dinner in Bar Harbor
attacked f~1ippancy In criticism.
"It is SO distressingly easy to be flip
pant" Mr.. Hitchcock said. Without
any difficulty one can take up q beauti-
full work Of art, apply a little fiippancy
to It, and 10, 1t becomes silly and ridic-
ulous.
"A good example Of this is Rushn's
criticism OF Kingsley's beautiful lines
"'They rowed her In across the roll
ing foam,
The cruel. crawling foam
"Ruskin, In a lecture, recited those
excellent lines in a scornful voice, then
made the comment:
"'Gentlemen, the foam is not cruel,
neither does 1t crawl
"Now, thai was very telling in a flip
pant way, but don't the lines remain
beautiful for all?"

SCARE MAD DOGS
IS OVER THE STATE
Americas Has Escaped the
Rabid Animals.

While Americus, fortunately, has
escaped thus far the attack of mad
dogs running at large the fact that
the city is oyerrun with CANNES of all
breeds and conditions from the fierce
bulldog to the fee, all of which prowl
unrestrained, causes one to be care
full. There have been instances here
where children were bitten by mad
dogs, with fatal results and history
may be repeated during this hot sum
mer. An infallible remedy for the
bite of a rabid animal; one that has
been used successfully for years, is
said to be / IL ounces, elecampane
root, bruised and put into a pint of
fresh milk reduced one half by boiling
and taken at one dose in the morn
ing; to be repeated with two ounces
of the root as the second dose next
morning, little if any food being taken
during the day. Three doses, it is
said, is a positive cure. Keep this,
as it may prove valuable some time.

Deafness Cannot be Cared

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the Fustaehian Tube When
this tube is infiamed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
TANNED condition of the mucous sur
faces.

about so more pIain-clothes men,
came to the track on the race trains.
The orders were given orally, but
policeman wrote down the instruc-
tions, and copy of his notes was
pronounced by Inspector O'Brien to be
correct The instructions were as
follows:
Do not allow more than three men
to congregate. If any one is violat-
ing this regulation and refuses to-
nave, lock him up, under the regula-
ton provided for disorderly persons.
Ii you see any one writing or making
notes on a programme, newspaper, or
other paper in such a manner as to
appear to be recording a bet or any
thing that looks like betting, arrest
him. IT you hear any man offer to
bet another man, arrest him. Be
very particular and use plenty of dis
erection"
Though the weather was dismal and
forbidding, a crowd estimated at
$500 gathered at the track to watch
the developments of racing under the
repression of betting, the crowd being
nearly equally divided between the
field and grand stands 1t was said
that the attendance represented 100
paid admissions to the grand stand In
closure. Many of few days ago
were in the crowd, but a great num-
Der of the professional layers and
nearly all of their former clerks were
absent. They kept away from the
old betting ring, and though the
shouts of the crowd and the exclama-
tions Of the spectators when the races
were being run left no doubt that tho
spectators were betters also, the 200
policemen and detectives on duty
failed to observe any case which even
looked suspiciously like bookmaking
or betting Among the horsemen and
the professional betting men there
was some betting of a strictly pri-
yate nature, but when they laid or
accepted price, it was with strict
secrecy and without the exchange Of
money.
