In five cases the disease has been entirely arrested. All this goes to prove that we are building the fence of prevention. We are ed ucating everyone that the league comes in contact with as to the meth ods of preventing contagion and by keeping the afflicted in the open air we are minimizing the chances of spreading the disease. We are caring for about one-eighth of the cases in the city. How about providing suita- ble surroundings for the other seven eighths?

The work being done at present by the Anti-Tuberculosis league is suf- ficently apparent to anyone interest ed in the welfare of the community to prove the need of continuing the work on a larger scale. At present ninety cases of tuberculosis in the city are being visited as frequently as the single nurse can get around and minister to their needs. The league is paying board and rent for some cases that otherwise would be destitute. Over $50 worth of milk and eggs are supplied weekly to pa- tients. The drug bill of the associ- ation is over s15 per month. Seven cases are being supported at Walling- ford at the present time through the influence of the league and twelve cases in all have been furnished an opportunity for cure. Outside sleep ing accommodations have been pro- vided for eight patients. Four cot beds have been supplied and four and half dozen reclining chairs are distributed about among the patients. A class of eighteen meets once a week with Dr Deming and receives instruc-

COMING NEW S5 PIECE.
Countersinking Relief Permits Coins
 Being Piled to Uniform Height.

The hints at Philadelphia, San Francisco and Denver have begun coining a new s5 gold piece, struck on a different plan from any here tofore coined in the world. It fol- lows an idea expressed to President Roosevelt by Dr William Sturgis Bigelow of Boston that to permit the coins being piled to uniform height high or strong relief might be ob- tained by depressing the design be- low the field or face of the coin. in- stead of raising it above, as usual in all coinage operations.
 This would provide fiat field and uniform thickness, the Hat surface taking the wear and protecting the relief, the shape of the depression following the outline of the relief. The same design will be used on the two and half dollar pieces, and all will bear the ''In God We Trust motto.
 While never applied to coins, the countersinking relief is one of the oldest forms of sculpture in stone.
 A new counterfeit in the shape of a s silver certificate has made it's appearance, according to circular letter issued by John K. Wilkie. chief of the secret service division of the treasury department. The new counterfeit Is an imitation of the "In- dian head series of 1899. check let ter D, face number 1.16i, back plate number 1S2. W. T. Vernon, register of the treasury: Charles H.

USESPRlNKLINGC CARTS
Baker KelIy's Suggestion For.
 Distribution oi Water.

The board of public works held a meeting last night and discussed the pros and cons of the water question. The session lasted until almost mid night. It was decided to refer the matter of conservation of the present water supply to committee consist ing of Mayor Thoms, Superintendent Kennedy and City Engineer Cairns with power to act. The vote also gives the committee power to take such steps as 1t may deem best to add to the supply in case the reservoirs should run dry before it rains. Mayor Thoms and the commissioners req lize that the situation is not encour- aging, still none of them looks for serious results, the opinion being general that with little economy on the part of consumers the present supply will last few weeks longer, and If we are going to have any more rain some will fall within that time
 Superintendent Kennedy said that he had sent a sample of the water in the Cooke street reservoir to the state chemist at New Haven and had re- ceived back report stating that 1t is excellent" This shows that wa ter improves when stored in basins where it is exposed to sunlight. The water now at Cooke street has been there for over three years. so that this notion of water deteriorating when confined beyond a reasonable time Is all delusion.
 City Engineer Cairns takes a hope full view of the situation and Is of the opinion that there will be rain and an abundance of it within a few days.
 Meanwhile people are scurrying around looking for water for domes- tic purposes and in some places the article Is pretty scarce. Thomas Kel- ly, the baker, offers suggestion which he thinks would help wonder fully and he would be pleased to have the city try it. The city has several beautiful spring wells on the side hills and Mir Kelly says it would be a great relief to thousands if the sprinkling carts should be pressed into service for few weeks. They could be filled at these springs and then driven to different parts of the city where the water could be filled into vessels by people who find it ex- tremely difficult to get any under ex- isting conditions. It would be quite to the point for somebody to bring the matter to the attention of the board of public works and for that matter it would be within the power of the board to take the initiation it. self and interest the superintendent of streets to use the sprinkling carts in this way until further notice.

PENNY A CABLE WORD
The Father of the Imperial Penny Postage Stamp Wants Conference.

London, Nov 11.-John HennikeI Heaton. the father. of the imperial penny postage idea, addressed a big audience in the Royal Colonial ln- stitute this evening and advocated the transmission of cablegrams at one penny word. He declared that an immediate end ought to be put to the present cable monopoly at any cost, and that the cable companies should be brought out at the market price by the civilized governments of the world. The first step to this end would be conference of the post master generals of Europe and the establishment of the penny a word rate in this hemisphere; then there should be conference with the pos. tai authorities of Aemerica.
 The carrying capacity of the cable lines between the continent and America, MT Heaton declared, was twelve times greater than the amount of business at present han dled and a majority of them were un- scrupulously kept Idle by the cable monopolists. Civilized governments should and would abolish political frontiers for telegraph purposes.
 MT Heaton urged universal tar iff as the best way to clear up misun- derstandIng and bring race in touch with race, thus sileneing the infiu- ence that make for war.

THE TARIFF ISSUE
Ways and Means Committee Talk
 About Oils and Paints.

oIlS I0lHtS.
 Washington. Nov 1.-The com mittee on ways and means of the house of representative to-day con- tfnued its hearings begun yesterday on the schedule for chemicals, oils and paints. These public hearings which are for the purpose of gather ing information useful in the work of revising the tariff, are part of the tariff plan proposed by Chairman Payne on the floor of the house last May. Mir Payne then said:
 We propose to call the whole committee together immediately af- ter the election and invite people to come in here who have knowledge upon the subject to impart such in- formation as they are able to give to the whole committee, republican and democratic
 After those hearings are closed, We propose to call together the ma jority members of the committee, as was done with the Wilson bill, and to ask our democratic friends, or rather to excuse them from atten- dance upon the sessions of the ma jority of the committee while We are framing tariff bill When We have framed it, we will call them again and submit our work to them, and. finally, we will submit our work to the congress. It will be a revision of the tariff; it will be protective tariff; 1t will be maximum and minimum tariff, I believe, putting us on an equality with France, Germany and Russia in that respect. That is the republican programme.
 There was little argument present. ed to the committee at yesterday s hearing to indicate any general de- sire for a change, either higher or lower in the present rates of duty on articles coming under schedule "A" of the Dingley tariff To-day, however, there were indications of conflicting views regarding the pres ent duties on certain paints and colors, 1t being claimed by some that certain of these articles should be reduced. On the other hand. E. IT. Dyer of St Louis. representing the paint manufacturers association, of the United States, stated before the committee yesterday that the eighty or more paint manufacturers belong ing to that association believe that the duties now levied are not too high, considering the comparative cost of labor and material

THE FENCE OR THE AMBULANCE.

THE FENCE OK THE AMBULANCE. "'Twas a dangerous cin. as they freely confessed.
 Though to walk near It's crest pleasant But over its terrible edge there had slipped
 A duke and full many peasant. So the people said something would have to be done, But their projects did not at all tally Some said, Put fence round the edge of the cliff;
 Some, An ambulance down In the valley. But the cry for the ambulance carried the day,
 For it spread through the neighboring city; <. fence may be useful or not 1t is true .5E But each heart brim full of pity !- s For those who slipped over that dangerous cliff,
 And the dwellers in highway and valley Gave pound or gave pence, not to put up fence,
 But an ambulance down in the valley "For the cliff is all right If you're careful they said, And if folks slip dropping, It isn't the slipping that hurts them so much As the shock down below when they're stopping Then old sage remarked, It's marvel to me
 That people give far more attention To repairing results than to stopping the cause
 When they'd much better aim at prevention. "'Let stop at Its all this mischief, cried he,
 Come, neighbors and friends, let rally, If the cliff we will fence we might almost dispense
 With the ambulance down in the valley Oh he's fanatic,' the others rejoned
 Dispense with the ambulance? Never! He'd dispense with all charities, too if he could; But no! We'll protect them forever; ''.. Aren't we picking folks up just fast they fall?'
 And shall this man dictate to us? Shall he? Why should people of sense stop to put up fence
 While their ambulance works in the valley?' But sensible few who were practical too
 Will not bear with such nonsense much longer They believe that prevention is better than cure And their party will soon be the stronger. Encourage them, then with purse voice and pen f And (while other philanthropists dally) They will all pretense put up stout fence On the cliff that hangs the valley" S-
