Smells.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
one of the things which figure largely
in litigation now is the common nuisance
o. smells" IL is comparatively new to
the courts in its modern development, al
though tie term is an old one and known
in the common law from time imme-
mortal. In recent notable case a wom-
an poet complains that she cannot write
successfully because of the smell of fish
oil in her neighborhood and demands
that the nuisance be abated. This seems
logical The muses. are opposed to any
disturbances of the senses which is inhar-
monious To write a sonnet or even an
elesiac poem while the nostrils are filled
with fish oil odors is manifestly impos-
sible if the product is to have mar
ketahle value.
We live very largely by our senses.
Many of the things which We assume or
even assert are the result of rea son are
nothing of the sort. There are five well
known senses and there is sixth
sense which has been variously located
by philosophers and psychologists. But
although the sense of smell seems to
be the one with which We can best dis
pense il is very important. so much so
that volumes OF ordinances and statutes
have been passed TO protect the olfactory
organs in the normal exercise of produc-
ing pleasing impression and preventing
the proper nerves from being offended
by such as produce unpleasant effects.

LONDON MARKETS.

Special Cablesram to The Star.
LONDON, August 16-In the late after
noon the investment features of the stock
markets were fairly well maintained.
Home rails. however. were dropping un-
der unfavorable weather conditions. The
market for foreign securities was some
what unsteady. owing to slight increase
in apprehension with regard to the Cretan
situation. kaffirs were neglected. owing
to the closing Of the Paris bourse on ac-
count of the fete of the assumption.
Copper stocks ruled firm. notwithstanding
the visible supply of the metal showed an
increase Of 1893 tons in the last fortnight.
American railway shares moved cratic
ally and closed officially under best prices.
Except for New York Central, which was
much stronger than the general list, prices
showed a tendency to weaken on the
curb. The Berlin bourse was quiet.

chicasoan Urges Government to Study
-. Systems In Old World. T..
Representative Fred Lundin Of Chi
cago has introduced in the house a
resolution calling upon the speaker to
appoint a select committee Of seven
members to Investigate the various
systems Of old age insurance, old age
pension and annuities now in opera
ton in different nations of the world
with a view, to determining the prac-
ticability Of establishing some such
system in the United States.
Mr.. Lundin believes that by some ar
rangement of insurance, pensioning or
annuities provision should be made
during youth and middle age for the
infrmities of old age.
"Experience has demonstrated" he
said the other day. that there are
feasible methods. The need Of some
such system is greater in the United
States, where the people are IMPROVE
dent, than in Europe, where through
postal savings banks md other gov
eminent encouragement the people
have acquired the habit Of saving and
are not spendthrifts." Il: $s$sa7& 5$ss, d:

ferred to the committee on rules. OF
which, MI. Cannon Is chairman, and

Anyhow Bismarck is spared some
OF the troubles that beset other COM
munit1es. Here we have an unfafl-
ing and inexhaustible supply of good,
pure water brought right into ev-
cry home and with q natural gravity
pressure of over sixty pounds-suf-
ficient force to throw a three-quar-
ter inch stream over any block in the
city. That means fire protection. And
We have a complete sewer system and
the natural slope of the city's ,oca-
ton makes a splendid drainage for
surface water. It lie doubtful II
many Of us appreciate our privileges,
our opportunities. our good luck.
One has to but travel around a lit
tie and come back home to prop-
serly understand many of the advan-
tages Of Bismarck. Up in Minot
there is trouble over septic tank
proposition the city put in a few
years ago. 1t seems that there is
q patent on the process and the city
hasn't squared itself with the pat
ent right fellow. In some cities the
water problem is not and cannot be
solved. A poor quality Of water is
pumped up into q tank, or water

That was a cruel joke some en-
misary of the law and order league
played on the good people of Wilton
and other communities in Mclean
county. In Wilton it seems a clever
young fellow came along, entered
right into. the enterprise of the
business people of that busy little
coal town and trading center, like
wise became an enthusiastic and
popular baseball sport and all round
good fellow. Weeks-a month or
more-rolled by when one day the
sheriff of our sister county on the
north came down upon the people
of Wilton armed with warrants of
arrest, injunction and every other
kind of papers calculated to terro-
rize the law-breaking members Of
society. And where was the popular
young man from-where?. And
thereby hangs a tale that will be
aired In court at Washburn later.
In the meantime there is something
OF drouth in Wilton and some will
be cited to show cause why their
places OF business shall not be closed
for q period of two years-all be-
cause of the frequency and conf
dence in and of the now mysterious
young man. Verify, the way of the
blind pigger is. a tortuous one and
really are the profits in the liquor
trafic worth the risk taken by the
good people who own the premises
upon which these violations occur!
