WESTON SETS new RECORD.
72-Year-old Pedestrian Finishes
TranscontinentaI Walk.

Edward Payson Weston's record
breaking walk across the continent is
at an end. At 1886 o'clock the other
morning he set foot on Manhattan is
land, crossing Kings bridge over the
Spuytendyvil creek Cheered by thou
sands of persons and followed by a
constantly increasing crowd, he walked
down Broadway on the last few miles
of his journey to the City Hall.
The feat which Edward Payson Wes-
ton thus brought to a happy conclusion
is unique in the annals of sport The
original program called for the cover
ing of the distance from the Pacific
to ths Atlantic-approximately 3,4S0
miles-in ninety walking days. In the
face of rains and storms, in defiance
of heat and cold, undeterred by numer-
GUS minor accidents, and, in the last
stages of the journey, trudging along
in spite of sprained ankle, the heroic
old man has made it in seventy-seven

they were out of sympathy with their

vised the insurgents" to remain in
sympathy with the regular Republi-

should join the Democracy. The ses-

Canine Etiouette.

In their relations with one another
dogs have keen sense Of etiquette.
A we'll known traveller makes this un-
expected remark about a tribe of
naked black men living on one Of the
south sea islands: "In their everyday
intercourse there Is much that is stiff,
formal and precise" Almost the same
remark might be made about dogs.
Unless they are on very intimate terms
they take great pains never to brush
against or even to touch one another.
For one dog to step over another is 8
dangerous breach of etiquette unless
they are special friends. 1t Is no un-
common thing for two dogs to belong
to the same person and live in the
same house and yet never take the
slightest notice Of each other. We
have spaniel so dignifed that he
will never permit another member OF
the dog family to pillow his head upon
him; but. with the egotism Of true
artstocrat. he does not hesitate to
make use of the other dogs for that
purpose.-Henry c. Merwin in Allan

much as possible, DR.. Hunter suggest

furnishing a feature of the opening

planting would be best.

MIR. REARDON'S STATEMENT
T.. B. JENKINS.

h1@' NE-ARDON - SIATMENT.
Health Officer Reardon, when seen
by reporter, says in regard to the
letter Of Mr.. 7. B. Jenkins to City
Council in reference to the open sew
ers on Oakland avenue, that Mr.. Jen-
kins is mistaken when he states that
Mr. Reardon said there was no disin-
fectants being used in the open sew
ers Mr.. jenkins stated to Mr.. Rear
don today that he (Mr. Jenkins) had
understood one of his renters to say
that the health officer had made this
statement. AS a matter of fact Mr..
Reardon says he is able to prove that
he has put all Of the disinfectants in
the open sewers that would possibly
do any good, and that Superintendent
of Streets White has also been having
diSinfectants put in those open sew
ers.
Mr.. Reardon also desires to saw
that he has never voluntarily gone to
any resident of that section of the CITY
to tell any of them that the open sew
ers were a menace to their health.
but that number of the residents of
that section had requested him in his
Official capacity to give them a candid
expression of opinion as to whether
the open sewers were a menance to
the public health and that he felt it
his duty to those citizens to tell them
the truth and say that open sewers
like those on Oakland avenue are a
menace to the public health. He had
assured all who asked him that he
was doing all that he could do, to
safeguard the public health.
The health officer says he has not
played the role of alarmist and has
made no effort to cause the residents
of the Oakland avenue section to be-
come panic stricken as he fears some
people think. He believes that it is q
health officers honest duty not to de-
ceive the people on matters of health
and life.

avenue is not closed. This was re-

MIR. JENKINS COMMUNICATION.
Sumter. S. c., May 20, 1910.
Hon. L. d. Jennings,
Mayor City of Sumter.
Dear Strive have been enjoying
the rare odors from an open sewer
on Oakland avenue now for six
months, and as there seems to be no
immediate prospect Of the sewer be-
ing closed, I thought it advisable to
lay the matter before you from the
standpoint Of a private citizen.
Mr.. e. I. Reardon has notified a
tenant Of the writer's, Mrs. S. A. VIII
Hanson, that the open sewer in this
locality is a menace to health and
life, and Mrs. Williamson has notified
the writer Of her intention of shortly
vacating the premises, which vaca-
ton will cost me the net sum of $40
per month. 1t will also be necessary
for the writer to move his family to
another part of the city, or leave the
city altogether, unless the sewer is
closed at once, for we are informed
by Mr.. Reardon, and we have every
reason to believe his statment, that
every day spent in this neighborhood
Is a grave risk to life, on account of
the total absence Of any kind Of dis
infectant being used, and the hun
dreds of thousands of flies swarming
in and out of the sewer.
1t will be too late to close the hole
after an epidemic of typhoid is start
ed, and I entreat you to take the nec-
essary steps to close the sewer al
once, for if it remains open one week
after the next meeting of Council
Tuesday, the 23rd of May, I shall
without further delay start civil ac-
ton against the city that will fully
cover all costs likely to be incurred by
me in the event the sewer is left open
Thanking you for your immediate
attention to this, and with best wishes
believe me, I am,
Yours very truly,
T. B. JENKINS.
