Justice Harlan.
This gathering tonight he said in

markable in the eyes of a man as old
as L. Little did l think at the beginning
of the civil war to look on a gathering
like this. The white race is the dominant
race in this government and in the world
today. But the negro is making great
strides and l am unable to say how far
he will go. There was'a time in the his
tory of the Anglo-SaXon race when it's
members were little above savages. But
the race has developed wonderfully
Justice Harlan paid high tribute to
Frederick Douglass, who, he declared

NINETEENTH TRIP TO RIO.
Capt. Balano's Ship Makes Brazilian
Metropolis Every Year.

Capt J. w. Balano, master of the
schooner Margaret Thomas, who has
many friends here, has just completed
his nineteenth annual Christmas visit to
Rio Janeiro. with a cargo of apples and
pears from Boston for the Christmas din
ners of wealthy Braziians. He is at
Baltimore, where his vessel arrived a day
two ago.
Each November Capt. Balano loads his
vessel and sails for the metropolis Of the
South American continent. Ready sale is
found for the fruit he takes out
On the last trip 3.4OO barrels of apples
and 400 barrels of pears were buried in
LEO tons of ice. When the fruit was
landed at Rio it was sound and bright
as the day it was picked from the trees
Fourteen of the nineteen voyages of
Capt. Balano were made aboard the
schooner Mabel Jordan. The five last
trips have been in the big four-sticker
Margaret Thomas.
The growth of the Christmas fruit trade
of Capt. Balano's vessel to Rio is shown
by the fact that on the first trip the
Jordan took out 500 barrels of fruit and
on the last trip nearly five times that
many were taken.

the sailing of the Winslow. The ice
aboard these vessels will be used in
icing refrigerator cars laden with fruits
and vegetables bound from the southern
states to the markets in the north.

BOIL THE WATER
HALF AN HOUR

The true condition of our water sup
ply as shown by the recent examina-
tlon made by the State department of
health has proven quite revelation
to our readers. The physicians of
town, especially, who are familiar
with the results of former tests are
surprised to find the showing so bad.
without exception they are of the op-
inion that whether the present cpl
demic of intestinal disorder can he
traced to the water supply or not the
situation is one that calls for the ad-
option of every precaution possible.
Ihey unhesitatingly declare that
lahlIles who neglect to boil river wat
er when used for drinking or for gem
eral purposes in the kitchen are taking
very great risk, indeed. This suo-
gests the question of how long water
should be boiled. DR.. Newbaker. presi.
dent of the board of health, Yesterday
stated that there should be no differ
ence of opinion on this vital point
Boiling undoubtedly renders the water
safe; but to make the sterilization
thorough the boiling should be con-
tinued for half an hour. Other physi-
clans expressed themselves as of the
same opinion. Nothing less than half
an hour will insure that every particle
OF water has come under the proper
| degree of heat.
EDr Newbaker last evening adverted
to the fact that the samples examined
were taken from the water supply on
the 18th inst, after the river had risen
considerably. In his opinion had the
test been made few weeks earlier,
when the water was lower, conditions
would have been found considerably
worse-just as they would be found
better now, when the river is high. In
his opinion under existing conditions,
the maximum of danger exists when
the river hovers around low water
mark. The higher the water the more
the pollution that finds its way into
the river is diluted and the disease
| germs scattered.
From now on a, close stab will be
kept onsthe river Tests will be made
frequently, in regular and systematic
manner, which will show up the water
in its true condition.

Birds Sense of Direction.

catcher that was being buffeted by a

shores alighted on the boat. it took
kindly to the attention paid to it so
