A Sample of How
Repairs Are Not Made

The city's delay in repairing its sew
er pipes is shown in no clearer way
than by an investigation of conditions
in the alley between Peachtree and
CORTLAND streets and adjoining Peach
tree Inn
Here, on last Monday the sewer pipe
was broken by the wheels of wagons
used to haul dirt away from the ex-
cavation which is being made at the
corner of Peachtree street and the al
ley. For four days, or from Monday
until Thursday, the pipe remained
broken while the sewage from Peach
tree Inn dubbed above ground and
loWed down the alley toward Court
land street, filling the backwards of
residences on the street and overflow
ing into the street for over a block.
In some places in the alley the pois-
onous mass of sewage stood at a depth
of % inches, and boards had to be
placed on the ground so that the load
ed wagons could be hauled through the
alley
Requests Brought No Relief.
Requests to the city sanitary office
brought no aid other than an occa-
sional cleaning up of the street by the
sanitary carts say the residents of the
section on CORTLAND street, and by
Thursday the women of the neighbor-
hood were preparing a petition to
council asking that something be done
TO relieve them.
One of the women, whose home is i'll
CORTLAND street, directly back of the
broken sewer pipe, is now i'll with a
fever which her physician says is de-
veioping into typhoid.
Not the breaking of the pipe. but
the failure TO repair it, is what has
aroused our ire" said one woman in
discussing the situation For four
days We could not leave our windows
open, ana we thought every day that
We would all be down with typhoid"

EMPEROR OF JAPAN

TOXIC, July 20.-Emperor Mutsu-
hito is slowly sinking tonight and one
of the physicians in constant attend

that his majesty could not survive
many more hours.
The ministers of state have been in
almost continuous session today, pre-
pairing plans to meet the emergency
that would be caused by the mikado's
death The imperial princes were all
hurriedly summoned from their sum-
mer homes and arrived here today to
join in the vigil about the royal bed

prince, Yoshito, who is recovering from
an attack of chickenpox, is still con-
fined to his bed, where he receives con-
slant bulletins on his fathers condition.
The stomach and brain diseases from
which the emperor has been suffering
since July IA today became complicated
with uremia. When symptoms Of this
appeared, the physicians practically
abandoned all hope. The emperor mas

a member of the streets committee
for three years, being chairman for
one year. When | left the council
a little over a year ago we had had
complaints, OF course, but nothing
like what confronts council at pres
ent.
We had one man on the commit
tee from each ward and the street
work was done by commissioner
of public works. The committee, at
the first of the year, would visit in
body all streets outlined for pave
ments and repairs. We then would
divide up the apportionment among
the ten wards and notify the COM
missioner of public works what to
do. Each member of the commit
tee then would go out with the
commissioner and inspect the pro-
posed work in hts ward
The commissioner made a report
every two weeks to the committee
of the work he had done and the
work he was doing. If emergencies
arose we changed our program so as

City Tears Up Paving;
County Board Angry

The county commissioners, at their
meeting today, learned with consterna-
ton that the city construction depart
ment had torn up a half-mile of new
paving on South Boulevard, from the
city limits to Intrenchment creek, in
order to lay a sewer
The commissioners declared that the
city had not asked the county's per-
mission before doing this work, and
they were incensed at the action taken.
The county bore the expense of this
paving and must spend thousands of
dollars in doing it again unless the city
"makes good"

SUCCESS AND THE REASON WHY

EVER since began the practice of
- medicine in Atlanta years ago,
have insisted upon honest, conscien-
tious service. That is why my office
has been a success.
First of all we have thought Of
the patients needs. We have stud
led what would be best for the
patient---not try to find the size of
his bank account. We have en-
deavored to give little more than
we promised and have never prom
ised that which could not be made
good.
With such standards and with
the best of laboratory methods and
equipment, have good reason to be-
lieve that my office is superior to
any in the South.
All ordinary examinations and
consultation are free.
Those who appreciate this kind
of service will be welcome to call
for consultation.

father and an Irish mother. In 1905

Inchiquin. He was educated at the

experiments with wireless telegraphy

successful. In 1899 Marconi was
able to telegraph by wireless from
France 70 England. After perfecting
his invention he was able to tele-
graph from Pondhu, Cornwall, 10 st.
Johns. Newfoundland. In 1907 he
established a transatlantic service.
He lives chiefly in Venice and in
England. But for his invention all
on board the Inflated Titanic might

THE TITANTIC DISASTER.

The disaster to the great steam
ship Titantic has stirred all the
nations of the world. On the morn
ing of April Is the ship went down
after striking an iceberg, and Of the
passengers and crew OF 2,1S0 souls
only sos were rescued, according to
the meager reports received as we
90 to press. The disaster, in loss OF
life and treasure, is the most appall-
ing ever recorded in the history OF
navigation, Ancient or modern.
The great steamship, only recently
built, was SS21s feet long and Is said
to have cost $40, 100000. She was
supposed to be unsuitable on &C
count of her many watertight
compartments, but her sinking DEM
onstrates the fact that no craft
devised by man can withstand at
times natures elements. The great
crew OF $50 was powerless to save
but few more than one-third OF the
lives on the great vessel. OF the
passengers in the first cabin were a
number of millionaires and distin-
guished persons. One OF the million
aires reported among the lost was
John Jacob Astor. whose reputed
wealth aggregated $4,000, 900.
One of the lost sincerely mourned in
Louisville is Major Archibald Butt,
aide to the President, who was re-
turning from visit he made to Pope
Plus x, with an autograph letter
from President Taft to the Supreme
Pontiff. Major Butt, in his
younger days, was newspaper re-
porter In louisville, and is remem-
bered for his lovely disposition by
many old-time members of the pro-
fession.
To recount the number of notable
persons who went down to death in
this disaster or to estimate the
treasure lost is impossible at this
time. Press dispatches say that the
Marconi system of wireless teleg-
Apply brought to the assistance of the
Titanic three other vessels, but only
one of them, the Carpathia, was able
to render assistance, taking off $50.
Most OF these were women and chill
dren. The 1900 or more others
went down to death suddenly from
the first accounts received. The
Carpathia is slow-going craft and
was not scheduled TO reach New
York until late Thursday night.
The Titanic was a companion Of
the Olympic. OF the White Star line.
The tragedy occurred off the banks
Of Newfoundland, where floating Ice
bergs are reported more numerous
than ever this year. President Taft
and his Cabinet are holding confer
ences to ascertain II they can not
devise some means of affording
better safeguards to navigators 70
prevent tragedies of this kind.

BEAR IN MIND.

Every Catholic should bear in
mind that Trinity Sunday, which
falls this year on June 2, concludes
the period within which compliance
with the Easter communion precept
is possible. The period allowed is
very generous as regards duration,
and II must be a very lukewarm
Catholic indeed who fails to conform
with the law Of the church in this
matter. 1t is to be hoped there will
be few such in Louisville.
