Songs Halt the Din.

The screeching hand grinders the

vibrant tones OF the gllded cowbeTls
and the car-splltting blasts Of the regu-
lation tin horn were appreciably silencea

way approached the four centres where
the choral programme arranged by
Jacob \ Riis and his associates on the
committee for a safe and sane New
Years celebration was being rendered
from IL o'clock to a minute of mid
night
Thousands OF the 1oyfully nolse-
making people paused in the mad OPP
Grafton of their humdrum devices at the
sound Of the singing OF the Battle
Hymn of the Republic" which was the
first number on the musical programme.
As nearly as possible the songs were
rendered at Herald Square. Madison
square, Union Square and city Hall
Park. the four centres. at the same time.
The familiar tune of John Brown y

set by the choruses. caught the spirit OF
the crowds. ana numerous SNciicu the

There were Jars and discords amid the

preston. chose the unsafe and Insane
method of mere noise But the beauti-
tul rendering of the patriotic and sacred
hymns by the hundreds OF men and
women, both In and out of the prcar-
ranged choruses. generally had a quiet
ing effect upon the people, at least while
they were i'm the zones OF music.

and America directly burst forth as
the final song on the programme at the
musical centres. AUD Lang Syne" was
rendered. and perhaps met the readiest

that prompted the safe and sane com
mittee to insert this familiar requiem
10 the dying year in the final makeup of
the programme. While other tunes dis
couraged the "rattlers" in the hands of
the celebrating populacc and found
many of their voices, nowhere in the
four parks given over to this particular
end of the New Years welcome was the
comparative silence more discreet and
the volume OF song larger than during
the singing Of AUD Lang Syne."

FIGURES THAT FARMERS WIVES
UNNECESSARILY LIFT TON
OF WATER PER DAY.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Water hand
ling. not it's use, is the reason why the
wives of farmers lose their hgures,
their color and the sparkle of their
eyes, according to President Joe Cook,
of the Mississippi Normal College
whose discovery is considered of suf-
ficient Importance by the United
States bureau of education to make 1t
the subject of a special bulletin issued
Yesterday. He declares the average
farmers wife lifts ton of water a
day in conducting her housewifely
duties.
1.-THE getting of the water from the
source of supply to the point of ap-
plication," says Prof. Cook, requires
more manual labor than any other
item of housekeeping. The water for
the kitchen has to be lifted from the
we'll poured into a bucket carried
to the kitchen, poured into a kettle
poured out of the kettle into the dish
pan and from the dishpan out of door
This makes six times the water is
handled, and bucket of water, con
| tanning two gallons, with the con
tanning vessel will weigh twenty
pounds.
when that is handled six times the
total lifting is 12O pounds. The cook
ing of three meals day on meagr'
allowance of water will necessitat'
ten buckets, which will make for cook
ing alone 1900 pounds of lifting pc
day. When to this is added the waite
necessary for bathing, scrubbing an'
the weekly wash it will easily brinl
the lift per day up to ton, and tn
lifting of a ton day will take tn
elasticity out of a woman's step, tn
bloom out of her cheeks and the er
joyment from her soul"

and who, it is rumored, will be a can

election, spent a few hours in Jack
son yesterday afternoon. going to the
capitol. where he had a conference
with Gov Brewer for half an hour.
Whether the visit of Mr.. Tally to
the Governors office had any political
Significance is a matter about which
officials of the state house are indulg-
ing in lively speculation.
Mr.. Tally declined to be interview
ed on the possibility of his entering
the race for gubernatorial honors, and
smilingly waved aside newspaper men,
and began to do little interviewing
of his own on questions remote from
politics.

Joe Cook Has Plan to
Obpiote the Drudgery

the Governors campaign funds were
involved. The Governor, it is said,
knew nothing of his wife's dealing on
the stock exchange until shortly be-
fore the Frawley committee began its
investigation. When he first heard the
revelations his friends say he refused
to believe them, ridiculed them as a
hoax, and branded them as an attempt
to secure his resignation.
Later when it was seen that the
Frawley committee was in earnest in
its investigation Mrs. Sulzer, it is de-
clared, told the Governor of her ac-
tions and volunteered to make a pub
lie statement detailing them. This, it
is said, Governor Sulzer refused to per-
nit When the testimony concerning
the Wall Street transactions was
brought out Mrs. Sulzer again insisted,
according to the story, that she tell
all and save her husband.
On the advice of Judge James Gay
Gordon of Philadelphia, who was Gov
ernor Suffers attorney In the Mignon
Hopkins breach of promise case, and
Attorney Louis Marshall, Mrs. Sulzer
it is said, was persuaded to remain 81

mansion several days, advising both
the Governor and Mrs. Sulzer.
When Senator Palmer, an old-time
friend, visited Mrs. Sulzer Tuesday tc
discuss other matters in which she is
interested, the Governors wife is sait
to have broken down.
In tears, it is asserted, she told Sen
