ST. PAuL's WATER SUPPLY.
Vital Statistics Prove the Wisdom Of
.. .,., DRAWING From Lakes.

II GO. -rN HTd"titS U tSlst s o.
Louisville Courier-Journal: The city
of ST. Paul gets it's water supply from
| several Springfield, lakes, supplemented
by artesian wells. This is supposed to
be an exceptionally pure water supply,
and the mortality rate at st. Paul
bears out the superstition.
The st, Paul death rate in 1910 was
smaller than in any of the fifty largest
| cities in the country, with the excep-
ton of Seattle, Wash, n Portland,
| Ore. The ate in 1910 in st. Paul was
11.9 to the 1000, and the claim is made
that in 1912 it was only 1912. The ty-
phoid fever death rate in ST. Paul in
1910 was 1875 to the 100,00 of. popula-
ton, an exceedingly low figure as com.
pared with the great majority of
American cities. According to health
department reports the city is prac-
tically free from typhoid fever, nearly
all the cases coming from country dis.
tricts. "
Z 1t would have been more convenient
andgless. costly for ST. Paul to have
utilized the water of the Mississippi
river, but it was the height of wisdom
not to do so. The big rivers Of
the country are becoming vast sew
ers, and cities which use their water
are compelled to install filtration plants
at great expense. ST. Paul does not
find it necessary to resort to filtra-
ton or other mean of artificial puri-
fcation. The borders of the lakes from
which the water are owned Or
controlled by the city. They are not
inhabited, but the shores of the lakes
are patrolled in order to guard against
contamination of any kind, The lakes
extend twenty miles beyond the city
limits.
st. Paul's low death rate speaks elo-
quently as to the value of a good water
supply. Few cities in the world have
a lower mortality record, and there
can be little doubt that his is largely
due to the purity of the water con-
Sumed.

Society. Marriage Brokers.

Tit-Bits: Moving in the hlghes
ranks of society are men and WomeI
| who. all unknown to their frlends
make their living by earning enormous
commissions as a result OF rahSl
marriages. In some cases, IL is True
a match is made in this way as al
| ordinary business arrangement-tha
is to say, each party to the contrae'
THE prospective bride ana EDIiue.
| groom-are quite aware no" theii
meeting has been brought about, ano
| each party is prepared to pay a hand
| some commission for the Introduction;
but these cases are few and far De-
tween.
What causes the business OF the So
cietv marriage broker to be- greaClY
looked down upon is the fact that most
usually society matrimonial agents
work in secret. They are received at
! the best houses, n their nostesses'
| all unsuspectingly, are made catspaWs
| to secure introductions between deslr~
| able parties. Needless to say in a case
like this there is always one VICTIM
| for either the man or the girl is drawn
| into the match unsuspectlngly' llttle
thinking that the persons who brought
about the introduction may derive a
lifelong income as the result. sums OF
500, 900 and more have been known TO
change hands as commission IN this
way.
Very often the society marriage tout
sets his bait by an advertisement in
one of the most exclusive society pa
pers. Advertisements of this kind are
usually shrewdly disguised, taking the
form, in most cases, of tempting offers
of employment for impecunious gentle
man of high birth. In this way an
interview is arranged, and in the most
artful manner possible the proposal is
put forward to provide the applicant
with a wealthy bride in return for a
heavy commission when the wedding
is duly soIemnized. In many cases the
impecunious gentleman. falls in with
the scheme. Should he not do so. how
ever, a promise of strict secrecy is
usually extorted, and he marriage
broker sets about attracting some
more willing fish to his net. Too Of
ten the society marriage broker is a
member of the fair sex. In this case
few manage to escape from her schem-
Jig, for in arranging matches that
will ensure a substantial balance at
her bankers, a woman Is much more
INSCRIPTIONS than a man.
Needless to say, if a society hostess
knew of the wolves in sleeps cloth
ing" they entertain among their
guests, the society marriage broker
would find it very hard to make a
living for no woman likes to think
that there are men and women in her
house parties who are scheming from
morning till night to obtain commits
sion by bringing about a marriage be-
tween an INSCRIPTIONS fortune hunter
and some wealthy young girl who
while under her roof might, at any
rate, be assumed to be safe from
Vaccinations of the kind.

The coming of the automobile and

In France they do many things we'll.

The roads of each class will he nm

POST SEASON SHARES
 EQUAL NEXT SEASON

Chicago, Nov. 21-The National Baseball Commission has decided that hereafter all players eligible to parti- cipate in post season contests under the control of the commission, wheth- CT worlds or any other series, will receive equal shares of the money awarded to their teams. This infor- nation was made public here yester- day by John Evers, manager of the Chicago club. According to Evers. this action was taken by the conmis- sion when complaint was filed by three Cub pitchers, Jim Vaughn, Earl Moore and Eddie Stack, over the divi- sion of the Cubs money after the Cub White Sox series here this fall
 These three pitchers received only half a share each. The commission it was stated, refused to take action on the complaints but decided that in the future all participating players will be given equal shares whether they have been with their team a full season or not

Negotiations between Thomas F'ogar- national League team, and Manager Jack Hayden of the Louisville Club of the American Association for the ser vices of Rudy Hu1swftt as manager of the Skeeters for next season have been completed, and it was announced yes- terday that Hulswitt will sign a con- tract to manage Jersey City. HulSwitt was the Louisville second baseman all of last season and part of the previous season had covered the same position for the Columbus club of the same league, figuring in a deal in midesea- son.
 F'ogarty started to angle for Huls- witt last week when he attended the convention of minor league clubs at Columbus, and Hayden came to New York to complete the deal Hulswitt, besides filling the managerial berth, will help bolster up the Jersey City inffe1d. Jersey City has had no man ager regularly appointed since the ree- ignation of Larry Schlaffy during the past season.

CAPT. BAKER PICKS
 YALE TO WIN

Capt. "Hobey'' Baker of Princeton, who had reason to become very well acquainted with both the Yale and Harvard football teams during the past couple of weeks. says that Yale has a better team than Harvard, which 1S quite the contrary to what Coach Eercy Haughton thinks.
 The Tiger leader in speaking about ;Xale's chances against the Crimson to- morrow, says: tT consider the Yale team a much better balanced organiza- ton Of course, as a whole, the liar ward bach7eId is superior to Ya1e's bacfs. but in Wilson, Yale has a bet ter back than any Of the Harvard men"
 Tn any event, the two teams should be well matched and will play a game, which a field goal will decide" said Baker. Judging the teams as we met them. the game should be extremely close. Yale has her kicks covered much better than Harvard, not only the ends, but the whole line being down on the man with the ball. In ad- dition allowing for different weather conditions, believe that Yale'e kickers are better than any Harvard has, Their punts are long and high enough to let the ends cover them.

The mayors remarks were inter rupted several times by thunderoug applause, so he continued in a some what facetious manner.
 tI don't like to see so many bach elors in town and you boys connoe sf- ford to marry without decent saIar- ies. There will be a. great many girls who will have to be satisfied with sin gle bliss when they might have been happily married" {"
 The other instance to which he referred in discussing his '-medd7iug tendencies related to the canceIIing of the Harvard-Dartmouth football game last fall.
 That football game was a great asset to this city as a matter of sheer business he declared. "I went up to Manchester, N. Fl. after 1t was cam celed last year, to speak before the Board of Trade there, and found people as mad as hornets because the game had been cancelled. People made that annual occasion a combin- ation of business and pleasure and it gave the men opportunity to do their shopping here. All of our relations hereabouts should be considered, and before that game was cancelled the qu estion should have been asked How will it affect the city of Bos- ton :"
