TWENTY MILLIONS ron SEWER

Baltimore is completing S2O-
oOOOO0 sewer system. which is said
IN be the most modern and scien-
tific in the world-the latest word
in sewage disposal. 1t ought to be
at the price. Yes. II the system Is
all that is claimed for it The mon
ey has been wisely expended:
there Is no estimating the lives
or the expenditures in dollars and
cents. for doctors and drugs il will
save. The increasing attention paid
to sanitation is one of the note
worthy signs OF the times. The
main sewers in the Baltimore sys-
tenn are 50 large that an automo-
bile can be driven through them.
Pumps. gravity ana ssphOns will
all be used TO run the sewage
through the giant mains to huge
disposal plant. from which 1t will
be discharged into the Black river
30 per cent pure.

THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

Somebody has calculated that
Chicago is damaged to the amount
of SlS,O0O,0OO a year. and that S.
100000 of this sum must be charg-
ed against the railroads. Every
family in Chicago is considered to
be put to an expense Of something
like Si5 a year by the smoke that
is belched out Of locomotives with
in the city limits The city would
have an active volcano if the Gin
ders thrown into the air by loco
motives every "a hours fell at one
time from one crater for they ag-
gregate no less than $50 tons. The
property and health are injured by
this continuous outpOur. The clear
ly-indicated remedy says the New
York Evening Post, is electrified
ton OF the railroads within the city
limits. and the larger use Of smoke
consumers for factories.
But that would do away with on
~ half the nuisance. Not until
cities establish electric heating
plants and furnish people with the
electricity at cost is the smoke nui-
sance fully overcome. If this is
not practical at present. il will be-
some 80 in the near future. Elec
tricily does not cost a great deal
when the plant is built, and wei
presume every owner of home
would gladly pay his share for al
general heating plant In order toll

will be charged for the 3O-ball con- test, and in the five-string champion ship no entrance fee will be required. All money received from entrance fees will be paid back to the bowlers in prize monies. The committee in charge of the tournament are Timothy Buckley, R. M. Fisk and E. D. Tufts. Alley attaches are barred from all in- dividual contests and are only allowed to roll in the two and three-man teams, when only one employe is al- lowed in any of these combinations In these events a change of one man constitutes a new team. The prizes are as follows: Individual three strings, first $2, second $1.5O, third $1, fourth soc; two-man team, first $6, second $4, third $3, fourth $2, fifth $1. 50, sixth $1, seventh soc; threeman- team, first $9, second $6, third $5, fourth $4, fifth $2, sixth $1, making total of $50. Last year the tournament started with the same amount of prizes, but the entrance fee being so large over $7O was paid out in prizes at the finish, and from all appearances this years tournament should be larger than last year. A number of the bowlers are planning to go to Springfield some night next week to take part in the suburban tournament.
