declared the work of cleaning up
the Hooded homes was progressing
systematically everywhere. Both in

destruction was worst, sewerage
outlets now are in operation, great
ly lessening the danger of infection.

transmission OF communicable dis
eases by polluted water procured in
the flooded districts" DR.. Blues an
peal reads, lit is requested in the
| interests OF the public health that
all drinking water taken from such
districts be sterilized by boiling or
by the application of steam. Water
containers should be thoroughly
cleansed and daily sterilized by the
"pp''N"Iioh VI llNt Sledm.
Your cooperation in carrying
out the instructions is earnestly re-
quested."

clared that the conditions every
where were we'll in hand and that
he had little fear of general sick
ness. Citizens are cooperating with
the authorities in cleaning I'D the
buildings that were submerged.
stagnant water is being pumped
from the cellars and the streets are
rapidly being cleared of decompos-
ed bodies of animals.

Morgan. He was in the banking
business more than half century,
and during the latter years of his
life he was unquestionably the f.
nancial dictator of the United
States. When a panic seized Wall

who came to the rescue Again,
when similar conditions prevailed
in the fall Of 1907, it was Mr..

Aside from these two incidents Mr..
Morgan probably will be chiefly re-

Corporation. The VIOLENT decline
in the securities of the steel trust
during the depression of 10000,
and the storm of criticism that
broke forth from the thousands of
investors in the United States and
In Europe who put their money into
these securities, had been a thorn in
Mr.. Morgan's side, and his chief
ambition in the years that followed
was to see the steel securities I'm

most bitter critics would be forced
to concede that he built the great
trust on a substantial foundation.

Original Commissions.
By w. II. NJ.

ny ne NE
In the Journals of Congress, on file at
the Library of Congress, session, Friday,
November Is, 1776. this appears:
THAT the rank of the naval officers
be to the land service as follows: Ad-
miral. as a general; vice admiral. as q
lieutenant general; rear admiral. as a
major general: commodore. as a
brigadier general: captain of a ship of
forty guns ana upward. as a colonel;
captain of twenty guns, a lieutenant
colonel; captain of ten to twenty guns,
as a major; lieutenant in the navy, as a
captain"
In our continental navy the captain of
a slip was usually given the title Of
commodore when two or more war ves-
sells were placed under his immediate
command. Thus We find that not only
the official rank and title of a commo-
dore in the days OF our infant navy
obtains, but the rank and title of an
admiral. a vice admiral, and a rear ad-
miral were provided for by law.

Gilbert Stuart, is at the Philadelphia
home of Mrs. w. Horace Hepburn, a
grand niece of Commodore Barry. as is
also his commission. marked Number
1.-THE first commission issued under
the present organization OF our navy.
