PLACING THE CREDIT- How the Movement far Grantee In Tula City Was luansarated. KDITOI: NEWS: To your excellent paper belongs the credit of having started the ire.it effort to relieve the poor of our city.

The editorial in one of the columns last week did the work and aroused the rood people to action. Dimi'g tins win- 'er there were many unfortunate tnes who scanned the papers cverv day to rind something about the poor, but in all monumental meetings and elegant ermons with borrowed help lot explaining the oi Books, with all on all sides to cheek vice and im- norality, i and they were in good time, the poor in general seemed to be forgot- en. Thanks to your good paper, the work will go on now and is in proper mnds to carry it through. Only this; tsd it not been for the ladies' mite so- connected with the different and private charities, there vould have been intense suffering. Umost every day and eyenips the committee could be seen wending i's vay with orders and provisions for the needy rich and poor no one, sometimes even the merchant did not have the lame.

This is the proper way to reach the worthy poor, and who are they? The i-orkingnien's men who have ireat, willing hands, and good ind yet shrink ftom asking for charity; have good housewives arid who do ill they can to make ends meet. These ire the worthy families who would cheerfully work and are waiting eagerly for he long delayed employment. There are those who are called the chronic poor poor unfortunates; children of a destiny, unexplainable. sometimes There are these who cannot ise up, no matter what they do or how they try. Pity them, "ye fortunate ines.

POOR. on Water and Other Questions. EDITOR DAILY Since the publi- of the report from the state board of health condemning the Quittapahilla supply, I have been approached a number of citizens asking me what he local board intends to do, and why this board wishes to suppress the niblication of the same.

For the benefit if all citizens I desire to say this local board of health lias by a "resolution a nonth ago condemned the Quittapahilla vater supply as unfit for domestic use ml a danger to public health and lives, which has been verified by the bacterio- ogical analysis made by Dr. 1'itfield, epresenting the state board, who also as condemned the water and very prob- bly attributes a for-ner epidemic to its uip'irities. Dr. Pilliold while here iu- estigating this water supply stated that the city persisted in using this water ley would become liable for all damages nd IOFS of life that could be attributed be caused bv the same.

The officers say that their ships behaved splendidly, but it was 'vidcnt even to a casual observer that the VCSM had reeeivi-d rough usage at the hands of i he hurricane. It is practically certain, however, that none of them has been seriously injured. It is not prolinule that the maneuvers will be seriously interfered with or retarded by the terrible ex- ijerience through which the fleet passed.

Monday afternoon William N.

Dr. Hersh explained that at the last hour the physician in charge reported him that the case was not membranous croup, tbe doctor having made a mistake and Mr. Hersh thereupon had iheplacarc removed before the burial took plac? A question arose whether the secretary was right in doing so. Dr AValter wai of the opinion that the child died membranous croup.

A lengthy discussion followed on this question, as to how a case of contagions disease should be treated. It was agreed that where contagions diseases exist and the attending physician reports it at the last moment, no public funeral shall be held. Dr. Robert L. Pitfield.

tho bacteriologist, of Philadelphia, who several weeks ago visited the Quittapahilla creek, sent in the following communication: According to instructions received from yon, I visited the city of Lebanon tnd inspected the water supply, and secured samples of the water for analysts. The city wat-r supply is diverted.either from the Quittapahilla creek, which, after the town water is pumped out from it, rnns directlv through the town; or else is diverted from the monctains, four miles to the south. I found that the creak water was extremely bad. It is directly fonled by privies, cesspools, slaughter ho ises, dead fowls and animals, and pigs wallow in it in summer, dish water and all other refuse, including tho dirt from clothes washed in the water, pollute the creek. After receiving all this creek wideu ont into a marsh.

Here the animal and other organic matter accumulates in the grass uud water cress, am pntrities. Bacteriological analysis reveal tue presence of colon baeilirtB; also prottus bacillus. The latter is no tloub the cause of the epidemic of diarrhoea in the town. In the creek there were 549 bacterium per C. to the teagpoonfnl.

In the water from the Sonth Mountain there were 1GT per or G2S to the teaspoonfnl. So Ions as the people of Lebanon drink of thii sewer they may expect diarrhoea, ani even much worse disorders among them. The water ot the creek distributing springs are condemned. BOBT. L.

PITPIELD, Bacteriologist. Immediately after tbe coinmrinication had been read Mr. Carmany, from ti, Second ward, complained of the way in which Secretary Hersh bad treated the communication. He accused the secretary of having given it publicity by making known its contents to a correspondent of a Philadelphia paper before it had been presented at the meeting of the board. It also appeared that certain letter earners had circulated the report ah the city that Dr.

Hersh had received the communication, and they as well as the recretary were criticised for violating their sworn obligations. It was Mr. Carmany's opinion that the report should have been submitted to Mayor Weimer before it received publicity by the press. Mr. Heckman, of tbe "Times," gained permission to speak and asked Mr.

Carmany why publishing the board's proceedings mi lit interfere with the Mayor's action. The latter contended that if the Mavor cleaireii he could give it out for that and tbi.i further contended wt.t4t;j£ report throughout the country wonkl "ive our city another "black e7e." He the board was a body crer.te>! bv the mayor who has a right to RUCU ments before the public get to know the facts. Secretary Hersh made an explanation ancl said that he considered the w-xier a vital question in which ail our citizen' ln ereste at lea- had called at his drag theproable action of tbe be. tie claimed as soon as it proceedings of the property ard did not think i PAYING TROLLEY SYSTEM.
