JUST FOR FUN, Tell me if water cleanses itself running 7 miles, as it was taught me when home, at Albany, N. Y. The water of the Hudson River runs south. Albany takes its water from the Hudson. All the sewage from the City of Troy, Cahoes and even the canal that runs from Buffalo to Troy all empties into the river at Troy, and Troy Is only seven miles north of Albany.

You would naturally believe that all or most of the people of Albany would die of typhoid. Cincinnati, Ohio, takes all its water from the Ohio opposite the city now, and they are spending millions of dollars building the new water works this side of Coney Island, only six miles above the city proper, but It is all city, even above the water works. The sewage from Pittsburg all along the line to Cincinnati is emptied into the Ohio. I do not see but that tlie people of Albany and Cincinnati looks just as healthy as in any other city. G.

The Scranton Automobllists are eagerly awaiting the licensed autonv 'blle show at Madison Snuare Garden the fore part of next l. jiith. Nearly every licensed car in the country and a great number of foreign cars will be exhibited. The licensed cars represented In this city are the Wlnton, Buick, Pope Toledo. Franklin, Pierce Arrow.

The unlicensed cars are the Maxwell and Ford and the Rambler. German automobilists are much aroused over certain proposed liability ihws, wnicn woum make the motorist responsible for all accidents caused either directly or indirectly by the automobile and have determined to flght the measures. As a direct result of this a series of tests to determine the perfection of control of the (liorse drawn and motor vehicle was held at Charlottenburg recently in an effort to establish the greater safety In traffic of the latter. The events were organized by the Automobile Tlkphnlf.nl Mnnlot anA 1 i 1 attended both by Interested persons and members of tine Imperial Diet. The first competition was motor and horse cabs, in four runs.

The quickest pull UD Of the ailtnmnhlln ivna ithi 1 un Ij feet and the longest 22 feet, while the jiuibc reus oest was 26', tet and the Worst 92 feet. A unrnelulncr i. that of the vans, the motor stopping in icei ana ine two Horse vans in 59 ii I I ii I ittti feet. A motor omnibus was pulled up short In 15 feet, its one horse colleague In a little over 40 feet. A motor Are brigade car was run against a one horse vehicle, and drew up dead in 12V4 feet to its opponents 53 feet.

In a test of privately owned cars and carriage the 50 horsepower Opel made a stop a little over 2 feet, as against 26 feet four inches. An electromoblle cab stopped in 40 feet, the horse In two times the distance. With the enormous increase of automobiles in the past few years there has not, been a corresponding growth in the number of accidents caused by automobilists. The number of motorists who take no chances seems to be growing to a greater percentage than might have been expected. One of the motorists' greatest difficulties in changing tires on the road arises from the presence of dirt and mud, of which a certain quantity seems ulmost of necessity to find its way into the outer casing unless great pains is taken to prevent it.

This. however, is not always possible, especially when the roads are very I muddy and the shoe and rim thickly I coated. By the use of a stiff brush. However, which may be carried In the tool kit at all times, the difficulty may be obviated to a great extent and the interior of the shoe thoroughly cleaned before inserting the tube. Dr.

In the case of John Vaughan, administrator against Daniel W. Vaughan and others yesterday, Judge Kelly, as chancellor, made an interesting ruling. It was that the court could not strike out certain evidence and permit other evidence to remain as admissions on the part of the witness. In other words that all of the evidence must be stricken oft and1 that the court could not sift It. The testimony in question was from Daniel W.

Vaughan, who Is suing on a note given him by his father, the late John Vaughan, and which is being contested on the ground that the deceased was Incompetent, by reason of Infirmity, having been 80 years eld fit the time. Mr. Vaughan was testi fying as to the making of the note, when Mr. Price, of counsel for the plaintiff objected on the ground that the maker being deceased adverse witnesses could not testify as to the transaction. Later Mr.

Price moved that the testimony be stricken out, which was done. Then Mr. Price asked that certain admissions be permitted to stand. This was a new proposition. Judge Kelly said that he knew of no doc trine of law permitting a court to sift evidence when objected to in its entirety.

The motion was refused. Attorneys M. J. Donahoe and Thomas A. Donahoe represented the defense.

The argument list was nearly dis posed of yesterday, there being only a few cases outside of the liquor license cases to be heard today. The cases disposed of yesterday were as follows: Argued David G.
