MR. SUGDEN SHARPLY CRITICISED.
Dr. George Troup Maincll Review*
Hii> Statement About Sewerage
Matters.
Editor Morning News: I have enjoyed
the privilege of reading the communica
tion of Mr. Percy Sugden in your issue of
last Sunday. It is assumed that the pur
pose of all who are interested in this dis
cussion is the ascertainment of truth, and
for its elucidation I ask space in your
columns.
It is well to bear in mind that the long
entertained idea that running water puri
ties itself has been exploded. On the con
trary, it is known that organic matter
when submerged in water, is preserved
indefinitely. For proof see the obstruc
tions in the Savannah river which were
placed there during the revolutionary
war, and have only recently been remov
ed at great cost. See, also, the remains
of the lake dwellers of Switzerland, which
have been recently reclaimed, after sub
mergence, it is estimated of from 7,000 to
pi.eiu years. The reason is simple; the
bacteria of decay and putrefaction are air
breathing plants, and cannot live under
water. Piles are always destroyed at the
water's edge, where air and water meet;
never below the water’s surface.
This being the case, sewage discharged
Into a water course is preserved, except
the portion consumed by fishes and water
plants. Of necessity, therefore, there is a
constant accumulation in the water.
It was hardly fair for Mr. Sugden to
minimize the force of the statement:
‘Tnless he (the municipal ruler) has
ommand of a free sweeping sea, or a
trong flowing river, the chances are
that his neighbors, near or remote, will
Insist on his getting rid of the waste In
some other way than by simple unguard
ed flow,” by attributing It to me, a per
son without distinction, when he knew
It was a declared quotation from Col.
Waring, a man of world-wide celebrity,
and whose “indorsement” Mr. Sugden
says he “is proud of."
Just what, in that general statement,
Col. Waring said "the chances are” will
take place, has taken place, here; for the
beautiful villas which line both shores
of the St. Johns, above and below the
city, are having their water fronts pol
luted by sewage. And I predict that
ere long their owners will ask the Inter
vention of the courts to abate the nui
sance.
The discharge of sewage into the St.
Johns has long been a hobby of Mr.
Ellis, formerly city engineer, now en
gineer of the board of bond trustees.
When Expert Bowdltch was here, the
foul condition of the water front of the
city was so patent that he who ran
could smell. For the abatement' of that
nuisance Mr. Ellis had advised the ex
tension of the sewers to deep water.
Mr. Bowdltch, who, in his report, glossed
every mistake that the engineer who
was instrumental in bringing him here,
had made, w r as asked what he thought
of Mr. Ellis’ plan In reply, he said: “It
will be a safe experiment for a few
years”—which was the best that could
be said for it. I ask particular atten
tion to the fact that, while Mr. Sugden
gives my view of “the cause of the nui
sance along the shores,” he withholds
the explanation of Mr. Ellis, saying,
simply, “it is entirely different." The
conclusion Is lrresistable, however, that
Mr. Ellis admits the existence of the
nuisance.
I know that the nuisance Is caused by
sewage, for within a few months I have
obtained specimens of, the deposit In the
river bed, (which in one place is a foot
thick) from above and below the city, on
both shores, and after exposing them to
the air a few hours, the odor was so of
fensive that they could not be kept in my
ofllce. This fact I imparted to Mr. Sug
den. •
Mr. Sugden says: “In sanitary science
experience always comes ahead of theory"
We are not Informed whether Mr. Sugden
offers this as an original proposition. But
whoever Is Its author, It does not always
find application. The sewer, like steam
and electric motors, was mentally evolved
before it became a fact, and I venture to
suggest that sewer irrigation was a
"theory" before it became an "experi
ence."
However, my printed communication, a
copy of which was sent to you, contained
a number of indisputable facts which
demonstrated that a disgusting nuisance
went “ahead” of any theory I have an
nounced. And it should not be forgotten
that this nuisance, which affects the river
front of 'his city—as Boston’s harbor was
once similarly affected by the same cause
—and extends miles above and below, was
created by a very small part of the popu
lation of Jacksonville—about 3,500.
Mr. Sugden says: “X found that Dr.
Maxwell stands almost alone in his ob
-3' ( tion to discharging the sewage into St.
John’s river.” Dots Mr. Sugden mean to
imply that a scientific question should be
divided by a popular vote of a community
" hi. h is absolutely ignorant of the sub
ject? History shows that Bruno, Galileo
and Columbus, each, "stood alone” in the
advocacy of a grand truth, now universal
ly accepted, and they apotheosized
I must again charge Mr. Sugden with
unfairness. I certainly never suggested
the impracticable, not to say absurd meth
od, of disposal of Savannah’s sewage, by
establishing “a sewer farm located some
where on the Ogeeche* river.” It is
strange that Mr. Sugden should have
thus misrepresented me, for the subject
was freely discussed by us. I did not
speak of the "Ogeechee river.” What I
did recommend was a sewage farm a few
miles south of the city, and the dis
charge of the water of filtration into the
l.tttle Ogeechee, or into the most ac
cessible stream, near by. The water of
filtration is innoxious, and may be safely
discharged into any stream, a3 at Ber
lin, where there is a sewage farm of 20,000
acres, which rendered that city "cholera
proof" when that disease prevailed on
every side. A nuisance is not necessarily
injurious to health, and disease-prbduclng
germs are not always nuisances, in the or
dinary acceptation of that term, or even
appreciable by the senses.
No man has urged the impropriety of
discharging sewage into rivers with great
er emphasis than did Col. Waring in his
address at Columbus, O. While advis
ing the establishment of a sewage farm
there he was asked: “How far the sewage,
it emptied into-the Sciota river would pol
lute that stream?” He replied: ’’To its
fimuth.”—that is, ninety miles.
Without following Mr. Sugden through
his long list of cities in which the sew
age outlet Is at the city front, I will
simply say that the Infection of the
river water supply of several cities men
tioned by him has been the cause of the
in r ,V at * ot . tyi'hoid fever and cholera,
r -dladelphia, Chicago and Munich have
been unenviably notorious for the prev
a.ance of typhoid fever. Munich has
been of late years greatly improved by
b>gienic measures introduced by Penten
,r; an d Chicago is spending millions
ot dollars to rid herself of the danger
ous nuisance on her Jako front. The in
tceted water supply of Hamburg caused
a widespread epidemic of cholera, a few
>ears ago; and the sewers of St. Louis,
where cholera prevailed in 186fi, infected
tne Mississippi river and spread that dis
ease along Us shores to New Orleans.
In a paper read before the American
i üblic Health Association, in 1889, Dr.
tvilvington, commissioner of health of
Minneapolis, said: “In the majority of
our cities this problem of the disposal
of waste matter is still practically un-l
solved, and that it is so is due, not to
he absence of methods, not to the pau
tuy of Inventive skill, nor to lack of
ugetiuity in devising means to this de
sirable end. but in very large measure
to official indifference and popular ignor
ance of sanitary essentials." Again,
speaking a l disc harging sewage Into riv
ers, he said: "No theory of self-purifica
tion of running water will suffice to
dwarf this sanitary crime."
In the last number of the New York
Medical Journal Is the testimony of
some of the closest observers in the med
ical profession to the fact that oysters
and crabs from Infected streams have
caused typhoid fever and cholera. The
discharge of sewage Into rivers wll%
therefore, not only pollute and infect the
stream, but will destroy the oyster and
crab fisheries.
In my Intercourse with sanitary engi
neers, I have discovered that, from ignor
ance of the accepted theory of the causa
tion of disease, they do not distinguish be
tween pollution and Infection. Water,
food, air and soil may be polluted but not
Infected. Food and water may be offen
sive to sight, smell and taste, yet not be
unwholesome, or disease producing. And,
on the other hand, they may be clean,
and pleasing to sight, smell and taste,
and contain disease producing germs.
I am confident that bathing in the St.
Johns, and swallowing the water while
playing and splashing, caused a severe
base of typhoid fever in a boy whom I at
tended this summer.
Sanitation—the preservation of health
and prolongation of life—is the most im
portant study that can employ human
thought, and should be secured at almost
any cost. George Troup Maxwell.
Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 29, 1895.
P. S—A few years ago, being requested
by Mr. D. U. Fletcher, president of the
city council, and since mayor, to state my
suggestion of a substitute for discharging
sewage into St. Johns river, I advised a
sewage farm. After reading my letter.
Col. Waring wrote to me: "You have
struck the key note of success." I “am
proud of the indorsement." G. T. M.
THE 111 1,110 OUTLET.
Some Farther Arguments In Its
Favor.
Editor Morning News: I heard to-day
a criticism on my article on “The Sew
erage Question," published in your pa
per on Sunday last, to the effect that I did
not take into consideration the effect of
the tide in the river and that the illustra
tions I gave, of outlets into other rivers,
were not parallel cases, as the discharge
points were out of the range of tidal In
fluences
Of the cities mentioned In my article the
following have their outlets within range
of the tide: Jacksonville, Brunswick,
Norfolk, Charleston, Liverpool, Birken
head, Toxteth, Garston, Warrington,
W’idues, Remcorn, London, New York,
Washington, Philadelphia, Providence,
Portland, Glasgow, Preston, Hull, New
castle, Dublin, 'Chester, Bordeaux, fire
man Hamburg, Stettin, Roterdam, Ran
goon.
Of the other cities mentioned Memphis,
St. Louis, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Mil
waukee, Lyons and Rome, whilst not dis
charging at points affected by tide, have
their outlets opposite and above the city.
In some cases the whole of the sewage
flows past a portion of the city all the
time, in others a portion of the sewage
flows past the whole city all the day. In
a tidal stream, with the outlet below the
city, under the worst conditions you could
but have a reflux for a few hours of the
day and that only felt for a short dis
tance from the outlet. W’hllst with the
point of discharge .below low water it
would be impossible to distinguish the lo
cation of the outlet either during the ebb
or flood.
The tidal effect of the Savannah river
Is very different from the purely tidal
streams around on the coast. Of the
latter, for Instance. Wilmington river,
the flood tide lasts longer than the ebb,
whilst the only currents are produced
by the inflow and outflow of tidal water.
In Savannah river the effect of the tide
Is to dam up the water coming from above
only to allow It to flow out with In
creased velocity as the tide ebbs. The
ebb tide In Savannah river flows much
longer than the flood, and the currents
are of much greater velocity. The tide
does not flow up the Savannah river as
an irresistable force carrying all In front
of It without opposition, but has to fight
every inch of Its way against a vast vol
ume of fresh water—7,108,992 galldns a
minute—coming down the river.
This opposition of the waters sets up a
mechanical action in the river that is
calculated to distribute and dilute the
sewage in a most perfect manner.
So soon as the tide ebbs the waters from
above become an irresistable force, and
carry all before them to the sea, and
even make their presence felt .some dis
tance out in the ocean.
The tidal action opposite the city is
very irregular, and this very irregularity
is a most beneficial factor In diluting,
oxidizing and disintergrating the sewage.
Brunswick and Jacksonville discharge
their sewage opposite the centers of their
cities without injurious effect.
The idea that discharging the sewage in
to the river at the mouth of the Bilbo
canal will be Injurious to the city on ac
count of the tide Is a plea only worthy of
a man of straw, and no amount of this
sophistical arguing will change the fact
that we have every day, irrespective of
tide, 2,640 gallons of fresh water coming
down the river to dilute and assimilate
each gallon of sewage as it would flow
from the Bilbo outlet.
What if the flood tide should carry up
the diluted sewage to the city? You
would need to sit on the wharf with a
microscope to find any traces of the orig
inal matter. Percy Sugden,
Sanitary Engineer.

MRS. APPLETON’S DEATH.
A Sad Announcement to Many
Friends in Savannah.
Mrs. George L. Appleton, whose death
at Englewood, N. J., was announced in
yesterday's Morning News, was very
well known in Savannah, where she had
a wide circle of acquaintances and many
friends. The announcement of her death
was a great shock to her friends here, al
though It was known that she had been
in feeble health for a long time. Mrs.
Appleton was a Miss Louisa G. Arnold,
the eldest daughter of Gov. S. G. Arnold
of Rhode Island. She was also related
to the Arnold family of Bryan county.
Her marriage to Mr. Appleton took place
at Newport in 1371.
After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Ap
pleton resided at Myrtle Grove, Mr. Ap
pleton’s home In Bryan county, up to
three years ago, when the family removed
to Savannah on account .of Mrs. Apple
ton's health. She leaves one child, a
daughter, Miss Mary Appleton. Mr. Ap
pleton and his daughter have the sym
pathy of a very large number of friends
in their sad bereavement. No information
was received here yesterday as to what
disposition would be made of the body.
Mr. Appleton has a vault at Bonaventure,
but It Is possible that the Interment may
be at the old home of the deceased in
Rhode Island. The deceased was a niece
of Mrs. Dr. J. M. Johnston, and was also
related to Mrs. T. C. Arnold, both of this
city.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1803.
FOVND OLD CIRHENCY.
Some of the Coutlnenful lltlln Dis
covered by Mr. Chita. I, Went.
In looking over some old family papers
and documents recently, Mr. Charles N.
West came across a lot of old scrip that
he at once took to be continental cur
rency. He took It to Mr. W. W. Rogers,
cashier of the Merchants National Bank,
who forwarded It to the treasury depart
ment.
There were seven bills of the supposed
continental currency. Mr. Rogers, in his
letter, asked" if they were really conti
nental currency, and if so, why they were
unsigned, and whose signature was re
quired to make them legal tender. The
substance of the reply he received is us
follows:
"The bills are in appearance, correct
representations of continental bills. I
ain not aware that any such bills issued
as currency were ever sent out unsign
ed. It is probable that these are the un
signed notes printed on blue paper which
are occasionally met with, which were
supplied to banks to compare with sus
pected bills. They are usually dated
July 22, 1776. The amount of counterfeit
money which was in circulation during
the latter part of the revolutionary war
was enormous.” The letter was signed
by J. F. Tillman, register of the treasury.
As to the bills in question they are
printed on leaflets of blue paper and
seem to be so arranged that they can be
put into pamphlet form. There are two
leaves of them, with four bills on each
page, one having been cut off, and are
of the denominations respectively of 120,
180, $4 and $3, the SBO bill on one of the
leaves being cut off.# The bills are
printed only in two colors, red and black,
and the style of typo varied somewhat
for each denomination. Each denomina
tion contain* a different design and mot
to. The bill reads somewhat as follows:
The t'nited States of North America.
Twenty Dollars. The Bearer is entitled
to receive Twenty Spanish milled Dollars
or an equal sum In Gold or Silver, accord
ing to a Resolution of Congress of the 14th
January, 1779. Twenty Dollars."
The motto on the S2O bill Is “vl coneita
tae." All the bills are un.-g v ncd and un
numbered. On the back of thd Dill is a
picture of a leaf, around which is a bor
der. Within this are tjie words “Twenty
Dollars,” and below “Printed by Hall and
Sellers. 1779.”
During the revolutionary war the Eng
lish counterfeited the continental currency
to such an extent that the government
sent out printed, unsigned notes for com
parison. The following is an advertise
ment from a London paper, which at that
time published British official documents
and proclamations:
"Persons going into other countries may
be supplied with any number of coun
terfeited congress notes for the price of
the paper per ream. They are so nearly
and so exactly executed that there is no
risk in getting them off, it being almost
Impossible to discover that they are not
genuine. This has been proved by bills
of a very large amount; which have been
successfully circulated."
Such were the schemes and plots with
which our early secretaries of the treasury
had to deal. This Is only one of
hundreds of instances. The government is
eo beset with Inquiries now about conti
nental currency that it answers all queries
as to its redemption by a printed circular
stating that it is not and never was re
deemable by the United States. By the
act of Aug. 4. 1790, It was recelveable at
the treasury in subscriptions to loans at
the rate of SIOO in continental money for
one dollar In specie. By the act of March
3, 1797, it was declared that said money
should be receivable as above until Dec.
31, 1797, and no longer.
“It will be seen at once from the above,”
the circular concludes, "that such cur
rency has no money value, even if the note
be genuine.
SI. Rogers will keep these notes on file
at the bunk as curiosities. * •

Many Deaths From Cholera.

Geese After Bloomers.
From the Baltimore Sun.
An event of considerable curious Interest
took place In the village of Matamoras, N.
J., on Sunday. A young woman, one of the
"ntw" women in point of fact, for she was
wearing breeches or bloomers, rode into
the town upon a bicycle. Hardly had she
reached the village green when she was
set upon by a flock of geese, who seized
her breeches, pulled her from her wneel
and continued the assault until the vil
lagers came to the rescue and drove the
geese away.
This occurrence will be viewed differ
ently by the old woman and the new wo
man. The old woman, not old In years,
but to distinguish her from the new wo
man, will says at once, that these geese
are lineal descendants of
’’Those consecrated gdese, in orders.
That to the capltol were warders,
And being then upon patrol,
With noise alone beat off the Gaul.”
That these geese, inheriting the tradi
tion of their ancestors who beat oft the
barbarians, thinking a woman with
breeches on must be a barbarian, assailed
her accordingly. But this is a far fetched
idea. It goes to show, however, to what
lengths the old woman will go In denounc
ing this form of attire.
The new woman, on the other hand, ad
mits that the geese attacked the young
lady’s breeches, and declare that no one
but a goose would have done it. The pres
ent bicycling costume, they say, is simply
the revival of old fashions. The ladies in
“The Arabian Nights” wore trousers, and
there ,is good authority to show that the
fashion dates back to the beginning and
was set by Eve herself, the mother of all
living. In one of the early English trans
lations of the Bible, known as the
“Breeches Bible,” we are told of Adam
and Eve that “the eyes of them bothe
were opened, and they sewed flgge-tred
leaves together and made themslevs
breeches.” The custom, therefore, la an
old one, and ever since the days of Eve
the women in many families, where they
have not actually worn the breeches, wore
them in a figurative sense, and do so even
unto this day. It is too late to.raise the
standard against this old custom*although
some do contend that it is a custom more
honored in the breech than in the observ
ance. A recent judicial decision in Arkan
sas sustains tile right of women in that
state to wear breeches, one so attired hav
ing been arrested.
—"My 10-year-old boy,” said the fat man,
“is feeling pretty sore at himself.”
“Why?’’ asked the lean man with the
yellow vest.

of tiie James boys and the like appeal
to his barbarous imagination, and yester
day he bought a book in a yellow paper

CANARIES FOR CONVICTS.
Michigan Prisoner* Keep Them for
Comfort anil for Profit.
From the Chicago Record.
Convicts in the Michigan state prison
have many more favors than those of
almost any other penitentiary in the
United States, and It is the belief of the
management of the institution that for
this reason there are fewer outbreaks
of lawlessness than arc found elsewhere.
Among the favors granted to them here
is that of keeping and caring for birds.
There are fully six hundred feathered
songsters in Michigan's principal penal
institution, all owned and cared for by
the convicts, and as soon as daylight
approaches on bright mornings their
sweet notes are heard 4n striking contrast
to the natural feelings of their owners.
Many of the most hardened criminals,
who, from their general appearance and
history, would not be expected to care
for anything of a refining nature, ten
derly care for and caress their little
pets.
More than three-quarters of the bolls
in the prison contain one or more cana
ries. and they are also found In various
shops throughout the institution. During
the day the cages are hung outside the
cells to give the birds light and air, hut
as soon as the convict returns from work
at night the cage is taken inside.
This practice has been carried on In
the prison lor years, and the officials say
that instead of any detrimental effect
being noticeable, the little songster* have
proved a benefit, us they not only give
the cells a more homelike appearance,
but they also wield a decided influence
In the way of hiftnanizing the most reck
less and hardened criminal.
Besides being permitted to keep the
birds for the sake of their company and
Influence, the convicts are also allowed to
raise them to sell, and many u dollar is
credited to the accounts of the prisoners
from this course. Of course, the convict
handles none of the money realized from
the sale of the birds until he la discharged,
hut it is placed to his credit in the prison
bank.
It is interesting to walk up and down the
prison corridors and note the different
kinds of canaries in the cages, and more
particularly to note the different methods
adopted by the convicts In earing for
their pets. All styles of cages are to be
seen, and, while one bird is provided with
a veritable palace of a home, und all the
luxuries known In the bird world, the one
In front of the next cell will have simply
the plainest wood or wire cage, and only
the ordinary seed anil water holders. This
is also true in the shops, and the character
of the convict can In almost every instance
be safely estimated by the care he gives
his feathered friends.
Through the day the music of the bird Is
hardly noticeable, although It can be
heard more or less at almost any time,
but on a bright morning the songsters are
pleasingly noisy. Ono of the officials who
has been connected with the prison for
years says that when he first came to the
prison the music of the birds in the morn
ing made him wild, but he has now be
come so accustomed to It that the place
would be terribly silent without it.
DAVID AND BENJAMIN.
It Is Sulil That Hill Mild Tlllniuu Will
I'ull Together in the Semite.
From the Washington Post.
"Speaking of Hill reminds me that ho
expects to find an ally and adherent tu
the one-eyed Tillman, who steps Into But
ler’s place from South Carolina. You've
seen Tillman; square and iron-bound as
to jaw; smooth face;- eye as harp and
gray us a dagger.
"Tillman Is a fashion of South Carolina
Chomwell and his fight with Butler was
a plain battle of Roundhead against Cava
lier, only it came laggitagmloag about two
centuries ami a half alter Nnseby, and
Long Marston Moor. And, ns has ever
been the case, the Roundhead won with
Tillman's just as In the rugged case of
Cromwell.
“Hill expects to make a coalition with
Tillman, if Indeed he has not done so
already. Tillman makes a specialty of
his hatred of Cleveland, and plans little
else after he takes his seat beyond as
saults on the white house. Tillman be
lieves Hill will give him aid and com
fort in the drustic campaigns he proposes;
anil if Hill does not receive assurances
of Cleveland’s preference in his favor as
against Whitney and all others in the
coming scramble of '96, Tillman will not
be disappointed.
"Tillman, I’ve no doubt, believes every
principle he professes, yet outwardly and
in what he does he's a vast deal of an
actor. There’s no trifle of humbug goes
with Tillman. Here’s one thing he did:
“The governor's residence at the South
Carolina capital had a lawn in front much
like that which appertains to the white
house. When Tillman look possession as
governor, about his first work was to
cause it to be plowed up and planted to
corn. This, of course, was for the moral
effect on the ‘wool hats,’ as those rustic
adherents of Tillman and Tillmanlsm are
called in Palmetto circles of politics.
“Jack Spaulding, one of the leading law
yers of Atlanta and counsel for several
of the Southern railroad, wks telling me
a year ago of an experience he had with
Tillman.
"Spaulding had called on Tillman as gov
ernor to discuss certain railroad matters
wherein South Carolina was Just then tak
ing a threatening Interest. Spaulding and
Tillman were old acquaintances—old
friends in truth. They got along most
amicably and Tillman wound up cordially
with:
“ 'Weil, Jack. I reckon we won’t fall
out with your roads; what you propose Is
all right. And Jack,’ seizing him by the
hand, for Jack was about to depart, ‘give
my respects to the friends down toward
Atlanta.’
"Spaulding said he would and was Just
bidding the one-eyed son of destiny good
bye when suddenly the door opened and
two long, lean, lank Wool-hats fresh from
the wilderness came In.
“ ‘Set down, boys' said Tillman, as they
silently slunk Into seals like a brace of
Indians.
"When he turned again to Spaulding
that eminent barrister was Shocked at
the change In Tillman's face. Where all
had been kindness and complaisant suav
ity was now dark as a thunder cloud.
" ‘No. sir,’ he roared at the astounded
Spaulding. ‘You may tell your d—d rob
ber of a railway corporation that the
state of South Carolina, while I am gov
ernor, will do nothing, submit to nothing
of the sort, sir. Now go.’
“Spaulding went, and before he had
gone 100 feet the truth dawned on him
and he shook with laughter. Tillman told
him later, ’H—l, you don’t suppose I was
going to set those Innocent Wool*hat to
guessing by letting them , see me part
friends with a d—d railway attorney like
you."
