The Disposition of Sewage-
There is an interesting fight pend
ing between the cities of St. Louis and
Chicago. It involves the question of
the right of cities and towns Co make
free use of rivers and streams for tbs
disposition of their sewage, and the
highest courts, and probably Congress
also, may bo called upon to render
verdicta in thsmatter, says the Savan
nah News.
Aa ia well known, Chicago is build*
lag a great canal to divert all of the
city's sewage from Lake Michigan,
where it is now being emptied, into
the Illinois river. The Illinois empties
into the Mississippi, and St. Louie gets
her water supply from the Mississippi.
It is the contention of the latter city
that the mass of Chicago’s sewage,
which undiluted amounts at present
to 30,000 cubic feet < minute and is
constantly increasing, being poured
into the Illinois will inevitably con
taminate the supply from which St.
Louis’ drinking waler ia drawn. Sew
age from other towns is now being
poured into the rivers above St. Louis;
add Chicago’s quota that which now
goes into the rivers, and St, Louis be
lieves the result would be something
terrible. She says she does not want
to be forced to drink any such water,
and that Chicago has no right to con
taminate her water supply. She has
spent $14,000,000 in perfecting a water
system which Chicago ia likely to ren
der useless unless she is restrained.
Obickgo, cn the other hand, asserta
St. Louis is unnecessarily alarmed;
that there is absolutely no danger of
the pollution of the water supply. It
is pointed out that it is 350 miles from
Chicago to St. Louis by the water way
the stream from the Chicago drainage
canal would take. Before traveliog
half of that distance, it is claimed, the
aewage would bo purified by san and
air, and that when the water reached
the in-take of the St. Louis water
works it would be aa pare and health
ful aa that which St. Loais has been
drinking for many years.
Nature, says Chicago, will take care
of the purity of the water; except for
nature's be&ifioent processes of purify
ing streams, every brook and river in
the world would be reeking ol pesti
lential germs. Furthermore, Chicago
says the canal has been under con
struction for a number of years, and
its purpose was never a secret. If St.
Louis had objections to make, she
should have made them long ago. Up
, to the present time Chicago has spent
$30,000,000 on the canal, anrtsbe does
not propose to sink all of this money
merely out of defereuce to the childish
fears of St. Louis.
Thus we see there is room for a nice
and lively fight respecting the matter.
Whether or nut there would be pollu
tion for expert sanitarians, and the
rights of the cities is a question for
the courts and Congress.
Clay as a Stump Orator-
A single piece of ready wit, which
saved Mr. Clay from overwhelming
defeat At a critical moment, affords an
cxaellent example of the demand made
upon the stump orator, says the
Youth’s Companion.
In 1816 Mr Clay voted for a new
compensation act of Congress. It
aroused a tornado of popular wrath
Not even the great commoner could
stand against this, and he sagaciously
reeolved to try and weather it Meet
ing a staunch supporter who had turn
ed against him, he said : "Jack, you
have a good flinblock, haven’t you?’’
"Yes.” 7 -
"Did it ever flash io tbepan?”
"Once it did, but only once.”
"What did you do with it? Did you
throw it away?”
"No, I picked the flint aud tried it
again.” . .
"Well,” said Me. Chy. "I have only
flashed once—on this compensation
bill—And aje you going to throw me
away?”
“No!” cried the hunter, touched in
hia tenderest part. “No, Mr. Chy, I
will pick the flint and try you again
When ail else failed, a simple illus
tration. -drawn from everyday life,
sufficed to reach those brave and hardy
frontiersmen.

What the Thumb Revenls-
“Il is the thumb that betrays the
weakness or strength of the whole
character,” writea Blanche W. Fischer
on "Easy Reading of the Hand,” in
the Ladies’ Home Journal.
“With a weak thumb a hand that
otherwise shows greet possibilities will
be nerveless, unsuccessful, and remain
undeveloped. With a large, strong
thumb, whatever faults or virtues the
subject may have he will never be
petty; be may be either good or bad>
be will never be ordinary.
A large-thumb indicates one who is
independent in both thought and
action, who is ready to take the con
sequences of hia own wrong-doinge,
who ia swayed only by reason, and is
only disgusted and hardened by a dis
play of emotion.
The combination of a large thumb
with a broad palm shows courage to
the point of rashness; with along,
clear bead line, absolute lack of fear,
and great calmness and decision in the
moment of danger.
A small thumb always indicates a
sentimental, impressionable nature,
incapable of forming any very high
aims, or executing work of any value.
The cpinions of subjects are formed
for him, rever by him, although be
will believe himself to have thought
them all out, and will quote them as
his own.
A thumb easily bent back shows ex
travagance of thought, adaptability,
and a tendency to ‘fad.’
The first, or nailed, phalanx of the
thumb represents will power; the sec
ond logic. If the first is long and the
second short the subject will be self
willed and violent, having no restraint
whatever over hia passions. If the
second is long and the first short he
will be logical, calculating, and will
rule every action by reason; but the
energy and desire for action will be
materially decreased. To have a really
good thumb lbs two phalanxes should
be ol equal length ; then reason and
will combine, and the highest results
i for a happy future should be forthcom
ing.”
' An Important Difference.
To make it apparent to thousands, who
( think themselves ill, that they are not af
flicted with any disease, but that the sys
tem simply needs cleansing, is to bring
comfort home to their hearts, as a costive

A Pleasant Entertainment.
Mr. G. LeForest Wood, impersona
tor and dialect reader, will give one of
his enjoyable entertainments at the
Y. M. C. A. building tomorrow evens
ing.
( Dr. W. W. Landrum, pastor of the
■ First Baptist church of Atlanta, in
speaking of Mr. Wood, says:
"I like the dialect diet served for the
Dubhc by Mr. G. LeForest Wood. It
, feeds and fattens my risibilities, draws
' nails out of ray coffin, fits me for seri*
I
! ous work and makes me a better man.
1 God bless this apostle of humor.”
i . .
He Fought.
’ During the late Spanish-American war
■ a certain old colonel who had sewed all
through the civil war and who had -lost
one of his eyes at the battle of Gettysburg,
was very indignant because he was put
k aside as physically incapacitated when he
applied for admission to One of the New
1 York volunteer regiments.
Filled with wrath, he journeyed to
Washington, bent on having a personal
intewiew with the president. He succeed
ed in gaining an audience, and the presi
dent, after listening to his plea, said kindly:
"But, my good Colonel J., you have
only one eye.”
‘‘Just so, sir,” was the prompt re
joinder, "but can’t you see the great ad
vantage of my having only one eye? When
I aim my gun, I will not have to dose the
other.”
He fought at Santiago.—Harper’s Ba
aar.
Gladstone’s Memory.
Mr. Gladstone had such a good memory
himself that he was inclined to be im
patient with those who had not. At a din
ner In London a few years ago he was
sketching, to the delight of the company,
a stirring scene in the house of commons
In the early forties. Lord Granville was
a guest at the dinner and was In the com
mons at the time of the events to which
Gladstone referred.
"Did you take part In the division?”
asked Mr. Gladstone of Lord Granville.
"I'm sure I don’t know,” replied Lord
Granville. “I can’t remember whether I
did or not.”
"Not remember P* fairly shouted Glad
stone. “Why, It was only 48 yean ago. ”
