A bulletin on the history of education in Maryland has been issued by the United States bureau of education. It was com- piled by Dr. Bernard C. Steiner, who char- acterizes the state as the scene of the be- ginning of the great educational activity of Catholic schools. The number and im- portance of the higher institutions of learn- ing in Maryland, says the report, has been too great to justify the neglect that they have received. The early conditions of life in the colony, it is stated, did not favor schools or colleges. Maryland, during its history, has chartered forty-six institutions of higher learning, and twenty-seven of these are in cperation today. Epa Postmasters’ Terms Expire. The terms of eighty-seven postmasters at presidential offices will expire during this month. The most important office in the list is Cincinnati, Ohio.

STRONG EXPOSE OF CONDITIONS A Committee to Visit Congress and Urge Relief. IMPURE WATER, BAD SEWERS The banquet hall of the Shoreham Satur- day afternoon held a good-sized meeting of well-known citizensamong them Henry Willard, ex-Commissioner Douglass, Gen. Van Vliet, Health Officer Woodward, Dr. Billings, ex-Secretary Edwin Wil- letts, Dr. D. E. Salmon, Gen. Parke, W. F. Mattingly, Parker Mann, Ralph Cross Johnson, Harvey Page, M. I. Weller, C. C. Glover, B. H. Warner and John Joy Edson —who assembled to hear Dr. S. C. Busey, president of the medical society of the Dis- trict, upon the subject of typhoid epidemics and conditions and the menace in them at the present time to the peopl+ of Washing- ton. The meeting organized by making Justice Harlan president and Dr. W. C. Woodward secretary. Numerous charts and diagrams illustrat- ing comparative typhoid conditions in va- riovs cities and their relative immunity from epidemics after the introduction of pure water supply end adequate sewerage assisted Dr. Busey in presenting the sub: ject. Water, he said, almost without ex- ception carried the typhoid poison, and those assailed by it took it into their sys- tems either in the water they drank or the food they ate. Thus it was that the water supply of large cities must be looked to for explanation of epidemics of this diseas Wherever the large cities of Europe and America, formerly subject to severe mor- tality from this dread disease, had re- moved the source of contegion by providing a source of pure water from springs or lakes apart from other cities and uncon- taminated by the excreta of communities afflicted by typhoid, they had greatly re- duced the death rate. In Brookiyn, so ef- fective had these remedial improvements becn, the rate is but 1.5 deaths to every 10,000 of population—a ratio so low that it might almest be considered as nil. Wash- ington, on the contrary, presents a situa- tion so opposite as just now to be simply appalling. In the period from 188) to 1885 the ratio was 4.6 to every 10,000 of popula tion; in the period from 1885 to 18) this had increased to And if to this, said Dr. Busey, the’ percentage of deaths re- ported as typho-malarial, which are really typhoid, were added, the ratio would be nearly 9 in every 10,00. This is exceeded in but one other American city, Chicago. by Maps. Reciting and explaining the causes of this excessive mortality from typhoid, Dr. Busey hung up some maps of Washington showing the coincidence of pumps and privies within those parts of the city visited by outbreaks of typhoid fever. There are yet in Washington 14,000 surface privies, the drainage from which is nat- urally toward the sources whence the pumps are supplied with water. Nothing could be more natural as the sequence of effect from such a cause. Where the ex- creta from typhoid patients found their way to the water taken from pumps the cases of typhoid spread and multiplied. ven one case, it was shown, could catise almost incalculable danger. Plymouth, Pa., with something like 8,000 population, some years ago had 1,100 cases Hlestrat: of typhoid and Til deaths, al! from one ca’ which occurred in the home of a mountaineer near a little stream which brought down the city’s water supply. The excreta from this single case, thrown out on the frozen ground and snow, were taken on in the spring to the town, and preduced an epidemic and loss of life that measured in its money would hay built a secure water supply system. The same thing nearly was seen up along the Hudson river a few y Typhoid fever broke out in Schenectad the Mohawk. The disease was down stream to every town below took water from the Hudson river, which the Mohawk emptie: had a water supply from escaped. Washingion is liable constantly from the sewerage of towns on the Poto- mac above here. Dr. Busey urged that steps be taken at once to remove all cause of disease from this source. The 6,000 or more pumps and the 14,000 privies should be legislated out of the city, and every ef- fort be made to protect the capital from the dangers that now menace it. Dr. Johnston’s Letter. into Towns that ack in the hills Rev. from Dr. W. W. Johnston, who teniled to address the meeting, but was un- avoidably absent. Dr. Johnson said: “There are some general statements of fact which I with think shculd be presented 3 much repetition and emphasis as Typhoid fever is the most generally prevalent and m: 1 form of continued fever which prevails in this city. “2. The disease is spread by the drink- ing of wate: contaminated with the spe- cifie poison of t ever; ordinary im- purities, such ay or decayed animal or vegetable matters, cannot produce it. The peculiar poison is contained in the excreta of persons suffering from that dis- ease. . In the case of the Potoi the pollution of the water m pac - take place at any’point, from its source to the inflow of the re One case of typhoid fever has been known to pollute a whole stream, as in the case of the epidemic at Bethlehem, where 8,000 cases and 1,000 deaths were traced to one patient, living miles away from the town. “Multiply one by the number of cases which occur every year along the banks of the Potomac between Georgetown and Harper’s Ferry, and some idea may be formed of the extent of the danger to which we are exposed from this source. As this pollution cannot be stopped by legislation or otherwise, there is but one remedy—the early adoption of some such system for the sedimentation and filtration of the water in the reservoirs as has been proved to be successful in almost eradi- ing typhoid fever in many cities of ce Europe. Contaminated Well Water. “4. Typhoid fever is also spread by the drinking of contaminated well water. The larger number of fatal cases in Washington occur among the poor, who depend wholly upon the pumps for their supply. Well water is contaminated by the saturation of the soil with waste water from the privies within the city limits. About 5,000 of these are reported annually as full to overflow and nearly a thousand as dangerous from leakage and dilapidation. Of the thousands of leaking or overflowing privies, a very large number are receiving daily the pois- onous discharges frcm the many hundred cases of typhoid fever which are con- stantly in the city at any season. From the leaking box to the soil and from the soil to the well the path is an easy and rapid one. The flow of water is always in the direction of the wells, and the occur- rence of rains favors this result. Every well, therefore, In Washington is liable to contamination; actual examination has proved that they are so, and the fact that contaminated and condemned wells have been largely found in the southeast and southwest sections of the city, where ty- phoid fever is most prevalent and fatal, and where there are fewer sewer conne=- tions, proves the relation between leaking boxes, the drinking of well water and the spread of typhoid fever, “All persons who drink infected water do not have typhoid fever, as all persons ex- posed to smallpox and other contagious diseases do not contract them, but there are few families in Washington in which typhoid fever has not at some time oc- curred, and there are none in which it might not occur at any moment. A Matter of Demonstration. “The belief that typhoid fever is dis- seminated by the drinking of infected well water Is not a matter of theory, but of demonstration. One or two among hun- dreds of facts may be cited to show how this conclusion has been reached. In No- vember, 1853, two balls were given on alter- nate nights at a hotel in Cambridge, Wales. | address letters to the committees of the e town of | | situation as Dr. Mackay-Smith read a forcible letter ad in- One hundred apg fosty persons from differ- ent places wene present at these balls. Almost immedigfelyrafter they had return- ed to their homes many of them were stricken with typhaqid fever; finally, of the 140, fifty of them: kecame ili, and of these seven died. There was no typhoid fever in the town at the time, and the disease did not spread there. After careful investiga- tion, the only possible source of the origin of the epidemie,wagi thought to be this: “A guest of tbé hatel had been ill with ty- phoid fever fon.seVeral weeks before the cecasion of the balls he had left the hotel to escape the nviseof the festivities. The discharges from’ this patient were thrown into a cesspooki which was very near the well which supplied. the hotel with water. At the ball thé guests drank this water freely. The fatt of! the sudden outbreak, the rapid spreatP of he disease among those who met together, tnd were exposed to a common influente for a few hours only, leave no doubt ‘that the water of the in- fected well was the means of propagation. (Typhoid fever, its nature, mode of spread- ing, ete., Dr. Wm. Budd, London, 1873.) “A severe form pf typhoid fever occurred suddenly in an orphan asylum at Granville, England, in May, 1879, and thirty-five out of 150 inmates developed the disease. The asylum was in the country far removed from sewers, and there were no cases in the neighborttood: there must have been a local origin. The well water used was clear, colorless, and to #ll appearances above suspicion, but it was found to contain impurities upon examination. The well was in a court yard 2 feet from a cesspool 6 feet deep, and received the waste from the house. The order was given that the water should no longer be used. Other cases oc- curred subsequently. Each person thus taken admitted that she had disobeyed the order and drank the forbidden water. The pump was removed and the fever disap- peared. Value of a Sewernge System. “The sewerage system of a city prevents soil saturation and pollution by furnishing a safe escape for the excreta containing the poison of typhoid fever or other poison, which would otherwise find their way into the soil beneath our houses. “The more general and more perfect the sewerage system of a city the more healt ful will that city be. It would be remov- ing one source of danger to furnish a pure Grinking water; it would be removing all danger to have a clean soil beneath our feet and pure water to drink. “The measures, therefore, which we would unite in urging upon Congress and the municipal government are: 1. The early abandonment of all w within the city limits. The removal of ull box methods of disposing of excreta and the correction of the law so that the making of sewer connections can be made com- pulsory. 3. The introduction of new sewers in advance of other improvements in parts of the city not now supplied with drainage and the extension of the system outside the city limits as rapidly as the growing pop- ulation demands. 4. The purification of our supply of river water by en adequate system of filtration.”” Resolution Adopted. Mr. Francis Colton presented a resolu- tion, which was unanimously adopted, set- ting forth “that, after hearing the able and instructive statements and arguments of Dr. S. C. Busey, president of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia, and the interesting letter of Dr. W. W. John- ston, regarding the urgent and imperative need of the extension and completion of the sewerage system of the District of Columbia, as a means of the prevention of disease and of removal of the imminent dunger which now exists because of the want of proper facilities for sewerage, as well as on account of deficient puritication of the supply of water for said District, it ig the sense of this meeting of citizens that the presiding officer of the meeting sentatives on urging their Senate and House of Repr the District 6f Columbia, speedy and favorable consideration of the imperative needs ofthe District with re- spect to the subject. before set forth; and, further, that the presiding officer appoint a committee of ‘seven members to present such letters to:the cémmittees named, and to take such further action as will, in ‘their judgment, tend best‘ to secure the enact- ment into laws! of the sentiment of this meeting.” é M.

The period of doubt and speculative anxiety which pre- ceded the passage of the Sherman law was productive of a variety of opinions on the probable effects of a premium on gold. Men of equal intelligence differed widely in their deductions. No self-respecting financier could afford to miss the eppor- tunity afforded, for being interviewed on this subject, and many and various were the arguments employed in support of well- conceived theories. From the mass of contradictory evidence the broker was unable to arrive at any satistactory conclusion and determined to conduct a series of interviews himself for the purpose of making immediate and profitable use of a future contingency. Ac- The W cordingly he asked the opinions of such recognized authorities as George F. Baker president of the First National Bank Pierpont Morgan, Russell Sage aud Addi- son Cammack. The an rel of these gen- tlemen represented every phase of the situ- ation from inflation to collapse, and no two were alike. later he met Jay Gould at a meeting of Western Union directors, both men being members of the legislative board of that company, and in the course of con- versation asked the latter what would hap- pen if gold went to a premium. After a moment's careful thought, in which the great wizard reviewed past experiences and the present situation, he replied: “I have been a schemer and a speculator all my life. I have lived almost exclusively in an atmosphere of. finance and have been a conscientious student of the art of dis- counting impending events. To what pur- pose I have used the result of my ohserva- tions a comfortable fortune attests, but you will find men by the dozen standing around saloon bars with their shoes out at the toes, and waiting to be asked to take a drink ‘who can answer your question het- ter than I, for I'll be d—d if I know what will happen.” Sees Brainéd the Doctor.

He has been away from Pekin on leave for the iaSt three months, To a reporter for the Assocjated Pr Mr. Denby said: “The overwhelming defeat of the Chinese armies has been a great surprise. However, I do not think the prospects of the Japanese army reaching Pekin are very bright. “If the troops went by land it would be a long march of two or three hundred miles around the Gulf of Pechili from their pres- ent situation, and it would take eighteen or twenty hours’ steaming for the trans- ports to reach Taku, the seaport of Pekin. And to take Taku would be a serious un- dertaking, for it is very strongly fortified. This is the port where the Br troops met with a reverse on one of their inva- sions of the country.” Mr. Denby thought the prospects of for- eigners getting away from Pekin in case of a sudden attack were not very bright. He said there was no distinction made in the minds of the Chinese between nation- alities. All foreign residents came under the same head with them. Mr. Denby was asked if he thought the United States was well ugh represented by warships in Chinese waters. He said: “There are more United States men-of- war on the station now than there have been for years.
