The news of his death which came over the cables from Na- ples Tuesday revealed the serious In- roads. upen his vitality which had leen by the attack of pleurisy in New Yok last wdek from which only his Indomitable will seemingly accom- plished a recovery. For days he trod upon the borderland with .an anxious world waiting and hoping for' his re- covery, and When at length he was able te sall for his beloved Italy rumors and counter-ramors flew thick and fast bis cenditlon.

Is it too much to, be- lieve that the great tenor at least sensed the impending future and had resolved that if death were to come it should under the skies and among the people from whom the plaudits of the world had never been able to Wean his affcc- tions? Born Feb. 25, 1873, in humble circum- stances but with a God-given endow ment, he achieved a success that made his mame a household word around the world. ‘It is related of him that as boy of 7 or 8 his voice was of beauty that mother frequentl to stop in her work to hear him At the age of 11 he be 2 the churches of Naples, his native and. he made his debut there in I hailed as the most promisin.

Mayor Lerou invokes the record of the water board in the past few years as & reason why entire confidence can- not be placed either in its judgment or its aets. As the record stands it is certainly not a convincing demonstra- tion ef its alertness to the best interests of the city or lts efficlency in the ad- ministration this important depart- ment. Of course not all ef those now on the board have been members threngh the term during which his criti- cism eovers, but the public wiil well un- derstand on whom that criticism welghs most heavily. Two expensive lawsuits, both going to appeals to the supreme court and both Involving heavy damages, haye arisen in that time, in both of which the city ap- pears on the losing end. The conclu- sion s inevitable that a wiser adminis- tration of the water department would have saved this heavy financial drain. The now well known cutting and car- rying away from the reservotr wa- tersheds of standing timber went on apparently without the knowledge of members of the board as to its ex- tent, or if known, with indifference to its results. Sueh attentien te pablic business by public servants is mut of a sort to, inspire confidence. It would not be tolerated In any private busi- ness and It should net be excused in public business. As a consequence the city has been put te an initfal expense of $10,00° for installing a chlorinating vlant for its water supply apd is prob- ably gaddled for all time with an an- nual expense of $2,000 in maintenance charges to keep the ‘water where it will satisfy government requirements, On the appeal to the record the mayor seems to have the best of the afgument. orld, FUNDING THE FOREIGN DEBTS The administration bill prov the funding of the war, debts—pr and interest—which the a sociated nations owe the has been adonted by the mittee of the senate Wwith ment, and that of a All that is needed now bill pass congress to g of the treasury the & he seeks in order to m sible arrangement debtor nations.

TO BID FOR NINE PASSENGER LINERS New York, Aug. 2.—The United States Mail Steamship company announced to- nigh tthat within a few days it would submit a formal bid for the purchase‘of the nine passenger liners which the Unit- ed States shipping board seizhd sev days ago but which the company re gained possession of by courf injunctiop. This action .was talten after the com- pany had been notified by thé board that its offer to exercise the option té pur- chase in the agreement under which the ships were operated could not be Accépt- ed because it was “in default i respest to many of the terms, covenants and con- ditions of the contract” and had ndt pald any charter hire since March 31. Coun- sel for the board declared the renmtals due amounted to more tham $400,000 when the ships were taken. The board, however, in a letter which the company made public tonight, sets forth that “without waiving any of its rights, it will be glad to receive from you a bid to purchase the vessels men- tioned in your letter, predicated. of course, upon your ability to show pPropér and substantial financial respoasibility to ca out such a bid, if we should accept i ~ The company, in its reply, states it “chnnot admit it is in defauit and in conscquence denies the validity of your contention” and calls attention to the fact that the agreement itself provides for the arbitration of ‘all matters in ref- erence to the agreement. “Howéver,” it DIRECT FROM FISHING PORTS Block Island SWORDFISH Pound 35¢ BEST SHORE Haddock ..
