C., April 3.-Seven cent coal oil for illuminating purposes is predicted as the result of the pas? sage of the law* taking the tax off de I naturized alcohol. This causes the repeated statement, heard at the Capi? tol more loudly since the bill was fa? vorably reported from the committee on Ways and Means, that the Stand? ard Oil is lobbying against the bill. Representative Dalzell, of Pennsyl? vania, who is currently reported to fa? vor every and all trusts, opposed the action of the committee reporting the bill, with the recommendation that it do pass. So did General Grosvenor. The rest of the committee voted for a favorable report. Several members of the house said today that they were receiving letters from their rural constituents especial? ly, urging them to vote for the bill, be? cause they believed it would bring cheap illuminating oil. The farmers have got it into their heads also that the Standard is fighting the bill, and that appears to have been enough for them. They are for the bill, and they are endeavoring to put their members on the same side. It is charged that the Standard has used the temperance people of the country in the fight against the bill. The advocates of temperance claimed originally that to cheapen alco? hol would mean that it would be drunk to a very great extent by the lowest classes, with a consequent increase in drunk? enness. But the temperance people have changed their attitude towards the bill, and are now willing to see it enacted into law. Manufacturers, and scientific people generally, are eager for the passage of the bill. It will require a two-thirds vote to get the bill up under suspension of the rules. It remains to be seen whether that can be done. It is believed the bill will eventually pass the house, but that it will be so amended as to pro? vide that it shall not go into effect un? til the first of January, 1907. It is claimed that the removal of the tax from alcohol used in the arts will work a revolution in certain indus? tries. It is also claimed that it will add ten cents to the price of every bushel of corn sold in this country. It s said that corn, after the extraction of the alcohol, is fully as valuable as food Cor stock as before the alcohol was taken out. And the further statement is made that the alcohol taken from the pith of corn stalks, and even from cobs, is as valuable as that derived from the grain. It is further claimed that if the tax is removed from denatured alcohol, it will entirely supplant gasoline as a fuel and for use in automobiles, anoth? er reason why the Standard Trust j should be fighting it. PUKE WATER SUPPLIES. Difficulty and Embarrassment Caused by Using Streams as Sewers. Pure water supplies for large cities now seem impossible. The New York State water supply commission has about come to the conclusion that in a short time it will not be possible to se? cure sufficient unoccupied land as a watershed to supply New York city, so that the Hudson river will eventual? ly be used. Attention is therefore be? ing directed to the criminal stupidity with which civilized men, here as in Eure pe. h. a ve been destroying their own water supply by pouring sewage into it. It is the great problem of all dense populations. Thought is now being given to the possibility of pre? vention instead of removal of contam? ination. The general trend of opinion is already in the direction of compell? ing each community to dispose of its own sewage instead of passing it on to the next place down stream. Nevertheless at the very outset, it is said, the New York commission en? counters a remarkable condition of public indifference. Many people are convinced that running water purifies itself in a few miles, and the rest do not care whether it does or not. The outlook is not encouraging, so that it is necessary to inaugurate a campaign of education. The cost will probably settle the matter. Unless the Hudson River is used, it will be necessary to spend $160.000.000 to establish a sup? ply system in the Catskills, involving J the removal of many communities and rendering huge tracts unproductive, except for timber raising. Perhaps in time such forestry may be im? mensely profitable, if it is not mis? managed by public officials, and this is an enormous if. The indications seem to point to a return to nature, using natural streams for their drink ink water and not as sewers. This is such a revolution that we cannot ex? pect it In this generation. The cost of changing sewer systems already built may be prohibitive for a generation or two.-American Medicine.

New York, April 5.-The body of Paul Xocquet, a young- sculptor and aeronaut, who went up in a balloon from Bronx at 5 o'clock Tuesday af? ternoon, was found at 6 o'clock last night lying face downward on a small island in Great South Bay, between Jones Beach, where his balloon was found on Tuesday night, and Amity ville. The point where the body was found is about two miles northeast of where the balloon was discovered empty at 10 o'clock Tuesday night.

A life preserver was found on the body, the life pre? server that Xocquet had carried with him in the balloon. MILLIONAIRE SWIFT DEAD.
