Cwrubro-Spinal Meningitis,
leading Medical Men Say the Diteate it in
Some Manner Communicable.
The mysterious disease of menin
gitis that has been puzzling the
people, and some of the physicians,
the past few months is now on the
decline. The New York World in
commenting upon the ravages of
the disease says:
"Cerebro spinal meningitis is an
imperfectly understood inflamma
tion of the membranes enveloping
the brain and the spinal marrow.
It is most to be feared in poor and
closely crowded quarters of the great
cities, yet in rural Silesia it has been
50 severe that the peasants have
fled from its ravages, and in New
York a railroad president has died
of it in a fashionable bote1. It is
veiy sudden in its attack and causes
excessive suffering. New York
will not soon forget the description
of the agonies suffered by a poor
girl who had contracted meningitis
nnd was wrongfully put in a cell
for alcoholism. The disease is doubt
less in some manner communcable.
"Half a century ago cerebro
spinal meningitis was as little
known by name as appendicitis,
though as "spotted fever" it had
done some execution. It appears to
be at its worst at the end of a cold
winter, when the general average of
vitality is at low ebb. At present
Boston and New York are trouoled
by the disease, but our southern
cities, with their milder climate
bave little complaint to make of it.
"The medical profession is
thoroughly aroused to the danger
of meningitis and diligently seeking
remedies. A cure as successful as
the fresh air treatment has proved
in consumption or the antitoxin in
diphtheria would be invaluable.
Beards as Eeal Germ Nests.
Allegheny Health Official Explain! That Iff
No Joke.
A Pittsburg dispatch says: When
the order was issued several weeks
ago to the effect that the iong beards
worn by many Allegheny citizens
would have to be cleansed, as they
were excellent propagating grounds
for scarlet fever germs, it was look
ed upon in the nature of a joke by
beardless men and as an insult by
those who wear beards. In this
connection, however Captain James
McLaughlin, of the Allegheny
Bureau of Health, says:
"The matter was neither intend
ed as an insult nor a joke. It is a
fact that a great number of cases of
scarlet fever last summer were
found in families where oue or more
of the members wore beards. It
was therefor decided that this class
of people must keeq their beards
at well their places of abode
clean."
Divorce Not an Evil-
Suian B. Anthony Sayt it it a Refuge For
Women From Brutal Mastert.
Over the bitter protest of Miss
Susan B. Anthony, the National
Council of Women on Friday adopt
ed a resolution pledging the organ
ization to co-operate with church
and state to ascertain what are the
chief causes which induce or lead
up to divorce. Divorce, the resolu
tion recites, is known to cause most
disastrous results in the state and
family.
"I do not consider divorce an
evil by any means," asserted Miss
Anthony before the reading of the
resolution had been completed. "It
is just as much a refuge for women
married to brutal men as Canada
was once a refuge from brutal mas
ters. I will never vote for a resolu
tion that will cut off women from
refuge from designing and brutal
men."

No Trouble for Normal
Normal had no trouble in get
ting 8 way with Scrantou of the
New York State League in the
opening game of the season on
Normal Field yesterday afternoon
The playing of the Normal boys
surprised the visitors and their
base running was a revelation to
everyone. But the one bright par
ticular star was Lynch. His strong
right arm was in evidence, and it
was the one all important factor in
landing the victory. In the first
iuning he retired the side on eight
pitched balls, two fracturing the
air and the other going out on a
little infield bit.
The weather kept many away
but still the attendance was quite
good. Dr. Cressinger of Sunbury,
officiated as umpire, and his work
was fair and impartial. The score

At the meeting of the Presbytery

evening with a popular session in

A Can for Golds
Here is a sure cure for colds of any
kind It has been tested repeatedly,
and has never failed, and as I used
to catch cold, which resulted in a
bad attack of bronchitis, I can
speak from experience. In cases of
pneumonia it will not fail to cure if
taken in time. Make a ball of cot
ton batting about the size of a
small marble, saturate it well with
alcohol, then drop on to it six drops
of chloroform; cover lightly with a
thin piece of cotton batting, hold
to the mouth, and inhale the fumes,
inflating the lungs well. It wid
open and expand every lung cell
instantly. Woman's Home Com

various forms of blank cartridges,
high explosive torpedos, ud other

This refers to July 4th, and manu

A Big Electrio 8jstem
Electric light lranchises have been
granted in Sunbury, Selinsgrove
and Middleburg to George W.
Wagenseller of Middleburg and
David Goltstine of Pittsburg. It is
proposed to orgauizc a company call
ed Middle Creek Electric Compa
ny of which P. II. Harter, ot Sun
bury, is to be treasurer and combine
the local companies of the three
places and also of Northumberland,
to furnish electric light by means of
a water power in Middle Creek, two
miles below Selinsgrove, where a
tunnel will be dug through Naishe's
Mountain for a distance of 1 200 feet.
A trolley line will be built from
Suubury to Mifflintown.
The fladler Chow.
An appreciative audience greeted
the Edwin J. Hadley moving pic
ture show Wednesday evening, and
it is safe to say that the highest ex
pectations concerning the entertain
ment were justified. The program
was entirely new and so varied that
there was not the least trace of
monotony. It would be difficult to
say what pictures were the best,
they were all good, and the whole
entertainment was the most stu
pendous exhibition of motion views
and skilled presentation that has
ever been witnessed in Bloomsburg.
The descent of the curtain at the
close of the show carried with it
conviction that the Hadley show is
a leader, and far ahead of its com
petitors. Improvement at i'airchilds Park-
O. E. Rhiuard, proprietor of
Fairchild's Park, is making exten
sive improvements in this popular
pleasure resort. The pavilion will
be enlarged, a House of Trouble
35x40 feet will be built and the
park will be lighted every night.
A permanent photograph gallery
will be one of the new features. A
trolley station wil' also be built for
the protection of passengers.
Fairchilds Park was easily the
leading pleasure resort along the
trolley road last summer, and the
improvements in contemplation will
add to its attractivness and increase
its popularity.
.Will Increase Attendance-
By signing the bill allowing
school directors $2 a day for at
tending county conventions for the
election of county superintendents
and the transaction of other business
of interest to the schools of the
county, Governor Pennypacker has
made it possible for all directors to
be on hand at these meetings.
Heretofore directors bad to stand
the expense themselves and many
remained away.

Shoot Before Dog Bites.
A inry in the Berks court decided
that it is no offense to kill a dog
when it attacks a person. Peter
Anderson was before Judge Ermen
trout charged by F. P. Katerman
with cruelty to animals in shoot
ing a valuable setter. Anderson
said the dog attacked him once be
fore, and that when it came for him
again he shot it. The court, after
bearing the testimony of several
witnesses, said that Mr. Anderson
could not be convicted as the wit
nesses for the prosecution made out
a case for the defense. There is no
cruelty to animals in shooting a
dog before he gets a chance to bite
you, said Judge Ermentrout. The
defendant was promptly acquitted
and the costs placed on the prose
cutor, Towanda Silk Mill.
A silk mill has been organized at
Towanda. The persons interested
are F Q. Hartman of Danville,
W. H. Evans, M. O'Malley, and
E. F. Fuller of Scranton, W.J.
Hartman of Shickshinnv. The
building will be of brick 4SX200

of a group of the Hartman mills.

location for such an industry.
