PURE MILK SUPPLY.
Plans to Secure It Discussed by Mem
bers of the Board of Health.
Tuberculosis again occupied much of
the attention of the board of health yes
terday afternoon. Dr. Paine said this
subject is the most Important now be
fore the sanitarians of the United States
and could not be given too much attan
tion. He always believed this, but was
most firmly convinced after seeing the
autopsy on the Jessup htrd nt Hewlit's
last month. If the legislators, he said.
could have seen what he saw there they
would say that no law could be too rigid
In dealing with the protection of the
people against possible contamination
from tubercular cattle.
Contrary to the statements made at
the last meeting, he quoted authorities
to show that medical science Is not ag
nostic on the question of whether the
milk of a diseased eow Is directly lnfct
ed with tuberculosis. Dr. Carter, food
and milk Inspector of St. Louis, in a re
cent circular to Insurance companies,
stated that in all his experiments he has
never yet failed to find tubercular germs
in the milk from affected cattle.
The local board has been and is mak
ing strenuous efforts to Insure a whole
some supply of milk to the city. They
have agitated the examination of herds
and from reports received from whole
sale dealers their work Is bearing good
results. Food Inspector Thomas Is
making a census of the cows and it is
proposed to compel the owners to have a
clean bill of health for each of his herd.
The board cannot afford to pay for the
examinations, but jy'H endeavor to ar
range 'With the local . veteilnurles to
have the examinations conducted at a
nominal cost.
MOVEMENT PROGRESSING
The movement is progressing favor
ably without any definite agreement as
to theie details,. but in a short time it
will be necessary to have an under
standing. It Is most likely, then, that a
rule will be adopted forbidding whole
salers to accept milk from any dealer
who has not a certificate showing that
all Ills cows have been examined and
found healthy. So far the census of
cows shows that 3,139 contribute to the
milk supply of this city, from which it
can be seen that the task now before
the board Is by no means a small one.
The sanitary code, for the regulation
of plumbing, upon which Master Plumb
er M. T. Howley, Architect F. L. Brown,
Health Offlcer Dr. W. E. Allen and
Huilding Inspector John Nelson have
been at work during the past two
months, was submitted to the board for
adoption by Dr. Allen. It provides In
a word that master plumbers shall reg
ister and secure a certificate, submit
plans of their work to the inspector, and
when completed, test the work in his
presence, and prescribes how work shall
be done and what materials shall be
used. One of the features of the meas
ure is that wooden tubs or sinks are
forbidden, and all plumbing work in
closets must be open. The board will
Consider the code section by section at
a special meeting to be held later.
i; CREMATORY STATISTICS.
II. W. Loftus, the crematory superin
tendent, submitted some Interesting He
Urea regarding the work done at the
crematory during the past three years.
Among the items were: Total number
of barrels of garbage burned, 66,1146;
tons, 4,929; number of dogs, 234; cats,
114;plgs, 2; goats, 7. All this was re
duced to 120 tons of ashes.
Health Officer Allen condemned the
closet system at No. 25 school, and
recommended that the board order the
noisome nuisance to be abated when va
cation time comes, which recommenda
tion was adopted. .
The construction of a sewer ulong
Sunset and Columbia avenues and the
establishment of a new sewer district,
embracing the territory between Green
Ridge street and the Diamond Flats,
were'declded as being absolutely neces
sary and the secretary was instructed
to call councils' attention to the matter.
Sanitary Offlcer Burke complained of
the house of Joseph Slocum, on New
street, which, he said, was In such an
unsanitary condition that it would have
to be torn down. The board directed
Dr. Allen and Officer Burke to order
the owner to repair the building or suf
fer having it demolished.
Secretary Brlggs' statistics for the
month showed the following: Total
deaths, 129; from violence, 4; total
births, 1S4; marriages, 4C.

State. .
SUMMARY OF ITS APPOINTMENTS
Conrad Schroeder Was the Baiider
and the Plans Were Prepared by
Architect L. C. Iiolieu--Wor!i Was
Supervised by Architect V. F,
VYiuMcniun--Will lie Ucudy for Oc
cupancy Sext Week.
No finer operating ro -m than the new
one just completed at the Moses Tayior
hospital can be seen In this state. The
exterior Minlsh ' Is of red trick with
brown stone trimmings and corper roc-f
In keeping with the style of the other
building. It Is 42 fett and 8 lnehis wide.
47 feet and 4 inches long, and 27 feet
hl?li. It will be ready for use nm
Wfek. .
The interior arrangement is a model
of architectural skill, the work of Ar
chitect L. C. Holden, of the Common
wealth building. Architect C. F.
Winkleman.of Mr. Holden's office su
pervised the work of the construction.
and to his ability is due In a large meas
ure the success of the Improvement.
Conrad Schroeder was the builder and
the plumbing and sanitary work was
done by P. F. and M. T. Howley, of
Wyoming avenue.
When the patient is taken out of the
ward he Is carried along a corridor
leading to the operating room, which Is
located between the south ward and
the kitchen. After leaving the corridor
the patient Is carried Into the etherizing
room, the dimensions of which are 11
feet, 4 inches by 13 feet, 6 Inches. This
room has a marble mosaic floor and
white marble walnscoating.
THE OPERATING ROOM.
From this room there is an entrance
to the operating room, which is fitted
up with large windows with western.
northern and southern light. There IS
a large ventilator and skylight. The
dimensions are IS by 20 feet, and the
most Improved sinks and basins are
provided. The walnscoating is of white
marble and is 6 feet high. The floor is
marble mosaic and drains to a cess pool
In the center. There Is a glass operat
ing table and the usual paraphernalia.
The sinks are arranged so that the
water can be turned on and off with
a person's foot, to avoid the necessity
of the physician handling the valves
when his hands may be stained with the
effects of the operating table. The
walnscoating is ma le six feet nigh so
that the blood may nut Bpurt on the
plastering.
Opening off from the operating room
is the steerllizlng room, 11 feet, 4 inches,
by 10 feet, 6 Inches. There are kept the
cloths, bandages, applications, and the
water used in infectious cases. The in
strument room Is off from the steriliz
ing room. The dimensions are 10 feet, 4
Inches, by 10 feet, 6 Inches. The instru
ments are kept there in glass cases.
From the operating room the patient
is removed to the recovery room, the
dimensions of which are 18 by 19 feet.
After an operation the patient is never
removed sooner than from 2 to 10 hours
back to the ward. In connection with
the recovery and operating rooms there
is a dressing room for the surgeons,
fitted up with lavatories and lockers.
MARBLE USED EVERYWHERE.
The etherizing, dressing and operat
ing rooms have marble mosaic floors
and marble walnscotlngs. The recov
ery room has a polished hard wood floor,
with marble base. The sterlilslng and In
strument rooms have marble floors arid
marble base Mulshing. All the rooms
are plastered with Keene's cement,
which makes them almost impervious
to water and matter. They are ren
dered further impervious by being
painted with a white enamel finish.
The doors and jambs of the operat
ing room are marble, and the sashes
of all the windows are marble. In fact
there is no wood at all in the operating
room. The window frames are iron and
the panes are obscure glass. The an
gles at the floor and celling are rounded
out and there are no corners to provide
a lurking place for microbes or the ac
cumulation of dust. There Is very little
wood used In the construction of the
annex to the end that it shall be abso
lutely fire proof.
The annex Is heated by indirect steam
and every room Is well ventilated and
lighted by gas and electricity.
N0RR1S BROTHERS' SHOW.

street all next week at popular prices.

DEATH OF MRS. RICARD0.
It Has Caused a Big Stir on Ferdi
nand Street.
For Beveral days rumors of a sensa
tional character have been In circula
tion concerning the death of the wife
of Raffal Rlcardo, of Ferdinand street,
North End, on Friday of last week.
About 5 o'clock the day preceding her
death Dr. Ray, of Green Ridge, was
called In and found her suffering from
congestion of the brain. Mr. Rlcardo
claims that this congestion was brought
about by continual worrying. It seeniB
that Mr. Rlcardo erected fence posts a
few weeks ago and some of the neigh
bors took advantage of this and tied
their clothes lines to them. -
This not being In accordance with
Mrs. Rlcardo's liking, she ordered them
to desist. They complied with -her re
quest, but before doing bo Mr. Rlcardo
claims that they made numerous
threats. Mrs. Ricardo took the threats
seriously and continually worried about
them, Three weeks ago she went to an
alderman, and after statin her case
tried to obtain some means whereby the
alleged continual tbreatenlngs of the
neighbors might be stopped.
The alderman advised her to go home
aud not worry. She. paid no heed to
his advice, however.
Thursday morning Dr. Strang was
summoned, who told a Tribune reporter
yesterday that the mind of the womin
was somewhat deranged, caused by a
continual worrlment. The neighbors
whom Mr. Rlcardo accuses, do not relish
the statements he makes, and propose
to force him to make reparation if he
continues to circulate the stories.
They claim that the mind of Mrs. Rl
cardo seemed to have been slightly af
fected and yesterday morning. In order
to find out the real truth of the matter,
they waited upon Dr. Ray. who told
them that be had on several occasions
attended her for congestive headaches.
KI0H SCHOOL FACULTY.
Some Announcement Expected Next

There wl'.I possibly be some announce
ments in connection with the faculty
of the new high school s.xt Monday
night at the board of control meeting.
The high ar.d trainir.sr school commit
tee held a iTKftlii(r bi3t night behind
closed doors to discuss this and other
matters relatlnr to the new sthoi.l.

FELL INTO RESERVOIR.
Ten-Year-0!d John Phillips, of This City,
Drowned at Chinchilla While
Fishing.
One of the employes of the Providence
Gas and WaUr company, while fishing
in the Griffin reservoir at Chinchilla
yesterday morning, pulled up the body
of John Phillips, the 10-year-old son of
Zlba Phillips, of Edwards court, Wost
Side.
The boy was drowned the day before
about noon time, but he was not missed
until his body was recovered. Dr. E.
M. Pennypacker, deputy coroner. In the
afternoon empaneled a jury consisting
of T. J. Akerly, Loren Akerly, M. 1'.
Akerly, James OrilTln, James Leach
and Avery White. Evidence was taken
before the Jury which resulted in a ver
dict of accidental drowning.
The boy left home the fore part of
the week and was visiting his grand
father, Hosea Phillips, at Justus, Scott
township. The old man lives a m'.'.e
away from the reservoir, and close to
the reservoir lives a married half
brother of the boy. The deceased spent
his time alternating between both
houses and In that way was not missed.
On Thursday morning he went to the
reservoir with his half-brother and they
arranged some nets in the water near
a submerged stone wall. The top of the
wall was only a few' Inches below the
level of the water. The man went back
to the house at the call of his wife and
left the boy at the water. How he was
drowned was probably by walking on
the submerged wall and falling from It
into the water. There was a contused
wound on his temple, showing that he
struck against something, likely the
edge of the wall. In falling. His half
brother thought when he did not come
to his house that he' went over to his
grandfather's. The funeral will take
place there. The body was not removed
to his father's home in this city.
' IN TWELVE SHORT YEARS.
Wonderful Work That Has Burn Ac
complished by S. L. (.'alien.
This week will mark the twelfth an
niversary of the beginning of the busi
ness career In this city of S. L. Uallen,
proprietor of the Penn Clothing and
Shoe house, at 137 a,nd 139 Penn avenue.
He proposes to make the occasion mem
orable by a grand bargain carnival,
during the coming week, at which men'B
clothing, boys' clothing, shoes, hats and
general furnishing goods will be sold
at prices that tell the tale better than
words can possibly describe. As a fur
ther evidence of his .appreciation of
public favor, Mr. Gullen also announces
that during the sale referred to he will
donate one-half of one per cent, of the
profits of the entire sales for the week
of the grand bargain carnival, to be
equally divided among the several char
itable Institutions of the city.
Mr. Gallen's success has been remark
able as well as merited. The store in
which he began business twelve years
ago was 20x50 feet In size, but year by
year he was compelled to Increase his
facilities until his establishment
reached the gigantic proportions it pos
sesses today. This steady growth in
favor with the buylnsr public was the
result of the broad, liberal policy pur
sued by Mr. Gallen from the moment he
launched his business craft.
He kept faith with the public and
gave them at least a dollar in value for
every dollar they expended. That is the
foundation stone on which his success
was built.
CAPTURED A HORSE THIEF.
This Was Some Time Ago, and .Vow
the Captor Want the Reward.
A rule was granted by the court yes
terday on the county commissioners to
show cause why they shall not pay $20
reward to Henry Smith for capturing a
horse thief. Mr. Smith Is represented
by Attorneys Jones & Powderly.
His son, Owen, lost September drove
up to the Benton Baptist church to at
tend a social, and when he came out
the horse and carriage had disappeared,
The petitioner went on the trail and
traced the outfit to Mill City. Fourteen-year-old
Johnny Ureen, who Is now
in the Huntingdon reformatory, was the
thief. Mr. Smith caught him and hand
ed him over to Constable William
Knight, of Benton, who brought him to
jail.
Young Green was Indicted by the
grand Jury on March 16, and at the
April session of criminal court he plead
guilty and was sentenced to the i re
formatory. The state allows $20 to'the
capturer of a horse thief and Mr. Smith
wants what the law allows.
JOHN CRANE INJURED.
Crushed by a Fall of Top Coal in No.
5 Colliery.
John Crane was crushed beneath a
fall of top coal In No. 5 colliery ot the
Pennsylvania Coal company at Dun
more Thursday evening. He was en
gaged in tearing down a loose piece of

Behalf Did Not Wis the Other Mem
bers of the Bourd--To Rcudvcrti.e
for Bids fur an Electrical Plant on
Account of an Omission in the
Specifications.
Tr. Morgan J. Williams, of the West
Side, was yesterday chesen outdoor
physician by the poor board for the
Providence portion of the district to
succeed Dr. A. Strange who was at the
lB3t meeting of the board chosen resi
lience physician at the Hillside home.
Dr. Williams has for some time been
outdoor physician for the West Side but
will now have charge of both and re
ceive therefor $400 per year.
Thomas Shotten, the director who
represents Providence, nominated Dr.
Jenkins as Dr. Strange's successor. He
said that It would be unjust to the peo
ple of his portion of the district to go
to the West Side when they needed the
services of a physician and that it
would be much better for all concerned
to have a physician located nearer to
the people he will be called upon to
treat. Dr Paine nominated Dr. Wil
liams. Mr. Shotten's argument evi
dently did not have a very powerful
effect on the directors for Dr. Williams
was chosen. Dr. Paine, Mr. Fuller,
Mrs. Swan and Mr. Langstaff voting for
him and Mr. Shotten and Mr. Tereppe
for Dr. Jenkins.
READVERTISE FOR BIDS.
After the minutes of the previous
meeting were read Mr. Fuller of the
home committee announced that in his
mail yesterday he received a bid for the
electric plant at the Hillside home.
There was no mark on the envelope to
Indicate what it contained and he
opened the letter and found that the
bid enclosed was unaccompanied by a
check for five per cent, of tho amount
bid. He looked up the specifications
and found they did not provide for the
five per cent check. In view of this
omission he moved that all of the bids
be returned unopened, that the specif!
cations be corrected and new bids ad
vertlsed for. This motion was seconded
by Mrs. Swan and unanimously agreed
to.
The case ot Mrs. Catharine Sampson,
colored, the mother ot six children, who
was deserted by her husband five weeks
ago was referred to Director Fuller
with power to render assistance. It
was decided to purchase special eye
glasses for a boy named Henry Epp
stein, who has been a hospital patient
and whose parents are unable to buy
glasses for htm.
SAD PROVIDENCE CASE.
William J. Thomas, of Providence,
who is almost blind as a result of a mine
accident, was allowed $5 per month for

court, returned to the Institution, vol
untarlly last week. Steps will be taken
to have him examined and regularly
committed.
A communication was received from
James Jones, of the Jenkln township
poor district, asking If this district can
take care of their urgent Insane cases.
He was requested to appear before the
board yesterday but failed to do so.
The superintendent's report showed
that during May there were 111 males
and 30 females In the home; number at
