U- nuBit MEETING OF THE BOARDOF HEALTH Dr. Allen Refers to the Necessity of 'Grndlug tli; City Slrccts.

Tlio Traction Company Will He Asked to l'ost Notices Forbidding the I'rncllcL'-'Hsitiiiuitcd Nxponse lor the Voiu. The regular monthly meeting of the Scrnntoti board of health was held yes terday nfternoon In the health ollleo In city halt. The business transacted wns largely of routine character, con Hltlng ot the presentations of reports of the suverul ofllcurs of the board. After rending; of the minutes of the preceding meeting Secretary JSilggs presented his report for lust December. The report showed that there were 1L'5 deaths during that month. The mor tality for the Decembers of the Inst four years was as follows; In 1S!)2, 10-'; ISO:!, 107; 18!) I, 131; 1S1I3, l'JS. In De cember of the last your there were re corded 1D9 births and C8 marriages. In the year 1S1H! there were l,ii81 deaths In this city according to the secretary's report. Inspector of Food and Jlllk T. N. Cul len next presented his report for De cember which was as follows: Milk Inspections, 225; meat and poultry mar kets inspected, MO. There were conlls- cnted during the month 210 pounds of lish, Til pounds of dressed poultry, r.O pounds of pork and two carcasses of bob veal. The report of the health officer, Dr. W. 13. Allen, wns read and contained several suggestions that wore received with Interest. The report says, of San itary Ollleer Burke's work: "Fifty eight inspections of streets and alleys were made during the month, thirty notices were served ordering the abat ing of nuisances, and nil houses report ed to contain contagious dlseuses were plucarded. CONDITION OF STREETS. "Scranton," the report of Dr. Allen continues, "contains over one hundred thousand Inhabitants and is a city of magnificent distances, covering un Im mense amount of territory. There nro 11G miles of streets and avenue, 20 miles of courts and places and of all this, less than one-tenth have been graded and this Is the greatest dilll- culty the board has to contend with. Stagnant xiools of various sizes are found in all sections of the city, In out lying wards particularly, and as long us gravity exists and wnter will not run up hill unnsslted these conditions will continue. If till streets that are built up could be graded and gutters put In, It would be comparatively easy to keei) them In a sanitary condition. Some effort should be made to have this brought about. "Scranton, In all things, is an up-to-date town, but there are some things we do not have that can be found In older places. For Instance, everybody can expectorate any amount of filthy matter on the floors of street cars, on the sidewalks and in fact everywhere, while In New York, Hoston and many other places such spitting Is forbidden and is considered, very properly, a mis demeanor. It Is a fact that about nine- tenths of the people living here suffer from catarrh and where forty or fifty passengers in a hot street car ex change microbes for half an hour, the effect may be imagined, especially when some percentage of the odor Is flavored with half digested whisky which may not be germicidal, but nasty when mixed with the cadavers of ro bust germs. I think the board ot health should look after this matter. MILKS OF SEAVEKS. "I am glad to be able to state that there are forty-four miles of sewei-3 now In use and more are to be erected soon. The time Is approaching when garbage will come to the front and some plan will have to be thought of before a great while. Fifteen hundred and eighty-four deaths occurred last year. Sixty-live from diphtheria, one hundred and nineteen from pneumonia and twenty-one from typhoid fever, which speaks volumes for our water supply. The garbage crematory has done an Immense amount of work ef fectively, but I think at least more is already needed." The amount estimated to be neces sary to meet the expenses for the en suing fiscal year Is as follows; Wages W,B20 Cretnatoiy Expenses 1.100 Purchase of crenuitory lot 3,000 Salary, health ofilcer S00 Salary, food Inspector 000 Salary, secretary ., t!00 Stationery -SO Incidentals it'O II. M. Loftus, superintendent of the crematory, offered a report which stat ed that 1,701 barrels of garbage, eight dead dogs and thirty ton of coal hod been consumed In the month of De cember. A motion was carried authorizing the president of the board to communicate with Professor Wells, of the Scran ton high school with a view to making arrangements for tho anallzlng of all matters so desired by the milk and food Inspector. A motion was presented au thorizing the request for a pass on the local traction lines for te same ollleer but was withdrawn when It was ns serted that reqilests of a similar na ture had previously been refused to city ofllelals by the street car com panies. ABOUT SPITTING IN CAJtS. By motion the secretary was ordered to communicate to the street car com panies a request that they havrf ex hibited In their cars signs forbidding expectoration while In the car. The sum of $200 was appropriated for the wages of additional help nt the crematory during the hot months of the coming summer. By motion Mr. Eagan was authorized to examine the oi'eiiituury mm report 10 me uoaru what materials or repairs were needed. The matter of the annual meeting of tho state associated board to be held .In Harrlsburg the 20th of this month, was brought up t- id a motion was passed requesting all local members to attend. The associated boards of health of Lackawanna county Is tle pioneer or ganization of Its kind In this state and as such entertains a fostering spirit toward her sister county, Luzerne, where a second association of county health boards Is ifhout to be effected. The following lotter addressed to M. C, Judge, secretary, ot the Lackawanna county associated boards of health, re lative to thoimatter was read: If I Mv Dear Mr. Judge I am quite anxious I that wo should bo well .represented at tho Wllkcs-Harro meeting, Jun. 12 next, when Luzerne county will follow us In estab lishing a county associated board. If this suggestion meets with your approval, pleufe notify the different boards, of our 'association (If you have not already done so) to please send as good n t (-presentation ns possible to Wllkes-Burro upon that date, to give our l.uzerno county friends as much assistance and encouragement ns wo can, With kind regards I remain, as ever, Sincerely yours, J. K. Hentley, President Associated Hoards of Health of Lackawnnna County. ' While the city honrd was In session the executive committee of the assoc iated boards ot Lackawanna county was In seslson In an ndjolnlng room.

"On the Mississippi," a story of life in the south In the unsettled days Im mediately after the war, will be pro duced at the Academy of Music to night and tomorrow night. The play presents in dramatic form a series of melodramatic incidents of life in New Orleans and along the great river dur ing the period, when the Ku Klux Klan tried to regulate the laws, and In fact did so until the bayonets of the federal troops proved too much for even their dark and mysterious machination's" against life and property. Scenes of spectacular beauty present a continu ous feast for the eyes showing histor ical localities made famous In and about New Orleans. A number of (lunlntly original southern characters furnish an unlimited supply of good, wholesome comedy which lightens the heavier scenes of melodrama. A num ber of attractive specialties are Intro duced in the comedy scenes. "With a strengthened cast, entire new scenery and costumes, rewritten plot, and a clever company of specialty per formers, Peek's Had Hoy company comes to the Frothlngham tonight and tomorrow night and tomorrow after noon.

The management has Intro duced Into the comedy some of the strongest metropolitan novelties nnd made a special feature of the latest and most popular music. Popular prices will prevail for the engagement and the house will no doubt bo crowded at each performance. There is a charm In the singing of southern sonss by negroes that never falls to please. "Darkest America," the big negro exhibition, which will be seen at the Academy of Music Mon day and Tuesday, January 11 and. 12, has twenty singers and shouters, to say nothing of the hundred and one other Interesting features. The brass band and orchestra, the military company and all the people who take part In the performance are genuine southern ne groes.

The ever popular farce comedy suc cess, "A Railroad Ticket," with Free man's fun makers, comes to the Froth lngham next Tuesday evening for a single performance. It Is written up to the hour with brisk dialogue, ludicrous situations, Interspersed with bright music, catchy songs and entrancing dances.

Miss Stu art li better known as the American "Fougore." Louis Wesley will be re membered as one of the big cards with "Thrllby," the successful burlesque from the Guriick theater, New York.
