WHY THE CONTAGION
IS NOT CHECKED
PRINCIPAL REASONS SET FORTH
IN FACTS AND FIGURES.
Board of Health's Lack of Means,
Careless Parents, Public Funerals
and Negligent Physicians Among
tho Causes Ono Sanitary Officer In
1803 Attended to 83 Cases of Diph
theria, and the Same Officer Was
Expected to Attend to Nearly 1,000
Cases This Year.
Two of tho most contagious dis
eases known to medical science nre,
and have been, for over a year, epide
mic In this city, while a third, ty
phoid fever, quite as cemmunlrablf nti'1
highly fatal, Is prevalent to an alarm
ing degree. These conditions not only
continue unabated, but the figures In
the office of the secretary of the board
of health show they are growlilg worse
day by day, still nothing unusual Is
being done In a remedial way, except
that the board of health Is ox-Ttlng Its
limited powers to the utmost, In an
endeavor to check the spread ol the
disease.
Health Officer W. K. Allen presents
the whole case pointedly In the fol
lowing statement furnished The Trib
une yesterdny, by request:
All physicians are expected to report
to the board of health every case of
any contagious disease, which tbev
may find In their nraetlce, as soon as
possible after the nature of the disease
Is determined. On receipt of this notice,
the secretary of the board of health
reports the case to the superintendent
of public Instruction, and he Is expected
to Inform the principal of the school
attended by this patient, and all chil
dren of that family are prohibited from
attending school until they can present
a certificate from the physician In at
tendance, stating that the disease no
longer exists, nn4 that the house has
been properly disinfected.
Pl'niilC FUNERALS FORBIDDEN.
In the meantime, a placard, with the
name of the disease. Is placed upon the
Infected house, and the people are in
formed that all persons not employed
In caring for the sick must be kept out.
Public funerals nre forbidden and pre
vented ns much as possible.
Owing to the large number of cases,
tho sanitary oillcer hns been hardly
able to get the placards on alt of the
houses nnd has not had time to attend
to any other duties. At the regular
meeting of the board of health In No
vember It was decided to employ one
man to assist the sanitary officer, more
particularly to attend and prevent pub
lic funerals and disinfect all houses,
especially where there has been a death
nnd funeral. This man was to be paid
from the emergency fund, which Is In
tended for such purposes. He Is not an
officer, but was employed In the same
way as men are at the crematory, when
the regular force are unable to do the
work.
I have not been able to find any par
ticularly unsanitary place that could be
responsible for so much of this disease,
nnd as scarlatina and diphtheria are
particularly contagious diseases, and
can Invariably be traced to tnat cause,
I am surely of the opinion that the
carelessness of families, where the dis
ease exists, and of the neighbors as
well. Is the real cause of the develop
ment of so many eases.
There Is no denying the fact that
some people delight In going Into places
where there is serious Illness, or any
thing shocking: nnd the placard on the
house seems to be looked upon ns an
Invitation to come In, nnd they go In
nnd make a protracted visit, and then
go home to their own families satur
ated with the poison, or possibly they
take a ride In a crowded street car
first.
THEY KISS THE DEAD.
Little children are allowed to take a
last look at the dead child, and very
frequently are permitted to kiss the
corpse. Very many people persist in
having public funerals.
It should be In the power of the board
of health to put a stop to all of this,
but In a city of one hundred thousand
inhabitants, covering a vast area, such
a thing, with only one sanitary ofilcer.
Is Impossible. There should be nt least
one regularly appointed sanitary police
man for each of the four districts of
the city, clothed with the necessary
authority. There Is no reason why
these diseases should not be checked. If
the rules of the board of health could
be enforced. It is gratifying to know
that the mortality has been remark
ably light about six per cent.
This last comment of Dr. Allen Is li
meaningful thing, when It Is read with
the mind fixed on the fact that a sore
throat, with the slightest trace of
pseudo membrane. Is sometimes liable
to be exaggerated into diphtheria by
a physician who might want to mnke
a record. Dr. Allen, however, de
clined to discuss this matter.
A few figures nre sufficient to show
how futile It is for tho board of health
to attempt to cope with the epidemics,
with the limited means at Its com
mand. In 1893 there wolf 83 cases of diph
theria reported during the whole
twelve months, nn average of seven a
month. Since October 1, 1S5S, to
and Including yesterdny, not quite fif
teen months, the number of enses re
ported was 1,006, or an average of 70 a
month. One sanitary officer was ex
pected to placard the houses In which
these diseases prevailed, be on hand
to prevent the public from nttendlng
the 102 funerals which resulted, and
disinfect tho houses after tho disease
had been wiped out by death or cure.
CASES OF FEVER.
This has reference to diphtheria
alone. So far this year there hav
been 241 cases of scarlet fver with
23 deaths and 45 case of typhoid fever
with 24 deaths, to say nothing of tho
other communicable diseases which
have likewise to be attended to, such
ns measles, membraneous croup, dlph
theratlc croup, and the like. In ad
dition to nil this the one sanitary offi
cer must needs look after and nbate
tho nuisances dally complained of an 1
keep nn eye on the scavengers.
For those who may wish to go Into
n statistical study of the matter the
following figures nnd comparisons nr
presented. They show the record of
the diseases mentioned, cases reported
and deaths resulting for the past eight
years, tho present year nnd two im
mediately preceding yenrs being given
by months:

So far this month there have been
45 cases of diphtheria and 28 cases of
scarlet fever reported. Last week the
report shows 37 new cases of diph
theria, with three deaths: 21 cases of
scarlet fever with six deaths.
RRANDS STORY AS FALSE.
When Mayor Molr was nsked If he
had any views to advnnco as to how
the board of health could be helped In
Its work, he stated that, he had not
given the matter sufficient thought, ns
yet. to offer nny suggestions. He de
nied that ho complained of tho board
of health being Innctlve, and branded
ns a fabrication the printed story to
the effect that he favored doing away
with the board and turning the work
over to a sanitary committee of coun
cils. Superintendent of Schools George
Howell said the school authorities are
doing everything in their power to pro
tect the children from Infection.
"When a ense of contngious disease
Is reported to the board of health," he
said, "the secretary Immediately noti
fies this office and we at once notify
the principal of the building in the dis
trict from which the report comes. If
there are nny children from the Infect
ed house attending school, the princi
pal sends them home, and they nre not
allowed to return until thirty days after
the disease Is eradicated, unless they
bring a physician's certificate that all
liability to contract the disease by con
tact with the quarantined children hai
passed away and these children may
safely be permitted to resume their
places In tho school. This certificate Is
never accepted, however, Inside of two
weeks after the disease has disappeared
and the house disinfected.
THEY ATTEND SCHOOL.
"Despite these precautions, there are
some Instances where children from nn
infected house attend school, but ic
teachers are exercising the utmost care
to prevent this, and the Instances for
tunately are rare. Not infrequently,
neighbors of a family, in which a con
tagious disease develops, report the
case to the principal of the school long
before the physician reports It to the
board of health, or at least long before
the placard Is put up. In such cases
the principal transmits tho report to
this office and If an Investigation shows
that the report Is correct, the children
of the affected fijmlly are sent home,
without further ado."
It would appear from talks with vari
ous parties who do not want to be
quoted, that there are physicians who
err on the side opposite to that which
Dr. Allen likely had In mind when he
said that the death rate from diph
theria Is remarkably low. There are
physicians who look contemptuously on
the board of health and refuse to rec
ognize It except when the danger of
prosecution enforces recognition. Others
there are, It Is claimed, who Ignore the
rules of the board and shut their eyei
to the welfare of the community at
large, rather than go contrary to the
wishes of their patrons, who do not
wish to have their houses made con
spicuous by placards. Hut the danger
of this sort of neglect or carelessness
has become such that public opinion Is
demanding that radical powers and
means be placed In the board's hands
for speedy remedy.

Man Who Was for Years the Fore
most Member of the Local Bar.
Those Who Pronounced Eulogies on
Their Late Associate.
A special meeting of tho Lackawan
na Ear association was held yesterday
morning in the court house and action
taken on the death of Judgo W. O.
Ward.
Ex-Judge Jcssup was chosen chair
man nnd C. L. Hawley, secretary.
The following commltthee on reso
lutions was then appointed und re
tired: Hon. E. N. Wlllard, Hon R.
W. Archbald, Hon. H. M. Edwards,
Frank J. Fltzsimmons nnd Cornelius
Comegys.
A letter was read by Secretary C.
L. Hawley which had been received
by Chairman Hawley from George S,
Horn, the judge's legal partner for tho
past score of years. In this letter Mr.
Horn paid a beautiful tribute to the
memory of bis departed friend, telling
of his legal ability, bis great thor
oughness and above all his sturdy,
honest christian character and life.
O. IJ. Gardner, one of those who
studied law under the deceased, then
made a brief address in which ho cited
his many noble qualities and stated
that "we will always have bis mem

The report of the committee on res
olutions was then received and reaUl
by Mr. Comegys. It was as follows:
THE RESOLUTIONS.
At a meeting of tho members of the
bar of I,acl;uvunnu county, held on Mon
day, tho 11th day of December, 1S99, nnd
called to take appropriate action upon
the death of the Hon. W. G. Ward,
among other things done, tho following
memorial minute- was presented, read and
unanimously adopted:
Horn on tho 7lh day of October, 1M9,
at Dover, In Dutchess county, of the state
of Now York, Wulslngham Grlllln Ward
a lawyer of good repute, died at his
residence, In tho city of Scranton, on
Saturday, tho 9th day of December, ISOfl.
A farmer's boy, after studying law with
diligence for several years, under tho di
rection of tho late Judgo Dana, he was
finally, In ISM, admitted to tho bar of
Lustcrno county, at Wllkes-Rarre, and Im
mediately thereafter locating nt Scran
ton, ho began that laborious and eminent
ly successful career, nt tho close of which
there Is now the peaceful rest of nn eter
nal and dreamless sleep.
At the very threshold of his profes
sional life, the conduct of this man gave
promise of a brilliant future. It was of a
naturo to compel success. He loved the
books; their slave and their master, nt
all times he was a patient, palnstnklng
and persevering student. Understanding
human nature, he knew men; he early
inspired them with confidence In his In
tegrity, respect for his Judgment and ad
miration for his abilities. Rarely visit
ed by disappointment la the result of his
causes, ho soon acquired an extensive nnd
remunerative practice, nnd attained a po
sition of prominence among his fellows
which ho maintained "with steadfastness
until the day of his death.
Raised by a well-earned popularity to
the bench la ISTO.for a period of llvo years
thereafter, he served faithfully and with
distinction as the first and only elected
recorder of the short-lived Mayor's court
of the city of Scranton. Plnln nnd with
out affectation in mnr.ner or method, as
a Judge he was righteous In Judgment,
always administering a Justice tempered
with mercy, emulating Gibson whom he
admired and following Conglngham
whom he loved.
HIS WISDOM AS A JUDGE.
Returning to the nrduous labors of a
proefsslonal life, ho pursued them with
unremitting zeal and fidelity. The Im
perishable records of a court may attest
and perpetuate the wisdom of tho Judge;
among the traditions of future genera
tions the fame of tho skillful and saga
cious lawyer will rest secure. Sound,
cautious nnd conservative as a legal ad
visor, his broad and liberal mind was
thoroughly Imbued with those funda
mental principles of law and human ac
tion, upon the knowledgo of which tho
safety nnd security of the client must
Invarlnbly depend, nnd every lawyer's
reputation stnnd. An advocate, endowed
with rare qunn... of mind nnd heart,
he found In the crowded court room tho
proper place for tho display of thoso
precious gifts of soul nnd speech which
so eminently distinguished him.
Constantly engnged In many causes of
grent Importance, both civil nnd crim
inal, ho was always ready and prepared
to meet every exigency of his case. Vig
ilant and acute, and, on the most trying
occnslons, of Imperturbable self-possession,
ho was nt tho same tlmo wise and
crafty In the development and argument
of a cause. Versatllo nnd vlvnclous, be
fore a Jury, especially In homlcldo cases,
ho was eloquent and Impressive; while
In his arguments to tho court, thero was
nlwnys manifested a candor und straight
forwardness, which must havo Insensibly
won tor him the confidence of tho
Judge. He was a lawyer of dlstlngulsned
merit.
Ho assumed the various responsibilities
and faithfully discharged tho many
duties of his life. To his family, ho was
Indulgent, generous nnd kind to his
neighbors, considerate and hospitable. In
bis professional relations hu was over
faithful-faithful to tho court, faithful to
the client and faithful to tho claims of
truth and honor. An excellent nnd wor
thy citizen, ho was a model friend. To
nsk his aid was to Immediately recelvo
it. Liberal nnd charitable to a fault, ho
was kindly nffectlonato and a stranger
to enduring resentment. Knowing how
to forgive an Injury, ho also knew how to
forget a fault. Ills every action was but
the outward expression of a gentlo and
sympathetic nature a nature which he
had with him until the end.
JUDGE WILLARD'S TRIBUTE.
Judge Wlllnrd In moving tho adop
tion of the resolutions mnde n brief
but eloquent address In which he re
ferred to tho Judge as having been ono
of the best Jury lawyers in tho state.
He spoke of his great confidence In tho
Jury and the court nnd as an Illustra
tion of this stated that ho believed ho
never filed over six writs of error dur
ing his whole career.
Tho resolutions were unanimously
ndopted after which short addresses
made by District Attorney John It.
Jones, Colonel F. L. Ifltchcnock, Ed
ward Merrlfield, T. F. Wells, John D.
Colllngs and John F. Scragg,
Judgo Archbald then spoke. Ho re
ferred to tho fact that It was by
Judge Ward's order that he was first
admitted to tho bar. Tho judgo was
followed by Frank J. Fltzsimmons,
who spoko briefly.
It was decided that tho liar meet In
tho court house this afternoon at 2
o'clock to attend tho funeral which
will be held this afternoon nt 2.30
o'clock. It wns also decided to drape
his portrait In the main court room
In 'black for thirty days.
Judgo Archbald 'announced from tho
bench yesterday morning that court
would adjourn todny nt 12.30 o'clock
out of respect to the dead lawyer.
A DAZZLINO ELECTRIC DISPLAY.
Jonas Long's Sons Celebrate Their
Second Anniversary.
Al solid column of electric lights
blazes forth In effulgence and splendor,
dazzling tho eyes, ns you enter tho
Jonas Long's Sons' store.
This beautiful effect blazoned forth
last night on the occasion of the firm's
completion of their first two years In
Scrnnton.
Tho column surmounts the booth In
the centre of the store and rises nearly
to the top of the well-hole, a distance
of fifty feet. It Is three feet In diam
eter nnd contains over four hundred
Incandescent bulbs. To add to tho en
trancing scene, nearly a hundred ever
green trees embellish tho balcony pil
lars and railings. Each department.too,
Is dressed In holiday garb the spirit of
Yuletlde seems to pervade'evory corner
of the store.
The firm's second anniversary marks
a new epoch In Scranton merchandiz
ing. When the big store wns first
opened, Its Immense size, its many de
partments, Its progressive methods and
startling Innovations opened up a now
avenue of trade. That the response hns
been cumulative Is attested by the
firm's steady and healthy growth In
every department, numerous new ones
hnvlng been added, until the firm In
seriously considering the addition of
much-needed room.
The big store Is so unlike a store as
to reflect much of the spirit of a place
of amusement nnd entertainment, at
tho some time catering to the wants of
the thousands who pass within Its
doors dally and seldom go away empty
handed, BEFORE THE SUPERIOR COURT.
