CONCERT OF COLUMBIA CLUBS.
Fair Sized Audlenco Heard tho Ber
formers Last Night.
Tlic dice nnd Mandolin clubs of Co
lumbia university could scarcely have
hit upon n more unfortunate ditto for
their concert than last night. Many
of tlio Boclety people were engaged nt
the dunce bIvpii by Mr. nnd Mir. "Will
iam Scranton. Others were nt tin'
Wcslcyitn concert. Many college men
were In attendance upon tho I'nlver
slty of Pennsylvania banquet, and
last, not the least portion of tho com
munity, held to religious convlctloim
and went to prayer mpetlng as usual.
It was a bad night for Columbia, but
the boys had a fair audltnca ntter nil,
nnd one which made up In enthusiasm
for what It lacked In numbers. The
alumnae of Columbia are but pparaely
dlstilbtited In this region, and thus an
other advantage was lacking.
As to the concert, It must he said
that no more ploaMng coII'-ru enter
tainment has visited this city In many
seasons. Tho musical ability of tho
members wns superior In many re
spects. All gave evldot'cp of the value
of environment and careful training'.
There wus a largo aggregation In the
various clubs. The Gle club, under
the direction of Lee M. Hlngham, made
a tlattcrlng Impression.. There wcr
many fine voices and tho selections!
were given with great snitotbnrss and
harmony, nnd the worl; reflected great
credit on tho young leader, whoso tal
ent nnd versatility nre ko prominently
recognized The Mandolin club, di
rected by Mr. Oreglen, was most satis
factory, bringing out exceptional pos
sibilities of the Instruments ttiecl. Th"
descilptlve piece, "Tho Blacksmiths,"
was among the lust numbers. The
Banjo club was almost us pleasing.
Mcssis. riantcn and llmriiigtnn did
some excellent s-olo worl: In the vocal
part of tho programme.
ARCHER ARRESTED.
It Is Supposed That He Is the Man
Who Escaped From tho Lan
caster County Jail.
Deputy Sheriff II. F. Kerber, yes
terday arrested on Lackawanna uve
me, a man answering to the general
description sent out of Harry Adams,
n escaped com let. During thi mon'h
of November, n prisoner escaped from
Lancaster county jail, and has not
been heard of since.
Descriptions were sent out of his
general appearance, and the local po
lice officers were on tho outlook for
him. The man taken into imctody
yesterday has been around the city for
some time, and was regarded as a
suspicious character. He corresponds
closely to the description given, and
will be held at the jail,
until word Is heard from the Lan
caster authorities, who were Imme
diately notified.
A story Is told concerning him as
follows: A few weeks ago, Deputy
Sheriff Ferber met Smith with a
party of Ferber's friends, and ot the
time Smith was making tho state
ment that tho pair of haidiuf-'H did
not exist which he could not slip his
hands out of. Ferber, at this, pro
duced a pair, and tried them on the
i.rfful Smith.
Sure enough, the latter easily slipped
them off. Yesterday, however, as an
Interesting sequel to the story when
Smith was arrested, he was hand
cuffed with the self-same pair of
bracelets, but this time his cunning
seemed to have left him, and ho ar
rived at the county jail, securely
shackled. Ho there gave his name us
Archer II. Adams.

PREPARING TO
FIGHT DISEASE
SCHOOL AUTHORITIES PROPOSE
TO ASSIST IN THE WORK.
They Will Join Force3 with tho
Board of Health In an Effort to
Havo a Better Observance of tho
Rules That Are Necessary to Pre
vent the Spread of Disease School
Buildings of tho City to Bo Disin
fected nnd Fumlgnted This Week.
Tho continued nnd alarming prev
alence throughout tho city of con
tagious dlsense, cspeclaly diphtheria
and scarlet fever, again brings up th3
necessity of stemming onsluught.8 of
these diseases, nnd the members of tho
board of health nnd Superintendent of
Schools Howells luivo now pooled In
terests In a common endeavor to lessen
tho number cf cmkch as far iw mere
human effort can go.
Superintendent Howelhi Is of the be
lief that the present system used In
preventing the children of u house
hold adllcted with a transmlssablo dis
ease from attending school Is tho
thorough and complete u one as can
bo devised, nnd that tin- carrying out
of this system In the proper manner
Is what is required.
Ho has been In consultation with
Health officer Allen for some days past
and It Is tho Intention of thrso two
officials to formulate u set of t evolu
tions to be presented to the board of
control nnd to the board of health for
approval by both these bodleu. Thosy
resolutions will contain u clause pro
hibiting' any child from returning to
school until two weeks after the com
plete recovery of either the child It
self or of any member of the house
hold who has been suffering fioni a
contagious disease.
FIXING A PENALTY.,
Tho principal feature of the resolu
tion, however, will be a clause fixing
a penalty upon any teacher who falls
In any way to carry out tho regula
tions of the board concerning contag
ious disease. The school board will
undoubtedly pass their resolutions, and
If they do, Mr. Howells believes that
nny slight laxity In the enforcement of
existing rules and regulations which
might have heretofore existed on tlu
part of tho tearhers will bo speedily
and effectually done away with. i
The superintendent stated yesterday
that each and every school building Is
In perfect sanitary condition, but to
be on tho safe side, any one. regard
ing whoso sanitation, there Is any ,
doubt whatever, will be thoroughly i
Vn.gatod and disinfected during this
v eek, when school will bo closed for
the Jioikys.
What Is gonrally accepted as the
main nnd principle cause of Infectious
diase, however. Is the public funeral,
nnd at Its next meeting the board of
health will undoubtedly adopt some
drastic measures for the suppression
of this evil. As Superintendent How
ells eald yesterday, "XX e can prevent
children coming to school from an In
fected house, but we ennnot prevent
them attending funerals In an infected
house."
A CASK IN POINT.
A case, which Is but one of many,
is now being Investigated by tho board
of health. A little girl In a certain
section of the city died from diph
theria. A large public funeral was
held, nnd four of the dead child's girl
schoolmates acted as pall bearer,
coming to school of course, tho next
day as usual. None of these especial
children havo as yet contracted tho
disease, but medle.il authorities tell
us that a second party may convey
tho germs of a sickness from a first
to a third party without of necessity
contracting that disease themselves.
Tho board of health Is given power
by tho state laws to prohibit nnd en
force the prohibition of public fu
nerals In houses infected by a con
tagious disease, and It Is the intention
of the board to use a little of its
power from now on.
As nn evidence that contagious dis
ease is not on the decrease in tho
city It may bo mentioned that forty
seven new cases of scailet fever and
diphtheria havo been reported to the
secretary of tho toard of health so
far this week.

a friend of the family.
A few weeks ago John Edward Duf
