WORK OF ASSOCIATED , HEALTH AUTHORITIES Socoud Day's Session of tho Annual Mooting at Meohanicsburfr Ques tions of Importance Considered. Mechanlcsburg, Pa., May 24. The second day's session of tho seventh nh nual meeting of the Associated Health Authorities and Sanitarians of Penn sylvania opened at 10 o'clock this morn ing. Tho devotional exercises were conducted by tho Rev. S. A. Stein, of St. Paul's Reformed church. Morltz O. LIppcrt, chairman of the committee on publication, presented the report of that body. Then followed a symposium on rural hygiene, at which several papers were read. "The Need of Proper Health Super vision in Townships" was considered by Dr. Robert S. Malson, of Delaware county, who Is medical Inspector to the state board of health from that county. The paper discussed the steps taken by tlio state board and Its friends to give legal protection throughout the state. The efforts resulted In establishing boards of health In cities of the third class. Roroughs and school boards In townships were finally authorized to assume this function. The author claimed that borough boards In the smaller places aro not efficient, because of local antagonism, the dearth of proper material for mem bership, the personal element Injected into every effort to abate nuisances, lack of interest among members them selves, deficiency In hygienic knowl edge and constant change In tho per sonnel of the boards. The paper advo cated legislation providing for a co health officer with deDUtles In each township, In order that all cases of contagious disease may bo promptly quarantined and epidemics thus avoided. Dr. II. D. Rashore, medical Inspector to the state board from Cumberland county, rend a paper on the danger which arises from tho lack of rural sanitation. Tho paper stated that al though hygiene has never made rapid progress and the larger cities aro un do rfalrly good sanitary laws, very little has been done for the rural dis tricts. The condition has 'become so bad In most rural places that It Is act ually healthier to live In a great city than in the country. Contnglous diseases are not thor oughly Isolated In the country and as a consequence people In whose houses such diseases exist ride on trolleys and steam cars and thereby endanger a large community. The lack of rural sanitation favors bovine tuberculosis and tuberculosis milk is in some cases carried to the city consumer. The state board of health authorities tried to obviate this lack of rural sanitation by endeavoring to have a law passed authorizing the appointment of rural boards of health officers, but the bill was defeated. The paper asserts that rural sanitation will be a paying In vestment, even If It does add one mill more to the tax rate. William II, Allen, of the University of Pennsylvania, read a paper entitled "Some Suggestions for Rural Sanitary Reorganization In Pennsylvania." A discussion followed tho reading of the papers, after which E. S. Wagoner, president of tho locnl board of health, presented the report of the committee on legislation, of which he is chairman. Tho afternoon sewsion was opened with prayer by Rev. T. C. McCarrell, a Presbyterian minister of this city. "The Sanitary Aspects of Epidemic Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis" was dis cussed In a paper by Dr. D. R. Mc Cormlck, of the Lancaster board of health. The greatest interest was manifested in the vdiscusslon that followed the reading of the papers. Miss Dora Keen, of Philadelphia, gave an interesting description of the workings of the pub lic schools In that city. Tho most spir ited discussion of the day was over the paper by Dr. Maison, which was Joined in by Prof. Leonard Pearson, state veterinarian; Captain Weaver, of Nor rlstown, nnd Major McLaughlin, of Allegheny City. The treasurer's report showed a small balance In the treasury. The election of the officers resulted In the re-election of all the present of ficers, as follows; President, Gover nor Stone; vice-president, Crosby Gray, of Pittsburg; second vice-president, Morltz G. Llppert, of Phocnlx vllle; third vice-president, II. II. Wh It comb, of Norrlstown; secretary. Wil liam R. Atkinson, of Philadelphia; treasurer, Jesse C. Green, of West Chester. At 4.30 o'clock this afternoon a reception was given the delegates at the Irving female college. At the evening session Dr. W. F. Ellgln, of Delaware county, gave an illustrated lecture on the theory and practice of vaccination and production of bovine vaccine. After the presen tation of reports of county medical Inspectors on tho recent small pox epidemic the convention closed. To morrow the delegates will visit tho Indian school at Carlisle and tho Gettysburg battlefield. ELECTRICITY'S AID. It Is Literally Used on Board a Mod ern Battleship. W. K. Curtis. In the ChlcaRO Itcconl. Down at Old Point Comfort the other day Cnptaln Folger, of the Kenrsarge, told me that they did everything on that battleship with electricity except to call the roll and scrub the decks. Sixty different motors of 4S0 horse power and 330 kilowatts furnish Z.iower for every device that was formerly op erated by steam. Tho ship Is wired on tho three-wire system, so that the motors can be operated at two voltages 1C0 and SO which Is analogous to the use of 160 and ISO pounds of steam. On tho previous .group of battleships the Indiana, Massachusetts and the Oregon class tho motors are only ninety-six horse-power and seventy two kilowatts. On Engllshships the use of electricity Is atill confined to In candescent lights, search lights and signal apparatus, but upon tho Kear sarge and the Kentucky steam pipes aro almost entirely abolished. From the central station tho captain can communicate with every officer by telephone either In battle or at anchor. It is unnecessary to keep aids and or derlies running from one end of tho ship to the other. It is only necessary for him to tell the boy at his elbow what ha wants dose, either In the kitchen or tho ammunition magazines or tho turrets or the englno rooms, and orders can bo given and reports re ceived as readily as If tho captain wero talking with his subordinates face to face. Thus the communication of all orders within the ship Is carried on over wires. All the lights outside and In aro electrical, The signals and all Indicators are attached to wires, and diving lanterns are provided, by which the bottom of the hull can be Inspected at any time. The turrets are turned, 1 i Little Tott I Love It. THE ILLS OP CHILDHOOD lmvo no terrors for mothers who have DR.

All the winches and hoisting appar atus on the several decks, all the ro pair shops and other machinery fit tings nnd all the ventilating apparatus aro run by electricity. The boats aro lowered and hoisted, all the machinery, armor, coal, ammunition, stores and supplies are taken into the ship nnd stowed away by electric power, and in the next group of ships to be built the doors to the water-tight compartments will be rigged so that tho captain can open and close them from the conning towor. All this makes it necessary for tho officers and sailors of the navy to have a thorough knowledge of the electrical science, and schools of Instruction, both for officers and enlisted men, with elec trical workshops, have been estab lished at Newport and at tho navy yards at New York, Doston, Norfolk and San Francisco. NON-UNION MAN ASSAULTED. Two Persons Hold to Bail as Result of Buttonwood Strike. Wllkes-Rarre. May 24.

Interest was still further constricted in the stock market" this morning and the market had fallen near to the point of stag nation when premonitory Symplons began to ap pear of distress on the part of some spcculativo interest. The market sold off khnrplv on a larga number of dealings than for tome time pan, This was explained soon after noon by the an nouncement of the suspension of Hrice, McC'or mlck & Co. According la the rule ol the ex change the suspension of a large firm wis fol lowed out of ouUtandimj contracts of the sus pended firm on the floor of the exchange. The rest of the day was practically devoted to this selling and buying under the rule operations be. ing almost entirely given over. The steel stocks were also much affected. There were decided re coveries from the lowest prices and the closing, while almost stagnant showed the net losses in the railroads generally reduced to fractions. The failure was primarily due to commitments In cot ton and the violent decline in the that staple of the last two days was the cause of the Arm s dif ficulties. Sugar continued the most actiie clock In the market and moved In a feverish md erratic manner all day. Its exlremo net decline was 2i and its loss on the dav is Wl. Humors clreluatrd during tho day rcgaidlng the Illinois steel pbnt was to tie closed dewn. The prospect thus of fered of possible reduction o! buying power in the community and of probable strikes and labor troubles caused rather acute uneasiness. The re duction in the bank of Hngland rate of discount was expected and pioduced little tflcct either in the London stock market or here. Total vales, 414,500 shares.
