MAYOR KILPATRICK
AND BOARD OF HEALTH
In a Communication to Select Coun
cil Last Night He Takes the City
fathers to Task for Not Confirming
Names of Appointees to Board of
Health, and Threatens to Take
Hatter to Court.
Mr. Mannion's seat was tins only one
vacant at the select council meeting
last night. The meeting was called to
order shortly after S o'clock. The fol
lowing names were submitted by May
or J. W. Kilpatrlcl: to 1111 the vacan
cies on the board of health: Dr. 11.
C. Wheeler, T. A. Kirkwood and Gil
bert Sampson. The names were v -ferred
to the committco on judiciary
and legislation. The following com
munication from the mayor was alto
received and read:
"Carbondalo, Pa.
"To Select Council.
"Gentlemen: I have sent you here
with the names of three citizens to 1111
vacancies in board of health, there be
ing only two members of that body,
whereas, an ordinance calls for five,
and I request your immediate action.
You must be acquainted with the
lacts which make it imperative on u's
as sworn officers of the city to at once
take necessary steps to protect the
health of our people. An epidemic of
small-pox is now raging in our near
vicinity. Our neighboring city of
Scranton has several cases of small
pox and stringent measures are being
taken by the city authorities there to
prevent the spread of the dread dis
ease. Wo cannot shut our eyes to tlv?
fact that any hour may bring the un
welcome announcement that our city is
not immune, wo have In this city at
present no board of health, and I do
not hesitate to say to you that the
responsibility for such a condition rests
on your body and there alone. The
records and the minutes of your coun
cil -meetings show that you have re
fused to aid me in the organization of
a board of health, and such being the
case, I believe that the censure of the
public for such a condition should bo
placed where it properly belongs.
Your body may by prompt action at
the present time, in somo measure, set
yourselves right before the people, and
I beseech your co-operation at once in
this matter. Let there be no delay,
for re3t assured that it through your
neglect tho public health is not only
threatened but actually attacked. If
the power to make and enforce nil
needful rules and regulations to pre
vent tho introduction and tpread of
infectious or contagious disease is
nullified by your refusal to act, the
people will not be slow to hold you to
a strlot accountability, and should T
deem such action necessary, I believe
it to be my duty, and I shall assume
the full responsibility of placing tho
state board of health in full knowledge
of tho condition of affairs in this city,
and I shall not hesitate to invoke the
aid of tho courts, should their help bo
required, for the protection of our
health and our lives.
"Mayor J. W. Kllpatrlek."

THE SCHOOL BOARD
DISCUSSED VACCINATION
Directors Dellovo It Piudent to Prc
paro for Possible Emergency.
Other Matters of Board Meeting.
The school board at Its meeting last
night gave somo time to tho discussion
of vaccination of the school children of
the district" a3 a prudent move in the
face of the spread of the small-pox
In towns down tho valley. No specific
action resulted, but the board made u
move lhat will fortify what action may
be necessary In the face of tho progress
of the disease In nearby towns.
The inntter was brought before the
board by President Hughes. He np
ptoaehed tho subject by declaring that
it was not a pleasant subject to dis
cuss, yet prudence dictated that tho
board take such steps at this time as
would enable it to act with' despatclt
and definite results in case such action
would be necessary. While tho health
statistics of Carbondale he went on,
are gratifying, yet it' would not bo
prudent to trust wholly to Providence;
the proveiblal ounce of prevention Is
particularly applicable In this case.
Mr. Hughes impressed on tho di
rectors that he was not an alarmist,
but ho was only urging due prepara
tion for a possibility that might be le
niote or olhenvlse It was his opinion
that tho public should know that tho
board was showing some interest and
concern in a matter so vital as this,
as ho anticipated u ready co-operation
on tho part of the public when the
public interest was being consulted.
President Hughes' judgment wns
readily concurred In by tho other di
rectors At tho suggestion of City Su
perintendent of Schools Garr, who was
at the meeting, Mr. Evans brought up
the matter of disinfecting the schools
at least once a year. President Hughes,
in discussing tho proposition, expressed
the opinion that such a move would
bo an expensive one, inasmuch as it
would require, to bo effective, tho pur
chase of a fumigating apparatus, or,
perhaps several of them at a consider
able cost. While ho believed the sug
gestion was a worthy one, yet ho did
not consider it good judgment to spend
the money that would be required for
fumigation, when there was not con
t igion present in the city The schools
are in a sanitary condition, ho believed,
and all that should be done under pres
ent circumstances, would be to remind
the janitors and others to exercise
care in their work of cleaning about
the schools
Tho discussion ended with the adop
tion of a motion that gave certain
Instructions to Superintendent Garr
which, when carried out, will inform
tho board as to how to deal with the
question of acclnatlon, should the
emergency ai lsc.
Aside from this, there wus nothing
of interest at tho meeting, except tho
superintendent's monthly report. This
showed the attendance for January to
bo 2,370; males, 1,111; females, 1,233.
As compared with January of last
year, thero was an appreciable in
crease, generally, enrollment, attend
ance, etc.
The following bills wore ordered
paid: Von Beck Bros., ?14.C1; Royn
shanhurst Water company, S2S.91; Con-s-olidated
Water company, $31.50; Lead
er Printing company, ?10.S0; Miners'

Treasurer Swigert reported that he
had received from Tax Collector Watt
5.1,000 on the 1900 duplicate, and 42,000
on the duplicate of 1901.

About General Gordon.
On Tuesday, February" 11, General
John B. Gordon is to come hero In the
Brockway lecture course and speak on
"The Last Days of the Confederacy."
As ono of tho active agents of that
body ho participated in the stirring
scenes which he will vividly describe in
tills city. General Gordon was born in
Georgia in 1S32 and educated at the
University of Georgia. Before tho war
l;e practiced law, and in 1S61 entered
file Confederate army as captain of in
fantry, lie rose through the various
grades and in 1S83 was a major-general
and corps commander. When the army
of Lee surrendered at Appomattox,
General Gordon was In command of the
second army corps. During hostilities
ho was wounded eight times and bears
on his face now an ugly sear made by
a union ball.
After the war he took a prominent
place among tho progressive men of the
south and in 1SCS was elected governor
of Georgia. In 1SCS arid in 1S72 ho was
a delegate to the Democratic national
convention and a presidential elector.
In 1S72 he was elected to tho United
States senate and soon ranked as ono
of Its moat brilliant orators. He was
elected to succeed himself, but resigned
to give more attention to his private
affairs. In 1SS0 and again in 1SSS he
was elected governor of Georgia and
in 1S00 was again chosen as United
States senator.
It may be of interest to add that
General Gordon entertained Admiral
St hley at Atlanta a few days ago.

how Young Women May Escape those
Terrible Monthly Pains and Sickness.
"Dear Mrs. Pixkiiam : I suppose sonic of my friends .would
call it immodest in mc to acknowledge to you what Lytlia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has done fot me, but I feel that seven
bottles which I took last fall and winter made a complete change in
my life, and broughtnew hopes and aspirations to me which I had
not dared think of when I was sick.
" For three years I suffered silently every, month ; I dreaded the
time, and while not sick in bed, I felt sick enough to stay there.
Cramps and bearing-down pains and wretched headaches were of
frequent, often daily occurrence, but your Compound quickly changed
all that. I am now in splendid health ; I have no pains, and am so
grateful to you that I feel I want to express myself, hoping it may
help some suffering one to health. Yours truly, Miss Mary Lenghan,
538 Park Ave., Brooklyn, N.Y."(
