The steamer was out of service for a short time on Saturday but the difficulty that could not he repaired in the Machine Shop of E. S. Chase & Co. would have to lie very serious indeed. The Light (Jo. adjusted the street lamp switches all over the llorough on Friday last anil now the Power Plant runs every day to drive the pumping machinery for the Water Company. It has the odd effect of turning on the light rather unexpectedly in the hotels and some of the cottages and makes it possible to have light dur ing the day in dark places. We hear that the company lias some other comforts and conveniences in reserve for its patrons. The Carnival was a huge success as it always is. The decorations and illuminations evidenced very much taste and inventive genius. The first prize was unanimously conceded to Hotel Raymond young people for a float fitted up with a camping scene. / miniature bombardment was maintained from the float dur ing the entire time of the carnival. Everybody shouted themselves hoarse in applause. The second prize went to Crestmont for a mini ature copy of an old time, walking beam ferry boat whose machinery kept a rhythmic movement as long as it was in sight. The suggestion was odd and novel in the extreme. The third prize went to lakeside for a representation of"The Court of the Duchess" which was victori ous on account of its beauty. The fourth prize was awarded to Rev. V. Ward Denys for a boat beautifully decorated with all red lanterns. This scheme was recognized as decidedly unique. The evening was all that could be desired and the movement of the fleet under the direction of Captain Chase produced a scene that will be remembered until next year. The excursion of the St. Paul's Evangelical Church of Williamsport on Tuesday of last week brought about three hundred and they had a favorable day. They certainly went home with good opinions of the place. It seemed rather odd to sec 1 an ad vertisement of the liar Tenders Un ion No. 185 having an excursion to Eagles Mere on last Thurday but they were here and did not bring much bar with them. Some of them found one and did a little practicing while here. It was said that about three hundred came in Ibis party also. It is said that Eagles Mere Chau taflqua has definitely abandoned the Chautauqua features and decided to operate the entire scheme as a sum mer hotel with an amusement annex and that it has beenjfound very prof itable this summer. Improvements are reported to be in contemplation in the way of a new auditorium and an enlarged light plant for which it is reported that a one hundred horse power engine has been purchased. The Assembly for Religious and Educational purposes will not be continued but developments will be sought in other directions. The tide of returning guests bound for the city has just begun but every thing is crowded full and indica tions of its continuance until the be ginning of September. Mr. L. 11. Alexander and wife of Philadelphia are at Hotel Eagles Mere. They have not been at Eagles Mere for a year or two and have been much missed as Mr. Alexander was always much interested in the Carnivals and other public events. His boat carried off the prize more than once in the Carnivals. At 11 o'clock on Saturday night the Chautauqua bell was rung and all the people in the hotels and cot tages hurriedly donned clothos and prepared to rush up and help sup posing a serious fire was in progress. ! Investigation developed that it was 1 a lost boy that was the cause of all I the racket. About midnight a score of searchers started out to hunt through the woods and part of them found him slowly wending his 'way along the Mineral Springs Path. He insisted that he was not lost and was taking his time to return and that except for worrying his mother he would not have gotten buck until next day, Sunday. He seemed to be utterly oblivious of the serious fright he had caused to about two thousand people. He seems to have achieved some such performance before. If your correspondent ever be comes responsible for the maternal care of such a l>oy old fashioiHK.l methods would be in demand in a very vigorous fashion. Very little business came before the Post ()tHce Club but the Secretary called attention to the statement in the Williamsport Sun that the ther mometer a few days since registered only 3ti degrees, and suggested that a communication be sent to the Sun to ascertain if the reporter had not been out all the night before and met with some contingency that requir ed his head to be done up in ice a id that in this condition he took the temperature. The expediency of such a letter was left to the Secreta ry in view of the fact that newspa pers never correct and perhaps the next report might be below freezing pointowing to some similar dllHcul ty. —« LOPEZ.

Heverly and family and John I Tamer and family of Dushore, een rec ognized by the medical profession as the source of great danger to the hu man race, just as in the fast few years it has been demonstrated that the mosquito conveys malaria and yellow fever. Take u case of typhoid fever for for example, when it is found that the source of infection cannot possi bly be from the water supply and the patient has not had access to possible means of infection outside of their own home, then comes the question, how did the patient con tact typhoid? The only chance of infection is by the "open door" fig uratively speaking, the germ in nearly if not quite all cases gaining entrance to the body by means of things eaten or drank, we naturally look to the food as the source of in fection, the water being eliminated jas a possible cause. Now how does ! the food become dangerous? It be comes so just so much as it is possi ble for it to be contaminated by (lies. The course is something like this: Mr. fly in his daily rounds alights on something (mostly contents of sinks or cesspool) which contains the germs of typhoid, then perhaps his next call will be a house one fourth mile away, he seeks entrance and in most cases finds it and naturally looks for something to eat and alight ing on this, some of the germs cling to the food which is then eaten by some one and so comes the disease. The best way to'prevent this is to keep all food where Hies cannot get at it, and another thing keep all sinks and cesspools covered and use lime freely. MVNCY VALLEY. Rev. J. A.
