EAGLES MERE.
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.

The sudden death of Mr. W. K.
Hadlock of near Athens, in the
woods near Dorsey's 'camp about
three miles from lticketts, last Sat
urday was a sad occurence. Mr.
Hadlock was 21 years and 1 day of
ape, and seemed strong and robust.
The coroner was notified and im
paneled a jury and secured the ser
vices of Dr. Mintzer, who couducted
the autopsy. The verdict reached
was that death was due to disease of
mitral valve of heart. Mr. Had
lock was seen to fall, and expired
in a few moments without speak
ing again.

Mr. John Hates little son is very
ill with summer complaint.
Perhaps it is not known to the
public in general the danger that
lies in the chances of infection from
house Hies. in other words that
Hies are a means of conveying a
number of diseases from place to
place, of late yearr it has l>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.
