ILLUSTRATED LECTURE.
Dr. J. W. EilenbeTger delivered t;is
illustrated lecture last night on rub
eronlosis—How to Prevent and How
to Onre It. " It was a most interesting
and instructive discourse.
«r In;opening!he adverted'to the Span
ish American war, tlie capture of
Manila, the fall of Santiago and the
destruction of the Spanish fleet, All
of this was secured by the sacrifice of
human life. A much greater victory,
however, was secured over disease and
death, a victory which resulted in
saving thousands of lives. Reference
was had to the prevalence of yeilcw
fever in Cuoa and the daring experi
ments of Drs Heed, Carrell and Lazi
er, two of whom died as the result,
but not until they satisfa torilv prov
ed the theory that the poison of yel
low fever is carried from one fever
victim to another by mosquitoes.
Others quickly made an application
of tiie dearly acquired knowledge. The
harbors an.l marshes were quickly
Cleaned up; coal oil was applied to the
breeding places of the mosi;uitc
and for the first time in centuries Cub.
was freed from yellow fever. These
men were martyrs to their calling,bu'
what a splendid victory they secured
No more do the people of our soutl
tremble with fear lest yellow fever in
vade the land. Its nature is known
The agent that formerly spread ii
abroad is recognized.
Typhoid fever is also preventable.
There is a decline from :i:)0 deaths tc
9!! per million people as a result ol
better sanitation and, especially, o
\>et:er drinking water. Diphtheria
scarlet fever measles and kindred sick
nesses would disappear if all who art
afflicted with them could be quarant
lned and all sources of contagion conic
be disinfected.
The prevention of disease has beer

toe thousand deal is to its credit
THE TUBERCLE BACILLUS.
The tuoercle bacillus is the well
known agent that is present in every
Instance of tuberculosis, bat .t is nol
the only factor in its production. It if
numerously present wherever men are
congregated. It is found in all tuber
culous iesious, although not alwa.s it
the same rmio. It is especially numer
ous in advanced cases of consumption.
Such a one will expel millions, possi
bly billions of tubercle bacilli in 2-i
hours. Wherever the sputum of a con
sumptive may be there may the germi
of the disease be found. They are us
ually present in the mouth and on the
lips from which they may be trans
ferrer. to a drinsing vessel. Recently
physicians secured tumblers that had
been used hy n number of school chil
dren and examined them under tiie
microscope. They found much dirt on
tiie r m including mud, particles ol
Skin, also germs of various diseases.
The germß of tuberculosis were there.
Tiie I'erms responsible for consuuit
tion,diphtheria, toiißilitis and kindred
diseases are so small tiiat numbers of
them may rest upon a pin point. A
Correspondingly small break in the
skin or mucus membrane may serve as
au open dcor through which they may
enter the system. If one is in perfect
health he may kill the germs. Under
other conditions, however, the germs
may kill the individual The dest
from rooms in which tuberculous pati
ents have lived has been found to con
tain active germs as late as six weeks
after the removal of tiie patient.
Among the lantern slides was a view
showing a houie in .Tuniata county,
Which doling teu years has been oc
cupied by three separate families and
in which during that period nine
oocupants have died of tuberculos
is. Eleven ether occupants have had
the same disease. In ten years JO peo
ple who have occupied tiiiß house have
had consumption.
Homes in which the disease exists
should be disinfected and rendered
safe. They should then have been kept
so by the admission of an abun iant
supply of sunlight and fresh air.

TO KILL ROSE
LEAF HOPPER
At tills season of the year, when the
roses are iu bloom, the damaging ef
fects of the Leaf-hoppers, or "white
bogs" under rose leaves, are uioet
noticeable, because everybody is at
tracted to the beautiful blooms, and
then confronted with the spectacle of
blenched and withering leaves and
bashes beiug denuded of foliage.
The rose leaf hopper i 6 most active
iu its operations about the n.M:tle of
June. Prof. H. A. Surface, the State
Zoologist, says : "It hat a
piercing or suctoria! mouth, and con
sequently does not eat away the tisst e
of the plant, but Injects a poison and
suets the juices. Owing ta their im
mense numbers- they cause consider
able damage. The eggs are laid on the
aider side if the leaves. The young
art! hatched there, and first IOOK lite
small white plant lice, bus are active
and run qoicklv. The white cast-off
eiics remain on the under sides of the
leaves. The young insects have no
wings, and, therefore, do not fly, aad
cannot escape the inaei ticides applied
as sprays. When full grown they are
light In color and winged, and jump
and fly quickly, and may escape the
spray. Where the hoppers ate at work
the upper sides of the leaves will pre
sent a grayish appearance along the
mid rib-. The whitened leaf denotes
their presence.
"Spray she under sides of the leaves
with a solution made by dissolving
oue pound of whale oil soap in sis
gallons of water,or with a very strong
tobacco decoction, or eight per cent,
kerosene emulsion or a very strong so
lution of any kind of soap. Being
sucking insects, they can not be billed
by the arsenical poisons, which are
used effectively against the chewing
insets. If the insects hop to the
ground you can destroy them by spray
ing the ground with a stronger solu
tion which will not there do any in
ur.v to the plants.
Tragic Tale of a Tragedian.
"The awfulest and the funniest
stage wait I ever lived through," said
it sprightly English actress, "was when
a certain well known London actor
manager, whose tioino I dare not
divulge, was doing a tremendous cttrso
scene on a darkened stage. lie had
the audience spellbound with his
sonorous declamation, which, of course,
they didn't know depended largely
upon his ample mouthful of false
teeth. At the very climax of his Wood
curdling maledictions the entire dental
collection dropped out suddenly in the
excitement of the moment and bound
id into some obscure hiding place. The
tragedian's mighty voice died down to
an unintelligible mumble as he groped
about frantically In search of the miss
ing masticators. We were all too help
less from laughter to 'no of much help
in this critical situation. At last, after
what seemed like half an hour of the
most hysterical suspense, the stage
manager located the teeth with the aid
of a dark lantern and restored them
to the frantic star, who clappe<l them
into his mouth and began cursing
again with redoubled earnestness. I
never knew what the audience thought,
and no one ever darfd to ask the actor
manacer."—Ne.w York World.
A Fixed Law.
"You are positive this happened on
Tuesday?" demanded counsel.
"I am," said the witness.
"Sure it was Tuesday?"
"Yes."
"Why not Thursday or Friday?"
"Because we had chicken that day,
Chicken day is Tuesday where I

PROPOSED PLANS
FOR SEWERAGE
Charles F. Mebus of the firm of A 1
bright and Mebns,engineers who made
the plans for the sewage dispoeal pUut i
at the hospital for the iusane, by re- i
quest while on a visit to this city, |
Monday, gave some valuable interna- |
tion relating to tiie new plans for
sewerage,conveying the sewage to one
outlet, and the purification of sewage
before it is discharged into the river,
which plans under the extension of
time granted by Health Commissioner
Dr. Dixon the municipality will have
to furnish by November 30th.
Mr. Mebufe is regarded as an expert
on sewerage and sewage disposal plants
and he was invited to meet tiie bor
ough council in special session Mon
day night Unfortunately, tiiere was
not a quoram present. Mr. Mebas,
however, iu au informal way proceed
ed to state his views as to the pro
position.
What was especially illuminating in
111- talk was the statement that the
proposed plans will cost the borougli
at leßrt £2500. He would not commit
himself to the statement that the cost
might not b3 considerably more
Mr. Mebns has been closely identifi
ed witli the Mate department of health
for years past and lie knows precisely
what is required by such plans as Dr.
Dixon lias asked for. He explained in
detail the enormous amount of work
involved to pro iuce a map or plans
Hush as required taking iu not only
the present borougli bat extensions in
all directions such as are likely to oc
cur daring the next thirty years. The
labor involved on such i\ map is all
high priced and the firm getting ap
the plans, be said, would be obliged
to employ a good many men. Mr.
Mebus said that at len-t ■f!,,joo would
have to be paid out for work done.
The greater care and attention to de
tail woaid be required in getting ap
the plans; otherwise they wonld not
be accepted by Dr. Disou. iu which
event they wonld be a total loss. The
map must show not only every street,
alley and building in the borough bat
also the contour of the ground. If ap
proved by the State department of
health it will prove a valuable asset of
the borough.
It is understood that Albright and
Mebus will putin a bid tor the work.
Their proposal will be submitted at
the next meeting of council In the
interim an estimate will be made
which will enable the to state the ex
aot figure at which they can make the
plans. Albright and Mebus will guar
antee their plans, which Implies that
they will be approved by Dr. Dixon.

A YEAR'S WORK
AT THE M. C. A.
The following report rf the work of
the Danville Y Men's Christian
Association for the twelve months be
tween May Ist, l»08 ami May Ist, 1 DC!),
has been prepared for The Morning
News by Cieueml Secretnry Mauley
from the report which he presented at
a recent meeting of the bosid of di
rectors of the association. The report
contains a uurnber ot interesting items,
revealing activity along linos which
are not generally known to be includ
ed in V. M. C. A. work.
In otir report last year we made some
suggestions tor thefntnre. From some
of these suggestions came plans which
later became realities—there are others
which are still plnns. We are glad to
be able to report, however, that ad
vancement has been made along al
most every line of association activity.
in the religions work department 7
men's meeting have been held with an
average attendance of over 100; !113
boys have attended the 15 boys' stere
| opticoti meetings and 84« men have
! listened to the gospel in the 31 shop
j meetings conducted.
The Eagles Mere ILkersclub at theii
i■' meetings have had an attendance oi
| 127. Four yocng men atteuded the
Bible Conference last year and 16 are
i planning togo this year. 21 rceetlng'
jof the Anchor dub have brought to
gether 177 boys
The -tereopticon has been a valu
; able accession tot le equipment cf tlx
! association; over 800 adult 6 and 15(
children having attended lectures giv
en with its aid in addition to those
; attending the boys' meetings previous
I ly mentioned.
One supper was held by the Ladies
j Auxiliary and they have rendered valu
able assistance in a number of socia
events Nearly 700 people have attend
| ed these.
The Star Coarse this year wa- i
marked success. All the entertain
uients were good, most of them excep
tfinally so, and were well patronized
About 2S,'O people attended tie differ
ent attractions.
la the educational department i
very successful ela-s in show card let
tering w:ts conducted with Mr. D. O
McCormick as instructor. Twelv
students were eurolled and splendi
progress wa- made in the twelve les
sons giveu.. Four practical talks wer
given with au attendance of till am
one lect• re attendance 100.
Nineteen visits to the sick wer
: made during the year, twelve directfci
to boarding houses and four situation
secured.
There has been more than usual act
ivity in the physical department
While the total attendance at tin
gymnasium classes has not been s<
great as last year the attendance at al
physical privileges has been greater
This Is due not to lack of Interest ii
the cla?8 work but to increased inter
est in other physical work and also i:
other departments of the association.
That the classes have been well at
t-nded and the work well done wa
e- ldeuced by the excellent showing a
the exhibition given.
The association has also taken a
active part in foot ball, base ball
basket ball, tenuis,track athletics aui
Held sports.
in membership there hat beenagaii
of nearly .5 per cent, sinre last rcpor
and the average da .v attendance ha
Increased more than ">0 per cent.
Financially the association, like ev
erv organization of similar nature
i has suffered. What steps it may b<
necessary in the future to take we cai
only conjecture. It is hoped that i
will not be necessary to decrease it
efficiency because of lack of funds.
The installation of electric light i
a feature that should net be passec
without mention. The utilitv and at
tractiveness of the building has beet
greatly increased by the addition Ou;
thanks are due to tiie borough council
for their action in regard to furnish
ing current, and to the men who bj
their financial aid made possible tlx
necessary wiring, we also owe a debt
of gratitude.
To the members of the Ladies Anxili
ary, who have so unselfishly laborec
for the success of; the association, we
are also greatly indebted. The verj
substantial financial aid furnished UE
and the assistance in the many social
events of the year have been very much
appreciated.
Golden Horseshoes.
Roman writers inform us that Com
modus caused the hoofs of his horse to
bo gilded. Nero when he undertook
short Journeys was always drawn by
mules that had silver shoes, arid those
of lils wife, Poppaea, had shoes of
gold. From a passage in "I>lo Casslus"
there is reason to think that the upper
part only was formed of those noble
metals or that they woro perhaps plat
ed out of thin slips. AVhen Boniface,
marquis of Tuscany, one of the richest
princes of his time, wont to Beatrix,
about the year 1038, his whole train
was so magnificently decorated that
his horses were shod with silver. The
nails were oven of the same metal.
His Selection.
Mr. Brown and his family wore
standing In front of the lions' cage.
"John," said Mrs. Brown, "if those
animals were to escape whom would
you save first, me or the children?"
"Me," answered John without hesi
tation.—Everybody's Magazine.

I preciatlon of that fact should cause us
; all the more carefully to follow the
| wise man's advice and to keep our
J heart with all diligence. When we
! have regard to the tremendous work
| the heart accomplishes we might well
I with 'Wesley say, "Strange that a harp
of a thousand strings should keep in
tune so long." Estimated ins untitle
! fashion, a man's heart in tv.\ :>nr
i hours perforins an amount oi work
which if represented by the energy dt
manded for a big lift wquld raise 1" i
tons of weight one foot high. Such a
calculation can be accurately deter
mined by measuring the force expend
ed in one beat or cycle of movement
of the heart and multiplying the short
work into that of the day. Thus in no
small degree does the heart's labor
contribute to swell the big total of the
energy the human engine expends
each day it lives.—New York World.
Revival of Maine Whaling.
| Southwest Harbor, Me., plans a new
industry during tiie summer in a re
vival of whale fishing. Whales are
said to be plentiful off Mount Desert
j rock and vicinity, and John Stanley
and sons have bought the steam yacht
I Princess from Oastine summer parties |
j and will utilize her fcr a whaling craft
j during the summer. The Princess is a
i flier, very fast, with 215 horsepower.
! and Is seventy-two feet long. Bomb
; guns will be fitted on her decks, and
■ she will go after the whales In dead
earnest. Each finny monster is worth
something like SSOO, and after ho Is
captured he will lie towed to South
west Harbor togo the way of all dead
whales. The prospect for the whales
this summer is by no means cheerful.

j considered quite desirable to have a
isuug scin of money oil hand so as net

A meeting of the committee of the
Mummers' Parade association was held
at the Hal Iv House, ou Tuesday even
ing, the fallowing members being
present: John Cruikshank, A. C.
float, Harry Ropp, Major Charles F
Gearhart, John G. Waite. Walter O
Green aud J. O. Mincemoyfr.
It was decided to enlist the aid of
the merchants of town in the project.
It was believed that if the business
men could be induced to close their
stores and other establishments for
half a day aud hie thein off to the
woods that one of the biggest picnics
that ever took place iu Danville would
result. Although the committee wants
the proceeds of the outing for a mum
mers' parade, yet it is to be d'stinc
[ tively a merchants' picuic aud is to he
known by that name. The place of
holding the picnic as well as the dat«
is to be left with the merchants.
Those present at the meeting resolv
ed themselves into a committee of the
whole to wait upon the merchauts and
see how they might regard the pro
position. By last evening a large num
her of the business men had been seen ;
as a rule they all tcok kindly to the
project. It will be a few days Liter
before tiie outcome of the matter will
| be made known. The committee, how
ever, is encouraged to believe tl.at it
will get the merchants interested and
that its plans will succeed.
