For more than three weeks, it appears from present information there has been smallpox in Rockwood, and while every effort has heen made tokeep the infor- mation from the public, at the same time many people were being exposed, and today it is impossible to form any idea of whom has or has not been infected. Suffice to say, six cases were discovered in town, Wednesday, by Dr. H. Gary, of Berlin, who is health inspector, repre- senting the state board of health in Somerset county. About December 3, E. A. Malsberry went to Pittsburg on business. later he was taken ill. Dr. Hemminger, the attending physician, publicly pro- nounced the disease German measles. J.J. Kipp, whose wife is a sister of Mr. Malsberry, and with whom the latter boards, attended the jewelry store dur- ing the holidays, going to and from the infected house several times each day. There were those in town who suspected the case to be smallpox, but said little about it. At noon, Christmas day, the Malsberry store was closed, and George Malsberry and J. J. Kipp have not since appeared, but Dr. Gary's diagnosis, Wednesday night, was to the effect that Mr. and Mrs. Kipp and two small children are ill with the disease, and Mr. Malsberry is convalescing. We understand that Dr. Hemminger has not conceded that the ailment is small- OX. On last Monday night Dr. Hemminger reported to the council that Mrs Augus- tus Hoover, living in the alley just back of George Holzhouer’s store and resi- dence, was ill with smallpox, and it ap- pears she had been afflicted for several days, since the exposure must have oc- curred about November 25, when her husband’s brother, James Hoover, bad been there, and had developed small- pox, which Dr. Hemminger diagnosed as such at the time, as it now appears, and immediately notified the borough council and school board. When the case of Mrs. Hoover was reported Jast Monday evening, the bor- ough council was hastily called together by President J. D. Miller, and as far as possible made good its wanton neglect by naming a board of health, as follows: Dr. G. B. Masters, Dr. W. H. Gardner, Jacob Snyder, U. 8. Werner and Sam Buckman. These gentlemen met early Tuesday morning for organization. Dr. Gardner peremptorily declined to act, and Dr. D. Gildner was substituted. Dr. Masters was chosen president of the board and U. 8. Werner secretary. Dr. Gildner was elected health officer. The Hoover place was promptly quar- antined,and Dr. Gary, coming Wednes- day afternoon, after investigation ordered the Kipp home placed under like restrictions. On Wednesday even- ing Dr. Hemminger reported Harvey Coughenour ill with the contagion, at the home of his brother, Charles H., on West Broadway. The house and its occupants were quarantined after 9 o'clock. Prof. J. D. Snyder, principal of the borough schools, was a boarder at Mr. Coughenour’s, but he is said to have escaped the quarantine, and. after vainly seeking another boarding place, left town. A late report is that Mrs. Hoover be- came infected by washing clothes from the Kipp house. The plague is with us, but we have no reason for getting into a panic of fear, or acting the part of dumb, driven cattle. Smallpox has become one of the least fatal of the contagious diseases. in Ohio especially, the death rate being scarcely a half of one per cent. in year Returning home, ten days | © © A MAN’S NECKTIE! ~~ What the Manner of Its Arrange- ment Tells to One Woman. «I wouldn’t attempt to judge a man by his coat,” she said gravely, “put I would not hesitate two minutes to judge him by his necktie. It is an al- most infallible guide. Of course there are exceptions, but the character and intellect of most men can be told by the way in which they tie their ties. Now, take the overclever man, for ex- ample. “The tie of the genius has afforded much ‘copy’ for the pen of the satirist and the pencil of the caricaturist, but in reality any little peculiarity or idio- syncrasy in dressing is generally the outward and visible sign of vanity rather than of personal i) The average man, with an ordina#¥ share of intellect, seldom knows how to tie a tie as it can be tied and is ti:d by men with no intellect at all. He may possess a charming selection of the best ties which Broadway can supply and does not in the least look eccentric —nay, rather, he often wants to be as smart in appearance as possible, but somehow he rarely achieves his ebject. Directly you see a really beautifully tied tie (except in the cases of military men and actors, with whom it is a part of the training) which never moves out of place, following faithfully the little idiosyncrasies of contempora- ry dandyism, you may be fairly certain that you are not face to face with an undiscovered Shakespeare or an em- bryonic Goethe. Of course, in the case of a rich and important personage, the lesser details of the toilet are usually left to the valet, but even then I defy a man of real brains to keep his tie at the exact angle for any considerable time. At dinner you will generally find that by the time the soup has arrived the evening tie bas shifted its position or become obliquely set. This could probably be easily avoided, only it hap- pens that the way in which a man wears his tie indicates pretty accurate- ly “the wearer's intellectual apprecia- tion of trifles.—Toledo Blade. POINTED QUESTIONS. Put Yourself In the Other Place and Anawer. The great task of sound ethics is to stimulate the social imagination. We must be continually prodding our sense of social consequence to keep it wide awake. We must be asking ourselves at each point of contact with the lives of others such pointed questions as these: How would you like to be the tailor or washerwoman whose bill you have neglected to pay? How would you like to be the cus- tomer to whom you are selling these adulterated or inferior goods? How wold you like to be the in- vestor in this stock company which you are promoting with water? How would you like to be the employ- er whose time and tools and material you are wasting at every chance you get to loaf and shirk and neglect the duties you are paid to perform? How would you like to be the clerk or saleswoman in the store where you are reaping extra dividends by impos- ing harder conditions than the state of trade and the market compel you to adopt? How would you like to be the stoker or weaver or mechanic on the wages you pay and the conditions of labor you impose? How would you like to be the busi- ness rival whom you deprive of his lit- tle all by using your greater wealth in temporary cutthroat competition? — William De Witt Hyde in Atlantic.

The cases that exist are of the lightest form and are all convalescent, and the quar- antine is thoroughly established and rigidly enforced. The physicians who are attending the patients take every precaution, having provided themselves with impervious suits, and there is absolutely no danger of in- fection from that source. It is only fair to Rockwood. be the situation ever so bad, to say that the Commercial article is misleading and untrue from beginning to the ending thereof. — Children Poisoned. Many children are poisoned and made nervous and weak, if not killed out- right, by mothers giving them cough syrups containing opiates. Foley’s Honey and Tar is a safe and certain remedy for coughs, croup and lung troubles, and is the only prominent cough medicine that contains no opiates or other poisons. E.

New Year’s was the time of a very pleasant occasion in the shape of a surprise social on the lately married couple of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Jennings, of Jennings, Maryland. The participants are under obligations to Miss Gerda Maryott, of Jennings, and the Misses Warnick, of Manadier’s Ridge. The surprise was a complete suecess, as the congenial Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Jennings expected to be present, at this social at another home, but when the time came, the tables were turned and the crowd came upon them unexpectedly at their new home. The evening was spent in a most pleasant and entertaining manner. After refreshments were served and the New Year was appropriately wel- comed in, the crowd reluctantly dis- pursed with a most hearty invitation to return. And all agree that Mr. Stanley made no mistake in securing for himself the very congenial and pleasant helpmatpe that he did. The participants who were honored with an invitation and were present were the following: Misses Gerda Maryott, Myrta Otto, Allie and Cora Warnick, Annie Boyer, Mary Gnagey, Ida Warnick, Carrie Dorsey, Maud Bevans, Lucretia Warnick, Oma Otto, and Messrs. Dalton Cook, Clarence Bevans, Albert Reitz, Charles Layman, Mac Bowman, Lewellen and Urban Blocher,Clarence and Mahlon Warnick, Daniel Dorsey, Floyd Broadwater, E. E. Haselbarth and C. M. Tozer.
