SMALLPOX IN ROCKWOOD.
Six Cases Diagnosed as Sueh by Dr.
H. Gary, State Health Officer.
Rockwood Gazette.
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.

scarcely a half of one per cent. in year

© © 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? —

sense in
in the Meyersdale Commercial, that
people are leaving Rockwood because
of fear of smallpox, is not true. 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

A Surprise Social.
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
