THE BOARD
OF HEALTH.
Proceedings at the Regular Meeting
Held Last Evening.
DECISIONS BY THE BOARD
Discretion Will be Exercised in the
Placarding of Houses Where Measles '
Exists Disinfecting Places.
A regular minting of the Hoard of
Health was held in the Council chamber
last night with President Spalding,
Messrs. T, F. Wiles, James B.McHale,
Secretary Scanlan and Health Officer
Miles in attendance.
President Spalding called attention to
a case or measles aiscoverea on ivas&
Centre street. The parents of the child
nfllictcd came to Shenandoah from
Mlnersvllle to visit friends. In, the
house visited was a saloon., When
the case was discovered the Health
Officer proceeded to tack np a notice
on the saloon 'door, the only entrance
to the building. The proprietor objected
and to avoid trouble thearents of the
child yesterday wrapped ft in blankets
and went back to Mlnersvllle, even against
the advice of the physician. Dr. Spalding
said it was an odd case. The occupant
feared the placard on his saloon door
would injure his business and could not
allow the visitors to remain, and the life of
the child was endangered by the removal,
The board discussed the matter and Anally
agreed that in cases of measles it was the
intention to use the placards with dlsore
tlon and the rule will only be enforced
where anvjfildemlc of the disease Is threat
ened.
Health Officer Miles wanted to know
what steps were required before allowing
a new tenant to move Into a house in
which a case of diphtheria had recently
existed. President Spalding read the
rnle which provides that no person shall
let or hire any house or room in which
communicable disease dangerous to the
Dublla health has recently existed until
.hi'placo''aud the connected premises
have been disinfected to the satisfaction
of the Board of Health.
The epidemic committee was instructed
to purchase disinfectants for use by the
Health Officer.
Complaint was made that two pigs are
kept in a yard at the rear of a South Main
street house.
It was decided that a cheese manufac
turer on East Line street must pay an
annual license of five dollars.
Secretary Scanlau reported that since
the last meeting there were reported two
cases of typhoid fever, two of diphtheria
and one of measles.
The Health Officer presented the follow
ing report, showing the results of his
tours of the town : Well full on South
White street, between Centre and Oak,
parlies have promised to put iu sewer;
well on West Centre street, between
Jardln street and Pear alley, found
in a filthy condition and remedied;
ash bin on South Plum alley cleaned; hog
pen under a kitchen on East Apple alley
removed; nuisance from sewer at Shenan
doah Hat & Cap Company's factory abat
ed ; blocked sewer on North Plnm alley
opened; ashes and rubbage taken from
under a building on South Main street
ash bin on North Pear alley cleaned ; no
tice given to abate nuisance on West Rasp
berry alley; ashes removed from Market
alley, between Centre and Oak streets;
barrels of oyster shells and ashes on South
Bower street removed ; notified tenants to
stop dumping refuse on West Lloyd street
notified agent of property on South Main
street to have a well cleaned ; paper scat
tered on North Pear alley removed; the
High Constable removed several dead anl-
mnls.
Saturday Night at McElhenny'.s.
That the evening lunches given at Mc-
Klbenuy's cafe have become popular is
evidenced by the fact that he has been
requested by a number of his patrons to
serve to-niuht that favorite and delicious
lunch, mock turtle soup. He invites the
public in general to vIhU the cafe and
enjoy the same. He will have plenty for
everybody.
Successful Season.
The fair of the vestry of All Saints'
Protestant Episcopal church closed last
night after a most successful season. A
muslcale of excellent merit was given
under the direction of Mrs. O. H. Brldg'
man and was very much enjoyed by the
large audience. There were several violin
solos by Mrs. Bridgroan, cello solos by
Rev, Bridgman, piano Bolos by Miss
Bertha McCarroll, of Delano, vocal solos
by Miss Balle Brown and Messrs. W, J.
Jacobs and Jesse Hughes, and recitations
by Mies Eva Brewer and Harry Boughey.
Mrs. Brldgman's violin selections were
especially fine and the hearty encares
were well deserved.
Mock turtle soup free at MoElbenny's

A Talented Pupil.
One of the most notable features of the
musicalo at Bobbins' opera house last
evening was the piano solo so artistically

An Occasional Correspondent Writes
on Different Topics.
WATER WORKS MOVEMENT.
It is Suggested That Before the Pottsville
People Act They Should Await Re
sults In Shenandoah.
Special Heha.d correspondence.
Pottsville, Nov. 30. If I could get
hold of tho compositor who "set up" my
last "copy," or the proof reader, or both,
I would be tempted to wreck vengeance
upon them, or either of them. Why they
should substitute the word "birth" for
"berth." as used in my "copy," I do not
understand. I simply call attention to
the mistake to Bet myself right. But It
is humnn to err. The other day a writer
referred to my friend W. F. Richardson
as n Grand Army man, when in fact he is
not one. He Is, however, a National
Guardsman. There Is a difference between
the two.
The people of this place are beginning
to get hot over the water question nud the
wator company is becoming anxious. The
Journal seems to be making a record for
itself as an advocate of the people's Inter
ests In all directions. Flrstlttook up and
successfully handled the cheaper bread
question, and now it Is taking up cheaper
water and at the same time doing noble
service for the affilcted people of Mt. Car
bon. The other dallies profess to sanc
tion the Journal's course, bnt it docs not
Bfrike me that they are enthusiastic over
Jt, As for myself I am not nn enthusiast
On the water movement. I sometimes
think there is a big job behind It. But
aside from that, I would preferseelng the
Shenandoah water works given a
trial before sanctioning a movement
here. Ashland has public water
works nnd I know the people of
that place do not look upon the works
as a mint or great monej saver, and
Mabanoy City voted down a public water
works proposition, so I feel like awaiting
results In Shenandoah before becoming
enthusiastic over the water works project
here. It the people of Shenandoah sue
ceed In paying all running expenses,
interest on the indebtedness incurred,
part payment on the principal and give
the people water nt ratea lower than those
charged by the company now supplying
that borough then I will be one of the
flMt tosay "Go ahead, Pottsville " But
It the people of Shenandoah fall to do it,
what advantage will be gained f At
least, what encouragement will be held
out to us to make tho water works a
public plnnt f
Judge Pershing's recent declarations
concerning the maintenance of slot ma
chines, pool and billiard tables and other
gambling devices In saloons' has been
strongly commended. If Judge Pershing
adheres to tho declaration, and I have no
reason to doubt that he will not, there
will be n big reduition in th) number of
saloon licenses next spring, or some
mighty thin .klnned swearingl before tho
court.
There Is another thing to which the
court should direct its attention and that
is the practice of using saloon licenses ns
an adjunct to the real estate market. This
conld be stopped by giving mora atten
tion to the circumstances bearing upon
the necessity for granting licenses to new
stands,
The appointments to be made by the
County Commissioners for next year is
excltlug considerable attention, inasmuch
that a deal Is said to have been made,
with Major S. A. Losch as a shaping
hand. Should the report that Clerk Phil.
Connell is to go be fulfilled the county
will lose a most excellent official.
Mr. Miller, manager of Dives, Pomeroy
uud Stewart's store, is a whole-souled
gentleman. Many of our people would
do well In following the examples besets.
His generosity was felt on Thanksgiving
Day by the employes of the store and the
Inmates of the Children's Home.
Speculation as to whoSherliT-electSoott
will make his deputies is running high.
It is believed in some circles that Mr.
Scott had his slate made before the elec
tion and It will not be broken. Mr.
Breckous will be the Sheriff's counsel nnd
Messrs. McGInness. of Frackvllle, and
Edward Roberts, of Shenandoah, are said
to be fixed upon as deputies.
If Congressman Rellly has the Influence
with the government he has always
claimed he will give us the much prom
ised public buildings before he retires or
forever hold his peace. All that it re
quired is the appropriation and it can be
secured with little hard work.
Capt. Jack Crawford, of New Sfexlco,
better known as the "poet scout," shook
bauds here with many of his old comrades
nnd friends this week. "Jaok" enjoys
the reputation of being the best known
nnd most popular frontiersman of ,tho
country. He is meeting with great suc
cess on the lecture platform.
