thirty miles, each at about thirty
points. The company will havo a
elx-track lino to Hidgowood, N. J.,
a four-track line to Port Jervls and

Is D. II. Building New Hand?
Allentown. Civil engineers are at
work between Tnmnq.ua and Dnnlels
vllle, running a lino for another rail
road. Through West Penn town
ship. Carbon county, their lines al
most parallel the new road now un
der construction by tho Lehigh and
Now England railroad. Tho lines so
far run aro along the Lehigh and
New England, except that in places
where they are higher up In tho
mountain.
The engineers refuse to discuss the
mntter, but admit that they aro run
ning a lino for another road. It Is
stated that tho engineers are at work
for the Delawaro and Hudson roal
road, which, during tho past few
years, has acquired considerable coal
land in the Schuylkill region, in
proximity to Paterson, and also in
the western end of tho county. Tho
Delaware and Hudson company will
thus secure an outlet for this traffic
independent of tho Reading, Jersey
Central or Lehigh Coal and Naviga
tion company.
OPEN AIK SCHOOLS.
By Knrl do Schweiiiitz, Executive
Secretary, Pciinsylvnnin Society
for tho Prevention of Tuber
'iilo.sis. In your town there are dozens of
palo anaemic, "underweight" chil
dren, whoso glands aro swollen and
who perhaps have persistent colds.
Tho parents of some of these chil
dren havo consumption. Most of
them aro living in unsanitary, poor
ly ventilated homes. Without special
caro these children are likely to be
come consumptives.
Tho open air school Is one of the
best ways of preventing this.
Schools of this type are conducted in
Philadelphia, New York and all of
the larger cities. They are held on a
roof, in a school room one or moro
of these side walls have been knock
ed out, or in some other place in the
open air. Tho children study and
play out of doors, winter and sum
mer, being warmly dressed for this
purpose in special clothing.
Open Air School Children gain
rapidly in weight. In a very few
months they aro as strong as other
children. What is more they im
prove in their studies.
To cure a consumptive costs at
least ?10 a week and it takes months
and years to effect a cure. The tax
payer foots the bill. Why not re
duce this bill by preventing consump
tion before it starts. The Open Air
School does this. Every town should
havo at least one.
Boy Found With Bullet in Bruin.
More excitement than has happen
ed 'In the West End of Monroe county
for some time, was occasioned by the
disappearance of Forrest, tho 13-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. John
DIetz, who reside about a mllo north
of Gilbert, on Saturday, and tho
finding of tho dead body of the lad in
a piece of wood, not far from the
family home, on Sunday afternoon
between 1:30 and 2 o'clock, with a
bullet would In the middle of the
forehead and a little below tho hair.
Tho revolver from Which the fatal
Bhot had been fired was found along
side the body. It was the property
of his father. Whilo the Coroner's
jury could not determine whether it
was a case of suicide, still it 1s tho
opinion of tho people of the country
side that it was, although they are at
a loss to explain why one so young
should nave committed such a rash
act.
Telephone Exchange.
A bill has been Introduced In tho
Now York legislature providing thnt
within three months from tho pas
sago of the act telephone companies
shall connect their exchanges with
tho other telephone exchanges In tho
same town, and shall receive and
transmit messages from ono to tho
other for a reasonable consideration.
This bill, if enacted into law, means
that hereafter it will make no dif
ference which company you rent a
telephone from, you can talk to any
one eiEo who has a telephone, no
mntter who ho rents from, provided
you pay for It. Ay, there's tho rub.
So many object to paying for it.

TRACE EPIDEMIC,
Fever In Coatcsvilic Might
Have Been Prevented.
ALLEGE FOUL CONDITIONS.
Typhoid That Ha Cost Fourteen Livei
and Hundreds of Cases of Illness
Due to Carelessness, It Is Said.
Blame Hospital Sewer Outlet.
Coatcsvilic, Pa.. Feb. 20. That the
typhoid epidemic which has already
cost fourteen lives, hundreds of cases
of illness nnd Intense anxiety among
the residents of this town might hnve
been prevented hnd the danger signals
been heeded is the feeling nmong
innny who look back to conditions thut
existed previous to the outbreak.
According to tho charges made in
this connection three rotten planks
warped, cracked and eaten through In
a score of places by storms and chem
icalshare cost the town, within the
past three weeks, the fourteen precious
lives nnd the many cases of illness.
These three planks were plain, rough
inch nnd seven-eighths poplar timbers.
One formed the bottom of a sluice,
flume or ncqueduct and the other two
the upright sides. It is about three
feet wide and two feet deep.
All the refuse nnd nil the overflow
from the Coatcsvilie hospital, which
crests tho hills on the far side of
the sauccrllke valley, It Is nsserted,
flows into thl deadly aqueduct or
flume. This horrible surge does not
flow across the wooden trough. There
are too many holes nnd cracks, too
many warped Joints nnd openings in
the trough, it is said, for anything to
flow through it.
All this refuse from the hospital or
nearly all falls into a tiny brook that
runs from the station from which wa
ter, it is charged, is pumped into
Coatesvllle's reservoir, through a mill
nnd on to Coatesvllle's great sewer
Brnndywlne creek.
At a point 100 yards below the pump
ing station between the station nnd
the mill the wooden aqueduct crosses
this continuation of Sucker Bun, or tail
race as it is called.
In times of freshet or In days of
heavy rain the three planks are over
flowing with the refuse from the hos
pital. On other days a steady flow
seeps into the flume and percolates into
this tailrace.
When the pump at the station broke
down on Jan. 10, tho authorities be
gnn to worry nbout fire sen-Ice.
For four dnys thereafter this Iron
monster pumped into Coatesvllle's res
ervoir, from which the town obtain
its entire water supply, all the germ
laden flow pi Newlln's IJun. which, if
it were not for the excess from the
hospital, would be nothing but n dry
ditch. It is thought by many thnt n
good part of the contents of Newlln's
Bun between the place where the two
pipes from the hospital disgorge their
contents of the tailrace, Is composed
of sewage.
For two weeks and more Coatcsvilie.
it is charged, was drinking this sew
age. And then came the scourge of
fever.
Coatcsvilie is starting to uncover Un
political deadwood. The disease Is
checked. There are fewer daily vic
tims, because no longer is the auxiliary
pump casting the refuse from the hos
pital into the reservoir. The old pump
ing station is working again. The
aqueduct is still there, filtering into the
tailrace, but that refuse is sweeping
into the Brandywlne. Hypochloride
plants have been instnlled at the
pumps and nt the gravity dam by the
state authorities.
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, state commis
sioner of health; his nssociute, the
chief medical Inspector, Dr. C. J. Hunt,
nnd .Miss Katharine Gillespie, state
nurse, have practically tnken over the
powers of the Coatcsvilic board of
health and nre In full chnrge of the
water supply, the hospltnl nnd the
emergency hospital.
WHITE DEFENDS DEMANDS.
Head of United Miners at Indianapolis
For Conference,
Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 29. John P.
White, president of the United Mine
Workers, representing both the mi
thrutite and bituminous miners, who is
head of the conference committee of
the anthracite mine workers which is
to meet the operators in New York
city on Murch 13 in connection with
the wage demnuds, Is in Indianapolis.
President White will arrange ut once
for conferences of the bituminous min
ers nnd bituminous operators. He Is
noncommittal as to the chances of a
strike.
"We aro not looking for a strike," he
said, "but will insist on our demands
notwithstanding anything that has
been said or may be said to the con
trary. The miners are better organ
lied than they over wero before."
Ho defended the demand that the
anthracite operators withhold the dues
to the union from tho pay envelopes
of members, which would virtually
make the operators collectors for the
union, und suld:
"This plan is geuernlly In use in
most of tho bituminous districts, and
on account of the large areas over
which the mine workers are spread
such a system is a good one."
