MIDNIGHT vIslroRs.-Philip, the urbane

taurant, had an adventure Sunday night.
Philip sleeps in the room in the rear OF the
bar, and was lying on his couch about !
A. ", locked in the arms OF Morpheus,
"when suddenly there came tapping, as
OF some one gently rapping, rapping at the
outside door" A door opening into q
hallway which leads into an alley had
been left unboltcd, and as Phil. was
rubbing his eyes and wondering
who could be wanting in at that hour
Monday morning, the door suddenly flew
omen, and IN individual who apparently
was not at all familiar with the premises
stepped forward and tumbled headlong
down the steps into the saloon, followed
by several others in an equally unceremo-
Nous and highly indecorous manner.
Phil. sprang out Of bed and made prepar-
atoms to hold the fort, but upon seeing
him in warlike attitude his mysterious
visitors promptly took to their heels and
disappeared as mysteriously as they had
appeared.

DIPHruEMA.-Spsadof he Disease in Til
City-Diphtheria Is fast becoming an cpl
demic in some portions OF this city, Il 1t
has not already become one. A number
ofchidren are now stricken down with II,
and the reports Of deaths to the Health
Officer are fast increasing. During the
past month there have been at least fifteen
deaths from this disease, the majority oc-
CURING right in the heart Of the city. The
extent Of the disease cannot well be given,
but It Is enough to know that there are
any amount OF cases in the city to-day. 1t
seems to follow the creek and the river,
the Fourth and Seventh Wards being par
ticularly afflicted. In the latter ward there
were three deaths on Saturday and Sun.
day, and several dangerous cases are re-
ported. ra a
In conversation last night with prom
inent physician reporter for this paper
was given some interesting points in re.
lation to the disease. Diphtheria spreads
through contagiOn. The disease is q
most infectious and dangerous one. and
difficult to check when once attracted. A
good many cases exist where no immed-
late causes can be discovered. The prin-
cipal cause undoubtedly is contagion,
while many cases are attributed to defect
i've sewerage, impure water, bad air,
danpness, foul odors and filth OF all
kinds. Gases often occur where too
many children are crowded into one
room, or where the rooms arc damp
and so situated that they cannot be prop
erly aired. Some people crowd their
children into dark, cramped.up rooms, and
reserve other andmore airy apartments Tor
parlors or sitting.rooms. Parents should
make it q point, whenever possible, TO
give their children light, pleasant and airy
rooms to sleep in, where the sunlight can
get in TO them during the day time and
leave the atmosphere fresh aud clear for
the night. Plenty Of airandgoodv ventilation
in slecping-apurtment arc the best
representatives.. The minute child is taken
down with the sickness the first and most
important thing to be done Is to see that
it Is perfectly isolated and kept away from
other members OF the family, particularly
children. Then care should be taken to
remove from the sick room every particle
OF clothing or anything that the atmos::
phere is likely to come in contact with and
thereby become spread TO any other place.
Our attention was called by the Doctor
10 the fact that in other cities tho ordi-
nances require that every case OF diphthe.
ria shall be reported to the Health author.
tiles immediatelyu upon its being discovered
by any OF the city physicians They do
not request physicians to do this. but order
them, and they are violating an important
law when they fail TO report every case
that comes under their observation. 1t is
