THE HEALTH BOARD.
steps Taken to send More Small-po'
Patients to the Hospital.

At the regular meeting of the Board of
Health, last night, complaint in relation
to the bad condition of Walnut street above
Fourteenth was referred to the Street, Com
mittee of City Council, and the licenses Of
the 0dOrless EXcavating Companies were
ordered to be renewed. r -
The secretary reported 25 new cases of
smallpox, 10 of which were in "Webb.
town." a suburb inhabited chiefly by col
ored people just beyond the western city
limits. Eighteen of the cases were sent to
the hospital. President Bush remarked that
"Webbtown" was in fearful condition and
that he had sent Dr. Ogie there few days
ago 10 vaccinate all persons liable to the
disease. A resolution offered by Mr.. Feas-
ter endorsing the presidents action was
adopted.
A man named Truman charged another
man named Mcbride and Mrs. Brown in
BrowntOwn with carelessness in allowing
their children to run at large while the
smallpox was raging in their homes at the
time. 1t was also stated that the disease
had appeared in a Swedish family in the
vicinity, caused by the McBrides hanging in
fected clothes In their back yard. The
action of the physicians in attendance was
severely criticized, and DIR. Grimshaw, with
the concurrence of the majority of the
Board, thought that it was criminal care
essness on the part of physicians to vacci-
nate and then not call to find out the re
suits. Examina ion of the facts in
the cases just mentio ed showed that
several of those who had taken the
disease had been vaccinated almost two
weeks previous, which was ample time for
the system to be inocuated. The olamc,
therefore, in the opinion OF the Board, he
longed TO the physicians for detective vacci-
nation. The Board order"d Executive
Officer schultz 10 get warrants for the arrest
of Mcbride and Mrs. Brown, and to prose.
cute them as soon as the disease has disap
peared from their houses. President Bush
also made some emphatic remarks, saying
that more patients should be removed to the
hospital and with that in view offered the
following, which was adopted:
RESOLVED, That in the case of all persons af-
fected with smallpox, unable to support thew
selves during the continuation of the disease,
the Board declares that necessity exists that
such cases be sent to the hospital.
The following bills were allowed: 2.

ing that the State had failed to prove that
Miller had received the goods, and that the
law clearly states that the accused
must received the goods Into his own hands
before he can be held for receiving stolen
property.
The defense opened by calling to the stand
James l.. Hawkins, by whom the they tried
to prove that Miller had never bought goods
from the boys.
Counsel for the State objected, on the
ground that the defense had not laid the
ground for such procedure The objec-

MRS. LANGTRY.
The English Beauty Before Whining
ton Audience.

ton Audience.
Mrs. Langtry, the "Jersey lily" the
famous English beauty, appeared at the
Opera House last night in Gilbert's beaut-
full production, "Pygmalion and Galatea."
The audience was large one and was eYi-
IDENTIFY prepared from the first to do more
than Justice to whatever of dramatic talent
and physical charm might be displayed by
the star of the evening. And though
this feeling was apparently kept up through
out the play 1t is not too much to say
that the general impression was one of
disappointment In every respect. In the
expectation of seeing even q passably pro-
ficient actress the disappointment was COM
plete while in the matter OF beauty the opin-
ions of course were as various as the tastes
of people generally are upon that subject.
Mrs. Langtry certainly is not homely look
ing woman, but we failed to perceive any
evidence last evening of those exquisite
charms either of form, feature or manner
about which we have heard so much from
English sources. Her appearance upon the
stage is pleasing, but not more so
than would be that of any
woman of fair intelligence and good
breeding who had had an equal amount of
stage training. Her performance cannot be
dgnified with the title of acting. She is a
poor reader and but for the intrinsic beauty,
both of sentiment and expression, of Gil
bert's lines they would have fallen fat upon
an audience that seemed eager to find some
thing to praise. In facial expression-that
essential requirement for the successful por-
trayal oithe finer emotions-she was utterly
lacking, and in some of the more pathetic
passages it was impossible to tell by her face
whether it was Joy or sorrow that was sup
posed to be moving her.
All this is said not harshly or with any de-
sire to detraet from whatever of merit is
Mrs. Langtry's deserved portion. We think
she has mistaken her calling, regarding it
either in the light Of an actress or probes
sional beauty, but she is undoubtedly max
ing money, and If she is constituted as most
other people are, that will go long
way toward eonsoling her for any
| adverse criticisms that may be made
| with reference to her charms,
physical or intellectual. Her support was
very good and prevented the performance
from falling below the line Of mediocrity

first base was filed by Bresnaham. Pyle
and Cusick were the Quicksteps' battery and
both played effectively. The home club were
weak at the bat, and what hits they did
make were scattered too much to count,
although Barber at one time reached third
base on clean, long hit. The decisions of
the umpire, Burt, were also against the
home club. None of the runs scored by the

of 81 1856 9S for the use ofwater plugs from
April Is, 1888, to January 1, 1884, was re-

The Increase in the amount of of the ap.

TO the fact that the new law, requires the
city to pay the $4,000 annually allowed for
new buildings and furniture, heretofore paid
by bonds, to be raised by taxation.
