SMALLPOX.

Panic In Montreal Court Room BY the
Discovery That the Father of a Small
Pox Patient Was Sitting On the Jury
Alarming increase of the Pestilence.
MONTREAL, CAM, September 17.-Dr.
McNeece, Assistant Health Officer, was in
formed yesterday afternoon that there
was case of smallpox in a small eating
house, opposite Bonscour's Market. On
going there with Officer NORM, the peo-
pie of the house would not allow him to
enter. Forcing an entrance, he saw men
eating their meals, and in a room adjoin-
found young lad very i'll wit the dis
ease. The boy was forcibly removed to
the hospital.
DR.. McNeece discovered that the boys
father was sitting on the jury in the
Court of Queens Bench in trial for
murder in which man n AIMED Considine
was accused of numbering Policeman
Malone. The doctor rushed to the court
and told the Crown Counsel, who in
formed the judge, asking leave to have
the jury discharged. Counsel for the de-
tense opposed this, as man was on trial
for his life, and threw the odium on the
Crown of keeping the man in suspense.
this and said it was case without
precedent. The Judge sent for the health
officers and the Chairman of the Health
Board, and, having heard their evidence,
discharged the jury.
The boys father walked right among
the lawyers, who scattered, amid the
laughter of all present. The Sheriff paid
him, and he was discharged from further
attendance, when he went straight to the
nearest house and 'Tiquored up" The
Court adjourned, and last night the health
officers were disinfecting the Court.
MONTREAL, CAM, September 1s-The
death rate from smallpox Wednesday
was the largest since the forty-two
French Canadians fell victims to the
scourge. The contagion is spreading at
an alarming rate in the suburbs on the
south side of the river. At meeting of
the Board of Health yesterday, which has
been recognized by the addition
of six members of the Citizens
Committee, it was resolved to en-
deavor by providing for the
families attacked, and by furnishing the
best hospital accommodation to prevail
upon them to isolate themselves, and If
by the end of the week this was not
done, to secure compulsory isolation. A
French Canadian member of the board
riot would ensue. The number of cases
is SO alarming that the authorities refuse
to furnish information to the press.

THE smallpox epidemic continues to
spread at Montreal, and the number of

The opposition of the French Canad ian
citizens to all sanitary precautions is
largely responsible for the terrible condi-
tion of affairs

Mexico is nominally governed
by a Congress, first called Septem-
Der IS, 1918, which has probably
seen as many vicissitudcs as any
assembly on earth has eve seen in
tine same time. 1t has been chased
Eere and there, dissolved, eXpell-
ed. recalled, and rcmoddled, until
II has finally settled down into an
established institution. 1t now
consists Of Il Senate OF aboat sixty
members. which meets in Il room
in the National Palace, and Cham
Der Of Deputies of some two hum
dred and twenty members, which
meets in the old Theatre Of Itur-
bidc, over hall a mile from the
National Palace. In appearance
this Congress could hardly be dis
tinguished from that OF the United
States. Full nine tcnths Of its
members are ii pure white blood,
and the other tcnth have no more
color than fashion demands Of u
stylish brunette. No traces Of rus
ticitv, c~oarsenesS, ignorance, OF
stupidity are visible, nor is III IRE
any sign Of what is generally
known as McNican costume. Both
bodies are composed OF eminent
soldiers, scholars, lawyers and
members OF other professions, with
Young men whose talents have at
tracted notice aud the members
show a degree OF politoncss and
dignity that would improve many
OF our State Legislatures. Their
conversation in the Hobbies and on
the iioor shows an extraordinary
degree OF culture and cducatiou,
and both bodies are the last to
which one would look for subservi-
ency to the Executive.
Theoretically this Congress is e.
lected by the people. Practically it
is elected by the President. y note

Sam Hawkins, the popular barber,
has recently had his shop refurnish-
ed in elegant style by his Democratic
patrons and friends. Mr.. Jno. c,
Latham, Of New York city, presented
him with three elegant newly i'm
proved chairs that cost $l65 in Now
York. They were sent TO him pre-
paid and Sam was naturally highly
elated at receiving SO useful and cost
ly present. His local customers
contributed other articles towards
refurnishing his shop, and he now
has by far the handsomest tonsorial
parlor in the city. Mr.. M. d. Kelly
donated handsome clock and sever
al other gentlemen gave pictures and
chromos TO adorn the walls. The
presents aggregate value of nearly
$3.50, and Sam is especially proud Of
the fact that with the exception of one
picture the articles were all given tc
him by his Democratic friends. VIZ
congratulate him upon the much i'm
proved appearance of his popular
shaving establishment.

Youthful Elopers.

On last Monday Charlie Pepper
and Miss Mamie Johnson, of the
Kirkmansville neighborhood, came
to this city and took the afternoon
train for Springfield, Tenn, bent OH
matrimony. They reached Spring
field in time to be married at s 80
O'Clock, the ceremony that united
them being performed in one of the
hotels. They remained at the hotel
until Tuesday morning and returned
to this city at 10 80 O'Clock. AS they
stepped from the train and ii became
known that they were married, quite
a lively interest was aroused among
the by-standers. In appearance the
couple were mere children. The
groom talked unreservedly and from
him 1t was learned that he was but
seventeen years old, while his bride
is not thirteen until sometime next
month. The husband is beardless
youth, small for his age, and the
bride is a comely little brunette who
was wearing the short dress usually
worn by misses of her age. They
belong to two of the best known fam
lilies of North Christian and the
youthful groom gave the informa-
ton that they had been "solid lovers
for two years" They mounted their
horses, which had been left at liv-
cry stable, and set out for home on
horseback as soon as possible after
the train arrived. The runaway cou-
pie were accompanied by Mr.. w. 4.
Mitchell and he and the groom were
both heavily armed to prevent inter-
ference from pursuers. Their reason
for clipping was a fear that parental
objections would be raised on ac-
count Of their youth and so the old
folks were not consulted. They are
married and happy now and we wish
them much joy. Their tender age is
something that they can in time out
grow and it is to be hoped that they
received the parental blessing upon
reaching home and that the future
may prove that their love is indeed
"solid," and not "the first mistaken
impulse of an undisciplined heart"
