Especial TO the PresS.l
AUGUSTA, June 29.-The State Board OF
Health met In their new rooms at the State
House today. all the members being pres
ent. 1t was voted that the Board be repre-
sentcd at the International Congress of by
giene, which meets in London, August 11th
and continues in session about ten days
The secretary. DR.. A. 9. Young, was select
ed to represent the Board, and careful re-
port of the proceedings and the great exhibit
of sanitary appliances, from personal obser-
walton, cannot fail to be of material benefit
to the sanitary interests of our state.
In the same line of work committee was
appointed TO confer with the board having
in charge the expenditure of the fund appro-
priated by the last legislature for represent
ing the state at th5 Columbian Exposition
In Chicago In 1892, to try and have the state
included with others in the sanitary exhibit
which will be feature Of the great exposi-
tion. 1t Is desired by the Board In this con-
nectiOn to show among other facts. the ad-
vantages of our summer resorts from hy-
gtenic point of view, and the efforts made to
secure for these places the best sanitary
management and surroundings.
Inquiries having been made from time to
time relative to the danger of contagiOn in
schools, from persons affected with tubercu-
losis, the secretary was instructed to take
measures to secure an accurate statement of
facts, and all available statistics from
sources where the death rate had been rep
resented as suspiciously large from this af-
fection.
1t is proposed to hold during the coming
autumn convention of all the local boards
of health throughout the state. This will
be under the direction of the State Board,
and will discuss sanitary matters of common
interest and compare methods and results In
the administration of our health laws in
different communities. 1t is hoped that this
will be of special benefit to the members of
boards In the smaller and isolated communi-
ties, as 1t will afford them information from
personal contact with others of larger ex-
perience. The arrangements are now in the
hands of a committee and full information
will be given all local boards later.

The Portrait of Napoleon,

The Bath Times makes some corrections
In the PREss's story of the daguerreotype of
Napoleon dead. The Times, which has
made investigations in Bath. says that ac-
cording to the statement Of the gentleman
who had the original painting In his care for
10 years the work was done when Napoleon
died at st. Helena, two paintings on ivory
being made. These paintings are about the
size CT postal card, though somewhat
shorter. The onesfrom which the daguerreO-
type was taken had gold frame aud was
piece of fine work.
The way in which the painting came to
America is rather interesting. Some go
years ago, Capt. Jacob Drummond was load
ing the Bath brig Caledonia with a general
cargo for Antwerp. While he was prepar-
ing to sail be was approached by a stranger
who wished to send across a small conslgn-
ment of freight. But on arrival at Antwerp
the man was unable to pay and so deposited
this picture in Capt. Drummond's hands,
promising to redeem 1t. But he never did
and so 1t was handed down. until now Il Is In
