kMAN IN A CoNyTNT.
The inmates of the little convent building
in Harrison Place. Brooklyn. we're startled
early Sunday morning by the shneks Of a
Young nun Owing 10 the darkness and con-
fusion tho Mother Superior was unable 70 as
certain the cause of the trouble. she hhaly
succeeded in lighting haii gas burner. when

pastor OF the parish. whose residence adlOns

THE TYPHOID FEVER or MILD TYpK.
The typhoid fever which prevails in New
ark appears TO be of "a mild type, and the
physicians generally agree that 1t IS endemic.
and not epidemic. They strongly deprecato
the sensational publications of the last few
DAYS regarding the sickness. and believe that
there is 10 cause for alarm. Leading physi-
clans generally condemn the health officer
for his lack of Judgment, as shown III his
utterances and acts since the disease became
prevalent. Health Officer Titus promulgated
q theory III the beginning that water drawn
from wells not known to be poisonous was
safer TO use than aqueduct water. The words
attributed to him in an interview were that
there was not well IN town, unless situated
on cess-pool that wss not purer than the
Iassalc.
This Judgment the health officer has since
qualified. but he has adhered 10 the theory
that the aqueduct water is responsible for the
prevalence of typhoid. The disease Is chiefly
in the western section of the city and in the
vicinity of wells. In communication made
public yesterday, DR.. Charles Lehlbach caus-
fcally critcses the health physician. DR..
Lehlbach, who is supported by nearly, all the
local doctors, saws that there were in the past
outbreaks OF typhoid fever radiating from
wells before the people of Newark used
aingle drop of river water for drinking pur-
poses DR.. Hugh g. Henry is of the opinion
that the weather conditions this summer have
had much TO do with the disease. Many
cases Of sickness Of typhoid type are called
typhoid fever when they have no right 10
that name. but much simpler malady easily
treated. There were IN fact fewer cases Of
bowel troubles in Newark this summer than
twelve years ago when the population was
much less
