AS 1t is now, the water runs off, but the
solid fetid matter remains, lodged in the
pipes at the angles crossing each OF the level
streets. That explains the stencil at every
street corner. and if not attended TO will
cause a general epidemic of diphtheria and
typhoid fever.
Il am confident that there are a large
number of lepers among the Chinese, and
the board. accompanied by police officers,
should make thorough examination OF
Chinatown, with view of quarantinng all
the cases of contagious diseases.
The location Of the PesthOusp, or Twenty
sixth street Hospital is also involved. In
Vienna, the peSthouSe is part of the general
hospital, and | believe the lepers could be
cared for in separate building erected at q
cost Of $3.50, in the spacious grounds of the
present hospital. There they would receive
better attention at a lowar cost than under
the present arrangement, and property
owners would not be distressed at the proX-
unity Of the Pesthouse to their homes"

Lithographing "A Laugh.

The people Of The East have been talking
about Autograph lately. 1t probably
seems very silly that grown people should
talk about anything so ordinary but 1t SO

most extraordinary, and it has history.
1t is the picture of wOman's head cut off
sharply just under the chin. SO that the

TIE COUNTY HOSPITAL

The board is puzzled what to do in refer
ence to the City and County Hospital. All
the members say that it is ramshackle old
building, which has OutlIved its usefulness,
and they think new quarters should be pro-
vIdef. They all think or say that DR.. j. ii.
Healy, the Superintendent, has greatly i'm
proved the management and conducted the
institution with tho fullest regard to sani-
tary measures and scientific treatment.
There is a general belief, however, that
what member called 'his unfortunate per-
sonalty and rough manner" has prevented
him from attaining the usefulness expected
of the Superintendent. Strong influence
has been brought to bear to secure his re-
moya, and his office will almost certainly
be declared vacant at either the December
or January IN citing of the board
DR.. Martin Regens berger has a number of
reformatory measures, which. in com mon
with the other mem bers, he hopes to inaugu-
rate. The sewers should be flushed every
day with salt WATER he said. Reservoirs
for holding the water could be built on top
of one of the hills. and sufficient pressure
could be obtained for cleaning out the pipes

RADICAL CHANGES.
The Policy of the Incoming Board
of Health.
Superintendent Healy of the City and County
Hospital and City Physician Yeamans
to Be Deeap.tated.

Although the new members of the Board
of Health will not be seated until the 23d
inst, and while they do not wish to antici-
pate their official organization, they have
already determined upon a general policy,
and have found that they are In perfect ac-
cord upon the more important matters which
will come within their jurisdiction.
There are 100 names upon the payroll Of
the Health Department, and while there
will be number Of changes, none will be
made Immediately, and there will be no gen.
eral decapitation. At the December meet
ing of the board, however, several heads
will be served on the official char ger.
DR.. ii. w. Yeamans, City Physician, will
be retired, one of the members of the board
yesterday answering an inquiry as to his
fate by remarking, "Dr. Yeamans' name is
mud" DIR. r. E. Williams, Police Surgeon,
will be continued in office, at least Tor the
present. Several changes viii be made in
the management of the Recei wing Hos pital.
The board Will insist that a surgeon shall
be in constant attendance, and physician
VIII be appointed whose duty will be to con-
duct an autopsy when required.
EXCELLENT REASONS.
lhere are two excellent reasons why the
Police Surgeon should not conduct an au-
topsy," said DR.. G. J. Bucknall. In the
his diagnosis or treatment his own autopsy
Will not reveal these errors. Then again,
suppose man is brought in with gun
shot wound Immediately after the surgeon
has conducted post-mortem examination,
his dressing Of the wound may be attended
with grave danger to the patient
1t has been definitely settled that among
the officials whom the board will certainly
retain are DR.. James w. Keeney, Health
Officer; DR.. w. M. Lawler, Quarantine Off
cer Secretary John Hoesch and his assist
ant; }. NJ. Lawlor p L. Weaver, Mrs.
Weaver, DR.. X. L. Bunker and Ii. C. Cos
tello, respectively Superintendent, matron,
physician and clerk of the AImshOuse
There are six Health Inspectors, four
Market, two Plumbing and two Dtnter-
ment inspectors. AT least half of these
officials will be changed, the removals being
accomplished gradually.
ut must be remembered" said DR.. Seely
f. Long, -" that we are Republican board
succeeding ono of the same political COM
plexion. That being the case, there will he
no necessity for general change in the
boards officers or employees. At the same
time believe in rotation in officers within
certain limits and each member will doubt
less name several appointments"

This malignant plant is known in most

know that they must not go near what
is called the '.three-leavcd3vy." There
is, however. three-leaved sumach re-
scmbling the dangerous trifoil described
which is not harmful and it may be de-
termincd from the fact that it bears red
berries which at their first appearance
are crimson but deepen down to garnet

10 DC added that the poison ivy, SO
called, and the poison sumach, though
much unlike in appearance, have blue

small slender clusters from the axis of
the leaves. They grow from one end of
the country 10 the other and infect the
skins of probably five hundred thousand
