Spreading Contagion.

Diphtheria and scarlet fever have
ragged with especial violence in many
localities the past summer and the pres.
emit winter. One peculiar fact is tina;
they have been more prevalent and
deadly IN several country districts than
IN, the cities. The contagion from them
has spread more widely, the nortalit,
has been greater. The same is true ..
typhoid fever, which. although not con
tagious in one sense. is certainly apt to
spread through family or neighbor
hood when once it gets foothold.
Physicians attribute much Of the ia.
fality and wide spread Of the diseases
named to the rural method Of conduct
ing funerals. Certainly. in case of
death from scarlet fever and diphtheria.
the body should be buried at once. with
in few hours. all the bedding and
clothing used by the deceased burned.

and see the sick child. Instead Of this.
all access to the room should be forbid

After death from one Of the ailments

THE Press has the best possible organization
to secure news from the most important sour
ces, and with nearly 400eorrespondents in Penn
sylvania, New Jersey. and Delaware, the State
and near-at home news Is covered with a rou-
tine carefulness and attention detail not even
attempted by any other paper
THE Press has also the best of correspondents
In all the great cities of the United States. al
well as financial and railroad experts In Chicago
and the West, who keep the paper more than
abreast with events
The columns Of the SUNDAY Press are enrich
ed by contributions from those whose names are
written high In our lists of great authors novel
lists, essayists as well as from men Of high rank
m public life. The best authors know that
their best audiences are the readers Of the
DAILY, SUNDAY and WEEKLY PRESS
In politics The PRESS knows no other master
than the people and the past year has seen, as
has been seen before, the marked fact that 1t is
snbservient to no political boss. It has no poll
teal ambition to foster, but looks after the in
terests OF its readers, and deliveries itself upon
the issues Of the day in manner both frank and
fearless, letting the facts speak for themselves
and evading no issues but meeting them ali on
the basis Of fair play to all men at all times Its
pages Know no distinctions and the rights Of one
class over another are neither recognized nor
supported. -

Qualified Affection.

Genuine sorrow is sometimes expressed
20 strangely that the listener finds it hard
not TO smile. A case in point is mentioned
BY clergyman.
While passing summer vacation in a
thinly settled portion Of Maine, he was
called upon to officiate at the funeral Of q
farmer. who had died leaving a widow
with whom he had lived in wedlock for
nearly half century.
After the service the widow came to the
side Of the coffin for q last look at the face
Of the departed. and as she stood there she
heaved a deep sigh, and turned to the
clergyman to say, with perfect simplicity;
wal. ruther liked him. youths
