EPIDEMIC IS FEARED IN DULUTH.
Polish Children Exposed to Diphtheria
Admitted to Public schools.

Polish Children Exposed to Diphtheria
Admitted to Public schools.
DULUTH, Dec. 2-The parochial school
of the Polish church here was recently
closed by order of Health Commissioner
DR.. w. G. Coffee on account of an cpl
demic of diphtheria in the families of
several of the children who attended.
Immediately there was rush of Polish
children to the public schools. They
were admitted without suspicion, as
they stated that the parochial school
had closed on account of the hard times.
Superintendent Denfeld then learned
the true reason for closing the parochi-
al school, and now there is war against
the health commissioner.
About twenty-five attendants of the
Polish school have been admitted to the
public schools.

Treasury Bills Will in All Probability
Be Issued.
ONLY FOR A SHORT TERN
May Draw Interest and be Receivable
After Maturity as a Means of
Redemption.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The issue of
short term treasury bills is now under
consideration by the ways and means
committee, and it is said will probably
be recommended to congress as means
of bridging over the temporary def
cheney in the treasury in advance of the
collection of new taxes under the tariff
and internal revenue laws.
The subject was talked over by sew
eral of the democratic members of the
committee and Chairman Wilson,
Bourke Cochran, of New York, and Mr..
Breckenridge, of Arkansas, with hers
who were present, concurred the
view that this would be the best means
of meeting the emergency.
The experience of the French and
British governments in issuing treasury
bills was discussed and the fact recalled
that the French government had found
no difficulty in floating 300,OO0,O 900 francs
of such obligations Immediately after
the loanable capital of the country had
been heavily drawn upon by the long
term bonds, issued to pay the war in
demnity to Germany. The subject has
not yet been put in definite form be-
fore the committee, but the impression
prevails that such bills may properly be
issued, redeemable one year at the
pleasure of the government, and bear
ing interest at the rate Of > per cent.
The suggestion was made that they
might be issued without interest, but it
was feared that they would be at dis
count in that case and lose all attrac-
ton to investors. The French law
leaves the rate Of interest to be paid at
the discretion of the secretary Of the
treasury, who fixes it in view of the
money market and government credit,
but the law fixes the terms of the bills
and the maximum limit to be issued.
Some such plan, it is. now declared, is
likely to be adopted by the ways and
means committee. The bills will not
be receivable for government dues under
ordinary conditions, but the secretary
of the treasury may be authorized to so
receive them after maturity as con-
venient method Of redemption. The
British government issues number Of
similar classes of bills, some running
for year or more and others for only
a few months, 10 meet quarterly pay
ments on the debt in anticipation Of
the revenue.
Assistant Secretary Curtis, Of the
treasury department, has given some
investigation TO the matter, but has not
as vet been in direct conference with
the ways and means committee. The
members who talked the matter over
did not anticipate any objection on the
part of the administration or that there
would be great difficulty in carrying
such a measure through congress soon
after it's meeting. TIE bills would
probably be payable in the lawful money
of the United States, as they would run
for only short term.

The PLUSH MILL.
Mr.. Isaac @. Atkinson Issues a Warning
Circular to the Stockholders.

Mr.. Isaac C. Atkinson yesterday sent
the following letter to the stockholders
of the plush mill Mr.. Atkinson states
that he will be prevented by other and
pressing business from being present at
the meeting this afternoon:
PORTLAND. June %, 1898.
Dear Sir:-The time has arrived when you
must act, If you desire to save your investment
in the plush mill. The condition of things at
present is this On sahtu,Lday next at 2so the
will be held, and unless the desired amount is
raised by that time, say the 900, or positive
evidence given that this sum can be raised, no
further action win be asked or taken regarding
the stockholders, but a syndicate will be
formed, and any stakeholder not subscribing on
or beforet Saturday afternoon will lose what
own fault. You have a valuable property In
that mill, and undoubtedly good investment.
and the opportunity to invest third of your
original subscription and get as much for this
third, or as many shares as you originally held,
should be satisfactory. You will have the right
70 name the officers for the new company, ana
the responsibility must rest on you ii you do
not choose wisely. / write disinterestedly in
the matter, but at the same time feel it a duty
TO warn you that no further action, as said be-
as De esssh e se W
sell the property to the highest bidder. There
IS now about 81, 900 subscribed and $4,000
more required. IL IS beheved TINS amount can
easily be raised, $4,000 of the amount through
the creditors, and the balance by further sub
scriptions from old stockholders, and see no
reason, as seonas the mill is freed from debt,
why the manufacture Of plush cannot be sue
cessfully carried on. Every opportunity has
been offered the old stakeholder to come In and
save his stock, Committees were appointed,
meetings have been held, notices and letters
have been sent, and all concerned feel the time
has arrived when further delay Is useless,
Either come to that meeting or subscribe for
your proportion of the stock at 1888 per
share, but if you do neither, please remember
you had ample warning.
Yours, respectfully,
ISAAC c. ATKINSON.

Another Whale Story.

''That was a pretty good story in the
PRESS this morning about the capture of
a whale in a fishing net," said Mr.. Isaac
c. Atkinson of the Atkinson Company
yesterday, as he sat in his Office in his
new Middle street store. ''But 1 can
beat it. was once on the back of a
whale ga feet long, and big in proportion,
and that too while he was in the
water"
WAS he alive?" asked a drummer
who was trying his best to sell MI. At
kinson bill of goods.
mot exactly alive, but it was rather
queer case. 1t was on the deck of my
fathers vessel, then in the Tantramaf
river, and was little startled when
heard him order the boat to be lowered.
asked him what was up, but all he
said was, ''Get in lad, quick" We pulled
off into the stream, and I noticed that
we were closing on big object,
couldn't make out what.
1--WE run up close alongside, and father
sprang out and struck Ratchet into the
white mass below. 1t opened all right,
showing the big fish was sound. Then
father said: Come here, you'll never
have another chance to stand on a whale
in the water again. 1 obeyed orders,
and SO can say that I once stood on big
whale while still afoat.'
''What killed the whale?' asked the
drummer
''They thought he was choked by the
quicksands of the Bay of Fundy," re-
piled Mr.. Atkinson. "They didn't
trouble themselves much about what
killed him, it took all their time to try
out the oil. 1t was a big thing for
them.''
Mr.. Atkinson has stood on 64-foot
dead whale. 1t may be that some of the
sailors who read the PRESS have had
some thrilling adventures with whales
while living.

Ripe California Apricots at sshaw's."
An Ungrateful Drunkard.


Yesterday afternoon man, evidently
member of the crew of a fishing schoon-
er lying at the end of Custom House
wharf, came down to the end of the pier.
He had been up town and was got up in
his best store clothes. Either the agency
or some wicked pocket peddler had be-
guifed him and his walk was very I'M
steady. AS he reached the end of the
wharf he gave lurch and went head
foremost into the cold water of the dock.
A seaman on the deck of the vessel close
at hand seized rope, jumped overheard,
made it fast about the fellow as he rose
to the surface, threw the other end to
the crew and they hoisted the prodigal
aboard. The first thing he attempted.
when brought to, was to clinch his fist
and endeavor to strike his preserver.
Then the crew hustled him into the fore
castle and what further happened is not
known to the writer.
