Ohio Health Officers want to
Check OscuIatIor..

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Feb. CDR. c. o.
I'robst, secretary of the State board of
health. today appeared before the Pas
tors union of this city to urge their CO.
operation in two sanitary reforms. One
is to stop the custom of indiscriminate
kissing and the other to abolish the use
of the same cup in the administration of
the sacrament by several hundred per-
sons. DR.. Probst explained that the
most certain and most dangerous trans
mission of the germs of disease is by this
mouth-to-mouth method. He cited the
almost universal habit among ladies of
kissing friends on greeting them or bid
ding them goodbye, of kissing babies
and children, and urging babies and
children to kiss each other.
Pastors, too, usually consider it part
of their duty to kiss the babies of their
parishioners. All this was well meant,
but it was as dangerous as it was per.
functory in many cases. The c1ergymen
asked for some practical suggestions as
to how to obviate the danger pointed
out in the Communion service. Several
were given. but the one considered prac-
tical was that each COMMUNICATE have
his own cup. A resolution to do all pos
sible to bring about these reforms was
adopted charleston News and Courier

AN INSANE ASYLUM FIRE
-FOUR OF TE4E: IN-
MATES RURNED.

The Fire was Discovered Early.
Hut quickly Obtained Too Much
Headway to be Ssalbdue0 One
ofthe OLD Kind Of Fire Traps
DOVER, N. H., Feb. 1O.-Last night the
insane asylum of the Strafford county
workhouse, about four miles out of this
city, was entirely destroyed by fire and
~ of the inmates were burned to death.
The building was a wooden affair. 13O
by 800 feet in dimensions, and burned
like tinder. Only four of the inmates,
Rose Sandorn, James Daley. Frank
Dauchamre and VIM. Lom Twombly sur
vive.
In making his rounds shortly after 10
O'Clock. Watchman Shestry discovered
fire. He at once gave an alarm. and
VIM. P. Dricoll, keeper, and an attend
ant, rushed though the inmates quar-
tiers, which were mainly On the second
floor, and. bursting the locks to the cells.
tried to appraise them of their dam
ger.
But the fire had gained rapid headway
and majority of the inmates were so
confused that they were unable to escape,
and the scene was one beyond descrip-
tion and heart rending to witness.
Keeper Driscoll used every possible
effort to liberate the inmates, and re-
n1ained in the building until obliged to
jump from the second story window in
order to save himself.
A messenger was at once dispatched
to this city for assistance, and a portion
of the fire department was sent to the
scene, but before it arrived the building
was reduced to ashes and no ching re-
mained but smouldering ruins. BY the
efforts OF the iremen, the main building
of the institution was saved
Those who arrived on the scene carly
will never forget the horrible scenes wit
messed. The fire brightly illuminated
the country for miles around. and the
unfortunates could be seen as they
writhed and turned about in the burning
furnace.
The fire was first discoved in n cell oc-
cupied by a woman named La Fomlan
and was very small, but Watchman
Chestly states that it spread with Il
rapidity that was astonishing, and be-
fore he had given the alarm to Keeper
Driscoll, it had gained such Roadway
that the only thing left to be done
was to attempt to rescue the inmates.
The fire extended to the main building
of the county farm which was occupied
by over 100 of the county's poor. Super
intendent De Merit at once organized a
brigade of these poor and through their
heroic efforts the fire was subdued.
One of the women inmates of the asy-
lum jumped from the burning building to
the yard below, but was unable to es-
cape, owing to the fence that surrounded
that portion of the building. and she
shared the fate of the others.
How the FIRE caught is n mystery.

Yesterday afternoon the driver of a

down the street, their speed increasing
until they were going in a lively trot.
They were on the street car track, which

COTTON REPORT.
not Calculated to send The Price

DOVvh Ahys
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Thc February
returns of the Department of Agriculture
which relate to cotton give county esti-
mates of the crop as compared with that
OF last year, proportion that has left the
plantations. the average date of the
close of picking, insect losses, etc. A con-
solidation of the returns of comparative
crops makes the following State percen-
tage: Virginia, 55 per cent; North Caro-
lima, 73; South Carolina, rs; Georgia,
"a; Florida, 60; Alabama, 65; Missis-
sippi, 60; Louisiana, 55; Texas, Sd;
Arkansas, So, Tennessee, Ga; general
average, 69H. No allowance is made
for underestimate of crop or eoveresti-
mate of distribution. The proportion
of the crop received at ports, in stocks
OF interior towns, in the hands of mer-
chants, unreported and enroute from
plantations is thus stated. as reported
by county correspondents: Virginia,
sc; North Carolina, IS; South Carolina, 3,
81; Georgia, 80; Florida. 80; Alabama i,
80; Mississippi, SS: Louisiana. SO; Texas.
81; Arkansas, 81; Tennessee; Sc; general
average S7.9. Quality fairly good as a
rule, though better on the Atlantic coast
and in Texas than in the interior areas.
In the later picking cotton was much
discolored by the frost. In most of the
States the average yield of lint is reported
at So per cent.
The losses from insect depredations
was relatively small. No losses are re-
ported north of Georgia and the Gulf
states except in Arkansas. The boil
worm did more damage than the cater
pillar. mainly in Mississippi and in states
west of the river. Caterpillars were es-
pecially injurious in Alabama. Relative
ly a large proportion of seed has been
sold to the oil mills on account of the
small size of the crop and the high price
lard. Reported prices vary according to
the accessibility of mills, from Is to 25
cents per bushel. In some sections plan
ters have been induced to sell by liberal
payment in fertilizers.

NO COMBINE
Prices Rot TO he E.ut Up I'm The
Market House Now.

rumor has gained currency to the
effect that there was on foot a movement
in the market house to combine and ad-
vance the price of all meats. THE C1TI-
ZEN today asked one of the largest
dealers in the market if there was any
truth in the report. He replied that
there was not. He added: "Even
though the marketmen were dis
posed to take such step. this
would be very inopportune time to do
SO. The firm or firms that would put up
the prices now might make more money
for a little while, but they would be re-
mcmbered by the consumers later on,
and in the long run would lose more
than they can hope to make. No, the
runor has no foundation in fact"
