AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.
Five of the Children Of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Walsh, Of Jones Street,
Have Diphtheria.

Diphtheria has smitten five little chill
dren out of seven in the family OF John
Walsh. a miner, whose humble home Is
at 1904 Jones street in the North End.
Walsh works in the West Ridge mine.
The case Is a pitiful one. The Oldest
child, girl II years of age. is afflicted
with the disease and she Is ;he most
seriously Ill. The others ages are ., Z.
4 and 3. There are two ether children
in the family. nursing babe and n boy
years old, who have thus far escaped
the contagion.
DR.. Berlinghoff. of 1903 Capouse avenue.
was called to the Walsh home on Tues
day. He found the place in ~ woeflily
unsanitary condition. The father and
mother each had sore throat and five
of the seven children were i'll with the
disease. The oldest. the 1l-year-old
girl was the only one whose case had
taken nl.ic,'.'nt form.
The parents We're treated with power
full antiseptics and their disease halted
The children were accorded the usual
treatment and it is expected they will
live. excepting, possibly. the eldest. His
case was severe and last night injec-
tons of anti-toxin were resorted to.
1t was impossible to Isolate the cases
as the house is a one-story structure
There are adjoining dwellings, about
thirty feet away on either side. AS
soon as DR.. Berlinghoff was called. he
had lime in large quantities sprinkled
about the place. The house has no sew
er connection. 1t was customary for
the family to throw all refuse. slops and
the like on the ground outside the rear
door, From the constant stencil and
lack of drainage it is believed the
disease was started.
DR.. Berlinghoff's notification reached
the board of health yesterday. Precau-
tions will be taken to prevent a spread
of the contagion, and the house will
be put in sanitary condition. There
are no other diphtheretic cases in that
immediate vicinity.

that we have stolen from the Irish the

the family, the Rev. Thomas Arthur
MacMurrough Murphy. rector of Killer

tises through the press that he has, for
and Gu behalf of himself, his chilases8-

me used, name of Murphy" ard that
instead thereof he revives his ancient
and true name Of O'Morchoe. Long may
he live to rejoice in the recovery of his
lost property Probably when once they

Royal Teeth.

1t is hardly pleasant omen for Eng
land future king, the baby Prince Ed
ward Of York, that the first appointment
officially made to the household of his
royal highness should be a dentist. Yet
such is the case The little fellow is
having a good deal Of trouble with his
teething, and accordingly one of the la
test issues Of The Government Gazette
announces the appointment of clever
young dentist as dental surgeon in
ordinary to his royal highness Prince
Edward of York. In course of time he
will be provided, through tile columns
of the official gazette, with governor,
controller, equerries, lords and gem le-
men in waiting, grooms of the stole, and
chaplains, besides physicians and private
secretaries But hedigniiary whose ap-
pointment viii ioutstrip all others in
priority, If not in Importance and rank,
is that of the young dentist. Teeth are
becoming more and more an important
consideration in the reigning families of
Europe. Thus the royal house of Sweden
keeps dentist busy all the time, owing
to the fact of all their teeth being
bad, while the molars of the reigning
house Of Spain are excruciatingly bad,
Don Carlos in particular having been a
perfect martyrwith his teeth until he
had them replaced by artificial grinders.
In fact, there is not q singleroyal house
in Europe that can boast of good teeth
and for this reason dentists play so oim-
portant role in their existence that it
is difficult to realize that a century ago
even royal teeth were attended to by
BARRIERS. m Chicago Record.
