Ar Exclamation. .

A few days since, we mentioned the
fact that little girl had died in New
Matamoras, Ohio, of diphtheria. In
another issue we stated that there was
no case of diphtheria and said it was
only a wrong diagnosis of the case.
This latter article was written so as
not to prevent people from going to
New Matamoras to trade. We now
learn that the physician who attended
the patient was DR.. John II. Martin,
one OF the brightest young physicians
in that state, and as some of his friends
thought we were rejecting against his
judgment as physician, that we
should, in justice to him, explain the
object of the article, which we do with
pleasure. We had no intention what
ever of rejecting on DIR. Martin and
did not know that he was the attend
ingphysician. All we aimed to do was
to prevent people from getting fright
ened and stop trading in our neighbor-
| ing town. 80
| Later facts develops the case tc
have been genuine diphtheria of the
most malignant kind. There are sew.
eral cases of it in that town and the
schools are still closed and a stric'
quarantine is maintained around the
infected houses. There has been nc
additional deaths yet owing to the
skillful treatment of Dr. Martiu.-

Close of the Evidence in the
Donahue Road Election
Case.
WEAK DEFENSE OF DIRECTORS.
Judge Seawell Has Taken Under Ad.
visement the Relief to Re Given
the Plaintiff.

The suit of Sydney V. Smith to oust the
directors of the San Francisco and North
Pacific Railroad was begun before Judge
Seawell yesterday and the case was SUBJ
mitted late in the afternoon.
The most serious points against the
plaintiff were, after much argument re-
fused admittance and the case went 10 the
Judge with only a weak defense.
Smith was suing to oust P. N. Lilienshal
particularly and to have himself declared
elected to the place. He alleged that when
he came to vote the AZ, 900 shares Of stock
which he thought he owned he was not
allowed to do so and, instead, the stock
was voted by others. In answer it was al
legged that this stock was purchased by
syndicate composed OF Smith, Markham
and Foster, and one of the agreements in
regard 10 it was that it should always be
voted as unit. Therefore when differ
ence of opinion arose among the members
of the syndicate as to how the stock should
be voted Foster and Markham, being in
the majority, voted the stock as they saw
fit and Smith had no say in the matter at
all.
The defense offered the agreement as ev-
idence OF the right of Foster and Markham
10 vote LDG SlOCh dS IuSS saw DGs buI
Charles Page, counsel for Smith, opposed
its admission on the ground that it was
not a proxy and the rights of the defend
ants could only be shown by proxy. The
court ruled in accordance with this view,
and the agreement was kept out of the
case.
The question involving 1000 shares held
by Wagner as proxy for Gundecker was
then taken up, and again a ruling unfav
orable to the defense was entered. The
defense claimed that Gundecker held the
stock as dummy" for an Eastern capi-
tahst and had no right to assign proxy.
In the election these shares were thrown
out altogether upon that ground, but
Judge Seawell, after arguments on behalf
of the plaintiff, ruled that Gundecker was
a trustee and could transfer valid proxy.
This closed the case for the defense.
Page then asked for an order of court
declaring that Lilienthal had not been
elected and putting Smith in his place;
also for an injunction restraining the
other directors from interfering with the
change. This phase of the case was taken
under advisement.
Smith wants an order at once. He is
afraid unless be gets an injunction, which
would settle the matter at once, that the
defendants will take the matter to the Su-
preme Court and keep it there indefinitely.

DIFFUSION OF HAPPINESS.
Professor Edward Alsworth Ross
Speaks at the Academy
of Sciences.
A Firm Stand Taken Against the
Establishment of Class Distinc.
tion in America.

An appreciative audience assembled last
night in the hall of the Academy of
Sciences to hear the sixth lecture of the
popular course now being given under the
auspices of the Stanford University Club.
The lecturer of the evening was Edward
Alsworth Ross, professor of finance and
economics at the university, whose record
in the State University of Indiana has
made him, though as vet CO mparatively
young man, an authority on matters con-
nected with the study of political economy.
Professor Ross took for his subject 1.-The
Social Diffusion of Enjoyment" His view
OF the possibilities of human happiness
was somewhat optimistic, but seemed to
meet the approval of his audience, which
frequently interrupted the gifted speaker
with bursts of long sustained applause.
''As social science Develops" said the
professor, land as men commence to
arrive at something like a solution of the
problems which meet US at every turn the
art of giving and enjoying pleasure be-
comes democratiZed. At the present time
here in America we notice that the poor
mans enjoyments are similar in some de-
gree to those of the millionaire. To be
sure, the poor man cannot live in a brown
stone mansion nor rest his feet on Ak
minister carpets, yet he has his decent
OF other lands does not even dream of.
After al there is not such a very great
difference in this country between the rich
and the poor. A man with only $500
year, Of course, has all he can do to stave
off pain and hunger; while he who has
twice as much can do little more. But be-
tween the pleasures enjoyed by the man
having $1,000 a year and those of the fortu-
nate individual who can count on ten
times that amount yearly, we cannot find
much difference. The fact is. that in this
country, the good things of life seem to be
the heritage of the man of moderate in
come.
"The great social calamity will be the es-
tablishment Of class distinction, if such
system can ever take root in this country.
As long as the poor man can work and OBJ
tain just return for his labor, so long
will the distinction between rich and poor
be miniinized. Poverty will prove to be
only the whip that urges the poor man on
to the achievement of better things. Thus
q common mean of happiness will be
secured to all and one great social problem
solved"

HIRING WEDDING DRESSES.
An Unromantfc Custom Ont of Which,
Tradesman Has Grown Rich
From the New York World

An Unromantic Custom Ont of Which
Tradesman Has Grown Rich.
From the New York World
The bridal costume, which was once pre-
served by a woman all her life and often
handed over to daughter. is now hired for
the occasion. This new custom is most pop-
Ilar among tie poorer classes but it is said
to be growing in favor throughout the COM
munity.
A costumer on East Houston street near
lst avenue, lets out wedding and other Dress
es He has very prosperous business.
The little shop in East Hol ston street has
been in existence for twenty-three years.
but its proprietor has made a speciality Of
past ten years only. Up to that time he
had no call for anything but masquerade
and theatrical costumes. People bought
their own wedding gowns in those days,
and never thought of hiring such gar
ments except for theatricals. Then the tide
OF immigration set in, and the east side
always thickly inhabited, became so dense
ly populated that life there was a struggle
Still the people of the overcrowded district
Continued to marry, and their increasing
poverty created a demand for hired we'd
ding costumes This the Houston street
dealer was quick to discover and to profit
by. Now it is the rule rather than the ex-
ception for tie brides of southeastern New
York to wed in borrowed costumes
flnQlng that wedding dresses could be
rented, women in a better class of society
began to clamor for ball dresses as well,
and the costumer row rents out hundreds
of these every season at from 81 to SS
apiece night These party dresses are
very handsome They are of all cuts and
colors and are fashioned in good style from
plain and brccaded satins. surah silks and
other costly materials. They are also pref
tily trimmed and finished, and many a
maiden has bruised hearts right and left
in the ball rooms of New York in this bor-
rowed finery.
Renting ball dresses has become as lucra-
tive a source of revenue to the costumer
as the hiring out of bridal robes. The lat
ter are mostly of white surah silk, elab-
CrGtely trimmed with lace and orange blos-
SONS. and rent for 50 to IS apiece. Their
material and manufacture cost the cos
tuner from $50 to $40 each and he lets
them to hundreds of brides every year.
They are made by dressmaker who is
kept busy all the year round in a room over
the little shop.
