DIPH7HBRIL PREVALENT
t39 Cases Reported to the
Health Inspector So Far
This Month.

Health Inspector Benjamin sent to the
Beard of Health at its meeting yesterday
afternoon, report Of the contagious dis
eases found during the month of Novem-
Der, It was as folIows:-Scar1et fever, Is;
typhoid, 8: Group. 7; measles, %; diph-
iberia, 1S9; a ostal of III cases.
The increase startled the members of
the Board. The diphitheria cases particu-
larly are increasing
In October there were sixty cases of
dphtheria reported to the Health Inspec-
lor. He instructed the City Physicians to
do everything possible to check the spread
OF the DIS ease, but so far their efforts
have been of no avail There IS. it is ad-
mftted, an epidemic of the disease 1t
IS not conlned to any particular part of
the city, but appears to be distributed all
over
Inspector Benjamin says there is no
immediate cause fer alarm as he thinks
that cold snap Will do mere toward
stamping out the disease than anything
In all parts of the city yellow
signs bearing the word .sDiphdheria', are
conspicuous. On houses where these
tfls disease, and the Inspector warns the
pubic to avoid such houses
1t has been found that many eases re-
ported to be diphtheria by physicians haye
teriologist Gustav Kraus examines each
case. Upon his diagnosis depends
whether the yellow signs Of warning are
put up or not: Mr.. Kraus found in Octo-
Der that about one-half the cases report
ed as diphtheria were really thar disease
Inspector Benjamin believes that the Isa
cases reported SO far this month will be
reduced about orge-half upon examination.
Mr.. kraus has heretofore been paid a Ger
tain fee fer each analysis From Decem-
Der ! he will be paid a salary of $500
year.
During the month Dr. Wolfson attended
"a persons, making As visits; Dr. Everett

That Russia is undergoing o pro-
cess of industrial transformation is
illustrated by evidence to be found at
the national exposition which is being
held at the ancient city of Mini, at
the junction OF those two great water
arteries OF the empire, the Volga and
the Okla. This is historically one OF
the most important trading centers OF
the country. From time immemoriat
the Russians have exchanged ut this
point their native products for those
of the Tartars, the Chinese, the Fer
slams. the Bukharans, the Turks, the
Arabs and the Hindua The regular
fair of Mini is held every year, and
the transactions of which it is the oc-
casion are said to amount to about a
billion roubles in the space OF two
months. It is not surprising. there
fore, that the Gar chose Mini for the
location of the grand exposition. But
there is yet another reason. Mini was
the cradle of Russian independence.
It was there that the first Romanof
was elevated to the seat of power,
Michael, founder OF the imperial dy-
nasty. The ordinary population Of
the city is about $1,000, but during
the time of the annual fair it attainl
to nearly million and quarter. 1

VOYAGE from st. Thomas to this port
in the same year that the Thayer mu-
tiny occurred. J. G. Lewis, the first
mate, and Frank Jakileta, Russian
seaman, had a quarrel which developed
into a fight in, which the sailor had the
better part until the mate promised to
let him alone. As soon as he was re-
leased from the grip of the Russian,
Lewis grabbed Delaying pin and
rushed at the sailor. who made mo-
tiou as IL to draw knife. Bang came
the Delaying pin over Jakileta's head.
Then out came the knife. There was a
swish and a slash, and Lewis, with his
iugular vein severed, fell to the deck,
dead. The struggle was over before
the rest of the men could Interfere.
Jalsileta was disarmed. but, as the YES
sci was short ha nded, he was COM
PEELED to keep at work. Mrs. Wharton,
the wife OF the captain, John Wharton,
of Portland, read the burial service,
and the body of the mate was buried
at sea. On. the arrival of the brig in
port, Jakileta was at once taken before
Commissioner Shields, and, as the

was quickly disposed Of. The prison
