The attention of physicians prac-
ticing medicine in Berkeley county,
is respectfully called to the follow.
ing synopsis of portion of Sec. 6 /,
Chapter $50, of the Code of w. Va:
at shall be the duty of every
practicing physician in any county
where there is a local Board of
Health to report promptly all or any
disease of contagious, infectious or
epidemic character under treatment
by him, and said local board shall
report the same to the State Board,
etc. In addition to the foregoing,
the principal and teachers of the
public schools should be notified and
the attendance at school by children
from families wherein such cases are
suspected or being under treatment,
be peremptorily interdicted, until the
physician in attendance decides and
gives notice that all danger is past.
Parents should isolate the sick and
prevent the unnecessary informing
ling of neighbors and other members
of the family, and judiciously use
disinfectants and fumigation under
advice of the doctor in charge. By
attention to this important matter,
valuable statistical information will
be furnished to the state, and the
preventive and spread of contagious
diseases when present reduced to a
minimum. S. n. MYERS.

The Shepherdstown Register
seems to be somewhat questioning
as to whether or not the Jefferson
County Court exhibits fayoritism in
placing public printing in LEGAL
papers. There may be fayoritism
about it, but it is most too late to
examine the milestone for it. Look
after your grist and grinding next
time. Take your pick and prepare
the burrs for good work.

manner as neither Pocahontas nor
Brother Boyer could prevent. We

Evidence From the crave

Lambertville, N. j., Nov. 24.-Mrs.
Margaret Devlin, aged 96 years, living
at Yardley, few miles below this
place, died on Saturday at the home
of her brother-in-law. She was buried
Sunday, death being supposed to be due
to old age. Yesterday the coroner
received an anonymous communication
alleging that Mrs. Devlin's death was
not due to natural causes. The body
was disinterred, and an examination
disclosed a wound in the right breast
extending through the lung to the
back. An investigation will be held.

If correct, that Governor Atkin-
son declines to issue requisisions for
runaway evil-doers, because the Au-
ditor has decided that the appropri-
alton for criminal expenses does not
cover expenses in matters Of requi-
sition, then criminals are offered an
opportunity to ply either their Gu
pidity or viciousness freely on West
Virginia soil, and to cross the bor-
ders safely into other states. We
hope it is not correct.

Edison's Great Invention to Be Seen
Here Two Nights.
Notwithstanding that the vitascOpe
has been frequently described in these
columns no one is prepared for the
wonderful revelations that are pre-
scented. The vitascope Ieproduces life
like scenes on the canvass with such
naturalness that the closest scrutiny
is necessary to detect that the figures
are not human beings. Most of the
scenes are amusing, and the famous
kiss scene is so realistic as to COM
pletely vanish the knowledge that the
parties are not in full life before the
eye. The watermelon scene is also
rich, and the juice of the melon as it
trickles from the negroes mouths
shows how infinitely the work is done.
The Yitascope will exhibit at the
opera house Friday and Saturday
nights this week. Prices, 10, 20 and
30 cents. Ladies admitted free on first
night if accompanied by one paid 80
cent ticket.
