MILK CAUSING ILLNESS
BOARD OF HEALTH SENDS INSPEC-
TORS OUT FOR SAMPLES.
One Prominent North Meridian-Street
Family and others sufTer-symp-
toms of PtOmaine Poisoning.

Saturday afternoon President Morrison, of
the Board of Health, and City Santarian
Clark sent inspectors out in various parts
of the city to collect samples of milk for
analysis, several cases of poisoning from
the use of milk having come to the attention
of DR.. Morrison in his private practice. One
prominent family on North Meridian street
had partaken of a custard at supper and
that night three members of the family be-
sides the servants were taken violently i'll.
DR.. Morrison traced the trouble to the milk
used in making the custard. The family
had some of the milk left and a sample
was taken to the Board of Health office for
analysis.
Milk Inspector Arnold was sent to a num-
Der of residences in the neighborhood. and
he ascertained that several families had
suffered from the use of milk. The product
of several diaries was involved and ia each
case samples were taken for analysis. The
first sample taken has been tested for sew
eral substances suspected of causing ill
ness, but has failed to show these. The
analysis will be completed to-day.
DR.. Morrison found in the cases that came
under his notice all the symptoms of
ptomaine poisoning, although it is possible
the illness was brought about by the
chemicals used by dalrymen to preserve
milk. This use of preserVatives is general
among the purveyors of milk, and Tor the
most part they are harmless in ordinary
quantities. Boracic acid tormaiine and sail
cylic acid are used. besides several patent
preparations, whose ingredients are I'M
known to physicians. The secondary fever,
one of the marked symptoms OF ptomalne
poisoning, was feature IN the cases treated
by DR.. Morrison. Ptomaines develop from
decomposition, and are sometimes estab-
lished in the milk by conditions that exist
in the refrigerator.
The purveyor who sold the milk to the
Meridian-street family that taken SO
violently i'll called at the Board of Health
Office late Saturday evening in response to a
notice sent him by the board. He is new
conner in the city. He showed the board
that he was only retailer of the milk, hav-
ing purchased it from dairyman. DR..
Morrison was of the opinion that the man
is careful in his business. The conditions
surrounding the dairy where the milk was
purchased are reported to be good. The
milk business has become so extensive In
this city that a great many middlemen are
engaged in the trade

ADAMS, Mass, Sept. 25-At o'clock
thls afternoon President Mckinley took
part in the exercises at the laying of the
cornerstone of the Memorial Library build
ing. A delegation of Grand Army veterans
and militia escorted the President to the

upon a raised platform. The ercises of
laying the cornerstone were very simple.
Prayer was offered, followed by remarks
by representatives of the library trustees
and the G.. A. r.
President Mckinley was then introduced.
He was enthusiastically received, and as he
placed the mortar upon the stone with a
silver trowel there was a general hush. AS
the President returned to his seat three

edged by removing his hat and bowling.
form and said:
Mr.. Commander, Comrades and Fellow
clIlzens-It mas given me very great pleas
ure to participate with the citizens of
Adams in this memorial service, a service
which will ever be remembered by the
people of this town, because it is intenG@i
to perpetuate patriotism, and is their testi-
mony TO patriotic devotion. You have au-
thorzed the erection of this structure that
you may commemorate the services and
sacrifices of the brave men who went out
from this community more than thirty
years ago, willing to give all they had and
the best they had that the Union might
be preserved and the flag continue to float
in honor.
Every memorial building like this. every
statue erected to the soldiers of the war, is
q monument to duty well done and is a les
son In patriotism to the generations that
are to follow. ! rejoice with you to-day that
the men for whom this monument is to be
buided did not die in vain; that the Union
for which they fought and for which they
fell is stronger, grander and more enduring
than ever in the past, and it is with you
with the living and those who are to come
after-it is with them to carry forward this
great government and lift it to still greater
achievements and glory. l thank you and
bid you good afternoon"
The President and party spent the early
part of the day driving about the Berkshire
hills. They visited the summer residences

taken, and several times it had occurred to
him that it would be funny to have the
picture made with pipe in his mouth In
order that he might tease his sister and
some young lady friends, but he said moth
ing to any one of this thought. Last sun
day morning when seated to have the pic
ture made the thought again came to him,
and the outline of person with pipe sug-
gested itself in something which he noticed
about the camera. This caused him to smile
nothing to the photographers of the fancy
which had come to him. During the week
Mr.. Pierce developed the negative, and

Farlow appears as complete picture of
pipe as one ever saw. Mr.. Pierce says that
he thoroughly cleaned the plate before using
it, and he can in no way account for the
presence of the pipe in the picture unless

Amendment Asked.

The commercial travellers of New York
State are not pleased with the present
mileage book law and win attempt to
bring about it's amendment. AS it stands,
every railroad in the State operating one
hundred miles or more of road is compelled
to issue a thousand-mile ticket book for
$50, which shall be good for first-class pas
sage over the road. The book however, is
not good on trains, and must be presented
to the ticket office at a station for the re-
moval of coupons and receipt of a ticket,
good only for the purchaser of the book or
Of member of his firm or family. The
amendments desired by the commercial
men would compel the One-thousand- mile
books by roads operating over one hundred
miles of road TO be good on trains for re-
moval of coupons by conductors, and TO be
good in the hands of bearer. In return, ii
would be provided that roads charging but
cents a mile. like the New York Cen
trail, would not have TO issue book. The
very provisions OF the desired amendments
are now lived up to by the Delaware q
Hudson, while the Central is. of course,
free by its 2-cents-a-mile charge. If en-
acted. therefore, the law would apply only
to the other roads in New York State.
