DlPHTHERIA IN THE CITY.

Dt II I II T-ItIkt IN II1E IIIl.
From all accounts there are great
many cases of diphtheria in the city and
one death has already occurred from that
dreadful disease. The spread of this dis
ease is due mostly to dereliction on the
part Of the physicians of this city in not
reporting such cases as come under their
notice to the board of health and thus
rendering that body powerless to deal
with the disease and prevent an epidemic.
Several children have been taken from
their schools by cautious parents to pre-
vent as far as possible the further spread
OF this u-uch-to-he feared disease and the
use of disinfectants is becoming more
general

"The part of Amanda Beaupre, which

Griffen upon very brief notice. Miss
Mcintyre left the company shortly be-
fore the time for the curtain to be ring

Norfolk OH Monday night. and Tuesday

praised Miss McThtyre's performance
very highly, and stated that she had been
given four curtain calls, hut Mr.. Lack
aye refused to bring her out. Last night
Mr.. Lackaye went, to Miss McIntyre's
dressing room at 1870 and accused her of
writing the notice. Miss Mcintyre de.

would not go on unless Mr.. Lackave

she left the theatre. Miss McIutyre

From Shirt sleeves to Shirt sleeves.

In America 1t is the custom-very nearly
the universal custom-for parents to spend
upon the luxuries and pleasures of the
family life the whole income. The chill.
dren are educated according to this stand
ard of expenditure and are accustomed to
all its privileges. No thought Is taken of
the time when they must set up house
holds for Observation-Disclosures invariably
upon very different scale from the one to
which they have been used. To tho Amer.
ican parent this seems only a natural
downfall. They remark cheerfully that
they themselves began In small way, and
1t will do the young people no harm to 40.
quire similar experience, forgetting that
in most cases their children have been cd.
ucated to much higher standard of ease
than that of their own early life. They do
net consider 1t obligatory to leave anything
to their children ut death. They have
used all they could accumulate during
their own lifetime-let their children do
the same. Tho results uf the system are
crystalliaed in the American saying,
"Thcre are but three generations from
shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves" The man
who acquires wealth apends what be
makes. His children, brought up in lux
ury, struggle unsuccessfully against con.
ditions to which they are unused, and the
grandchildren begin in their shirt sleeves
to toll for the wealth dissipated by the two
preceding generations Elizabeth Bisland

II Attacks . Hunter, and Both Are Shot

It Attacks . Hunter, and Both Are Shot
to Death.
In The Century Is an article by William
Willard Howard on Hunting the Jaguar
In Venezuela" The author says:
There is no recognized way Of hunting
tigers with guns Sometimes the hunters
60 out on horseback, particularly In the
cattle districts of the Orinoco llanos and
the valley of the Amazon, with dogs and
Indian servants to drive up the game. Of
tener the hunter lies in wait for the tiger
to approach a tethered calf.
When several hunters with guns go out
together, there Is serious peril, as an Incl
dent have in mind will show. A Vene-
zuelan man Of affairs whom know well
went to visit a friend on q coffee planta-
ton, and incidentally to try a new rifle.
The host called in two neighbors and ar
ranged hunt. When the hunting party
left In the morning, the hosts two young
sons remained at home with three serv
ants Late In the afternoon when the
party returned neither boys nor servants
were to be seen. AS the hunters roamed
about the plantation looking for the boys
they heard crying in the top of a slender
tree. The boys were in the tree white with
terror.
"What is the matter?' called the father.
"Why are you in the treef"
''The tiger! The tiger!" shricked the
boys. "a big female tiger is at the bot
tom of the tree!'' The tiger had been un-
able to climb so slender a tree.
The father pushed his way quickly
through the bushes to shoot the tiger be-
fore it should escape. His friends followed
slowly. In few moments shot was
heard, and then a wild scream. The
hunters rushed forward. Their friend and
big tiger were rolling on the ground to
gether They fired IL times, as rapidly as
they could work their magazine rifles, and
then tiger and man lay still.
Four bullets had entered the tiger and
eight had pierced the body Of the man.

READY MADE clOAkS.
From tho Ons Pattern Kind to the Pres
snt Assorted Sizes.

From tho Ont' IA'tffn isiNd to tuc Ifeh-
snt Assorted Sizes.
u wns onfg about 20 ycnrs ago when tho
manufacture Of womcD's ready 10 wcnr
cloaks was In Its infancy and tho trade
was just beginning TO be looked upon NJ
staple industry. Tho business at that time
was carried OH In very crude and COM
Daratively Intellectual manner. All gar
ments were cut over ono pattern, tboro bo-
ing then no such thing M different
sizes. The graceful lines which aro TO be
found I'm the creations Of the present timo
wore not known. The slender and tho
stout woman alike were obliged to adopt
tho same size cloak and be satisfied with
the flt or alter It,
The first cloaks made In assorted sizes
were the productions Of firm consisting
Of two enterprising brothers Of tho name
Of Walter Il. and Soth Corwin. Tho sizes
introduced by this firm were distinguished
ny tho names of "large," "medium" and
small and were about what arc known
now as az, 88 and "a measurements. This
departure from the method OF cloak man
ufacturing then In vogue not only created
sensation among nanufncturers, .Dut
aroused condemnation as foolish innova-
tion. They argued that they already had
trouble enough In making the one size
only.
This disposition to throw cold water on
tho new method did not for q single mo-
ment affect tho determination OF the Cor
win brothers. They went right along
manufacturing assorted sizes, and In
very short time it became evident that
they had Enthusiastically won public favor.
The firms business grew rapidly, and
their orders soon became so large that they
far exceeded their output.
The enterprising cloak buyer found 1t
necessary to his interest to call upon the
firm daily and sit In the shipping room,
which was also the showroom, and walt
there for the garments to come down for
shipment They would literally fight for
part Of the days production, each trying
to secure the lions share. Naturally the
Corwin brothers made money rapidly, and
1t was not long before other manufacturers
fell into line and adopted the new method
of assorted sizes.-Dry Goods Economist.

In these days when we hear SO much
about depreciation of values and "a
general going backward of things it is
rather encouraging to run across the
abstract of assessment rolls of our own
county. We find by comparing the
1886 assessment with that of 1897 that
while last year the acreage of taxable
real estate was 1l4,57S, valued at $780,
oSi, this year we have 12S,7G7. valued
at s:'9O,371; there were 2,549 horses in
1896 and 1919 this year; there we're
6,723 cattle last year, and s, ,l2G this year;
and even watches, diamonds and
iewelry" have more than doubled in
the county, there being but 1920 in
them last year and $3.50 this year.
