Last Sunday was something Of red
letter day in the First Presbyterian church
of this city. All the services were attend
ed by unusually large aulieHccs As n
result OF the evangelsiic meetings OF the
past two weeks, 100 persons signed the
card, expressing desire TO be a Christian
and asking an interest in the prayers Of
Gods people. NJ my of these were quite
young, needing TO be instructed in the
way OF salvation, and were not encour-
aged to present themselves TO the Session
tor membership in the church at the pres.
ent time. After careful examination by
the Session, fifty six (thirly- four males
and twenty-five females) were admitted
TO the communion 0f the church and en-
rolled as members OF the same. Twenty.
five OF the number were baptized accord
ing to the Presbyterian mode of baptism
The new members, as their names were
called, came forward and formed a line
around the pulpit, presenting a very in
teres,ing spectacle as they stood before
the large congregation aud received SOL
emn and impressive address from the pas
tor and a welcome from the older mem.
bers Of the church. The communion ser
vice that followed was one that will not
soon he forgotten by many who were
present.

The sanitarium Fund /.

The amount received toward "The
Trenton Sanitarium Beneficial Fund y thus
far is $40 70. This amount cannot be
said to be for the month OF March alone,
as this includes two annual contributions.
Several OF our citizens have promised Ia
contribute monthly toward this cause.
The manager OF the Sauiiarium will con-
tribute personally a certain amount each
time a patient is sent, and a weekly
amount through the year. A large heart.
ed temperance worker, out OF the city,
has sent his check for $40 and agrees TO
contribute 80 cents a week for year.
AS this gentleman has no business or fam
lily connection 10 this city, we certainly
lcok upon this rs most generous gift,
and trust it may be an incentive for those
who have been eye witnesses Of the re-
suits obtained at this Institution, to add
their mite toward this worthy cause.

be self-supportng, industrious citizens /;
true to themselves, their wives, their chi!-
dren, and to the community in which
they live, ia enough TO make all want t.
share in this good work. Men who could

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years WAS
supposed to be incurabe. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,

cal treatment, pronounced it incursbe.

stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

At present there is much unnecessary
alarm over the illness of several Rubber
Mill employees in our city. Very many
absurd stories have been circulated, such
as that there were poisonous chemicals
used by the company in their prepare.
tions; the throwing of arsenic, or some
other fatal poison into the well, by some
evil disposed person, etc. These stories
are absolutely fulsc The water in the
well was impure, a chemical analysis by
expert chemists, settling the question be.
yond doubt, that poisonous germs, which
ultimately resulted in typhoid fever, were
in the water. No person is either
directly or indirectly responsible for the
condition Of the water
Much doubt has existed in the minds OF
many as 10 what the disease was, owing
to the quiekness with which death result
cd after the first symptoms of fever.
Some believed TINT the illness was either
a poison or typhus fever, most malg-
nsnt and contaRiou disease. There wa,
no way to settle this doubt except by
post norton examination,
On Monday morning, William Hunt, d
rubber mill employc, died from the fever.
On Tuesday afternoon, athoroughly com
pctent Examining Board assembled at his
late residence, on Buttonwood street, to
perform an autopsy. II was the writer g
privilege to be there. The iutestines show
ed every indication OF typhoid fever ana
that only. Mr.. Hunt drank large guam.
titles of water from the well in question,
mornings and afternoons especially. AS
a result. his system was so thoroughly
poisoned and so weakened that it was i'm
possible for him to resist the fever. II
has been 80 in all the cases where death
has resulted.
There is no need of alarm. None are
sick except rubber mill employees who
used the well water. The fever is mol
spreading, but is confined exclusively to
such employees.
No families used the we'll water in quos
lion to any great extent Hence none arr
sick.
The writer would urge people to keep
cool, and help the authorities to restore
confidence by refusing to circulate stories
that have no basis in fact Then, too, lei
all who nurse the sick be sure to wash
their hands in water strongly charged
with good disnfcctant after emptying
vessels containing discharges from the
body.
The cause Of the illness is the well.
That is now filed up. No possible dan
ger can come from that source. The
fever is undoubtedly typhoid, which is
absolutely not contagious. The germ
must be swallowed through water or food
to cause the disease.
To any skeptics, either among the uity
or profession, who have doubts in theiI
minds as to the fever, would say, you
can have all doubts positively removed by
calling upon any one Of the physiciant
who performed the autopsy. They vii
give indispntable evidence that the casei
are true typhoid fever. +. NJ. l..
