BOARD AND BACILLUS.

The Health Board Of New York City has
passed an order requiring the registration
and isolation OF patients suffering from
pulmonary tuberculosis, OF phthisis, and
the edict has called forth storm Of pro.
test from the medical profession. 1t is
claimed that the bacillus Of phthisis is
everywhere; that thousands OF people have
IL in their systems without giving any
physical sign of its presence, and that
90 attempt TO isolate all sufferers from
the disease in all of its stages, would
create trouble in half the homes OF the
city. The consensus OF opinion seems to
be that municipal medical wisdom is not
worth much, and that the order cannot,
Mt least viii not, be enforced. Even people
with a hard cold on the chest have some
right to liberty and the pursuit OF such
happiness as the Metropolis affords.

Bellany Storer FOR private secretary?
Good! For if there is one thing that all OF
US ought to do, it is to jolly every possible
private secretary under the new admins
tration. Mr.. Storer is tall handsome good
tin apolitical sensel and very, very wealthy,
having married the daughter of Nicholas
Longworth, who was in old times the
richest man in Cincinnati. The social end
of the private secretary's office would be
held up beautifully under Mr.. Storer,
but would Mr.. Storer himself as Ma jor Nc
kinley is reported TO intend, be real,
great and important private secretary?

The Hon. william Hanna Hahn, a stout
and frisky Ohio politician, is to be marshal
OF the District, it is said. This is entirely
credible. In the first place, Mr.. Hanna
won't need to appoint any District man
marshal OF the District because he doesn't
have to. Mr.. Hahn has been chairman OF
the Ohio State committee, and also MEM
ber of the Republican National Committee,
though the real politicians OF the Plattand
Dudley variety have always given him the
political merry laugh when his actual ca
pacity has been under discussion. How
ever, Mr.. Hahn has always been a hound
ing person, and has gotten along. If he
were appointed marshal reforms would
probably be begun in the maTshals office,
whether they were necessary or not; IN
fact, we might be led to believe that they
were Augcan stables.
