WAS IT THE MILK
Members of an East Bluehill Family
Fatally Afflicted.


The family OF Luther Bridges, OF East
Bluehill, is direfully afflicted. Two died
last week. and three Others are critically
ill. DIR. W. T.. Emery, OF Surry, the at
tending physician, believes the illness Is
tubercular pneumonia, and attributes 1t
to milk from a tuberculous COW. Mi.
Bridges family al home consists OF him
self, wife and seven children, whose ages
range from one year to seventeen years.
Two other children are married, and live
away from home.
Some time ago the family was taken
wit h the measles. All the children were
ill. Following the measles symptoms OF
pneumonia developed. DIR. O. A. Little
field, OF Bluehill, treated the children for
pneumonia, but unusual symptoms APP
peared Instead Of the disease reaching a
crisis in from seven to nine days, as In
pneumonia, the children grew steadily
worse. On Tuesday OF last week the oldest
boy, aged about seventeen years, died :,
and on W ednesdsy girl, aged about
eleven years, died.
Dr. Emery was called on Friday. He
suspected the disease to be tubercular
pneumonia, and attributed 1t to milk
from the family COW, which had formed a
large part OF the children's diet during
their illness. He sent for DR.. w. l.. West,
OF Ellsworth, to examine the COW. DR..
West went to East Bluehill Saturday.
The test showed pronounced sympt oms
OF tuberculosis. The seat OF the disease
seemed to be in he udder, and it was so
far advanced that DR.. West says a physi-
cal examination without the tuberculin
test would have disclosed it. The COW
WIS al once condemned and killed. Sew
eral other cows in the neigh borhood were
examined, but no other diseased ones
were found.
Three children are now critically i'll.
To an AMERICAN reporter on Monday DR..
Emery said there Nus no doubt in his
mind that the disease j. tubercular pneu-
monia, and was due to the milk from the
diseased CON. He thought the measles
had left the system IN u condition most
susceptible to the disease. from which
they might have otherwise escaped. He
expressed little hope for the recovery Of
the three children nov Ill.
1t may be simply coincidence, but
D. Emery points out a. evidence that
his diagnosis Of the disease is correct the
fact that the girl who recovered from
TIE pneumonia dld not drink milk at all,
aud the OF her Child no Is but slightly III
drank tut iltUe mliN.

BURGLARIES AT WEST SULLIVAN.
Evidently the Work of Novices at the
Gentlemanly Profession

Last Wednesday night burglars oper-
ated on wholesale plan in West Sull-
van. Two stores and a blacksmith shop
were entered, and attempts were made to
enter another store and private house
The burglars secured in cash about $40
All clues seem to indicate that the bur
glaries were the work of noyices, prob
ably trsmps.
The burglars first visited the black
smith shop OF Charles Chaplain, where
they secured brace and bit, aud but
teris. From the blacksmith shop the
thieves went to the store OF the Sullivan
granite company. The tools stolen at
the blacksmt h shop helped them to effect
an entrance by front window.
The safe in the store WAS not locked,
and so It was not necessary to blow it
open, as some papers have enormously re-
ported. The drawers were pred open,
papers and books were scattered about
the floor OF the office. The cash drawers
also were pried open. The burglars haul
at this store consisted OF about $50 in
cash, two pair of shoes, a meerschaum
pipe and some fruit.
The burglars then went to the store OF
c. II. Abbott, mile above, and entered
by breaking the lock of the front door
Here an Intellectual attempt WAS made to
blow open the safe with black powder,
but the hole WAS drilled too far from the
lock. The burglars secured about SIS
from the cash drawer. An artistic rresco
OF tobacco juice about the front door
showed that one OF the visitors had re-
manned on watch while his pal or pals
worked on the safe.
The burglars were well supplied with
powder, and evidently their package OF it
sprang aleak at Abbott's store, for they
left trail OF 1t from this store to Crab
tree X Haveys, the next place visited
Apparently no attempt had been made to
enter this store, but Ahner Crosby, who
lives near by, says his house was entered
during the night, and the door which he
had locked upon retiring was left wide
open. Nothing was stolen, however.
\ reward has been offered for the
capture OF the burglars.
1t is believed by many that the burg
iarles IN West sullivan are connected
with the stealing Of hand-car betwee
Ellsworth Falls and Boggy Brook station
Thursday night. The small building III
which the car was stored was broken
open and the car taken. Friday morning
it VAS found ditched near Brewer.

The Tarill Sill in the senate.

The tariff bin has finally reached the
Senate, having been formally pre-
sente,. :. .5,..,.,or Aldrich on Tuesday,
who announced that while the bill in
very many cases modified the rates
called for ~ the House bill, il was es-
sentially a protective bill. and the
majority of the committee reaflirmed
and emphasized their position as
friends OF the protective policy.
Senator Aldrich also announced that
republican senators would waste no
time in the academic discussion of the
principles of protection. Inasmuch
as the business OF the entire country
is in a state of suspense awaiting the
action of Congress on the tariff bill
the responsibility of delay by indulg-
ing in long theoretical discussions lies
wholly with the democrats.
Nothing Will so stimulate business
as prompt settlement Of this matter,
and it would seem as though il was of
less consequence what kind Of a bill
is passed rs that some kind Of bill is
passed.

The Senate and Cuba.

The action of the Senate on the
Cuban resolution well illustrates how
presumably intelligent bodies OF men
will periodically go daft 1t was not
long ago that the House gave the
country a similar exhibition of hys-
terics, which was promptly and prop
erly counteracted by the Senate; now
the thing is reversed; the Senate in
dulges in jingoism, and the House
counteracts its effect.
Ex- Senator Edmunds, of Vermont,
a competent authority on inter
national law has this to say regarding
the recent action of the Senate: i
am free to say that do not think the
Senate was justified in taking action
at this lime When there was war
between the North and the South in
this country the Washington govern
ment protested strongly against the
recognition OF the confederacy by for
eign powers. England and France
needed the protest for some time. but
eventually belligerency was acknowl-
edged
CAS- far as my information goes
Cuba has not Yet reached such stage
as was reached By the southern states.
The idea is neid by some that after the
recognition OF belligerency Cuba
could not III out vessels of war in ports
of the United States that might prey
upon Spanish merchantmen and fight
Spanish cruisers. The moment the
United states granted recognition of
belligerency She would also assume
neutrality.
