DIPHTHERIA,
Were Many Cases Last Month, but
Only One Death.

The report of City Physician Nichols
for the month of November shows there
were twenty-five cases of diphtheria re-
ported. There was, however, but one
death from that disease during the
month, which shows that the epidemic
was of a very mild type.
In conversation with a Record Un-
ion" reporter a prominent physician
stated that probably many of the
cases reported as diphtheria were really
tonsilitis or other forms of throat dis
ease less dangerous than diphtheria.
1t is a well-known fact, however,
that it is often difficult to distinguish
between true and false diphtheria in
their first stages. Hence the safer
plan is to assume that the disease is of
the worse type and treat the patient ac-
cordingly.
1t is really too bad that the lives or
health of children should be endan-
gered regularly every fall by an epi-
demic of diphtheria that might be
avoided if the city authorities would
do their simple duty by thoroughly
flushing the sewers. The spring rains
cease in May, and for the succeeding
six months the savers are left to re-
! tam dll lIC dSpOSltS VI tIlStt
period, which broil and tester under
the heat of summer. bringing into life
every disease germ that finds it's birth
in filth.
1t is true that once in a While a few
fire. plugs are blown OUT for perhaps
two or three minutes at time, put
ting a few hundred gallons of water in
to the sewers, but that amounts to
nothing The sewers should be thor
oughly flushed every week from May
until the winter rains fall and there is
no duty devolving on any city official
that should be so rigidly attended to
as this.
The frequent flushing of the sewers
would not only confine diphtheria to the
few cases that result from household
neglect and uncleanliness, but would
also serve to ward off various forms of
fever, especially scarlet fever. 1t is
something that has been shamefully
| neglected in the past.

ce.Ved Il statement from the New YORK
city postoffice showing the am cunt OF
morley order business at that office for
tn. first two weeks OF the mouth OF
August. Tie department. is pleased with
the showing and takes it as an indica-
ton OF business revival
Tic records for the New York offJoa
show that nearly 10000 more domestic
money orders We're paid during the first
hal. of August, 1 s97, than during a
corresponding period last year. The
toth number Of orders paid during the
tine Indicated was 69,165 orders, and the
amount Of money involved was S339.O5e.
This sum is S13,343 in excess OF The sun,
pail out during the same period in Se6.
The officials maintain that the signifl-
cancc OF this increase in money order
business at New York is that persons
throus hoat the United States are buyine
good, Cf New York merchants in ouanti-
ties seldom called for at this season OF
the year.
The POstoffice Department looks upon
the money order business as a barometer
of commercial activity. They claim that
this has held good as to previous years.
AM that general revival in business
has always been preceded by increased
M hey order receipts
The foreign money order branch OF the
New York office also shows an increase.

CARE OF DISTRICT CONVICTS
Attorney Generals Estimate of the
Cost of Supporting Them.
Amount Needed VIII Equal Previous
Appropriations Expenses at
Albany and New Jersey.

An estimate for the expenses of maintain
ing District prisoners confined in instftu-
tions in other Jurisdictions was submitted
TO the Commissioners today by the Depart
Inent of Justice.
The aInountfor support, maintenance and
transportation of convicts transferred from
the District OF Columbia, to be expended
under the direction of the Attorney General,
is placed at $4,000. In explanation Of
how this estimate is reached, the Attorney
General gives the accounts OF the Albany
county penitentiary and the New Jersey
State prison for support of District pris-
oners during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1897:

Columbia. 81 ,s92. .26; total, $47,995. so.
The appropriation for support of con-
victs," the letter goes Oh To say, was
$4,000, leaving deficiency OF So, 1886 SO.
Ii is seen that the cost OF keeping the
conyicts sent from the District of Co
lurbia 10 the Albany county penitentiary
and The New Jersey State prison, and the
expense oftransportationin OF 1897 amounted
to nearly S4s,G0o.
Its believed Tn at the expenses underthis
appropriation bill viii be fully as much In
1899, and that $4,000 is the least sum
that should be appropriated 1t has beer
impracticable for tie department to make
an estimate under this head based On
the amounts paid during the present fiscal
year, as the accounts of the institu.
uons named, for the first quarter, are not
Of course, yet rendered.
For your information, although not spe-
officially requested, submit the following
estimate Of expenses for the maintenance
Of the jail, District of Columbia
Support OF prisoners, District of Co
lumbia; for expenses for maintenance of
the Jal, District of Columbia, and for
support of prisoners therein to be ex-
pended under the direction of tile Attor-
ney General, $4,000. During the fiscal
year 1897 the expenses were: Quarter
ending September 80, 1896, S9,36e. 40;
quarter ending December 81, 1896,
Sll,o33 81; quarter ending March 81,
1897, S9,612 OF; quarter ending June 80,

appropriation for 1897 was S45, 900, leav-
ing an apparent balance of S4,73s. .o4.
The average number of prisoners con-
fined in the jail at the present time Is
practically the Same as one year ago and
IL is believed that the appropriation for
1899 should be at least S42,0O

MARRIAGE NOT A FAILURE

couples married by Rev. w. l.. Messe,

pose OF the organization, as he himself
says, is 20 promote marriage. Many OF
those W hom lie has married in a pas
torate OF fifty years y, present at the
meeting and aided In rNrfecting the plans
The constitution ana bylaws, as pre-
pared by Rev. Messe, were read aud
adopted unanimously. One Of the para
graphs reads: 1T shall not be law
ful for members OF this association TO in
any way discourage or prohibits the mar
riage of worldly persons Should a mem
ber OF this association be found guilty OF
sucn action through pure spite er personal
feeling, such member VIII be promptly
expelled. The so ciety holds that the
condition OF true happiness is to be found
in che welded state, and declares this
TO be its one sold object OF organization -
1t IS proposed to continue the organiZa-
ton from generation TO generation. and
all persons are eligible whose marriage
has been in any way influenced by the
organization and who will abide by its
dictates.
Ill treatment of husband or Wife is
sufficient reason for expulsion, and all
must advance the interests OF matrimony.
An amusing storyis told of Rev. Meese
in connection with the reunion. He asked
all of those who had never spoken a
harsh Word to their wives to hold up
a hand. Only one hand went up, and
investigation proved that the man who
thus declared himself was married by
the preacher on the day previous.
