THE BOARD OF
HEALTH MEETS.
Measles Led the Diseases in Town Last
Month.
DECISION BY THE STATE BOARD.
Local Boards Have Power to Adopt Rules and
Regulations independent Of the Bor-
ough oouncils-Actio on he
Vaccination Cases Delayed.

A regular monthly meeting Of the Board
of Health was held in the Council chamber
last night with Messrs. Holman, Malone
and McHale and Secretary Curtin in atton-
dance. In the absence of President Spald-
ing Mr.. Holman presided at the meetingJ
The secretary reported having received
from the Secretary Of the State Board of
Health a letter in answer to a communica-
ton as to whether local boards can adopt
rules and regulations, independent of Bor-
ough Councils, and pursuant to the Act of
1895. DIR. Lee, the State Secretary, replies
that the local boards can do so.
The epidemic committee reported SO com
municable diseases in tho town since Janu-
airy /, last. They are classified as follows:
Membraneous Group. 3 diphthoretic Group,
2 diphtheria, 6; typhoid fever, 2 scarlet
fever, 8 measles, 90.
The committee on neurology reported 3G
deaths and 6 still births for the same period.
The monthly report of Health Officer
Conry was a lengthy one, but Of a statistical
and routine character.
Mr.. Holman made an interesting report of
his attendance as delegate at the state sani-
tary convention, held at Harrisburg last
Monday and Tuesday.
The board has still failed to take up and
decide the vaccination as raised by the com
mittee on compulsory education of the
School Board. of the 233 children kept out
of school by reason of the enforcement Of
the vaccination laws 81 are children Of
parents who are too poor to pay the physi-
clans fees and the parents Of nearly a hun
dred object to the vaccination Of their child
rem during the winter season, asserting that
too much danger attends the operations in
winter.
The committee on compulsory education.
which is composed Of School Directors
Trezise, Edwards and Williams, as well as
Truant Officer Brown, found a p~uzzling situa-
ton confronting them, namely the law re-
curing children to attend school, and that
prohibiting them from attending without
vaccination. In order to take a step towards
adjusting the matter the committee decided
to first take up the poverty cases, where
parents were too poor. When the vaccination
laws were last enforced the Board Of Health
made arrangements by which children were
treated at the borough's expense, so the
compulsory education committee appeared
before the Board Of Health at a recent
special meeting called for the pur-
pose and stated the facts. At this
meeting President Spalding stated that
he was not disposed to enforce the v%accina-
ton laws while severe winter weather is pre-
valent, but it was the sentiment of the Board
that it would be better to take action in the
matter at a regular meeting. Last night the
subject was revived by the Board, but it was
decided to postpone action on account of
President Spalding's absence and the Board
adjourned to meet at the call of the president.

his parents died. For the next seven
years he worked on a farm, earning money
TO defray his expenses at the Richheld (O.)
academy during the winters. Subse-
quently he taught school, and in March,
1857, entered a law office in Akron. Two
years later he was admitted to the bar.
Ee entered the law Office Of Otis & Coffin
bury, in Cleveland. but abandoned the
practice of law the following autumn on
account of failing health, and moved to
Grand Rapids, Mich, where he engaged
in the lumber business, and where, in
1861, ne was married to Annette II. Henry.
In 1861 Alger enlisted in the Second
Michigan cavalry and was made a captain
Of Company Q. He was wounded in the
battle of Bonneville, Miss. Owing to his
part in this engagement he was promoted
to the rank of major. In 1852 ho became
lieutenant colonel of the Sixth Michigan
cavalry, his regiment being in Clusters
famous brigade. In 1864 his health induced
him to retire from the service, he was bre-
vetted |brigadier and major general "for
gallant and meritorious service" and was
on private service in 1S63-64, receiving
orders personally from President Lincoln.
In 1865 he moved to Detroit, where he
has since been extensively engaged in
lumber and pine land business. He oper-

gan and in the Canadian Georgian bay re-
gion. General Alger was elected governor
Of Michigan in 1884 In 1855 he was one
of the leading candidates for the Republi-
can nomination for president. The acri-
mony which developed between the Alger
workers and those Of Senator sherman,
who was also a candidate, was intense, and
the breach of friendship caused thereby
between the general and senator is be-
lieyed to have only recently been healed.
In an interview at Cleveland last night
General Alger said that he and Senator
Sherman were on good terms.
The Mckinley cabinet is now looked
upon as nearly complete. The last one
named, that Of General Alger for secre-
tary of war, about finishes the list. The
cabinet, it is pretty certain, will be made
up as follows:
Secretary Of state, John sherman of
Ohio; secretary Of the treasury, Lyman
j. Gage Of Illinois; secretary of war, Rus
sell A. Alger Of Michigan; secretary of
the navy, j. d. Long of Massachusetts
secretary of the interior, Joseph McKenna
of California postmaster general, H. G..
Payne of Wisconsin; attorney general,
Nathan Golf Of West Virginia; secretary
Of agriculture, james Wilson of Iowa.

The dyspeptic of every cline and nation owe debt of gratitude to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which rescues them from one of the most obstinate and troublesome complaints against which medical skill is directed. On this con- tinent, in Europe and the tropics, this steriing remedy is pre- eminently and justly popular, not only as a stomachic but also as means of preventing and curing malarial, rheumatic, kidney, bilious and nervous disorders. It inn proves appetite and sleep, hastens convalescence and the acquisition of vigor after exhausting maladies, and counteracts the infirmities of age. A wine glass fnll t.ken before retiring has tenden y to promote tranquil, health yielding sleep, a boon much coveted by nervous inval'ds.
