HAY FEVER PREVAILS.
Increase in Gases this Year, and the
Cause Pollen in the Air.

Pollen in the Air.
A number of residents of Morristown
who are troubled with hay fever have
gone to the mountains and elsewhere to
seek relief. The disease broke out
about week ago and will continue to
annoy its victims until frost The
mountains and trip over fifteen miles
from land on the sea alone give relief,
physicians prescribing such a remedy in
preference to drugs, in severe cases.
Physicians say that there are an I'M
usually large number of cases this year.
They attribute the increase of the all
ment to extraordinary growth in the
vegetable kingdom this year, which, be-
cause of the great amount of rain, has
been almost tropical in rankness. 1t is
generally admitted that the pollen plants
floating in the air are the cause of the
disease.

FOB ORANGE.
Site Procured for Hospital for Conta-
gious and Infectious Diseases.

gious and Infections Diseases.
The Improvement societies of Orange
have at last agreed upon plan for
building a hospital for contagious
diseases; a site has been procured and it
is expected that the greatly needed
building will socn be a reality. How
place the size of Orange has escaped a
serious epidemic seems wonderful when
the large foreign element comprising its
population is considered. The annex for
contagious diseases connected with
Memorial Hospital in this city has been
of inestimable value. The four diseases
most feared and for which the annex is
especially designed are diphtheria, scarlet
fever, measles and small pox. Since its
establishment in the autumn of 1898, 215
cases of either contagious or infectious
disease have been treated with remark
able success. DR.. P. G. Barker, the
president of the Morristown Memorial
Hospital, in recent report said:
"The special and great value of the
annex has been demonstrated during the
past year, not only through the prompt
ness with which cases of contagious
diseases may be removed from boarding
houses and homes where such cases
could not be safely treated, and placing
them where they may, and do, receive
every care that medical skill and deep
devotion on the part of experienced
nurses can contribute to their recovery,
and where they are no longer menace
to the health Of the community, but
lately threatened epidemic of scarlatina
was arrested by the prompt removal of
the first infected children to our wards. y
OF eighty-five patients treated last year
for scarlet fever two only died, and of
those who recovered none of the ward
patients were afterward troubled with
any of the complications which are so
common in cases of this fever. Three
deaths out of a total of twenty-three
cases of diphtheria treated is considered
by medical experts a remarkable show
ing, when low death rate of this
terrible disease is one in four.
A resolution introduced by DIR. Barker
at the meeting of the State Medical
Society recently held at Asbury Park,
providing for the establishment of an
isolated building in every incorporated
town and city in which infectious and
CONTAGIOUS diseases could be treated. was
unanimously adopted. 1t might be added
that all patients are brought to the
annex in an ambulance used for this
purpose alone, and which is thoroughly
disinfected each time it is used. The
committee having charge of this mat
ter in Orange might profitably spend
some time in looking into the methods in
use at the Memorial Hospital. No cases
of infectious or contagious disease are
received at All Souls Hospital

Lost an Arm In Coupling Cars.

While in the act of coupling cars at
Chatham Wednesday, Ezra Ferris
caught an arm between the bumpers and
it was found that amputation would be
necessary. He was taken to Memorial
Hospital, Orange, where the injured
member was amputated below the fore
arm. Mr.. Ferris is the present post
master at Chatham and is well known
throughout the county by reason of
having been in the mail service on the
D., L. & W. Railroad for many years.
There are many friends who sympathize
with Mr.. Ferris in his misfortune

ITALIANS IN BATTLE.

General Engagement in FlagIer Street
Until Police Arrived.
There was an exciting time in Flagler
street Sunday afternoon when number
of Italians, under the effects of fight
producing beverage, reproduced on a
small scale the battle before Santiago.
The sons of sunny Italy were not content,
however, with the modern implements
of warfare, although these were in evil
dence. Knives, stones and clubs seemed
to be the favorite weapons, and all were
dexterously handled. So interesting in
fact did things become, that Police
Headquarters was hastily notified. Chief
of Police Holloway and Officer Morrison
arrested three men, who were arraigned
before Justice Cliff. The offenders gave
the names of Rocco Carusio, Alex. Catul-
10 and Nicolo Deminzio. They were
fined. The combatants who fred the
pistols made their escape in the crowd.

WHAT "EXpANSIoN" MEANS.
Significance of the Washington
Fever for Distant Islands

New YORK world.
In considering the new policy OF
territorial expansion" which looks to the
annexation of one group of islands 5000
miles distant from Washington and another
group 10000 miles distant, it is well to re-
fleet on what it signifies. ---.....
1. 1t means a large standing army
certainly not less than 200, 900 men. The
support of this force, a considerable part of
1t at far-remote stations, would make a ine
addition to the cost of our LOCO, 900 pension
ers! A large standing army is a standing
menace to liberty.
2. 1t means an enormously increased navy
not merely enlarged, as it should be, to
meet our present needs, but a navy rivaling
that of England.
3. 1t means expensive Notifications of the
chief harbors of these islands, when our
own seaboard is most inadequately guarded
against the attack of any first class naval
power.
And all these things mean taxes-taxes-
more taxes!
a. 1t means the introduction into our re-
publican system of the despotic principle.
Military government, or an oligarchy as in
Hawaii, is a form of despotic rule. Is it
well to familiarize our people with this?
Do we want to set up Satrapies for the sons
of somebodies? Would it be wise or safe
thus to reinforce our already powerful
plutocracy with a shoulder-strap oligarchy?
5. 1t means more rotten boroughs to
supply senators and presidential electors for
the party in power whenever the exigencies
of home politics shall require them.
6. 1t means the absolute abandonment of
the Sonroe doctrine. We can no longer
warn European powers out of this hemi-
sphere if we invade the South Pacific and
Oceanica for conquest. 1t is not Asia but
Europe in Asia that we shall have to deal
with in this rivalry in land-grabbing.
7. 1t means a qualification of the basic
principles of this republic-the right of every
people to freedom and independence, gov
eminent with the consent Of the governed.
And all for what? Coallng stations? We
have them already, or can secure then in
any just settlement of the war. Trade?
The consumption of one OF our smaller
states exceeds that of all these islands com
bined. Outposts for defense? Rather out
posts to defend!
Have we not troubles enough OF our own?
Do we need to go abroad for problems? Is
our magnificent continent so cramped that
we need to annex leper colonies and Malay
aggregations at the end of the world?

SPRAY OF THE WAR WAVE,

OBrien Moore, one of the noted Washing
ton correspondents, has been commissioned
lieutenant colonel Of a West Virginia regi-
ment.
Inc martial hosts of the spirit land are
with us. An Italian newspaper saws that
George Washington is preparing TO assume
command of all the armies in the field
against Spain"
The Baltimore American suggests the
necessity for more discretion in the selection
OF articles intended for the soldiers and
sailors in and around Cuba. The suggestion
Is intended for Baltimoreans who have for
warded to the front an assortment of ear
mutfs and tracts against the use of tobacco
in war time.
Among other supplies to be furnished to
the troops in Cuba will be %. 900 cylindrical
mosquito head nets, contracted for at 35
cents each. They are made with a wire
frame, supporting mosquito netting, which
Is weighted with shot to keep it close to
the shoulders and prevent mosquitoes or
flies from getting in.
Mark Twain found some words for the
whole United States to repeat when he
wrote: Il should like to do homage to our
soldiers and sailors of today who are en-
listed for another most righteous war, and
utter the hope that they may make short and
decisive work Of it and leave Cuba free and
fed when they start for home"

exclaimed the other, that's the day after we

Washington is entitled to credit for one
genuine patriot. When examined for a
place in the ranks, he was equal to all but
one of the physical requirements, and that
was three pounds short on weight. Going
into an adjoining room he drank about a
gallon OF Potomac water, was reweighed, &C
cepted and sworn in. A patriot who will
take such a risk deserves a commission.
A son of Adjutant General Corbin ex-
pected TO break into a berth in the army
through his fathers influence, but the gem
eral declined TO give the required aid. The
young man went to the front as a newspaper
correspondent, and the first news the gem
eral had from him was a Geographic mes
sage from Tampa requesting him to read a
certain letter in a newspaper. The adjutant
general sent out for the paper, and. with
emotions to which he has not yet given ex-
preston, read a well written and vigorously
expressed description of the mistakes in con-
nection with the departure of the Shafter
expedition. The young critic didn't spare
anybody, but pointed out wherein the busl-
ness OF the War department might be much
better managed. II is a question in army
circles whether the young man hasn't seen

FoLLIEs OF TIE WISE MAN.
Chicago Record,

a man Is n fool in his youth, my son,
And none is wise till his course be run;
For a woman's eyes or the CLEAN of gold
VIII dazzle his wits till he's old-so old!
And the tiirt of n skirt or the thrill of a
song
Will soften his heart for long-so long!
And "A woman's signs or a woman's tears

A man is a fool at worst-and best
And his life is n grim and n guilty Jest,
With a grsh of JOY or a gasp of pain,
And the round of his labor, and over again;
But his toll grows less and his griefs de-
part
When he feels the throb of a comrade

And his life Is a beautiful vision while
He lives in the light of a loved ones smile.
A man Is a fool, for his pride and greed
VIII take him beyond the farthest need,
And the bauble of wealth or the bubble

VIII he seek to his grief or lasting shame;
But a woman's love is of all the earth
Mans rightful gift and of greatest worth,
And who studies the world in his dear
