THE town of Bedford, Pa, with popu-
lation OF 2 800 has 200 cases OF genuine small
pox. The rapid spread of the disease was
due to the inability of the local physicians
10 diagnose it., not one of the practicing
physicians OF the town having treated small
pox. Drastic measures have been taken to
prevent the contagon from spreading fur
Their. The whole town is closely quaran-
tined, polced and guarded and heroic
measures will be prosecuted to check the
plague. The danger to the whole central
part OF the SAFE is manifest, as people of
Bedford, while infected with the disease
have been travelling far and near. George
Martin, member of Company A, Fifth
regiment, OF Huntington, who is afflicted
with small pox, contracted the disease
while playing foot ball in Bedford from an
opposing Bedford player who at the time
showed the crusts OF small pox on his face
The Huntington school board has ordered
compulsory vaccination of the pupils.

This is the time of year that commits
an aggravated assault on your pocket
book with disabling results. How to make
a modest roll go a long way, develops
mathematical tendencies that leave Euclid
out of the race altogether. Economically
disposed people sometimes make the mis-
take of thinking that a jewelry store is
necessarily an expensive place. They GER
tainly err gravely if they include Stern
berg & Co.'S big jewelry establishment
in the general conclusion, as your means
can be consulted as satisfactorily here as
in any other line of business. OF course,
if you want expensive presents, Sternberg
& Co. can meet your requirements with
excellent values, but if you want to spend
a small amount to advantage they can
equally please you, as, while every article
is the best, there are many hundreds of
desirable ones that are not only exactly
suitable for holiday gifts, but are also
very cheap at their prices. Drop in and
look over this handsome stock of fine dia-
monds, stylish jewelry, lovely cut-glass,
sterling silver onyx tables, stationery
watches, clocks and novelties, and you
will certainly find just what you want at
prices so small that you will realize your
mistaken impression at once.-ad.

INSPECTED THE TRANSPORTS.
over a Ton of Spoiled Ment Removed
From the Chester.

The transport Chester, ROumanian and
Minnewaska were inspected by officers OF
the health department yesterday. The
last two ships were boarded by Health
officer LeHardy In Tybee roads in the
morning, while he was down on visit
TO the quarantine station. The Roumanian
came up to the city shortly afterward,
but the Minnewaska VIII not come up I'M
til the morning tides
Inspector We'll went aboard the Chester
by direction of DR.. LeHardy, for the pur-
pose Of seeing the condition Of meat re-
ported spoiled He found 400 pounds IN
unsound condition, and ordered 1t as
posed of in the crematory. It appears the
meat had spoiled from careless packing,
according to Health Officer LeHardy, VINO
says it was put away in DoX in layers
between which ice was packed. 1t was
stated this packing was done prior to the
time the ship last left Savannah, and had
remained there during the entire voyage.
The result was much of it was almost
white, the substance was all gone, and
when it was exposed the smell was Of
fensiVe.
Inspector We'll condemned the entire lot,
and told the officers OF the ship they would
be required to remove it Immediately.
This was promptly done, the scavenger
wagons being used for the purpose. This
is the second lot Of meat which IL has
become necessary to destroy on the trans
ports, the former lot having been on the
Minnewaska, when the machinery Of her
refrgerating plant broke down on her hTst
"trip to Savannah.
There is no refriserating plant on the
Chester, and this accounts for the loss
of the meat supply. Dr.. LeHardy stated
the supply was stored in a box, and that
the only way to keep it, apparently, was
by packing ice with it. This does not
seem to be a satisfactory way of preserv-
ing, however, as the meat soon becomes
water-soaked, and all the substance taken
from it.
1.-The Roumanan and Minnewaska are
certainly clean ships" said DR.. LeHardy.
81 had no trouble in going aboard, and
after an inspection. 1 saw that everything
on board ship was in a clean, sanitary
condition. This was especially the case
with the Minnewaska."

The work of decorating will generally

the city a gala time appearance. AT the

pany Capt. Purse teegraphed TO the
company yesterday calling attention to
the coming visit of the President and soon
after the company sent word to its agent
TO have the building decorated. 1t has
not yet been decided whether there will be
any especial decorations at the Cotton Elk
change, save the usual flying of flags. At
the city exchange there will be no more
decoration than can be had from the use
of the flags of the various nations now in
the possession of the city. Everybody
who has a flag will, of course, fly it, and
there is reason to look for a liberal use Of
bunting.
