STAMPING OUT DnPHTBERIA.

The gratifying experience of Boston in
the matter of stamping out diphtheria
seems to have been repeated In large mea-
sure in Baltimore. The Health Depart
ment Of the latter city reports a great
decrease in the number Of cases so iar
this month, as compared with the num-
Der Of cases for the same time In Deem
ber 1897. The Baltimore health authorities
believe the striking decrease to be due
to the use of anti-toxin, which Is being
generally introduced by physicians In
their practice, and to the system OF warn
ing placards, disinfection, and close
watchfulness over public schools.
BY pretty general resort to the anti
toxin treatment and a system Of regular
and rigid examination Of the pupils in the
public schools Boston has succeeded in
almost annihilating the scourge.

Early in October in public statement
he declared that he had instructed his
counsel to force the case TO speedy

be heard. and after that to expose legally

Of the proceeding.
But the case could not be forced 10

purpose, and would show decided
diminution Of vitality after the cleo

And the sequel would seem to prove

called. about the beginning of this month,

A year ago. a little year,
But. oh! it seems full ten years long
Since one she loved was here-Was mere,
And with her sang the Christmas song.
The Christmas song of mirth ana cheer,
one year ago, one weary year.
Alone she sits and thinks OF him.
The years last sands are sinking low
The empty room IS strangely dim
Save for the candles yellow glow.
Almost one fancies ghosts about;
The sparkling Yule-tide stars are out.
She sings, with what a quavering note,
Her grieving thoughts are FAR away
A sob is trembling in her throat,
How shall she sing this song to-day
Old memories at her heart-strinBs Gluten
ones native land may ask too much!
And vet there may be tender ghosts
That steal from shores contiguous
To waves that sweep from our own coasts
And wistfuly yearn over us;
Such shadowy friends, so close they stand
one almost feels the vanished hand.
And many n heart this Christmas-tice
Keeps vigil for its dear ones gone.
A lonely hearth, a chair beside
The embers once that redly shone.
And many n heart must mourn It's fate

ANOTHER BIG TOBACCO DEAL.
Union Company Secures the Biack'

CNew York Press-lSth)

New York Press-l3th)
A. r. Widener, Thomas Dolan, and w.
l.. Elkins. Of the Metropolitan Traction
Company. were informed last night that
a heavy deal in tobacco, In which they are
Interested, had been contaminated at PM
adelphia.
Bv this transaction the Union Tobacco
Company has secured tthe entire capital
stock of the Blackwell Durham Company
for 81. 10000 The money has been paid
and the stock deposited with an express
company in Philadelphia for shipment 10
this city this morning. 1t will probably
be deposited with the Union Trust Com
pany.
In speaking Of the big deal Thomas r.
RYAN. one of the interested parties, said
last night:
"The Union Tobacco Company, in Sc
curing the Blackwell Durham Company,
obtains control of a business established
for thirty years, and through it can dis
tribute it's cigarettes without extra cost
The faot that President Butler, the
president Of the Union Tobacco Company
was until lately a director in the Amerl-
can Tobacco Company has given the I'M
PRECISION in some quarters that we VIII
fight that concern. This is altogether
erroneous. We VIII have a special field
and will not be in opposition 20 the
American Tobacco Company.
1T is our hope that. under the new
ARRANGEMENT, the Blackwell Durham
Company viii earn even more money imam
ever as there will be greater economy IN
the management and in the cost OF pro-
ductiOn."
Despite this assertion, Il IS understood
by men well informed on the subject
that there will be bitter rivalry between
the Union Company and the American.
