les In the two outbreaks investigated
the trouble was found to be caused by
the use Of milk utensils which had not
been sufficiently scalded. The bacteria,
remaining in cans which had previously
contained viscid milk, were able to sur
vive the washing and remain alive to
infect new quantities of milk. Greater
care in scalding utensils brought the
trouble to an end All small utensils

which was allowed to remain for the
same length of time. A thorough inves-
tigatiOn of the sources from which the
bacteria might have entered the milk at
the stables and of sources elsewhere
failed to reveal the presence of bacillus
lactis viscosus. Nevertheless there is
reason to suspect that during warm
weather these particular bacteria get
into the milk from water.
The Importance of thorough scalding
of vessels which have once contained
ropy milk is urged upon the consumer
as we'll as the dealer. Bacteria may
readily be transferred from running wa
ter to milk by the agency of mud,
which, drying upon the udder, may be
dislodged during milking. Milk utensils
which have been used for containing
water should be scalded before using
again for milk. The apparent purity Of
water used about creamery gives no
assurance that it is free from bacteria

Mary Mcsweeny's Complaint to the

Mary McSweeny, of s17 Fifteenth Street

the Commissioners that certain wires had
been strung and attached to the roof o.
premises owned by her at 511 Thirteenth
Street, and asked to have the wires re-
moved
The matter was investigated by the
Commissioners. who ascertained that there
was one fixture of the District Mutual
District Messenger Company attached to
the front coping of the roof of the prem
ises 1t was affixed by nails, which the
Commissioners were informed might cause
a leak in the front of the house.
The inspector also reported that two
wires belonging to the United States Elec-
tric Lighting Company are attached on the
the top of the roof in a very careless
manner, one of which racks has been
pulled over. leaving large holes in the tin,
thereby causing great damage through
leakage"
After the receipt of this report Commits

ity of following a suggestion to have the
wires removed suggested that the Com

thorize electric lighting or telephone com
panies to place wires on private residences.

to remove such wires. the property owner

Edward Errell, an old man who died at
Bellevue Hospital last evening of starva-
ton was the assistant of the Bidwells
when they perpetrated their tremendous
forgeries on the Bank of England. in 1872
Errell said at the hospital that he had
steady employment as an engraver with
firm of jewellers in Union Square when
Austin Bidwell went to him and hired him
to go to England to help in the forgeres.
He would not tell who his New York en-
ployers had been; they had always treated
him well. he said, and there was no reason
why he should drag their name in. When
the Bidwell gang was broken up, Errell
drifted back to this country. Misfortune
and trouble had followed him from the day
he first met Austin Bidwell.
Errell was found at Fourth Avenue and
Sixteenth Street Thursday night. a helpless
wreck. He told the police that he had not
eaten for four days and that he had been
driven away from every place where he
went to ask for food or the chance to wash
himself He had been prevented from
washing himself even in horse troughs

proved that peace hath her victories no

is an advertising agent living at No. 23S
Halsey Street, Brooklyn. 1t was very
lucky for the two Osborne children that he
went to Fort Hamilton yesterday.
Grace Osborne is seven years old and her
brother Harold is nine years. Their faith
er is well-known surveyor; their home is
at No. 1856 Fifty-sixth Street. Brooklyn.
With their nurse the two children went to
Fort Hamilton yesterday afternoon. The
nurse got to gossiping with other nurses
and Grace and Harold slipped away from
her.
The children got into a rowboat that was
tied to a pole. Harold unfastened the rops
and the ebb-tide catching the boat carried
it out through the Narrows toward the
sea. The children thought they were sure
ly lost and cried at the top of their lungs.
Their nurse, seeing their plight, seemed to
lose her senses and tried to jump into the
water, but men grabbed hr.
Then Mr.. O'Donnell proved his pluck. He
threw off his coat and vest. kicked off his
shoes. plunged in any Justify swan after
the boat, a quarter of a mile away then.
The weeping children dried their tears and
looked anxiously at their rescuer as he
got closer, closer. O'Donnell carefully
climbed into the boat, in which, luckily,
was pair of oars, and soon restored the
youngsters to their nurse.
o'Donnell dried his clothes in a hotel
and went away before Mr.. Osborne, learn

Long black tresses fell over his shoulders

His companions broke into paroxysms of
mirth, but the stranger might have been

the trio cogitated deeply until inspiration

board of physicians declared him insane.

started to run. He was fired upon by four
negro soldiers, and his body fell into the
