Report Of the Health Officer.

Our thanks are due to DI John S. Fulton
Secretary of the State Board of Health
for copy of the last Annual report of
the Board.
DR.. VIM. H. Gibbons, the Health Officer
for this county, contributes the follow
ing:
GROOM, MD, DECEMBER 81, 1898.
In submitting my report for 1898, l
would say that our county was not, TO any
extent, visited by any infectious or con-
tagious diseases, until about June 1st.
when we had an outbreak of diphtheria
among the colored families around Upper
Marlboro, which afterwards extended to
some of the whites, especially westward
towards Forestville, Spalding's district.
With great difficulty its spread was check
ed, owing no doubt, to several causes, the
principal CT which was that some Of the
physicians failed to report at once, allow
ing those families infected to communi-
cate with others. 1t was also difficult to
get the colored people to keep quaran-
tine regulations without constant watch
ing. There were in all about twenty or
twenty-five families infected mostly color
e(D before it was cotton under control,
with quite number of deaths. We had
great difficulty in having some of the dead
from the disease buried, there being no
regular undertaken in the town Of Upper
Marlboro. AntitoXine was used freely to
immunize, with very gratifying results.
In fact, not until antitoXne was used did
the disease begin to abate.
Typhoid fever was prevalent more or
less all over the county, few cases here
and there In no locality that | have re
ports of did it assume the form of an cpl
demic except at the House of Reforma-
ton for Colorcd Boys, at Chetenham
where fifteen Or more boys were affected
at one time We were unable to trace
cause of its spread at that institution
The secretary of the State Board of Health
Dr. Fulton, visited the premises and care
fully looked it over, but was also at Il loss
(after carefully analyZng water supply
| to know cause other than a very dry sea
son.
Have had reports of a few cases Of scar
let fever in dffere mt parts of county, but
| no great spread.
The vital statistics for county have
been incomplete owing to few OF
J physicians and mid-wives not sending re
| ports, and cannot be complete until al
physicians cooperate.

Story of Il Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years by
the chains of disease is the worst form of
slavery. George d. Williams, of Man
chester, Mich, tells how such a slave was
made free. He says: MY wife has been
so helpless for five years that she could
not turn over in bed alone. After using
two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is Won
derfully improved and able to do her own
work. This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleep
lessncss, melancholy, headache, backachcs,
fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle
working medicine is godsend to weak,
sickly, run down people. Every bottle

Death of Mrs. Chew.

Mrs. Louisa Daingertield Brooks Chew
wife of Judge II. b. Il. Chew, died at her
home, "Ellerslic," on Sunday last after
long illness from heart trouble. She was
4 great sufferer, but bore her pains with
Christian fortituic and resignation
Surrounded by devoted household, over
whom she exercised the ever potent in
fluence of pious wife and mother, she
lived and died in the beautiful serenity OF
quiet conscience and of Il heart full of
thankfulness and holy joy.
Mrs. Chew was a lady of unusual intel
lectual and social abilities. She made her
home centre of refinement and culture,
and the generous hospitality of 'Ellcrslie'
was extended to many a welcome guest.
Young and old were wont to congregate
around the hearthstone there, and the
beautiful accomplishments of the hostess
and her rare Conversational powers inn
pressed all who came within the sphere
of her influence.
1t would be amiss in this brief memoir
not to speak of the Christian charity and
general benovelence of the deceased No
one of her acquaintance in sorrow failed
to received her sympathy, and no ones
want ever came to her knowledge that
she did not relieve it to the best of her
ability The sick and suffering were
always the objects of her tender solicit
tude and her generous ministrations, ex-
tending over a period of fifty years, will
make dear her memory in many house
holds. 1t was source Of pleasure to her
to feel that she had never lost sight of a
friend, and had never lost the friend
ship of friend once made.
The funeral took place on Tuesday
from Trinity Church. Rev. Mr. Sontag,
assisted by Rev. f. P. Willes, officiated.
A large concourse of friends and relatives
attended. many of the latter coming from Il
distance. The floral tributes were very
beautiful

The Late Arthur Lee, Esq.

This gentleman, who was one of the
at his home in that city on April 10Th in
the send year of his age. He was son of
the late Major F. Lee. and nephew of
the late VIM. B. Hill, Esq, of this county.
The St. Louis Daily Globe Democrat in
speaking of the deceased said:
Arthur Lee was the brother of Mr.. VIM.
H. Lee, president of the Merchants
Laclede Bank, and of Mr.. John F. Lee,
who was associated with him in the prac-
tice of law. He was son of John F.
Lee, a distinguished Ma or of the L. S.,
| army. He was born at Fortress Monroe,
Va, in June 1917. He spent the major
portion of his younger days in the fort
and when young man was graduated
from the Jesuit College, Georgetown,
District of Columbia. This was in June
1868; at the time he reached his majority
The following year he attended the Uni
versity of Virginia, where he studied law
He then accepted position as secretary

in command Of the North Atlantic squa-
dron, and remained at sea with him for
four years coming to St. Louis in 1873 He
had lived here ever since. As soon as he ar

arthur Lee did not marry, and remain
ed a bachelor all his life, seeming to be
more than satisfied with the love of his
| brother. The two had lived together
since their coming to this city, and their
devotion to each other was SO remarkable
that, although there was over a year s

called 1.-The twins" Nothing was ever
| known to mar the absolute confidence
between the two. Their house at 1922
Locust street was domestic paradise III

about it being as harmonious in its ap-
pointments as the taste of two men could

fire on Friday morning, together with
two valuable carriage horses, handsome

attempt TO inject sentiment where act
i've support is demanded to enthuse
prices. AT such times the conditions

liquidated by Thursdays close and we
hardly feel like advising short sales
now. Opinion is too general on that
side. A declining market near the first
of the month Is an old precedent and is
usually good for a turn after the 1st.
We must remember that December is
far away and it Is not natural to have
a straight declining market without re-
actions, even If northwest receipts grow
larger. The spring crop will be the
final adjuster of prices and with con-
tinued heavy movement the course
would be downward, but with the first
heavy flush Of receipts marketed, new
attention would be given by buyers.
We would think 1t well to cover short
wheat on further declines and accept
bulges to resell on.

state senator in a Feud.

London, KY. Aug. ga we'll found
ed report has just been received here to
the effect that last Saturday night a
pitched battle took place on the streets
Of Mckee, in Jackson county.
On one side were State Senator Will
liam Clark of the Seventeenth district
and Sherman Leadford, while on the
other We're James Hayes and his three
sons.
The families of the men, the parties
pants in the fight, are among the most
wealthy and influential in the state and
county and it was this jealousy of in
fiuence, it is said, that caused the dead
ly struggle.
Information concerning the details of
the fight are neager, but the report says
that Senator Clark received three pistol
balls in the neck, breast and foot, and is
in a critical condition.
One of the Hayes boys was shot in
the breast with a double-b arreled shot
gun, and will die.
