vide dormitory for the female students.
of whom there ore now 25 enrol.ed. All

and it Is felt that those young women
who are not natives of Baltimore will bo
accommodated InuCh better ut the college
than at boarding houses or in private
families
Funds for the cost of erection will be
drawn from two sources. Flom the gen.
eral "Twenticth century Educational
Fund" now being raised by the Mcthp-
dist Episcopal Church will como most of
the cost. In addition numb n of churches
have promised to give assistance. There
are four patronizng conferences from
which nearly all OF tho help will como
namely, the Baltimore and tho Whining
ton Conference, both white, and the
Washington and Delaware, both colored.
Collections will begin this month, and as
soon as practicable ground will be broken
for tho new building.

A Bold Thief

Superintendent Barnard, OF the
p, W. & B. X r., would like to
meet a young man who visited his
private car yesterday. The young
man carried off a lot Of silverware
without an order. Superintendent
Bannard's car was under the shed
at Front and Poplar Track W. rk-
men we're at work near by. A well
dressed man walked to the car, re-
moved a window pane and entered
the car. He secured a silver tray
and castor and placed them under
his arm. Then he picked up sill
YER pitcher and walked up street.
One of the car cleaners saw the
man when he left the car with the
articles. His suspicious were
aroused and upon discovering that
the man had entered through the
window, he gave the alarm. For
tunately the balance of the silver
table ware was locked up in the
cafe

THE MILK
ANALYSIS.
DR.. Frank Roop Smith Ad-
vances an Idea that Flies
Spread Typhoid Fever.

DR.. Frank Roop Smith has givcn his
report on nine samples Of milk presented
to him by MILK Inspector McEvilly and
he In turn has handed In the report to the
Board Of Health some Of the samples Of
milk taken from nine milkmen were Of
skinned milk, and hence 1t will be seen
by tho following report that Dr. Smith
believed some Of the milk had been skim
med. The report follows.
tits impossible that the typhoid vacillus
could have been In the milk when IL came
rom the cows, and to have bean present
when 1t was sold, 1t would need to have
been introduced In the water to wash the
cans or dilute tho milk, or from flioa, SOIL
ed hands Of the milk man on some suoh
means. The results of the analysis did
not prove that water had been added, al
though some samples were little thin for
natures production and one or two may
have been skinned. Since no wator was
added to the milk and II was sold az II
came from tho cows. the possibility OF
similar milk having been he cause OF the
infection Is extremely slight and for such
anumber of cases of typhoid to have boon
caused In one locality. by milk from niue
different dealers, from a. many different
sections, Is impossible All the samples of
the milk wore free from dirt and sediment
and microscopicai examination showed
nothing which would indicate the presence
Of excrementitious matter. No attempt to
find the germ of typhoid fever by bacter-
biological methods was made. as such at
tempts partnke Of the nature Of the search
for needle In hay stack, and absolute
definite results are probably never obtain.
cd. One manner of the local spreading Of
the disease In which milk wculd take
part and yet the dealer be innocent, and
which may have occasioned this local
epidemic Is as follows One case Of typhoid
existing the onn is left in on uncovered
vessel sitting on the back porch or in the
yard. With some careless families this is
occasionally done, especially In the night.
In tho early morning many fiios are at
tractet and after crawling over and
through tho same to their contentment,
are, in IN hour or so afterwards, TO be
floundering in the milk In the pitcher or
other uncovered vessel left OUT by the
noighbors to receive the milk from the
dairymnn. In this manner thousands of
germs may bo transplantod and communl
ties infected. Respectfully yours.

HUNTING
A SUSPECT.
Board of Health Officers
Search for a Typhus Few.
err Suspect.

Executive officers Hignutt and
Allen had an interesting experience
this morning, searching for typhus
fever suspect. AS stated on Satur-
day in the REPUBLICAN, the Board
had been notified that Feliksa New.
rocka came here the previous night
The person named in the telegram
had been a suspect on the injected
vessel Aragonia. 49,.
On the way over from Antwerp
but one case Of sickness appeared
among the steerage passengers.
The Aragonia is freight boat and
carries no cabin passengers. The
case was not thought to be serious
by the ships doctor, but it was iso-
lated in the ships hospital. The
patient complained only of weak
ness, and the temperature was
about normal. There were no in
dications of typhus fever, even when
coming up the river, and the vessel
passed quarantine. When the Ara
gonia touched the wharf, the patient
was Immediately sent to the Phila-
delphia Hospital, together with an
other immigrant who had not been
ill during the voy age, but showed
signs of sickness at the dock.
At the hospital typhus developed
very rapidly and quick action was
taken by Colonel Good, Of the Board
OF Health, in conjunction with the
State Quarantine service. A few
of the immigrants who had landed
were sent to the Municipal Hospi-
tai. The remainder together with
the crew. we're confined to the ship
and sent to quarantine.
Several of the passengers who
came ashore stopped at lodging
houses, all of which have been thor
oughly disinfected, together with
all the baggage aboard the ship,
and all brought ashore.
The telegram received by the
Board of Health stated that New
rocka was bound tor No. AL Front
street, this city.
TIE officers found that No. 421
West Front street is the office of
Pierson e. Sen. They learned, how
ever, that Hungarian woman had
been at No. 4l9 Front street on Fri
day night and drove away in a cab.
The officers were puzzled and
then retraced their steps toward
42l East Front street. AS they
reached Front and Poplar streets.
they saw three Hungarians turn
the corner. BY inquiry they learn
ed from the men that they had ar
rived on Friday night from New
York. The Board of Health officers
then called up the police station to
secure the services OF the Polish Of
f;cer. August Ferschke was called
by the police and sent to the aid of
the Health men. The three men
admitted that they had reached
Wilmington on Friday night from
the Old Country. They landed at
New York, came direct to this city,
and are stopping at No. III Poplar
street. Then the officers were sur
prised when they were informed
that "FellSka' was a WOman'S
name. Then they ceased the hunt
for a man suspect and started to
hunt Tor the woman who had been
in the cab. They were unsuccess-
full.
The two infected passengers
were from the south Of Russia.
and It is probable that they con-
tracted the disease i'll that place. or
at least carried the germs with
them across the continent to Ant
wc,p. The famine typhus' is now
raging in Southern Russia. and
whole villages are dying under the
scurge. Both men came from the
infected region.
