The whole thing as 1t stands 10 a
farce and very grave problem will
have to be settled by the Legisla-
ture. Nowhere in Europe are an
nual health certificates demanded
for admission to public schools.
What is the use of such certificates.
A child may appear on the day
when the term opens healthy and
sound with big certificate. Three
months later the child may COM
plain OF sore throat to its parents,
who az the case is especially among
the poorer classes will order the
child to gargle and go to school,
and q week later an epidemic of
diphteria may be raging, finding its
special victims in that very school
which wac irequented by the child
with the health certificate.

THE PROHIBITIONISTS.
The State Convention at Tren-
ton To-day.

Trenton, May 6.-Great prepara-
tions are being made for the State
Prohibition Convention, which meets
In this city on Tuesday, and from all
Indications the gathering will be the
largest Prohibition Convention in the
State for many years. George J.
Haven, of Camden, State Chairman
OF the Prohibition party, has made
personal canvass of most of the
counties of the State, and reports an
interest being taken from Warren to
Cape May, with nineteen county con-
yentions thus far held. Only two
counties in the State Cumberland
end Salem-have failed to call CON
ventions, but it is probable that both
of these counties will be represented
at the Convention with good sized
delegations.
The convention will nominate
Presidential electors and select dele
gates to the National Convention, to
be held in Chicago, in June. Special
rates OF fare have been conceded on
the different railroads on Convention
day, which insures a large attend
ance. not only of deleagtes, but also
of members of the Prohibition party.
The Convention will be called to
order at 1870, and a big mass meet
ing will be held in the evening with
National Chairman Oliver II. Stewart
as the main speaker of the evening.

SHE RAN AWAY.
A Young Woman Attacked Sun.
49,. day Night.

Residents of Atlantic street were
awakened last Sunday night by the
piercing scream of a young woman
who was evidently in distress. When
the startled people could hasten to
their windows or doors, they saw
the flying figure of a beautifully
dressed young woman, running
screaming at the top of her voice out
Atlantic street to Hampton and about
that corner. Down Atlantic street
chased young man, and he was max
ing the time of one terrified.
Investigation revealed the fact that
the very. estimable young woman was
going home Sunday night unescorted.
1t was late, but the young lady was
not afraid. Just after she had passed
Vine street she was accoSted by a
young man. He wanted to accompany
her toward her home. She objected.
He graSped her arm and she gave a
little scream. He became more bold,
and terribly frightened she shrieked
loudly. The young fellow frightened,
started to run away. Finding herself
free the young woman ran the other
way. There is quite a little of this
fresh conduct upon the part of some
of the long haired, cigarette smoking
sap heads, who think they are simply
irresistible to the fair sex.

argument to the jury. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Potter for the defense.
Judge Trenchard then charges the
jury and then it retired, but soon re-
turned with verdict of guilty.

folks into an attack of hysteria.
Over on Vine street there iS-a young

been experimenting. The kids in
that neighborhood have developed
fondness for playing with fire. They
I'LL their mouths with kerosene oil

Monday night burglars visited the

and completely ransacked the first floor
Of the dwelling.
Late in the night the barking of a
dog awakened Miss Mabel Nixon, and
she soon discovered that the house
had been visited by burglars. All of
the electric lights were turned off.
Investigation showed that after the

made careful search of the house, and

dollars, have been missed.

A Dangerous Hallucination.

/ saw shrewd and successful gen
tleman who, on my being introduced,
said he was glad to have talk with a
nerve doctor, for he thought there was
something wrong. Then he told his
tale, which was that he was pestered
by gangs of gypsies who appeared ev-
erywhere. He said that he had just
come in from chasing them in his gar
den, for wherever he looked out he
saw them pulling up his shrubs.
1 said: But the shrubs are not re-
moved. How do you account for
this?''
He said: 'Well, it is hard to tell, but
I still feel they do it, and when I wake
in the morning | see the same gypsies
using my toothbrush and my hair
brushes. jump up, only to find they
have disappeared" He admitted the
absurdity of the whole thing, but yet
he said he felt it was true, and he
must act upon his belief.
What might have proved serious
loss followed the persistent hallucina-
tons, for before l insisted on his with
drawing from all business he had on
one holiday gone to his Office to look
through his private safe with it's very
valuable securities. Before leaving he
thought he saw his son in the adjoin-
Ing Office and told him to put the things
away and to lock the safe. The son
was hallucination, and it was only
by accident that the son discovered the
state Of affairs before others arrived
next day.-London Lancet.

in boarding street car and interfering
with the nonunion motormen who are

at the time, but the court held that it
made no difference and that the rail

protection Of the court all times. The
court further declared that the use of

Plague in San francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-There are
no new developments in the plague
situation. No new cases have been dis
covered. This announcement was made
by the board of health last night The
incubation of Chinese and japanese is
quietly going. At all the exits of the
city doctors are stationed and unless a
Chinese or japanese can exhibit GER
tificate of incubation he is not permit
ted to pass the city limits. The decla-
ration of the board Of health that the
plague exists in the Chinese quarter of
the city has produced no alarm outside
of that section. The chief feature of
the situation lies in the opposition of
the Chinese and Japanese to inocula-
ton. They say would rather die from
the plague than poison.
