Gunboat Marietta" May Go
To China.

Washington, June 19--When the Of
fetal day closed it was found that a
message received in the morning from
Admiral Remey az the navy depart
ment touching the readiness of the
Princeton and Marietta and Zafiro for
immediate service, represented all the
news thathad come to the government
from the East since yesterday. One
fact Of the utmost Importance develop
ed however, that the notice of the
Russian governments intention to
dispatch 1000 troops to China was ac-
companied by an understanding that
.hese troops were to be used for the
assistance OF Europeans and Ameri-
cans and with no purpose of territorial
aggression on the part of Russia. This
assurance was received with the great
est satisfaction. 1t is understood that
Japan, in view OF Russia's frank decla-
ration, will consent to assume the
same obligation toward the other ma
tons, in which case the greatest OBJ
5tacle to effective action, whether con-
current or joint, by the powers in
China may be considered as removed

Isolating Consumptives.

The Board OF Health OF Trenton, n
j., has just adopted new regulation
which puts consumption in the list OF
contagious and infectious diseases
Hereafter it will be within the class
THAT embraces diphtheria, smallpox
scarlet and yellow fever. In carrying
out the regulations an attempt will be
made to isolate all patients afflicted
with the disease after it is well estab-
lished that the disease Is consumption
But right here in the diagnosis the
trouble will arise. Doctors will differ
A case in question Is worth recalling.
A gentleman who at one time resided
in Cincinnati was afflicted with con-
sumption, or, at least, his trouble was
thus diagnosed by eminent FRACTION
ers. He was somewhat obstinate and
perverse and refused TO class himself
in the list, though he was frankly told
that one lung was gone and the other
badly diseased. He went south for a
winter, and during his absence be-
came in inveterate drinker. He re-
turned after half years stay much
improved in health. He swore of
drinking and continued in business.
He went south another winter and re-
turned apparently in perfect health
That was thirty years ago. Today he
is in the lumber business in West Vir-
ginia, has stood all kinds OF exposure,
and at 55 years Of age is a robust and
hearty man, weighing about 200
pounds.
OF course, case like this is excep-
tfonal, but it shows clearly that great
injustice might be occasioned by isola-
tion unless the patient has reached
stage where the diagnosis can not be
questioned.-Commercial Tribune.

Gardner, who Is confined here in the
Jail. and was placed In the dungeon on
Monday for vicious attacks on his fell

relieved himself of his leg irons by an
exertion OF strength, from their fast
enings about his ankles. At about
noon today Danvers. who is confined
in the county Jail upon the charge of
bu anu WIN WnoH
fought on Monday, passed the dungeon
Eoor Impelled by feeling of curos-
ity and wishing to jeer at Gardner,
Danvers put his face in the flood hole
OF the door. and quick as flash of
lightning Gardner struck Danvers in
the face with the leg irons. telling him
to the floor. The deputy sheriff on
guard. hearing the disturbance. hur-
ried to the scene and was defed by the
inmate of the dungeon, Gardner with
his dangerous weapon. The prisoner
was oyerpowered and disarmed. and
the sheriff. realizing that Gardner is
the most dangerous of criminals, will
keep him locked in the cell until his
trial.
The face of Danvers is much bruised
but he is not seriously hurt.

Metre gave Tuesday evening at her
attractive home on Third street. About
one hundred and fifty ladies were In
vlted to enjoy Mrs. vanMetre's hos
pilality, and the large house fairly
swarmed with guests during the per-
iod of the company.
The house was a genuine bower of
floral life and loveliness. American
Beauty roses prevailed in the recep-
ton hall; white buds and white lilies
in the drawing room; while every
thing in the dining room was harmon
iously red, with the poppy in predom-
nance. On the dining table stood a
handsome jardiniere whose surface
glowed with richly painted poppies
and whose interior was filled with
poppies; and the same rested upon an
embroidered centre piece rejecting the
same design. Asparagus vine also add
ed grace to the table decoration.
Mrs. VanMetre received her guests,
and she wore superb toilette Of black
duchesse satin, deliberately trimmed
with jetted net.
Mrs. Snakard, Mrs. Way and Mrs. c.

guests into the supper room. where
Miss Nelson. Miss Emma Schmidt Miss
Ida Noll and Miss Tracy cared for
them with refreshments consisting OF
small buns, salad. olives, almonds,
ices. cake, coffee and bon bons.
Misses Edna Snakard and Katie Nc
Donough were the good fairies who
dispensed punch most gracefully to
those who thristed.
Little Misses Helen Snakard, Flor
ence Tracy, Gladys Alderman and Tes-
sic Davis met the ladies at the en-
trance door and showed them where
% repair to dispose of their wraps.
The Marietta orchestra dispensed a
grateful melody over the assemblage
and the music was much appreciated.
