THE NEW PACIFIC CABLE.

Details Of the contract which has been
let for the laying Of the Pacific caole
give an idea of the vastness Of the
undertaking. and yet Of its compare
lively small cost. The price agreed
upon is el,7s5,OOO, which is consider
ably lower than the first estimates of
the cost of the work. The tenders of
some Of the firms were for even lower
sums, but the Telegraph Construction
and Maintenance Company agreed to
finish the laying Of the cable by the end
of 1902. and this proved a determining
factor in awarding the contract.
For the sum named the company
agrees to construct and lay a cable
1855 miles in length. connecting the fol-
lowing points: Vancouver, B. c., to
Tanning island, 1861 miles; Tanning
island to Fiji, 209s miles; Fiji to Nor

says that In falling he did not strike
anything, which sounds rather para
loxical, and we might be led to be-
lleve he was falling yet but for the fact
that he was about yesterday none the
worse for the bad scare and ducling he
got. Help was fortunately at hand and
attracted by his cries a couple Of men
ran to his assistance and fished him out.

FIFTY-NINE CASES.
December Record of Smallpox in Posey
County.

County.
The State Board of Health has re
ceIved report of the small ,ox which
has been raging in Posey county. he
report is for the month OF December
and shows the total number OF cases to
have been Gfiy-nine. The youngest
person having the disease was sixteen
months old aud the oldest WAS over 40
years of age, which does away with the
popular eupers tition that only people OF
certain age are liable to be smit Ell
with the disease. OF the lfty-nlne
cases only four were white, the other
fifty five being negroes. A strange
feature of the report is that not single
fatality IS reported. The reasons al
legged for this are that the disease Is OF
very mild form, and in addition pa
tients have been gwen the very best OF
attention.
The report furlh her states that not one
of the patients had ever been success
fully vaccinated. The three origlna
cases of smallpox responsible for thu
epidemic came from UniOntown, Ky
where the disease still RACES 10 epldeml

BARRIERS itch, and our young men are
herewith cautioned to exercise due care

maidens of our neighboring village. 1t
is well known here that the barber
itch is quite prevalent in Northern In
diana this winter but until now the
weaker sex has escaped the cOntaglon.
At bourbon the young folks have been
having great many social gatherings
recently at which sociables the promis-
cuous swapping of kisses was INDUCED
in, Notwithstanding the fact that the
quarantine was Oh. Hence the newt
able results as above given
Here in Plymouth our girls realized
the danger and it is said abstained from
affectionatlly saIuting their dear ones
in the good "old fashioned wav fol
nearly four weeks. by thus denying
themselves they escaped the contagion
1t is very much regretted, by our Plym
outh young people, that the girls OF
Bourbon did not take equal precautlon
They are now preparing a set of con
dolence resolutions which will be for
warded to the afflicted III the nelghbor
ing village.
The worst part about it all is that thu
',papas and msmmas" over there have
set their feet down hard on the "pOpu
lar sociables" and society is as tame a.
church-yard in consequence. So far
twelve cases of the itch have showI
up among the young women, ant
most all the others are satisfied tina
they have been exposed.
