II Il conceded that the ground under
the stables and, naturally. under the
saloon also, Is insantary. For years II
has absorbed cesspool poisons. Back
Of the stables are shacks almost
Sretched enough to be typical OF the
Bishop Estate. To cap the climax It
is known that rats which. when sick
of plague, court the society of human
beings, came into the stable during
the month of January and staggered
about the feet of employees, who killed
them with clubs. The bodies were
buried in compost heaps where some
Of them were exhumed yesterday.
Rats which run in the stable also visit
the saloon. The two institutions open
into one another and might be said to
lay under one roof.
One could judge from precedents that
the Board of Health would have con-
demned and burned these nurseries of
the black death without delay. A
house which the late Mrs. Franz mere
ly entered, before she was conceded
to be sick, was destroyed. Other
houses, in good sanitary shape but
from which plague patients had been
removed, were also put to the torch.
Yet the Pantheon property still stands,
and it is so imperfectly guarded that

wherever they may go. And now it Is
actually proposed to save the stable
and saloon by letting the owners tear
up the floor, replace it with clean
boards and otherwise renovate the
premises. God help the laborers who,
in removing the flooring, happen to be
scratched or pierced by splinters; GOD
help the carpenters and painters and
paperhangers who have to go over the
reeking superstructure inch by inch.
Do we need to draw the moral? us

that the Pantheon property ought to

Samoa acted promptly in the matter
OF the plague and declared Honolulu
an infected port. Those islands, how
ever, take more risk from Australia
and various South Pacific groups than
they do from Hawaii. The plague is
having more OF run down that way
than it is here. and may easily reach
Samoa in the course of incidental
South Sea commerce.

fhe Meeting Between nm Ambitious
Hunter and His First Grizzly,
In Sketches of Life In the Golden
State" Colonel Albert $. Evans tells an
amusing anecd0te of an ambitious
hunter who met his first grizzly bear
In procession. The incident occurred
In the woods near the site of the pres.
ent town Of Monterey.
The hunter sat down to rest in the
shade of tree and unwittlngly went
to sleep. When he woke, 1t was near
sunset, and lie sat up, rubbing his eyes
and contemplating return TO his hotel
several miles distant.
Just then rustllng and cracking

100 yards away attracted his attention

Giving the Alarm That Aroused the
People of Madison.

1t has developed that Rev. w. T. G.

attempted bank robbery at Madison,

ism and the people of Madison are
loud In their praise of his pluck.
While the robbers were at work they
were seurprised twice, first by Oliver
Smead, who was made captive In the
shed at rear of the bank. The Rev.
w. r. G. Culp of the NJ. Il. church
drove up few minutes later and
was ordered to throw up his hands.
On his refusing to do so he was
shot at by the masked robbers, but
the plucky divine ran his horse to the
home of Cashier Stratton and gave
the alarm that aroused the citizens
Of the town. The robbers, however,
escaped unmolested.

Postal Service.

The holiday season has served to
furnish an illustration of the need Of
additional help at the Akron postofiicc.
The carriers have been worked like
slaves for the past two weeks and 1t
is \ wonder that some Of them have
not given way under the strain.
Men who ordinarily carry but ore
sack of mail were compelled to handle
1c during the few days preceding
Christmas. In order to do this they
were forced to make many extra trips
10 and from the office.
Despite this extra burden there was
hut one day when the office did uct
keep up with the business. Monday
night 1t was found that II few pack
ages that should have been delivered
were still on hand. These were han
died Tuesday morning. The record
made at the local Office is little short
Of marvellous.
Postmaster l.. s. Ebright has written
to Gen. Charles Dick, urging him to
use his influence for the appointment
OF three additional carriers for the
Akron office. His attention is called
to the fact that peculiar topography

notified that Canton has the same num-

there is no surplus OF men there DR..

The hunter sat spellbound with ter

what he did, he sprang to his feet and

The effect was magical. The fore

The hunter, seeing the enemy re-
treating, sprang to his feet and fed at
top speed for the hotel leaving hat and

startling tale was proved the next day
by the numerous bear tracks Of differ

What becomes of the ships that sink

cy and pictured all the ships that have
been lost In midocean as wandering
about like so many ghosts half way be-

There Is no foundation whatever for
such notion. though many persons
have 1t. Any object that will sink be-
meath the surface of the sea will go all
the way to the bottom. The pressure

has nothing to do with the objects

The reason why the object sinks to the

age that was well up into the centur-

birthday he managed to let those who
patronized me bath house know of the
fact and many were the coins that

The committee was greeted In the
most cordial manner by the hospital
officials.
Rev. L. A. Llndermuth secretary of
the hospital association stated that the
rules of the hospital required the man.
agement to accept ali emergency cases,
but reserved the right to reject all
contagious or incurable diseases. The
poor have the same rights and receive
the same care as the rich. If able to
pay, patient was expected to do SO,
but not one was rejected because of
poverty. The hospital staff consists of
40 local physicians who furnish med
ical service gratis. "As long as am
connected with the City hospital"
said Secretary Llndemuth, "I shall do
all in my power for the relief of suf-
fering humanity"
Hon. Geo. w. Grouse stated the OBJ.
jects Of the hospital and dwelt on the
good work the institution had accom-.
pllshed in the past; that the present

or a woman who had met with acci-
dent, had not received fair treatment
from this institution
DR.. Jacobs stated that the operating
rooms were most modern and the best
equipped of any similar institutions in
the United States.
After the conference the members
Of the committee felt satisfied that the
hospital as conducted at present is
