Causes Of Typhoid Fever.

There we're thirty. nine new
cases of typhoid fever reported
last week, and four deaths result.
cd from the disease. In August
there were 189 cases brought to
the notice of the health depart
ment and thirty seven deaths.
Last week there were 1875 deaths
from troubles of all kinds, OF
which fifty-four were children
under one year of a age. The num-
Der of cases of fever generally in
creases as the summer advances,
and in the early autumn there
are mora cases of typhoid than in
the arly summer. This is due to
the increase in impurities, which
become more marked the longer
not weather continues. Vegeta-
ton becomes rank and decays at
the end Of summer, leaving con-
ditions favors. The impurities in
water also increase from the same
cause. More typhoid fever is due
to impure water than to any
osher cause. Baltimore's water
supply is ample and the water is
good: but, as in all localities, af-
ter a peculiarly trying summer,
some impurities are found. The
safest way to boil all drinking
water. If ordinary water is sub
jected to 212 degrees of heat, far.

beg the Associated Press to com
municate this response to all.
Nearby cities are supplying and

Cities farther away can serve us
best by sending money. Checks

We have 1000 people to clothe

Most of these are homeless and
the others will require money to

VAST ARMY OF MINERS
CALLED FROM WORK.
Pennsylvania Coal Mines VIII
BE Shut DOwn-The Orders
to Strike.

CO SGrlke.
Indianapolis, Sept. 22.-At5 10
O'Clock this afternoon President
Mitchell and Secretary Wilson of
the United Mine Workers of
America affixed their signatures
to the document which will call
145,000 miners of the Pennsylva-
MIA anthracite region from their
work Monday morning and pro-
eipitate one of the most gigantic
strikes In the history of the labor
world.
The document was the official
lndorsement of the request of the
anthracite districts to strike. 1t
was considered by the national
executive board of the Mine
Workers last week and when the
board adjourned all power to in
dorse the request for the strike
was left in the hands of the ma
tional president and secretary.
This afternoon Pres. Mitchell
and Secretary Wilson sat in the
headquarters receiving kilograms
from different part of the anthra
cite region and hoping, they said ,
that each message might bring
some concession from the opera
tors that would prevent the strike,
but none came.
Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-THE
Urder VI President Mitchell call
ing out the miners in the anthra-
cite coal region of this State re-
calls the last strike in the same
district three years ago, which
was practically ended by the
tragedy at Lattimer, in which 21
minors we're killed and over so
wounded by deputy sherlffs. The
strike inaugurated to day by the
United Mine Workers for the
time being terminates operations
in the most productive hard coal
field in the world.
The mine employees in the an
thracite district of Pennsylvania
number about 145, 900. The men,
bership of the union is not known
to certainty, but leaders claim
that about so per cent. of the
miners are organized. The union
men do not anticipate any diff
Guilty in inducing the unorgRnized
miners to strike. The closing of
the mines is expected to reduce
the regular coal production Is
per cent. Should the strike con-
tinue over a period Of two mont this
the loss wall amount to many
millions of dollars. Officers of
the miners union estimate that
the organization has q cash bal
ance of 81 ,000, 900 in the treasury
with which to conduct the strike.
The more important of the mi
ners' demands are as follows
Abolition of the company store;
reduction in the price of powder
to $3.50 per keg; abolition of
company doctors ; semi monthly
payment of wages abolition of
the sliding scale wages paid in
cash; 2,240 pounds to the ton
an advance of 20 per cent. in
wages less than 81 50 and not
exceeding $1.75 a day; that all
classes of day labor now receiving
$50 and not exceeding $1.75
shall receive Is per cent. over
present wages that all day labor
now receiving $1.75 shall be ad-
vanced 10 per cent.

THE CENSUS MANS WOES.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
One census man hunked, another has
gone insane, and a third las committed
suicide--a rather startling record so early
j the enumeration.
The Gntortuna'e census taker is treated
seemingly even by some apparently in
telligent honseholdrIs as an intruder
prying into affairs which are private and
personal, and he is treated accordingly
In several instances the aid OF t e
police has been invoked to compel ex-
asperated and unwilling citizens to re-.
veal names, ages and answers to the rest
OF the catechsm. In one case even the
majesty OF the law proved Intellectual, for
both the policeman and the census taker
ere driven off.
As the pay is SO pitifully small for the
amolnt OF unpleasant labor entailed
those who have any OF the milk Of hu-
man kindness in their composition will
make it as easy as possible for the census
taker by having list made out of the
number, names and ages of members of
their households and leaving it in case of
absence to facilitate the work Of the
census man.

HANDS THAT SNIITE TREM.
From the Milford Chronicle.


For forty years there has been in Will
mington small coterie of Republicans
who have had the ear of political leaders
at Washington, and they have used that
influence to good effect for themselves,
and have drawn kindred class in Kent
and Sussex counties, who now comprise
the Regulars" and the federal office
holding class. They are not in sympathy
with the majority of Republicans of
Kent and Sussex, and work with the
Democrats for the defeat Of Union Re-
publicans; who, at this time, have every
county officer elected in Kent county,
six out of ten assessors, and eleven out
OF seventeen Inspectors.
The principle OF equity of representa-
tion is involved in our fight in the two
lower counties, ard the people here
understand it; but the Wilmington
Regulars" ascribe other and unworthy
motives to the Union Republican leac-
ers. They abuse, villify and belitt e
every man who is Union Republican.
Every means has been brought to bear
to throttle Union Republicans, and even
men assuming to be gentlemen have
tried from financial squeezing down to
social ostracism. The final resort has
been the hiring of Democratic editor
for Colonel duPont's Evening Journal to
viliity the personal character Of leading
Union Republicans

and such other county and state officials
as may have the proper authority, to
make such investigation into the actions
of said Levy Court as may ascertain and
determine whether there has been such
extravagant and fraudulent use Of the
