Drowning
Comes Very Near Being
The Fate
OF BARRE BOY
Was HeroIcaIIy Rescued by a
Young Conrade
OF BARRE BOY

There was narrow escape and a
heroic rescue from death by drowning
in McFarland's ice pond at Jockey
Hollow yesterday afternoon. The
one who came so near losing his life
was young lad named Philip Hal
vosa son of Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Hal
voSa and the rescuer was Alex, son OF
David Morgan.
Several Of the boys were playing
about the edge Of the pond when
young Halvosa slipped and fell into
the water. He went down twice and
frantically struggled to reach dry land
but did not succeed and was just about
to 60 under for the "fatal third
time when young Morgan hanging to
to the floating bridge went in and
pulled him out. He was very much
frightened boy but will probably suf-
fer no Ill effects from the escapade.

WAITING.

On the lips of the nation today there
Is but one name; in its great heart but
one desire. In response to the can to
worship, the American people will seek
the sanctuary but not for their own
spiritual consolation. All pride of creed.
all prejudice, all seifshness, is subordi-
nate to the one great prayer for the lie
of him who lies near the border land of
death. The account of this awful deed
as it swept Ger the land thrilled with
horror the national mind and then left it
paralyzed.
A great sorrow. like a mist, illumined
by faint rays of hope, envelopes the ma
tionaI soul. Through the hours of yes
terday, in the faces of all was seen the
lines of nervous tension. The universal
mind was adjusting itself to the fact that
seemed almost too horrible for credence.
Men went to business in a mechanical
sort Of way, but there was 10 heart in
their work. The morning papers con-
tanned but one item of news-this the
people read. and about what they read
they thought
Of what interest is the great strike,
the news from the far East, the war in
Colombia or our commercial relations
with the world? The chief magistrate
lies WOUNDED perhaps dying, from the
assault OF an anarchist
The mind was b. ought face to face with
a demonstration of the almost hopeless
struggle of the right with wrong, of
goodness with the forces of evil. Each
appealed to the other with, Is there no
adequate remedy for this wrong? Must
the life of the best of earth be held at
a pins fee? Must we allow the theory
of anarchy to be preached and it's tenets
put in practice beneath our roof and at
our very hearthstone?
The people are powerIess before the
terrible fanaticism of these human IT,
gers. The eggs of the serpent must be
destroyed if the crawling species is to be
while the nation waits-waits for recov-y
cry or death. The nation today is but
one great prayer for life. Come life or
come death to President Mckinley, this
broad land contains no spot wherein an
anarchist may stand nor is it encom-
passed by a single foot of air that
an anarchist may breathe. We have
warmed the adder in our bosom and it
has at last stung US.
Law, liberty, and security must be pre-
served or our experiment fails, These
are the thoughts that haunt mems minds
today. There is a low, deep cry for
vengeance upon the heads OF all however
remotely responsible for this deed. The
American people are patient, they can
wait, but patience hath an end.

An increase of forty-nine5 cases Of
diphtheria in one month over the cor
responding month of the preceding year
is a record which ought to give serious
alarm to the community in which 1T Is
made. That is the record which is pre-
scented in this city for the month just
past.
1t does not require any special informa-
great advances have been made In recent
years in the cure of this disease.
1t is to be expected that corresponding
advances have been made in knowledge
of the means to promote the prevention
OF the disease.
For over three years the Gil o e has,
in season and out, preached the wrong
of the want of proper facilities for caring
for patients suffering from contagious
disease. We have just emerged, in COM
mon with nearly every community in this
and other states. from widespread
condition of smallpox contagion. The be-
ginning of the epidemic found US In this
city in the situation that the contagious
ward was declared to be more effective
as means of spreading than of effect
lively caring for such diseases. The stu
alton which now confronts us in the
matter of the spread of the disease of
diphtheria is a natural outcome of the
;o1,
so often warned.
The last report of the health depart
ment makes plain what has been in
sisted on, report after report, by City
Physician Ancker, viz: that the sup
posed facilities at the disposal of the
city for the treatment of contagious dis
ease would be found in actual operation
to be rather an additional source Of
danger from contagion. Year after year
DR.. Ancker has asked for the moneys
necessary to construct an adequate taddi-=
ton to the city hospital for the treat
ment of contagio diseases, and, year
after year, he has been denied what he
has asked for. Year after year he has
sounded the warning which we see now
fulfilled; and year after year., the city
has turned deaf ear to his pleadngs.
Once more we urge upon city authoritys
the urgent necessity of making proper
provision for the treatment of contagious.
disease It is most pressing and inn
portant subject. Something ought to be-
done at once in this direction for the
protection of the city health. The-coun 4
Gil would do well to take the matter
under consideration and make Whatever
provision is possible to be made at this
time for the establishment of assproper
and suitable contagious department in
the city hospital. Drs Ancker and
Ohage should unite, in seeing that some
thing is done before the winter is upon
us. It is almost a crime to continue to
talk of the superior healthtulnezs of
this city while the. danger exists of com
tagious diseases becoming more wide
spread among us, and as many as eight
cases of diphtheria are reported in one
day from our city hospital, where no
facilities exist for their proper, treat,
ment, but where those suffering from
| them are menace to other patients.
