AN EARLY BURIAL.

He thought that the board should in
sist upon the burial within twenty
four hours. or thrty-sN at the outside,
of the bodies of persons dying from not
only scarlet fever, smallpox and diph-
iberia, but from all other contagious
diseases. He also referred to the fact
that Assistant Sanitary OHicer u. V.
Lewis has been compelled to stop no
less than six public funerals during
February of persons who had died
from infectious diseases,
The members of the board present
appointed DR.. Allen and DR.. Rudham
as a special committee to draw up a
rule compelling the intermcnt of all
such bodies as above mentioned within
thirty-six hours. As the rule will have
to be approved by the board and as it
was deemed advisable to have 1t go
into effect as soon as possible, the COM
mittee was empowered to call a spe-
cial meeting of the board to act upon
the matter.
DR. Allen in his repOrt announced
that there had been thirtY-one COM
plants made during the month"; and
that twenty-cight nuisances had been
abated. Sanitary Officer Burke had
made thirty-one tours of inspection,
and siXty-fivc rooms had been disn-
fected by his assistant, Il. V. Lewis.

The board Of health ut its regular
monthly meeting held last night at the.
suggestion of Health officer Allen, took
up the question of compelling the in
terment within thirty-siN hours after
death of the bodies of all persons dying
from contagious diseases, and Il spe-
cial committee was appointed to draw
up and submit to the board a rule
providing for such interment.
DR. Allen i'm his report for the month
called the attention of the board to the
necessity for such action. In many
cases, he said, the bodies of persons
dying from scarlet fever ana diphtherla
We're kept in the house for three and
four days, and were u constant menace

throughout the country to insist upon

mediately after death.
In his opinion, scarlet fever is equal

ion of the vast majority of people to
the contrary Notwithstanding. Take

ENGLAND CANNOT
LONG DELAY PEACE
South African War Must Soon
Be Terminated
MOST SOLEMN WARNING

Unless Peace Is Made Before Spring 1t
Is Predicted That Serious Complica-
2 tions VIII Confront Great Britain
and Europe.
NEW YORK, July 27.-Following the
information cabled that rumors of an
important step toward enforcing peace
between England and the Beers had
pervaded the house of commons for sew
eral days came a speech by Gibson
Bowles, a Conservative, that caused a
profound sensation, says the London
correspondent of The World.
Mr.. Bowles gave the government sol
emn warning that unless peace was
made in South Africa before spring ex.
vemely grave complications would con-
front England and Europe.
The speaker declared further that he
knew that negotiations had been pro.
ceedlng on the continent during the
past six months and were still active
with the object of inducing or enforcing
peace.
In view of these conditions he said
England could not persist in outraging
the feelings of the great powers without
paying heavy penalty.
A ministerial contradiction of the
statements made by Mr.. Bowles was
looked for but none came.
Upon inquiry i'll the lobby of the au.
thor of the warning, a World CORE
spondent learned that Mr.. Bowles who,
though Conservative, is somewhat dis.
affected and more or less antagonistic
to the ministry, referred in his speech
to movement set on foot by Premier
DeKuyper of Holland, aided by Queen
Wtlhelmina, by which he had succeed.
ed in interesting the emperor of Ger
many and the czar of Russia so far that
their negotiations were fast approach.
ing point where England could no
longer safely ignore them.
Edmund Robertson, member of the
recent Liberal parliament, corroborated
what Mr.. Bowles had said, and declared
that he spoke from his own knowledge
of the situation.
These public utt""ances, uncOntra-
dicted by the govern 4uent, taken in con.
junction with President Kruger's re-
turn to The Hague, and with the re.
pedIeu journeys OF Mr. LeydS, dlplO-
matic agent of the South African re.
publics in Europe, between Berlin,
Brussels, The Hague and Paris recently,
point to important developments at an
early date.
AS previously cabled, it is said that
the kaiser is to assume the role of peace
maker, having been empowered by Kru-
ger to act for the Beers; that the kaiser
is willing to take the initiative in order
to popularize his relations with the
German people, who disapprove of his
friendship for Great Britain.

The Secret

Of woman1y health would be esteemed
as priceless by thousands of suffering
women. Each month sees them moan
ing in darkened room. AT the best
they endure pain every day. At the
worst the pain becomes torment.
The secret of woman1y health is in
keeping the womanly organism in per-
fectly healthy state. This can be done
by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1t regulates the periods, dries
.debilitating drains, heals Inflammation
and liberation, and cures female weak
ness. 1t makes weak women strong and
sick women we'll.
Women suffering from chronic forms
of disease are invited to consult DIR.
Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond
ence is held as sacred1y confidential and
womanly condolences are guarded by
strict professional privacy. Address DIR.
R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N Y.
Accept no substitute for DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription There is moth
ing else "just as good" for womanly

'I suffered for more than ten years with

Mrs. d. Marwood, of Treherne, Macdonald Co.,
Manitoba. "I used DIR. PierCes FaVorite Pre-
scrlption and Golden Medical Discovery with
good results. l am able to do all my own work
now. do not know how to thank you enough
for the kind advice you have sent me by letter.
Your remedies did for me more than all other
doctors medicines, and I have taken lots of
them"

THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION.
Again Subject of Debate In Alabama
Convention at Montgomery.

Again Subject of Debate In Alabama
Convention at Montgomery.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, July u. - Mr..
Spears of St. Clair resumed his speech
against the suffrage clause when the
convention opened this morning. In
further reply to Mr.. Graham of Talla-
dega he said the majority of the negroes
paid their taxes, their debts and obeyed
the law Three -fifUhs of the agricul.
tural labor of the state is done by me-
groes. He COntended that they should
have some voice i'll the making of laws
and saying who shall govern. COntin-
uing he said:
"Ihere are 800, 900 negroes in this state.
Do we want TO make enemies of these
people? What becomes our states doc.
trines? Do we want TO teach 1000
of these people to look to Washington
for protection and justice rather than
Montgomery? AS to the grandfather
clause he said it was not premeditated
fraud, bUG a mere miserable makeshift.
He stood with jefferson, jackson and
Lincoln, immortal spirits, who stood for
popular liberties and rights of people. :"
Mr.. Watts of Montgomery then spoke
for the majority report. He alluded to
the differences in the attitudes of the
minority-some taking one ground and
some another. He found Spears and
Lowe joined i'll accusing the black belt
of the purpose to commit fraud under
the registration scheme "This COM
mlttee was composed of the best men in
Alabama. The majority does not object
to the registration plan. The plan Of
our fathers was to deny the negro both
civil and political rights. We do not
deny, and have never denied since the
war, and do not now propose to ny
the negro any of his civil rights in la

ship Maine, designed to be bigger,
stronger and faster than her namesake,

her cradle.
Kensington, wherein the ship was
located, took a holiday and attended the
launch. Thousands of persons from 9TH

after the yard was thrown open to the
public every vantage point in the con-
fines OF the place swarmed with human
lty The weather was beautiful.

resented by Governor Hill and mem
bers of his staff. From Washington
came Rear Admirals Bradford, Melville
and Walker. Lieutenant Commander
Bailey, Captain Leary, former governor
Of Guam, and a number of bureau
chiefs of the navy department..
President Mckinley, Secretary of the
Navy Long, Admiral Dewey, Captain
Sigsbee and other naval dignitaries who
received invitations were unable to at
tend.
The ceremony of christening the ship
was performed by Miss Mary Preble
Anderson of Portland, Me-, descend
ant of the Preble family that has added
fame to the naval honors of the coun.
try. All was in readiness as Miss An
derson stepped upon the stand erected
at the bow of the hull. AS the last tim.
Der that held the ship was sawed in
twain and the vessel began to move
Miss Anderson struck the bow of the
Maine blow with a bottle of cham
pagne and formally christened her.
AS the vessel slid off the ways a great
shout went up and every steam craft in
the vicinity began the footing of whis-
ties.
The Names keel was laid in April,
1899, and the ship will be ready for
transfer to the government in Is months
or two years.

the shore and on the pier at Gourock
and greeted the yachts with great out.
Dursts of cheering again and again re.
newed. Hats and handkerchiefs were
waved, guns saluted and steam whistles
shrieked. The Shamrock's crew were
all mustered on deck and, led by Sir
Thomas, gave hearty response to the
greetings. For miles along the shore
the crowds occupied every vantage point
and the cheers passed from group to
group until the challenger, with her
racing flag at the masthead, and the
Erin with the stars and stripes flying at
her fore, disappeared from sight.
Sir Thomas Upton remained aboard
che challenger until she was off Cum
braes, when he returned on tug. Be.
