Typhoid Fever.

referring to an article in the
Citizen of July 23rd in which it
is claimed that there is an unusual
number of typhoid fever cases,
lack of health precautions and
neglect of duty on the part of the
health officer The facts are as
follows; Investigation by personal
interview with all physicians in
the city reveals the fact that at
this date, July 3lst, we have but
tive cases of typhoid fever, and
that this number has not been
exceeded at any time this season,
so that instead of an increase in
alarm. we have cause for con
gratulatlons
This refutation is prompted by
the fact that the article in the
Citizen has come to the secretary
Of the state board of health, who
has written to the local health
officers to know if we have an
epidemic of typhoid fever here.
Such false statements as to the
sanitary and health condition of
place are likely to do much harm,
and their publication in a news
paper of general circulation should
receive the severest condemnation
of all right thinking people.
The sanitary conditions of the
city are none the worse for the
temporary disability of the health
officer He is able to, and is doing
his duty fully and completely so
far as the means at his command
will permit
Very respectfully,
L I'll. PAXTON,
Health Officer

BEST SOCIAL EVENT
IN C|TY'S HISTORY
Eiks Anniversary BaHsnd Recep-
fiOn Brilliant Success.
BEST PEOPLE ON EARTH

Long years ago the Elks estab-
lished a reputation for doing
things just as they should be done,
and ever since every lodge of the
order has made it a point to live
up to the established standard
Whenever the Elks give ball,
street fair or other public enter
tainment, it's success is assured
from the minute of its announce
ment.
The ball and reception given by
the local lodge OF Elks last night,
to celebrate its first anniversary,
proved no exception to the rule,
for without question it was the
biggest and most successful social
function that ever occurred in the
city OF Florence. At least 300
people accepted the invitation and
We're present to enjoy the even
ing's festivities. At Morgan hall
hundred couples danced to the
strains of Prof Buttrick's orohes-
ira. Nearly all the men were in
full dress and the ladies present
We'd with each other in the matter
of modish gowns Punch was
served in the ball room through
out the evening
The Elks lodge and club rooms
presented brilliant aud most
pleasing appearance to the guests
Decorated throughout with pro
fusion of ribbons OF red. white
and blue, and the purple and white
of the order, palms and limitless
abundance of cut flowers, it show
ed that the com mittee having that
part of the matter in charge was
possessed of fine sense of the
decorative art Here there was
music throughout the evening, and
the card tables were kept busy by
those who didn't care for the
dreamy, may waltz Two i'm
mense bowls were kept filed with
sparkling, eXhilerating champagne
punch, and the guests demonstrat
ed that they know good thing
when they see it, And by the way
connoisseurs SAID that finer
beverage never passed their lips
Petite sandwiches, delicate cakes,
nuts and contectlons were also
served in abundance, and altogeth-
er the collation. was received with
many compliments,
To those Elks who were directly
responsible for the success of the
entertainment. great credit is due
They worked liked Trojans, and
fully merit all the praise given
them. They demonstrated that it
is possible for Florence to 90 the
limit in swell entertainments. and
more people than ever are convinc-
ed of the fact that the Elks are the

and his precepts and admonitions fol-
lowed with distinct advantage. Though
never of robust health, his figure being
always rather slight and his complex
ion pale. he was an indefatigabie
worker, and during his long official
station at the Episcopal residence in
this city an immense amount of bus
mess passed through his hands. But
his arduous duties sat lightly upon
HIM and his wide experience, calm
Judgment and deep learning amply
equipped him for an Office difficult to
fill and trying in its endless labors.
Outside the duties of his high Church
Offices Mgr. Sullivan was a most COM
panionable gentleman. He had a warm
welcome and a CHEEKY smile for every
friend and acQuaintance-eyen for the
stranger-and his popularity was thus
greatly accentuated and his influence
for good ~brOadened until it not only
pervaded the entire community in
which he resided. but also, to a great
degree, permeated the entire diocese.
His retirement from active work and
m~inistration was thus widely regretted,
and during his last illness there was
a strong manifestation of personal in
terest in his welfare and many hopes
for his ultimate recovery. Now that
he has gone to that reward that awaits
those doing good deeds in the body,
there will be widespread and sincere
regret among Catholics and non-Cath-
olics alike, for Mgr. Sullivan's friends
and admirers were by nc means limit
ed by either sect or creed.

Rt. Rev. Mgr. John T. Sullivan, rector
of the church of the Sacred Heart, at
Charleston, died ait st. Joseph's hospi-
tai, in this city, at 1:20 O'Clock this af-
ternocn after an illness of considera-

Rt. Rev. Monsignor John T. Sulli-
a was born in ireland in 1884. and
was brought to this country by his par
ents while yet an infant. When well
advanced toward manhood, he began
his studies at Georgetown, District Of
Columbia. and took a collegiate course
at st. Charles College, nea Baltimore.
Later he completed his studies in phil
osophy and divinity, and finally enter
ed the priesthood at st. Mary's Univer-
sity, Baltimore. Completing his educa-
ton, he came to Wheeling, and was Or
dained at the cathedral in this city
April %, 1853. shortl.. after his ordi-
nation he was made rector of the
Wheeling cathedral, which position he
held for more than thirty years. In
1869 the late RI. Rev. Bishop Whelan
appointed Father Sullivan vicar gener-
al of the diocese Of WEST Virginia, and
upon the accession of TT. Rev. Bishop
Kahn he was re-appointed. His silver
jubilee was celebrated with much
po1ap and circumstance in 1888, upon
which occasion Father Sulli an was
notified of his appointment as private
chamberlain of the Holy Father, and
in 1885 he was promoted to the rank
of Domestic Prelate. with the title of
Monsignor.
With the promotion of Rt. Rev. Bish-
OPP Kahn, to be coadjutor Bishop of
the diocese of st. Louis, Mgr. Sulli-
vans occupacy of the Office of vicar
general lapsed, and increasing years
and i'll health constrained him to go
