must be systematic, not spasmodic. She
must break up the accustomed routine
Of her work, though she need not give
up all work. She must do all things
moderately. She must rise late and re-
tire early. It is quite possible Tor
housewives who are on the verge OF
nervous prostration 60 change their
mode of life without giving up their
work completely TO avert such danger

SIX CASES OF SMALLPOX
DR.. Converse Urges Citizens to
Be Vaccinated.

Four additional sufferers from smallpox
were received at the Snake Hill pesthouse
yesterday afternoon, making six now
being cared for at the temporary hispital
tent erected on the old farm not far from
the entrance to the county grounds. The
latest patients were middle-aged man,
his sister and her two children, who re-
sided on Van Wrinkle street near James
avenue. The man was employed in East
Newark, where the disease was prevalent
and 1T is presumed that he caught it
there and carried the germs to his home.
The County Physician urges every per-
son TO be yaccinated as the only preven-
tive OF the dread disease. In his experi-
ence OF over a quarter of century in his
present office he says he has never known
a case of smallpox to result fatally whers
the person had been vaccinated within
seven years of the time of contracting the
disease
Work on the new pest house, which is
being erected on the site of the old
building, is being pushed rapidly, and it
is expected that it will be ready for oceu-
paney by the first of the new year TIE

on and mechanics are now busy at work

modern hospital in every respect. It's

The United States District Court in
Brooklyn yesterday made an order re-
straining the Commercial Trust Company
of this city from paying to Robert A.
Ammon, his wife, Winifred f. Ammon; /;
his brother, Walter E. Ammon; William
IF. Miller, or the Franklin Syndicate, any
part of $4,000 which 1t is claimed is de-
posted in the bank in the name of Walter
E. Amnon of this city. The order was
obtained by Samuel T. Flash, counsel for
the creditors of the defunct Miller Syn
dicate of Brooklyn.
Mr.. Flash alleges that he took this ac-
tion after he had learned that Walter h.
Ammon, resident of this city, was q
trustee in the trust company. and that
d few days before the Franklin Syndicate
was closed up by the police a deposit of
$50 600 was made in the Commercial Trust
Company by Walter E. Ammon. who had
secured stocks, bonds and cash represent
ing that amount from William F. Miller
just before Miller fed to Canada.

HIGH SCHOOL PETITION
Club Women Determined to
Procure New Building
IF Possible.

Tie club women have gone to work with
a will and already a new High School
looms up. At meeting Of the Woman's

cussion on Higher Education" was held,
the women decided that not OILY was the
present building a disgrace to the city,

in order to procure better educational
facilities. Not only was The present
building, according to the club women, in-
adequate in every respect, but its environ
ment was something awful.
In consequence of the above discussl IN
resolutions were passed and committee
appointed to draw up petition for a new
High School.
After two or three conferences, the COM
mittee has arranged a petition which is
to be placed before the public at once, and
will probably be the first of its kind to
greet the new Mayor when he takes office
in January. Copies of the petition are to

RUMORS ABOUT SEWELL

ASHEvILLE. N. c., Nov. 81, 1sO1-Ths
report yesterday that Senator Sewe1l. OF
New Jersey, who had been here the past
two months for his health, was not gain
ing as much as he hoped for, and had
left the Battery Park Hotel for the Win
yah, sanitarium for tubercular patients,
has no foundation, as Senator Sewell was
at Battery Park last night and will re-
main there. He has very nice rooms and
everything is done for his comfort, while
the report that he had gone to q sani-
tarium tends to mislead his friends and
do him an injustice.
The fact that he is at least holding his
own is encouraging to his friends. An
other hopeful feature is that he can now
eat with some relish, which he could not
do when he left home. 1t can be very
safely stated that he will not resign his
seat. Clerk in Chancery Edward G.
Stokes, who is here for a short vacation,
when seen last night said Senator Seweirs
condition seemed quite hopeful TO him.
Although General Sewell did not get out
yesterday there was no change and ne

WANT TO CROSS At GRADE
Cruoible Steel Company Needs
Tracks for Its Work.

It is understood that the local branch
of the American Crucible Steel Companys
located at West Bergen, will petition the
Street and Water Board to pass an ordi-
nance allowing the company to build
tracks across Mallory avenue at grade.
1t was conjectured that the company pur-
posed seizing the right of way about a
month ago. but Capt. McKaig and force
Of patrolmen frustrated the plans. Since
then an officer has been on duty there
night and day to stop any movements to
acquire rights over the street.
The company is engaged in building a
dozen new structures which are to be the
principal plant of the concern. These
buildings cover five acres of ground and
are near the Hackensack River. When
they are completed employment will be
furnished to 1000 men.
The company wants the right to cross
Mallory avenue for the purpose of trans
porting building materials to the new
plants. The tracks have been built up to
the street on both sides. The spur runs
out from the Newark branch of the Cen
tral Railroad.
The Mayor visited the scene a few days
ago to look over the situation in order 10
familiarize himself with the matter. He
expressed no opinion.
AS far as can be learned there is no
opposition to the plan of the company
to establish grade crossing. Not pro-
teet has been filed against the building
of the tracks. The neighborhood is not
frequented much nor is It ever likely to
be and the danger of accidents is very
slight

Friends had found her in her house, in
which she. has a third interest No friends
have ben to see her and Warden Os-
borne says he must send her to the aims
house. Poormaster Hewitt says he won't
send her because she owns property. This
property is said to be covered with mort
cages.
The woman says she has two sisters
living in Yonkers and Philadelphia, but
she refuses to acquaint them with her
condition. Both married we'll, she said,
and she does not wish themS to learn
about her.

it would be best to send her to the poor
house. The house at Lake street is
worth $1,000.
