INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 6-The

declares that the MillvilIe and Vineland

Yesterday she paraded in front of the

Mild Cases of Scarlet Fever at Mary

BALTIMORE, April 6-PresideRt r. NJ
Silvester,@ of the Maryland Agricultural
College, says:
The published accounts of scarlet fever
at the college are so exaggerated that in
justice to patrons already alarmed l feel
called upon to make the following state
ment of facts: Cadets Whiteford and
Hopkins are under treatment for slight
cases of scarlet fever. Yesterday the
trained nurse, under Or. w. 0. Diversified,
attending the patients. informed me that
their temperature was >poTmal Cadet
Jones left with the student body and this
is the first notice We have had of his hav-
ing or having had scarlet fever. Cadet
Broch is not under treatment for scarlet
fever. He recently recovered from an at
tack of the measles.
There is a room in one end of the
building with an adjoining nurses room,
where all suspects are at once confined.
Cadets Whteford and Hopkins are here
located today and not in their rooms. Ne
gotiations for formaldehyde generators
have been commenced, and when put in
operation all danger Of further spread of
the disease will be over and active work
can be commenced, without any risk.
1t is no doubt gratifying to patrons
and friends of the college to know that a
separate building for a hospital is to be
erected during the approaching summer" ."

NAVAL ACADEMY EXTENSION.
Difference of Opinion rs to Paving
and Maintaining Streets

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 6-Corres-
pondence between Superintendent Vain
wright. OF the Naval Academy, and May
OF Seidewitz. Of Annapolis. has been ex-
changed in reference to the terms upon
which the city viii convey to the Federal
Government the street beds within the
proposed extension of the Naval Academy
grounds.
The principal point of difference be-
tween the Naval Academy authorities
and the city committee, composed of
Mayor Seidewitz, Counselor Moss, and
Alderman Flood. is the paving of street
beds adjacent to the Naval Academy
Some of the suggestions of the city are
approved. In connection with the paving
Commander Wainwright said:
The Government cannot maintain the
paving Of the street, this being a condi-
tion not heretofore imposed and not re-
quired Of abutting property owners The
Government viii, however. maintain the
sidewalks. as has heretofore been requir-
cd, and which is in accordance with the
municipal regulations requiring abutting
property owners to maintain the side
walks
The only important point of difference
between the Naval Academy authorities
and the city committee is the mante-
nance Of the street pavements. The city
committee fears that. owing to the large
amount Of city assessable property to be
taken by the Naval Academy and that
already taken by. the United States and
state governments. the taxable basis Of
the city VIII be so reduced that the main
tenance Of streets will be very burden
some to the taxpayers.
in the case Of King George Street ex-
tended. which has been paved with vitri-
h,d brick by the United States Govern
ment, the maintenance and repair of the
street bed will be specially burdensorne
10 the taxpayers Of Annapolis. as the
street is but little used by citizens OF
Annapolis while it is of special advant-
age To the residents Of the Third dis
trict. Tho city has always borne the bur
den of cleaning streets adjacent to State
or United States property.

Some time ago two hulking hoboes
who had just dismounted from q Cen.
trail freight train asked Yonkers man
for loan Of 10 cents to secure some
food. He took them to a restaurant
and promised to provide them with
work as soon as they had finished eat
ing. When they reported for work, he
said: Boys, my cellars full Of water
and l want you to pump it out. I've
fixed these hand pumps right here on
the sidewalk. Never mind the people
When they come along and ask ques.
tons, just you say nothing, but pump
till the waters out of the cellar. Keep
cool. Don't hurry, but pump, and !
will pay you WELL"
Now, tributary to the Nepperhan
river ran through this mans store eel
lar and out under the sidewalk, and the
pumps reached down into the river.
The water pumped out by the hoboes
ran into the sewer and back into the
Nepperhan, but rs the sidewalk was
tightly tagged the bumpers didn't
know the size of their job.
The street became damned with spec
tators, who roared with merriment as
they watched the hoboes. All but the
men at the pumps knew what was up.

ST vITUS' DANCE
How One Little Sufferer Was
Permanently Cured.

From the Traveller. Arkansas CITY, Kan.
Rapid as has been the advance of
medical science along many lines, it is
only in recent years that remedy has
been discovered for one of the most
dreadful of nervous diseases that affiict
children-St. Vitus' dance.
This and other nervous disorders that
cause the pale and wan faces and
peevish, irritable dispositions of so
many children can now be scientifically
treated by remedy that strikes at the
root of the disease by renewing the
impoverished blood and strengthening
the nerves.
Words of commentator for this
remedy come from all parts of the
civilized world. This is the interesting
story told by Mr.. and Mrs. Christopher
Armstrong, of Jefferson, Okla:
"Our youngest daughter was for
three years afflicted with st. Vitus'
dance, and we almost despaired of find
ing relief in medical treatment. She
was so helpless that she had to be fed
and would fall over at times and be I'M
able to rise.
eve had heard and read great deal
about DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pule
People, and, as last resort. determined
to try them. The effect was almost

was a noticeable improvement. Alto

and by the time she was thirteen years
of age, was strong and healthy, weigh

Chocolate.

In South America the retail price for
the better grades Of chocolate averages
about 81 a pound, while in Italy,
France, England and in the United
States the better grades sell at much
lower price. In America the ordinary
chocolate of trade sells for about one
third Of the price that is charged for it
where 1t Is produced. The cause of
this, the producers say, is that the
original product is adulterated greatly
before reaching its final market, q
cheaper article than the cocoa bean
constituting the large proportion of 80
per cent of the chocolates of commerce.
The cocoa bean from which chocolate
is manufactured is produced in its fin
est form In Venezuela, though various
other parts Of Central and South Amer
lea grow and export large quantities.
Two crops of the bean are gathered
each year, and the manufacture con-
sists simply in grinding up the beans
into meal and then adding sugar and
arrowroot, with the necessary flavor,
usually vanilla or cinnamon. The mass
is moistened until it is in a semifluid
state, after which 1t is run into molds
Of the proper shape.
