WE believe the county primary
should be held in August or Septem'
Der. The roads are better at that
time, and the farmers are in better
shape to entertain those who are can
wasting the county. March and April
are poor months TO travel over the
county, and the farmers during that
time are unusually busy. We believe
in the future that all concerned vii

CASE OF CHICKEN Pox.
Investigated by DR.. Paine Yesterday
Morning,

DR.. Saltry reported Il suspicious case
of chicken-poX to the bureau of health
yesterday. and DIR. Paine investigated
and found the diagnosis to be correct.
1t was the case of 2-year-old boy
named William Grinshock. at S2G Glib
son street. No serious apprehension Is
felt over the case. The quarantine on
the Allspaugh house, on North Brom-
ley avenue, was raised yesterday and
the guards dismissed.
The quarantine remains in force on
all the other infected houses until
further notice,
The wife of Ensign Lcntz, of tie SAL
walton Army, who has been suffering
from small pox, is sufficiently rccov-
cred 10 permit of the raising of the
quarantine the latter part of this week.
Councilman Evan Evans is improv-
ing slowly and will recover. Mrs. James
Brace is "holding her own" the doctor
says. Both Mr., and Mrs. William j,
Morgan are up and around the house.
The Parry and Brace children are also
up and around the house.
The case of Musician Vinol is clear
case of smallpox, DR.. Paine says, but
its source has not yet been located.

WELL DRESSED BEGGARs.
Pair of Clever Men Have Imposed
OH Local Clergymen.

Rev Dr. Rogers Israel last night at
the meeting of the associated charities
told OF two polite and educated pam
handlers who waited upon him recently
ana from statements made by Mrs.
W. Il. Duggan it would appear as if the
Fair has succeeded in victimizing a
number Of local clergymen.
The two men We're under the influ-
ence of liquor when they waited upon
the doctor. They We're rather we'll
dressed and appeared to be well edu-
Gated. They presented Il letter of
recommendation from Rt Rev. Bishop
Mackay-Smith, of Washington, D. c.,
and ono OF the pair represented him
self as tie nephew of the bishop of
Edinburgh. They told plausible story
Of bad luck but when the doctor showed
no signs of interest they merely made
& request for weeks lodging.
The doctor informed them that he
would have nothing to do with them
aud Inquired if they thought he didn't
know they had been drinking.
We should be undertaking your in
tcligance if we didn't think So" re-
piled the more talkative of the two,
bowling profoundly. The two then left

Mrs. Duggan said that she had heard
that one of the priests at the cathedral
had been worked for So by one of the
same men and that other clergymen
had a.so been victimiZed. The where
'abouts of the pair at present are un-
known.
Mrs. Duggan reported the case Of the
seven children of a man named Com
stock living on Williams street. The
seven children are all under fourteen
years Of age and according to Mrs
Duggan are woefully neglected. The
disposition of this case was left tc
Mrs. Duggan and former Judge II. A
Knapp as was also the disposition OF
several ether cases in which legal diff
culties have been encountered.

A SUPERIOR PRODUCTION.
Letter to Manager Duffy About "The
Bonnie Brier Bush"

Manager A. j. Duffy, of the Lyceum,
has received the following letter from
Henry r. Dixie manager of Rorick's
Glen Park, Elmira, n. Y, with refer
ence to j. H. Stoddard's work in THE
Bonnie Brier Bush:
scranton Penn, Feb. l., 1909.
Mr. A. J. Duffy, Lyceun Theater, Scranton, Penn.
My Dear Nj. Duffy Perhaps il is unnecessary
for me to write you OF the quality Of the per-
Torrance given by MIR. j. IL, Stad,lard and his
company in the play, '"rhe Bonnie BIcr Bvsl,"
but having seen it in several cities | feel that
the Scranton public ought 10 be impressed with
the superiority OF this production.
1t so often happens in our business that the
public miss treat from the fact OF not being
in touch with the attraction, that US brother
manager l would like 10 say to you that you
cannot speak in too much praise OF this play and
company,
Mr.. j. H. Stoddard. as all professionals know,
is one OF the greatest character actors alive To-
day. His performance in ''The Bonnie Brel
Bush" the acting Of the company, the scenery
and the general atmosphere of the play is such
that no lover OF the beautiful in the dramatic
art, should miss.
Pardon me this liberty but | think such per-
Torrance tends 10 elevate the Stage and the story
breaches a sermon stronger than any pulpit has
ever given, | am
Yours very truly,
Henry T. Dixie.

In the text of the report the follow

nier," THE new law ono. CID and the

several improvements made IN ana
ABOUND the mines in 1901"
1t Is remarked that the increase In
the number of fatalities from cars
outside is very prominent. The work
of handling cars outside the mine is
attended with as little danger as any
work to be performed about mine.
On account of the safety of the WORK
too little care has been exercised by
the superintendents and foremen in
the selection of competent men to do
the work with care.
Bearing on the accidents from falls
of roof and coal the inspector says the
necessary examination of the roof be-
fore starting to work, and also after
each and every blast, are either not
made with sufficient care or the indl-
cations obtained by such examinations
are not properly needed and obeyed.
The practice of rushing to replace
timber which has been discharged by
ilying coal from blasts, is strongly
condemned. Sufficient time for such
rock as will fall after the displace-
ment of the supporting timber should
in all cases be allowed
Five persons were killed and twenty
seriously injured by explosion of blasts
The firing of two blasts in the one
place or even in adjoining places nj
the same time is attended with much
danger and as usual a number OF
casualties have occurred, owing to tbs
victims thinking the blast once fired
having missed. A number OF cases OF
insufficient care of powder and high
explosives are on record.
ADVICE TO FOREMEN.
In the matter of accidents from cars
inside the superintendent and foremer
are urged to maintain as much clear

space on both sides of underground
roads as possible, and to strictly en-
force rule which will put a stop to
the dangerous nractlce of riding on
the bumpers of moving cars inside.
In connection with accidents from
explosions of gas, 1t Is said that too
little attention Is paid to the manner
in which doorboys stay at their work.
Doors have been neglected, and the air
current diverted from important points
allowing accumulation of gaseous mix
lures to take place, to be followed by
an explosion.
Superintendents are requested not to
allow unlimited latitude to contractors
doing rock work, in the matter uf
charges. This suggestion refers to
such contracts as are being executed
in fielS mines i'm operation. The joint
cooperation of officials and working
men are invited to guard against ac-
cdents.
The suggestion made in the report
for 1897, which provides for the safe
removal of all persons working inside,
| in case of a disastrous fire in the
| breaker located over the shaft is re-
peated and emphasized.
The general condition OF the mines
as to the safety of the workmen is
| reported to be such as will compare
favorably with their condition at the
time the report for 1900 was written.
The operators are respecting the pro-
visions of the new law (212), which
came into force November 20 last. and
which provides for hospital or medl-
cal room inside of the mine for the care
| of those who are injured.
The voluntary practice of placing
carriage heaters in the ambulances
used to convey the injured from the
mines to their homes or to the hos
| pital, which was started by e. T..
Loomis, of the Delaware, Lackawannn
and Western Railroad company, is
much appreciated, and is being fol-
lowed by other companies.
The improvements for the year just
closed are more important than usual
The several foremen and those whose
duty it is to report accidents to the
| mine inspector, are urgently requested
to report the same as required on the
blanks furnished, and according to Sec
1, Art. XIV, Anthracite Mine Law 1891

THOSE INSURANCE RATES.
Middle Department Board Considered
TaAem Yesterday.

The board OF fire underwriters for the
middle department met yesterday in
Philadelphia. and IT. is understood that
the question of insurance rates in this
city was discussed though no local in
surance man could be found who had
heard any word from the meeting.
The report of the committee which
recently investigated conditions in this
city was to have been presented and
some action taken looking towards the
establishment of a permanent rate fol
this city. That the pink slip is bound
to come Is the general belief. but
whether the rate to be fixed will be
equal to the rate now in force with the
pink slip on is question.

A force of men from the department
of public works were engaged yester-
day in digging out the cutters in the
central part of the city ON nearly all
the principal corners. The ice in some
places was nearly foot thick.
