Bernard Kelly, who was appointed to

at night In fact it is an ideal climate
The death rate has been very light
only one death within six months. and
only four men suffering from climatic
conditions at present. We have a fine
ice plant and have fresh meat twice a
week.

the post has shown decided improve

credit, for by his untiring zeal he has
established a post reading room, library
and chapel. and holds church services
twice a week. and song services through
the week. For long time before his
coming we felt greatly the need of the
moral development of a mans character.
We had no church, no meetings. and IN
fact no place to pass our evenings, and
post life was getting monotonous. Since
ms coming we have books, all late mag
azines, Periodicals. and all the latest
news obtainabie from the states. 1t l3

OIL FUMES A NUISANCE.
Owners of a Refinery Fined 500 in
Important Test Case.

Marcus Hook, Pa, Oct. 2S.-A case of
litigation which. if todays decision in the
initial proceedings is sustained by the
higher courts. will become of national
interest and import, was disposed of here
by Burgess Golf. He fines the Sun Oil
company, Texas petroleum rival of the
Standard, s1G0 for maintaining a nuisance
in the fumes emitted from its refinery.
Proof had been taken that these fumes
were not only noxious, but that they were
grievously injurious to persons breathing
them.
The company will appeal, and the ulti-
mate decision may become a precedent
applicable to all oil refneries in Pennsyl-
vania.
multiplication of such fines would, of
course, close any oil refinery contiguous to
a densely populated region and would ser
iously menace such oil works as those
which. at Point Breeze, frequently fill all
the downtown districts of Philadelphia
with their fumes.
