No Now Cases and No FeaI
Among the PeOp'e.

Small poX would soon be stamp>
ed out If every commmity where
1t breaks out would do as Lancas
ter has DONE, Five years ago
when the-alisease appeared in
some Of our neighboring towns
vaccination was made compulsory
here and white and black were
vaccinated. The first and only
case in the town developed ten
days ago. The party has been
quRrantlned in his home anj will
be until all danger of communica,
ting the disease has passed. Vac
cInatlon of the town was ordered
and four days have elapsed since
The physicians completed the
work. This prompt action on
the part of the auth orities has
doubtless stamped the disease
out here and all fear that it would
spread has subsided. AS a fur
ther precaution to protect the
town and the people of the sur
rounding country who do their
trading here strict quarantine
has been insugurated against the
cotton mill district and vicinity
preventing persons from the mill
district coming into town and any
person from the town going into
the mill district, as will be seen
from an ordinance published in
this issue. Ten guards were
sworn in and all avenues to the
mill district are kept guarded. So
much for what the town has done
and is doing.
At the cotton mill, as stated in
our last issue, DR.. Mackey was
put in charge by the State board
of health. He began at once
with vaccination and the entire
population there except thirty
persons, had been vaccinated up
to Thursday afternoon. The dis
ease has been kept confined to the
houses in which it had appeared
before our last issue no new cas-
es appearing. The mill authori-
ties will keep strictly quarantlned
all houses in which there is small
pox until the danger of communi>
eating 1t is past and will use every
other precaution.
And now a word to the pan
loky. The editor of The Ledger
always endeavors to bo homes {
with its readers. When case
of smallpox broke out in Lancas
ter we did not suppress the fact.
We published it at once. We
felt it our duty to put the people
on guard, for then they would
use precaution and the chances of
its spreading would be miminized
and such has been the case. The
people of the country remained
at home until they could feel as.
sured they would not come in
contact with persons infected with
the disease. Now, that strict qua
rantlne is maintained, vaccination
has been enforced and every
other precaution taken, the peo-
pie Of the country feel with the
people of the town that the danger
is over and that the disease has
been nipped in the bud. That is
our way of thinking. If we thou
ght otherwise we would say so,
for dollars and cents do not
weigh with us when placed in the
balance with danger to human life.

FORCIBLE RECRUITING AT CARACAS.
The Rebel Generals Mates and Mem dOza Reported to Have Joined Forces Fifty Miles From
 the Capital. ....~

WILIEMSTAD, Curacao, Oct. B. News has reached here from Venezu- ela that the Venezuelan revolutionary forces under General Matos have ef fected junction with the command of the revolutionary general Kuciano Mendoza near Camatagua, in the state of Miranda, fifty miles south of Cara cas. The combined forces of Generals Mates and Mendoza now total $500 men.
 Last Wednesday the revolutionists were at San Juan de los Moros, near Villa de Cura. At this point the gov ernment forces under President Cas- tro, amounting to 4,O0O men, retreated precipitately before the vanguard of the revolutionists. There have been many assertions from Castros army.
 President Castro is now at Los Teques, very strong strategical posi- tion but few hours ride from Caracas and which is considered nearly impreg- nable. He is awaiting attack by the revolutionists.
 During the past three days the gov ernment has been forcibly recruiting for the army day and night on the streets of Caracas. When some of the men thus gathered in attempted to es- cape, being in favor of the Matos rev olution, the recruiting parties fired on them.
 Provisions in Caracas are scarce, and meat is worth 30 cents pound.
 The government intends to attack the revolutionists at Barcelona next S11ndaV with E00 mon 71pdor GoporoI Velutini. ,~&
 Another revolutionary army under General Rolando is now located at Qua, in the state of Miranda, twenty five miles south of Caracas.

.FoRGET ME NoT.o

The programs read that Jules Mur- ray would present the distinguished artist, Miss Rose Coghlan, in Herman Merivale's great society drama, For get Me Not,' at Polls theater last night. The programs for once erred Distinguished certainly is Miss Cogh- Ian, but as an artist she has passed into the realm of many other good actresses and actors, who have proba- bly been stars in their day. It may be a great society drama, but you would not be convinced of that fact from the production last evening In the first place cold shiver went over the small audience present last evening when the curtain first arose and it was discov- cred that the house scenery was in op- eration once more. A frequenter of the theater has viewed that setting so often for all kinds of plays. good bad and indifferent, that the chill of it's ap- pearance last night was not removed all evening. With Miss Coghlan at the head of company it was expected that the managers of the company would at least h 2 provided one set ting, for that all that was re Quired. Had tl ompanys presenting fle drama been j. clever one things might have been different, but the fact must be told that the cast was not a brilliant one. Miss Coghlan is a robust actress whose voice has not improved with age. She dresses elegantly and appropriately and looks her part of an Adventures to perfection. Her work in the first act is probably her best. Her leading man, Frank Ritchie, was formerly the lead for Katherine Rober. and he does not seem to have improved by advancement. Most of his words were lost to the. spectators and his work, like Miss Coghlan's, was best in the last act. The rest of the company. with the possible exception of Miss Adelaide Eaton CoIton, who played the part of Mrs Foley with success. were Of ordinary ability The presentation last evening as a whole was net one 1Q enthuse over.

MYSTERIES sI(jbBED
Much Disorder Tn the Mining
 Town of Plymouth.
ELEVEN RIOTERS UNDER ARREST
Strong Military Guard I'm Control Coroner Decides Nonunion Man Wound Dead on Car Tracks
 Was Murdered


 WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. 3.-Pres- ident Mitchell of the United Mine Workers, accompanied by District Presidents Nichols, Duffy and Fahy, left here last evening for Washington. MT. Mitchell declined to express any opinion. All he would say was that he hoped for the best The general feeling is, however, that President Roosevelt will succeed in bringing both parties together.
 The mining town of Plymouth, which has been free from any disturbance since the strike began, was the scene of much disorder yesterday. Mobs sur rounded the Sterling and North Ameri- can Washeries, and Sheriff Jacobs, be- ing unable to disperse them, summoned the military. Colonel Loughtery sent three companies of the Ninth regiment to the scene, and they arrested eleven men, charged with rioting. They were brought before Magistrate Pollock of this city, who, after a hearing, held them in $1,0O0 bail each for trial at court.
 A strong guard has been placed over the Washeries to enable them to re sume operations today.
 The washery at the Hollenbeck mine has started up work This was sur- prise to the strikers. Despite the con- ference called to meet at Washington the operators in the Wyoming valley are very aggressive.
 A dispatch from Scranton says:
 "No disorder has been reported for the last twenty-four hours and no claims from either side as to gains or losses to the working forces at the col lieries. All interest is centered in the Washington conference.
 ''It is now almost certain that John Mullen, the nonunion man who was run over by a trolley car at Smithville Wednesday night, was stunned or killed and then placed on the track. His own razor, with blood on the blade, was found near the spot, and no cuts that razor could have made were to be found on the body. It is supposed he was attacked and drew the razor to defend himself. Coroner Berge says positively it was a case of murder.''

There are nearly 100 people in the company and for principals such well known artists as Grace Dudley, w. P Carleton, Helen Redmond, k. E, Graham. Edna Hunter, Donald Brine, Lily Collins, Chris Brune and Mace Bonyille. The chorus has seyenty-fve voices and there is that heart-wrecking aggregation known as the pretty maidens" of the sextette.

Coal High Tn Mexico.

MONTEREY, Mexico, Oct. 3.-Mexi- can railroads are now suffering on ac- count of the increased prices that are being charged for coal, and if the Pennsylvania strike continues it is in- evitable that prices will be further in- creased. Railroad men believe that the great coal strike in the United States will do much to bring about the use of oil as fuel on the Mexican railroads,

George Thatcher and those who are playing with him at the Jacques this week continue to make good the claim advanced by many persohs that this show is the best of the season. It has certainly cost enough to be good, the management declares, and these is no doubt at all that the money is well spent in the view of those who have seen the show. There Is novelty, con- edy, acrobatics, illustrated singing and about every feature that one can inn agine as entering into a we'll balanced vaudeville performance. No one need expect anything but a good time who goes to see this show. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons, 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10. Next week the Elin- ore Sisters.

7. DEWITT TALMAGE DEAD.
Noted Divine Victim OF Brain Trouble
Few Americans Enjoyed His Wide
Popularity.

Washington, April 14.-Rev. T. De-
Witt Talmage, the Presbyterian min
lister, died at nine o'clock Saturday
night at his home in this city. The
immediate cause of death was inflam-
nation of the brain. He was 10 years
old. He was in poor health when he
started from Washington for Mexico
for O vacation and rest six weeks ago,
He was then suffering from influenza
and serious catarrhal conditions.
Since his return to Washington some
time ago he had been quito I'll. Un-
til Thursday, however, fears for his
death were not entertained.
Few American clergymen ever en-
joyed as wide popularity as Rev. I.
Dewitt Talmage. His method Of
treating the topics which he dis
cussed was homely and well-calcu-
lated to appeal to the many rather
than to the few. His magnetism and
Ills habit Of appealing directly to his
hearers gave him hold upon their
hearts such as few preachers have
possessed.
With all of his success in the pull
pit DR.. Talmage was pursued by
singular ill-fortune. Three times the
Brooklyn tabernacle, built through
his efforts when his fame was high
est, was burned to the ground. Each
time the Ere took place on Sunday
and in no case was its cause ever
discovered. After the last fire, which
occurred in 1894, tho congregation
broke up and never was brought to-
gether again In such numbers rs be-
fore.
