But for the prompt action or Engi-
neer Edward Gully. of passenger
train on the Philadelphia and Reading

How BOOKS AT LIBRARY
ARE DJSINFECTED
Precautions Taken to Prevent
Spread Of Diseases
OOkT in Houses ia Which There Is Small,
pOX Are Burned and Not Returned
to Library

During this season, when there are a
few cases of contagious and infectious
diseases in the city, and a great many
scares, application is frequently made
at the Wilmington Institute Free Lii
brary for information as to what pre-
cautions are taken to prevent the
spread of disease through library
books. AS it is likely that some peo-
pie may be deferred from taking books
from this library and others who do
not apply for the information may
wish for it. the following statement is
made:
Every morning. the secretary of the
Board of Health sends list enumerat-
ing all cases of contagious or infec-
tious diseases reported to that board.
At once the following notice. signed
by the librarian. is sent from the Ii
brary to every person so reported:
A contagious disease having been re-
ported at the above premises for the
sake of the public safety you and all
other inmates of the house are hereby
enioined from borrowing books from
the library, or using library books
borrowed by others, so long as the dis
ease lasts. The return of this notice
duly signed by an officer of the Board
of Health, will be accepted as proof that
the premises are free from disease, and
will alone re-entitle you to the privi-
leges of the library
Such library books Gf any as are
already on the premises must not be
returned until fumiTated by the Board
Of Health, and will not be accepted at
the library unless accompanied by this
notice, duly signed by an officer of the
Board of Health. All fines up to day
Of fumigation will be remitted; there
after the regular fine of 2 cents a day
will be enforced.
A copy of the same notice is like
wise sent to the Board of Health.
After the premises are free from dis
ease and everything about the house,
including the library books, have been
properly fumigated. someone connected
with the Board Of Health signs the no.
tice sent to them, thereby declaring
that the library books are now flt to
be returned to the library.
II any Of the library books are at
any houses where there are cases OF
smallpox, these books are not return
ed to the library, but instructions are
given that they shall be burned It
may be remarked in passing that
plenty Of disinfectants are used at the
library for cleansing purposes.

cOrder, was S5.O4l.
The membership ON January 1, 1902.
was 4,8iS, as compared with 1858 on Jan.
nary 1, 1901. The falling of is attributed
to the changing of the plan Of assess

Colonel Rogers, will Not Contest With
OppenheimeT. Who Backed Down

Colonel J. Harry Rogers. Of New Cas-
tie, stopped in this city this morning on
his way to Philadelphia. He transacted
some business there this morning and
this afternon win spend in skating on the
Schuylkill.
When asked if he intended to skate
with Abe Oppenheimer, the Philadelphia
skater, the colonel shook his head vigor.
ously and declared in emphatic term.
that he would not skate on the same piece
Of ice with that man. Then he went on
to say that he never saw a good skater
in Philadelphia, anyhow. If he does not
change his mind, Philadelphians on the
Schuylkill will have an opportunity n
see "a fine Delaware skater, for although
eighty-hve winters have whitened the
colonels head, they have made atone
ment by leaving him as active and happy
as a boy OF twenty.
