Grand Moving Pictures.

The second engagement at the opera
house this year OF the Lyman Howe's
moving pictures last night proved that
when the people find out a good thing
they appreciate IL. There were ten
times as many present as were there for
the first time and the audience was one
OF the most enthusiastic which has left
the house. The pictures shown were
all new from the exhibition OF last
spring and were of the same fine char
acter and nicely. The pictures which
aroused the most enthusiasm were the
coronation OF King Edward, the races
at Henly, II caravan crossing the desert,
winter scenes in Switzerland and caval-
ry parade with the sound OF the horses
going over the pavements. The comic
and magic scenes we're also very fine
and kept the audience In roar. The
pictures are very large and none ever
shown here are as plain and lifelike.
The exhibition Is a real treat and edu-
cation. A return date for next Febru.
ary with entire new scenes was booked
by Manager Potter.-Holyoke Ddily

Don't Pay Funeral Expenses.

The general opinion seems TO be,
now that boroughs and townships in
this county don't have poor funds, that
the county will bury people who are
unfortunate enough to be so poor when
they die that they don't leave money
enough for funeral expenses, but such
is not the case. The law does not
provide funds for that purpose, there
| fore, the county commissioners are not
to be censured for not paying funeral
| expenses out OF county money. In cases
OF that kind the bodies Of the poor un-
fortunates are shipped to the Anatomi-
cal Society in Philadelphia to be
furnished to medical college for the
| dissecting room, and the Society
pays the express charges and $500
for the body. Is that christian
civilization There is question
whether such "a law is constitutional, and
there is one thing certain, and that Is
that the next session Of the Legislature
should take action In this matter and
see that law Is passed TO make pro-
vision for at least cheap and respect
able burial of the bodies of persons who
have no friends or money.
In the case Of the suicide at Reyn-
oldsville the county commissioners, by
advise Of their attorney, decided to pay
the funeral expenses, as there is pos
sibiity that the relatives OF the dead
man may yet be found and that they
will reimburse the county for funeral
expenses.

tive stage They are severe headache,
pain In back, flushed and swollen face,
congested and painful eyes sensitive 10
bright light, coated tongue, no appetite,
and nautia. Any two or three OF the
above symptoms are suspicious.
As the origin OF our cases have been
established, we can relieve some minds
that it has not been In the silk mill. II
has come from outside sources and
carried there, not by any fault Of the
management.
Through the request and kindness of
Mr.. Dawson, the silk-mill cases were in
vestigated by Medical Inspector Of
Board Of Health, and DIR. II. b. King,
and the evidence thus established is
convincing that cases coming from the
silk-mill did not become inocuated
there at all, but by some other source,
probably unknown TO the individuals
themselves.
Mr.. Dawson has always made mani
fest his desire to aid the Board Of
Health in the prevention OF contagious
diseases, and think In case Of calamity,
no discredit should be attributed to the
management Of the silk mill.

Origin Of smsll.po. IN Rsynoldsyille.

We are quite familiar that for nearly
ayear our town has been threatened
with an epidemic OF smallpox. II has
been variously diagnosed and even de
MED by different physicians, but the
census OF opinion seem TO favor that II
is genuine.
We sincerely request the active CO.
operation Of mill, labor superintend.
ent's, school principal, teachers and
parents to aid in preventing the spread
Of this disease.
Investigation proves the origin 10
have been with some mild cases In our
midst. unobserved by any physician and
by parents thought to he chicken-pox,
and by such unattended aud unobserved
conditions, IL has been spread.
We cannot place the blame OF the ex-
isting circumstances on any one, but by
such existing circumstances you can see
the Imperative need OF the above re-
quest.
The severe cases will be attended by
a physician probably In due time, but
the mild cases will be unattended and
the spread continue.
Therefore, when students become III
in school, let them DO at once dismissed
and not be permitted to attend until
some physician will by certificate vouch
for them.
This method has been approved by
Supt. of Enterprise Silk Co. and can be
easily put into operation.
Parents should carefully observe
their children, even in slight illness,
for such may prove to their neighbors
a severe or fatal sickness.
AS an aid we will state the most
prominent symptoms OF the pre-erup-

PROFITABLE FUN FOR BOYS.

4 person Strolling along the river front and over the Potomac floats dur ing these bright spring days is certain to meet dozens of youngsters, each armed with scoop net, and a tin bucket or other receptacle, wading and wandering about in the mud and water in search of small turtles and terrapiEs that every spring are matched by the thousands throughout the Potomac marsh lands in size from the dimen- sioRs of q silver dollar to 5-cent piece. Each youngster will generally be found with all the way from I dozen to hundred or more Of these turtles and terrapins. and judging by the eagerness with which the Doys prose cute the search and the frequent dis putes and squabbles that arise over the possession of certain favored sDots where the little chelonians happen to be most plentiful. one would say that the boys were engaged in the sport for something more than the pnra love of adventure.
 Such is the case. Hundreds of boys are at this time of year engagea in catching young terrapins, for which they receive all the, way from l to 5 cents apiece, according to tue supply. from the leading animal dealer cf this city. The Potomac valley is the para disc of dozen different varieties of turtles and terrapins that seem 10 thrive in larger numbers here than elsewhere. The demand for turtles 10 larger than silver dollar for aquari- ums in every city and town in the United States and Canada is supplied from this city and Baltimore. About 4.oo0 of these young terrapins are shipped out of Washington every day to druggists and others all over the United States. who. in turn. retail them out to people who have aquariums and
 who want small terrapin to put in
 with the gold fish and tadpoles. cf
 which the latter reptile this city also
 furnishes large numbers. Washington ] Post.

WILLIE's JOKE.

Women living on Washington boule- yard i'll Austin were recently excited to find on their doorsteps one after noon small handbill which an- neunced that the advertiser, had for sale the "best creamery butter" at the surprisingly low rate of fifteen cents a pound, or a little more than half the market price says the Chi cago Tribune The bill wenf on fo say that the butter was perfectly fresh ana that the extremely low price was made in order to introduce it.
 Not more than one pound will be sold 10 any person" it said. and the address given was private house on Willow avenue. 4 good many of the women went over the nexr morning ana sent other people in their interest. so that they might get more than a single pound of the great bargain. They found when they reached inc address given that the woman of tle house knew nothing of the bill or tbe butter. and was indignant at the prac- neal Joke which had been played on her. She asked her husband about # when he came home that evening. and showed him one of the bills Then the mystery was explained
 A year or two before he had been forced to take possession Of severn
 hundred pounds of butter in settlemept
 of an old debt. and he had decided tC
 sell It among his neighbors. With tha1
 idea in view he had lot of bill. printed. But his wife so strongly oD jected that he had sold the butter il town and hidden the bills away in th. barn without saying anything ahon them to his wife
 The day before the recent excite
 Inent. Willie. the small boy of tht household, had found the bills. and
 with the assistance of half a dozeI friends. had distributed them over th, neighborhood That night Willie wen out to the barn again. This time nj. father accompanied him. And it i. safe to say that the next time ile i. inspired to do something especially bright he will remember that interview and resist the impulse
