Physicians Theory for Unsc-
eountahie Spread OF the
Disease.

Oshkosh, Wis, Aug. 20.-Dr. F. j..
Wilkie, health officer OF this city, ex-
presses the belief that most of the
smallpox cases in the cities of centra,
and southern Wisconsin and perhaps
Chicago have not been the result of
actual contact with infected persons
or clothing, but OF infection from
germ-laden lumber brought down from
the woods of northern Wisconsin and
Michigan. d.
'He bases his belief ON, his experience
of the past year in fighting the disease
in this city. In practically every case
the first one in a family to be affected
was the father and he invariably WIS
employed IN a sash or door or furni-
ture factory and scarcely left home
save to go to work and to church.s
DR.. Willxie maintains that lumber,
being rough and porous, could easily
serve as a vehicle for contagion germs
and that thus disease could be con:
veyed from the lumber camps of north
ern Wisconsin, Michigan and Mime
sofa cities where the lumber was saw
ed up or handled.

Washington, Aug. 20. - News has
lust been received here of the ap-
pointment of DR.. DaIiel Quinn. the
eminent Greek scholar, to the presi-
dency of the Leonine college at Ath-
ems. This appointment is an unusual
compliment to American scholarship,
inasmuch as DR.. Quinn, an American,
has been selected by Pope l. eo to di''
rect school In which young Greeks
are prepared for their theological
training.
DR.. Quinn, few years ago was heal
professor of Greek in the Catholic
university here, and upon his resigna-
ton went to Athens, where he receiv-
ed an archaeological appointment
from the grench government. His
extraordinary talents have now been
recognized by his elevation to the
presidency of the Leonine college, a
special foundation of the present
pope.
. d. Quinn was born in Ohio about
thirty-eight years ago and was edu-
Gated at Mount st. Mary's Seminary
at Emmetsburg, Md. He was the first
American to take a degree from the
University at Athens, at which he was
given his doctorate Of philosophy a
short time ago.

by Judge Byron S.
Amber.

A cable dispatch from the Philip
pines, dated at Manila, Aug. IS, makes
mention of the work of Judge Byron
s. Amber. the brother of Common
Pleas Judge Ralph Amber, of Can
ton, and whose rumored retirement
from the judicial position he now
holds in the islands has been dis
cussed by the Ohio press. The dis
patch says:
Judge Amber decided the head

tor, and Edward O'Brien, editor of
Freedom, who were charged with Ii
beling Benito Legarda, Filipino
member Of the civil commission, an
nounced that he found the defendants
guilty. They were not sentenced.
Judge Amber decided that the head
lines of the article in question pub
lished in Freedom were libelous, and
that the text Of the article was not
privileged because it was published
maliciously and was therefore libel
ious.
"The trial of Dorr and O'Brien on

CREATED A SCENE
IN A DANCING HALL
Stra nge Woman Offered Pray
er on Floor Of tho Rock
Springs Pavilion.
(Staff Special,)

lotdu SpcCldl.D
Fast Liverpool, Aug. 2G.--A strange
woman created scene at the dance at
Rock Spring park Tuesday evening.
During an intermission between the
dances the woman entered the pavil-
ion and advancing to the front of the
floor, dropped on her knees and began
to pray. The attention Of all in the
pavilion was at once centered on the
woman, although no one attempted 10
interrupt her.
II is believed the woman is a well
known East Liverpool resident, who
has an antipathy to dancing and took
this means of appealing to her daugh-
ter who she thought was present.
After concluding her prayer the woman
left as suddenly as she came. The af-
fair created quite sensation at the
park.

Roosevelt's Picture Con-
pieuous by tsAbsence.

Portsmouth. o., Aug, 20. = The peo-
pie OF this city last evening rendered
rousing public reception to General
Jacob Smith, who was recently court
martialed by order of President
Roosevelt and dismissed from the SER
vice for alleged severity in Samoa.
A banquet following the reception was
the most elaborate ever attempted in
Portsmouth. Capt. Greed Milstead,
commander of the G. A. r. post and
mayor of the city, welcomed General
Smih home to Portsmouth. General
Smith was almost overcome with
emotion when he responded. He said
in part:
"Mr. Toastmaster and gentlemen:
More than forty years ago, in answer
to the call to arms of my country, l
left my home and my friends to be-
come a soldier in the Union army.
During every day since that time /
have been and am still soldier. To-
night my comrades in arms, my old
neighbors and friends and the gener-
alton which has come upon the stage
of action since, have bade me well
come home again. For this generous
welcome from my comrades in arms
Of four wars l thank you from the
bottom of my heart.
"The duty of soldier Is to his
country. He is to maintain the honor
of his nation, to protect it's citizens
wheresoever he may be. We have
fought to make this a united country,
to wrest the great west from the
hordes of Indian savages and to pro-
tect the frontiersmen and their wives
and children in their homes, to bring
the blessing of liberty and good gov
ernment to our neighboring and dis
tant isles Of the seas, to avenge the
massacre in the harbor Of Havana.
to compel obedience to our authority
In the Philippine islands and to paci-
fy and subdue the most savage tribes
of the earth. The warfare In which
our troops are engaged in the Philip
pines differs from any in which we
have ever engaged heretofore and
speaking, not for myself, they have
all done their duty well. officers and
soldiers, and deserve well of their
country. '."'
In LuZon the tribes are different
from those of Samar, the latter is
land being peopled by savage tribes
who do not recognize any rules of
civilized warfare, but are treacherous
and brutal to the lowest degree. Still
they must be brought into subsection.
For the humble part which / took
l am aware that there has been much
criticism, but to take criticism Is
part of soldiers training. / have al
ready had occasion to say that he
must take what comes to him with

say whether he has acted the part of
a soldier or not. My sword is still at
the command Of my country"
Other toasts were responded to by
Hon. J. ]. Glidden of Cincinnati, Dr..
Edward Rickets Of Cincinnati and
prominent local people. All breathed
commendation for the cause of Gen.
eral Smith and hoped that he would
be reinstated. The hotel was profusely
decorated with pictures Of Mckinley
and other distinguished men. but no
portrait of President Roosevelt was
visible.
