Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, Nov. 3.-The disappear
ance of Mrs. William Hennesey, aged sixty
four, feeble and broken down in health, is

safety. She has been in poor health for
five months and she often threatened TO kill
herself. She and her husband lived in South
Marion at a point but a few blocks from the
river. She was seen by neighbOrS to leave
her home early Wednesday morning, walk
ing toward the river. Since that time all
trace of her has been lost.

DEPOPULATING IRELAND.
A Story Unparalleled in the History
of Any Other Country.

The Irish immigration statistics for
1902. which have been published re-
Gently, are worthy of serious considera-
ton by the large number of people in
this country who have the interests
of Ireland at heart. Last year AZ ,252
people left Ireland for other places, an
increase of 3,042 over 1901, and of this
number 37,SS5 came to the United
States. During the past half century
sol ,492 people, a figure in excess of
the present population of Cork, left
that city and county alone to seek
homes elsewhere.
No other country in the world is
being depopulated to such degree as
the Emerald Isle, which is a striking
arraignment against the system of gov
eminent that prevails there. Perhaps
it would be too grave claim to charge
Great Britain with inaugurating a pol
icy of attempting to crush resistance
that the people are forced to leave the
country, yet that seems to be the case.
The awful consequence of a long con-
tinued policy of determination, depopu-
lation, and desolation, have caused
grave fears among lrishmen for the fu-
ture welfare CT their country 1t was
these fears that were mainly RESPONSE
BILE for the conference held between
the Nationalists and the landlords. at
which the situation was fully discussed
and a plan was formulated to put an
end to the evils. 1t was step in the
right direction, but whether parlia-
ment when it is asked to ness the leg

conditions, will continue in its course

The present course, which is moth

DEADLY PNEUMONIA.
More Contagious Inan tuberculosis
and Kills More People.

We wonder If the fact that patients
and their friends ignore the contagious
ness of pneumonia If often due to pro-
! fessional negligence. An exaggerated
conception OF the contagiousness OF tu-
berculosis Is held by the lay world, but
pneumonia is, OF course, far more con-
tagious And patients and professional
alike have not realized the new fact that
the mortality of pneumonia is in some
cities and parts of the country, higher
than that OF tuberculosis. DR.. Reynolds
Of Chicago returns to this lesson and
emphasizes the necessity OF the follow
ing measures.
Pneumonia is q highly contagious dis
case, the case Of which is a micro-or-
ganisn in the sputa of those suffering
from tie malady. and contracted by in
haiiug this germ. Therefore. the same
care should be taken to collect and de-
etfoy the sputa that is taken in pull
nonary tuberculosis, or in dipththeria,
or influenza.
During the illness the greatest pains
should be taken TO prevent soiling bed
clothing carpets, or furniture with the
sputa, and after the illness the patients
room should be thoroughly cleansed and
Ne1llldIeu,
The fact that the disease is most pre-
valent in the winter season, when peo-
pie are most crowded together and live
much of the time in badly ventilated
apartments, makes obvious the necessi-
ity of thorough ventilation of houses,
Offices, factories. theaters, churches, pas
sengcr cars, and other public places in
order that the air which must be
breathed may be kept clean and free
from infectious matter.
Laymen should be taught not to be
afraid of patient who has pneumonia,
influenza or tuberculosis, but to be
afraid of lack of cleanliness about him
during his illness. or failure to enforce
prophylactic measures and of close,
badly ventilated apartments during the
season when these diseases most pre-
vail
Since pneumonia is most fatal at the
extremes of life-the young and the
aged-special care should be taken TO
guard children and old persons against
exposure to the infection of those al
ready suffering with the disease and
against cold, privation and exposure to
the wather, which are potent, predispos-
ing causes. -American Medicine.

Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1903-02-26

Artists draughtsmen and photog-
raphers need no longer depend on a
bit of string and two pins when they
wish to draw an oval, for with the in
strument just patented by New York
artist an oval is drawn as easily and
quickly as circle is made with a
compass.
Any proportion or size desired may
be made, long or narrow, or almost
round, the largest limited only by the
length of the beam to which the draw
ing point Is attached, and the smallest
by the length of the body OF the in
strument.
The most important feature is the
automatic sliding tram, running at
right angles through the body of the
instrument always protruding on the
opposite side TO that of the drawing
point. thereby preventing any inter-
ference and allowing great range OF
sizes and proportions,
