 Scarlet fever is the one great topic in this borough at the present time. In spite Of the fact that the schools are closed and rigid quarantine es- fablished, new cases of this dread dis ease are constantly being brought to light. and nothing seems to be able to check it's progress. The public should cooperate with the health officials in every way possible to help stamp out the epidemic. A liberal use of disin- fectants in and around places where disease germs would have the slightest chance to propagate would do much to help check the spread of diphtheria and scarlet fever. If everyone does his or her share in helping to check the prog ress of these two diseases 1t will be only a short time before the large num- Der of new cases being reported will be reduced to minimum.

Buckingham made a tour of the land surrounding the pro- posed county bridge to span the Naug- atuck river yesterday be- tween Watertown and Watervtlle. Sev- eral of the property owners in that section were interviewed on the propo- sition of building the bridge and al- though few of the taxpayers seem to be in favor of its construction the majority of the citizens seem to be greatly set against 1t. This bridge, If constructed, would prove not only a great convenience to the trave1ing pub- lie, but also would aid greatly in in creasing the value of property. in that vicinity.

 Silly Little Tricks.
vust for the Romance of It Denver Couple EIoped One Day Too ;. Soon-Married on Railway
 Train.

"Just for the romance of it." Cupid q willing victims urge that reason for the methods they employ in attaining matrimony more often than any other. Just for the romance of it they adopt some unsual way Of uniting their for I tunes for good or bad. They want something out of the ordinary. The story may be old, and lovers may be content that it should be old, but they want the method to be new.
 Just for the romance of it they pug gle their parents and their friends. One reading an account of these af- fairs could not, with justice, exclaim that romance is growing out of the world. Romance is getting more TO- mantle every day,
 There was no other earthly reason, says the Chicago Tribune, why Miss Pearl Walker, of Denver, and George w. Ballard, of Pueblo, Colo, should have been married as they were. They could have issued invitations, had . formal church affair, and have gone away on their wedding trip with shoes and rice following after them just as well as not. This was not the kind of q wedding they wanted.
 They had the necessary license. Tho minister had been engaged. The house had been furnished. Everything was prepared for a quiet conventional wed- ding, when the young people decided that was not exciting enough. There was not enough romance in it to mark the beginning of their new lives. So they changed it.
 The way they did 1t was thiss They got married in advance of the day arr ranged. Then, as staid married peo- pie, they "eloped." The brides psr- ents did not know of Che wedding, and they knew nothing of the elopemelst until the young people were missed. They left no ink1ing as to where they had gone. An investigation proved that they had not been in the newly furnished house which was ready for

 Miss Gonne is famous for her beauty and her wealth, but especially because she has devoted these gifts to the up lifting of downtrodden Ireland. She has given her money for the cause she espouses, has made use of her beauty to influence others to become support CTS of that cause, and has travelled many miles to lecture upon the wrongs she deplores.
