Diphtheria in the County.-Under this
head the Baltimore american Of Thursday
says, editorially There is no need for wide
spread alarm in Baltimore county over the
outbreak of diphtheria in the 9Th district but
every precaution must be taken to hold the
dread disease in check and to prevent its
spread. The prompt closing Of the schools
was q wise measure, as the communication Of
the disease from one child to another is the
chief danger under the conditions which now
exist in the affected region. DR.. J. Fl. Drach,
the sanitary officer of the district, realizes the
Importance of the task suddenly laid upon his
shoulders, and, backed up by the Commission
ers of Baltimore county, is doing all man can
do to stamp out the disease and reduce the
number of victims to minimum. If he
needs any assistance he should promptly call
upon the State Board of Health for its aid and
advice.
I'm a city the size of Baltimore there are
generally some cases of diphtheria, and the
present time is no exception to this rule.
There is rarely the slightest danger Of aspread
of the disease, as each case is promptly reported
by the physician called in attendance, and the
Health Department secures the isolation of the
patient and attends to the fumigation of the
house. Such prompt measures are not always
possible in a rural community, but the steps
which have been taken by DR.. Drach in the
9th district of Baltimore county make the
further spread of the disease improbable"

The Company's Request Granted.-On
Wednesday the County Commissioners decided
to place the work of macadamizing Roland
avenue in the hands of the Roland Park Com
pany. Some time ago the Board agreed to
macadamize a portion of that avenue, and
later Mr. E. H. Bouton, of the Roland Park
Company, wrote that the company was in
position to do the work quicker than the
county could have it done, and as the company
was interested in the improvement it would
see that the money appropriated by the county
for the purpose went as far as possible. Roads
Engineer Crosby recommended that the Ro-
land Park Company do the work, and Road
Commissioner Shepherd agreed to the PROPOSE
ton, after he had ascertained that the men
under him have enough work elsewhere to
keep them employed.

right Try as she might, she could
not imagine her soft spoken and white
handed favored lover facing such dan
ger for her sake and shoS'ing himself
so sternly masterful. OF course the
time was not one in which TO decide the
future, but she felt an overpowering
longing to at least beg her rescuer's
pardon and thank him even with ca
resses for having saved her life and the
lives of her parents.
In the meantime Mcdonald continued
the terrible battle with the flood, but
not until bend I'm the river was
reached was it possible for him to
swing the raft out of the current into
an eddy and guide it to the shore.
When it finally touched land he plung-
ed into the water and pushed the raft
securely aground. AS they all scram-
bled on to the land they began to over
whelm him with their thanks, but all
he said in reply was:
II simply did my duty. An express
parcel came tonight for Miss Olive,
with orders for 1t to be delivered at
once, and now | can deliver it."
AS he said this he handed the girl
the little package. She detected the
note of cruel exultation in his voice
though her parents did not and she
took the parcel from his hand mechan
ically without speaking word. Al
this point couple of farmers who had
been watching the flood and had seen
them land with their lantern came
running up. After congratulating them
on their rescue they insisted that they
should go up to the farmhouse and gel
dry clothes. Although McDonald's err
rand was performed and he knew thai
the right thing for him to do was tc
return to his home. he could not resist
the temptation to enjoy his triumph
even further; SO he yielded to the i'm
