WHOLE CITY INFECTED.
One Out of Every Seven in Butler, Pa,
Has Typhoid

A dispatch from Butler, Pa to the New
York World says: The epidemic of typhoid
fever which broke out on September Is in
creases. Nearly 1900 cases and eighteen
deaths have been reported. This means that
about one out of every seven of the bor-
ough's inhabitants have been stricken
The Rev. Father T.. A. Carroll, of whose
congregation 125 are i'll, says:
I'VE need girls to work and who know
something about nursing. AS you love God
and your neighbor come 70 Buffers assist
ance."
One physician has sixty-hve fever pa
tents: four doctors have broken down
under the strain, and weakened have been
easier victims of the scourge; the last of
them was DR.. James Grossman today.
The relief committeeman, clergynen and
doctors say that the worst is yet to come;
that the epidemic will not subside until
April and that $1,eD0 a day will be needed
to nurse and feed the sick.
In response to appeals nurses are arriv-
ing on every train, but domestic help to
wash the clothes and bedding of the pa
tents is as badly needed as nurses
The state board of health found that the
epidemic was caused by pollution of the
water used by most citizens. This pollution
is traceable to cases of the fever near
Thorn Run dam, the reservoir of the Butler
Water Company

Bari and Venice have always disputed as
to which of them possesses the authentic
bones of ST. Nicholas but there would seem
to be no doubt in the mind of the Russian
General Bagdonovitch. who on seeing them
offered the Cathedral of Bari 1.000, 900 rub1es
(about f105.0G0) for them. with the inten-
ton of taking them to Russia, where this
saint is extraordinarily popular. 1t appears
that General Bagdonovitch was visiting

DR.. Johnson, even If we except his pre-
decessor. Bailey. was not the father OF
photographers. In the latest volume issued
by the historical manuscripts commission on
manuscripts in the Welsh language 1t is
stated that the idea of Illustrating the
meaning and correct use of words by actual
quotations from the literature of living
language seems to have been first put in
practice by Griffith Hiraethog, the herald
bard of Wales. who died in 1854. 1t was
not till the days of DIR. Johnson, two hum
dred years later, that a similar idea took
root in English soil. An abbreviated copy
of Griffith Hiraethog's Welsh Dictionary
was made by his pupil, william Llyn, be-
tween 1867 and 1878. and Is now In the tree
