SMALLPOX IN NEW BRITAIN.
Possibly Spread by Health Officer $
 Delay

New Britain, March 4.-A case of smallpox was discovered yesterday ar ternoon. The victim Is Timothy Snan- ahan, who boards with his brother-in- law, Edward Hennessey, on the second floor at No S9 Grove street. City Health Officer w. F. Bunnell made every ef- fort to keep the matter quiet yesterday and declined to talk about it. From neighbors it was learned that Shana- han, who is employed at the Russell & Edwin factory, has been home i'll since last Saturday. At first he complained of cold and thought he had the grip. Yesterday afternoon Dr Bunnell and Or J. E. Martin drove up to the house.
 Dr Martin went in while the city health officer spent the time driving up and down the street After Dr Martin came out he said the case was small pox. This was between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon and it was after , o'clock before Dr Bunnell placed q quarantine on the house with two po- licemen to enforce it.
 In the Hennessey family are MT and Mrs Hennessey, one child and the man with the smallpox. The lower floor is occupied by John Meehan, the owner of the house. There are eight persons in his family. As soon as it was known that the case was smallpox, Mrs Hennessey and the child left the house, as did all but one of the Meehan fam fly. These people got away before the police arrived and there is considera- ble criticism of the city health officer for allowing these people, who had come in contact with the case, to go among their friends through the city.

Boston, Sept. 21.-An extensive
fraud that has been perpetrated upon
the Boston g. Northern Street Rail-
way Co. by the printing of bogus

last Years output Reached the Enore
nous Amount OF I5,OOO,OOO Tons
The Worlds Record.
The state department at Washing
ton has received from consular
sources in Germany some notable
comments on the development of the
worlds steel industry. OF all coun-
tries producing steel in 1902, the
United States led with an output of
100000 tons. OF one of the reports
the department says:
"These figures grow in Importance
when it is remembered that the
worlds production in 1894 was only
12,s51,0O tons. Germany's produr.
tion in 1909 was 7,7S0,o00 tons, one-
half that of the United States, while
England's was only 100000 tons, or
one-third of the production of the
United States. The worlds total steel
output for 1902 was estimated at 3d.
00p.OnO tons. This would indicate a.
growth of 10 per cent. in - years, or
an increase from a little more than
100000 tons in 1880 to 35,O0O,0O0
tons in 1892. The great increase is
due to the introduction of improved
processes, notably the flame furnace
Pennsylvania leads all parts of the
world in the use of this furnace, and
is followed by Illinois, New England
and Ohio.
"The steel produced by the Besse-
mer process during the last Is years
was used mostly for rails. In En-
gland more than half of the steel pro-
duced by the Bessemer process went
into rails. In Germany and the
United States the proportion is not so
large. While the United States pro-
duced 9,3O6,471 tons of steel ingots in
1902, it turned out only 2,s76,293 tons
of steel rails, or about 30 per cent.
of the steel iugot production. In Ger
many the amount of Besscmcr steel
put into rails is proportionatelv
smaller"

PREVALENCE OF CATARRH
Growing Use Of HyOmei viii Soon Show Q
Decrease Of this Disease.

Statistics show that at least OF out
of every 100 persons in this State are
suffering from catarrh in some form.
While the disease is one Of the most
common with which the medical pro-
fession has to contend, IL also Is one
Of the most dangerous. This is owing
to its tendency to affect the bronchial
tubes, causing consumption and other
diseases of the respiratory organs.
The discovery of Hyomei and its in
creased use has already reduced the
percentage of persons suffering from
catarrh. This wonderful remedy is
the simplest and most pleasant of all
treatments. just put little Hyomei
in the pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, breathe through the in
haler for ten minutes four times q
day. Relief will be seen from the
first treatment; cure will soon follow.
1t is the true treatment for diseases
of the respiratory organs.
Scientific and medical men recon-
mend it. Leading druggists have so
much faith in it that they guarantee
a cure or they will refund the money.
In this city Feldmeyer Brothers are
selling it upon that plan, so that any
of our readers can use Hyomei with
out its costing them cent unless 1t
cures. Can there be fairer way?
