Secretary Baker OF the State Board

Der OF places at which IL was reported
present in Michigan. Because OF It's
mildness and its not being promptly

and other important reasons complete
organization of every local board Of
health has been urged, and special
effort has been made by the Office of
the state board TO secure for every To-
cality the appointment of health
officer, who IS the executive officer Of
the board and the one person with
whom the state board can get into inn
mediate communication as necessity
demands. The effort has been reward
ed by returns from all but two villages

have doubled their output OF books,

William Thaw. the millionaire Of

winter in Washington. Mrs. Mary

makes the announcement.
Mrs. Thaw. however. is stern in de
nouncing the alliance, and will cut
Miss Thaw off from a few millions of
dollars at her death. However. from
almost no income at all to several
million dollars, the amount of Miss
Thaw's personal fortune, seems an
alluring step to the Earl, and when
1t is owned by pretty and vivacious
American girl it is doubly worth his
long efforts to secure a wife in this
country
The Earl of Yarmouth went to
Washington from New York some
weeks ago as guest of Harry X
Thaw. at his Lafayette square house.
and almost Immediately the attach
ment between the earl and Miss
Thaw became current talk. The ru-
NOR of their engagement gained rap
idly in society. but was warmly de-
MED by Mrs. Thaw. After an evident
failure to bring the Earl's visit to
close because his suit was highly fav-
ored by Mr.. Thaw, Miss Thaw was
gotten ready on short notice and sent
to her sister. Mrs. George Carnegie,
at Cumberland island, their winter
home on the southern coast o; Flor
ida.
The Earl and Harry Thaw viewed
the move with most amazing compla-
cency. and expressed their pleasure at
knowing Miss Thaw was to visit her
charming sister at the island. Mrs.
Thaw accompanied her daughter to
the train and did not note the absence
of the earl. who was naturally ex-
pected to be on hand at the parting.
Miss Thaw was cheerful. and waved
her mother goodby from the rear of
the train.
After the train was well on the
way out Of Washington well dressed
young Englishmar in the sleeper just
ahead of the special car made some
inquiries as to the identity OF those
in the special, and a few minutes later
the card OF the Earl of Yarmouth was
carried by porter to Miss Thaw, who
expressed the greatest surprise at the
coincidence. aaa Hf4+

MAY REVIVE SQUARE PIANO.
Recent Improvement Adds to Effect

Perhaps the square piano will come
into vogue again now that Mrs. John
Mitchell Clark of New York has dis
covered that piano top. shaped like
the upper side OF a brass viol. adds
great clearness and resonance to the
tone OF the instrument. The top is
concave within. something like the
roof of the human mouth. and it
serves the purpose of collecting and
distributing tone. It is a tone re-
Hector, in fact; and. since the tones
are not exaggerated, but simply col
lected and carried. this invention
seems particularly adapted to the
heavily curtained drawing room.
When the piano is closed this lid
shuts upon 1t like a shell. having
much the effect of the Louis XIV fur

hility of the instrument being used as
