HARLEM ON THE SCRATCH
The Itch Insect Responsible-Hun-

That portion OF Harlem. so-called. bounded
by Eightieth and One-hundred- twenty

3 just now suffering from a small but insinuat-
ing and vindictive pest. the itch insect. and
people generally are On the scratch. They
scratch on retiring they scratch in their sleep;
they scratch on waking they scratch at break
fast They scratch n elevated trains; they
scratch while doing their daily work. They

IS one long itch and scratch.
The itch insect is Of the bacilE order, and al
though not minute. is hardly observable 10
the naked eye. II IS no respecter Of persons
age. and makes its arrival known soon after
it takes Up its abode IN the human body.
Whence it comes and its pedigree is a question
for entomologists. Why it should pitch the
particular section Of Harlem It has is another
problem which the Health Board may try to
solve.
In the section already named in the last two
weeks there have been over hundred cases of
itch for which this insect has been responsible.
Residents Of Ninety-sixth. and Ninety-eighth
SITS, between Columbus and Amsterdam ayes,
IN particular, have suffered from the pest, the
majority Of the cases treated by physicians hav-
ing been in that district
The insects began to torment the Harlenlites
some three weeks ago. First one member Of
q family would scratch. The next day another
would join him. In a few days from the
father 10 the baby. where there was one, the
entire household, would be clawing at various
portions OF their body wherein the itch insect
had enscoRced itself. From family to family,
from house 10 house. the itching spread until IL
became a small epidemic CONSERVATION Teigned,
for none Of the itching and scratching knew the
whercfores and Yhyfores. First. they blamed
feas: then mosquitoes; then the warm weather
Il was not until a physician was consulted by
several OF the afflicted persons that the nature
OF the torment and its source became known.
All the original cases have been cured. but
new ones are constantly coming TO notice, and
some residents Of the district have decided 10

he cannot suggest some means Of driving the
itch insect FAR from the confines OF Harlem.

CRITICISM OF SEMINARY.
ORTHODOX Rabbis Declare Too Little
of Hebraic Lac Taught.

At the Synagogue Of Beth Ell Hamid Rash IN
Norfolk-st., yesterday. several rabbis spoke IN
opposition TO the policy of the Jewish Theolog-
zeal Seminary Of America, AZ Oue-hundred-a and
twenty -third-st. and Amsterdam-ave. The ra0-
bis Of the Union Of American Orthodox Rabbis
decry the methods employed in educating tha
students Of the seminary. contending that not
enough of the Heurail laws. including the Tai
mud Nidrash Mishna and Torah. as well a.
the Dietary laws IS taught Among the speak
ers at the meeting were Rabbi Jaffa, Synagogue
Beth FL Hamid Rash: Rabbi AbIamoWltz
Chrystie Street Synagogue: Rabbi Margolies. OF
Boston; Rabbi Simon Ziwitz. Of Pittsburg'
Penn, Rabbi \. c. Lesser of Cincinnati. Ohio,
and Rabbi Norris Wenberger, Fifth street
Synagogue.
The meeting at the synagogue followed a
morning session at No. 156 Henry-st.. when the
visiting rabbis exchanged opinions and discussed
the seminary situation. Rabbi Jaffa, the first
speaker, said any departure from traditional
Judaism. such as might follow failure Of the
theological seminaries to teach the rabbinical
laws. would tend to destroy utterly the JeWish
Sabbath. ANY movement which suggested this
must be opposed.
we must oppose any teaching which tends 10

We also use Or. Miles Anti Pain Pills with

LITERARY MASTERPIECES
4 Remarkable Offer.

It is an interesting fact and one al
ways borne out, that when people de-
sire to- know more Of the manners and
morals of an epoch, how their prede-
cessors lived, loved, waged their little
war with destiny and then passed on,
they turn not to the pages of the his
torian, but to those of the novelist.
Balzac, in his Coincide Humaine,'
gave to France a comprehensive and
consistent exposition Of the manner
and mode of life Of preceding genera
tions as we'll as of his own time. While
no one English novelist has attempted
such Hercu1ean task, the fact re-
mains that the ground has been COW
cred, but by different writer's. 1t re-
NAMED for the Century company to
produce us an English Coincide HUI
maine" .4 .1
This they have done, grouping to-
gether fifteen novels, the work of fiji
teen different writer's. One may be-
gin with 'Addison's "Sir Roger de
Coverley." This study of the old
time English squire, with his sturdy
uprightness. his reverence for past
observances and traditions, is calcu-
lated to please all. In considerable
