! MEETS PUBLIC APPROVAL.

There is no doubt in the public
mind as to the great benefit to be de-
rived from DR.. F. @. Henry's bill
which he has introduced in the legis-
lature proviid5IhH5ept for the free distribu-
tion of a~ntitQxine throughout the
State. We have already quoted what
the New Brunswick Daily Press had
to say about the bill. Here are q few
more. The Newark Evening News
says:
HAssemblyman Henry, of Middlesex,
has introduced, in. the Legislature q
bill providing for the establishment
Of a State laboratory, under the direc-
tion Of the State Board of Health, for
the manufacture Of diphtheria anti
toxin, for free distribution to the
people of this State. This is a new
and very formidable phase OF the war
against Tie death trust. So far as
the, city af Newark is concerned, it
dnas notrneed the States assistance, "

years manufactured its W supply OF
the remedy and has generously fur
nished 1t to other cities in this State
at about cost of production whenever
demand has been made. 1t was also
Of material assistance i'll breaking
down the Aptitoxin. lTrust in Chicago.
1t seems probable that Assemblyman
Henry's bill was suggested by the en-
inent member of the State Board of
Health who resides in Middlesex
County, and it must be admitted that
there rests upon every State something
like All obligation to protect its citi-
zens against the exorbitant demands
Of such a combination as the Antitoxin
Trust, if not a. duty to provide free
the most potent remedy for diphtheria.
If victims of consumption are provid-
ed with the mean of restoration and
cure at great expense, why not the

The Elizabeth Journal says:
"Assemblyman Henry's bill provid-
ing,for the manufacture of an~ti-toxin
by the State is q bill for the people.

ed curo for diphther;a. The trust
holds the price up at "a a dose, and it
is said this dose can be made for
twenty cents. If the State can make
anti-toxin and sell it at SO reasonable
a cost it would be humane to make
Mr.. Henry's bill q law"
1t may be that the bill will be re-
ported from the committee and will
have passed the house, by the time
the News is ON the press. Whether it
has or not, it is evident that the pub
lie approval is such that no legislator
will hardly dare vote against it.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March Il
In the United States court sentence
was passed upon Mrs. Helen Wilmans-
Post, the mental science mind cure
healer convicted Of using the mails for
fraudulent purposes. The sentence was
that she be confined for one year and
one day in the p%enitentiary at Nash
vile, Tenn. An appeal was at once
taken and granted. When asked If
she had anything to say, Mrs. Post
said: you cannot pronounce sentence
of guilt against me. The sentence you
are going to pronounce will be against
the ignorance of the age, and this sem
tance will not only fail to condemn me,
but it will exonerate me from all par
ticipatlon in such ignorance"

H HOSPITAL FUND.

Let us not forget the fund being
raised to build the reception room and
morgue at the hospital. Many persons
and several societies have already
contributed to this, and, while the
list has not appeared in the News
every day, the moneyeis ready and the
fund is still open for more contribu-
tions.
The people have not been urged to
contribute of late owing to the several
other benefits that have been on foot
to raise money to meet the running
expenses of the hospital. 1t is not the
desire to have this fund interfere i'll
any way with the money that must
necessarily be raised for this purpose.
The institution must be maintained
and it rests with the people to do it.
At the same time, these benefits only
demonstrate what has been pointed
out in the Evening News before, that
if these additions to the hospital are
to be built the money must be in
dependent Of the expenses. In other
words, the people must go down deep
to help complete the institution. The

One of our very warm personal
friends presented us with four as
pretty peaches as we have seen in
many day. They were beauti-
full to the eye, delicious in taste,
delightfully."- fragrant and surpris-
ing in weight and slze-in fact
they were premium winners.
They were grown in New Iberia
soil, by home skill and cultivation.
We regret that we are enjolned to
withhold the name Of the donor
for the reason that he apprehends
that the information of the lOca-
ton of such fruit trees might
tempt the rObber. Think of it,
Mr.. Merchant: Everybody and
everything reads the Iberian-we
might help you in attracting the
BUYER. Wouldn't that be a

The celebration of the Glorious
4th, by our tiremen was a success
in all It's branches. The street
parade was the best seen here in
several years. The tiremen made
splendid showing.
At the park the crowd was large
and took a lively interest il, all OF
the sports of the day. The a
musements were well planned and
all passed off smoothly. The
ladies did remarkably we'll with
their refreshments, netting hand
some amounts for the companies.
The Hose Wagon of Iberia Fire
Go. No l was dedicated on this
day to It's future service, with ap
proprlate ceremonies, by Rev. c

The ball given by West-En(
Hose Co. No. g., at the City Hall
at night, was literally patronizet
and was a splendid success.
We trust that these successes
will lead to the permanent organi
cation again of an efficient fire de
partment, and that Fireman's Day
Will become an annual feature.

We know it isn'tin human nature
to paint very often; we don't ex
