STRANGE DISEASE KILLS
JERSEY COAST HORSES

Toms River, Oct. S:-A strange dis
ease is carving off dozens of horses
along the bay shore. A number OF
animals have died at Tuckertcn and
Manahawkin. The disease seems to be
kind of a spinal meningitis. 1t is con
tagious, one horse injecting an entire
stable, and is almost invariably fatal.
Some say it is brought by old and over
worked horses; others say it comes fro III
the feeding of salt hay that has become
rusty during the wet weather. Last year
a similar disease flourisbed from Cape
May to Barnegat, and all cases were
traced to a stable at Manahawkin.

OF the river, tearing up tea grass and

covered what feed was left, and about
completed the destruction. The year
after the blizzard the ducks appeared in
normal numbers, but found not what
they came for. and the Chesapeake
shooting has never fully recovered from
these two disasters. The wise ones Of
the ducking waters have figured Il out
that after . year or two only young
birds were left, and these did not even
know the way to the Maryland pastures.

Chronic Ailmenf.

A small portion Of suffering which
humanity is heir to, arises from acute
diseases. These yield at once to the
ordinary practice of the schools, or
they soon battle all medical skill. But
there is class of complaints with
which men and women are afflicted,
that, without producing any
apparently alarming symptoms, linger
along for years perhaps, but, unless
arrested, Invariably sooner or later
prove fatal. These are the chronic
diseases which DIR. F. B. Brewer
makes, and has made for years, a
speciality. And for the treatment of
such complaints, there is probably no
physician of the present day more
successful than he. He has made
regular visits for years, and such has
been his success in cases he has treated,
that we can safely recommend him to
those out of health.-From the Kala-
maZoo Mich. Gazette. It will be seen
that DR.. Brewer makes his next visit
at the Hotel Dixon in this city on
Thursday, May 5. Consultation is
free.

The young mao who is fooling away
his school days, is doing himself and
those dependent upon him in later
years the greatest injury. Somehow it
is very difficult to convince any boy of
this fact, but it will come to him some
day in way that will make an I'M
preston. The lad who thinks he is
'fooling the old man. or getting even
with the teacher by soldering, is only
fooling himself. 1t might also be added
that girls who think that they have
acquired all the schooling they need,
that they will some day regret that
they did not avail themselves of the
advantages of the school room a while
longer"

The Midnight Express

will appear at the Grand opera house
on Thursday. April 81. The play is
said to be the most wonderful of all
scenic productions on tour this season
A clever cast of players introducing
Nellie Kennedy and Royal Stout are
among the principal artists with the
company. A wonderful railroad
scene in which train of cars, with
engine and tender, crosses the stage
at lightning speed, a fight for life or
death on a high cliff with a wonder
full leap into the boiling sea are some
of the scenes introduced in the play.
A bright line of clean comedy makes
the attraction one of the best booked
by Manager Hamilton this season.
Lovers of this class of entertainment
should not miss seeing the Midnight
Express. Seats on sale at usual places.

Paper company, should post notices

dizzy and fall into The stream. It is no
place for children unless attended by
their parents who can care for their
safety. The flowing water through
the,sluices and over the spill is too
handsome to become the means of
causing the death Of even one life.
Let US be cautious and guard all we
can from the possibility of danger.
