ONE PERSON IN TEN AFFLICTED
-A!lMENT SAID TO BE
CAUSED BY WATER.
Attention Of Medical Profession \.
Called to the Remarkable cond;.
ton in Pennsylvania.

HARRISBURG, Pa. Dec. ga col.
ony of goiter-afflicted persons exist
in Canoe township, in the northern
part of Indiana county. Here, accord
ing to the Investigations of the state
board of health, more than 100 per-
sons in population of 1890 are SUBJ
jects of this peculiar disease.
Juneau and ROssiter, the only ham,
lets in the township, lie at the base
of Canoe ridge, at an elevation of 1909
feet above sea level. The former has
a population Of 80, and every third
inhabitant is afflicted with the disease.
and of this number four are cretins
or dwarfs, made so by the ravages of
the disease. While Juneau has long
been settled and the history of the
golter reaches back three generations,
Rossiter is a mining town that grew
up within the last five years. There
the disease has appeared, showing
conclusively to the physicians who
made the investigation that it is epi-
demic.
The attention of the medical profess
sion was called to this remarkable con-
dition through DR.. w. w. Keen of this
city. In October, 1903. he performed
an operation for the removal of goi-
ter upon patient from that locality.
In asking the history of the case DR..
Keen learned that there were four
others similarly afflicted in the same
family. Further investigation showed
its widespread prevalence there, and
upon DR.. Keen's solicitation the state
board Of health sent Drs. Alfred D.
Allen and F. D. Patterson to make a
thorough investigations
Superficial investigation showed
that almost 10 per cent of the inhab-
itants are subjects of the disease.
and healthy persons moving into the
region soon become affected. In a
family of nine persons four are goiter
victims, and on the streets one may
see at any time scores of those sadly
afflicted.
The investigation showed that the
disease is peculiar to Canoe township,
and confined entirely to the elevated
section.
There are also several instances of
marked golfers in persons who were
absolutely we'll before going to Rossi-
ter from nongoitrous places.
The cause of the disease is attrib-
uted to the water, which is impreg-
mated with salts of limestone and mag
nesia. An analytical examination of
the water by DR.. Henry Lehman shows
large percentage of both salts.

SENATE AND HOUSE LEADERS TO
DISCUSS RAILROAD PROBLEM
AT WHITE HOUSE.
Extra Session May Be Called in Oc-
tober to Take Up Tariff
Revision.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-President
Roosevelt's. campaign for supervision
of railroad rates is bearing fruit more
quickly than he anticipated. He learn
of some sort at this session of con-
gress, in addition to the Cooper
Quarles bill, and called conference
of senate and house leaders for Thurs
day night at the White House, where
the matter will be discussed.
There is still division in senate and
house on the matter and the railroad
men consulted have not agreed. OF
course, the railroad men prefer to have
things as they are, but they realize
that the president has the people with
him and they are disposed to compro-
mise, if they can, rather than to make
a fight that will result in defeat and
possibly more stringent regulations.
discussion by the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce, en-
larges the powers Of the interstate
commission to fix rate where it finds,
on complaint, that there has been dis
elimination. 1t practically makes the
interstate commerce commission a
court of equity and leaves the burden
of appeal upon the railroads.
There is talk of placing the commits
sion under the department of COM
merce, and thus subjecting it to execu-
tive control.
As to Tariff Revision.
Communications from alt parts Of
the country are pouring in upon SEN
presidents policies, tariff readjust-
ment is by no means forgotten at the
White House or by the congressional
leaders.
The letters are principally from
reasons why there should be changes
in the rates of duty on certain arti-
cles, due to changed commercial con-
ditions. The resolutions adopted few
days ago by the political committee
of the Union League club of New
York, calling for an investigation as
to what changes should be made in
the tariff, have attracted a great deal
of attention among republican leaders
here. The Union league is a high
class club whose members are all re-
publicans
The president believes he has pub
lie opinion with him, and now he wants
to secure, if he can, the cordial CO.

The chances are he will get it in
good time

THE OLD DARBY "MAMMY."
The Was Member of the Family
With Standing and Influence.

The nanny was perhaps the most
important of the servants, as she was
also the closest intimate of the family.
She was, indeed, an actual member of
the household. She was usually Sc
lected in her youth to be the compan-
ion of the children by reason of her
being the child of some favored SER
want and, as such, likely to possess
sense, amiability, judgment, and the
qualities which gave promise of char
acter and efficiency. So she grew up
in intercourse with the girls of the
family, and when she married she be-
came in turn, the nurse and assistant
to the nanny, and then the nanny
of her young mistress children, and
after of their children.
She has never been adequately de-
scribed. Chiefly l fancy, because it
was impossible to describe her as she
was.
Who may picture mother? We may
dab and dab at it, but when we have
done our best We know that we have
stuck on a little point, and the eternal
verify stands forth like the eternal
verify of the Holy Mother, outside our
conception, only to be apprehended in
our highest moments and never to be
truly pictured by pen or pencil
So, no one can describe what the
nanny was, and only those can ap-
prehend her who were rocked on her
generous bosom. slept on her bed, fed
at her table. were directed and con-
trolled by her. watched by her un-
sleeping eye and led by her precepts in
the way of truth, justice and human
ity.
She was far more than a servant
She was member of the family IN
high standing and of unquestioned in
fluence. She was her mistress coadju-
tress and her wise adviser and where
the children were concerned she was
next to her in authority.
My fathers nanny, old Krenda,
was said to have been an African
princess, and whether there was any
other foundation for the idea than her
commanding presence and character l
know not; but these were unquestion-
able. Her aphorisms have been hand

LARGEST CROWD
OF ENTIRE Week
ATTENDED THE CARNIVAL
LAST NIGHT THE SHOWS
CROWDED
RUMOR is DENIED
That the Company Will be Here
Next Week-Redmen Hope to
Clear Expenses.

by Ear the largest crowd of the
week assembled last night at the car
nival to do justice to the first good
evening that the weather man CAV.
AS early as half past six long lines of
people were awaiting outside the
gates until the ticket selling began
and these lines were REINFORCED by
crowds which came on every car. AS
soon as the gates were opened the
crowd poured through and the carni-
val grounds were soon filled to over
flowing. For at least an hour a steady
stream poured through the gates I'M
til the grounds inside were filled
with great mass Of people. For the
first time this week also the carnival
company and the Red Men made
money. 1t was bitter gall indeed to
the Red Men to see, by the huge
crowd that was there last evening,
just how much money they had ost
by the inclemency of the weather the
earlier part of the week. The booths
were we'll patronized, the Ferris
wheel was kept going all the time
with its large loads and the shows,
all Of them, were crowded to the
doors with people. "Maamie and
"Humpty-Dumpty' and the "Ani-
NAL Arena' seem to draw the lar
gest crowds. On the platforms of
these three shows large numbers of
people were waiting all the time to
rush in after each performance and
secure seats for the next.
The remainder of the shows also
did very we'll and the carnival man.
ayers and the Red Men express
themselves greatly pleased with the
attendance both at the carnival
grounds and the shows. Yesterday af-
ternoon the crowd, composed of
mostly women and children, was not
so large but, as Red Man said, two
such attendances every day would
put everyone connected with the af-
fair on easy street for considera-
BILE period. Speedy's high dive at
tracted a great deal of attention and
large per centage Of the crowd
stayed until late in order not to miss
it.
1t has been authoritatively denied
that the carnival company will stay
here next week for the first three
days, as they have an engagement at
Marion. It is not known exactly how
the Red Men will come out but it is
probable that they will make expen-
ses if the crowds this afternoon and
evening are as large as those Of yes
terday. The rumor that the carnival
would stay here part Of next week
sprang from good authority but on
account Of the inability to cancel
their engagement the carnival mana
gers will leave tomorrow for Marion
The crowd tonight ought to be one
Of the largest Of the season. The
weather is fine and the carnival will
be at its best.

ton to Chicago to tell why the Filipinos
should not be granted self-government.
Every reason he advanced was advanced
in the case OF the Cubans, and yet the
Cubans seem to be dong fully as well
as our forbears did when they first
tackled The job. 1t is interesting to note,
too, that Secretary Tafts reasons for
not granting independence to the
Filipinos are curiously like those adj
vanced by George III, and Lord North
when the matter CT colonial independ-
ence was under consideration. With
very slight pharaphrasicg, King Georges
reasons for not granting independence
to the American colonies could be used
as the administration reasons for
governing the Filipinos without their
consent.
