CENTRALIA FREE
FROM SMALLPOX

The smallpox epidemic at Centrala
is believed to have been effectually
stamped out and it is expected to close
up the emergency hospital by the end
of the present week Three patients
are in the hospital, and all ara con
valescent. These patients will he dis
charged 10y Friday
Dr. D. W. Blake expects to leave for
his home at Gloucester, n j., and
Miss Huplitz Will probably leave for
her home in Philadelphia, Saturday
morning.
The disease first broke out at Cen
tralia about the middle of September,
and altogether there were forty-two
cases, ten having been developed be-
fore the hospital was opened. The
hospital was opened November /, and
all told there were thirty-one cases
treated there There was one death
before the hospital opened and four at
the hospital, two of them adults and
two of them children, total of five
deaths in all. This is a remarkable
record. The cost to the borough of
Centralia and the township of Couyng-
ham, the cases from both districts hav-
ing been treated at the hospital, will
be a very heavy one, and cannot be
computed at this time.
Thirty FIVE of the cases were from
the borough of Centralis, and seven
from Conyngham township, Columbia
county. Only six of the Conyngham
cases were treated at the hospital, the
other one not having been taken there.
The fact that the disease which has
brought so much trouble and distress
to the town has been stamped out, IS
"A matter of congratulation to all con-
cerned. The fight against the disease
has been IA hard and bitter one, and
the Centralia Board OF Health deserves
the thanks of the community for their
pers istent and unselfish labors to that
end

Decline of tuberculosis.

The National tuberculosis cOnven-
tion is to begin its sessions in Balti-
more on January %, eminent special
lists will take part, and the committee
in charge promises the most complete
collection of sanitary devices and the
most interesting pathological exhibit
yet presented There seems to be a
general movement in the United
States, Germany and Great Britain to
deal systematically with the dread
scourge and the New York Academy
of Medicine sustains the medical the
ory that consumption is on the de-
crease Within the last decade, in the
state Of Massachusetts alone. it was
stated in recent address before the
above named society, that mortality
from tuberculosis had been reduced
exactly one half - Between 1885 and
1902, notwithstanding the increase of
population, amounting to nearly one
half, the deaths from consumption in
Massachusetts declined from 5, $50 to
1856. In fifty years, since 1858. the
death rate per 10000 inhabitants OF
that state has declined from 427 to
1879. This is a strong argument as to
the decline Of consumption, which in
terests almost every family connec-
tion. An eminent London physician,
DR.. Hitler, of the public health board
of London. maintains that the change
which has been constantly going ION
in the lessening death rate from con
sumption constitutes one of the mark
ed features of the vital statistics of
civilized countries If the present rate
Of decrease in the mortality fr ON this
disease is contineud uniformly, con
sumption should wholly disappear
from England within the next half
century. The same rule applied to
Massachusetts would appear to show
in that state within even a shorter
period. Since 1898 its death rate from
consumption declined from %. per
10, 600 deaths to 1873. The white
plague" is obviously controllable, and
the fact is great achievcnt for medi-
cal science. The same is undoubtedly
true in the statement Of the deaths
from yellow fever in the Southern
states and the West Indies. 1t has
been exterminated in places where it
has had its home for centuries. Malaria
is no longer regarded as the abiding
curse of certain localities. Sanitary
engineering aud the advance in medi =
cal science are doing great work in
pulmonary and malarial disease.

Got a Quit Claim.

1t appears that the Mt. Carmel man
who sold his intended bride to a fel-
low countryman WASH such a greeny
after all, but a shrewd, foxy chap, who
made a good bargain out OF a bad one
1t appears that he had given the maid
ell presents valued at about twenty
dollars and secured marriage license
without getting her consent to become
his wife. When he found she was un-
willing to wed him, he shrewdly
brought about the deal by which he
secured the amount he had expended
on her in anticipation Of making her
his wife. The purchaser only got a
quit claim deed to Mary's affections,
and as she turns out TO be an Obdurate
lass, he finds himself out the price of
his investment

A Neird Incident.

Some years AGO the following strange
incident took place in a west end club:
There lay ON the table in one of the
rooms a list of members who had put
down their names for an approaching
house dinner. 4 workman on a ladder,
who was pJtting the finishing touches
TO the decoration of the ceiling, let fall
q single tiny splash Of red paint which
dropped on the first name on the list
and obliteratcd it as if with the stroke
Of a pen Some Of the members who
noticed tbls occurrence thought it a
very bad omen, others, like Hamlet, de
fed au@ury. But, curiously enough,
the member whose name had thus been
struck out was taken i'll the next day
and died in the club ON the night before
