elnht cases. Seven Deaths.

Secretary Shumway. OF the state
BOARD OF health, has received report
of the outbreak of cerebro-spinal men
nights in Star township, Altrim coun-
", where there were eight cases with
seven deaths. The disease there has
been termed spotted fever, such as has
been spreading death in New York city.
DR.. Shumway will urge restrictive
measures on the part OF all health
officers. The outbreak occurred in the
Clymer camp of the Antrim Lumber
Co. OF Mancelona, located at Alba, on
the G. II. & |. railroad. The first case
was that Of Nellie McGarey, who was
first taken down about the first OF
February, and was diagnosed as CON
gestion OF the brain. The disease grad
ually spread in the McGarey family
and from this TO others. Health Officer
John II. Zeigler, .of Alba, in reporting
the deaths. says that these people live
in poorly constructed houses and have
suffered from the severe weather of
the winter Secretary Shumway will
insist that all cases in the future be
isolated and quarantined.

WHO OWNS THE RAILRoApsy

Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics
showing that 5,174,71S depositors in
savings banks OF six eastern states
are directly interested in the joint
ownership of $442,354,0S6 OF steam
railroad securities, that insurance
companies doing business in Massa-
ohusetts hold $S45. OBS of steam

ing up TO more than billion and a
half dollars, about one-sixth of the
entire capital invested in railroad
property. These investments repre-
sent the savings of the masses, there
being twenty million holders of life in

many more of fire insurance policies,
and ali even greater number of de-
positors in banking and trust institu-

Rcckefeller's Gift.

During a discussion as 10 the advisa-
bility OF accepting the Rockefeller
100000 gift To the congregational
missions it transpired that all but So
600 of the money had been used. f. II.
Wiggin, treasurer of the American
board, said; The decision OF the pru-
dental committee is final. Notice of
Rockefeller's gift was received Feb
ruary 10 and accepted by the sub
committee and vote of thanks was
sent to Rockefeller. Immediately after.
on February n, appropriations were
made and il is not likely that the re-
port will be rejected. The report was
laid over until April II. but out of def
erence to the protesting clergymen."
1t is generally admitted that the
gift will be accepted at the meeting.
S. C.. Dodd. chief Standard Oil at
torney, taking up the cudgel for John
D. Rockefeller. aims a long statement
at the critics of his 100000 gift TO
missions. and especially at Rev. Wash.
ington GLADDEN.. He says: IF false.
the charges made are vile: made by a
minister, doubly vile. No one has ever
proved John ID. Rockefeller's millions
were made dishonesty"

Not to Be Learned.

Nine. Lii Lehman, at the Savoy
MOTEL in New York, was visited by a
magazine representative who wanted
one of the ever-interesting articles on
How to Learn TO Sing She gave
the interviewer long and interesting
talk in her pretty, broken German
after earnestly attempting TO persuade
her that an article on her favorite
anti-vivsection cause would be far
more to the point.
The interviewer wrote the article
and took 1t once more to Nine. Leh-
mann who carefully examined it and
suggested some corrections. A second
time the manuscript was returned to
her, so that it might have not the
slightest error. Next day, upon in
quiry, il was found that Nine. Leh.
mann had left the copy in the hotel
office. 1t bore several careful add.
tons and corrections, and note was
inclosed. The note said:
