the smallpox patient lives during the

WITHHELD FROM THE PRESS.
Barometrical Readings Not Furnish
ed The Public.

Prof. Willis l.. Moore, the chief Of
the Weather Bureau has admitted shat
he had issued the order TO WITHHOLD
ofiicial harometrical readings from
the new spapers. He assumed resyon
slbIlity for this action on the grounds
OF expediency and economy. he de-
cIared that local barometric readings
are OF little Importance to any ono ex.
cept to trained meteoroloeist and
then only when used in connection
with readings from all parts OF the
country, in determining weather fore.
casts. TO such persons as desire the
readings for the purpose OF correcting
their own barometers, he says the in
formation will be furnished by the
bureau and its branches.
1t has been regulation of the
bureau for several years not to furaiai
the newspapers with these readings,
said Prof. Moore. "There are gnly
one or two places where it is of any
Importance Whatever, and there Is is
asked for. In fact, | did not know
until recently that it was given out
at any place. A few days ago Phila-
delphia asked for the readings, and
and Treplied that the information was
not disseminated by the bureau. They
replied that New York received them
and upon Investigation l found that
this statement was true | thsreupon
issued the order that they should not
be given out in New York except to
such persons as might want them for
their own private information, 20 cor.
rect their own barometeTs.
Time and experience have taught
us that these local readings are Of
little value aud that there is a great
deal of other information which can
be and is dissem mated in IT'S place
which is of Importance. and il is for
this reason that the order was Issued.
a false value has been placed upon
these barometric readings. They are
accessible 10 all the maritime and COM
mercial agencies. where people litter
ested can see them. The data ars in
dicated on the isoboric lines on the
big maps which are on exhibition in
these places, and this meets all the
requirements except those persons who
who have their own baTomettrs, and
the information is accessible TO item
if they will ask for it +"

A School Order.

An order as been issued at the oity
public schools by the Health Depart.
ment that no children in the vicinity
Of the smallpox case on West street
extended shall be permitted 10 attend
school. Vicinity is taken to mean
0ny house above CT below the block
where the woman has the disease, and
many children who have 20 pass that
house on their way to school have
been shut out by tho cdict. The order
works a hardship upon some pupils
who are in the High School andfwho
are now compelled to remain at homo
for the next two or three weeks and
lose that time from school. The chill
dren living in the block whore the in.
fictitious disease is have not been per.
mitted TO attend school since the case
was reported. Certainly the school
books which belong TO the county and
are used by the children should not be
sent TO them if they are not permitted
themselves to attend school, and all
books should be disiufcctef.

LINGERING DEATH.
A Horse Dies Under Most Peculiar
Circumstances.

The devotion of one animal t. an
other wRsistrongly exemplifieds Satur-
day last by one horse's affection for
another animal in distress. Jack, ~
a horse belonging to Joseph Rawlings
fell down an old we'll at Bay Ridge,
presumably Saturday morning. As the
horse did not come mp at noon for
corn, as was his usual custom, and as
another horse used on the place and
belonging to Mr. George r. Buflham
tnat was with Jack also did mot come
up for his feed until night. Mr. Raw
lings became suspioions and made -an
gestigation. when Mr.. Bunham's
horse came mp to feed at night.
Mr.. Rawlings felt there must be
something wrong with his horse
Jack. and he made a tour of the
farm 10 discover his whereabouts.
After long and tedious search the
animal was found at the bottom of an
old we'll which is about 80 feet deep
As soon as the discovery was made Mr.
Rawlings realizing his inability to
get the horse out of the we'll without
assistance. came to town for help. BY
the time he got back TO Bay Ridge,
however. the horse had died from ex-
posure, being in about five feet of
water with his head an front feet out
of the water He had probably fallen
in the we'll backward and head first
1t is evident that the other horse. rea.
lizing his companions distress, stood
by the we'll during the dinner hour
and refused to go mp for his corn so
long as Jack, his companion, was in
the well.
At night, however. hunger overcame
the animal and he left Jack" in the
we'll to go up to be fed. Seeing one
horse without the other led to the dis
covery of the accident Jack" was
a very gentle animal and the little
children of MIR. Rawlings were accus.
toned to play about his feet, the horse
never harming them. The animal S,
death was a lingering and shocking
one, and he was probably in the well
from eight TO ten hours. possibly
longer

The following is an extract from the

The Library was moved to its new

The Library occupies four large rooms
IN which there are three different en-.

and statutes of sister states and teri
tories. Maryland reports, United
States Statutes ard digests are in the
Law Library the United States reports
and documents, periodicals and smedi-
cal works are in the room adjoining
the Law LIBRARY on the northwest, the
hooks Of reference are in the Reading
Room while the miscellaneous library
and public documents of all states are
in the room on the northeast corner
OF the building Since the law library
is the part chiefly used and there are
two entrances to that, it is there the
Librarian is obliged to be constantly on
hand tor the purpose of getting books
from the shelves and replacing them,
attending to the receipt and shipment
uf hooks, aud other business acting
as custodian generally.
The miscellaneous books and works
Ul references are in the rooms to which
tHare is a separate entrance from the
main hall and l have been forced 30
keep that entrance closed. Ii is Cb-
viOuslY impossible to have that valu.
able part of the library open to all
comers without any guardian what
ever. II is desirable that the library
should be open to the public as place
for reading and study, elsewhere
than in the law library, but this can
not bee done unless there is person in
charge of the Reading Room while
the Librarian is engaged as above men,
toned in the law library. This state
of affairs has been a source of annoy
