Erys1pelas.
Erysipelas is an acute CONTAGIOUS
disease caused by a specific germ called
the streptococcus Of Fehleisen, after
the man who first described its nature
The chief symptom OF this disease 10
a peculiar spreading Inflammation Of
the skin. which Is accompanied by
fever. headache, and general ill-feeling.
The fever is preceded by chill. some.
times slight, but often very severe. In
ordinary simple cases the Inflammation
attacks only the surface Of the skin,
but in severe cases the deeper struc
lures are attacked.
Although erysipelas is one Of the
contagious diseases. it Is not one to be
much feared by persons In robust
health; but anything that tends to
weaken the resisting forces Of the con.
stitution will help to bring on an at
tack Of erysipelas in those who are sus-
ceptible to it. This susceptibility 10

and these persons may suffer an At
tack on the least exposure to it.
Great care should be taken 10
shield from this contagion all those
who have recently undergone surgical
operations, as they are peculiarly sus-
ceptible to its poison, and it is one of
the most usual cases Of blood poisoning
and wound infection.
Erysipelas is not often found in the
very young, and in old age it Is still
more rare.
An erysipelas patient should be
strictly isolated. and all dressings or
articles which have come In contact
with him should be disinfected or
burned. The sick-room should be dis
infected and fumigated before it Is oc-
cupied by others. Any one nursing
such a case should be scrupulousiy
careful not to 60 near d person who
has undergone an operation or who

treatment everything must be done to

the engine and balance of the train
remained on the track.
The dead met their fate instantly,
being crushed to death without a

THIS determined Mr.. Sage to devote
his time in business in Wall street,

the present method of trading in

which he dealt later on a colossal
scale. When he purchased seat on

INSURANCE RATE HuREAsEp.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wire
Chicago, Ill, March 22--The Grand
Lodge officers Of tho Ancient Order Of
United Workmen decided yesterday, at a
meeting here, TO raise the insurance rate
OF the order for members more than So
years old. The increase will make tho
rate 80 per cent higher than at present.
Tho cause for the action was the in
ability 10 meet death claims that have
accrued during the last three months.
The officers believe that with the additional
funds resulting from the increased rate the
outstanding claims will be met, and they
hope that at the end of the year they will
be able to return TO the old schedule. lt
was the unanimous opinion of the Grand
Lodge officers that any fraternal organi-
zation in good standing ought 10 be able
to pay death claims within 80 days after
proofs aro filed. This the Morkmen have
not been able 10 do lately.
