MARYLAND HEALTH BOARD ACTS.
As a Result Spread OF smallpox In somer-
set County Has Been Checked.

So NNAAtN mas noen OnfCkeQs
The Maryland authorities have taken
precaution TO check the spread of
smallpox, which was recently discov-
cred in the lower part of the Peninsula.
The Delaware State Board of Health
established a quarantine against the
infested places, and as the disease is
dying out, no further apprehension is
felt.
DR. Marshall "a Price of the Mary
land Board of Health has made an in
vestigation of the situation in the
vicinity of Cris6eld and Marion
Station. He said he thought the
people were unduly frightened. He
had no apprehension of an epidemic,
as the warm weather will have a
tendency to check the spread of the
disease.
lie found nine cases of smallpox in
Crisheld, some on the road to recovery,
and six other people who have a sus-
picious eruption. lie found six cases
at Marion Station, 10 miles from Cris-
field. One white woman is affected,
while the others suffering from the
disease are negroes.
DR.. Price said he had talked to the
county commissioners of Somerset and
AhtlI Nouhctl anu duNlctQ budb lue
patients be put in the pesthouse, near
Crisfeld. There is room for eight
persons. He also advised that the
others be put in tents in the open. and
suggested that the authorities make
provision for 20 patients. He said the
trouble was traced to a negro, who had
the disease six weeks ago, having con-
tracted it in Virginia.
The Crisheld Times reports the sit
uation we'll in hand, and every pre-
caution taken 10 prevent the spread of
the contagion. q" A detention hospital
with the proper guards has been es-
tablished about two miles from town, :"
it says, and this is separated from MS
by over mile of water and about the
same distance of marsh. A number
of tents have also been erected on
the hospital grounds ana this will give
all the room necessary for PATIENTS.
Drs. Simonson and Coulbourne have
taken out all who have shown any
appearance of this disease and have
quarantined the houses and are fumi-
eating them with the best materials
known to medical science. All old
rubbish has been burned and the
houses cleaned from roof to cellar. All
parties who have como into contact
with the patients OF in any way been
associated with them are kept under
the strictest guard. and will not be
released until the quarantine is
lifted. -

sAeAo1oUs ANIMALS.
Fine Collection OF Elephants With the
Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Barnum & Bailey Circus.
If anyone doubts that animals-or
some Of them, at least-have imagina-
ton, they should watch the little ele-
plants that appear in the battle scene
during the performance OF the Barnum
d Bailey circus in Wilmington next
Saturday, May 18th.
This is one of the most remarkable
trained elephant acts ever seen. and
never fails to evoke a great deal of APP
plause There are eight little Singapore
elephants in the herd and they give a
realistic representation of a battle in
marching, countermarching, adj
vanclng, retreating, firing cannon, simu-
lating injury and death; and finally
when the captain, impersonated by the
trainer falls apparently with a mortal
wound, two of the elephants pick him
up, and preceded by an elephant bear
ing a flag Of truce, carry the injured
officer out of the ring, down the track
and into a place of safety. Those who
have seen this act marvel at the intelli-
gence Of these strange beasts; wonder at
the patient persistence that has made
their training possible, and rub their
eyes and question whether, after all, t
u: not a dream-a figment Of the imagina-
ton.
The real climax of this act, however,
is never seen by the audience. 1t occurs
IN the elephant corral in the menagerie
tent. In the performance the elephant
that carries the flag of truce has ap-
parently been wounded, and he hobbies
away on three legs One foot is held in
the air Instead, however, of dropping
It as soon as he reaches the door Of the
menagerie, the elephant continues to
hobble on three legs until he arrives at
the corral. Even there he does not drop
this wounded" leg until his trainer, Il
J. Mooney, speaks soothingly, and ruts
the injured member.
He really thinks he has been shot
says trainer Mooney, "and if ] didn
rub his leg he would hold it up all night

TAX DISPUTE.

The unpaid taxes of the Delmarvia
Telephone Co. was the subject dis
cussed last evening by the members of
the finance committee of City Council
and the officials of the Wilmington
Light, Power and Telephone Co. For
two years the old company refused to
pay It's taxes on the ground that the
city had increased the assessment after
valuation had been agreed upon.
The company is willing to settle on
the basis which it claims was agreed
upon, but not upon the assessment as
it has stood for the past two years.
II the city allows the telephone COM
pany to settle upon the old valuation
it will make a difference of several
thousand dollars in the taxes paid by
the company. Not being sufficiently
familiar with the matter the finaLce
committee did not take action last
evening. The members desire 10 see
what is right before acting.

Although the Water Department de-
cided, at its meeting on Monday after
noon, TO officially supervise the using
OF lire hydrants by people not con-
nected with the department, and it
was generally understood that man
was TO be selected for the purpose,
Chief Engineer Theodore A. Leisen
says it is not the intention Of the de-
partment to appoint new man espe-
cially for that duty. He has discussed
the matter with the commissioners and
they are of the opinion that all that is
necessary is to designate one of the
present employees TO attend to the work
whenever call is made.
The department has sent letters to
other city departments which are
likely 10 take water from the fire
hydrants, informing them that when
ever it is desired to open a hydrant
notice must be sent to the Water De
partment, which will send a man TO
attend TO the opening Of the plug. It
is the intention of the department to
have men within call who can be sent
to look after the opening of plugs
when they are needed, but at other
times they will be engaged with other
duties.
In discussing the matter with a
reporter of Every Evening Chief Enqi
neer Leisen said the board took this
action because some Of the hydrants
had been found TO be damaged, and,
while it was not always known who
was responsible for the trouble, it
was deemed advisable to exercise
supervision over the plugs at all times
when they are opened for any purpose
except for fire purposes. Mr.. Lessen
did not charge any city department
with damaging the plugs. but he felt
that il the Water Department had a
representative present every time a
plug was opened the responsibility
would be with that department.
At the present time the only city
department, except the Water Depart
ment and the Fire Department, having
regular use for the plugs, is the Street
and Sewer Department, which is per
mitted TO use water therefrom for
flushing streets, CUTTERS and sewers.
| IL is said that there have been oc-
casions when the Board of Health took
water from the plugs for sanitary pur-
poses, but that has not occurred lately.
and such cases are exceptional.
