COntagion and Infection.

The terms contaglon and infection
are too often used promiscuously,
though they are by no means synony-
nous. The dissemination of mycotic
diseases takes place in different ways.
There are those which cannot be COM
municated from person to person, but
spread only by the microbic cause in
vading the individual. To this class
belong malarial fevers produced by
spasmodia. There are, secondly, those
which are not communicable from per-
son. to person, but through external
carriers only, such as soil, water, food.
air, clothing and utensils. To that class
belong yellow fever and Aslatic cholera.
They are infectious. There are, final
ly, those which may be transmitted d.
rectly from person or Indirectly
through carriers. To this class belong
scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria, va
riola, influenza, eryslpelas and vari.
celia, perhaps also whooping cough.
They are contagious and infectious.

SANTA FE MAKES DENVER
An OVERLAND COMMON POINT
Goods From Asjatic Ports VIII Here
after Be Shipped Direct to Colo
RADIO Points.

The announcement was made yester-
day by the local officials of the Santa
zee road that beginning with the new
month Denver will be made an overland
common point for the reception of
goods shipped from the Orient. 1t is
the present custom of the transconti-
mental roads in case of goods shipped
from Asiatic ports and consigned to
Denver and other points in Colorado to
carry them to the Missouri River and
reship them to the original destination,
thus compelling the merchants to whom
they were shipped to pay the local
freight rate from the Missouri River
to the Colorado delivery point
Recently the merchants of Denver
registered complaint with the Santa
re people, threatening to carry the
matter to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, but before this threat
could be carried out the railroad Of
ficials announced that Denver would
be made an overland common point. In
the readjustment of the rates from the
Orient the Santa Fe officials announce
that the following points in the Orient
will be affected: Nagasaki, Kobe. Moji
and Yokohama. Japan; Hongkong.
Annoy. Foochow and Shanghai. China
also from Singapore, Calcutta Colombo
and Ceylon.

BLAME CURRY FOR

LOS ANGELES, Sept. Through a
blunder of the Secretary OF State. hun
dreds of corporations in California will
be liable to fine and possible revoca-
tion of their charters through failure
to pay their license tax OF $40 each. as
provided by special act of the last
Legislature. Tomorrow is the last day
of grace. although there is mistaken
notion, caused by the blunder in the
Office of the Secretary of State. that
the law does not become effective until
September l of next year.
The last Legislature passed bill pro-
viding for the levying of a license tax
of $50 per annum on every corporation
doing business in the State To give
Secretary Curry an opportunity of no.
tifying all corporations of the action
of the Legislature September 1, 1905,
was fixed as the expiration OF the time
within which the first years taxes
might be paid. Thereafter this tax
shall be payable on July i of each year.
The secretary sent out notice that
the corporation tax would be due and
payable between the first day of July

Cupples station together.
st Louis should be proud Of the sta
tion.' said Symmes. THE residents of
St Louis cannot appreciate it until they
have visited the wholesale districts of
other large cities of the country. Just
think of it, Goods are received of the
cars and shipped direct from the whole
sale house, saving drayage expenses
both ways. That alone is a sufficient
argument in favor of the centraliza-

cinity of the railroads

is complete There must be thirty or
forty concerns doing business in that
section. and the goods may be sent to
any railroad, although there may be

ment. The terminal facilities are per-
feet"
Symmes said that his return to
San Francisco he would take up with
the wholesale merchants the Cupples
station system and that probably a
corps of engineers would be sent here
to work out plans for similar estab-
lishment

MONTERREY. Mexico Sept. 1.-The
continued publication of news dis
patches and magazine articles in the
United States of reports of an alleged
impending revolution against the ex-
listing Government of Mexico has
thoroughly aroused the Federal and
State authorities of this country.
In replying today to an article on
that subject in late issue of Harper's
Weekly General Bernardo Reyes, Gov
ernor of Nueva Leon, who was named
in the article as a leader of the So
called revolutionary movement, said
In my character as a soldier and as

The people themselves would rise to
annihilate any person so foolish as to
consider a revolutionary attempt, no
matter what his position. The people
themselves would punish without pity
any man with the intent to betray his
interest in the country and his patriot
ism by involving 1t ins a revolution.

School Directors Assert
That Protesting Instructors
Have Violated the Law
'PEDAGOGUES ASK
BOARDA QUESTION
Inquire Why Members Have
Not Thought Of Reducing
Their Own Salaries

More than fifty teachers arc in
danger of losing their positions as a
result of their open rebellion against
the Board of Education. They met
yesterday morning at the Plymouth
Church, Post and Buchanan streets,
and prepared to submit formal pro-
test against the recent lowering of
their salaries and another concerning
the disposition of something more than
$4,000 in money that was sent from
New York teachers for the relief of
local instructors in want as a result
of the fire. Members of the board hold
that the action of the teachers in OPEN
ly revolving without first laying their
complaints before the board is con-
trary to law and it is strongly limited
that a number of vacancies will be the
result
Since the recent reduction in salaries
there has been considerable complaint
from teachers, who claim that the ad-
vanced cost of living in San Francisco
makes it almost impossible for them
TO exist unless they are paid at least
as much formerly. Grammar and
primary teachers received their reduc-
tion in the form of a notification that
they would not be paid for eight weeks
vacation, although for the time they
actually work they will receive their
regular salary. High School teachers
and principals suffered reduction in
their salaries in addition to losing their
pay during vacations.
