NEW CAUSE FOR TYPHOID
Persons May Garry Bacili for Long
 Period without Harm.

Persons May Garry Bacilli for Long
 Period without Harm.
 The report of the state board of health for the month of August contains note by the secretary, Dr. J. H. Townsend, regarding typhoid fever and the possi- bility of it's spread through persons who carry the bacilli without any lnconven- fence to themselves. Dr. Townsend writes:
 Health officers in investigating the cause of typhoid fever have a new prob lem to consider, in the chronic bacillus carrier, which has hitherto been unrec- ognized and which it is well to boar in mind.
 It has become known chiefly through the studies of some German investiga- tors that the typhoid fever bacillus may persist in the human body for some time after an attack of typhoid fever. Cases have been reported where the patients have been carriers of the disease for years without suffering any inconveu- fence themselves. Kutscher thinks that about four per cent of typhoid patients become chronic carriers Of the specific bacllh which they excrete in both urine and faeces for long periods, and cases have been cited ill which tho specific bacilli were isolated from the gall bla,.- der seventeen and even twenty years after recovery. Apparently healthy people have been found, who have never had typhoid fever, but yet are the car riers of bacilli, which may be given off from time to time to infect susceptible persons-this tolerance being possibly acquired by repeated invasions of atten- uated or mild bacilli. All members of family may acquire this tolerance, if their water supply Is affected, and be carriers, while a visitor not being ini- mune may acquire the disease.
 ''Soper of New York reports case which has been described in the public press as typhoid factory This was woman who had had typhoid fever about six years prior to her discovery Since that time she had worked as a cook in several families, and twenty eight cases of typhoid occurred ill the families in which she worked. The ev- idence against her seemed so strong that she was forcibly removed to hos pital, where an examination confirmed the suspicion that she was a typhoid carrier.

 Forgot to Settle
 Martin Langs has resorted to legal proceedings to collect bill for board etc. against Burbank Yung the gay Celestial who spent few weeks in town last summer. Horace Stevens is also endeavoring to have him settle for the damages which resulted when an auto mobile driven by the Chinaman ran into and partially demolished wagon ocou- pied by MT. Stevens and Seneca Strong. The latter bill Yung promised to pay but failed to do so. And there others in town whose bills against him are still unpaid, including his fellow countrymen who conducts the laundry, and who refers to the gay native of the pigtail land in terms anything but compliment tary. He claims that his father is the president of the Great Western railroad of China. A Hartford woman named Burbank, has charge of the Chinaman's s affairs and it is with her that cores pondence is now in progress, looking to settlement of the obligations. The President in Town
 Charles s. Mellen, president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, alighted from the north-bound parlor car train here Saturday after noon. He was met by three ladies, three children, one automobile, one ohaffeur and one rain storm. All but the latter came from the country home in Stockbridge to tote him back up there over the route where the Canaan extsn- sion of the Berkshire Street Railway don't extend. While waiting for the rain to slaoken, the party occupied points of vantage on the rear platform oe the station. The president leaned gracefully up against crate of bananas (so far as we saw, he didn't take any) and at times seemed to be engaged in dark brown study, no doubt pondering deeply on how many additional shekels would now be dropping into New Haven coffers with merry jingle had that extension been built when everyone supposed it was to be. And then, again, mebbe he didn't think anything of the kind. When the rain slackened the party started on a muddy ride to Berk- shire County. =.
