MILK REPORT
State Board Of Health Proposes to Re.
port on the Subject.

DOVER, Jan 21-The annual report
Of the state Board of Health TO the
Legislature devotes the following sug-
gestions to the milk question:
Recent experience has shown that
even under conditions of ordinary farm
practice milk can be produced
which VIII not contain more than $4,000
bacteria per cubic centimeter, and 1t
may run as low as 1000; and, second,
that the number may he maintained
at these comparatively low figures FOR
a period Of twenty-four hours provided
the milk can be kept at temperature
of As degrees Fahrenheit
One Of the most necessary changes IS
that the Bureau of Milk Inspection
should be placed under the supervision
of the Board Of Health. At its head
should be a man competent to make
both chemical and meteorological
analyses Of milk, and one familiar with
modern dairy rules and operations
with sufficient sanitary training 10
make him a competent sanitary in
spector. No permits to sell milk, at
least in Wilmington, should be issued
to any one who will not live up to such
a. reasonable code as win insure clean.
wholesome product.
Milk is officially inspected IN only one
town in the state Of Delaware.

Another phase OF the Chandler divorce
case was heard in Court No. 4, Phladei-
nhia, yesterday. when there was an EFFORT

Mrs. Chandler. to have DR.. Chandler or
dered to pay his wife's counsel additional
fees or allow her an Increase in the

nrrearages Of the monthly allowance Of
Ssj. which the articles OF separation stipu-
lated should be paid by the doctor. The

Chandler was violating the separation
agreement OF the previous spring by in
curing large store bills and using the
rent OF a property ir this city which hhC

FOXY PLUMBERS
TRAPPED BY BOARD
Hereafter Must Do All De-
paTtment Work in 80
Days

For some time certain plumbers Of the
city. Of whom the members of the
Board Of Health have fun knowledge.
havel been practicing a scheme that
is considered not only unjust and un-
fair to the city. but also to other
plumbers OF Wilmington as well and
as the practice has now become so ex-
tensive and IS working so many inius-
tices to all concerned and so seriously
hindering the work OF the Board of
Health. the members Of that body have
decided to put a stop to It and VIII
proceed IN the matter at once
A few plumbers have been taking
contracts for connecting houses with
sewers which connections have been
ordered by the Board Of Health. They
run these connections into the curb
line. then stop and keep putting off tho
work as long as they can. This is done
to hold the job. Other contracts are
accepted by these men, when, II they
attended TO the work already on hand
they would have more than they could
do. but they make the partial connec-
ton in order TO keep the other plumb
ers from getting the contract. This moi
delays the Board OF Health IN its cam
padgn against AN unconnected proper
ties but works an injustice to all th'
other plumbers who are honest enough
to complete as soon as possible th'
work they contract for when it is or
dered in the sewers.
After February %, all permits taker
out by plumbers. when such permits
are issued after an order OF the Boar,
Of Health, win have 10 be executed
within thirty days after being takei
out. If they are not the Board o.
Health viii ask the Street and Sewe
Department to withhold any furthe
permit from the plumbers failing Il
this work until such contracts they ma.
have on hand are completed. The Stree
and Sewer Department win compl,
with the request. All the licenses

to this effect. This It is thought, vii

MORE MONEY FOR
HEALTH OFFICERS

Within a short time the executive
officers Of the Board Of Health will be
receiving a very considerable increase
in their salary. for at the meeting Of
the Board yesterday an ordinance was
read, and adopted, providing that the
pay Of the executive officers he ad-
vanced to $500 a year. At present each
officer is receiving S720 a year.
The fact that the executive officers,
of whom there are four in the city. are
underpaid is admitted and the action
Of yesterdays meeting has been con-
templated for some time. The ordi-
nance win be presented to City Council
for adoption 1t is understood the
members Of Council are favorable to
the advance.
The Board Of Health heartily recon-
mends the measure and they endorsed
it with all the urgency they could.
Both Democratic and Republican boards
have admitted that the executive Off
GERS were not paid the salary their po-
sition warranted. as the position is one
Of the most important in the city.

BOARD OF HEALTH
HAS BUSY SESSION

For the first time in four weeks the
Board of Health held a meeting yes
terday, and there was a considerable
amount Of work transacted. the accu-
mutation of the intervening time.
The members are much pleased with
the number Of nuisances that are being
abated in all sections Of the city as a
result OF their campaign against these
things. Principally among them is the
connecting with sewers Of houses not
already connected. This, it can readily
be seen. avoids many offensive nui-
sances and the manner in which the
owners have been complying with the
orders of the board IS very encourag-
ing. Only about thirty-hve houses in
the city out Of over a hundred are un-
connected, and by spring it is hoped
to have them all connected.
The members are working on an or
dinance to prevent splitting on the side
walks Of the city. and yesterday it was
decided to include in the ball all public
places. such as theatres, halls, side
walks. street cars. crossing, and in fact
all place frequented by the public The
ordinance will be ready I'm a short time
to be presented to City Council.
on Monday next another meeting OF
the board will be held and at that time
DR.. A. Robin. city bacteriologist, will be
present to present some measures he
wants the board to adopt regarding the
quality of milk to be served in the city
The report of Treasurer William T.
Groves was as follows: Amount on

PONDER TELLS OF
KINGSTON LOOTING
Arrived at Scene of Horror in
Time to See Burning
City

Captain James Durie, OF the steam-
ship Bella, of the Atlantic Fruit Com
pany, has arrived in Philadelphia, and
states that his vessel was at Port Mo-
rant, forty miles from Kingston. when
the earthquake occurred. He says he
was lying on his couch and the Bella
was lifted out Of the water The shock
occurred at $50 p. IN. on January "a.
One Of the piers sank into the water
and another Captain Durie says, was
lifted ten feet I'm the air. on the fol-
| lowing day Captain Durie says, he Wis
/ tied Kingston. and found the city In
ruins. Everybody. even the officials.
seemed to have lost their heads through
panic
James w. Ponders, Of this city. who
was a guest Of Captain Durie, returned
to his home here last night Mr.. Pom
der said:
"The scene on Harbor street was all
most indescribable. Everywhere there
were drunken natives searching amid
the ruins for plunder Three hundred
Of them were swarming about the ruins
Of big wholesale liquor warehause
llike flies about molasses. In every
direction there were streams OF pillag-
ers bearing on their heads cases Of rum
and gin, while others had their arms
and pockets filled with bottles.
MANY could not wait to carry the
liquor away, but drank of it then and
there. in the presence of the dead and
dying, until they became stupefied or
mad They fought among themselves
for. possession Of the liquor, and saw
more than one Of them stabbed to death
lby his fellows that they might secure
the loot that he was about 10 carry
away.
"They fought and rioted and sang
ana yelled about the ruins Of that ruin
ed warehouse with no one to interfere
and while the aged, decrepit and pusil-
! luminous Governor kept inside the
/ Kings House without issuing a single
mandate or making a single suggestion
to restore order. I am not at all sur
prised that Rear Admiral Davis found
him an migrate and a bloclhead. He
is more than so years old and should
not be intrusted with the governing OF
a coral reef.
"Only last year he caused comment Ia
Jamaica by smuggling a pretty youne
English woman, about SO years his
/ junior. into Kingston and then, through
the back door Of n church. In ordet "a
marry her. He has been Governor Of
the island about eighteen months oI
two years. but not until the earthquake
did he have anything Of cosequence &c
do. He is utterly incompetent and un-
fit for even the Governorship OF
Jamaica. and he should be brought I'd
book for his insolent attitude toward
Rear Admiral Davis.
"He is extremely unpopular In ia
maica and the manner in which hi
showed his appreciation Of the work oi
the American jackies IN restoring order
land clearing away debris at Kingston
will not raise him in the estimation Of
those he Is supposed to govern.
L know that the day We landed a
Kingston, which was before the Ameri
can war vessels got there, little les
than anarchy existed there"

a Simple Recipe.

Everybody in Cedarby owned that
Mrs. Hanson was the queen of cooks,
but they were likely to add that when
it came to explaining the processes by
which she arrived at her excellent re-
suits she left a good deal to be de-
sired.
"Your scalloped oysters are the best
we ever have at our church suppers or
anywhere, and you know it." said a
neighbor, endeavoring to win special
favor from this culinary goddess. ''Most
folks get 'em either too wet or too dry
/ tell 'em l don't know how you man.
age it so yours are always just right
don't suppose you could tell exactly
yourself"
"Why, yes, could" and Mrs. Han
son smiled indulgently at the eager
hopeful face of her neighbor. "All
do is butter the dish, put in a layer Of
oysters, sailed and peppered, then
layer of buttered crumbs, then a layeI
of milk and back to oysters again
Easy as pie. It's"
"a layer of milkr' faltered the
neighbOr.
"why, yes" said Mrs. Hanson cheer
fully. That's what makes 'em about
right-layer of oysters, layer o.
crumbs and layer of milk. Leastways
that's what do, and you say you like
'em."-Youth's Companion.
