GRIP GERMS

ATLANTIC CITY HEALTH OFF,
GER ADVISES MODERA-
TION IN THEM.

Atlantic City. ~ j., Jan %
kissing is blamed for spreading the
grip through the resort by Health
officer Somers. Within the last few
days a large number Of visitors and
residents have been attacked by the
disorder, and DR.. Sommers. who has
conducted careful investigation, Is
convinced that grip-charged germs
are scattered about through oscula-
tion DR.. Somers issued a public
warning against kissing today, as fol-
lows:
"In view OF the rapid spread OF
the grip throughout our city and IN
view OF the known fact that ocula-
ton commonly described as kissing,
is the most fruitful agent OF the
propagation Of the grip germs, It is
advised that temperance and mode
ration in respect 10 said practice
be more generally observed"
DR. somers says that kisses can
not be sterilized. and adds that full

TO TAX VALUE OF
ALL THE RAILROADS.
PLAN WILL PUT
GINGER INTO THE RATE
BILL.

Washington. Jan. St.-President
has decided TO add postscript TO
tho railroad rate bill OF last winter
that will make that radical meas
ure look mild I'm comparison.
The plan Is TO have tho inter
state commerce commission ascer-
tain the actual valuation OF every
railroad engaged In interstate com
merce and TO have rates fixed on
that basis so as TO give what the
commission shall decide Is n fair
retrun In proHts.
Properly speaking. while tho Hep
burn bill was measure to regulate
railroad rates, tho proposed amend
ment Is measure TO regulate rail-
road dividends. II put In operation II
would play the mischief with future
stock watering and other phases OF
that high finance now so dexterous-
ly practiced by Hill, Hartman,
Gould and other magnates.
II the original rate bill made tho
railroad magnates mad. this ono ia
calculated to drive them to fine
frenzy.

Tho advance notices, portraying
the beauties and all round excellence
OF "Parsifal" were lived up TO I'm
every instance and the huge throng
at the Elk's opera House last night
was highly pleased with the masterly
production. Nothing too compliment
tary can be said either ~ the play

There is apparently nothing lacking
in either instance. The three prin-
cipal roles "Parslfal" Kundry and
the Black knight OF Necromancy
we're admirably filed by Mr.. Connor
Miss Heating and Mr. Dcvorak re-
spectively Those taking the minor
parts performed their duties in a
manner entirely I'm keeping with abe
excellence of the more important
roles "Parsifal" is play that will
be received well wherever SC goes
as long as 70 is in such capable
hands IT does not bring forth
great amount OF applause. neither
does it produce any tears. ON ac-
count Of fits religious teachings. but
a vein OF human interest perme-
atcs tho entire production. and
Keeps the true lover Of dramatic art
enthused from curtain to curtain.

OF Harry K. Thaw for the murder of
Stanford White progresses Thaw's
spirits seem to rise. Yesterday he
was one of the happiest men in the
courtroom. 1t was only when he
stood while a juror was being sworn
that he appeared to realize the grav-

his love for his mother again yester-
day as he was leaving court for the

her and whispered words of cheer
which made her smile.
Thaw continues to watch the Sc
lection of the jurors closely. Four
