Wilson Hopeful For Suppression.

Washington, d. C. x The Depart
ment of Agriculture ordered quar-
antine against the entire State Of
Maryland so far as cattle and sheep
are concerned on account Of the APP
pearance of foot and mouth disease.
The restrictions put upon the State
in the expectation of animals afflicted
with the disease are the same as those
applied to Pennsylvania, New York,
New Jersey and Michigan.
The first reports of the prevalence
of the epidemic came from Lineboro,
which is but half mile from the
Pennsylvania State line. Govern
ment inspectors at once were sent to
the place to ascertain whether the dis
ease actually existed. 1t was upon
their report that the quarantine or
der was issued.
For some time Secretary Wilson,
DR.. A. d. Melvin, chief of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, and State Veter-
marian Mackie, of Maryland, were in
consultation regarding the course to
be taken for the eradication of the
disease.
In the opinion of Secretary Wilson
the disease, If checked Immediately
! in all the States it has appeared, will
cost the Government about $500, 900.
The arrangement the Department of
Agriculture has made with the State
is that the Government shall pay two
thirds and the State one-third of the
cost of suppression.
Baltimore, Md.-The immediate eff
feet of the quarantine against Mary
land is to stop the expectation of live
stock from this port, an important in

here, has been confined to that partic.

placed under rigid quarantine, and
every precaution taken to prevent the
spread of the disease. Even the resi-
dents of the farm are subject to Sc
we're restrictions. The infected ami

fected cattle.
Buffalo, N. UT was announced
that the State Agricultural Depart
ment has prepared to make a house
toulouse canvass in all districts of
Western New York where there is
any possibility of foot and mouth dis
ease, with a view to finding any dis
eased cattle which may have been
overlooked. This step is taken as
precautionary measure, as it is be-
lieved that the disease is checked, and
that before long every animal affected
will be under ground.

So Ellison street. South Paterson.

strain of the sneezing ended in the
bursting of blood vessel. The

Rnofinr Home She Rnilt

Mrs. Charles Rice, the Verona wom-
an who is building her own home, has
overcome the problem of placing a
roof on the structure, which, she con-
fessed few weeks ago, had stumped
her. Aided by her son and hired
man, she hoisted the heavy ioists and
put them in position as skillfully as
any carpenter. Mrs. Rice built the
walls of the four-story house with her
own hands since last March, but when
she came to the roof she was puzzled.
She said she had neither the funds to
pay for it nor the strength to do it
herself. She overcame both these OBJ
stacles

DIVORCES MORE COMMON.
Rate Growing and is Higher in United
States Than Elsewhere.

Washington, D. CA higher di-
vorce rate in the United States than
in any of the foreign countries where
statistics are available is announced
by the Census Bureau, which, in a
bulletin, says that at least one mar
riage in twelve in this country ulti-
mately terminates in divorce. The
report covers the twenty years from
1887 to 1906 inclusive. From 1887
to 1906 there were 12,S32,044 mar
riages and 945,625 divorces, against
32S,716 divorces for the preceding
twenty years.
Divorce is now two and a half
times as common, compared with the
married population, as it was forty
years ago. Utah and Connecticut are
the only two States showing de-
creased divorce rate.
Desertion caused 3S9 per cent. of
the total divorces in the twenty years,
almost half of the divorces being
granted to the husband for this cause
and about one-thrid to the wife for
the same cause.
