Disease Killing Horses.
epizoo,c lymphangitis Exists in Several
Counties OF the State.

Epizootic lymphangitis has been
found TO exist in several counties in
the western part of Pennsylvania.
This disease is entirely new in
North America. 1t has been known
for long time in India, China,
Japan and the Philippine Islands,
and more recently in South Africa.
From South Africa it was carried
by horses returning from the Boer
War, to England where the British
Board of Agriculture has been COM
batting it actively for several years.
1t is believed that the disease is
now entirely under control in Great
Britain. When or by what agency
it reached Pennsylvania has not yet
been discovered.
1t has been found in the counties
of Butler, Mercer, Lawrence, Jef-
ierson and Indiana. Altogether
one hundred and thirty-fve horses
affected with epizootic lymphangitis
have been discovered in these coun-
ties. About forty horses deemed
to be incuraole have been appraised
and destroyed; the remaining ami
mails are in quarantine, pending
the result of medica, treatment.
One affected horse has been found
III Lancaster county, one III Column
bia county. 1t is evident, there
fore, that the quarantine measures
that have been applied are quite
necessary to prevent a general dis
trbution of the disease.
The disease is characterized by
liberation of the skin and inflam-
nation extending along the lynn
phatics, which leads to swellings
OF different parts Of the body most
ly of the legs. Gradually the dis
ease spreads, and at leugth there is
SO much destruction of tissue and
so much swelling that the useful
ness of the horse is DESTROYED, even
if the animal is not killed directly
by the disease.
1t appears that some Of the early
cases are durable. The repressive
measures now in operation consist
in hunting up all affected animals
of which any clue eau be gained.
These animals are then placed in
quarantine, and the premises that
have been occupied by them are
thoroughly disinfected. If the dis
ease is SO advanced that recovery
seems to be improbable the animal
is appraised, usually at about $40
or SIS, and then is destroyed.

Local History
Should be Taught in Public Schools.

The Williamsport SIN says :
Hardly could more Interesting
feature be added to the curriculum
Of the county schools-or the city
either-than that of the teaching of
local history, which is now pro-
posed by County Superintendent
Minor. An outline of the pro-
posed study and the pedagogic
handling of the subject shows a
comprehensive grasp of the salient
points in local history, the adding
of which to the advanced pupils
work must at once enlist interest
and enhance Importance. Few
grown-ups ever turn their atten-
ton to learning about things his
torical in their own towns or COM
munities, and long-continued in
difference in this respect has doubt
less lost to posterity forever much
that has made for history and gen
ealogy. A knowledge of the set
tlement of ones own town or town
ship, of men prominent in their de-
velopment, of notable events oc-
curing in the community, organi-
zation of schools and churches,
opening of roads, conflicts with
Indians, incidents and stories of
pioneer days, and whole lot OF
other subjects that lead back into
the fabric of early times as lived by
our forefathers, is of very warmest
interest, indeed, and County Super
intendent Minor is to be commend
ed on the fact that he has found it
possible to add local history study
to the public schools of the county.

In some comments on the Black

Transport Meas says "Notwith.
standing that some people scout the
idea that there is in this country an
organization known as the Black
Hand it is only necessary to read
the newspapers TO discover that
such an organization exists and
that it has its rami6cations in every
part of the Commonwealth where
ignorant and debased foreigners re-
side. The discovery in Pittsburg of
school in which young Italians
were being taught to murder for
profit or revenge ought to be suffi-
clent to prove that the Black Hand
is real thing and that it has been
receiving recruits in large numbers
constantly. In the Pittsburg case
nineteen young Italians were found
in a club house, all of them under
the tutelage of two older country
men who were instructing the lads
in the various methods Of killing
persons whom it was desired to get
rid of, Such a condition of affairs
certainly calls for the most deter
mined efforts possible to suppress
an evil which, if not suppressed,
will increase as months and years
come and go.

Pennsylvania Railroad Com
misslonerships are regarded as such
nice plums that not less than three
hundred applications are said to
have been made for them to Gov
ernor Stuart. This great en-
barrassment of choice may account
for the Governors delay in making
the appointments. Another reason
for it may possibly arise from the
fact that under the Constitution
and laws OF Pennsylvania the De-
partment # Internal Affairs is be-
lieVed to have all the power that is
conferred on this Board of Railroad
Commissioners. If the Courts
should sustain this view the Rail
road Commissioners would have
