A MILD EPIDEMIC OF
THROAT AILMENTS
-FOUR OR FIVE CASES HAVE
BEEN QUARANTINED AS
DIPHTHERIA.


There seems 70 be run Of throat
sickness III the city that Is yerging
dangerously near an epidemic. Sew
erai cases have been diagnosed as
diphtheria BY several physicians,
while other cases that seemed 10 be
somewhat similar were not diagnos'
ed as this disease BY the attending
doctors.
In one or more cases the doctors
have disagreed as to the nature Of
the disease, but according to Or,
Clara Reames, the city health Off
Ger, there is no question that at least
several Of the cases are diphtheria,
But the sickness, no matter just
what il Is, seems 10 be in quite a
mild form,
One case in the eastern part Of
the city was quarantined yesterday
afternoon as diphtheria. There are
four or FIVE houses under quarantine
now.
One or more Of the physicians
have diagnosed the cases they have
had as severe form Of tonsilitis.
DIR. Reames yesterday endeavored
to make decisive tests, under the
microscope and otherwise, but she
said there was much difficulty in
making satisfactory tests for the rea-
son that in each case antiseptics had
been applied previously by the doc
tors in charge. which would have a
tendency to destroy the germs that
the tests otherwise might show.
There Is apparently not the slight
est danger Of a possibility Of any Sc
we're epidemic, but it is said to be
best to exercise great caution. In
Portland there is mild epidemic oi
diphtheria. All the "old timers say
that as soon as the rains set in all
the present run OF colds and other
ailments will pass away.

PRACTICAL METHODS.
Cruiser Yankee To Be Saved From
The Reef She Is On.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2l-John Ar
buckle, founder Of the Deep Sea Ho-
tel for working girls and young men,
has explained how he hopes to save
the United States cruiser Yankee,
which ran aground on the Hen and
Chickens reef In Mr.. Arbucklc's own
words the method is this:
@We will brace the different decks
so that the pressure Of air will not
disrupt them. The hatches and outer
points will be made alright and then
the compressors will force the air
into the hold Of the vessel. The air
Is lighter than the water, so the water
will be forced out. We turned on the
compressed air into the hold Of a
steamer that all the other wreckers
had abandoned, after spending $l50,-
600 and had given up as a hopeless
Job, and in thirty minutes we raised
the 81 100000 steamer Of 10000 tons"
Mr. Arbuckle suggests that the
time will come when every passenger
steamer viii be equipped with air
compressors and matches SO construc-
ted that they can be closed and made
alright Immediately, the air com
pressors started, "And the vessel
saved, no matter how large the hole
in her hui"
