New York, Oct. 30.-Represe NATIVE
Henry G. Loudenslager, of New Jer-
sey, secretary of the national republi-
can congressional committee, who had
been in charge of the New York head
quarters of the committee has given
out his estimates of the complexion
of the national house of representa-
tives in the sixty-first congress:
From the several thousand letters
received" said Mr.. Loudenslager,
land from personal interviews with
politicians and other observers from
all sections of the country, 1 am con-
WINGED that a conservative estimate
of the political complexion of the next
house is that it will show 227 republi-
cans and 1874 democrats. l am conf
dent that the election results will give
an increase in the number of republi-
cans rather than a decrease. This
campaign has been a strong one in
many respects, unusual conditions
have existed in different sections, and,
net results will, in my judgment, be
as stated
Chairman Hitchcock, of the republi-
can national committee. said that he
would probably give out his forecast
of the electoral vote this afternoon.
He said the statement would include
the doubtful as well as the certain
states for both parties. Mr.. Hitch
cock is still of the opinion that Ne
braska will be very close. but he is
quite confident Of Montana. Informa-
ton from leaders in Kentucky and
Tennessee continue to come in. and
are to the effect that the republican
candidate has more than a fighting
chance in those two states. While he
feels sure about Maryland, he thinks
the fight will be close there.

and communicated it to others, but
since this experience, the Health Ply
sician sees that the patients are thor
oughly cleaned up before discharge.
The greatest difficulty lies in the
fact that so many parents seem to be
of the opinion that their children are
differently constituted from others
and insist upon their being treated
differently. The Health Inspector
finds sometimes that parents will hide
infected clothing when he is prepar-
ing to fumigate for fear it will be in
jured, losing sight of the fact that it
may be the means of communicating
disease to others.
One very important fact should be-
kept in mind Since the establish
ment of the contagious hospital with
its rigid diet and systematic care Of
patients, the injurious after effects
that formerly were so frequently con-
nected with scarlet fever and kindred.
diseases is practically eliminated. In
fact, the physicians say that most Of
the patients leave in far better condi-
tion than they were before being taken
with their illness.
Now if the people of Morristown
will only. make up their mind that so
far as the public care of the health of
their children is concerned everything
that is possible is being done to con-
serve it, and if they will carefully look
after their little ones and when there
are symptoms ofsore throat and fever
call in a physician at once, instead Of
neglecting them until they have been
taken sick in public and jeopardized
the health Of many others it would be
a very easy matter to practically erad-
icate these preyentible diseases.

A large part of the population Of
Morristown hastened to the shores of
Pocohontas Lake on Monday after
noon, called there by the story that a
boy was drowning. This fortunately
proved untrue. Harold Pruden, a son
of Oscar Pruden, had been out on the
ice and considerable sized section on
which he stood broke loose from the
main body Of the ice and floated down
the pond to the CONSERVATION Of the
boy and those who saw his predica-
ment. Men secured boat and car
ried the lad safe to land without his
even falling into the water. Last Fri
day there were several catastrophies
and rescnes on the pond. Ethel Thomp-
son, daughter of ex-Alderman Thomp-
son and Benjamin P. Ford, son of Ed
win P. Ford, broke through the ice,
going in up to their necks. The acci-
dents happened some time apart, but
the same William Barnes was present
to rescue both of them, with the as
sistance Of others.

The event this week will be the iuve-

Saturday evening when the children of
St. Joseph's parochial school and a mum.
Der of private music pupils of the Sisters
of St. Benedict will entertain the public
with an appropriate program which has
been carefully prepared for the occasion.
The children have been busy every day
for the past week rehearsing and drilling
under the direction of the Sisters and
those who attend the exercises Saturday
evening are sure of Witnessing a produc-
ton that will be pleasing in every mi
nutia.
There will be music galore, including
vocal and instrumental solos, duets, trios,
quartets, choruses and bands, and the
Dickinson Military orchestra has pre-
pared a good bunch of special music.
REGULATIONS. dialogues, drills and a farce
are among the numbers on the program.
The Sisters are doing a wonderful
work in this city and it is worth more
than the price of admission to listen to
children, recite and sing, who could not
speak a word of English two years ago.
The advance sale of tickets is much
greater than for the entertainment last
year and the Sisters are pleased with the
support they receive from the best peo-
pie in the city.
