TYPHOID AT WINTHROP.
Three Cases Well Advanced and Sev'
en- Other Sick Students Under
SusperVision.

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 5.-The au-
thorities of Winthrop college, where
500 girls from all parts Of the STAKE
are at school, are much worried ovel
an outbreak Of typhoid fever. ihe
communicating source Of which they
have after several days Of painsFak-
ing investigation been unable t. H.
cate. There are three well-advancea
cases in the college hospital with All
extra trained nurse on duty and sew
Ell other suspected cases which have
not yet been finally diagnosed as
typhoid. In addition to these one
patient went home bofer the disease
was too far advanced on her to pre-
vent travel.
State Health Officer, DR.. C. Fred
Williams, of Columbia, is on hand
making a thorough investigation with
the local health board and the local
members Of the board of trustees,
and will not leave until he gets sat-
isfying results. Not only is all the
food supply being scientifically look
ed into but every servant that comes
on the premises is being investigated.
Sample water from every spigot on
the premises in addition to the prin-
cipal source of drinking water and
the water supply at the college dairy
were sent on to Charleston today fol
ANALYSIS. Even the boxes Of food
sent to girls from home are being in
vestigated. A sample Of the main
drinking water was sent on to Baltl-
more some days ago, and the authorl-
ties there have just telegraphed that
it is pure and contains positively no
traces of infection of any kind.
There is no typhoid, it is said, in the
city of Rock Hill, and it is probable
that the college will get its water
from the city water works until the
| trouble is over, if any reason is found
for Suspecting the present supply.
\ perplexing feature Of the situa.
ton. is that the cases on hand repre-
sort All the different dormitories and
deDartments Of the college. and fron,
different rooms in these dormitories.
60 far the authorities have not beeI
| able to uncover 4 suspicious clrcuul-
stance that leads to a discovery OF
tie cause. The college has been open
now two months and it IS thought un-
likely that anv of the casts started
before the patients left home.
President Johnson has been absent
several weeks on his European trip.
and is to remain till Christmas
AS soon as more definite informa-
ton can be obtained. probably in a
day or so. a statement will be eiveh
ont from the college FIR publication
| fully and frankly setting forth the
true facts.
This is the first trouble Of the kind
Winthrop has ever had.

The fear of ridicule is all that really prevents hundreds of students from fleeing to their American homes. Bet ter any position at home in a store than an engagement at a small opera house in Europe
 Now last word to students who look with longing eyes towards a for elgn stage career. Be sure that the voice is very unusual and perfectly trained. In America the student can make sure of the above two points. In Europe a well flied purse and an un- usual voice are closely related. When the purse is empty the student finds that her voice is not only not unusual but in the majority of cases she dis covers that her voice has been badly trained. Discipline the mind by severe study of some kind Test well your power to suffer all kinds of hunilia- tion and endure all hardships. Have well filled purse and a bank account upon which to draw constantly. Re prepared to work like horse and be treated like a stray dog, harden your heart against all affections and then come over here and go on the stage"

SINGERS IN EUROPE Member of Royal Berlin Opera Company Warns Ameri.
 cans of Perils.
SOME VERY LOW SALARIES
Danger of Accepting Poorly Paid Contracts to Get Position
 at All,

The following letter from an &C., ouaintance in Europe will undoubtedly interest vocal students and will cause many singers who contemplate going abroad for vocal study to think twice before venturing upon a step that promises big risk and triflng gain:
 Standing as 1 am at present at a point in my career, which, while much higher elevation is possible, is yet high .enough to give me clear view of the wretched mistakes made by singers in their scramble for fame I desire to give to students the result of the ob- 'servations of an American singer abroad. In every opera house are to be found unhappy specimens of singers who started their careers long before they were fitted to leave the studio. Worn -out voices. careless execstion, lost artistic ideals and throat trouble are the results of unripe beginnings and primarily due to overtaxing vocal ization and the too early singing of diff ficult arias Thus l cannot warn my fellow students too strongly against the mental unrest ot impatient ambition.
 'The next great mistake, so notice- able here among American students, Is the evident craze for an operatic en- gagement, to be gained at all costs, and the shame of returning to their own land without having accomplish ed something professional" This lat ter result is so feared that students who have voices and talent which can never make them anything above mere stage drudge, sign contracts for engagements in small, unheard of towns, with the certainty of wretched living and poor pay. and all for the pleasure of seeing the announcement of the engagements in the nome papers. The contracts are rarely for less than five years, with two months vacation in summer, and the salaries are ridic- ulously low. Something to astonish Americans The salary of the lowest paid church singer in America is princely in comparison Furthermore, outside of royal opera houses. each art ist must buy her own costumes. and this on the salary paid is absolutely impossible
 After the notices of the singers en- gagement have lost their exhilarating effect upon the artist and her friends she realizes that she must sing three roles before her contract is made com plete. and that then the director may dismiss her if he wishes so to do Even if retained she is bound in a position which yields no fame and little true artistic experience. and wears out the voice The Svhole miserable business would have yielded but stray notice ln the AmericaB papers That is all.

Suggestion Regarding Help for Some
 Unemployed.

To the Editor of tho Journal-Courier:
 Dear Sir-ln these times of depr .s- sion, a word or two, that would tend to put some of our unemployed eli zens at work would not be nmiss. Last summer the railroad. by offeri lg excursion rates induced hundreds tf our people to do their shopping n New York city, Immediately .ry arose among our business men, that this money was being diverted into channels other than ours During the holidays all of the local pap,rs called attention to shoppers through their editorial columns. to do their purchasing In this city. of home pro- ducts. retaining the money here. and keeping our people employed Now Mir. Editor, would not thls idea wort equally as we'll at the present time. am told that the Cigarmakers' union of New Haven Is supporting fifty un- employed men, while large number part time This is indeed a noble act for an organization, and not one cigarmaker to my knowledge has re. ceived any assistance from the city relief committed No doubt other organizations are doing equally as well by their members. But my point Is this. if the public when buy ing would purchase more of the home products than what they do, many oi the unemployed would he soon al work. thereby enabling them to assist financially their less fortunate fellow. men.

Coroner Mix Finds Evidence Pointing
 tO Absolute Neglect.

According to the testimony taken by Coroner Mix yesterday, Mrs. Georgo Robinson, who was brought to the New Haven hospital from Stevens Height Saturday morning and who died there twenty-four hours later, perished as the result of neglect by the people with whom she lived, Mir. and Mrs John Healy. The neglect may have been un- intentional, but some of the testimony such as that brought out by Mrs. Rob- insons sister. Mrs. Salina Simons, who said that Mrs. Robinson had the poor est sort of food to eat, shows that lit tie care was taken of the woman.
 Coroner Mix stated last night that the case was apparently one of neg lect and that he would continue the in- quiry to-day.
