How an outbreak cf Diphtheria WAS ms- nsgsd
 Joseph II. Townsend, NJ. D., Secre- tary of the Stase Board of Health, tn his report for December, thus states how one health officer managed an out break of diptheria: "In Novembr l rc- ported five cases of diphtheria--two of which were fatal and two more very serious. The conditions were some what alarming, land by order of the au- thofities the schools in the village wero closed for one week, but conditions did not improve. Something had to be done-either close the schools for month or more, or what? It was de- cided to take cultures from the thfoats of all children and the teachers In tho schools, and send them to the State Isa- boratory for examination. The result was that nineteen cultures showed tho presence of the diphtheritic bacilis all In cases where II had not been previous ly suspected. These cases and their fa- miles were all quarantined and tho quaranteen enforced.
 The schools were not closed, but not a pupil was allowed to attend unlsws cultures taken from the throat showed the absence of the specific bacillus.
 As a result of this work theresis nOt now a ease of diphtheria In the villago among the school children. These 19 eases reported were all mild, tn fact so mild that the parents and their friends claimed that sa our work was useless and needless. IL was hot old timc In the village for six weeks. All churches, school rooms and public library have been thoroughly fumigated and we now feel safe from serious epidemic.u u

Congress.

The petty war that both houses have been waging against the President must recoil on the members concerned, and they are becoming conscious of that fact. The great love the plain people have for the President has been in- tensitied by the attacks made on him by members of Congress, not for what he said or did but what they misrep- resented him as saying and doing even after he had explained to them what he did mean In the language of his message to which they took exception. He gave them, In addition an object lesson to verify charges they indignant ly denied as pertaining to their digni- ty and honor--t wo Representatives and n Senator whom he had sent to State's prison for frauds committed on the government, by the aid of the secret police, whose usefulness they under took to cripple by reducing the appro- priation for their payment. Before the ease Is ended the indignant members and their newspaper allies will diseov- CT they have been lighting n buzz saw.

In answer to his raging abuse of others for making public his letters, which he admits are genuine, and which con- vict him of making improper use of his Senatorship to procure large amount of public lands for himself and mem- bers of his family. Here are his con- victlng words:

 The above was addressed to the at- torney of n company of land speculn- tors engaged in buying up government lands. Four days later, In hts place In the Senate, he said:
 "f have not bought any land any where in the West, nor undertaken t0 buy any"
 After saying this, in reply to sAttoF- ney-G General Bonaparte's denial that 1ilIman told him he purposed buying some public land he bssxenly declared:

MRS. HOOD ENTERTAINS HER
SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS

Decidedly one of the most novel
and IoveHest parties ever given in
Ocala was the Easter party that Mrs.
E. Van Hood gave for her Sunday
school class on Friday afternoon, at
her attractive Fort King avenue
home.
AS the ladies entered the gate dain-
ty little Misses Mary Edna Carroll
and Mary Guerrant scattered rose
leaves in their path, with the wish
that their lives might always be a
bed Of roses.
On the veranda green punch was
served from a lovely bowl by Mr.. Hall
of Scranton, Pa, who was assisted by
Miss Alice Bullock.
After all the guests had assembled
they were asked out on the lawn by
the gracious hostess, and a very excit-
ing war of the rOses' ensued. Sides
were chosen by Miss Grace Hatchell
and Miss Susie Fort, one side being
given red roses and the other white
ones. The object vi the contest was
to see which side could throw the
greatest number of roses through a
window left in an artistic construction
OF evergreens on the lawn. The red
roses, led by Miss Hatchell, won.
After this contest, at tables scat
tered about the lawn, progressive ana
grams were played. All of the ana
grams related to the Easter season,
and a lot of excitement and merri-
ment was the result, and for a short
while the guests were very hilarious
and happy at this game.
The refreshments were served at
the small tables, and very prettily fol
lowed the green and white color
scheme. The ices were green and the
cakes iced in white and green. While
these dainty refreshments were being
partaken of little Miss Mary Edna
Carroll served each guest a fortune.
In a pretty little Easter souvenir box
with Easter rabbits and eggs was hid
den an appropriate and happy fortune,
which were all read aloud
The guests then went into the mu-
sic room where a musical treat await
ed them. Mr.. Hall and Miss Tolmie
sang several solos, as well as a per-
fectly fascinating duet, and Miss An
ma Savage also sang very sweetly.
Mrs. Hood is an ideal hostess, but
greater than that, she is a loyal lead
er for this large class of ladies, who
love her and appreciate very thor
oughly all that she does in their in
tereSt.
Mrs. Hoods class includes thirty
six ladies. and the afternoon spent
with their teacher was an exceedingly
enjoyable one.
