SCIENTISTS OPPOSE BILL.
Appear Before Committee Against Irvine
Health Measure

MADISON, Wis, March 17.-[Spe5
cial. l-Christian Scientists were strong
ly in evidence before the Assembly COM
mittee on public health last night in a
demand for the defeat of J01A, a bill
introduced by DR.. Irvine of Waupaca.
This bill provides for instruction in pub
lie health on causes of disease and their
prevention. Some fifteen Christian
Scientists from Milwaukee, GAINESVILLE
and Madison appeared against the bill.
The chief speakers for the opponents of
the bill were. NJ. J. Carney of Milwaukee,
County Clerk E. o. Phelps of Milwau-
kee and NJ. A. Richardson, a GAINESVILLE
attorney. They all held that instruc-
ton in disease simply would instill fear
in the child mind and therefore would
be an injury to them and an actual
cause of disease rather than a preventa-
tive.
DR.. c. A. Harper of the state board of
health was the chief supporter of the bill
and he quoted from eminent medical au-
thorities to show that germ disease
might be eradicated altogether by prop
er precautions on the part of the rising
generation.
The joint committee on roads and
bridges last night began work on the
question Of state aid to building of roads.
Several addresses were heard and it de-
yelOped that one of the chief questions
to be solved is as to what proportion the
abutting property holder shall pay for
road improvements.

A WOMAN'S LONG VIGIL AT LIGHT.
The One Who Has Tended a Pacific Coast
Beacon for Twenty-seven Years.

Miss Laura A. Hecox, who for TWEEN
ty-seven years has rendered the light Of
the Santa Cruz lighthouse, has but re-
Gently returned to her post from the last
of the six vacations she has taken during
that period Since 1881 this woman
has had absolute charge of the light,
and in all that time it has never gone
out during the night.
Miss Hecox followed her father in
charge of the light. He was a retired
clergyman, who took the work of car
ing for the light when his health broke
down under the stress of his pastoral
duties. With him went his wife and
girl, who cared for him as well as the
light.
During the thirteen years her father
was in charge Miss Hecox was practic-
ally the real mistress of the lighthouse.
When his death came she applied for
and obtained the work. Since that time
she has been steadily at it, cleaning,
tending and watching the light that It
may be never dimmed.
Then her mother died IN the old light
house and the woman was left alone
with her work. She loves it and is never
satisfied If she is away from it for long.
Her only recreation is an occasional visit
to her brother, who lives at Oceans!de,
and gathering in sea specimens, col
lection of which she recently gave to the
Santa Cruz library.
Fortunately for Miss Hecox the Santa
Cruz lighthouse is not built on a rock
bound coast but Is powered among trees
The light is modern, of twelve candle
power multiplied by refectOrs to some
thing like acknowledgement During the
twenty-seven years it has been tended by
Miss Hecox no ship has been wrecked
on the Santa Cruz coast.-Los Angeles

LONDON. March 16. - The famous
old Blanchard's restaurant, just off Re
gent street, which thirty years ago was
perhaps the best known and most popu-
lar chop house in London, has just been
reopened in a burst of glory. For ten
years it has been closed. Recently Il
company was formed to take the prop
erty over. The building was reconstruct
ed and all modern conveniences put in.
The restaurant will be conducted in
the old English style, with English cook
ing. A speciality will be made of hot
joints, which are wheeled around to the
customers tables and unlimited portions
served at reasonable prices.
An interesting feature Of the establish
ment is the fact that Capt Byron, a
grandson of Lord Byron, is president of
the company and head of the concern.

of the American store, such as concerts,
anniversary celebrations and other en-

plOying grand opera singers, military
bands and music hall performers to at
tract the crowd.
When the doors of the Selfridge
store closed this evening about 100000
persons. according to the estimates, had
inspected the building. The great ma
jority of the visitors were women who
were anxious to discover what an
American store was like.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, March IL
Especial l-Messrs. Irving Sears and
Charles Dickinson are meeting a hearty
response from business men and citizens
in circulating a petition to secure a
privilege for dam at the Badger mills
water power site on the Chippewa river.
The dam will furnish water power for
a plant of the Menasha Woodenware
company to be erected in this city 1t
will be a permanent industry and the
citizens look upon it as n good thing for
the city. Col l.. j. Rusk says Il dam
at the Badger Mill site will not in any
way back water into this city. The fact
that Col. Rusk is practical surveyor
and assisted in laying out this city's sew
err system, gives his opinion weight
The Dells Paper * Pulp company of
Eau Claire is opposing the establishment
of this dam. The Dells company wants
to raise their dam at Eau Claire four
feet higher and if dam is put in at
Badger Mills, they cannot do this.
