DIPHTHERIA DECREASING
All Cases Were Of Mild Character
and well In Hand.

and Well In Hand
Morristown: has had a remarkably
low rate for contagious diseases during
the last ten years, largely due to the
excellent hospital facilities and the
prompt. and efficient services of the
physician and inspector Of the board of
health. The school physicians have
also contributed materially to this re-
suit by their constant supervision of
the scholars. Last year but nineteen
cases of diphtheria were reported al
though it was prevalent in other near
by towns.
The first Of last month a number Of
cases of diphtheria developed, three
families furnishing eleven cases, and
by the 10th twenty-one cases were re-
ported, the number for the month be-
i g twenty-nine. For the ten days of
this month but three cases were re-
ported. OF these cases twenty-four
were sent to the hospital, the Others
being guaranteed in their homes.
During the same period twelve cases
of scarlet fever we're reported.
At the board of health meeting in
October prompt attention to the con
agious cases was ordered. and that
prompt attention was given is shown
by the fact that Seventy-eIght rooms
| in thirtySiX houses were fumlgated and
| in no case was Immigration delayed for
JweEty-four hours.
There is no epidemic here and with
ordinary care and medical oversight
every body is as safe as it is given us to
be in this world of accidents.

KINGSTON ARISES FROM
EARTHQUAKES RUINS.
Again Largest and Finest West In
dian City, Havana Excepted.

Kingston, the city which was wreck
ed by earthquake and ruined more
completely by fire in January, 1907
again takes it's place as the largest city
in the West Indies outside of Havana
The work of restoration is almost
complete, and although few vacant
sites remain unoccupied the principal
shopping centers and the residential
area have all been built up. The new
Kingston is an immense improvement
upon that which went to pieces in the
catastrophe. and there are still works
of public Improvement to be under.
taken.
Almost without exception the new
store buildings are of REINFORCED con.
crete and are as nearly fireproof as To-
cal conditions have made it possible
The principal streets are adorned by
colonnades, some of very imposing
character
Public gardens and open spaces adorn
the principal sections of the city, the
sites for these having been acquired by
the government at considerable cost,
much against the wish Of the taxpay-
ers. The results have, however, more
than justified the expenditure, and
Kingston is today more of tropical
town than it has ever been before
within modern times.
The government buildings and the
splendid structures of the Bank OF
Nova Scotia have served to alter en-
tirely the appearance of King street
front has been completely restored, and
there is now talk of a sea wall or es-
planade being constructed, not only to
facilitate shipping, but also to serve as
a driveway or promenade. Plans are
also under consideration for the con
struction of a new park to cover about
forty-five acres of land.
