Given by Young Men Of middle
towT, 4 Brilliant Affair

/ ~ W n . ~ AAAAsAAAS aAA-eS
One OF the most pleasant of dances was
given on Monday evening in the 0pers
House by the young men Of MiddIetown.
It was the annual Easter dancei this dance
being looked for each Spring as the Hfst
touch Of gaiety after the grave lentsn
season of sack cloth and ashes.
This dance proved to be even more en-.
joyable than previous ones. The music,
furnished by the First Infantry Band of
Wilmington, consisting of FIVE pieces, was
fine, and she decorations of green and
gold, wers artistic. The stage with its
greens and six hundred yellow joDqnils,
looked unusually pretty. And the ladies
frocks-well, they beggared description
One can't expect mere man to tell about

rose c0lors bewiIdered one. One hand
some costume was of color de rose, worn
by young matron, and one did not have
to wear rose colored glasses to see that is
was a beauty. Perhaps one of the most
interesting facts abont the dance was that
there were plenty OF men and to spare. =
She hailed from Wilmington, and Wss
clad 10 q lovely gown of pink silk, which
became her shapely figure well. A fine
face set in frame Of soft brown hair,
jauntigy crowned with butterfly coFonet
won for her the coveted distinction OF
the ''Belle of the Ball"

lures of his death is that he had planned

ments to that effect. He was q son of the
late P. B. and Mrs. Mollie AIrich, who
with q tbrother and two sisters survive

Harry A. Richardson, of Dover, died
Wednesday iD the University Hospital,
Philadelphia. Her parents and her two
brothers we're with her at the end.
Miss Richardson was 20 years old and
very popular and a social favorite in
Dover. Her father was greatly devoted
to her, and during her illness, which
lasted for some months, he has not en-
gagged in many of his usual activities, but
spent much of his time with her. Special
lists from all sections of the country
were summoned in an endeaVor to save
the young w0man's life. An operation
was performed on Saturday last.
Miss Richardson was named for her
fathers mother. She was removed to
the hospital ten days ago, and after the
operation on Saturday last she continued
to improve, but began to sink Wednes'

M. P. CONFERENCE

The next session of the Maryland
Annual Conference Of the NJ. P. Church
will be held In Broadway, Church, Bal.
timore, April 9Th to 18th.
An interesting feature in connection
with the sessions 10 the fact that the
members Of Broadway Church congre.
cation will celebFate the fiftieGh ami.
versaFy OF its founding on Sunday; April
10Th. All the ministers who have start.
ed their career from that church will de.
liver addresses at the evening service on
that day.
A most interesting history is that OF the
Broadway Methodist Protestant Church
from the date OF its dedication on April
10Th, 1850, nntil the present day. Just
80 years ago, largely through the efforts
of Rev. Jesse ShFesves, who died some
years ago. the church was started when
thst section OF the city was hardly de-
vsloped and the Johns Hopkins Hospital,
which stands directly across the street,
was not even dreamed Of. The church
occupies she site of an old cemetery,
which had been abandoned prior to the
time Of its building. The present par.
sonage, on Monument street, is on che
ground on which stood the tent in which
services were conducted by Rev. Mr..
shreeves during the time that edifice was
being buils,

VETERINARIANS REPORT
DR.. H. B. Mcdowell Complied
With RuIinG

DovER, Del, March 3Oth.-A most IN.
usual incident OF farm animal infection
and q public post mortem has come to
the notice of the authorities as result
Of new custom.
In compliance with the new ruling Of
the State Board of Agriculture to the ef.
feet that veterinarians are required to
make monthly report, DR.. Fl. B. Nc.
Dowell, of Middlstown, submitted the
following for March:
Son March 17th, was called to the
farm of Walter O. Money, near Town
send, where found one horse that had
died suddenly and two that were down.
These two and two others died within the
next forty.eight hours, a loss of five
horses in two days. The sixth horse was
taken sick OH the twentieth and died on
the twenty first Of March. / reported
these facts to Mr.. ShalICross and asked
that DR.. Dawson and Dr.. Ewes be called
in consultation. They both agreed in
confirming my diagnosis of forage poison.
ing. After the death of the sixth horse
DR.. Ewes and myself held o post |
mortem which confirmed our diagnosis. |
Many of the farmers of the neighborhood
we're present and previous to the post |
mortem we explained the exact condition |
shat we expected to find. The exami-
tion proved exactly as We anticipated.
This allayed any feeling that we had
contagious disease to deal
with.
Forage poisoning is disease which |
we believe has its origin in mouldy feed,
such as corn fodder, mouldy straw, mouldy
hay, or any other mouldy feed. In
this instance the trouble was probably
caused by some mouldy straw and old |
stack-bottom that had just been hauled |
into the barnyaFd. The active principle |
is supposed to be ptomaine acting on the |
nerve csnters, causing, first, paralysis
Of the muscles of deglutition and later a |
general paralysis. No treatment is known |
that 10 effectusI when once che animal is |
injected. The most We can do is to find |
the source of the infection, remove the
infected material and thus save the
animals remaining on the place. In MIR.
Moneys case there are six horses remain
ing on the farm that will probably escape |
owing to our recommendation to take |
them off the infected food"

wheat and 60 bushels corn per acre, and
the soil has good clay bottom and will
hold any and all improvements put on
it. The six large fields have good nat
ural drainage and there is not foot of
low or springy land on the farm. The
corn tillsge for this season will be 80 acres.

Catasauqua, Pa, November 19--Mrs.
John Fenstermaker, of this place, is
the heroine OF a surgical operation,
whereby she saved her pet Rhode Is
land red rooster, Prince, from certain
death. The bird, a prize-winner, val
ued at $3.50, showed signs of great
pain. She diagnosed it as certain the
trouble was in the crop.
The rooster was put to sleep with a
liberal injection of rye whiskey in
lieu Of ether. Mrs. Fenstermal1er pull
ed off the neck feathers and cutting
down, was able to feel something for
eign in the craw This was also cut
open, when she found two pieces of
sharp bone. After they had been re-
moved she sewed up the incisions with
silk thread.
In half an hour the rooster, recov-
ering from his enforced jag, began 20
stagger about Now, after four day ),
he has apparently recovered entirely.
except that he is still bald below the
chin, where the feathers were remoy-
ed, and he crows as Justify as ever.
In performing the operation Mrs.
Fenstermaker was assisted by Mrs.
Annie Schroeder. They completed the
job in seven and one-half minutes
