The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1910-03-01

Assembiyman White introduced bill
in the House of Assembly last night tc
incorporate the town of Mount Holly as &
city.
! The following young men attended the
County Boys Camp Reunion, at Merchant
vile, last Friday evening: Harold Bovine,
Garfield Brown, Jack McElroy, James An
derson, Richard Garon, Harold Wills,
Linton Nippins and Stanley Nippins. Six
tY boys were present from Camden, Bur-
lington and Monmouth counties and en-
joyed the excellent banquet and after
dinner speeches.
Mount Holly Water.
Samples of the water furnished the con
sumers of Mount Holly have been sent to
the State Board of Health regularly each
month. That for December was returned
as free from injurious impurities. The
sample for January, taken from the creek,
did not contain any evidences of sewage,
but that taken from faucet did show some
traces of ''coli communis, but In very
slight degree. 1t was difficult to under
stand why the water from the creek was
clear and the other was not, so a letter
was sent to the State Analyst asking him
to again examine the samples and discover
whether he had made a mistake. His
reply was as follows
Trenton, N. j., February %, 1910.
Mr.. James s. Hulme, Superintendent,
Mount Holly Water Company,
Mount Holly, N. ].
Dear Sir:-In response to your letter of
February 90, 1910, regarding the recent
analyses of Mount Holly water, would
advise that these analyses are correct In
reference to the presence of B. coli COM
NUNS in the tap water, l do not consider
that the presence of this organism in the
amount given need cause any alarm, since
it is entirely possible that this water may
have been standing in the reservoir for
some time. We have obtained similar re-
suits before, as have noted after looking
over the analysesSof Mount Holly water
which we have on file in this office 1t is
to be understood that B. coli communis is
not the typhoid organism, nor can this
organism cause typhoid fever. Knowing
the conditions of your public water supply
as we do, believe 1t may be safely said
that the use of this water Is not the cause
of the typhoid fever in Mount Holly at
present, since the cases are not wide |
spread, and If it were water borne, there
would be more cases in the town than at |
present. return the copy of the analyses. |
Very truly yours,
ARTHUR E. FOWLER
Assistant Chief |
The local Board of Health is investigat-
ing the cause of typhoid fever. That
there have been evidences of sewage dis
covered in the water is beyond doubt, but
1t has not been decided that the sewage is
of typhoid nature. The Board of Health
says that the proper course to pursue in
order to be on the safe side is to boil all
water used for drinking or culinary pur-
poses.

The Habit of Fear

Some people are afraid of nearly every thing, says Orison Swett Warden in Suc- cess Magazine. They are afraid of a draught afraid of getting chilled or Of taking cold; they are afraid to eat what they want; they are afraid to venture in business matters for fear of losing their money; they are afraid of public opinion; they have perfect horror of what Mrs. Grundy thinks. They are afraid hard times are coming; afraid of poverty; afraid of failure afraid the crops are going to fall; fraid of lightning and tor nados; their whole lives are filled with fear. fear. Their happiness is poisoned with 1t so that they never take much pleasure .or comfort in anything.
 There are many people who have a dread of certain diseases. They picture the horrible symptoms, the loss in per sonal attractveness. OF the awful pain and suffering that accompanies the dis ease. and this constant suggestion af- fleets the appetite, impairs nutrition, weakens the resting power of the body and tends to encourage and develop any possible hereditary taint or disease ten dency
 4 It is well known that during an epi- demic people have developed the disease they feared, even before any physical contact was possible by Wnlcn the coh- tagion could have been imparted to them, because they allowed their minds to dwell on the terrible thing they dreaded.
 In 1888 there was an epidemic of yellow fever at Jacksonville. Fla, and a very extensive epidemic of fear throughout the southern states. The latter disease was much more contagious than the former and much less amenable to treat ment. This mental malady visited every little town, village and hamlet in sew eral states and many victims died of feaE

MARK TWAIN'S
 LOVE OF BOOKS

w. D. Howard in Harper's Magazine.
 Mark Twain was always reading some vital book It might be some out-of-the- way book, but it had the root of the hu- man matter in it; volume of great trials; one of the supreme autobiogra- phies; a signal passage of history, a mar rative of travel, story of captivity, which gave him life at first hand. As remember he did not care much for distinct loathings; there were certain au- thors whose names he seemed no so much to pronounce as to spew out of his mouth. Goldsmith was one of these but his prime abhorrence was my dear and honored prime favorite, Jane Austen. had been reading some unsparing praises of her from mel am always praising her: You seem to think that woman could write" and he forbore whitening me with his scorn, apparently because we had been friends so long, and he more pitied than hated me for my bad taste. He seemed not to have any preference among novelists, or at least never heard him express any. He used to read the modern novels praised, in or out of print, but I do not think he much liked reading fiction. AS for plays, he loathed the theatre, and said he would as lief do a sum as follow a plot on the stage. He could not or did not give any reasons for his literary abhorrences and, per- haps, he really had none But he could have said very distinctly, if he had need ed, why he liked the books he did. I was away at the time of his great Browning passion, and I know of 1t chiefly from hearsay; but at the time Tolstoy was doing what could be done to make me over, Clemens wrote, That man seems to have been to you what Browning was to me- I do not know that he had other favorites among the poets, but he had favorite poems which he liked to read to you, and he read, of course, splendidly. Generally, I fancy his pleasure in poetry was not great, and I do not believe he cared much for the conventionally accepted masterpieces of literature. He liked to find out good things and great things for himself sometimes he would discover these in a masterpiece new to him alone, and then, if you brought his ignorance home to him. he enjoyed 1t, and enjoyed it the more the more you rubbed it in. Of all the literary men have known he was the most unliterary in his make and man. ner,

CHINA MAKES REPLY
 10 TREATY TERMS
Russo-Japanese Convention Is
 Very Satisfactory
OPEN DOOR ATTITUDE
China Agrees to Proposed Terms in Ac- cOrdance With Portsmouth Treaty and VIII Await Carrying
 Out of Agreement

Pekin, July 21.-China's reply to the announcement of the recently concluded Russo-Japanese convention was deliv- cred at the legations of these two coun- tries today.
 As had been expected the Chinese government does not fail to point out its satisfaction at the expressed pur- pose upon the part of Russia and Japan to adhere to the terms of the Ports mouth treaty and over the mutual pledge of the maintenance in Man. ciple of the open door for commercial developments.
 In this connection China lays special emphasis upon Article II of the Pofts- mouth treaty, which reads as follows:
 Japan and Russia mutually engage:
 q. To evacuate completely and si- Manchuria, except the ter ritory affected by the lease of the Liau Lung peninsula in conformity with the provisions of additional Article I, an nexed to this treaty; and
 "2. To restore entirely and complete ly to the exclusive administration of China all portions of Manchuria now in the occupation or under the control of the Japanese or Russian troops, with the exception of the territory above mentioned. The government of Rus sia declares that they have not in Manchuria any territorial advanta ges or preferential or exclusive concessions In impairment of Chinese sovereignty or inconsistent with the principle of the equal opportunity"
 After noting that the Russo-Japall- csc convention engages to maintain the previous agreements regarding Man churia including it's ultimate retroces- sion to China, the reply states that China will act in accordance with the Portsmouth treaty and the agreement with Japan of 1905 which re-confirms the transfer and assignment made in the Russo-Japanese treaty and regu- lating the commercial and railway in- terests in Manchuria.
 It adds that China will continue her policy maintaining with increased ef- forts in matters arising to exercise her rights of sovereignty and the principle of equal opportunity in the develop ment of the commercial and industrial prosperity of the Manchuria provinces with view to the promotion of the best interests of all parties.
 ~~ Copies of the Chinese reply were de- livered at all the legations and to the press simultaneously.
 The Chinese government, fearing that the RussoJapanese agreement may be a precursor to an aggressive attitude in Manchuria and Mongolia against which it cannot make a successful re- sistance, seeks in self defense to give the widest publicity to the earlier pledges of Russia and Japan

Woman Is Savage From Success Magazine.

A college professors shortest road to fame lies in making startling or sensa- tional announcements on woman, mar riage or religion. Dr. Max Baff of Clark university chooses woman. "She is no better than a savage" says Dr. Baff "She emulates him by a love of birds feathers, by hanging ornaments to her ears, wearing bracelets, rings and neck laces and affecting gaudy colors. She arrays her hair in fantastic shapes by artificial methods and Is partial to daub from the powder box or paint pot. Like the savage, she is color-blind, prone to religious hysteria, and impressiona- bIe." l' fl aas
 Man, according to this authority, has put thse fads and fancies behind him and conducts himself in the pure white light of reason. With the children rang ing from anthropoid apes to Hottentots and the women still deep in savagery. the home seems to be no place for an unprotected male.

 According to the estimates of the com mittee each postoffice in the country will have to keep an average of two ledgers which will necessitate the keeping of from So.000 to 100000 ledgers and the employment of about 1000 bookkeepers.
