BOY LEPER UNDER

opened Yesterday.

Pawtucket, r. l., May s.-The Oar
lington grammar school, from which
Harry Sheridan, the boy afflicted with
leprosy, was taken on Thursday. was
reopened today. Pending the action of
the state authorities, the boy remained
at his home, with police guarding the
house to see that he does not leave.
DR.. Gardiner 7. Swarts secretary of
the state board of health, said there
was no danger from infection.
Sheridan has been suffering from
Ieprosy for four years, DR.. Swasts de-
clared, and his chances of recovery are
considered slight. 1t is not likely that
the boy will be sent to the Penikese
Island leper colony, as the Massachu-
setts authorities do not care to estab-
lish a precedent by taking in patients
from outside that state, and some pro-
vision will be made for hAs seclusion

New Orleans about five years ago.
About $50 of this 500 pupils appeared
when the school reopened. The teach
ers displayed moro anxiety than the
pupils and because of the nervousness
of the teachers the school committee
ordered two rooms closed. All the
books, papers and curtains in the
rooms. and even an American flag on
one of the walls, Will be removed and

Expects Water
To be Scarce
WARNING BY A MASSACHUSETTS
HEALTH OFFICIAL.
RAINFALL HAS DECREASED
Has Not Been Up to Normal in New
England for Five Years-Heavy
Rains May Avert Famine.

Boston, May S.-A general cry for
water is expected throughout New
England during the coming months by
x H Goodnough, chief engineer of the
Massachusetts, state board of health.
Decreased Rainfall for Five Years.
Mr. Goodnough points out that the
decrease in the rainfall throughout
the eastern part of the country dur
ing the past five years. supplemented
by the light fall during the past win
ter and the present spring, brings a
condition that is precarious to the
cities and towns that depend upon
small sources for their supply.
Boston District Prepared for a Year.
The supply for the metropolitan dis
trict is ample for twelve months or
more according to Mr. Goodnougn,
but other cities in Massachusetts are
not SO fortunate.
Steady Decrease in Nashua River.
The Nashua river is cited as an IL
lcstration where the flow has steadily
decreased each year since 1907 and
during the past winter. where the riv-
er was at the flood, there was a de-
crease even from the dry years of
1908 and 1909 of nine-fourteenths.
Heavy. Rairs May Save Situation.
Mr.. Goodnough adds that it is pos
sible that heavy rains may yet save
the situation, but wet summers are
unusual. and the warning that has al
ready been sounded in New York may
be followed by one in New England

each province issues its own currency
and it's value differs from that of an
other province.
The movement to issue uniform
currency to be used throughout the

cussion, and the establishment of the
engraving plant is the beginning of an
entire change in the monetary system
