- We present to our readers this
week the summary of the official re-
port made to the state officers of the

was spent, the expense of each coun-
ty Office, the court expenses, pau
pers, bridges, roads, etc. Also the

the past displayed by Miss Harris yes
terday was that she knew her father and
mother when they visited her. She had
shown no sign OF knowing the doctors or
the nurses II she recalled the fatal acci-
dent she made no mention of It.
"She is still in a state OF amnesis. so
far as the accident and those even re-
motely connected with It are concerned"
is the way one physician put II yester-
day. She has spoken connectedly at
times since she revived from the coma
into which she sank after the death OF
the patient.

young mother. whose death was due TO
the error, took place yesterday. AS yet

One Of the first things that the colonel

Colonel Roosevelt was very cheerful

He stood the Journey well. The colonel
arose and dressed himself ~ 8 O'Clock

"WHOOPER" ROUTS CROWD
Lion House, in Central Park,
Quickly Emptied of Visitors.

Mothers and nursery maids rushed pell
nell out OF the lion house in the Central
Park menagerie yesterday afternoon with
the numerous infants in their care. The
cause Of the sudden break for the open
air was the presence OF a child with
whcoping cough in the crowded lion
house
Many OF the youngsters were from the
Fifth avenue section.
The crowd was densest in front OF the
cage where the lion cubs are kept. While
intently watching the antics of the cubs
TO one seemed to notice child that was
coughing at intervals. When, however
the "whooper" gave vent to a spasm Of
coughing that could not be mistaken. the
cubs had no more attraction for the
mothers and nursery maids.
When an official Of the Department OF
Health was asked II 1t were possible for
the other children In the lion house TO
contract the disease, he said the warm,
crowded structure was first class
medium for the spread of It,
Fresh air, 1t was pointed out, was the
first thing to be considered In the treat
ment of whooping cough, and many moth
ers take their children to the parks at
such time.
There is at present no way OF prevent
ing contact with whoop!ng cough.
