HOLMAN STILL SEEKS
 A PRISON PARDON
HIS ASsIGNEES PROPOSE TO SURRENDER S5oo,ooo TO FREE
 THE LOAN SHARK.

Albany, N. Y, Jan S.-A new prop osition for the pardon of Daniel II, Tolman, money lender, who is serv- ing a six months term for usury. is under consideration by Gov Glynn. It amplifies the previous offer Of Tol- man and his assignees, inasmuch as it proposes to surrender uncondition- ally approximately s500,000 in notes, embracing principal and interest, in return for the remission of the re- mainder of the sentence. The notes are those of nearly 10000 borrowers from Holman in this state. Tolman's s term has little more than two months to run. It is said the new proposal, if accepted, will remove the possibility of any future attempt to realize on the notes.
 Gov. Glynn, it is understood. has been disposed to favor clemency toi Tolinan, but has not acted because he feared some way might be found to push the claims.
 The persons who submitted th' proposition to the governor today said the judge before whom Telmar was convicted was in favor of par don and also that District Attorne, Whitman would not oppose clemency

THE STATE BOARD
SENDS OUT WARNING

in the open Plague is practically the
only disease of rats which causes
them to run out in the open while sick
or dying. When such rat is found 1t
should be Immediately tagged and sent
to the laboratory II the territory un-
der your control is located on a river,
or other stream of water, or on a res
ervoir or lake, especial attention
should be given to the matter of pre-
venting rats coming ashore from boats.
A guard should be placed at the gang
planks at all times and these should
always be taken up at night and the
boat required to "breast off" at least
five feet. Metal rat guards Of the fun
mel type should be used on lines and
hawsers passing to the shore.
Attention is directed to the neces-
sity of rat-proofng all dwellings and
places of business. All rat holes
should be closed with cement, sand
and broken glass. The points of en-
trance and exit of pipes through walls
should be carefully inspected to see
that no passageway exists.
The rodent population is on the av-
erage twice what the human popula-
ton is, and rat destroys on the aver
age of one dollars worth of property
each year. Figure your statistics.
Especial attention should be given
to the proper collection of garbage and
offal which furnish excellent food for
rats. All organic wastes should be kept
in tightly covered cans. All grain and
other food products should be protect
ed. The rat will not stay where food is
scarce. Where food is plentiful rats
reproduce very rapidly breeding at the
early age of three months, with litters
ranging from six to seventeen, three
or four times year.
Kindly keep this department inform.
ed as to your activities in this cam.
paign. The township, village, city or
state which is free from rats will be
free from plague.
Subsequent instructions will be is
sued if the situation warrants.
Yours very truly,

Secretary and Executive officer

Only A Small Amount Yet To
Be Raised
And Essex's Proposition Is
Definitely Accepted

The people Of Mt. Vernon have risen
to the occasion and through pledges
of money ranging from several hun.
dred dollars to small amounts, have
saved one the city's rapidly growing
and valuable manufacturing Institu-
tions. The Essex Glass Co. will be
retained and their bonus Of 5000 and
an eight acre site for their new plant
will be given hem.
The committee of twenty business
men worked steadily all day Friday
soliciting sums of money to swell the
fund. BY six o'clock the total had
been increased to such an amount that
the most satisfactory answer was Civ
en- the Essex Co. With the amount
actually subscribed on paper and with
the verbal pledges of men who could
not be interviewed Friday by the COM
mittee members, the goal was nearly
reached.
The actual total of the subscrip-
tlons was not figured up on account of
the fact that the subscription papers
became widespread during the can
vass. There were ten papers and all
of them bore pledges Of several hum
dred dollars. The small amount re.
naming can be raised quickly, but
with more leisure now that the pro-
ject Is bound to be successful.

upon the successful outcome of their
efforts and the speedy manner lr
which their work was accomplished

To Local Beard To Beware
Of Spread Of Plague By Rats

Ohio is threatened with an epidem-
ic of the plague, the Asiatic disease
imported to the Pacific coast but now
spreading through southern and up in
to the central states. The health au-
thorities of state and nation are TAX
ing active measures to prevent Is
spread. The following communication
from the state board was received by
the health officer this morning:
To Health Boards and Health Offic-
ers:
/ desire to direct your attention to
the fact that an epidemic of plague
threatens this state and country. The
disease is spread largely through the
agency of the rat and other rodents,
such as ground squirrels, and is trans
mitted from rat to rat and to man by
the bite of the rat flea. The plague has
been present in the states on the Pa
cific coast since 1900 and it's spread
eastward has only been stopped by the
vigorous steps taken by these states
and by the Federal government. The
diesase has also appeared several times
within the last few years and months
in Cuba and Porto Rico and within
the last week cases have developed in
New Orleans. The United States Pub
lie Health Service is taking active
charge of the general preventive work.
The state departments of health
have been requested to notify all local
health departments of the situation
and to call attention to the necessity
of beginning rat determination and sur
vey campaigns at once. You are here
by requested to take steps to secure
the determination of all rats within
your jurisdiction. All rats killed,
caught or found dead should be tagged
to indicate the point from which they
came, and carefully examined bacter-
iologically at your laboratory.
Especial attention should be given
to the examination of rats found dead

PAPER
On Road 27 Years Before II
Was Delivered
Newark Advocate)


Many are the stories that have been
told about the slowness in delivery of
mail and freight, but in the case of
a paper which was recently delivered
to Mr.. John F. Flanagan of North
Fourth street, the truth is stranger
than fiction.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Flanagan had
delivered to him by mails, a copy of
the Catholic Columbian, dated Satur-
day. January %, 1887. The paper was
delivered in the regular way but was
just q years late, and where it has
been in the intervening years is not
known. 1t is yellow with age, and a
large spot of oil mars the front page.
Coincident with this about year
ago in cleaning up the bakery Mr..
Flanagan was going over bread
basket which had been discarded.
Opening one he found three packages
containing hats from the Columbus
Dry Goods company. They were about
a year old then, and had been in the
basket from the time it was returned
by the express companies until found
by Mr. Flanagan. They were made
up with feathers and trimmings
which were valued at about $40 and
were returned to the Columbus firm.
The newspaper is being kept by
Mr.. Flanagan as curio, and bears
the name slip and the time of the
expiration of the subscription.
