Tracing Typhoid Mary"
Brooklyn Standard-Union. )


 Mary Mallon, known as Typhoid Mary" because of the theory of the department of health that she spreads the germs of that disease. and who was released from North Brother Island on parole, with the condition that she would accept no position as a cook. was arrested at Corona by a sGuad of policemen under the com mand of Lieutenant, Samuel Belton. and taken to North Brother Island where she may pass the rest of her Ire. The arrest was based on a pro- vision of the sanitary code which gives the health department power to take into custody any person with an in- fectious disease. It was only after a long inyestira- tion that the woman, who is fifty years old, was located. She was released from North Brother Island February 1s, 1910, after she had signed a promise that she would nor again take position as a,cook. s.
 The health department. investigate an outbreak of typhoid fever at the Sloane maternity hospital, in .Manhat- ian, in January of this year. when eight cases started among the nurses and physicians of that institution. This was on January II, and by the Fist Of the month a toeaf of twenty nVe cases developed and two of the patients died. The health department learned that the outbreak occurred after the physicians and nurses had partaken of dessert made of gela- tine, which is said to be good hiding place for the typhoid germs. All the kitchen help were examined and all but one woman, who was the cook. gave negative results. The cook showed slight traces of the typhoid germs. but when this fact was given to the health department, the cook. who was employed under name other than Mary MalIon, had de- parted for destination unknown.
 By tracing the references given by the cook. the health department off, cials traced her to Corona, where she was located and taken into custody. The policemen made a canvass of the neighborhood where the woman was evidently in hiding, and when they were sure she was at home one of the policeman climbed up to the window and jumped into the place. A bulldog greeted the man, but the animal was silenced with a piece of meat and the woman was found in an inner room.
 Mary Mallon first came into public rcttce during an outbreak of typhoid fever at Glen Cove, in 1906, when tweny-six cakes developed. The woman herself is but slightly ill. Ecncc the difficulty in tracing the spread os the disease.

The bill to establish Connecticut state farm for inebriates deferred from other legislatures for investiga ton and in the hope of 8 better condition of'the treasury, is on hand again, and will persist until the right settlement O. the matter is made. It entails, CT course, d substantial appro priation,. and that is a difficult, attachment in these times. If the statement that whereas the esta blishmenr of a state farm would cost $50,o00, it costs us $3S0,o00 a year to take care of in- ebriates under the present system could be accepted for what 1t seems 10 say there would be no question of tho economy of establishing the farm at once. But this does not take into account the cost of maintaining this class of delinquents on the rarm. The assurance that they will in great measure take care of themselves re- cHires demonstration.-New Haven Register.

Arlington Cemetery. 

Arlington cemetery becomes more and more a treasure of the nation as patriot bones are laid there. The num- Der of men at rest there grows. The new parts or the southern acres of the cemetery, are being closly dotted with white and gray stones which promise soon to be as numerous as those in the older or oak-sh eltered section of the grounds Monumen other than tn e individual monuments are being ded- icated there. Within a few years have been consecrated the Spanish War monuments, erected by the Legion of Loyal Women; the Confederate monu- ment, the monument to the army of nurses of the Philippines and the Rough Riders monument, and then will follow the erection of the new ann phitheater. Soldiers of the Revolution, of the second war with England of the many Indian wars, of the Mexican war and thousands of the soldiers of the civil war; the Spanish war and the Philippine instruction are buried there. Very likely the revolutionary soldiers resting there are men who fought in the French and Indian wars.
 Arlington is close to Washington, geographically. but too far by the routes of travel. A memorial bridge would link Arlington to Washington in direct way, rectify the isolation of the Lincoln memorial and consti- tute in itself 8 magnificent national monument.

TROLLEY STRIKE CALLED OFF

The strike on the Springfield Street Railway lines has been called off after couple of days duration and the troubles which led to the strike will be taken up and probably settled by the state board of arbitration: The men voted 57O to so in favor of re- suming work, which was an important step towards the settling of tho trouble because it is much easier to reach an amicable agreement when the men are at work than when they are out. There are two claims on the part of the men, one being that trans fer registers be installed and that three conductors discharged for ir- regular accounting be reinstated. The company has agreed to the former re- quest but has refused to take back the discharged men internationally, but it is willing to arbitrate the matter, which in itself is an indication at least that the case in question will be considered by impartial Judges. The union, however, refused to consider this matter in the first place and it is claimed that this refusal was one of the principal causes Of the strike. The board of arbitration does not seem to have any power to act while strike is in progress and that &C., counts in a large measure for the efforts made to have the men return to work first and then have the dis puted points taken up afterwards for settlement.
 Everything considered it is good thing that the men have gone back to work and the chances are that all the difficulties will be patched up. A strike is bad for all parties concerned and just now when business is a bit dull makes it worse still. The reason is coming when the trolley business will improve and it would be re- grettable that anything should happen to interfere with it, while strike is always bad for the employees, who can least afford to remain idle. They would of course receive some assist ance from their union, but it Is better to be at work when the income is larger and there is less liability to expense and the proba ability of running aging to the average person.
