PROCLAMATION REGARD
ING INFANTILE PARALYSIS
By the State Board of Health.

Whereas, Infantile Paralysis, e,-
sentialIy disease Of cities ana
towns and Of childhood, though
sometimes occurring in country
districts and in adults, exists in II
severe epidemic form in New York
and has already spread to other
sections, eight positive or suspicious
cases having been reported in this
state within the last twenty -four
hours, the disease having an aver
age death rate of about 25 per
cent. and a large portion of those
surviving being more or less com
pletely paralyzed, and, whereas,
everywhere the tendency of the
disease is to break over official
control and spread, especially in
the presence of filth and flies in
and around the homes, yards, alleys
and streets, unless every case is
rigidly isolated and all discharges
eIsAoq pure ssou 'leoIql eql moIJ
are promptly burned or disinfected
until complete recovery, and the as
sembling of children is prevented in
really infected districts, now, there
fore,
~ Be It known, that that the State Board
of Health, in the exercise of an
thority vested in it by law, and in
the discharge of public duty, heAe-
by urges and direcrs that the
health and civil authorities of ev.
cry city and town in Kentucky
take immediate steps to clean all
alleys, sheets, tenemonts, public
places and vacant lots and, by
rigid and systematic inspection, tc
require the cleaning and lining Of

all back yards, cellars and premises,
and the thorough screening of
of homes; although in the presence
of this emergency no good citizen
should wait for the law to force
MIN TO an evident duty for the
protection of his family and COM
munity. In the existing emergency,
visits of children under fifteen
years of age from infested or sus-
pected cities should be discouraged,
and when permitted, tho names and
addresses of all such children
should be recorded in the health
office.
Upon the occurrence of a sus-
picious case it should be immec-
lately reported to the health offic-
er, and, without fear or favor, so
rigidly isolated that no one can
enter the room except the nurse
and physician, and the house pla-
carded, or preferably the case sent
to the hospital, and all discharges
burned or disinfected as in a case
of dipththeria and scarlet fever.
All Of this should be most thor
/ oughly done or it will do harm by
giving a false sense of security.
In the event of the disease in any
city or town, except it be an i'm
ported case which can be cared
for as above indicates, the local
authorities are asked to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of restricting the
assembling and travel of children
in places of amusement, schools,
on street ears and trains and, so fan
as practicable, on the streets. Ar
health officers are required by law
! to report this disease TO this
Board, and. they ARE hereby re-
quested to do so by wire at its ex-
pense.
A bulletin containing more COM
plete information on this subject
will be mailed free to any address
upon application.

STARTING IN LIFE

You are soon to leave and break
away from all the tender ties of
home, and go out to seek your for
tune in the world. Let us whisper
a few words of council. We sup
pose YOU wish to be rich; most
people do. We don't think riches
are desirable. We should be sorry
to have inherited wealth. But Il
competence is very desirable, is in.
dispensible. Well, the way to get
it is by forethought to plan, indus
try to execute and prudence to
keep the earnings of your work.
Get what you honestly earn, but
never take more. Money is by no
means the best thing in life. You
are here in this world to become
good man, a wise man, a just
man, an aHecIlOnate man, reIlg-
ious man. Work for your manhood
as much as for money; take as
much pains to get, and as much to
keep it. Keep clear OF vice, es-
pecially intemperance, gambling and
RIGHTEOUSNESS. These three ruin
thousands of young men every
year. And finally, remember, though
absent from the sight of the dear
ones at home you will ever live lin
their hearts; and their highest
earthly wish will be that you may
prove yourself noble man,

Washington, May A. Conferces on the army reorganization bill latv to- day disagreed on important features of the measure and adjourned until matters in disagreement may be taken up in the house.

Notwithstanding lha disagree ment, Senator Chamberlain chairman of the senate conferees. said tonight he had hopes that t good bill would be worked out.
 "The house conferces would Rot yield to the senate provision for the volunteer army or the government nj trate plant" said the senator. "rhera are minor points also which gre in disagreement. but the main points thuG ia~ appear to be the only i1'reconcila- tlc feature.'

Chicago, H.. May 4.-Veterans of the Chicago police department recall cd today as the 30th anniversary of tho great Haymarket riot, in which seven members of the police force were killed and many others serious y injured in an attempt to disperse 3 mob of anarchists assembled in the Haymarket square. As the column of 1S0 policemen closed in on the gathering they were attacked with dynamite bombs and revolvers. Of the anarchist leaders concerned in the outrage, three were hung, a fourth committed suicide while await ing execution two were sentenced to life imprisonment and another given a sentence of 15 years. The three who had been imprisoned were par doned by Gov. Altgeld in 1893. Os- car Neehe, the member of the band who was given 15-year sentence, died at his home in this city little more than a week ago. He was the last survivor of those tried and con- victed in connection with the riots.
