Important Omlsslon.

In the GAZETTE’S editorial yesterday,
anent the Union Manufacturing com-
pany’s condition, the omission of a line
resulted in conveying an entirely dif-
ferent meaning from that intended as
it apparently‘reflected upon the finan-
cial or business management, when it
was to the mechanical or practial man-
ufacturing management inside the mill
that the factory’s misfortune was im-
puted. The sentence should have read

thus: .
“It is, however and doubtless sub-

stantially, explained by the want of

capable administration in the manu-

facturing department of the mill.”

Thanksglvlng Dav. To—morrow.

To-morrow, by State and National
proclamation, is to be our great annual
family festival. To the young and
light hearted, Thanksgiving day is com-
ing to be more and more, a mere jo-
cund holiday, but to pater and mater
families, it means the reunion of their
children and loved ones from far and
near, at the old hearth-stone and around
the “home” table, Thus is cherished
and kept alive, the tenderest memories
and associations of our human lives.
It preserves our sacred family organi‘
zation and ties, and thus strengthens
the bonds of our civil government and
makes better citizens of us all. But
Thanksgiving day would fall of its
highest benefactions did it not also
awaken in every heart a deeper love of
our neighbor, and a more helpful sym-
pathy for those upon whom the heavy
hand of poverty has fallen, in this glo-
rious land of peace and plenty.

The devout will “assemble in their
usual places of worship and give grate-
ful praise and thanksgiving to God for
His manifold mercies,” as recited in
the official proclamation, but the truth
will still remain, that he loves God
best, who best loves and helps his fel-
lowmen. So let one and all, seek out
the needy and make ourselves deserv-
ing the blessings we enjoy, by doing
such good to others as we have oppor-
tunity. .,

"Oh what a world this would be—

If less mindful of self,

Each esteemed his neighbor a brother,

And whenever he did a bit good to'him-

self,

He did a bit good to another.”

ing bridesmaid and Mr. Fred. Thomp-
son acted as best man. The bride wore

Recommends Good Water.

The following is in substance the re.
port of Health ofiiccr W. J. Tracey, in
conformity with the public acts of 1893.
Mr. Tracy was appointed health officer
the fifteenth of October 1893. During
the second week in December be caused

published in the local papers.

Since that time he reports the num-
ber of contagious deseases as follows:
diphtheria, 9; scarlet fever, 16; mea-
sles, 9; typhoid fever, 4.

Within twenty-four hours after the
report of each of the above cases was
received the house was yisited. In cases
of typhoid fever the portion of the
house occupied by the patient was
quarantined . _

During the sickness in such cases
every precaution was taken to limit the
spread of the disease by the isolation of
the patient and the use of proper disen-
fectants. After convalescence or death
of the patient from contagious diseases
the house,clothing etc,were thoroughly
disinfected by fumigation, beiling of
clothing, washing of furniture, walls,
etc.

When patients have died from such
sickness the body has been buried With-
The funeral has
been strictly private, no one but the
immediate family being allowed.

In reference to sanitary inspection
fifteen complaints were received divi-
ded as follows: water closets 7; cess-
pools, 4; garbage, etc, 3 stagnant
water, 1 . In thirteen of the cases or-
ders for the abatement of the some
were issued, from which no appeals
were taken.

The following is a report verbatim of
the paper in refernce to the public
buildings.

I paid a visit to the jail for the pur-
pose of sanitary inspection. The cells
were found to be in a cleanly condition,
having been recently whitewashed and
painted. The building itself is very
defective and lacks the necessary facil-
ities for the protection and comfort to
which a prisoner is entitled. The rooms
are not properly ventilated. One.apart-
ment containing three cells and a water-
closet is furnished with one small Win.
dow ; this one is high from the floor
and so well protected by grating and
bars as to almost shut out God’s sun-
light. The prisoners occupying these
cells are not only deprived of a suflii
cient amount of fresh air and sunlight,
but that which they receive is contam-
inated by the foul odors arising from
the closet. This structure is a disgrace
to the town. It should be either torn
down and a new one erected or“such
alterations made as to provide for
proper ventilation and an addition built
for a bathroom and closet.

As to public schools he says: Child-
ren afflicted with diseases of a conta~
gious nature and those occupying the
same house are not allowed to attend
school until danger from contagion has
passed.

As to water and ice he reports : Dur-
ing the summer the water in our reser-
voir has been very low. We have had
more sickness and a higher death rate
in proportion to our population than
any other town in the state. Whether
the low condition of our reservoir and
the prevalence of intestinal diseases at-
tended with such a high mortality was
a mere coincidence, or‘bears the rela.
tion of cause and effect, I will not at-
tempt to answer. Complaint has been
received that ice dealers were using
water taken from the watering tanks
for cleaning their ice. On investiga-
tion the report was found to be true
and orders were}: issued that the prac-
tice must cease.

The number of resident physicians
is reported as 22; alopathic, 15; homeo-
pathic, 4; electric, 3 (one graduate) ;
midwives,3.

Ofa public hospital he says “We

have no building controlled by the
town for the cure of contagious dis-
eases."
, The following appears in the report
in reference to public health: “The
most important thing for the promo-
tion and preservation of health in a
community is a bountiful supply of
pure water. During the past summer
we have had almost a water famine.
We have had also, I believe, the most
unhealthy summer the town has ever
experienced. It is absolutely necessary
that provision should he made at once
for an abundant water supply,unneces—
sary delay in this matter is criminal
for by it the health and lives of the
community may be exposed.” ‘

Amusements.
Hox'r’s OPERA HOUSE.

It is a fad among the fashionablp and
swell ladies and gentlemen of London
and New York, to organize slumming
expeditions, to visit the notorious por-
tions of the cities, such as Whitechapel

of New York, in company and under
the guidance of detectives. They see
life after nightfall in a great city and
actually come in contact with the most
dangerous characters. Audiences wit-
nessing the play “In the Tenderloin: or
New York after midnight,” find what
they see is true to life. The company
interpreting the play is headed by that
sterling actor, Frederick Bryton, who
for years starred in “Forgiven.” It
will be produced in Hoyt’s Opera
House, riday night, November 30.

MUSIC HALL.

The Sousa festival concert occurs at
Music Hall next Monday afternoon.
With two great vocalists, fifty of the
best musicians the country affords, and
with John Philip Sousa himself, per-
haps the most graceful and brilliant
bandmaster in the States, at their head
With a program of infinite variety and
a lot of catchy and popular encores, in-
cluding his own marches, behind them,
what lover of good music and of a“ good
time can afford to turn his back upon
them, no matter what the Weather
threatens or the thermometer marks.

with health officer W. J. Tracey visited
the different ponds in this vicinity from
which ice is cut and sold for domestic
use. The result of such investigation
was the condemnation of the pond
known as the Fourteen acre pond' and
a pond near Whistleville known as the

er, Mrs. Powell came up town and
accused the girl of purloining the
watch. While the two were conversmg
a sister of the suspected girl slipped out
of the house and in a short time re-
turned with the watch and handed it
over. After receiving the time-piece
Mrs. Powell returned to South Nor-
walk and calling at Podmore’s store
she inquired of the proprietor if he had
ever seen a similar watch. After a
short examination Mr. Podmore said
that the watch had been redeemed
bfrom him byagirl only a short time
before Mrs. Powell’s arrival. A des-
cription of the girl satisfied Mrs. Pow-
all that her suspicions had been well
founded.

half a mile from McKay. Here the train
stopped for water. Brown retired after
leaving Fort Smith to a. berth In the rear
end of the sleeper. Behind was the spe- _
clal car. containing McKee and Walsh, a
third gentleman and the servants. The
conductor of the train passed through the
sleeper at this point, and Brown got up
from the berth, and standing in the aisle
asked what was the matter. The con-
ductor, seeing that he was nervous, re-
sponded, “Oh, nothing.”

, The conductor saw Brown no more.
When the train reached McKay, a shot
was heard in the rear end of the train, but
no attention was paid to it except by Con-
ductor Morgan, who, after the train had
started, went back and examined the pis-
tol belonging to Pullman Porter Barker
and found it loaded all round. Two citi-
zone of McKay say they saw the body of
Brown thrown off the train afterthe shot
we]? fired.

he supposition is that the Pullman
conductor was shot While standing on the
plathrm between the special and sleeper,
and’that it was from a stray bullet. The
cook and porter are in the United States
jail, and James McKee and Walsh are out
on $5,000 ball.
