PREVENTABLE DISEASES.
FACTS CONCEKNING THE DEEAD SIS
EASE, DIPHTHERIA.
How It Hay be Avoided — Tbe Best
Known Methods of Combatting a
Malignant Enemy.
The State Board of Eealth has issued an
interesting document devoted to the sub
ject of diphtheria—its prevention and cure-
This ia the season of the year when that
'disease is most apt to appear, and as ii is
one of the most malignant and stubborn
known to the medical profession, it would
be well for people to read carefully what
the experienced physicians of the State
Board of Health have to say on the sub
ject. The circular referred to is signed by
Dr. H. 8. Orme of Los Angeles, President
of the Board, and Dr. G. G. Tyrrell of this
City, the Secretary. They say:
Diphtheria having recently shown evi
dence of a tendency to spread and assume
a more malignant type, the State Board of
Health deems it prudent to disseminate as
widely as possible among the people the
knowledge of certain facts and principles,
which seem to be weli established, ns to
the nature and causes of this disease, and
the best mode of its restriction and pre
vention.
All are agreed that diphtheria, like other
zymotic diseases, is not the necessary lot of
humanity; that it is preventable; that its
ravages are due, in very large measure, to
neglect; to the violation, in one way or
another, of sanitary laws, and that, though
it may not be generated by filth, it finds
there a soil favorable to its development,
that it grows and flourishes there, and that
the human system is rendered by it espe
cially sensitive to morbific influences of
every kind. A susceptibility to disease,
and to the contagious principle by which it
is propagated, is thus induced, and hence
the liability of its dissemination among
the members of a family, or others more
remotely acd indirectly exposed, is greatly
increased. It is better, therefore, to avoid
whatever may tend to depress the energies
and lower the vital resistance to disease.
This, it is certain, filth and uncleanliness
in and around the dwelling does.
Though there is much in common
among the contagious diseases as to the
method of their propagation by contagion,
there are differences peculiar to each which
it is important to bear in mind.
In small-pox, the special seat of activity
of the contag;utu—'"its breeding-places,"
to use a common term —is in the skin and
its eruption and the contents of the ve
sicles, and in lhe secretions from the mouth
and throat; in scarlet fever, in the skin,
even to the termination of the desquamat
ive or peeling process, and in the secre
tions; in measles, in the skin, and in the
discharges from the mouth, nose, and air
passages, and probably in tbe tears; in
diphtheria, in the throit. nose, or other
seat of the exudation of membranous de
posit.
Thesa msy be considered the special
sects or vehicles of contagion, while in all
these diseases, with varying degrees of cer
tainty, communication may be established
through the breath, the perspiration, the
discharges from the mouth and throat, by
articles of clothing, or other substances
with which the various secretions and ex
halations of the body may, either through
the atmosphere, or more directly, have
come in contact. There is also reason to
believe that the contagium of diphtheria is
conveyed by the evacuations from the
bowels of those sick with the disease, and
by water or milk contaminated therewith.
The disease seems also to be capable of
being conveyed by means of the domestic
animals, as dogs and cats, which have fre
quented the apartments of the sick.
From a consideration of these general
facts pertaining to the causation of diph
theria may be deduced tules for its hygienic
management and its prevention.
its hygienic management.
The disease having been introduced into
a family, the fact cf its contagiousness
should be promptly recognized, and suit
able precautions taken:
(a) By strict isolation of tbe sick. Shut
ofl all communication with the house,
especially by children, and admit to the
apartment only those absolutely required
as nurses. Though children are very
much more liable to the disease than
adults, and commonly have it in a more
severe form, the latter do have it, and, be
sides, by visiting the sick, expose them
selves to the ri-k of conveying the con
tagion to others. Visits of sympathy,
therefore, however benevolent and com
mendable their motives, sbould be avoided.
(6) Other members of the family—chil
dren under fifteen years of age more
urgently, for reasons just stated —should
be removed, if possible, to a part oi the
house having no direct communication
with the apartment occupied by the sick
person. If the latter is in the upper stories
of the house, probably the rooms on lower
floors may be safely used.
(c) The room occupied by the sick should
be lar^e, exposed, where practicable, to the
sunlignt, and capable of being well ventil
ated. It should be remembered, in this
connection, lhat by good ventilation is un
derstood an abundance of fresh air without
a draught. All useless furniture—curtains,
carpets and the like—should be removed.
A disinfectant solution should be kept in
the room in an uncovered vessel, in which
infected clothing suitable for washing,
soiUJ shirts, pillow cases, blankets, etc.,
sbould be soaked before removal from the
apartment. They sbould then be boiled.
The same disinfectant solution, being stain
less, may be sprinkled over the bedding
and carpets, when Ihe latter have not been
removed, or it may be occasionally diffused
through the room by an ordinary spray in
strument, thus reaching and destroying in
fectious particles in the atmosphere.
A solution recommended for tbe above
.purposes may be cheaply made by dissolv
ing eight ounces of sulphate of zinc (white
vitriol) and four ounces of common salt in
a gallon of water. It is better than carbolic
acid, and bas the additional advantage of
being odorless. For convenience the in
gredients may be mixed by using four ta
bleepoonluls of zinc, two of salt and one
gallon of water.
(d) All discharges from the bowels and
kidneys of tbe patient suould be immedi
ately disinfected by pouring over them,
liberally, tbe disinfectant just mentioned,
or by a solution of sulphate of iron (cop-_
peras, or green vitriol), made by dissolving
about one and one-half pounds of tbe salt
in a gallon of water. They should then be
removed and, preferably, buried, and never
less tban one hundred feet distant from any
well.
The secretions of the nose and throat
should be received upon rags, and these
burned.
(.) Nurses and attendants should be re
quired to keep themselves and their pa
tients as clean as possible—their own hands
should frequently be washed and disin
fected by euiorinated soda, or carbolic acid
solution. The attendants upon the sick
-should not communicate nor associate with
other members of the family, or with the
public, withoui having first changed tbeir
clothes and washed and disinfected them
selves. The zinc solution may be advan
tageously used for tbis purpose; or thymol
(a substance obtained from the common
thyme and - une other plants), prepared by
dissolving one half ounce ol thymol in two
ounces of alcohol, and adding a tablespoon
ful of tbis to one-half gallon of water. I:
is believed to be a valuable disinfectant,
equal to and less disagreeable than carbolic
acid. Tbis solution may also be used as a
spray about tbe room.
Corrosive sublimate, in the proportion of
a quarter of an ounce to the gallon, is an
unsurpassed germicide and disinfectant,
but has the disadvantage of being excess
ively poisonous, and therefore dangerous
for general use.
(f) Death ocenrring, the body shonld be
thoroughly washed with the tine solution,
and then wrapped in a sheet wet by a >ak
ing in tbe same. It should then b. \< aced
in a tight coffin. The funeral should be
private. The body clothes worn by the
deceased should be burned, or effectually
treated with tbe zinc solution as above ad
Tised.
{g) Is case of recovery of the patient, he
should still be kept apart from others—es
pecially children—until all his clothing
ttas been completely disinfected with the

assemblages, until in the judgment of a
competent medical authority it is safe lo
do so. The tenacity of the contagious
principle in <jip_tl_l.-_6 l» admitted to bs
very greet, and the period of -^c »ft« re
covery from the disease when the danger
of its communication to others may be
considered past, is as yet uncertain. There
is good evidence of the fact that the dis
ease has been conveyed by infected cloth
ing several weeks, and even months, after
having been worn.
(A) The roc.ni occupied by the sick
should, after the recovery or death of the
latter, be vacated and completely disin
fected. This is best done by the fumes of
sulphur. As already mentioned, articles
too valuable to be burned, such bs linens,
flannels, blankets, etc., may be treated with
the boiling zinc solution.
Other heavy articles, as woolen cloth
ing, pillows, furs, and the like, which
cannot be boiled, should be suspended
and exposed in the room to be disinfected,
and. after the completion of this process,
hung in the open air. Mattresses and
other upholstered articles should be ripped
open, for better exposure to the fumes of
the disinfeding agent. Carpets may be
left on the floor, but afterwards taken to
the open air and beaten.
In usine sulphur, the rooms to be fumi
gated must be vacated. Place the sul
phur in iron pans, supported upon bricks
set in a tub containing a little water, and
ignite it by the aid of a spoonful or two
of alcohol; or place the pan containing
the sulphur over hot coals, in a basin of
hot ashes resting upon bricks. By the
adoption of eilher of these plans, danger
from tire will be avoided. During fumi
gation, the windows, doors, and all flues
and crevices by which the furaes might
escape, sbould "be closed, and so remain
for twenty-four hours. The rooms may
then be opened and ventilated for some
hours, the wood-work washed, and the
walls whitened or repapered. Two pounds
of sulphur will be required for a room
ten feet square.
Dry heat, at 230° or 250° Fahrenheit,
where it can be applied, is likewise a valu
able disinfectant.
1. Under this clause are included many
of the precepts inculcated in the preceding
pages, especially such as relate to cleanli
ness. The cardinal principle to be observed,
applicable lo all zymotic diseases, is clean
liness. This term not only applies to the
person—to individual freedom from filthi
ness—but to the surroundings of the dwell
ing, to accumulations of refuse or decaying
animal or vegetable materials in the cellar
or about tbe premises, to the privy, cess
pool, drains aud sewer, and to the water
supply, that it is not contaminated through
these sources.
See that the house drains are properly
laid, trapped, ventilated aud disconnected
by ventilation from the sewer, that disin
fectants are properly used therein, and that
there is no leakage therefrom. For such
disinfecting purposes the solution of cop
peras is the best and cheapest—five pounds
to a bucketlul of water.
2. Look to the cellar, that it is dry and
clean, containing no filthy water, concealed
filthy wells or cesspools—no heaps of de
caying vegetables.
3. Whenever shallow wells are used for
drinking water, tbeir surroundings should
be perfectly clean; they should be protected
against the slop-water and other filthy
liquids thrown in the vicinity; and tbey
should be at a safe distance frcm unce
mented privies anu cesspools.
The precise definition of the word "safe,"
in this connection, is perhaps, somewhat
indefinite. Much will depend upon the
geological character of the soil and the
topography. It is considered that tbe dis
tance from the well to the cesspool should
not, under ordinary circumstances, be less
than 100 feet.
In some of our valley towns, not easily
drained, in which leaky privy vaults and
cesspools have been used since their early
settlement—never emptied, but covered
when full and others dug near by—the soil
must be saturated, and well water, under
any circumstances, is unsafe.
4. Avoid the sources of contagion. Be
ware of crowded assemblies in ill venti
lated rooms. When diphtheria occurs in
a family, other children connected there
with should be withdrawn from school
until danger of infection is past. There is
probably more danger of the communica
tion of diphtheria in the school-room than
is the case with any other disease, from the
fact that it often occurs in so mild a form
aa to be unrecognized ; yet from the mild
est case the most malignant may result.
5. Sore throat, when occurring in a child,
particularly during the prevalence of diph
theria, should be looked upon wi'h suspi
cion, the more so when there is fever aud
bad breath. The disease has often been
conveyed by such an one by kissing, or by
drinking from the same cup. As scarlet
fever may occur without the rash, so there
may be diphtheria without the character
istic membrane upon the throat.
6. Avoid tbe ordinary causes of disease
—imprudence in living, exposure, unsuit
able or insufficient clothing, and whatever
can lend to lower the vital resistance to
epidemic inlaeace. Sound health is one
of lhe best preservatives against infectious
diseases.
The question is often asked: How long
must we keep the patient isolated, and from
school? In reply to this query we cannot
do better than give the result of tbe delib
erations of Ihe Paris Academy of Medicine
upon this subject, as applied to children
with contagious disease :
1. Pupils stricken with chicken-pox,
small-pox, scarlet fever, measles, mumps,
or diphtheria, should be strictly isolated
from their comrades.
2. For small-pox, scarlet fever, measles,
and diphtheria, isolation should not be
shorter tban forty days; for chicken-pox
and mumps, twenty-five days is enough.
3 Isolation sbould last until after the
patient has been bathed.
4. The clothing worn by the patient at
the time he was taken sick should be sub
jected to a temperature of 90° Centigrade
(194° Fahrenheit), and to sulphur vapor,
and then well scoured.
5. The pupil of a school, after recovery
from one of the above contagious diseases,
should not be readmitted to tbe school un
less furnished with tbe certificate of a
physician that the above precautions have
been observed.

City Attorney Hart had his overcoat
taken from his office on Thursday last, and
yesterday it was recovered. The police
had been hunting for a certain party in
town, and it appears that he gave his
valise to a companion, who went to Davis
ville. While there an officer found tbe
valise and brought it to this city and
among its contents was Mr. Hart's coat.
The thiel bas not yet been arrested.

TEE KIND OF SCORE MADE IT THE
OAKLANDS YESTERDAY.
While the Sacramentos Filed lp Four
teen Runs-Cantilllun at His
Usual Tricks.
The Oaklands suffered an i.glorious de
feat yesterday, the Sacramento club white
washing Mr. Robinson's team, and at the
same time piling up fourteen tuns for
themselves. Had the visiting club made
even a run or two in the first part of the
game, the contest would not have been as
exciting as it was. for the interest centered
in the endeavor of the Senators to shut out
their opponents. And the shut-out was
most complete.
Hoffman pitched a game that he may
feel proud of, and it was the second time he
had shut out the Oakland team. He had
perfect control of the ball, and not one
man of the opposing team was given Lis
base on balls. Three hits aie credited to
the Oakland club, but two of them were
certainly disputable. The brilliant sup
port afforded Hoffman by his fielders rave
him unlimited confidence, and the Oak
lands found great difficulty in placing the
ball safely out of reach of an in-fielder or
a player in the out-field. In fact, there
was not a hit driven outside the diamond.
During the entire nine innings only six
of the Oaklands succeeded in reaching first
base. Not one reached tbe second bag
until the ninth inning, when Sbaw had
the honor of getting as tar as the third cor
ner, which was as near as the visiting club
came to scoring. In that inning, Sbaw
having gained third base and Cantillion
reaching first, the former tried to score en
Bowman's throw to second base. Tbe ball
was thrown home again, and Sbaw was
caught on the line and touched out by
Godar. Not a hit was made off Hoffman
untii the eighth inning.
The Oaklands were certainly badly crip
pled in their infield. "Tip" O'Neill could
not play, as he had not paid thefine of $100
against him, and Lohman was not able to
catch on account ot the injury received
from a foul tip on Sunday last. As a re
sult of these mishaps Dungan was com
pelled to catch, Lohman was assigned to
first base and Dooley guarded third base.
The change gave the nine a bad case of
"rattles," and seven of the most costly er
rors that could be made were accomplished
by the "terrors" from Emeryville.
Sweeney had to be given an error, accord
ing to the rules, that seemed almost unfair.
He was on an easy run for a fly-ball in the
fourth innicg, when he suddenly slipped
and fell on his back just as the ball was
about to reach him. He made a desperate
grab for it as he was falling, but the ball
passed over bim, and .McHale scored,
making the circuit of the bases on the hit.
By right another error ought to be given to
the center fielder. He clearly misjudged
and muffed a long hit by McHale in the
seventh inning, but got no error.
Godar also should have receive 1 an _.ror
in the ninth inning for fumbling a ground
ball, and it is questionable whether or not
Lohman should have been given an error
in the seventh inning. There was a run
ner on third base, and only oue out, so that
the play was to keep tbe man on third from
scoring. The batter hit the ball towards
the left of Cantillion, and Lohman ran for
and caught it on the rebound. He returned
it to the plate, but too late —the runner had
-cored. He received an error for not cov
ering first base and permitting Cantillion
to field the ball. As Lohman fielded the
ball perfectly and made a straight throw to
tbe plate, it appears hardly just to give him
an error.
Cantillion got the crowd excited when he
appeared with a bat which was flat on one
side. Everybody thought he was trying to
cheat the rules, and the Sacramento mana
gers went out to take a look at the curiosity.
They made an objection, but Stapleton
told them it was all right—that the rules
allowed it—and the managers went away,
while "Tip" O'Neill, who was sitting on the
bench, almost had a cramp from laughing.
Cantillion had a right to tease the au
dience, so long as he kept within bounds
and did not overstep the rules, but his con
duct yesterday on -the diamond was not
that of a conscientious ball-player, and it
is surprising tbat Umpire Meegan did not
fine him or remove him from tbe field.
Cantillion was not in the best of sorts, and
the jeers of the crowd made him worse.
At one time during the game, after the
Sacramentos had finished their turn to bat
and were walking out to their positions,
Cantillion deliberately threw the ball away
against the left field fence. The umpire
said nothing. At another time, wbile act
ing as coacber, he ran onto the diamond, in
front of Stapleton, and caught a ball which
Hoffman threw to first to put out a runner.
This bit of smartness was also overlooked,
but tbe next act Cantillion did was suffi
cient to warrant bis bring disfranchised
from playing ball in the California League.
Asthe Oaklands were going out to their
positions he asked Lohman to throw the
ball to bim. and upon receiving it he threw
it with all bis might at the crowd standing
behind lhe low fence in front of the grand
stand. Fortunately most of those near tbe
fence saw tbe ball coming and dodged in
time to get out of the way. The umpire
took no notice of tbe deliberate attempt of
Cantillion to injure and possibly kill some
body. Tbe act was cowardly, and bad the
perpetrator been nearer the fence he would
undoubtedly bave been severely thrashed.
Tbe League Directorsshould be calied upon
to investigate his conduct. Following is

San Fkancisco. November 7th.—Oakland
has a very small chance of winning the
baseball pennant, and Manager Robinson
to day conceded his defeat. The San Fran
ciscos won the game with Stockton at
Emeryville, and the Senators defeated the
Colonels at Sacramento. The probabilities
are now that Sacramento will walk away
with tbe pennant, although San Francisco
bas a fighting chance of winning it.

TO ASSIST THE BOARD.
Lincoln White and IS. 8. Hyams Likely
to Canvass Election Returns.
Much of the time of the Board of Super
visors yesterday afternoon was consumed
in debating the matter and manner of con
ducting the canvass of the election returns
next week. On Thursday members of the
Board informally expressed the belief that >
the services of a couple of expert account
ants would be necessary to assist in un
raveling tbe mysteries of the new system
of making up reiurns. and that the gentle
men selected would probably be such as
would be satisfactory to tbe committees of
the two principal parties. It was developed
yesterday, however, that certain persons
nad been working upon members of the
Board in their own interest, fjr when the
matter came up Mr. Greer nominated Lin
coln White as one of the clerks, and Mr.
Ross nominated E. S. Hyams.
The suggestion was then made tbat the
County Committees might, if they wished,
select persons to represent them, such rep
resentatives to remain outside the railing
and to interfere in the canvass only iv case
tbey supposed the count was going wrong.
Nobody, however, volunteered to explain
how any person outside the rail could
know or understand what the clerks inside
were doing.
A communication was received from W.
J. Davis, Chairman of the Republican
County Committee, stating that C. C. Rob
ertson's services as clerk would be satis
factory to that committee.
After considerable discussion, the matter
was. on motion of Mr. Ross, continued un
til 11 o'clock this forenoon. The present
outlook is that Lincoln White and E. S.
Hyams will be the persons selected to as
sist the Supervisors in the work of canvass
ing the returns.

SUCCESSFUL DEMOCRATS.
Four Elected to County Offices and Two
in This City.
In the confusion resulting from the
mixed condition in which tbe unofficial
returns of the late election were received,
the success of some of the candidates on
the Democratic ticket has been overlooked.
A review of the battlefield sb.ws tbat,
in addition to Sheriff. Assessor, Assembly
man from the Twentieth District and Po
lice Judge, the Democrats elected George
F. Bronner for Public Administrator, Winn
for Surveyor and Brissell for Constable in

FITZGERALD'S VOTE.
Be Bold lt For a Dollar and a Half, and
Sw»re Falsely.
James Fitzgerald* was examined in the
Police Court yesterday on a charge of illegal
voting.
Jamas Fitzgerald (not the defendant)
took the stand anil testified that he went to
the polling place, near Third and J
streets, on Tuesday afternoon to vote, but
was refustd on the ground that a man by
his name had already cast his ballot.
Jacob Bauer, one of the inspectors at the
the polls, stated that t .c defendant came to
the polls and gave his name, but was chal
lenged. In answer to questions, Fitzeerald.
the defendant, said he lived at 1010 Third
street, and that he worked on a steamboat.
The inspector then swore him, and he cast
his vote.
Some time afterward the real Fitzgerald
came along, and when he found he could not
vote he made a complaint, and the other
man was arrested.
Officer May eaid the prisoner admitted
to him on the way down to the Police Sta
tion that he was paid to vote, and that he
lived near the Western Hotel. The officer
took him to 1010 Third street, where he
had previously claimed he resided, and
found tbat the landlord there did not know
him and had never accommodated him in
the house.
The defendant swore that his name was
Fitzgerald, and tbat he was iegisterc.l last
spring. He said a friend offered him
money to vote, and found the name on the
register. He was somewhat intoxicated at
tbe time, and did not perfectly understand
what he waa doing.
Judge Buckley Baid he believed a clear
case had been madeout by the prosecution,
and that the man was guilty of three
offenses, and all for $1 50, the amount he
said he had received for the vote. I'nder
the law he was guilty of selling his vote,
perjury nnd illegal voting. His decision
was, however, reserved until to-day.
MORE CONVICTIONS.
Downey and O'Neill Will Accompany
Keliy to the State Prison.
The trial of Thomas Downey and Con.
O'Neill, two of the Cascade car burglars,
was concluded in Judge Armstrong's Court
yesterday morning, and resulted in the
conviction of the prisoners.
Assistant District Attorney Bruner con
ducted the piosecution in an able manner.
A less skillful attorney would certainly
have failed in securing a conviction, as
thtre were many features involved in the
case calculated to greatly complicate mat
ters and render conviction extremely diffi
cult. Detective Burke declares that in his
experience with cases of similar character
be had never known one to be presented to
a Court and jury in a clearer or more forci
ble manner.
Downey, O'Neill and Kelly will be sen
tenced at 10 o'clock tbis morning.
The Boycott Case.
Yesterday afternoon's session of Judge
Armstrong's Court was consumed in tbe
hearing of arguments on the application
of McClatchy ct Co. for a permanent in
junction restraining members of tbe Fed
erated Trades from carrying out their plans
| to boycott the plaintiffs busiuess among
the advertisers and subscribers of the Bee.
The temporary restraining order was va
cated, and argument on tbe main issue was
commenced by Grove L. Johnson on behalf
of the defense. He argued that the com
plaint was defective, in that it did not set
forth the nature of the alleged illegal acts
complained oi. Tbe arguments were not
concluded at the ho_r of adjournment.
