CHILDREN'S GREATEST ENEMY. Most Effective Methods for the Treat ment of Diphtheria. » ——--______ valuable Suggestions Furnished by tho State Board of Health-Parents Should Study Them. A pamphlet has been compiled by the State Board of Health, for general distri bution, which in brimfull of information tbat is valuable to all persons, and espec ially to parents and others who have the care of children. Diphtheria is so fre quently malignant and fatal in its effects that tho .State Board of Health, in the ex ercise of its functions in the restriction and prevention of disease, deems it neces sary to furnish the public with informa tion with reference to the manner of its propagation, coupled with such sugges tions concerning tho best known methods of limiting its progress, as any person of average intelligence may easily put to practical use. It should be generally understood that diphtheria isa contagious and infectious disease, which attacks by preference the young, and especially those who.se vital resistance has been reduced by exposure to tilth, uncleanliness, the emanations from sowers, drains, and all unsanitary influences. HOW DIPHTHERIA IS OOKTBACTED, The infectious substance of diphtheria is conveyed from the mouth, noso, air passages, and discharge s from the bowels of those who have the disease. It is ho- j lieved, with some reason, that the perspi ration and urine may contain it. Domes tic animals, such as cats, dogs, chickens and tame pigeons are credited with car rying the disease from one person to another, either by having the disease themselves. or becauso of having beon handled by persons who were af flicted with it. It may be transmiito «In water, milk, or other liquids, or in food or clothing, or by kissing a person who lias a sore throat without suspicion thai it is diphtheria. The secretions of the month and nose of a diphtheritic patient, mixed as they must necessarily bo with tiio exudative deposit, are often allowed to fall upon the bedclothes and carpels, where liny dry and remain for au indefinite length of time. These are liable to be detached by tho friction of tho fabric, or the shunting of feet upon the door, when the poison rises as dust in lino particles and iodg"s in tin- throat, nose, windpipe,or stomach of the person who may respire tho air so contaminated. Some persons have so much vital re sistance to disease that it doe- not take root and develop. < >thers, how es er, havo the susceptibility to its growth and fatal effects. It should bo remembered that a malig nant form of the disease may be con tracted from a person having it in a very mild form. Exposure to an atmosphere contami nated by the body of a person who has died of diphtheria is extremely danger ous. BULBS AMI PRECAUTIONS TO liE OB SERVED. i. Whenever diphtheria is known to be in the neighborhood, all children with soro throats should bo kept apart from othor children until a competent physi cian has determined that the sore throat i.s not diphtheria. _". A person witii diphtheria should bo placed in a room in the upper story ofthe house, if convenient, as remote aspossi-] from direct communication with others, and access should lie denied to ail but tho necessary attendants. All super fluous iuruiture, including carpets, cur tains, clothing and books, should be re moved trom tlie apartment. There should bo free ventilation without drafts. :■*. A card with "Diphtheria" printed in iarge type sliould be placed in a conspicu- j ous position on tho house-, and no child I should be allowed to enter. 4. No food or drink that has boon ex posed to tho atmosphere of tho sickroom should be used by well persons, and the dishes used iv the sickroom should be washed separately. 5. Neither the bedclothes nor the patient's body linen should bo mixed with other soiled clothes or admitted to tiie general wash until they are tirst dis infected. 6. N< recently recovered from diphtheria should attend school, church or other public assemblies until declare d impotent physician to be no longer le ol transmitting the contagion. 7. Under no circumstances should a public funeral be held of a person dead of diphtheria. Neither must children be {permitted to attend. Opon this point tealth officials cannot be too tirm and un yielding. All personal cons-derations and seniiment must be subordinated to considerations of public safety. The importance of this course should be explained by the medical profession to clergymen of all denominations, and their inlluence and co-operation earnestly solicited, in order that the objections and prejudices ol the careless and uninformed may be more easily overcome. DISINFECTION. As the discharges from the nose and throat ore highly contagious, they -hould bo received on cloths, which should be Immediately burned The urine, vomited matter, and discharges trom the bow.'ls should be received in a vessel containing a solution of chloride of lime In the pro- Kntionof six or eight or more tablespoon- Is in s gallon oi Bofl water. They should be allowed to remain in this solution at least fifteen minutes before being de posited in a privy vault or water-closet. DXSXNFKI Hon OF < NOTHING am> PEUBXI- The soiled linen, clothing, and towels should, if possible, be boiled in hot water for thirty mm utt leaving the room: but if this be inconvenient, a solu tion of sulphate of zinc (white vitriol) should be made by dissolving half a pound of the /mc with six tablespoonfals of common tal le Ball m s (gallon of water. in which the clothes shonid b» soaked I ero hours before being washed. some physicians may recommend .solu tions of sulphate of iron (green oopp- ■ instead of a solution of chloride of lime, and a solution of< - sublimate or carbolic acid Instead of sulphate of zinc. It bas been demonstrated, however, that copperas is not properly a disinfect ant.

Corrosive sublimate solutions are poi sonous, and win n used should be kept m. then, glass or wooden %■ mi Is and. should invariably be labeled poison.

Tho use of any of these agents mus. determined by tb.- attending physician. ittendants should observe scrupu lous cleanliness of hands and clothing. Thoy should not appear iv public until* after having tirst changed th ir clothes and otherwise removed all possibility of' carrying tin contagion. in case of death, let tiie bodyb wrap- j ped in a sheet which has been'soaked in th.- /mc solution, and incase in a tight collin.

"< ►thorwise, the room and its contents must bo fumigated by the fumes ol burn ing sulphur. FUMIGATION WITH SULPHI'K. This is performed by first closing doors and windows and all apertures through which the gas might escape. Then the floors, walls and furniture must be thor oughly dampened. For a room ten feet square, three pounds of sulphur, in frag ments, is placed in an iron pun supported by bricks placed in a tub containing a few inches of water. The sulphur is then moistened with alcohol and set on lire. When well ignited, shut tho door and keep the room tightly closed several hours. When sufliciently fumigated, open the room freely to the air until thoroughly ventilated, when it will again be iit for occupancy. In addition to these precautions the collars, privies, water-closets, cess-pools, drains, sowers, and all other probable sources Of lilth, should bo cleansed and treated to a solution of copperas. Stag nant wator should be drained. Let the sunshine into the rooms of the house, and remember that pure water, pure air and sunshine are the greatest natural preventives of contagious diseases. These, in short, are the rules most gen erally adopted in the restriction of this destroyer of the young. They are as briefly stated as may be consistent with j clearness, for thero must be a compre- j hension of their scope and purport in or- I dor to exercise that influence and good which is the object to be attained. Much moro might be added, but this would lead to tho consideration of medi cal subjects not deemed essential in di rections for the guidance of the general public. For information concerning the treat ment of diphtheria it is necessary to look j to the attending physician, lie should supply you with this or some other pam phlet containing like information, which few busy practitioners have the leisure to j vi rbally explain and which few persons would be likely io remember. The foregoing methods, modified by j tho attending physician to me t the exi gency of the ease, may be employed in all ! contagious dis ■ In order to effect the good which it is in- j tended this pamphlet should accomplish, ' j it should be given a wide distribution.

The loss will amount to about a thousand dollars. Sparks from the smoke-stack caused the fire.

About 7:;_0 o'clock, last evening there came near being another and more disastrous fire than the Others. Persons on X street noticed smoke issuing through the closed doors of C. Ri.

The Chief rushed down to the storo. and on gaining entrance found quite a blaze among a lot of quilts and mattresses. Ib- yanked them out into the streel and stopped the lire.

The San Francisco Argonaut, speaking of the troupe, says: "The Lyceum company have set np for them selves a stain lard of artistic realism. They act drawing-room plays and modern comedies with charming fidelity to the life and manners of tin-day. They por tray ladies and gentlemen, a.s they now exist, with photographic accuracy. They never exaggerate or represent out-of-the way types.

Property-Owners on M Street Have a Lively Meeting. They Sifl-n a Petition to tho Trustees for Gravel—So in© lieat ed Arguments. There was quite a large gathering of persons owning property on II street, from Fifteenth to Twenty-eighth, last night at the new Pavilion, the object be ing to decide whether thoy wanted the stroet graveled or macadamized. A ma jority of thorn have already signed for basalt macadam, hot they now deolare that they did so undor a misapprehen sion, and while they cannot withdraw their signatures, they desire to put in another petition for gravel and leave tho matter to the Trustees to decide. MR. WUITI, EXPLAINS. Lincoln White called the meeting to order and said that the object was to de cide how 11 street should be improved. The Trustees had passed a resolution or dering Up the street, or rather a portion of it. ana leaving the improvement for either basalt, rook orgravel. There was no pro vis ", however, for crossings, grading, curbing, etc. A. protest had been fi] residents on M street, and under tlie vrooman street Act the Trustees were powerless to do anything until six months after the protest bad been filed. I'he objection of the property-owners was that the Btreet should not be improved in patches, in order to overcome tlio pro le-:, .Mr. Lambert, the basalt contractor, had gone among tho M-street property owners and obtained a majority oi - tures of those who were in favor of basalt Mr. Lambert, he said, was the only : contractor in Sacramento who could fur nish, basalt rock, and tlie property-owners were, therefore, in a rather dangerous p - sition. lo said the object of tli.- meeting was to decide whether they wanted gravel or macadam. Mr. White then suggested that they organize permanently, and by a unani mous vote ho was ejected permanent Chairman. Johu Kerwin stated that lie had signa tures for 110 feet on both sides of M stre it, i between Twenty-third and Twenty ; fourth, who were in favor of gravel. Another gentleman handed tn a peti ! tion ho had prepared for tbeTr showing a majority of signatures of prop erty-owners on M street from Fifteenth ; to Thirty-first, all desiring gravel and : being opposed to basalt macadam. [AD TO DO so.Ml'Tli ING. Chairman Whit.-.said ho had bad a talk I with Trustee McLaughlin and the latter said that unless the Ai-street people woke ap and did something the board i would act on the petition and signatures obtained by Mr. Lambert, the basalt man. i Continuing, Mr. White said h had also ! talked with Mr. Lambert. The latter I said the basalt would not cost overf] 65 '. per front foot. But this was only his I promise. He being tiio only person hav ing basalt to furnish, when it came to putting in his bid there was nothing to prevent bim from demanding 93 per front toot, in bet he had tho property-owners I at his mercy, and they had to act imme diately if thoy wanted to get out of his I grasp. H. P. Burr took the floor and said that as he was probably the only person pres ent who had basalt in front of his prop i erty, he felt it his duty to speak. He had found that tliis style of macadam was far superior to gravel In Oakland it was almost exclusively either for ma , cadam or torn foundationfor bituminous : rock pavements'. Eie did not seem to think ; thai Mr. White's f< ars of Lambert's trick ery wero well founded. The Trustees would not let the contract to Lambert if Ihe played any tricks of that kind. The speaker said ho knew Mr. Lambert to be 'an honorable man, and considered his word as good as his bond. Mr. Burr said he was not opposed to gravel, pro vided good gravel was furnished, but he ( bad Been very little gravel, except that i which came from Foisom. on tlie strei ts I lately. The Improvement Company was organized for the purpose of giving the : people good streets, but'it liad been laving j poor gravel. In was now engaged on P I street, and was not doing well." Tiie pco : plo on thai street wanted Folsom gravel, I but for some reason or other they could i not get it. Probably it was because THKJUS was a "joii" ' Such as Mr. AVhite was afraid Lambert would engage in. Reverting to basalt, the speaker said be was confident that j this style of macadam would be of more | service and make better streets than the ,bt ri "f grave). While more expensive it ; would outlast gravel and property owners would gam in the end. Mr. White asked Mr. Burr what he had to pay per front foot forthe basalt ma : cadam. Mr. Burr replied that it amounted lo $216 per front toot, but the city paid one . quarter of that. "That's twice as much as wo would to pay for gravel," said Mr. White. "And it's worth it," replied Mr. Bun. Alter some further talk, Mr. White called npon Mr. Lambert,the basalt man, for an explanation of what he proposed to do. Mr. Lambert responded willingly. He first gave an analysis ofthe rock his macadam was composed of, and declared i that it was without doubt the best mac adam known. It had been pronounced so by the state Geologist It was the basalt block crushed, and when put on the streets and rolled would last forever. There was one street in Oakland which , had been laid in 1868, was a line street yet, and there had never been a dollar ex pended upon it. Mr. Lambert corrected Mr. Burr in regard to the cost of macad amizing th" block in front of Mr. Burr's property. That work had cost the property-owners just $] Gl per front foot. , Mr. Lambert said he had promised the ! property-owners on the proposed new , improvement that they would not have Ito pay more than $165 per front foot. The intersections would cost |431 85each this, of course, to bo divided among all tho property-owners. A DISPUI f: OVBB PiaUBBS Mr. Whilo took down Mr. Lambert's figures, and when the latter bad con cluded, the Chairman declared that they were misleading. According to his (Mr. White's) figures, the property-owners would have to pay a total cost of $•_: 73 per front foot for basalt macadam. Mr. Lambert accused the Chairman of misrepresenting him, and assorted that the total cost to the property-owners would only be 81 Mj per front foot in cluding intersections. Both gentlemen then waxed warm, and a heated debate ensued. Each insisted that his figures were right, and that the Other |was trying to hoodwink the prop erty-owners. Ihey could reach no agreement at all, and Mr. Lambert took his seat in disgust. But his troubles were not over yet. One of the property-owners, a Mr. Butler, askel for a plain statemeut from Mr. Lambert as to what the macadam would c si. "Just9l <d per Iront foot, not including the intersections," replied Mr. Lambert. "Well," said Mr. Butler, "according to tlie llgures you and Mr. White have given us, it is going to cost a good deal more. When I signed your petition, you told me that the total would not bo over ?1 65 per square foot. You didn't say anything about intersections or any of this extra funny business." "If you misunderstood me, I cannot help it," replied Mr. Lambert, rather warmly. "1 told you distinctly thfit it would not cost over Jl to per front foot, plus the cost of the intersections." Then Mr. White took up his cudgel again, ar.d he an 1 Mr. Lambert had an other wrangle over their figures. Finally, the Chairman asked that all those present who were in favor of graved rise to their net. He said he was satis fied tliat gravel would make a fair streot and would be cheap. Someone suggested that it would be better to sign petitions to the Trustees for gravel, rather than tako a vote. macadam's ruAMinoN. Mr. Burr took the floor again and mado another plea for the basalt macadam. It would be of far more advantage to the property-owners to lay out a good street in the first place.and havo no more trouble or expense on their hands. "But," said Mr. Butler, "many of the property-owners cannot afford such a luxury. Many of tin in will have to bor row tho money with which to pay for macadamizing the stroet." wili lind the same difficulty no matter what you put on the street," said Mr. Burr. "Kven ifyou put down gravel some of them will have to borrow the money." "Aisior wan dollar than two," piped a diminutive Hibernian gentleman who occupied an obscure seat in tho corner, and everybody laughed, even Mr. Lam bert. Another attempt was made to take a vote, but W. Huntoon moved that all those who desired gravel step up to the Chairman's desk and sign a petition to the Trustees. Dr. Shields was in favor of waiting un til next spring before improving M stroet at all. The newly-graveled streets had not been tested fairly yet, and neither had the macadam. He thought it would be better to find out first what would make the best pavement. Alter some further debate Mr. Hun toon's motion was carried, and the prop erty-owners began signing the petition. 'lhis completed the- meeting adjourned. The petition will be presented to the Trustees on Monday. WHOSE BUGGY ROBES? ! Hceovery o! Two That Were Stolen on X -sti-eet Yesterday.
