CONTRADICTS A NEWARK
THEORY OF TYPHOID FEVER
Newark’s health authorities say
that the snow this winter has kept
typhoid fever cases at a minimum in
that city. They assert that snow
covers the dust, dirt and filth of the
streets, preventing the spread of the
germs and that therefore this winter
there have been fewer cases than in
previous years.
In Morristown thirteen cases of
typhoid were reported to the health
authorities last year, and two cases so
far tnis year. A local physician in
speaking of the matter said that he
did not believe that snow had any
effect upon the typhoid germ.
Typhoid fever is probably as old as
civilization, he said. " Doubtless
Huxham’s slow nervous lever des
cribed in his essay on fever was the
typhoid of to-day. The bacillus is
long lived. It remains vital for three
months in distilled water. When
buried in the upper layers of the soil
it retains its vitality for nearly six
months. Cold has no effect upon it,
for freezing and thawing several 1 imes
has failed to kill the germ.
“Typhoid is undoubtedly more com
mon in late summer and aututn than
at any other time of year. It has been
observed that hot and dry summers
are followed by more cases than moist
summers.”

Robert Edeson began Monday night
the last two weeks of his highly
successful season in the Richard
Harding Davis comedy, “Ranson’s
Eoli.v" at the Hudson Theatre. Great
interest lias been manifested through
out the ent ire engagement and the
announcement of his farewell ap
pearances as Lieut. Hanson is certain
to attract capacity houses for the
remaining performances. On Tuesday
next the sale of seats will begin for
the annual New York appearance of
Henry Miller. For this engagement
Charles Frohman will present Mr.
Miller and a carefully selected com
pany in a new and sparkling comedy
from the pen of Ernest Denny entit
led “Man Proposes.” It has every
where been ranked with “Heart
sease,” “The Only Way” and “D’
Arcy of the Guards.” three of Mi
Miller’s greatest successes. “Man
Proposes” is a modern comedy full of
strong situations, a deep heart
interest and bright, clean humor.
The story revolves about an elder
brother’s love for a younger left in his
charge by his mother on her death.
The younger is a scapegrace who gets
into all sorts or difficulties out of
which he is helped by the patient and
sacrificing guardian who even con
templates giving up the girl he loves
to the wilful youth. Mr. Miller's
company is a competent one includ
ing Miss Dorothy Hammond, Mr.
JIassard Short, Morton Selton, Wal
ter Allen, Douglas Pattison, Walter
Hitchcock, Pert ram Harrison, Allison
Skipworth, Helen Tracy and Mrs.
Felix Morris.
The report of the Northern New
Jersey Flood Commissioners, appoint
ed by Governor Murphy to study the
subject of Hoods in the northern part
of the State has been finished and is
now being typewritten by Secretary
William R. Dill. The document will
be forwarded to Governor Murphy,
who will in turn transmit it to the
Legislature. The commission went
into its work most energetically and
thoroughly. The contents of the
report will not be made known until
the document reaches the Legislature.
The Court of Errors and Appeals
Hied an opinion Monday, holding to lie
illegal the franchise obtained by the
North Jersey Street Railway Com
pany to la.y a double track on Cent ral
ave., the most fashionable thorough
fare of East Orange. In arriving at
this conclusion the Court of Errors
reversed a previous decision of the
Supreme Court.
The Court of Errors has affirmed
the decision of the Court of Chancery
in the case of the National Council
of the Junior Order of United Ameri
can Mechanics against the New Jersey
State Council of that order. The de
cision sustains the right of the State
Council in refusing to pay a certain
per capita tax imposed by the Nation
al Council, and in effect decides that
the New Jersey State Council was
within its legal rights when it broke
away from the National Council.
“The Church and the Trust” was
tire theme at the Methodist Preachers’
Meeting in New York Monday. The
Rev. W. II. Morgan, of Newark, who
was once an ironworker, spoke espe
cially of t he Steel Trust. IIis brother,
he declared, had stock in a concern
that was swallowed up by the big
trust, was compelled to give up his
stock and take wliat the trust gave
him, and subsequently sold this stock
at a heavy sacrifice. Many of the
operations of the trust, Mr. Morgan
declared, were the acts of thieves,
lie added: “The Church cannot
overlook a man's crimes if he is what
is called a ‘philanthropist.’ It is
easy to be generous with other people’s
money, but that does not make steal
ing honest.”
A story which asserted with author
ity that Cleveland was unalterably
determined not to be a candidate for a
third term in any contingency, that
he had slight expectation of the
party’s nominating a “decent” can
didate and that lie had told to friends
Iris opinion that, failing to obtain a
“decent” Democratic candidate,
Roosevelt’s re-election will be the
best tiling possible for the country,
was shown this week to the ex-Presi
dent. Mr. Cleveland appeared in
dignant over the statement and said:
“l don’t know anything about such a
statement, and I have absolutely
nothing to say on tiro matter.’’

Winter Hawthorn Blossom*.
The legend respecting the origin of
the Glastonbury thorn Is well known
how Joseph of Arimathea, in visiting
Britain on a preaching mission, ar
rived weary at Glastonbury, and while
he rested his hawthorn walking stick
was thrust into the ground; how it
at once began to grow and ever after,
bo the legend says, flowered on Christ
mas day. The thorn is simply an early
flowering variety of our common haw
thorn. That it does flower remarkably
early is quite true, for a tree in the
Royal Botanic gardens, Kew, opens its
flowers between November and Jd&rch.
