School Board and physicians of Norrlstown havo tak-en all necessary precautions known to science, to keep the dreaded miila-dy of small pox from entering the limits of the town, their efforts have Keen unsuccessful and on Sunday morning a case of the disease was re-ported to exist In the West End. Several days ago a physician was summoned to the home of George Schronck, No. 753 George street, where Miss IJdy Schronck, an eighteen year old girl was III. She had beeen vls- Iting relatives In Philadelphia but her Illness was not considered to be of n serious nature. She grew rapidly worse, however, until the services of a physician were required and he watch-ed the patient carefully until Sunday morning when he pronounced the symptoms of the girl's affliction as those of small pox. The case was Im-mediately reported to the authorities and every precaution was taken. An OHeat was placed near the house to keep all persons from going in or out of the house and a smnll pox card wna placed on the door. The young lady who la the victim of the disease recently graduated from the Norrlstown High School. The physician in charge stated that it is not a severe case as yet, but ser-ious developments may result. OUR ARC LIGHTS » STATEMENT FROM THE OOMPA NY I-RICSICNTING THE OTHBH SIDE OF THE CONTROVERSY!

The Philadelphia Times of yesterday prints the following: By the incorporation of the Penn-sylvania Sub-Way Company, of Phila-delphia, with a capital stock of $500,000 at liarrlshurg on Wednesday, the Unit-ed Telephone and Telegraph Company, furthers its plans to control a, long-distance telephone service In Pennsyl-vania, which will compete with the Bell Telephone Company and furnish a system of conduits In the principal cities from Buffalo to Washington for the use of the electric, telegraph and telephone companies. The incorporators, who are also di-rectors and officers in the United Tel-ephone Company, are W D. Barnard, E. M. Yamall, Edward Davis, F, E. Smith, of Philadelphia, and Congress-man Ward R. Bliss, of Chester. A meeting of the stockholders will be held next week in the United Tele-phone and Telegraph Company's office, 411 Fidelity Building, when officers will be elected. All the corporations using under-ground wires In Philadelphia are now supplied with their own subways, and the new company will not attempt to enter this city. The corporation la formed for the purpose of constructing, purchasing, leasing or otherwise ac-quiring underground subways in ana1 through which wires may be carried for the purpose of conveying electric-ity, with the right to rent space In the subways to Individuals and corpora-tions, municipal or otherwise. As a part of the United Telephone and Telegraph Company's plan to con-trol a telephone system in this and other States, the Cumberland Valley Telephone Company, with a right of way from Harrlsburg to the District of Columbia, was organized on Monday with a capital of {500,000. By using the conduits of this com-pany the Keystone Telephone Compa-ny, the Bell Company's competitor In this city, will connect with towns and cities throughout Pennsylvania, part ot Maryland and Virginia, and the Dis-trict of Columbia. Cumberland, Car-lisle, Chambersburg, Hagerstown, West Choster, Westclnster and other import-ant towns will be reached by this com-pany. The United Telephone and Tel-egraph Company already controls lo-cal companies in twenty-one cities and towns of the State, including Altoona. Harrlsburg, Lancaster. Chester. Wll-liamsport. and between these cities from Williamsport to Darby a connect-ed line Is now in operation. The Keystone Telephone Company will connect with the United Tele-phone and Telegraph Company's lines nt Darby and Conshohocken when the city system has been completed. Wohk will soon be commenced upon the buildings of the Wldener Memorial Industrial Training School for Crip-pled Children. The plans hawe been completed by the architect, Horace Trumbauer, late of Jenkintown. He hac submitted them to several con-tractors, with requests for bids. This institution was projected 1u the latter part of 1899 by Peter A. B. Wldener. of Ogontz. who will endow the school, which, with the endow, ments the buildings, equipment, fur-nishings and alte. will represent an expenditure of not less than $2,000,000. It Is expected that the work on the school will be commenced within a few weeks. Inside of a year It will prob-ably be In operation. When Mr. Wldener Informed the city authorities of his intention to found the school he accompanied the notifi-cation with a statement that ho had purchased a large plot of ground at Logan, fronting on the Old York Road, between Thorp's lane and Somervllle avenue, as a site for the institution. Steps were Immediately taken by Councils, in accordance with Mr. Wide-ner's request, to prevent several streets which were plotted upon the city map from being cut through the tract. The plans show an arrangement of buildings of which the main Structure will be the centre. At each side of the main building, and connected with it by pillared porticos, will be two wings, running parallel with the main building, and extending back and front further than the walls of the former. At the rear extremity of the wing, to the left, will be the Industrial build-ing. At the other extremity of the wing will be the educational or school building. The wing to the right will consist of two cottage buildings. Identical in size and construction with the educational and the Industrial buildings. Colonial features will predominate In the architectural style of the school. The material to be used will be red brick and Indiana limestone. All of the roofs will be of cooper and the buildings two stories high. Instruction will be given in various branches of mental and manual train-ing. Nothing wllll be left undone to comply with M r.Widener's conception of what the institution should be. which, as expressed by him in his letter announcing the project, is "a home, hospital and school for crippled children, where they can be cared for If helpless, where they can receive medical and surgical attention as will cure or allay their deformities, and where they may receive not only a general education, but an education and Instruction in such Industrial lines as will assist them towi.rd self sup-port" WHAT'S YOUR FACE WORTH?

Wherever It was pos-sible to do so. the work was given to Conshohocken contractors even when. In some cases, the prices were higher. No expense waa spared to make the Plant complete, and the best of Its class In every respect. Any one who desires to assure himself on this point need only examine the new plant, and then compare it with the old one. Please note that we do not claim that It is "perfect." No human forethought or Ingenuity can entirely prevent trou-ble, and In any new machine there Is almost certain to be trouble of some kind until after It has been In use long enough to detect and remedy Its faults. What we desire to call special atten-tion to, Is the statements made by sev- I eral Councllmen to the effect that the new arc lamps are of lower candle pow-er than the old ones, and not equal to the requirements of our contract. This matter of the candle-power of arc lamps has been repeatedly discuss-ed by scientific bodies and as frequent-ly decided by the courts, which have all held that a 2000 candle-power arc lamp is one consuming 460 watts of electric energy per hour. The new lamps consume from 475 to 600 watts per hour, or between 6 and 10 per cent, more than our contract requires us to furnish. These new lampa are dey signed and built on the principle that for lighting purposes the best results are obtained by softness and diffusion Instead of concentration. In other words, with a certain amount of light at your disposal, it Is better to give a good average light over a large space than to throw a brilliant light Into one small spot, leaving the rest of the space In correspondingly heavy shad-ow. Every one who has taken the trouble to read this article will remember that with the old lamps there was a very black shadow Immediately under the lamp; around this then a circle of pos-sibly thirty or forty feet In diameter which was very brightly lighted, while beyond the circle there was almost no light. In fact half-way between the Inmps there was almost absolute dark-ness. Any one looking directly at the lamp could see only a blinding spot of light. With the new lamps this space be-tween lamps is far better lighted than ever before, while there are no heavy shadow anywhere. To Illustrate the fact that the new type of lamp is more desirable than the old. we beg to call attention to the fact that Messrs. Alan Wood & Co.. and the Inngmead Iron Works in their new plants, where assuredly light is of more importance than money, have Installed the new type of lamp. Can any one doubt that they would not put In the best to be had? No modern up-to-date electric light company would dream of Installing any other kind. BoBton. admittedly the best lighted city In the world has these lights and New York la now changing to the same. Fifth avenue, the best best lighted city In the world, has these exclusively from this type of lamps. But to go even further. About a year ago we Installed one of the new style lamps In the old station as a sam-ple, and Invited our customers, who then had only the old style lamps, to call to see It. The superiority of the new lamp was so evident that they all demanded at once that we replatcc their old lamps with the new type. In order to demonstrate the compa-ny's real attitude toward the city, and to prove beyond the possibility of a doubt that we are living up to our con-tract In all honor and good faith, we beg to submit the following propos-ition: Let a committee be formed, con-sisting of one man appointed by the borough council, one by our Company, and a third by the two. thus selected. Let them select an electrical engineer of recognized ability and standing: a man of such reputation that his decis-ion would he beyond dispute. I-et this engineer make a rigid inspection and test of the new arc lamps, dynamo and station, choosing his own time and making as many visits as he may think necessary. If this engineer reports that the new arc lamps are not equal to the require-ments of the contract, we will pay all of the expenses of the test, provided the city will a«ree to do the same If he reports that they are up to their re-at the time chosen for repose, a light, nourishing repast at night often con-duces to sound sleep by drawing the blood away from the brain, says the Chicago Chronicle. Physicians are now advising a bed-time lunch for weak, nervous and emaciated people. The long hours of sleep consume about one-third of our existence. Although the demand made upon the system Is naturally much |, ss than .luring the waking hours Is a wasting away of tissue consequent upon the suspension of nntrimenl for many hours. The bodj feeeds upon itself, for food taken at dinner is di-gested at bedtime. Often one Is rest-less and wakeful at night because the Stomach Is empty. Says a well-known physician: Man Is Ihe only rreafture I know of who does not deem it proper to sleep on a good meal. The infan, Insiincllvely cries to be fed at night, showing that food is necessary during that time as well as through the day, and that left too long without it causes it discom-fort, which It makes known by riv-ing." If you crave It cat a light, easily di-gested |„nch ffl bedtime. And the long hours of sleep will work out tor you a problem In addition, instead of subtraction, of adipose tissue. WHY TRADE GOES TO THE CITY Many of our merchants complain that business Is dull and that they a,, getting too old to hustle for more trad, but the most complaint Is that people go to the city to trade. Why ,1,, they? There must he some reason for It. Here are a few reasons and some words of advice. If you have any Inducements to of-fer that will keep trade at home-don't keep a good thing to yourself— tell your customers about i,. Does your trade know as much about your store as it does about the inside of the big city stores? Answer these questions satisfactorily and there won't be so much talk a ho.,, "ruinous competition" of the big city stores. Fight them with their own weapons —good advertising. Buy ah much newspaper space as you can afford and All It with good bus, ncss talk—store news. If you can BCII goods-as cheaply or cheaper than the city store*, your mon-ey drawer wont show it. if nobody out side of yourself knows It., Now here's a straightforward ques-llon: What are you doing to keep trade at home? Are you talking Inter-estingly in your newspapers ahou, the new goods thai Just came In. how pond they are. how little they Boat, wl good store you have, about your bright clean stock and how well you serve your trade? THE TASK OF A POLITE MAN in a Norrlstown ear the othei 91 girl dropped a lead pceil win, h !

Whoever has attempted to pick »P anything from between the slats of one of ih.se wooden mats knows that Ihe task is a dim, MI, one; and perhaps as hard a thing as any lo pick up is a WMPSncll, as ibis gentleman. If he did not know ,, before, now discov | for he kept at this pencil for blocks before he finally go. It up. The man would r | ,„„. end ,,t It iiPP-d up almost within reach, only to have it slip away from the pencil Witt which he was endeavoring to work It out and rail back as far away as ever. And nt other times It would ■" the slightest touch roll awav over '" the other side, down at the bottom of that narrow recess, nqd so most per-sistently and obstinately i rsd. cry.

I|„ ,||,|„-, nermil himself to get flustered In the sllgh,- asl degree i, was the schoolgirl, for whom all this work was being done, who now liegan to show some slight signs of nervousness. If the pencil could have been picked up In a mom-em and simply handed to her she would have been glad to get it back, but she would have preferred to lose it , than have nil this to-do-made over It. for everybody around was now watch-ing the efforts of the polite man and onally regarding her.

Philadelphia and the resjTangmnsnt of the traci™ at Wayne Junction, in connection with "'her improvements at that point, to-gether with the additional tracks re-qulred by some of the manufactories at various points upon the line, account for a large part of the expenditures for yard, depot, coal yard and manufactory tracks.
