CuMer the second an4 third floors of his brick building on North Main street, opposite the Armory block, the basement and first floor of which will be occupied by Mr. Cutler himself. The lease goes Into effect April 1st, 1906, and will run for five years, an option for ten years ajso being attached to the contract. There are two rooms on cach floor, thus giving the telephone company four convenient and well lighted rooms that will be centrally located and well adapted for the use to which they will be put. The exchange of the Consolidated company will be moved to the Cutler building on April 1st from the Cash Store building, where they have been located ever since the establishment of the system in the city. This transfer of an important ofljjce from Broad street to North Main street indicates the trend of business toward the block between Butler and Mill streets, | which has been greatly Improved during the past few months by the erection of the Cutler building and the flatlron building adjoining, which is the property of A.

This was a reduction 3f over 5* per rent, from the December figures. This low death rate as shown by thf January rrtcrds means that instead Of about -'2 lives being 16st out of every hundred rasas of Diphtheria, is would be found where Antitoxin is not used,, th* disease was abl7 to claim only about nina victims. It means that instead hf 420 deaths out ol every 1000' cases of Diphtheria, the death is brought dowq by the free distribution of Antitoxin to SS. Health Commissioner D!xcn feels confident thet- as the custom of free distribution or Antitoxin becomes n:ore thoroughly rstnbliched and the physicians of the State us? the serum more promptly after the onset of the disease and in ipore liberal doses, the death rate witl go far lower. from city, town and country village all Over the big State of Pennsylvania the physicians are sending in their reports that tell the story of little children stricken down by Diphtheria, and then of the arre3t of the dread disease by the administering of the Wonderful prophylactic—Antitoxtn. Dread disease it hardly need be called any longer, for the hand of death that was formerly thought to haVe the* little child surely In its grasp, the moment that Diphtheria was diagonsed. has now lost Its power. At the time that the State Department of Health is supplying Antitoxin for curative purposes, it is also furnishing the serum for immunising. When the family physician is called into the humble home and reads upon the child's throat the signs that to his practiced eye mean Diphtheria, he knows also that the little brothers and sisters of the sick child have by this ttme probably befn exposed to the disease and may be stricken down at any moment. No need for him to wait and see if any of these other children dovelop the symptoms of the disease. He may immediately secure from the State's free distributing depots sufficient Antitoxin to immunize every one of the little ones, and the older members of the household, too, who have been exposed to the infection. It is now the aim of the Health Commissioner to impress upon the physicians of the State the great importance of administering the Antitoxin in There Is more Catarrh In this section of curative Hoses as soon as noRslhlc af. the country than all other diseases put curative noses as soon as possiDie at together, nn(] untll the iast few years was ter the onset of the disease, and the supposed to Ik- incurable.

The Owcgo Gazette gives the particulars of a most singular accident that befell a citizen of Tioga county and which resulted in his death. The boycott of American goods is strong In that province, and it is considered surprising that the American missions were not among the first to bC attacked. The hostile sentiment to foreigners, however, was strong enough to include the other institutions. Evci since the boycott on American goods was beguu throughout the different Chinese ports Ainoy has lent a full share in the disturbances arising therefrom, and many attacks of minor Importance had previously been made as a result of the hostile feeling.

He produced letters from a former assistant secretary of the treasury Under Mr. Harrison and from an acting secretary of tlie treasury under Mr. Cleveland stating that it was doubtful whether the property could be sold for as much as $3,000,000 and suggesting that it would be unwise to place this limit in the bill because if no bidders could be secured the sale could not be made. He also said that under a second act of congress fixing the minimum price at $3,000,000. the property was advertised in eleven leading New York papers and efforts were made for months to secure ■bidders, and the highest bid of the three submitted was $3,265,000, or $205,000 above t)ie amount fixed by congress. He further showed that the government instead of having paid $1,000,000 in rentals had paid less than one-half that sum. He showed that the size of the lot instead of being two large blocks was less than one-half of one.

Announcement was made today that the Consolidated Telephone coihpanies of Pennsylvania (the new phone) had leaded from Undertaker Charles H. CuMer the second an4 third floors of his brick building on North Main street, opposite the Armory block, the basement and first floor of which will be occupied by Mr. Cutler himself. The lease goes Into effect April 1st, 1906, and will run for five years, an option for ten years ajso being attached to the contract. There are two rooms on cach floor, thus giving the telephone company four convenient and well lighted rooms that will be centrally located and well adapted for the use to which they will be put. The exchange of the Consolidated company will be moved to the Cutler building on April 1st from the Cash Store building, where they have been located ever since the establishment of the system in the city. This transfer of an important ofljjce from Broad street to North Main street indicates the trend of business toward the block between Butler and Mill streets, | which has been greatly Improved during the past few months by the erection of the Cutler building and the flatlron building adjoining, which is the property of A.

This was a reduction 3f over 5* per rent, from the December figures. This low death rate as shown by thf January rrtcrds means that instead Of about -'2 lives being 16st out of every hundred rasas of Diphtheria, is would be found where Antitoxin is not used,, th* disease was abl7 to claim only about nina victims. It means that instead hf 420 deaths out ol every 1000' cases of Diphtheria, the death is brought dowq by the free distribution of Antitoxin to SS. Health Commissioner D!xcn feels confident thet- as the custom of free distribution or Antitoxin becomes n:ore thoroughly rstnbliched and the physicians of the State us? the serum more promptly after the onset of the disease and in ipore liberal doses, the death rate witl go far lower. from city, town and country village all Over the big State of Pennsylvania the physicians are sending in their reports that tell the story of little children stricken down by Diphtheria, and then of the arre3t of the dread disease by the administering of the Wonderful prophylactic—Antitoxtn. Dread disease it hardly need be called any longer, for the hand of death that was formerly thought to haVe the* little child surely In its grasp, the moment that Diphtheria was diagonsed. has now lost Its power. At the time that the State Department of Health is supplying Antitoxin for curative purposes, it is also furnishing the serum for immunising. When the family physician is called into the humble home and reads upon the child's throat the signs that to his practiced eye mean Diphtheria, he knows also that the little brothers and sisters of the sick child have by this ttme probably befn exposed to the disease and may be stricken down at any moment. No need for him to wait and see if any of these other children dovelop the symptoms of the disease. He may immediately secure from the State's free distributing depots sufficient Antitoxin to immunize every one of the little ones, and the older members of the household, too, who have been exposed to the infection. It is now the aim of the Health Commissioner to impress upon the physicians of the State the great importance of administering the Antitoxin in There Is more Catarrh In this section of curative Hoses as soon as noRslhlc af. the country than all other diseases put curative noses as soon as possiDie at together, nn(] untll the iast few years was ter the onset of the disease, and the supposed to Ik- incurable.

The Owcgo Gazette gives the particulars of a most singular accident that befell a citizen of Tioga county and which resulted in his death. The boycott of American goods is strong In that province, and it is considered surprising that the American missions were not among the first to bC attacked. The hostile sentiment to foreigners, however, was strong enough to include the other institutions. Evci since the boycott on American goods was beguu throughout the different Chinese ports Ainoy has lent a full share in the disturbances arising therefrom, and many attacks of minor Importance had previously been made as a result of the hostile feeling.

TRAFFIC STILL SLOW. pieted Nevertheless several weeks ago a force of 12,000 men was to be concentrated at Manila, and since that time small detachments have arrived there, bringing the number of United States troops ready to be embarked for the China coast up to a considerable number.Mr. Taylor said the records showed that the property under on act of congress was offered at one time for $4,- «*I0,000; that $2,000 was spent in ad- to secure bidders, and not a bid could be secured. He produced letters from a former assistant secretary of the treasury Under Mr. Harrison and from an acting secretary of tlie treasury under Mr. Cleveland stating that it was doubtful whether the property could be sold for as much as $3,000,000 and suggesting that it would be unwise to place this limit in the bill because if no bidders could be secured the sale could not be made. He also said that under a second act of congress fixing the minimum price at $3,000,000. the property was advertised in eleven leading New York papers and efforts were made for months to secure ■bidders, and the highest bid of the three submitted was $3,265,000, or $205,000 above t)ie amount fixed by congress. He further showed that the government instead of having paid $1,000,000 in rentals had paid less than one-half that sum. He showed that the size of the lot instead of being two large blocks was less than one-half of one.
