would setm as if the city council should
taae tne matter in hand and not wait
until we are in the same box and then
begin taking measures to prevent it. Mr,
B. F. Pike, who is well known in The
Dalles, came down from Moro yesterday
and in speaking to the Chronicle re
porter regarding it said : It ia neither
small-pox nor chicken-pox, according to
a Portland expert who was sent for and
made an examination. The disease.
whatever it is, has much the appearance
of tinall-pox, but carries with it no odor
nor itching sensation and is very light;
so much so that patients scoffed at the
idea of a quarantine. There are about
seven houses quarantined and twenty
cases reported. The board of health is
using every precaution to preventJte
spread, and even went so far as to fine
those who broke quarantine rules. A
pest house was built outside the city,
but only one patient, who had no one to
care for bim, was placed therein. Mi.
Pike says it has been amusing to bim to
hear of the hundreds of cases reported
there and the large number of deaths. At
the same time be says the disease is Buch
as to warrant much precaution.

To determine the true state of affairs
at Moro, Dr. Geisendorffer telephoned
this afternoon to his friend, Dr. I. M

When w ill managers of opera houses
and all public places of gatherine under
stand that the atmosphere of the room
is one of the most successful adjuncts
of an entertainment? If the house is
too cold, thm will the audience freeze

they are liab to fall asleep. Let the
j tni tors be chosen from men who under
stand these things and then will our
audiences bo more comfortable and the

this morning they were somewhat sur

On the 8th of this month Congress

to amend the act entitled "An act for

of certain fees, purchase money, and
commissions paid on void entries ol

"That in ail cases where homestead or

entry has been erroneously allowed and

Of the many calls which have come to
the people of the Pacific coast recently,
surely none will have mora weight or
awaken a greater degree of interest than
that which is made in behalf of the
family of one who has given hit life for
his country and -w hom the people of the
United States honored and loved.
The movements w hieh have been going
on to raise funds for erecting monuments
in honor of our dead heroet are com
mendable; but deedt of love in behalf of
the dear onee left behind are to ns far
more to be encouraged, and could the
dead speak would no doubt call forth
their approbation and blessing on those
whose appreciation of valorous deed ia
thus expressed. The letter reads
thusly :
San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 23, 1899.
Editor Ciihonicle :
The Adjutant General of the army Las
appointed me, as the representative of
the war department, to roeeive contri
butions from the people of the Pacific
coast for the benefit of tho widow and
children of the late Maj r General Henry
W. Lawton. killed in action before San
Mateo, Philippine islands, December 20,
181)9, and I respectfully solicit yonr as
sistance in making tho donations from
the coast a generous one.
The history of General Lawtcn'a
splendid military career is too well
known to require recounting here. His
life has been one devoted to the military
fervice, and he fell in battle while de
tending his country's flag.
His widow and four children will be
left in straightened circumstances unless
the mortgage covering his orange grove
at Hedlands, California, be liquidated.
I am confident that the patriotic and
grateful people of the Pacific coast will
respond generously to this most worthy
object, and that enough money will be
raised, not only to pay the mortiiage,
but to leave a substantial margin in ad
dition for the use of the family.
Remittances should be sent to the
undersigned at Army Headquarters, San
Francisco, which will be acknowledged
by letter and through thecolnmnt of the
newspapers. Tho Nevada Bank, of San
Francisco, has been designated as the
depository for the fund.
Very Respectfully,
Wm. R. Sit after,

and mado happy by useful gifts as well

would their labors be productive of
much good. While most of our citizens
are ready to contribute to the needy at
such a time, it is always a question how
to reach the descrying poor and to be
stow their gifts advisedly. Ttie Salva
tion Army officers, who devote their
lives to this work, canvas the highways
and the byways and leave not a stone
unturned until all are discovered and
remembered at the Christmas tide.
Many such gathered at the Baldwin
last night, and with them a large num
ber of friends, so that the hall was well
filled. A long program was well ren
dered and at the close presents were dis
tributed from two very handsome trees.
Not a person left the hall without re
ceiving some recognition ; even if it were
but tome candy or nuts.
The army worked untiringly in their
labor of love and deserve much credit,
having received their reward in' the
smiling faces and hearts made happy
thereby.
