Committees to InveitijaU Imperfect Sewerage and Look After Adulterated Food. The annual meeting of the Kentucky State Board of Health was held at the Gait House List night. The session was very interesting and important. Dr. iinckney Thompson, of Henderson, -the cliair.

with all the members ia These were Drs. J. A. Lucy, of Lexington; J. M.

Poyntz, Bichmond J. O. Mcl'eynokls, Klkton J. N. McCoruiHck.

Secretary, Bowling Green: William Bailey and Chester Mayor, Louisville i Order was called in the gentlemen's twrlors'at 6 o'clock by President Thompson, who delivered an address. He showed that iniicli good work had been done the but that much attention should le paid to the water used all over tbe State. The greater numlM-r of the eases of sickness reported were caused directly or indirectly by water containing impurities of various kinds and, with evil remedied, the Suite's average, irom a standpoint of mortality, would lie made even more favorable than it now is. Dr. Thompson recommended that the local hoards throughout the State lie instructed as to purilying their water, ami that, they be given sucgestions regarding the impurities to be contended with.

He recommended that the Secretary lie instructed to at once mail to the local boar tls suggestions: Tliat well and spring waters are socially to dangerous to health: that the best and puiest water obtainable in towns, village and country homes is cistern water, carefully collected and preserved that where well and spring writers are used it. is siiu-uested that, the water be. iM.iled Wfore using, especially during dry seasons; that no ersoii nilowed to viit the sick tif any contusions or infectious disease except, the nurse or nurses and attending physician." THE SECRETARY'S REPORT. At President Thompson's conclusion, Secretary McCoruiack read his report, which also spoke tf the le-alihful con-tlitioii tif the State. Ifeferring to List year's yellow fever epidemic and the possibilities of a recurrence this season, he said It is probably well for this Board, as well as for our ieoplp, that we had ft limited experience with yellow fever hist year, 'ihe masterly manasement of the Memphis epidemi of ISTtt by the National Board of Health, which effectually protected our eople from its ravages, and our escae from an epidemic since that time.

had almost caused our ieople to forget that we are within the yellow fever Wit. and that the only ellicieut national health service we have ever had has long since ceased to exist. Kentucky has no protection against exotic, plagues except her fortunate gcorgra4hical ositioii. and such eiiorts as may be made by this ISourd. and the local organizations associated with it, with the limited menus at its nnd their command.

It was completely demonstrated last year that refugees, lifter liny degree of exposure, and ac-comtNitned by any kiud of baggage they' tiesire to bring with them, would brought through to our State without let or hindrance, in fact could not stop short of our borders after once passing in our direction. I mean by this that the health authorities in the States south of us. as was probably to ex-fieeteil. having no adequate means or provision for maintaining or detaining liersons siisected of Winsr dangerous, nor for satisfactorily disinfecting their effects, took no precautions whatever, except to see that ali such persons and things were run through their respective territories us rapidly as (w.ssil.ile. to any country and cple wili ng to receive them.

loiter in the se.ison this became of little consequence us, as the mean low tenieruture and near approach of frost gave us fserfetrt immunity, but. at one time it caused me no little anxiety. The knowledge and exierience gained on this subject, without cost may of great value in future years, when the thermal and other conditions are such us to render a similar course upon the port of the health authorities of other Slates highly dangerous to our people. "This -year the first death from yeW low fever was reported from Sanfnrd, April Bumor has since located eases at various other points in that State, but only the San ford case is well authenticated. A State Hoard of Health has recently toen established in Florida, which has adopted stringent regulations In regard to both munniiwil sgnitation and coast quarantine.

While it. is most earnestly to hojicd that this board will he able to do for the peninsular State, and the country dependent non it for protection against yellow fever, what has Wen so clfcctunlly done by the health authorities of Louisiana, at the delta, of the Mississippi, it is so recently created, that, coining into existence in the face of threatened epidemic, too much should not If exacted of it. It is our duty to assume that we will have it repetition ot the experience of last year, and to so intelligently an-ticiHite any emergency that may arise, that order, method, and humanity may substituted for panics and the cruelty of shot-sun quarantines, the following course is recommended: Firs Local health authorities throughout the State should urged to put the territories under their rcsiective jurisdiction in the Wst H-ssible sanitary conditions, and. thus, in protecting themselves against yellow fever, they will ward off all th other diseases which ur located or aggravated by tilth. Second Medical insiectors should he selected for each station lo tie established should quarantine iuseetion service.

Wcome Iroer selection for this service is a inaltet of creat importance, und should not be left to ih hurry of an emergency. Third This beard should require the management tif all railroads entering the State from the South to preixtrvd to furnish at such points of entrance sidetracks, camp outlitii and such other conveniences a may bp essential to efficient quarantine administration, together with the funds for the imyment necessary inspectors and other employes. Fourth liegulations for She direction ami government of quarantine officials, with schedules of freight, should In- prepuicd now, that due consideration may given to all the varied and important interests involved." In this connection your attention is again called to the imHrtance of urging upon the Legislature Ire expediency of providing a contingent fund, to used in tfce discretion oT the hoard, subject to the approval o. the Governor, in the emergency of threatened epidemics. Our small annual appropriation, the smallest made bv any State in the is barely sullleient to meet, the necessary exenses of the Imanl, mid the small fund we have hord -d from year to year for an emergency would be exhausted by a few weks' camiaign against a threatened epidemic.

Such a fund is provided in most States, but in our the only provision that has Wen tnade in tbis'regard is a fund of to guard the health and lives of cattle. TO LOOK AFTER ADCLTMATtD FOOD. The measures provided for in Dr. Me-Connack's ret.ort were given the hearty concurrence of board, and the report was received, with a resolution that the Executive Committee be instructed to at once narry out hie suggestions. A report -was next rend by Dr.

Chester 1 Mayer, looking to the reorganization o' he standing committees of the board. -itli a view to doing ex-en more and Wtter work than had Iteen done here befnie, nnd for the purpose of relieving some of duties now devolving upon the Secretary. He cited nt great length the prospective development of the State, nd said that that development would cK for a ureat Uc.il of attention lrom the Stnte Board of Health. His were accepted and the President then made his apMiintinentt, as follows: Executive. Drs.

Thompson. Bailey and McCoruiack; Sanitary Inspection of Factories. Mines and Schools. Prisons and Hail-roads. Drs.

Mayejr ami Poyntz: Vital Statistics nnd the Begistration thereof, Drs. I Sailer and Met'omiack: Legislative, General and Sanitary. Drs. Thompson and Lucy; Water Supply, Sc-wuge, the Adulteration of Foods in General and. in lielation to Zymotic Drj.

Poyntz and McKeyntdds These gentlemen announced their willingness to serve, and promised to make some startling developments over the esjyciHlly in regard to water, sewage and the adulteration of foods. The accounts of the Secretary and Treasurer were audited, by a committee composed of Drs. Mayer and Wing found correct, the meeting w.as adjourned after an hour's social intercourse. PARTISANS MUST BEWARE. The Conservatives Have a Plan' For the Commercial Club Election.

A Schema to Defeat Both Announced Candidates Unless a More Friendi Spirit Is Displayed, The annual meeting of the Commercial Club, which takes place next Tuesday night, will held at the rooms of the Musical Club, in the Masonic Temple building. This arrangement has Wen made in view of the large mcmWrship of the club, and the impossibility of accommodating those who will present on that occasion, at the regular place of meeting. The Musical Club Hall seats six hundred people. In view of the uuusual interest centered in the meeting, and the prolia-bility that a great many people not memWrs of the organization, and who would ordinarily be welcomed, wilj want to be present, some of the memWrs are of the opinion that the memWrs should required to show their tickets nt the door, and this will probably done. Another reason for such, action is given by some of the more enthusiastic gentlemen, which is the danger that some outside friends of the two prominent candidates for the Presidency might yield to the tcniptatiqn to assist their favorites by voting, thus confusiug and complicating Aatters ami sowing the seeds of discord.

The disposition, therefore, seems to be to admit none but regular nicniWrs. It, is not supposed, or even hinted, that there will any underhand among the members of the club, and it ki a well-settled fact that neither Capt. HuhUin nor Mr. Danlorth would for a moment countenance uuy otliciathan a fair and square election, so the precaution of requiring tickets ean in no way be considered a reflection, lt is thought, that such an order will hr. issued by ITchi-dent.

Morris. 'I he canvass for the ollice of IVesident is Wing conducted with a vigor hitherto unknown iu the history of commercial organizations in this cty. The two candidates Cupt. Charles F. li uh-Joiu nnd Mr.

George 1 Danforth are both young men of nitM, enviable reputation. Earli hits a following t.f warm personal fi lends, who are. working us hard as they can to con' i nee others t.f the merits or their resiective candidates, and, while it is not difficult, to K't nn.r one to admit that either of tlie gentlemen would nu.ko most excellent officer, it sometime becomes quite task to convince a man that he should vote for one in pn-fcrenre to the other. Some of Mr. Dnuiorth's more ardent suis.

porters ix.int to his splendid business record, and his wealth, only to met witli the atgiiment that Capt. Huh loin's record is equally good, and that be is more to sup.rt on account of Wng a self-made man. Money, they say, is not to despised, but it is not an essential qualification to the Presidency of the Commercial Club. The conservative element holds the luiLinie of power, and, if indications ror anything, will not hesitate to use it, teannif that the hottspurs may breed trouble by their advixncy of their re-siiective candidates at tjmcs almost iu-teinerate Hnd unreasonable certain gentlemen, or whom Mr. Granville Shaw is said to be the leader, have been for some days quietly grooming several dark horses, with a view of making coup d'etat, in case it liecomea iieress.tr v.

Iluh-lein and Danforth will, of course, vote for them from the start. -The unblank-eting of the dark horses will depend largely on this Killot.

It is not too much to predict that eae-h of the three named will show up on th- first Wllot. Should either lluhlein or Mr. Danforth develop a degree of strength sufficient to warrant tip Wlief that he can elected by such majority as will convince the other voters that there must be a cordial assent by the defeated, then, of course, the Itallot will proceed to a finish. OUierwis, the Mruggle will long and heated. There is one thing certain, however, nnd that Is that the conservative element, which is largely in the majority, will not allow either of the now leading candidates to Ik? elected by a mere scratch, unless thoroughly snlistied that there will no kicking afterward.

He has frequently been nt the head of great business affairs, and has Wen uniformly successful in all his undertakings.
