In the death of Cashier Arthur M. Brown, Keyport has lost one of its most enterprising citizens and one whose death will be sincerely mourned by many. He was always in the vanguard in projects that were advocated for the benefit of the place and helped many a person in whose integrity he had confidence in a financial way and oftimes the offer of assistance was made rather than the aid solicited. He was a keen observer of men and we do not know of an instance where his confidence was misplaced. It will be these men who will miss him the most now, and who have great reason to regret his death at this time.

His iudement in financial mat ters was considered among the best in the county, and the high standing of the bank is largely due to his sagacity in its management. For nearly a quarter of a century he was a director and treasurer of the local building and loan association and through the co-operation of his fellow directors and officers the association ranks among the best in the State. Mr. Brown was a comparatively young man, only 57 years old, and until stricken with the fatal disease less than two weeks ago bid fair to live to reach a ripe old age. But fate decided his time had come, and this, decision must be accepted, whether it is to our liking for not.

His family will miss him, his close business associates will miss him and his wide circle of friends will also mis's him, but they will always bear in grateful remembrance that there had lived such a person as Arthur M. Brown and that it was their privilege and pleasure to have known him. Saving. Suppose that at 20 one should make and not touch his savings for ten yeaars. From this investment, so small that he would scarcely miss it, he would have at 30 the sum of 182.50 to his credit.

This is little? Yes; this is the smallest thing he has gained. He has learned to look upon his pennies as fortune seeds, and that lesson is worth more than his nickel a day. He has acquired the habit of saving, which grows infinitely faster even than money at compound interest. The chances are that within a year he has made his savings a dime a day and within two years a quarter, that at 30 he has a thrifty fortune plant and at 40 is rich. Fortunes and all success are built up like stone walls a stone at a time.

He who declines to lay the first rough stones of the foundation, because it is too humble a task or seems too poorly paid for, will never make progress in building his success. New Brunswick Times. MORGANVILLE. Irene Costlo is visiting her aunt, James Leonard, at Red Bank. Mrs.

Dunn was grabbtd by the shark as he was shimming toward the dock, which he reached and was assisted to the dock by his com panion. Capt. 1 nomas v.vuuicu k'pvnort came along in his motor boat and the boy was taken to the propeller dock, Matawan, where Dr. Cooky attended to the injured leg and the boy taken by Edwin Donimick to bt reter Hosoital. New Brunswick.

ine nesn on his right leg and foot was in strips and unless blood poisoning sets in the boy will recover and his leg saved. This is Dunn's account of the attack: "I was swimming about ten feet from the dock when I felt something at my feet. I had just learned that a shark had bitten another boy up the stream and I was headed for shore. With a jerk I was pulled down. I suppose it was the shark attempting to Dite my leg off.

I screamed. It seemed the fish was endeavoring to get my whole leg into his mouth. The teeth of the shark evidently clamped down on my leg quickly and I thought it was off. That is all I remember until I was put into a motor boat." For hours Wednesday night unsuccessful efforts were made to recover the body of young Stilwell and capture the shark by exploding dynamite in the creek. A wire netting weighted on the end and fishing nets were also stretched across the creek to catch the shark, but these proved fruitless.

Thursday nftpmnnn the shark was declared to have been seen where the first attack was made and another large crowd congregated and more dynamite was exploded, but with no better success than before. One of the New York morning papers had a motor boat going up and down the creek in the afternoon with grappling irons, but the body or shark were not found. A large shark hook was also baited with fresh fish and sunk in the spot where it is thought the shark was lying, but it was left undisturbed. A big crowd watched the proceedings a good part of the afternoon, until driven away by the storm which ca up at 6 o'clock. Fisher was the son of Capt.

and Mrs. Watson H. Fisher. He was born April 12, 1892, and lived most of his life in Matawan. He was a splendid type of young manhood and had a host of friends In March of last year he opened a merchant tailor shop and had conducted it since.

He has a married sister, Mrs. Arthur Nichols, who lives in Minneapolis, and Capt. and Mrs. Fisher were en route home from a visit there. They reached Matawan this morning and it was indeed, a sad home-coming for them.

Capt. and Mrs. Fisher reached Matawan at 10:10 o'clock this morning. There will be no public funeral services but Rev. Leon Chamberlain will officiate at a short service at the home of Capt.

Fisher at 5 o'clock to-morrow afternoon and interment will be in Rose Hill cemetery. Reports were current throughout yesterday that several sharks were seen by several people at different places and the excitement was kept up to fever heat. It was believed that at least three of them were penned in between the bridge leading to Morristown and the propeller dock, heavy pig wire fencing being used as a barrier to prevent them from going down the creek. Mayor R. O.

Walling of Keyport was an active participant in the endeavors to locate the sharks and prevent their escape and Borough Clerk Van Buskirk was untiring in las ettorts to help find and despatch them. Dr. John T. Nichols, assistant curator of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, in charge of the department of recent fishes, reached Key- port, about 6 o'clock last night in the hope of seeing a shark, or some one who could give a good description, to determine its species. A heavy shower was prevailing at the time and it has not been learned what success he met with.

The excitement was continued this morning when it was declared a shark had been seen in the creek behind the Old Homestead Hotel and many people went to that spot. After a thorough search he could not be found there and if he was there, as alleged, he made his stay very short. It was nearly high water at the time and it was possible for one to reach that point then, but out of the question at low tide. Several of the New York papers have had representatives here and glowing accounts were sent to their respective publications. Acting Mayor A.

B. Henderson last night made announcement that a reward of $100 would be paid by tke Borough of Matawan to the person who killed the shark, if one, or if more for each shark killed. This has stimulated the interest and men with guns are sitting along the edge of the creek watching for an opportunity to earn the reward. This afternoon the greatest interest has centered ir the creek near the Old Homestead Hotel and several sticks of dynamite were discharged in deep places where it was thought one might be hiding, but with no success. Advertise in you local paper Circular of Information Sent to All Local Boards of Health, and Advice Should be Followed To Prevent Outbreak of Disease.

Acute poliomyelitis is an infectious and communicable disease that may be transmitted from sick to healthy indi viduals by direct contact. Perfectly healthy persons who show no symptoms may harbor and transmit the infective organism to others. Such persons are known as carriers, and probably constitute the most important factor in the spread of the disease. The virus has been shown to exist in the nose, the mouth, the pharynx and upper air passages and the intestine of infected prsons, and in the dust of a room that has been occupied by an acute case. Evidence of the transmission of the disease by the bite of the stomoxys calcitrans (stable fly) has not been definitely verified.

It is quite probable, however, that flies of various species do play a part in the spread of the disease by carrying infective material. Young children are most frequently affected, but no age is immune. Children between the ages of one and five years are most susceptible. The older the patient the greater the mortality. In some outbreaks about 25 per cent, of all cases die, and in others the mortality is from 13 per cent, to 16 per cent.

In ad dition, as hieh as 50 per cent, ot all per sons who recover are incapacitated, ow- incr tr nprmn npn t. IiaralVSlS. 1WO Or I i more cases in the same family are ratn ex unusual, but do occur. One attack eenerallv confers permanent immunity The incubation period is Deiievea to vary from three to fourteen days. The average period appears to be about seven days.

The duration of the period of infec-tivity or contagiousness has not been definitely determined, but experiments on animals have shown that the virus sometimes persists in the nasal mucous membrane for many weeks. SUGGESTIONS TO LOCAL HEALTH OFFICIALS OF METHOD OF PROCEDURE. 1. Local health officials should insist upon prompt reports of all recognized cases. 2.

Physicians should be requested to report suspicious cases also, and assistance in making a diagnosis should be furnished upon request. 3. Effectual isolation of the patient should be required in all cases for a period of at least six weeks. Where satisfactory isolation cannot be secured the case should be removed to a hospital. 4.

The nurse or attendant should, preferably, be isolated with the patient. Where this is not possible, an outer gown of washable material should be worn while in the patient room. When leaving the room this gown should be removed and the hands should be immediately washed with soap and hot water. 5. If a case is treated in a private family, and satisfactory isolation of the patient and nurse is not maintained, all members of the household should be Quarantined on the premises.

Even though effectual isolation is carried out, all children in the family should be re stricted to the premises and be kept from contact with other children. 6. Children known to have direct ex posure to a Case of poliomyelitis should be isolated for a period of two weeks, and adults should be kept under observation for an equal length of time. Absolute cleanliness should be maintained in the room in which the patient is confined. All cloths used to receive discharges from the mouth and nose of the patient should be burned and discharges from the bowels and blad der should be disinfected by pouring at least three times their volume ot boiling water over them and leaving the vessel covered for at least thirty minutes.

The contents of the vessel should then be emptied directly into a flush closet or a privy vault which has been made fly tight, or into a trench and at once cov ered with earth. The room should be effectively screened against flies, and all household pets excluded. 8. All clothing and bedding used by the patient should be boiled. After the case has been discharged or removed, renovate and disinfect the room and furniture by scrubbing with soap and hot water.

9. Others than immediate members of the family should not enter the house in which a case of poliomyelitis is isolated. 10. Parents should not needlessly go into infected areas, nor at any time permit their children to do so. 11.

Advice should be given that children refrain from kissing each other, and that they should not be kissed by other persons, during the prevalence of the disease. 12. Unnecessary contact with persons known to have come from infected areas should be avoided. 13. Children should be kept away from public gatherings and places of amusements.

14. Camps and summer homes for children coming from infected areas should be visited daily by the health of- ideal) fountainPen SOLD AT Warn's Pharmacy, Macy Carhart, Prop.
