McCabe has been ap pointed chairman of this fund and his committees will Ibe announced later. The Irish people think their*case is so- strong that the only immediate request they ask is that they be al lowed to present -their case to the Peace Conference, but this has been refused. Very many„of our own State Leg islatures as well as the United States Sehate by a. vote of sixty to ohie, out of a spirit of fair play and gratitude for what the Irish did, for America during the days of the Rebellion for mally requested the British Govern ment to allow Ireland to present her case. The answer to this request was the imprisonment of many more Irishmen and the deportation of bth- ers. . The Commission of American citi zens who have recently visited Ire land have reported to the Peace Conference and the United. States Senate that conditions in Ireland to day are worse than they were in Bel gium when the Hun had- his iron heel upon her neck.

' Dr. Snover Isspies Warning In view of the fadt that there has* been at least, three human infections from anthrax; two resulSng in death,' Br, C, H. Snover, Health Officer of Randolph, has issued a warning to all persons of that locality who come in close contact with stock. Anthrax is a disease rather com mon in cattle, horses, sheep and oth er animals and is commuinieated to ^uman beings by the infected mater ial such as blood or serum getting in to a small cut, abrasion or . open wound on the person. In about tWo or three days a pustle forms at the site of innpculation. This may remain local and recovery tak-^ place, or,.it may be carried into the blood, caus ing a very fatal form of blood poison. Anthax germs are very^ resitant to all antiseptics. In cases ■‘^of kckness in cattle or other animals about the farm, a re liable veterinary should be called and then if there is any “suspiciion of anthrox great care should fie used by those coming in contact with the ani mal. The hands should be thoroughly cleaned and an antiseptic solution used after caHng for them. In c^se any animal dies great care shoui^ he used in handling it. It should, be buried in quick lime or burned and. under noT consfderation buried without this' treatment. No attempt should be m'ade to save the skin or any other part because of an infection to yourself or some one else handling the hide' before it ,is tanned. If proper care is used in handling stock or animals having the disease, infection of human beings rarely oc curs,*' and it is the duty of every one to do their utmost to bring' this con dition under control at once. The state and local authorities at Randolph are working together and no new oases hftve been reported for several days; the disease having only -affected the herd among which it first appeared. ,What is believed to be the second death from anthrax poisoning, occur red last^ Friday morning when G||p. Helms,''47 years old passed away. MrJ Helms was a prominent dairy man and lifelong and respected resi dent, of Randolph and was very well known throughout Cattaraugus County. * . ^ About ten days ago six valuable cows in the dairy of Mr. Helms died, the carcass of the first was skinned before anyone knew the reason of the animal dying. * Mr. Helms was assisted in remov- , ing the hide by FiTank Smith. Mr.' Smith died very v suddenly last week, physicians believing heat prostratipn , to be the cause. It was 'hot known' what could have caused such a sud den dea^ unless it was heat pros tration as Mr. Smith was in the best of health. It,is now* generally be lieved because of the circumstances which have occured since the death of Mr» Smith that anthrax poisoning may have been the cause rather thauj heat prostration. A veterinarian from State Head quarters..came to Randolph and'pro nounced the disease anthrax but could give no explanations as to where the ^disease .came from. . On Wednesday Br. J, C. Bobber of Falls Creek, Pa., a specialist of an thrax cases performed an operation on the infected arm-and when Tie left on Thursday he expressed his opinion to the family of Mr. Helms that there was a good chance of recovery. That evening Mr. Helms’ condition became serious, symptoms developing which had been hoped could be avoided, death occuring about five o’clock. ^ Christoper G. Helms, the son of Christoper and Lydia Markman Helms, was bortT on April 28, 1872, at Randolph, N. Y.', on the fapn and in the same house ih. which his death ocu^^ed. Mr. Helms received his ed ucation in Randolph, his entire life being spent there. Mr. Helms was united in-marriage with Mi^s Grace L. Botsford of Little Valley on June 17,. 1891'. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs.,Helms lived in the Brooklyn House, of which . , » * ■ Mr, Helms Was proprietor for a nun^ her of years. ' Later, they moved fo the. old homestead where they hav^-^ since lived. Mr. Helms is‘survived by his wife, bnd son, Christoper B. Helips and his mother, Mrs. Lydia Helms. ' The funeral was held from the home Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock,\'\^ interment was made in* Randblph cemetery. Two Good Ball Games For the Foui^ Chamheriaiit-Devine Wedding Salamanca Chapter, A.
