A case Of malignant small pox has been
discovered in Chelsea, Mass. The victim is
sea captain, who contracted the disease in
ST. John, N. B., where it is now raging
For several days, while the disease was in its
early stages, he was ON the street and went
in and out of offices. Naturally the people
Of Chelsea are considerably alarmed and
there is a great boom in vaccination. The
case was discovered not by the board Of
health but by a newspaper reporter. This
case should operate as a warning to the peo-
pie Of Portland not to wait until the disease
is known to exist here before being vac
cinated. What has occurred in Chelsea is
liable to occur here. A man may come into
the city from Canada any day sick with
small pox and wander about the streets or
lodge in hotel some time before the nature
of his disease is discovered. During the cpl
demic which prevailed in this city some years
ago a man walked into the police station
broken out with small pox. The proper
time to be yaccinated is now.

The question of the equity of the New
Hampshire insurance law aside, it is very
evident that if the companies persist in re-
fusing to do business in the State, the law
is.destined to prove very disastrous one to
owners of property there. 1t looks now
as if it would be impossible when pol
icies at present in force expire to get them
renewed Mutual companies may supply the
deficiency to a certain extent, but it is not
probable that they can do so fully. Besides,
companies of that class are not likely to
command general confidence. There Is al
ready some talk Of special session of the
Legislature to repeal the law, and it will
probably grow stronger as the full extent of
the mischief dawns upon the New Hamp-
shire people and the people of other
States who hold mortgages upon property in
that State, for it can readily be seen that the
actual residents of the State are by no means
the only sufferers.

Had thirty Americans been murdered in
Shanghai and the rest of the American resi-
dents been driven out the American press
would be filed with demands for reparation
and for thepunishment of the murderers. No
doubt also the State department would make
a special appeal to the Chinese government
on the subject. There have been no Ameri-
cans murdered in Shanghai, and American
residents live there unmolested. But in Wy
oming Territory, which is situated in the
''land Of the free" thirty Cinnamon have
just been murdered in cold blood, and the
rest of the Chinese residents driven out sim
ply for working at lower wages than Ameri-
cans. 1t is the duty of the government to
see that the men that perpetrated this out
rage are brought to justice speedily and
properly punished.

The Yankee Girl'S Choice.

From the Portland Sunday Welcome.
Residing on the Clackamas River,
in Clackamas county, Oregon, is a
good old quaker couple, whose pretty
daughter, with her "thees" and
"thous" and chaste style of dressing,
has been more thoroughly admired
than any one for miles around. The
fame of her beauty was not confined
to the immediate neighborhood of her
fathers farm, but had reached the
ears of stalwart young stonecutter
of this city, named Stafford, and also
the auriculars of gay young rail-
road engineer, named Morgan.
Both fell in love with the modest
girl at first sight, the parents Directing
to Stafford, who is Catholic. while the
daughter manifested slight prefer
encefor him. To make long story
short, Stafford was SO devoted in
his attentions that, unknown to the
parents he succeeded III engaging him.
self to the object of his alteration, land
gave her 500 with which to purchase
a few necessary articles of wearing
apparel. This reaching the fathers
ears, he sent for Stafford and Morgan
the latter appearing upon the scene
accompanied by two friends-and
with his pretty daughter met them
all in his little parlor.
The feelings of the rivals can we'll
be imagined when the blunt old
Quaker announced to his daughter
that her two admirers were be ore
her, and that although he preferred
the engineer, he would leave the choice
of her future husband entirely to her.
The poor girl burst into tears, and it
could be plainly seen by the tumul-
tuous heaving of her bosom that
great struggle was going on between
tilial devotion on one side and love
for the choice Of her young heart on
the other. Pending the decision
Stafford and Morgan hardly dared
raise their eyes from the carpet. At
last, with mighty effort and a voice
full of tears, the young Quakeress
sobbed the name OF Stafford, and
gently put her hand in his. Morgan
accepted the situation like a sensible
fellow, and with his friends, left the
house sans ceremonie.

the alert ready for toe, human or other,
I reached the table where the lamp
stood and felt for a match. None.
But l had some i'll my pocket. My
clothes were upon the other side of the
bed. went slowly around, found the
matches, came back to the table, and
keeping my pistol in my right hand,
removed the globe and chimney of the
lamp, struck a light, took a hurried
look about the room, put the fire to
the wick, replaced the chimney, and
turned again to the white mystery.
There it stood; but what 1t was Icould
not even guess. One thing was certain,
it had not been there when I went to
bed. In the light it looked like great
white box some ten feet high open on
the sides, and standing against he wall
opposite the foot of the bed. Taking
up the lamp walked towardit. What
is that on top? By heavens, it is my
trunk"
"What do you think the ghost was!

will at times do-a couple OF

and the shelvings removed. When,
therefore, rushed at it 1 had simply
fallen into q hole, some three feet by
two in the floor between the elevators

the machine had gone down with me,
and, my WEIGHT removed, had again
risen. had come down very hard on
the stone paving in the former kitchen,
had cut myself on some projecting
edge, for there were two pretty bad
places from which the blood still drip

mysterious agency which had hurled
me into that awful pitt"
Did you ever hear of a ghost doing
more? Inever heard of one who could
do half SO much"
"But just think if l had gone bare
footed and bedraggled, called up my
men, and led them to combat with
an old white dumbwaiter!"
