HOSPITAL FAKES.
People Who Make Money by ShanmiAg
 Illness in the Street

Illness in the Street.
 On the sidewalk lay a respectable-looking woman, apparently suffering great pain, says the New York World. She was poorly dressed, and looked so pleadingly at the surrounding spectators that many ladies were prompted to give her money. In little While an ambulance arrived, the surgeon jumped out, and the crowd fell back to let him approach the woman. But as soon as he saw her face with & look of disgust he returned to the ambulance and refused to take her to the hospital. The crowd got indignant, and several of the ladies suggested various kinds of punish ment for the surgeon who had left the "poor sick woman " on the sidewalk, refus- ing her medical aid. In order to better ex- press their condemnation of the surgeons conduct many of them gave the woman more money. On the departure of the ann bulanCe the woman seemed to get better. Shc stood up and walked q few steps. Some one asked her if she could walk home, and she said she thought she could. The crowd dispersed and the woman started through Fourteenth street. The reporter followed. N ncn Ihlrd avenue was reached the wonl- an entered saloon and there drank two glasses of whisky.
 The reporter then called on the ambulance surgeon who refused to take the woman, and who is connected with one of the lead ing hospitals. In response to questions the surgeon said: That woman is an old-time hospital fake As soon as her purse is low she will pick out some busy part of Broadway, fall down, and pretend to be ill. She eats snuff, which makes her look death Iy white for awhile, and this helps to excite sympathy. Passers-by will, through sym pathy, give her mopey. You see it is reg uIar business with her. 1 have had her sev- eral times, and so has every hospital in this city. She causes ambulance surgeons no end of trouble"
 Have you many of these hospital fakes' to contend withs" asked the reporter.
 "Why, yes, lots of them," responded tho surgeon. "There is man who stimulates apopleSy so well that he can almost deceive physician. He makes money by doing so. He generally falls in prominent places, and on tho arrival of an ambulance immediately recovers Another case is that of B young woman who pretends to have gastric ul- cer. She is familiar with the symptoms, and will fall in the street and pretend to bs suffering great pain The money she col phine.
 stimulates paralysis so well that you can puncture his limb with knife or needle without muscle in his body twitching. This fellow is an old-timer and we'll known ln all the hospitals The difficulty with these fakes is that when one of them is really sick and an ambulance is summoned the surgeon is apt to think them shamming, and then they are left"

ERASTUS WIMAN'S IDEA.
He Tells Canadians That Commercial
 Union Is the Only Way Out.

Union Is the Only Way Out.
 ST. THOMAS, Ont, Sept. 5.-At a harvest home picnic given under the auspices ot the East Eigin Farmers institute, at Port Stan ley Hon. EraStus Wimau spoke in favor of closer commercial relations between Canada and the United States In the course of his address he said that the discussion of Can adian affairs in the United States occupied more and moro attention, but nothing had been settled, ani. ;Ne prospect was that noth- ing would be settled for some time. The fact that Canada was part of the British empire enabled politicians bidding for the Irish vote to uSe the important questions in- Volved for party purposes, but this was not an unmixed evil, provided it raised the queS- ton to one of prime importance. Diplomacy had failed to settle the fishery puZZ q, retail iation would fail. There must be some way soon found to peacefully and protitably ar range matters The simplest way was the best. The Canadian people would not con- sent to annexation. The more immediately practi al plan which commendS itS1lf to bus mess men is to unite the two countries com mercialy by uniform tariff thus putting the customs line around the continent, in- stead of across it. The result would be an enlarged market both for United States manufactures and Canadian products. It was singular that the politicians had not seen the availability of this plan to hurt English manufacturers and thus please the Irish constituency. These and other conSld- erations led Mr Wiman 70 believe that the idea of commercial union and partnership between the two countries would in due time prevail Those who look for political union cannot object to commercial union as a preliminary step, while those who disap- prove political union will find i'll trade part nerShip all the advantages of a closer rela- tion, without the disadvantages they dread.

The StnrY Not Trna.

A French journal published for the pur- pose of giving curious information has been investigating the story that during the Reign of Terror Mile. de Sombreuil was made to drink glass of human blood as the price of her life, and asserts that this honored legend is untrue. All the foundation there could be for it, the paper says, is that she probably was asked to drink glass of wine to the health of the republic, and the hand of the man who gave it to her might have been dripping with blood.-New York Sun.

Now a Question Arises
Is It Yellow or Dengue Fever
 at Jacksonville :?
INCREASING, WHATEVER IT IS

No Report Last Night, but the Number Than the Day Before-The Death Rate
 Grntiryingly Small.
 JACKSONVILLE Fla Sept. 5-The yellow fever, If such the epidemic now prevalent in this city really is, is still spreading, and the number of its victims increases alarmingly each day. The number of new cases reported up to noon was nearly double the number reported at the same time the day before.
 The mild type of the disease leads to the belief that the epidemic is really nothing more serious than severe type of dengue, but this hope has by no means allayed the consternatlon among the residents here. The appropriation of the city continues, much to the qualification of the health board
 There Is absolute necessity for some means of taking the women and children out of the city. While u number of nr-n have been at tackled and some few have Gie-i. : ., ->-,.. theiesS fact that tle a ce .,t tA.. .,ISs,2 .e az more s4rIOuS &LlO " .'iN n and CT. >.rt,l ] l"y are the first |" ., Nt,uc I'd, uud suffer m 're from Il than tHe 'ner Tur spread of tn disease among tha e.:s ,.e population has hean greater than among the men. If some arrangements could be made by which a
 
 could be taken from the city the number of new cases daily reported would be decreased, and the work of the physicians would be greatly facilitated.
 One of the first of the new cases reported was that of F. P. Tischler a Bay street mer- chant He was in New York when the fever broke out, but returned last Thursday. He at once joined the forces who were fighting the disease, and worked hard to prevent it's spread. He has been overworked and ex- posed to the contagion, and is now on the list of the sick.
 The low death rate still continues, and from this favorable sign comes all of the hope and confidence which Sustains those who have so nobly remained in the city, and aided in the work of sanitation and disin- lection. Had the death rate equaled the usual proportion of previous epidemics, noth- ing could have induced even the old guard to remain.
 No official report given out Dr. Neal Mitchell was called off to see some pa- tients and was unable to make up his daily report. There is probably larger number of cases than on Monday
