70 MAKE 1T EASIER OVER THERE.

TO MAKE 1T EASIER OVER THERE
While Norris made his way to the
porter's room, Mr.. Everleigh and Amos
Bergman secured the services of two police
officers, and the two parties met in the
hallway a moment after the shock of the
explosion had Jared the massive walls of
the building, A few words sufficed to
make the facts of the case known to all.
"Got the keysl That's bad. Wen have
to force the door," remarked one of the
officers. Two of you watch the windows
If they try to escape that way.n
Mr.. Everleigh put his hand in his pocket
"By good luck Ingot returned me

have no difficulty in entering by this side

toned a watcher there, which isn't likelyn
The gas was burning at full head inside,
so sure were the Ilaraudcrs in the eff
cheney of the heavy shutters and the solid
bolts and bars they had drawn between
themselves and the outside world. There
were but two, standing in a breathless
pause, as the reverberating echoes of the
explosion died away; then one of them
moved forward TO continue the work

muttered the other. :. That blowout made

Both men faced about, braced either to
fight or TO fly. In twinlling the light was
out, there was rush, and Norris found
himself gruppled with in the darkness,
tossed and shaken with strength greater
than his own, though not sufficient to quite
shake of his hold. Help came 10 him Just

How England Reduced Her Annual Death.

How England Reduced Her Annual Death-
Ratc 10 u Minimum.
When cholera was raging in Europe two
or three years ago, much feeling was
aroused against England because IL re-
fused to establish quarantine against
infected ports, This feeling was shared by
manypersons in this country, in view Of the
perils involved through our intimate CON-
mercial and social relations with Great
Britain, whose course was attributed to n
selfish regard for its extensive commerce.
But its position was that the ordinary quar-
antine restrictions not only were unneces-
sary, where National sanitation was properly
attended to, but tended to give a people a
feeling of security that was not justified,
and led to neglect Of the real source of dam
ger.
At the international Sanitary Conference,
held in Rome, the delegates from England
pointed TO the fact that cholera had not ef-
fected any Judgement in that country, al
though there had been constant and free
communication between it and the cholera
infected ports Of India British sanitarians
fully believe that neither cholera nor yell
low fever can prevail in the absence Of
filth, and with the proper isolation Of in
dividual cases as they occur. Enormous
sums are spent by the Government, general
and local, every year for sanitary purposes,
and during tho past ten years the people of
England and Wales have, of their own ac-
cord and apart from Governmental taxation,
expended very much more.
The benefit to the Nation is not confined
to exemption from these foreign pests, and
TO a general sense Of safety during the
terror and financial disturbance elsewhere.
There has been pcrceptible Improvement
in the general health of the Nation. Thus
the mortality from typhoid fever. which,
beween 1865 and 1869 was at the rate Of
ninc hundred and thirty-four TO each mill
ion inhabitants, was reduced during 1880
81 to four hundred and twenty eight, and Is
now only three hundred and seven-a re-
duction Of two-thirdsl Further, the annual
death-rate FOR England and Wales since
$50 has been reduced from twenty-five 10
nineteen per thousand. Such u redction in
the United States would save one hundred
and eighty thousand lives year,
Besides these general sanitary efforts,
special medical survey of exposed districtsis is
organized, in periods of emergency, under
the supervision Of the medical officer of the
local board. But due precautions are not
neglected ut the ports of entry. The ships
are inspocted the actual sick arc removed
to the port sanitary hospital, and suspected
cases are detained not over two days. The
names OF tho other passengers and their
places of destination are taken down, and
the health boards of the respective towns
are notified OF their arrival
Owing to the division Of powers between
the general Government and tho States,
this country can not deal with sanitary mat
ters quite so effectively as England does,
but good progress is made in the scientific
treatment Of contagious Diseases Youths

but don't alarm that poor fellow. He has
had hard time, and is still in bad state

II pleased Norris to walk the streets while
he waited, but his uncle had not vet re-
turned when he finally arrived at the lodg-
ng-house, so he secured the key and made
his way TO tho room he had recently occu-
pied. Five minutes later light rap fell
upon the door. lie opened ii, and the eager

dcnce in me and means to tell me the whole
story,n
" All the world will soon know it,n said Ed
son, advancing after moment of hesitation.
1t makes little difference TO me.n
He sighed heavily as he sank into chair,
leaning his head wearily against the back.
Whatever this mans crimes had been, he
had suffered for them. 1t seemed to Norris
that the restless spirit con ned in that
warm frame could find its best relief in
giving up the strife. He pitied him, and
tried TO speak few words of encourage
ment.
= Mr.. Everleigh never passed harsh judg-
ment upon YOU l myself heard him say

WABASH, IND, Nov. ls.-There is a seri-
GUS epidemic OF diphtheria raging in this
city, aud already over dozen deaths have
occurred within comparatively short
time. The scourge is confined wholly to
children whose ages have ranged from one
to ten years. Every case has so far re-
sisted treatment and proved fatal, the pa
tient dying in two or three days.
