The Yale football team was evidently
not very badly demoralized by its defeat.
There are two thousand foreign physi-
clans who are now in Berlin in search of
information concerning the new treatment
for consumption.
Last summer the London County Coun-
Gil acquiesced in the eight-hour demand
and made eight hours days work for a
large number of men employed in the
drainage works. A few days ago it was
compelled to pass regulation forbidding
these men to spend their leisure hours in
earning money elsewhere.
1t is not SO easy to become "doctor"
in England as in this country. Medical
students in London are compelled to go
through course of four years study, hos
pital attendance and lectures before being
qualified to appear for final examination.
By an order of the general medical coun-
Gil of England the term of preparation has
been extended to five years.
An active lobby of Mormon agents is in
Washington seeking to prevent the passage
of bills now pending in congress by which
Mormons are disfranchised. The hope of
this lobby is that if it can prevent the
passage of such bills at this session the
democrats may come into power and ad-
NIT Utah to the union in it's present status,
| which would mean a perpetuation of Nor
monism under Statehood conditions.

with England and India The company is
issuing its own postage and revenue
stamps, in which the company's badge-a
sun in all its glory, surmounted by an i'm

piece; above the sun is the value in Arabic
figures; below is the company's motto,
"Ight and Liberty" and the value in
English. Twelve different values of stamps
are issued.
Some defects in the ballot reform law of
New York were made plain by the recent
election. Without advocating any radical
departure from the system at present in
vogue, it is proposed to secure greater
efficiency at less expense by reducing the
total number of ballots printed and stop
grant of the privilege of representation up
on the ballots to every candidate who files
a nomination paper with certain small
number of signatures. As the law stands,
four times as many ballots are printed as
there were votes cast at the last election,
and since from ten to fifteen different
tickets are offered at every New York city
polling place, it is easy to see that the
total expense in that city, for example, is
great. At the late city election, it is said,
between thirteen and fourteen million
ballots were printed at a cost of nearly
$50,000 This seems unnecessary and un-
desirable, and the present proposition is
to reduce the number of ballots by the
disuse of the blank ticket provided and by
more stringent regulation of nominations
by petition.

An Irishman, who might almost be

his friend, noticing his embarrassment,

MEMPHIS, March 31.-Rain has fallen
in torrents since last night; the Missis-
sippi river is again rising. 1t is prob
able that all the low lands below Helena
will be overfowed. A break in the
levee occurred at midnight at Austin,
Mississippi This morning it widened
to 300 feet. There is no possible way to
close the gap, and it may increase to an
unlimited extent. All the plantations
in the vicinity are being rapidly sub
merged. The tenants are leaving with
out saving any Of their effects.
Greenville Inundated.
The Appeaps Greenville, Miss, special
says: The levee north of the city gave
way at noon, despite the efforts of the
people, and the water poured in upon
the city, which always before had been
above the level of the Mississippi at its
greatest height The flood is tremen-
dous one, and the volume of water pour
ing in from three breaks above and
spreading out in all directions, is mum
dating plantation after plantation, which
in the food OF 'S2 were above the water
1t is estimated by engineers, that large
portion of the city will be flooded, and
the greatest height the water will reach
in the lower parts will be three feet. 1t
is greatly feared the heavy wind and
rain now prevailing will cause the levees
to give way in new places. The water
from the Austin break will find an out
let into the Yazoo river, which will in
undate large section of countryln Sun
flower and Yazoo counties.
Two white men and a negro, crossing
the river in skff, were drowned by
their boat capsizing. Many slight casual
ties have resulted from skiffS coming in

business, and a man, claiming an inter-

OF arrest for him. Deputy Sheriff Me-
Gonigal waited till night before serving
it, then cody demanded $100 as his
price for allowing Fox to remain at lib

it, and before the twenty-four hours
