THE EUROPEAN PLAGUE.
Alarming Spread Of the Dread Dis
ease La Grippe Everywhere.


Because of the grip, which prevails
to an alarming extent at Chicago, the
death rate is increasing and the under
takers and coffin, manufacturers have
all they can do to keep up with the
rush of business, The department of
health was notified of s04 deaths with
in the city limits last week. This is
about 100 more than during any one week
of the grip epidemica year ago. But this
weeks mortality will disclose worse
condition of the public health If the
second half cor. esponds with the first
half of the weeks death roll La
grippe is epidemic in Indianapolis,
Ind, and the disease is more virulent
than last season. Several hundred
cases are reported, and among the dam
gerously i'll is Prof. H. d. Worries, super
intendent of public instructions. The
disease is also prevalent in Dubuque,
Ia, and it is estimated that 1000
cases exist in that city. Many deaths
have occurred. La grippe is epi-
demic in Lima, O., there being large
number of cases, several Of whom are
in most alarming condition. Within
half dozen men and women have been
stricken with the strange malady while
about their homes or on the street,
some of them remaining unconscious
for hours. Several days ago Nelson
Shade, prominent business man,
went up to Chicago on business,
and Thursday his family was sum-
moned to his bedside by telegram
that he was dying from la grippe. Ac-
cording to DR.. Nagle, of the New York
health department, there were two
deaths from la grippe during the last
twenty-four hours. This makes nine
deaths of this nature reported during
the present week. Mr.. Edison said that
if the present weather continues the
grip will soon be thing of the past
La grippe is also attacking cattle,
horses and other domestic animals in
some parts of the country.

walAxAuA.s LOVE OF SPORT.

xDsr xhe Monarch Undertook to Train
Some Native Oarsmen.
; The king was very fond Of sport, says
x1ke Fan Francisco Post, and was never
NaTPaer than when consorting with
sake athletes who wandered to his island
ussaise returning from the orient by
wzy of San Francisco. The fever for
@mnt racing in Australia caught his at
sngnaion, and he conceived the idea Of
Arsxotlucing that fascinating sport at the
fsS1Dds.
Esn bad only to express q wish for 1t
-snH khe oarsmen among the white pop
speznsun challenged crew of the natives
fse . gour-oared boat race. The articles
vs& agreement were ut once drawn up,
4szpe stakes deposited and date set
The king made up his mind that the
SRxasves would be beaten if he did not
RsrssGoe their trainer. He was so en-
NlsnaSiastic in the matter that he would
zaaa,sm no one but himself to carry out
ma xhe preparations for the contest.
He selected seven Of the most skillful
ssrs3Sers among his subjects and placed
massn in training according to his idea
SsS Eae most approved manner. He told
78Ascs that they might be as strong as
1ssrs9s-s- but If they did not train their
yswasna they would never win the race.
Xsse ISren ordered them to be up every
x1SsvDing at sunrise and await him at
Tsssse gate of the palace.
The next morning he was in the sad
s.2a1 in time to meet his crew. He car
fM-& a long blacksnake whip. His
NEsSsrs to the scullers were: "You must
rssz:l MS hard as you can until tell you
~ stop, and if you don't" He
-:s-aNEed his whip as forcible finish to
Els gBTeat.
aae ran them for three miles the first
saBfsISiny, and increased the distance
sS1ssY succeeding day. In the after
2es.sy7 he administered to each of them a
HSasserai dose Of physic. In the evenings
Jse sr;sined them in the boat. He over
Hr-ainad them, and they lost the race be-
saS.9s half the course was covered.
h-alakaua was passionately fond of
ssSs,fing yacht. He owned one which
r1.agried too much sail for any wind
Sf1s..isr than strong breeze.
srse day he sailed much farther out to
:sesA an he usually did. He was lazily
vi a3c5ing the multitude of hungry
,sss-@uclis which swarmed around his boat
rThen storm blew up. He shortened
s9sull rs quickly Us possible, and every
Eslz1a he looked at the water he saw the
ssassriss watching him. When he was
srTa7e5ully working his way back to the
a1l5lnd the sharks continued to watch
gs7epg movement of his arm at the helm,
=ss zeough debating the chances Of his
esffaI,e from their jaws. He fooled
s}zHro, thought but he afterward lost all
sap-sjre for yachting.
