A SMALLPOX STORY,

An Undertaken Relates an interest
ing Experience.
nT remember the time when we had
mite number of smallpox in this" "
citv said one of our old undertakers
to a LIGHT man today, in speaking of
the present scare. "It was the GUS
tom of the city health officer to put
a guard about the place where people
were down with the disease and thus
quarantine them and their attend
ants until at least reasonable time
had elapsed. However. when the
patient had died, one of the attend
ants would 60 to the undertaken and
make all preparations tor the quiet
funeral. know that this is still the
case for often have had parties,
who have been waiting upon
the diseased patients, come to
me for the collins, and then
take the disease themselves. These
attendants should not be allowed to
get out among the people like that
but to get back to my story. A little
Mexican child had died of the disease
at her home and one of the men of the
family came to me for the coffin, not
stating of what the child had died.
He looked at q few cheap ones and
finally selected one which L speedily
put in shape while he went for an ex-
press wagon. He took the coffin to
the honse and returned later In the
day with il, saying that 1t was too
small. They had put the dead child
in it, but IL was much too small. /
put the coffin back in its place and
gave the man one that would fit the
measure he had brought with him.
Just then Mr.. dropped in and
casually inquired as to what the
child had died of. Small pox' was
the reply. Well. sir, you ought to
have seen the proprietor and his part
ner jump at the information. didn't
feel so very easy myself. The man
who exchanged the coffin, took the
larger one and hied himself away.
No one would 60 near the coffin in
which the dead small pox patient
had been fitted, so took it out side,
and thoroughly fumigated it. Just
as had put it in its old place,
disinfected, another
party came in and asked for a coffin.
The measurement he gave fitted the
coffin exactly. "What
did the child die Of 1 inquired.
Small pox said the man
'AIl right I replied, as I took down
the small pox coffin, 'this is just the
thing. Here; Scott, load this up and
move it right along The express

marked to him as he left the place: This
Is the last time that you will ever see me
alive" Nothing was thought of the re-
mark at the time.
Said gentleman, who is near relative
of Mr. Hutchinson: "We have seen for
some time that his mind was affected, and
we have been considering whether 1t
would not be best to take some measures
of restraint. AS regards the trades made
BY him we have made some careful in
uuiries. They are few in number, and are
being settled now, and there are ample
funds to meet all of his liabilities. He
was seen late last night at the Lake Shore
and Rock Island depot with bag in his
hand, and the supposition is that he left
the city on train on one of those roads
1t has been learned that Mr.. Hutchinson
bought ticket last night for Pensacola,
Fla 1t is believed that his losses on the
Board of Trade unbalanced his mind. The
great operators outstanding trades
amount to s., 100000, which will be settled
dollar for dollar Some believe that "Old
Hutch" is insofvent. If such is the TACT
several brokers will lose large amounts,
In an interview tonight H ID. Russell,
of Russell & Barrett, said: Il estimate
Mr.. Hutchinson's losses during the past
fourteen months at not less than S2,UoO,-
900. We place his present obligations at
$3.50. 900 and his available: assets at $3.50 600,
representing total shortage OF Sl0o,00O.
In his departure from the city think Mr.
Hutchinson knew what he was doing; that
he was aware he could not settle in full,
and was so mortified that he concluded to
absent himself until settlement could be
made"

Belief in Sickness.

It is very old observation that donli-
nant idea is valuable i'll controlling the
human being, and whether it be in the
bearing of pain or in the devotion which
leads the Turk to die contentedly before
the Russian bullets, belief is factor that
may be turned to great advantage. In
directly, Christian science may prove an
aid to medicul science. The intelligent
physician of today could receive IL
greater aid in the scientific practice of
his profession than to be emancipated by
his patients from the obligation invari-
ably to prescribe drug. When people
are willing to employ physicians to order
their lives so that they may live IN
health, the custom which binds the ply
sician to prescribe something for his pa
tient will be unnecessary.
AS we have become more civilized this
state of affairs is gradually coming into
place, but there still fingers the expecta-
ton that the doctors visit means drugs.
Christian science and faith cure, more
refined than the spiritualistic beliefs
which have preceded them, form an in
teresting study in mental pathology, and
mark an advance from the grosser stage
of table tipping and magnetic doctors 10
recognition of the fact that among the
weapons employed by the scientific ply
sician of today an appeal toa determined
purpose to overcome pain is worthy Of q
place beside antiseptics and anodynes
and tonlcS.--Century.

One Girl Who Sells Them Shrewdly, and
One Who Uses Them CuriousIy.
A genial old gentleman was buying
violets from the flower girl on Broadway.
"Well, I'm getting to be a pretty old
customer, eh, Katie" he observed, as he
arranged the flowers in the lapel of his
overcoat.
you've been buyin' flowers a good
many years, sir, but you're not old yet,
replied Katie, with the shrewd fattery
of her sex. Il like to see gentleman
wear flowers, especially a middle aged
gentleman. That shows his heart amt
growin' old, an it shows he likes what's
sweet an clean. l notice a lot of the
gentlemen lose their grip in that way
when they get along
sHow do you mean they lose their
grip, Katie?' asked the gentleman.
''Oh, they get over carin' for vilets

lies" replied the flower girl. Il see a
lot Of young fellers dressed up fine goin
along here for few years, an they all
wear flowers in their coats. They are
all bright, just like the flower, and you
can't help likin' 'em for it. That's when
they're mashers an when the girls care
for 'em.
''Then they get married, an the first
thing they drop is the flowers from their
coats. That takes away all their bright
ness. an then it does seem as if they go
sort of dusty, an as if their hats were
old or not brushed. Once IN while,
though, a gentleman gets married an
grows a little old an still he buys vi'lets.

Tho old gentleman blushed, and
hemmed and hawed.
'.Humph. Haw-whats the price Of
those roses, Katie? They look very
fresh"
Two dollars dozen sir, and they're
fresh cut this morning
'Humph, Haw-well, pick out two
dozen nice ones and send them TO my
wife. Here, This rs my card. Good
morning, Katie
That's a nice gentleman" said Katie
to herself, as the customer walked away.

THE AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.

WASHINGTON, April 29-The report of
Rev. VIM. A. Rice, secretary of the Amer
lean Tract society, summarizes the work
of the past year, which was a most pros
porous one.
Its receipts for the wear from all sources,
including both the business and benevo-
lent depart!nents were, in round numbers,
s3O5, 600 The society has issued IN the
sixty-six years of its existence, 1888 DIS
tinct publications in this country, and
1888 in foreign countries. These publlca-
tons are in 153 languages and dialects OF
the world There have been added during
the past year $50 new permanent publlca-
tions, not includiag periodicals. 1t pub
fishes six periodicals, two of which are III
German The entire circulation of these
periodicals the past year was l.9Oo, ,5O0
copies 1t issues many publications IN
German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese,
Swedish, Bohemian and Polish.
During the past year it has employed
Isl coloporteurs, who have labored in
thirtv-four of the states and territories,
and in Ontario. They have made 1858
family visits, and put into circulation
about s5 600 volumes of Christian litera-
ture. They found 2l,S24 families who
never attend church, 5,719 without the
Bible, and ,558 without religious read
ing matter
The tract society has Just completed
fifty years of this colporteur work, the
sending of the printed truth to the homes
of the neglected multitudes by the hand
of the living speaker. The record of these
fifty years is something wonderful.
Volumes thus circulated, II, $50. 245; public
meetings addressed, 466, $50; families Wis
tied, of whom 1,741, ,307 were Roman
Catholics, 13, ,SSS, ,7l3; Protestant families
found without a Bible, 69l, ,Sl6 families
destitute of all religious reading except
the Bible, 1,16S935.
The colporteurs conducted religious
exercises in 1875, ,566 of the homes visited.
Their work has been mainly in the west
In sparsely-settled regions, in the south,
and among the immigrants throughout
the entire country. Many of the colport-
eurs have been converted foreigners, who,
being able to speak foreign language
and having the truth printed in the same
tangue, were thus well fitted for reaching
their own people. a very large number
has thus been reached and converted TO
Christ.
1t is estimated that there are today in
the United States at least 20 600 600 people
who are not reached by the existing or
ganiZed UNCONVENTIONAL agencies. It is
among these outside masses of population
that the American Tract society Is in the
main laboring. This society, Mr.. Rice
said, is an evangelical organization re-
ceiving its support and encouragement
from all evangelical churches. 1t is unde-
nominational, but thoroughly Christian.
1t stands as living, active witness to the
value of Christian unity and cooperation
in the work of evangelizing this nation.
In addition to this general work it does

ANGRY INDIANS.

FORT CUSTER, Mont, April 29.-Plenty
Cause. a Crow chief, with about 1000 In
dians. came to within five miles of Fort
Custer Monday, and Plenty Cause rode in
to have talk with the commanding Off
Ger, Gen. Brisbin. The Indians said it was
proposed to lease their lands to cattlemen
for grazing purposes. They had cattle OF
their own, and did not want strangers to
go on their reservation. They did not OBJ
iect to the men already there, as they
were good and truthful men, but no more
must come. If strange men with cattle
came whom they could not trust, they
would kill the cattle and then the owners
and herders, unless they cleared out. The
Indians were much excited and seemed
positive and angry. Gen. Brisbin prom
ised that he would tell the great father
what they had said, and the Indians re-
turned home
