The Reasons Why,
New York World. !


The reasons why Governor Hill should be
the Senator are apparent and conclusive.
He is Democrat. He is in sympathy
with Democratic aspirations and purposes,
and he believes heartily in the Democratic
doctrines of tariff reform and home rule.
lie is a man At TO represent the state
wOrthily, both in the committeeman and
upon the floor. He is an effective orator,
and a brilliant fighter for his cause.
He is conspcuOusly the ablest man who
can be had for the place, and he is the
unanimous choice Of the Democrats OF New
York.
The reasons why Governor Hill should
accept the place are equally conclusive.
New York needs him in order that her voice
i'm the senate may have is weight once
more in behalf of the right. The Democracy
Of the country need him in order that its
cause may be supported in the Senate with
yiqOr worthy of its great aspirations.

BLACK Death"
4 Philadelphia Times.

A plague Of "6lack Death" has fallen
upon Asiatic Turkey. and is scOurging the
unfortunate natives from SamarcanO to the
mouth Of the Obi river. There is no ques-
ton tina: the disease finds its genesis in the
neglect of hygienic modes OF liying-had
drainage, poor diet and yitiated condition
of the atmosphere. 1t is both epidemic and
contagious. and there cannot be doubt
that it belongs to the class Of germ diseases.
Beyond this broad fact there is no symp-
tom to indicate that il has anything in COM
mon with the distinct classes Of bacillus dis
eases which now almost exclusively engage
the thoughts and labors OF the medical
bacteriOlogists. Yet if the principle of treat
ment by incubation as unfOlded BY PrOfes-
sOr Koch and his fellOw-scientists should b
demonstrated by experience TO he correct it
would afford a scientific method Of combat
ing the awful ravages Of "A pestilence which
has scourged humanity for centuries.
Apropos Of the prevailing visitation, 1t
may yet prove to have been most benet-
cent thing for the health Of Europe that its
PRESENT winter has been so far Of extraor-
binary severity, since it is known that pro-
longed periods Of frost afford the most hope
fu atmospheric condition for the preserva-
ton Of the public health.

The stock market during the hours OF
business to-day was fairly active. The
market opened firm, except for the Wizards
and New England, which were inclined to
weakness. The dealings in the general
list were in most cases very limited
during the first hour, and the net
result was to leave prices only
fractionally above those Of yesterday. To-
ward noon the market was stronger and
prices advanced till the close. The advance
was accelerated by favorable showing of
the bank statement, which showed an in
crease Of s., 100, so in the reserves. The
closing figures were the best OF the day.
The advance ranged from ! i to 2 per cent.

PRIESTS HIS PREY,
Capture of a Bold Forger Who Is
Badly Wanted.


WHEELING, w. Va. Nov. 7.-Further
evidence developed to day in the ease
OF |. j. Porter, who was arrested last
night at the Episcopal residence of Rt.
Rev. Bishop Kahn, while trying to pass
forged check on the bishop. which
goes to show that Porter. or McGrain,
as he calls himself is one of the
most dangerous and notorious fOrgers
iii the country, and that ne is wanted in
at least a score of towns. When ar
rested large number of forged checks
on dozen different banks were found
on his person. They ranged in amount
from 1900 TO $1,000 1t seems that the
Catholic priests and schools are his
principal victims. Father Mauritius. of
St AlphOnsuS church. and formerly of
st. Augustine church. PittSburg. to-
day Identified him as the man who had
given him Il forged check Oh Harris
/; burg bank about a year ago.
Among the things found on him was a
| bunch of ten or fifteen old fashioned
quill pens and small bottle of calmine
ink. He had but SO in cash and checks
for $500. $50 and $50. Besides these he
had blank checks on about twenty banks
in all parts of the country. certified
across the face in red ink. McGrain is
Il rather distinguished looking man, his
hair and beard being white, and he has
the general appearance of a well-IO-dO-
gentleman. But for the fact that Bishop
Kahn had compared the bogus signature
with genuine one, the fellow might
have worked his game successfully.

\ VICIOUS CHINAMAN
Kills n Policeman and Wounds
Two Other Men

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.-Police OFF,
Ger John Gillen was shot and killed this
afternoon 10y Chinaman named Chew
Sinjan, who also shot and probably
fatally wounded Joseph Cowell, milk
man, and q. Barberis. a restau-
rant keeper. The Chinaman was
walking along the street when
wagon driven by two young
men passed him. They made some re-
mark which angered the Chinaman, who
drew revolver and fired. the shot
striking Cowell. who was also in the
wagon. The bullet entered Cowelrs
left breast near the lung. A crowd
gathered about the Chinaman. and ON
Ger Gilen fastened to the scene.
As he approached Chew Sinjan raised
his revolver and again fired squarely at
the officer, the bullet striking near the
heart. The Chinaman then started to
run, great crowd in pursuit, among
them Barberis. Sinjan suddenly turned
and fired over his shoulder, wounding
Barberis in the thigh. The Chinaman
then wheeled and was making for
Chinatown when he was seized by two
transfers. one of whom threw his over
coat over the Chinaman's head and
three him down. The Mong0lian fired
tnIOuS u the cOdt out mlSSeu MS cdpUOfS,
! and was diSarmed and taken to jal.
The revolver was found on him, with
its five chambers empty. He had over
! $500 in gold in a canvas belt. The Chi
! naman claims he just arrived in this city
from Sacramento, where he has been
| working, and that when he was sur
| rounded by the crowd he was afraid his
! money would be taken from him. Gil
| Ian was twenty-fOur years old and en-
gagged to be married 10 young lady of

THE WAGES OF SIN.
A Base Husband Killed by His
Partner i'm Crime.

DENVER. Col, Nov. IA little over
q year ago Samuel Stolling came
here from Chicago with his wife
and a young woman named
Lucy SwarthOuse, whom Stoling
has been maintaining as his mistress
against the protests of his wife. Stoliing
has been talking of returning to his
wife for some days past, and to-day
while he was in. the room with the
SWarthOuSe woman, violent Quarrel
took place between the TWO and re-
yOver was fired. The ball passed
through the mans head, causing instant
death.
The wife hurried into the room where
the shot was fred only to find her hus-
band dead and hear Miss Swarthouse
say: Sam killed himself" The man
and woman must have fought deSpe-
rately. for when StOlling'S body was eX-
amined at the coroner's inquest it was
found that his right leg was broken in
two places. The wound in the head is
such as would be impossible for man
to infiict upon himself. Miss Swart-
house is under arrest.

A FRIGHTFUL DISEASE.
Physicians Baffied by an Epi-
demic in Indiana.

Physicians Baffied by an Epi-
ldemic in Indiana.
FRANKFORT. Ind, Nov. 7.-lnforma-
ton was brought to this city to the eff
feet that an epidemic of new and
dreadfully fatal disease has made its
appearance near Kirklin, Ind. A few
days ago one of the children of the fam
lily of John Wyman was attacked with a
peculiar disease that baffied all medical
skill, and in forty-eight hours the child
was dead. One after another the four
children of the family contracted the
fdisease and died. "Wednesday the
mother, Mrs. Wyman. died. The father
and husband is left raving maniac.
The description of the disease is al
most too dreadful to realize. For the
first few hours the patient is affected
with mild fever; the tongue then be-
comes infiamed and assumes huge pro-
portions, quickly turns very black In
color, decomposition sets in, and In par
oxysms of the most intense suffering
death ensues. Physicians say the dis
ease is known to them only as 1T Is de-
scribed in medical books, ana that Its
home is in Asia, where among the nat
