The Cholera,

Three or four years ago, the cholera
 began one of it's marches west from India. Again and again, it was turned back and
 western countries escaped the plague, by reason of intelligent precautions.
 Baffied in the other routes, it marched into Persia and, obtaining a good foot hold there, crossed the Caspian sea and set up business in Baku, Russian town on the west shore of the sea- It ran up pretty mortality list and then journey ed on to the north and west, largely through territory that seemed of it's own choosing. In Persia, ,the ignorant people had taken no precautions against it; in Russia, the same classes not only took no care, but waxed angry with the doctors and the sanitary inspectors. Recent ac- counts tell how physicians have been kill led and all regulations intended to pre- vent the spread of the disease ignored or opposed by the very persons for whose good they were intended.
 Thus the cholera marched. Presently it was heard of far up the country, vast ing the districts already ravaged by famine and afflicted with typhus fever. It appeared at Moscow and at last inyad- ed St. Petersburg. Official reports propaply failed to tell the truth. that was certainly the common impression. but now even these reports present 8 picture appalling in it's vast dimensions of illness and death. St. Petersburg sends word that on Tuesday, I6th, 7,s09 new cases were reported and 3, 742 deaths. This is terrible story if it is even now less than the truth, imagination can hard- ly realize the misery that affects an already stricken country. The worst of it is that, as far as can be learned. the disease is still on the increase and no one can say just how widely contagion has been carried or whether places that sup pose themselves yet safe have not now the nucleus of disease in the body of a refugee from some other spot where the quarantine has been imperfectly cnforc- ed.-l lCourant.

A GIGANTIC swlNpLE.
Financial Collapse in London That VIII
Unearth "a Big Scandal.


LONDON, Nov. 1.-The collapse Of the
Liberator Building society, simultaneously
with the downfall Of the London and Gen
eral bank, is likely TO prove one Of the most
gigantic financial sensations of the genera
tion.
The official receiver stated at today's
meeting of creditors that the Liberator so
ciety owed the shareholders and creditors
Sl6. .5G5, 600, while the reserve fund was only
$500 and was little better than a mere
book entry at that. The mortgages
amounted TO SiLll5,0OO and were at first
supposed to be good assets. but investiga-
tion had shown that they were probably
valueless, as Sl5,0ll .l30 had been lent to
three companies which are now in liquida-
ton.
There were virtually no free assets, there
being only s250, eco in sight with which to
meet a deficiency Of Sl5,OOO,OOO. The bulk
Df the money had been lent upon nothing
better than third liens. 1t was absurd to
talk about possible reconstruction Of the
society, for there was nothing to recon
struct.
Criminal prosecution Of the directors OF
the concern will be the next thing in order.
1t is said that j. Spencer Balfour, NJ. p,
the vice president and real head of the con
cern, together with several Of the directors,
has pocketed hundreds of thousands OF
pounds in the shape Of commissions, which
are now alleged TO be illegal.

HOW pIeNIrARIss weRe eRoueAT
Magnificent Trains Run over the Penn
sYlvania system.


One of the most important and sue
cessful features in connection with the
dedicatory exercises of the Worlds Fair
grounds. and one which fully illustrates
the wonderful progress which our coun-
try has made within the last half cen
tury, was the movement made by the
Pennsylvania railroad company Of the
cabinet officers, the sapreme court JUS
tees and the diplomatic corps from
Washington TO this city an1 back. 1t
required three special trains to perform
this function, and Vice President Frank
Thomson. TO whom the credit of the
achievement is due made requisition on
the Pullman Palace Car company for the
finest equipment which those famous car
builders could produce. The result was
a triple section train such as has never
before gliGed over the rails in any coun
try. A crew of twenty FIVE persons. in
Guiding stewards, cooks, walters, por
ters, maids, electricians, and machinists,
in addition to the usual quota of train
men, was required 10 insure proper ser
vice The outfit resembled in n some
what lessened degree the personal equip
ment of an ocean greyhound, Of which
the trains were a duplication on land
These trains were provided and ten
dered for the use of the distinguished
guests of Chicago by Nice-Presidont
Thomson They were run from Wash
ington TO Chicago as sections Of the
regular Chicago limited, of which they
were duplicates. and they conformed TO
the regular schedule Of that train. With
the thorough organization Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company and its splen.
did system they came through the enthe
distance, ON the special schedule time
arranged for them. without accident or
delay of any kind, and this in the face of
an extraordinary increased passenger
traffic. The great line is in such excel
lent physical condition, so we'll protected
by the safeguards of modern invention,
and so perfectly managed by q corps of
men who have been educated and trained
under the eyes of its high officials, that a
movement of this kind, extraordinary as
it may appear to the public, was effected
without interfering in any manner with
the routine of everyday traffic.
! IL is safe to say that while no other
/ country in the world would be able TO
move the entire organization Of its gov
ernment distance of 600 miles, so
there is no other railroad company which
could grapple with such problem and
solve it with the ease to the persons in
interest and the credit to itself that
has distinguished this achievement Of
the Pennsylvania railroad II reflects
the utmost credit on Vice. President
Thomson, who planned. and his as
sociates, who executed the brilliant feat
of Irailroad transportation, and holds
out a bright promise of equally success
ful work when the resources Of this line
will be drawn upon next year 90 furnish
adequate transportation facilities TO the

sUNDAYs AT LIE woRLo,s FAIR
The Directors VIII Probably Declare for
a Seven DaY ENpnsitlon.

a Seven Day Exposition.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-At their next meeting
the directors Of the Worlds fair will prob
ably declare that the exposition must be
kept open on Sunday, and formally inau-
gurate the campaign that is expected TO end
in the repeal by congress Of the Sunday
clause put in the appropriation bill.
As the case now stands both national and
local boards are on record as committed to
Sunday closing. The Chicago directors
months ago accepted the S2,5OO,0O0 appro-
priated with the closing clause attached,
and last week the national commission
voted that the exposition should be locked
on Sunday. In neither case however, can
it be said that the action taken was final or
that it fairly represented the sentiment Of
either board.
OF the foity-fve men on the board it is
believed forty-three are strongly in favor
Of "A seven day fair. To what extent the
local board will figure in the campaign
against Sunday closing has not been de-
cided. 1t is likely, however, that an ad-
dress will be issued and gives the widest
circulation 1t will take the form Of an
appeal TO labOring men and other organ
lied bodies, asking them to express their
sentiments to congressman and senators.
