Who is Enquirer OF Fact
STARTLING INFORMATION FROM
HAMBURG.
London Letter.

London Letter.
A startling statement in regard to the
mortality during the cholera epidemic at
Hamburg was made today by Miss
kenealy, the we'll known nurse, in the
course OF a lecture before the National
Health society. The subject was Miss
kenealy's experience in the hospitals of
Hamburg during the terrible reign of
the plague. She said that after the con-
fusion and disorder incident to the first
few days of the epidemic. the arrange
ments at the hospitals were gotten into
good working order, and soon reached a
degree of perfection that was surprising,
and she thought could not have been ex-
celled anywhere In the world. The
accommodations, however were not suf-
ficiont to meet the emergency and but a
small proportion of the sick could be
cared for in the hospitals. The statistics
officially given out were wholly incor-
rect, and while according to them the
number of deaths was about 1900, tn.
fact was that the victims of the disease
numbered fully $4,000. The misleading
character of the official figures might
be accounted for on the ground that the
authorities and everyone else were over
worked and too busy to attend to their
dusies carefully, but it was also likely
that there was desire to conceal as far
as possible from the world the full ex-
tent of Hamburg's calamity.

THE DIVISION OF AFRICA.

From the St. Louis Mid-Continent.
The European natives are specializing
quite largely in real estate. There ought
just now be a veritable boom in African
lands. They are getting the land very
cheap, without even the ordinary cere-
monies connected with squatter sover-
eighty. Stanley opened up the country
and the nations Of Europe get out their
maps and proceed in the ''delimitation;'
helping themselves, and very literally. to
to such portions as they like, without

trouble to pay for it. What rights lad

and they do not wish to occupy it, and

France has generously helped them
selves to 2,902,624 square miles, an
amount about equal to the United
States. England up the present time
contents herself with $50, 926 square
miles. Belgium has taken only $50, 400
square miles, territory about equal to
what lies east of the Mississippi river in
our country. Turkey takes nearly an
equal amount. S36, 900 square miles Ger

Portugal takes S41, 025 square miles,
about twenty-five times as large as
Portugal herself. Italy is obliged some
what reluctantly, to be content with
6O2,O0 square miles and Spain with
203,7 67. The European powers have
generously left the African about
one-sixth of their own country,
but this portion will probably be ap
propriated later The Africans have
not yet discovered that they are not the
proprietOrs of their own lands and
country, and they are about to be re-
lieved of the trouble of governing them
selves, but this interesting news will be
gradually and gently broken to them.
Snll, after all that can be said, the con-
dition in Africa is such that it can only
prove a blessing to its people to be
roEbed of their country. Whatever we
may say of the method of getting pos
session of barbarous countries, and
whatever may be said of the rule of
other nations, England at least always
gives back more than she takes. Her
government and laws and civilization
are an unspeakable gain TO every coun-
try under her rule.

RAILROADS AND NEWSPAPERS.

]. F. Harahan, second vice president
of the Illinois Central, has issued circu-
lar to agents and employees of the road,
to which he gives some wholesome
advice regarding the treatment due rail-
road men. Among other things he said:
newspapers generally are friendly
and fair in their remarks concerning tins
company. In cases where tina contrary
is true, an improvement could generally
be effected by proper attention of the
company's representatives.
sit will generally be found that if the
company's agents and local officers will
furnish to the press the facts in matters
i'll which the public has an interest, the
newspapers will generally appreciate
such action, and will refrain from
publishing highly colored ac-
counts Of circumstances connected
with the company's operation. Many
newspapers make such exaggerated re-
ports, because they are unable to secure
from the proper representatives of the
company the actual facts, and are,
therefore, obliged to CLEAN their informa-
ton from perSous who are not always
familiar with the facts, and who may
be prejudiced against he company"
MIR. Harahan's counsel is timely and
correct. Railroad people almost uni
versally make the mistake of withhold
ing accurate information in regard to
matters in which the public feel an in
terest and have Alright to know whereas,
as stated in the foregoing, if the true
state ot the case were given the press
sensational statements would not be pub
given. Where information is withheld
the natural inference with the newspa-
per man is that the facts are bad and
probably damaging to the railroad, and
since some sort of statement is demanded
by the public it is made as readable as
possible. Railroad people generally
should profit by the suggestion gwen.

The Seventh congressional district of
Kansas has an area greater than that of
the states of New Hampshire and YER
mont put together; greater than Mass
achusetts. Connecticut and Rhode Is
land combined; twice as large as the
states of New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland combined, and one-half as
large as the state of Pennsylvania. In
view of this fact, and the further fact
that our means of prompt communica-
t:>a are meagre compared to the eastern
states, it is not a matter of surprise that
the results of elections in those states
separately should be known by the pub
lie in advance of that in this district.

SILK CULTURE IN KANSAS.

Eastern people seem to know more
about some things in Kansas than is
known at home. The following from
the American Farmer illustrates a case
in point. The journal says:
1T may seem strange, but Kansas is
now the only silk producing state in
America. Other states grow cocoons.
but only Kansas now uuwinds the
delicate fibre with which the worm
cloisters itself from the world.
THE reason is that the two govern
ment stations, one at Philadelphia and
one at Washington. received 80 appro-
priation from the last congress. and the
experiments at these points must stop
for the present; for slk-raising in
America is commercially Yet III the

Mr..L D. Graham, secretary of the
state agricultural college, writes an ar
ticle on western Kansas, from which we
quota. "With her wonderfully rich soil,
her sunny skies, and her delightful eli
mate, western Kansas was evidently not
created for the sole purpose of lying out
of doors, and those farmers and business
men who have SO far triumphed over
adverse circumstances as to be able tn
remain there and continue their business,
are fast learning some of the Thugs she
can be made to do. Corn-growing is
uncertain; cattle raising, without range
or shelter and feed, is unremunerative;
but the small grains have there found a
home which seems especially congenial.
and they are rapidly making of this re-
gion one of the best agricultural sections
of the great west"

HISTORY OF HYPNOTISM.
It's Obscure Origin In India and It's Pro
gress Up to Date.

It's Obscure Origin In India and It's Pro-
gress Up to Date.
How largely European thought has
turned towards the subject of hypnot-
ism is shown by the facts that there are
two schools and half a dozen societies
devoted exclusively to its study, a
scientific journal published monthly in
Paris upon its progress, and at least
fifty prominent physicians and scien-
fists who are making it special field
of investigation. Since 1885 forty-six
books have been written upon it, SO
that hypnotism can be truly said to
have quite goodly literature of it's
own. As America has caught the con-
tagion of research, it is more than prob
able that the next decade will see the
figures mentioned largely increased by
American societies, newspapers and
literary work.
That people could be put into a

MuRMuRED PRAYERS.

Strange Scenes Described BY . Visitor %

81 wish / could give an adequate Inn
preston of the scene Within the
piscina-a long room containing three
baths and crowded with invalids,' each
under the charge of one or two attend
ants-a constant murmur OF prayer
filed the ears. As each patient came
down for immersion. four or i've of the
assistants gathered round to join, with
arms uplifted, in praying with him.
The demeanor of the sick men them
selves was very various Some, with
eyes closed and hands clasped and with
an air of complete resignation on their
faces, lay quietly back to await what
might befall them. Others, clutching
wildly at our hands as we led them
down, flung themselves about and beat
the water in an agony of despair. cry
ing out imploringly that health and
strength be- given them. A few. with
perhaps more vigor than devotion,
kneeling erect, flourished their hands
almost threateningly aloft, exclaiming:
Cure us. Holy Virgin; Holy Virgin, you
must cure US!
''Most pathetic were some Of the in
cidents. One of the figures most no
ticed among the crowd of sick was that
of Capuchin friar blind and almost
stone deaf, who had been brought from
far by two of his brethren in hopes of
obtaining a cure. These accompanied
him to the piscina, all dressed in
the long robes of their order.
He was led down to the water,
pale, silent, but full of hope, and
bathed. And now you can hear
us?' asked one of the friars. confident
ly, as he helped him out again. No re-
ply. But surely you could hear when
you were in the water?' he persisted.
Still no answer. And could you not
even hear our voices when we prayed
for you?' he exclaimed, wonderingly.
Alas! though l saw his sad face four
times returning to the piscina, and /
thought: Surely if any man deserves
healing. this is he The water had no
virtue for him, and he went away I'M

During my service at the piscina
there appeared upon the scene NJ. lola
in person. He had intended preserving
his incognito, but was inopportunely
recognized at the station, and thence
forth went about accompanied by a
gentleman whom the president had
courteously put at his disposal with au-
thority to pass him anywhere he wished

piscina, watching the proceedings with
a critical eye. I overheard one good
cure say to another-and l thought L

his voice: 'Ah, there, indeed, is very
great sinner!' NJ. lola was also taken
over to the hospital. and, among others,
he talked for some time to little girl
who was, believe, said to have been
cured of her ailment. The child seemed
i'll at ease and absent, and the next day,
returning to her, he asked her why she
