The Plague I'm London.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Jan. 10.-There Is no abatement
of the plague of influenza in London. and
the hospitals are taxed to their utmost ca
pacity IN accommodating the numerous
cases pouring in upon them. Matters are
made worse by the fact that q number OF
regular physicians on the staff of almost
every hospital are stricken down with the
disease and unable to perform their share
of the increased work. Many of the stu
dents at Guys Hospital. too. have fallen
victims TO the prevailing ecourge. Private
practitioners are also over whelmed by the
number of influenza cases to which they
are summoned. The leading physicians,
whose patients are of the class willing and
even anxious TO employ trained nurses, re-
port it impossible TO fill the demapd for
such attendants. Skilled nurses can COM
mand their own price. and If their number
was many times multiplied all could OBJ

LONDON, Jan. I0.-Alarm has been caused

the Dukes illness arouses more sympathy

The week under review has continued with
80 good a demand for refined that re6ners are
still oversOld in nearly all grades, and p~articu-
larly for granulated. They have q sufficient
supply of raw sugars for present wants, and
for the future, if not interrupted by too pro-
tracted delays on voyage. The importers
stocks in the United States are, however, very
small and can fill no gap in receipts if any
such occurred. Reliance must be placed on 8
continuous foreign supply until your domes-
tic Drop is ready for market, and the available
supplies from non cholera countries are not very
large at this season of the year. Next to the
cholera the most notable event of the week
and what would attract much attention but
for the cholera is the extension Of the gro
GERS agreement over the entire United
States. We have in previous letters given
this agreement in full and it is only necessary
to say that it is the same arrangement which
has been in operation in the New York and
New England wholesale grocers' association
for over a year, and recently extended into
your southern territory and elsewhere.
It has been found to work 80 advantageous
lv to all concerned that SO per cent, Of the sn-
tire sugar trade of the United States have re-
quested it's privileges, and the American Su-
gar Refining Company, have given notice that
tnow covers the whole country on and after
the 18th inst. It means q maintenance OF
uniform prices throughout the land, a fair
profit to grocers and an easy mode of distri-
buting sugar by the American Sugar Refining
Company and 10 not against the interest of
the consumer. 1t should be considered by
stock holders. of the company as adding many
percentages of value to their certificates
for permanent investment for dividends.
The changing of the dividend on the com-
mon stock to q per cent quarterly will be bet
ter appreciated by investors when the cholera
scare has passed by.
Total stock of raw sugars in the four ports
on the 18th inst, was 96,819 tons, against
ll6, 1913 tons last week and 1870, 1855 tons at same
time last year Total stock in all ithe prin-
cipal countries at latest uneven dates is ,726,

Spectator, 10th Sept

We regret to note the death of J. G.,
Whittier, the American Quaker Poet, . whose
life was so strong a testimony to the value of
the old New-En- land system Of upbringing,
now u|nhappily passed away. Born a peasant,
be discovered IN himself a gift Of writing stir
ring rhyme, and through a long life he devoted
it to the cause Of the oppressed. His songs
attracted his countrymen, and for thirty years
be poured them forth continuously, rousing
the North first against the spread, aud af-
forwards against the existence, Of slavery.
He did good and successful work for his
great cause when it was dangerous to do it,
and we hold him in all honour, though we
cannot admit that he was a poet even Of the
second rank. He rose to that level, perhaps,
in "Sn0w-bound,' which Is, i'll passages,
not far beneath the quieter passages of Scott;
but most of his work should be ranked with
that of Ebenezer Elliott, the "COrn-Law
Rhymer." 1t is too occasional for true poe
try, and, except in a few fierce lines scattered
through his masses of versiication, does not
strike deep enough to live. And yet we
hesitate to say it, for there was living fire IN
Whittier, though it was the fire of the
reused preacher rather than of the poet.
1t is forty years since the writer first read
"Cassandra Southwick," but he can repeat
most of it still and, reading it again to-day,
felt once more the old thrill. Peace be with
the strong old Puritan, who knew no object
equal to the staying of oppression, and, ii he
saw it, never paused In fear.

NEW YORK LETTER.

Editor Louisiana Planter: In our last
letter we noted the beginning of the "cholera
scare" in this city and country, and it's in
Auence upon the sugar trade. The "oholera"
may be still spoken of as a Scare although
it is drawing It's terrible arms so much more
CLOSELY about us that another week we may
not be limited to It's mentlon IN the same way.
About a year ago we received letters from
friends in Syria full of alarm and despair
over the ravages of this dread disease IN thel:
midst. but without having the least suspl clon
that in due course of time We might be called
on to pass through the same experiences.
But now we have the cholera at our imme-
date gates knocking for admission, anu pos

ricade against it's entrance, whlle IN the Ietter

scourge without harm, though In daily contact

again but az vet nothing serious: nothing

from Russia and parts about the Caspian Sea"
Wa hone the sad story may not have to be
added from the United States, but it seems
to us now more than probable that they will,
Vessels, passengers and cargoeS cannot be
kent at quarantine forever, and sooner than
we now think a single case may appear III
the land and a single case may mean a hun

the scourgs has run it's course. Yesterday the
crisis began in our opinion, when several
steamers with cargoes from injected ports,
were released at quarantine and began landing
their merchandise. Bales of good can nos
speak or shew their infection like passengers,
but are none the less dangerous. The COM
ing week will be critical.
Some large business houses manufacturing
raw material of foreign countries aud employ

up buildings as private hospitals, with physl-

possibilities.
These may not be needed, but it shows

exist for the reception OF homeWard pound

A Wonderful Test.

Mrs. DR.. Rice, the celebrated trance
medium of London, England, is together
with her husband, stopping at the Hotel
Maverick.
The Doctor, while visiting this Office,
gave some very remarkable tests, among
which was one new to this part of the
country and which will be of interest TO
every SpirituaiSt and others of this city
as il shows in a remarkable degree TO
what an extent the phenomenal can be
carried. The test above mentioned is as
follows:
A number of names, both of live and
dead persons, are written on several
pieces of paper, folded securely and
separately and mixed up together. The
medium then proceeded TO pick them up
one at a time and without looking az
them or unfolding them, called them off,
their names, whether living or dead.
The medium tells names Of living or
dead friends, gives advice on all matters
of life. Her advertisement will be found
in another column.

Winter and Bloom.

SHARON, Pa, March 81 AT the
home of Mr.. Samuel Klepper may be
witnessed one of the curiosities of
nature in the shape of cherry tree
i'm full bloom. With the snow several
inches deep on the ground, this may
sound strange to the average reader,
but 1t Is true. Four or five weeks
ago Mr.. Klepper cut limb from q
tree in his yard for trailing vine
which he was cuItivsting in q com
mon flower pot. The branch was
showed in the earth and no more at
tention was paid to it until q few
days ago, when to the astonishment
of the family the supposed dead stick
began to bud, and finally to blossom
as beautifully as the rest of the trees
will in two months. The little tree
is a vegetable curiosity lin the neigh
borhood.

He Told a Falsehood.

CHICAGO, March 21.-Au under
vest containing thirteen thousand
dollars in cash and papers valued at
twice that amount, was left in the
Turkish bath rooms at the Palmer
house by Ex-senator Thomas Fl
Bowen, of Denver, last evening. 1t
was found half an hour later in the
dressing room the ex senator had occu-
pied, by Watson, q colored attendant,
who at once carried iJ to Clerk Cum
bingham Subsequently Senator
Bowen was seen by a reporter and
questioned regarding his loss. "Why
there is not word of truth
in the story" he exclaimed
"I'm not such tool as to carry that
amount of money and valuables
around with me. 1t is absurd and
ridiculous, and / do not see'-,
he did not finish the SEN
tence. AS he was talking,
ne had placed his hand underneath
his vest. The undervest was gone.
"Hold on ~ he cried out eXcitedly,
"who told you that? Ring for a por-
ter. Heavens and earth, where is
nv hat? Come with me down TO the
Office, quick Did you say it was at
the Officer" The senator from Colo
RADIO went down stairs, four steps at a
Jump, and in two minutes he rushed
up 10 Clerk Cunningham, and in a
nervous voice asked: SIS my vest
here? Have you my money :?
Did any one leave it here?" Clerk
Cunningham looked up with pro.
voking emile and asked: "What is it
you wish?" This was too much for
the Colorado senator: 'Confound
you, Is my money here? Come,
now don't tool with me? Where is it?
quick!" "You told me a while ago
that you had lost nothing"
continued the clerk. II have
lost thirteen thousand in CASH."
he explained, ''and papers l would
not tske twice that amount for" In
the bath rooms they learned that Wat
sou had gone home. He lived on Seven
teenth street and there q messenger
was dispatched In a carriage. Mean
time Senator Bowen was in state OF
nervous excitement. He had purchas
ed tickets and sleeper accommodations
for Denver, for himself and wife, and
his train was to leave in less than an
hour. Before the attendant came, the
manager of bath rooms walked In. He
identified the ex senator as the man
who left the vest and it was given to
him. He left good sized bill for the
attendant who found the vest, and
getting ito carriage was driven with
mis- wife to Rock Island depot.

government, while unwilling to pre-.

tacitly understood, through personal
assurances from Pauncefote, that in
case the United States makes arrests

State National bank of Logansport

missioners, demanding reduction in
the assessment of the banks stock,
claiming that the taxes OF the bank
were increased under the new Indiana
