Her Crew Drowned.
CHICAGO, May 15.-Four lives were
lost in Lake Michigan, off Lake Bluff,
Saturday, apparently through the negli-
gence OF people on shore. a lady walk
ing on the beach Friday afternoon saw a
small sailing vessel some distance out
flying signals of distress. Through a
glass she could see four men on board.
She reported the matter to laborers at
a camp-meeting grounds, but they laughed
at the story. For some unaccountable
reason nobody thought anything of the
matter until Saturday afternoon, when
some boys who had been watching the
craft from shore reported that they saw it
give lurch. and everything disappeared
but the topmast. Then interest was taken
in the matter, and some men went out in
a boat. They found the body of John
Larsen lashed to the mast, but the others
had floated away. Investigation revealed
the fact that Larsen, Charles Lendberg,
Peter Johnson and John Swanson started
from Waukegan for Chicago Friday
morning, intending to sell their yacht
when they reached here. The craft was
in bad condition, and became unman-
ageable in the high wind, and the unfor-
tunate men found graves in the lake.

BERLIN, May 15.-The Wolff News
Agency asserts, on semi-official author
ity, that the reinforcement of French.
troops stationed on the eastern frontier
of France is proceeding with method and
regularity. The French Government. ac-
cording to the same authority, is like
wise extending snd strengthening its
military lines adjoining the German
frontier, planning with view to their
prompt and effective contraction. The
barracks at the intrenched camps have
been greatly enlarged. At Epinal two
new barracks have been built and an ad-
dition made to the garrison. On the
same semi-otficial authority it is stated
that men are at work night and day lay
ing double lines of rails on the line of the
Paris and Nancy Railway, between
Blesme and Revigny, in order to hasten
the mobilization of French troops.
The Frankfort ZeituRg, commenting
upon the foregoing and other official
news dispatches of a similar character,
states that the reports are of kind OBJ
viously intended to influence the electors
in the coming elections for the Reichstag
in favor of candidates who support the

Many parents think it is better that
children should have some diseases
while young, and carelessly permit
them to pick up whatever is going in
the way of measles or whooping cough,
but all the children affected do not live
through these diseases and each one is
a focus of infection to many Others On
the whole. it would be safer and better
to prevent their spread, and if there
could be a universal effort in this direc-
ton there would be a tremendous les
sening of infantile mortality. 1t can
hardly be true that a person makes a
better adult for having had all the dis
cases of childhood, and in fact, many
an adult carries about with him defect
of some sort, often in sight or hearing,
as result of scarlet fever or measles. -
