Frank Mitchell. Of Waterbury, Conn,
concluded few years ago that life was not
worth living, and resolved not to be
bothered with himself any longer. He
chose the gas route to the unknown world.
Locking himself in his room ct his board
ing house he stopped every crack through
which air could enter or gas escape, then
turned on the gas and stretched himself on
the bed. He expected to wake up in
strange place. But he didn't When he
opened his eyes he was in the same world
and the same room, and he had enjoyed a
delightful eight-hour snooze, despite the
fact that he had inhaled nothing but gas
during the whole of the night. The land
lady, however, was furious because Of the
waste of gas, and fired him out OF her
house. He then went to hotel and tried
again to asphyxiate himself, with like re-
suit, He was gas proof. Realizing this he
has about concluded that it would be jolly
idea for him to live on as a dime museum
freak. breathing gas by the hour at SO

The Estate Bank of Hawaii"

From the Richmond Dispatch (Dem.).
The Hawaii question has come to the assist
ance OF the opponents of the repeal of the 10
per cent tax on the issues of state banks. 1t
tells US what may result from tampering with
the national. currency. If any complications
snail arise which threaten or call for hostile de-
monstrations on the part of the United States
the government may be forced TO sell few
hundred millions of bonds. When this is done
there will be no longer even a plausible pretext
for chaTtering state banks of issue. More; be
will be a reckless defender of the old independ-
ent state bank system who shall find it in his
heart 10 contend that the notes OF the banks of
the state of Hawaii will after the annexation OF
u az state to the United States, be- better than
national bank notes and Rreenbacks because
they won't circulate away from home! Yes,
the model state bank will be the Bank of Homo
lulu, whose notes robOdy elsewhere in tae
United States will be will TO receive as cur
rency.

National Adjunct to Local Quarantine.
The quarantine bill, as amended by the
Senate and concurred In by the House, is
not the kind Of a measure the friends Of
national quarantine desired 1t does not go
far enough. 1t makes the marine hospital
service an adjunct to state quarantine serv-
ice only, instead of reversing their order of
precedence, and leaves open ample room
for conflict of authority. 1t gives the ma
tional quarantine officials the power
to establish quarantine at any place
where state or municipal quarantine
does not exist. and to "amplify and enforce
greater restrictions, if deemed necessary,
at any point where there is state or mu-
nIcipal quarantine" And there will come
the friction. The regulations and restrictions
imposed by the local authorities may, to
them seem sufficient, but another view may
be taken by the federal authorities 1t
would have been better to put the quaran-
tine service OF the whole country directly
under control of the general government,
and let the local governments do the sup
plemsnting."
There is one provision Of the bill, how
ever, that gives it value. 1t is that one
which provides for the inspection and de-
tention abroad of vessels intending to sail
from infected ports to this country, and the
proper attention to vessels from suspected
or infected ports after their arrival here.
Last summer the need of such provisions
was felt, when ship after ship sailed from
cholera-stricken Hamburg and this country
could do nothing in the matter until they
had reached American harbors, with pesti-
lence aboard. Under the new law that kind
OF thing will be done away with; that is,
provided an appropriation Ia made for car
rying the law into effect. For,
although the bill has been passed
and will be signed by the President, it does
not carry an appropriation of q single dol
lar and will become a dead letter If an ap-
preparation is not obtained. One million
dollars is the amount estimated to be nee
essary. And it is understood that Mr..
Holman will antagonize the appropriation.
The clause permitting the President to
prohibit immigration from any country in
which a contagious disease prevails was
retained in the bill, and is the only part of
it that is not dependent upon an appro~
priation.

The investigation Of the american end"
Of the Panama scandal is bringing out some
interesting facts Unfortunately, however,
they make things look dark for ex-Seoretary
Richard w. Thompson, who resigned from
the cabinet to take charge of Panama's in
terests in this country. An examination Of
a book kept by Mr.. Colne, formerly secre-
tary Of the American committee, showed
eatries under Mr.. Thompson's name as fol-

The sensational trial in New York Of q
detective for DR.. Parkhurst's society for the
suppression of vice, who was accused Of
blackrnaiIing the keeper Of a questionable
resort, ended in conviction. The case was
looked on in certain quarters as fight be-
tween Tammsny and the preacher. but the
evidence brought out during the trial
showed that it was merely an ordinary
criminal prosecution, in which the right
man had been arrested and brought TO
Justice.

A B!llion-Dollar Congress.
From the PhiIadelDhio Ledger fTnd.,

fTom INC PhtEddeIohld Ledger lInd,h
The Fifty-second congress is to be more Of a
bilhon-dollGr congress than the Fifty-first, in
spite of Mr.. Holman's economies It is not al
together the fault of the democrats that this is
the case Many of the large expenditures, es-
pecially for pensions. were forced upon them by
legislation Of the Fifty-first congress; besides
that there is naturally an increase of expenses
due to the growth of the country. We have
reached billicn-dollar basis apparently and
cannot keep expenditures much below that
figure as long pension expenditures exceed
Sl60, O00,0Q per Rnnum.

A New York preacher is responsible for a
novel reason for the suicide OF a member Of
his congregation. The suicide was young
lady and the general opinion was that a love
affair had unsettled her brain. This, the
preacher said, was all wrong; that the girl
really was ''too advanced" to live; that her
desire to die was born Of great intellectual
doubt. She had read all Of the leading
authors on the value of human life and the
great beyond and she desired to conduct a
personal investigation of the truth Of their
theories. Despite this explanation the popu-
lar verdict will be, crazy"

A SMALLPOX SCARE
Compulsory Vaccination
at North Adams.
MORE SUSPECTED CASES.
Physicians Admit That the Aspect
Looks Rather Grave.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, April l5.-Bridget
Bakey, Is yea;s old, has the smallpox, and
has reached the end OF the second stage
DIR. Kane, who attends the girl, said that
1t was pronounced case Of smallpox.
The girl was taken to the pesthouse, about
one and half miles from the town, and
the whole family, consisting of 10 persons,
was taken there with her. One of hei
sisters, who has been exposed, had chill
yesterday, and 1t is probable she has con-
tracted the disease Another girl who
worked In the Carey rag shop In the same
room with the Bakey girl showed marked
tymptoms Of the disease yesterday, and 1t
b the opinion of the doctors that she
IL Coming Down with IL.
The development of these cases has
thrown North Adams into fever Of ex.
element. Bridget Bakey's father takes
care Of the patient. He is Frenchman
and does not seem to fear the disease at all
The whole family has been yaccinated
aud the board Of health has issued orders
to have all the schoolchildren and all the
workpeople In the mills vaccinated, and
the doctors have been kept busy all day
attending to It, The schools will not be
closed unless there are further develop
ments of the disease.
A fence ~ feet high, 20 feet from the
pesthouse, has been built to keep people
away. Even with this precaution a mum
bsr of people have
Attempted to Visit the House.
None of the liverymen could be induced
to take the patient and family to the pest
honse until warrant was issued by the
board of health demanding teams for the
purpose. The hacks that took the patients
have either been burned or taken away
from the stables and withdrawn from use.
The girls who are at work in the Carey
rag shop have become so alarmed over the
matter that they have practically refused
to handle the foreign rags. Very little
will be done in the rag department until
the suspected case of today develops.
Should it prove to be smallpox, it will be
difficult to get the girls to work in that de-
partment for some time to come.
The Pest House
has been put in as good condition as posi-
BILE, as this is the first case of contagious dis
ease there for 10 years. More cases can be
accommodated there II it becomes neces-
sary.
Many of the prominent men, like f. b.
Tinker, Congressman Wright and Post
master Darby, claim that there is no occa.
sion for alarm, but several of the pbysi-
clans and a number of citizens consider
that the case has many grave aspects, ow-
ing to the fact that the disease existed for
q week before it was discovered, and that
many people have been exposed to it.
As soon as the vaccination ordered by
the board of health is completed, house
TO house visitation will be made, and all
unvaccinated persons will be compelled to
submit to 1t.
