New YORK. Feb. 13.-The London
correspondent of the World cables the
Following: "a tiny shadow, foretelling
the great plague that is to be, has
fallen across the land Just now it is
no bigger than a mans hand, but it is
sure to grow, daily, steadily, inevita-
bly,, until it has shrouded all the con-
tinent in its dead black Not in one
place has the attack been made, but,
as If by given signal in three widely
different countries the onslaught of the
cholera has begun
From far-away st. Petersburg comes
the news, wholly unexpected, of course,
that ten persons have died of cholera
with the cessation of the frost. From
Marseilles, under the warm sun of the
Riviera, the plague has all the added
horror OF newnesr and the people are
trying hard to cover up the dead to
quiet the fears of the living, for no hint
OF this must come to spoil the season of
pleasure that this month brings there.
But, worst of all, as directly affecting
America, is the news from Hamburg.
In the suburb of Altoona. a prisoner in
jail has just died, and five other cases
are being closely watched. The port of
Hamburg itself has not been allowed to
escape. On board the steamers Echo
and Australia four sailors were stricken
with the disease.
The weather is moderating all over
the continent and the warm sunshine
is kissing back to life the cholera germs.
So this week promises to show wider
spread of the great plague. Meanwhile
Vienna is sending invitations to all ma
tions to an international health con-
gress, to formulate some plan for fight
ing the common foe, and in England,
Southampton is begging parliament to
vote money to keep up rigid quaran-
tine.
MARsE1LLEs, Feb. 18-Between six
o'clock Saturday night and o'clock
Sunday afternoon eight persons died of
the choleraic epidemic, and several
fresh cases were taken to the hospital.
Two patients were discharged as cured.
The Swedish consul has refused to issue
clean bills of health to vessels sailing
for Swedish ports. A five days quar-
antine has been established by the
Greek government for all arrivals from

Riot at a Christeninv

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13.-At 263s Choteau
avenue Sunday night there was a cele-
bration and christening. About 1o3o
all present became involved in a riot.
Men, women and children participated,
and every conceivable weapon was used.
In a few minutes the place looked like
slaughter house, the walls, floor and
even the ceiling being covered with
blood A wagon load of police finally
succeeded in quelling the disturbance.
Six of those involved were carried to
the dispensary, and their injuries may
prove fatal

Miss Anthony refers TO the favorable stand
for women taken by the Omaha convention,
to Governor Flowers recommendation that
women be represented in the constitutional
convention. Twenty FIVE years ago a Con-
gregational church in Illinois was rent
in twain because a woman would
pray In meeting. Now here Is Mrs.
Eastman regularly ordained by that body.
Women were elected in the same manner
rs men alternate delegates to the Mime
apolls convention. and when they came into
the convention the men all rose 10 their
feet and cheered. The regular delegate
tried to have the alternate take his seat
Oregon delegates, too, elected two
women alternates. Women voted for
President in Wyoming, and a Democratic
committee in the House listened for
the first time to what we had 10 say. In
thirty-three States there are auxiliary So
ceties to the national organizations, and
twenty-eight States were represented by

One morning | woke up and found that

l could take advantage of. ! put them on.
and then bundled all my others up and
gave them into the bellboy's hands, with in
strnctions that they must be ready for me
the following morning.
That day received telegram from my
firm which made it necessary for me to
take the early train the next morning for
Ogden. l again instructed the bellboy. and
he promised my clothes would be returned
TO me al the time specified.
That evening 1t began to rain and l got
soaking wet. That, however. did not worry
me, because / knew everything would be
all right the next morning.
The next morning came. but IL brought
no clothes. Train time arrived, and still
my laundry was missing. Ny other bag
gage was checked, and | hao no alternative
but to take the train and go on TO Ogden in
the wet clothing of the evening before.

sive, so were the kilograms which | sent,

At last | concluded the package had been
either lost or stolen and ceased to worry

ggge-ro0m Ia the hotel thoroughly over

Every trunk and package was turned over
and examined until they reached pile Of
trunks belonging TO a stranded theatrical
company, which were being held for the
hotel bill.
Under the lowest trunk found my long
lost package OF laundry. crushed almost out
of shape.
An examination OF the hotel books proved
that these trunks had been seized for board
and piled up IN the pOrter's room on the
very morning that my laundry arrived. the
year before. The porter probably had lost
his head during the confusion of placing
the trunks in the baggHg e-room, and my
package was thrown in with them and COW

DRUMMERS' TALES OF HOTELS.
Some Very Odd Experiences.

| wished to pay ii additional attention some
time later In the night.

/ opened my heart and asked the landlord
to have a drink with me. From the taste OF
the LIQUOR il must have been veritable
'sheepherders' delight" because it burned
all the way down and left lasting impress
sion.
then wrapped myself up and lay down
before the fire, after bidding mine host good
night several times. He did not seem to
appreciate even then that / was going 10
get little sleep, and 1t seemed TO me that
he was afraid to go TO bed for fear l would
steal him.

into the next room. and after time the
creaking of the bed proved that he was

TOO MUCH WATER.
Growers Want Less Rain
and Cheaper Rates.
They Are Praying to Sacramento for
the Latter and to Heaven
for the Former.
The florists and nurserymen are crying:

The florists and nurserymen are crying:
TOO much rain"
NO" said Mr.. Sproule to THE CALL
man yesterday, "the superabundance of
rain won't interfere with the product OF
the nur series. but it will reduce the profits
of the nurserymon.
This Is the season we are transplapting
and sowing, and the rain makes it twice as
expensive. A little rain Is a very good
thing for everybody, the nurseTymen in
cluded. but too much rain, as we are having
now, makes the ground so heavy that often
it takes three or four times the amount of
work it ought to take in digging up the
plants and resetting them"
And other people are crying: TOO much
rain" The fruit-growers do not like 1t at
all. The grain men are complaining loudly.
This superabundance of water on the
ground is rotting the grain and drowning
out our seed" they say.
And the weather prophet gives them no
hope of immediate relief. Storm signals
are still flying and occasional rains" are
the prevailing predictions
At Menlo Park many acres Of sweet peas
have just been sown. and now the rains
are preventing the growth OF the seed.
What Is wanted here as elsewhere is more
sunshine and less water.
"Along the San JOAQUIN and the Sacra-
mento rivers, near their mouths, hundreds
Of acres OF arabic land are under water"
said a q Antioch farmer yesterday.
This is interfering sadly with the early
planting. Most OF The submerged lands are
sOwn with wheat when dry. Now we have
begun to think they never will be dry
again.
There has been too much rain this win
ter for the farmers at all events. No:
hardly think ii will interfere with the total
output of the State this year, which all
along has promised to greatly exceed that
Of any previous year, but it will 5ave the
effect Of retardDg things. This means
more work and less profits However. the
farmers expect TO get even on the bad
weather this year little bit by the lower
freight rates which are promised. We are
all looking toward Sacramento and PRAYING
that the proposed local-distance freight
schedule and classification will become
law soon.
EI"Well be mighty disappointed If 1t does
not become law. We're about tired of
paying over ali our profits to the railroad"
The grape and wine men are likewise
complaining about the excessive rainfall.
And they are also looking forward with
great deal Of hopefulness and anxiety to
the actions of the Legislature concerning
that local distance freight schedule and
classification sheet.
The men who get their living from the
earth in this State want just three things
and they are not overly bashfnl about let
ting folks know it, especially as regards the
first two.
They want the Railroad Commission re-
tired. more equitable local freight rates
established by law, and les aqueous precipi-
tatiOn.

THEY REALLY DO WORK.
Corporation Laborers' Rapid Move
ments Arouse Admiration.

hhCntS AfOuSC
The extremely rapid work Of gang OF
three corporation laborers repairing the
roadbed on Third street, near the corner of
Harrison, has aroused the admiration of the
taxpayers OF that district.
One Of the property-hoders. who is one
of the most ardent admirers. says that a
photograph should be taken of them just for
a record OF the rapid movements OF a cor
poratlon laborer. He adds that the photo
graph could be taken In a fog aud without
the aid Of flashight or the instantaneous
fandangles so much used now. The picture
would not be blurred by the subjects NOV
Ing and ii would look we'll in frame in the
superintendent of Streets Office
For four days that gang of three men,
who have fourth man with them whom
they call boss" said butcher In the
vicinity, have been endeavoring to repair
strip OF the pavement between the outer
streetcar rail and the center on one side Of
the street only. So far fresh sand is scat
tered along for about fifty yards and tie
general supposition is that the stones have
been evened up under it"
The butcher further stated that al one
time he saw the men pry out four or five
stones that were lower than the others, put
few shovelfuls of SAND In the hole and
place the stones back in position. OF
course they were several hours in doing it.
and after they got through they disappeared
behind tie swinging screens that answer
for door in corner building, and when
they came out about an hour later they were
each smoking a cigar. That finished the
days work and they went home
Those men may seem to be working
pretty slowly just now" said halter, who
has some knowledge of corporation affairs,
'Dut if you had seen those fellows working
previous TO November s you would under
stand all about the job. What is the use OF
getting mixed up In politics if there Is moth
ing in IL. That fresh sand out there in the
street was spread by them, and that Is suffi-
cient evidence that those three men and the
boss are doing something"
