discovered on this worthless land. He
was rich again, richer than before.
He picked up at once. He quit the hag-
gard, despairing sort of dissipation and
was seen about his clubs and his old
haunts in the swell cafes and restaurants.
He picked up all his old college friends
whom he had rather dropped when it be-
came impossible for him to hold up his end
OF the string, and soon he was going the
old gait in Philadelphia.
. This brings US down to the last year or
so, down to the Paresis club of Philadel-
phia, of which he is a member. 1t may
have been that it was one of the theories
OF that amazing organization that paresis
is disease which never touches college
men. There are doctors who insist that
it almost never attacks men who have
been properly educated early in life, but
only assaults those who have educated
themselves in the school of experience,
and with brains poorly organized have
risen to fame or Importance to the strain
of which their brains are unequal. Lit
tie is known about the Paresis club ex-
cept that it's members were rich and each
one spent his time in defying that partic-
ular disease
Well, the end has come for Ned Peace
One of his friends went out to see him in
West Philadelphia month ago and saw
only shadow of the strong, clear eyed,
clear headed youth of 10 years ago.
They say it is only a question Of short
tire before the most famous of Princeton g
athletic sports will pass into the last stages
of that disease from which there is only
one relief
And Jansen was in Delmonico's dining
Sunday night She was looking as young
and fresh as ever, and her laugh was just
as gay and her eyes just as bright as when
she sang and kicked herself into the big
heart of the big Princeton boy. A man
with black pointed beard was with her
and looked exceedingly proud and happy.
Who would have the courage to disturb
the combination of a bright smile and q
! new bonnet and a man with black point
ed beard with the picture of darkened
room, a wasted frame and a ruined mind
down in West Philadelphia?

For the last 10 years every college man

In the fall of 1879 that he came up to
Princeton, huge strapping youth, from
one of the ''prep' schools, says the New
York World. He had fortune in his own
right and an easy going guardian. He
was handsome and strong and young. He
had clear, bright eyes and a clear, healthy
skin with lot of color in it. And his
hand was as steady as rock, and he had
never known what it was to be sick or out
Of condition in his life.
The whole class admired him before the
first three months were done, and through
his strength and skill on the football field
he had begun to get college reputation.
Then he was SO clever and good humored,

and he was always throwing it about By

The Plague In China.

Between the war with Japan and the
terrible epidemic which is devastating
her borders China appears to be in a fair
way to get rid of few hundred thou
sand Of her surplus population. In Cam
ton alone nearly 100, 900 persons have
died from the plague since March /. In
Hongkong, with population of 200,-
900, the disease appeared in March. By
the 1st of June the deaths had reached
over so day. The mortality there is
something like 10, 900. These are only
: two of the Chinese cities. They are the
ones in which the disease has been most
severe, but beyond doubt it has ragged
with fury in dozens of places where no
death list was kept. The attempt has
been made by the Chinese to conceal the
full extent Of the ravages.
The disease is Identical with the
black or great plague of London in 1865.
London learned lesson from that aw-
full chapter in its history which never
needed to be repeated. Itwas the lesson
in sanitation that it seems impossible
for oriental countries to comprehend.
The black plague is characterized by
fever. It is called bubonic fever because
of the buboes or swellings that appear
in the large glands where there is fric-
tion caused by parts of the body rubbing
together. These glands finally break
like an ulcer: Black spots appear over
the body. For this reason the disease is
called the black plague. So fatal is it
that 80 per cent of those attacked die.
It is disease Of filth and sin, like most
terrible epidemics. With fresh air,
cleanliness and decency and purity of
thought and living all the great conta-
gions that sweep away mankind would
disappear.
Hongkong is really British town
more disgrace to the authorities for let
ting the plague get such hold there.
1t is situated on an island of the same
name in the mouth of the Canton river.
The population, while largely Chinese,
is made up of a mixture of all the na-
tions of the earth, and it is exactly
among such conglomerations of peoples
that depravity and epidemic disease do
their worst. One Of the suburbs of
Hongkong, called Tai Ping Shan, cov-
cred several hundred acres. It's popula-
tion made their living by keeping gam
bling dens, opium joints and centers Of
devilishness of all kinds. Here the
| plague struck and ragged like million
| devouring demons. The authorities Of
| Hongkong gave the order that the build
ings in Tai Ping Shan should be burned
to the ground. It was done and the un-
savory district cleaned out

The popular Japanese cry is said to
be, "We'll rally round the mikado.'' Of
course one does not know the Jap for
"rally round;'' but, unless it is very
different from the English of it, it will
not make any sort of rhythm with ''mi-
kado." The Japs could not sing it to
our tune Of "Rally Round the Flag''
and give their emperor 8 name it's proper
accent on the second syllable. They
would have to sing, ''We'n rally round

For awhile, just how long no man
can tell, 1879 passengers will have it
to say that they came across the Allan
tic in the quickest time ever made by
any steamer. It has been prophesied for
some years that many people now liv-
ing would see the ocean crossed in four
days. The Cunard steamer Campania's
time-5 days, 9 hours and ~ minutes
looks as if the prophecy would come
true sooner even than the seers expect
ed. The Campania averaged 515 miles
day. The banner for the fastest ship
has now gone from the American line
to the Cunard ine It is interesting to
note how the steamers seem to be grad
ually cutting down the difference in
time between them and the railroads.

My mother had started to put me in

across the Atlantic on sailing vessel.
We were 81 days out, and when off the
coast of Newfoundland suddenly found
ourselves befOgged and hemmed in by ice
bergs. For 80 hours the ship drifted help
lessly, and every moment we expected to
be ground between the icebergs that we
knew were towering above us, but which
we could not see. Women were on their
knees crying and praying, and can dis
tlnctly recollect the feeling Of relief when
the fog lifted and we had an unobstructed
sea before us.

The enthusiasm which has burst into
flame in Japan at the outbreak of wa
is surprising. The passionate loyalty Of
the Japanese for their emperor shows
that his progressive course is appreciat-
ed by bis people. The czar Of Russia
might take lesson from the emperor of
Japan which would be to disadvantage.
Of his own free will Mutsu-Hito gave
his people parliament and constitu-
tion. Russia calls herself a civilized
country, yet not all the pressure brought
to bear by their subjects for century
has been able to make the czars grant
constitution and parliament to the
great northern empire. Japan is more
civilized than Russia. The spirit of her
progressive and ambitious people is
shown in the way they responded to the
emperor's call for loan.

ordinary items of news must be con-
structed in accordance with the "posi-

has to omit part of the truth or add

it is only necessary to know what the

the policy Of the paper is fixed by and
guided through the bank account of the

monest Of expressions among the frater-
nifty. There were few exceptions to
the general rule among metropolitan

The Chicago Times was absolutely fair
from the start. It told the truth
without fear or favor, and it's editorial
treatment of the subject took the side of
Justice and genuine law and order. It did
not deal in buncombe about 'anarchistic
