He WRa n Plum Der.

From the Louisville Courier Journal
THE plumber joke is worked to death,
but will tell you one anyhow, just because
it is true" began friend yesterday. THE
young woman that figures in the story lives
on Broadway near Floyd street. She was
sprinkling the street this morning and used
a hose that was sadly in need Of repair. An
itinerant plumber came along with kit of
tools slung over his shoulder. He asked the
young woman If she wanted the hose fixed.
What will you charge? she answered.
THE man looked at the hose critically and
then said he would repair 1t for Is cents
This was contrary to all traditions relating
to plumbers prices, the young woman
told the man she did not believe he was
what he represented himself to be-
Still she said, go ahead and fix the
hose
The man took out his tools and soon had
the hose nearly as good as new. The miss
gave the man Is cents. He shook his head
and said he wanted 10.
Why said the young woman, in sur
prise you said you would do the work for
Is cents
Yes. l know he returned but there
was more work than I thought
Well, | was afraid you wasn't plumber
when you first came up, but now / know
you are and am willing to give you a GER
tificata to that effect was what the young
woman said when she gave the iran his
pay"

Made Havoc In the Car.

From the New York Herald
One Of the peculiar trlfes Of metropolitan
travel In connection with the elevated road
is the havoc Of comfort a single Individual
can make by remaining In his seat till the
train stops ard then plunging for the door
through the crowd. / doubt whether gen.
eral public opinion of such a man can be
adequately measured in the ordinary Ian
guage of polite life-certainly not the opin-
ion of men and women who daily and hour
ly have their toes trodden on and ribs frac-
tured or breath knocked out of them by
the operation. The performance is not a
premeditated one. as a rule. but Is due to
carelessness. A man gets buried in a news
paper or absorbed in conversation when
he suddenly discovers that the train Is at
his station. Then he jumps up and makes
a break for the door through score or SO
of innocent and unsuspecting passengers
who are standing. Those of the latter who
are lucky enough to be holding to straps
are fortunate now, for they can maintain
their feet, but the other people are plough
ed down right and left and turned over
into the laps of the stters. The cause of
all this may get out all right but If looks
and silent objurgations could take physical
effect he would have to be carried away
from that station in an ambulance.
1t is but fair to say that these offenders
are usually-almost excusively-men. Nor
could make the small reservation but for
an episode that came under my own eyes
recently. She was small, wry. nervous
woman, with an armful of parcels and this
vas the crowded o'clock Harlem train.
She sat at the extreme end Of the last car
largely filled with the opposite sex. She
was gazing vacantly out Of the window,
possibly figuring up the days purchases
when the guard at the other end muir
INJURED something.
The woman jumped as If she was shot
and darted for the trent There were two
gentlemen standing balanced on canes and
talking of the state of the markets, and
she went through this first obstruction like
a creased pig, upsetting about $40 pounds
as easily If she weighed 800 instead of
about ninety. She went through the stand
ing crowd as the destructive cyclone goes
through worm fence. scattering men and
women Unfortunately. Behind her was
q wake of packages and disordered linen
and rumpled dresses and sore toes and
soured tempers. When she reached the
door the guard slammed the gate, saying
that she would have to ride to the next
station. which seemed to please the people
awfully

snappishly, "for 1t amt my station, and

THE BLACK PLAGUE.
Latest Advices of the Epidemic I'm
China.

China.
The steamer Belgic arrived al San Fran
cisco yesterday with fuller details of the
black plague now raging in Hons Kong.
When the vessel cleared the scare over
the first disclosures of the epidemic's pro-
gress had subsidized considerably and it was
vainly hoped the disease would soon be
stamped out. The mortality statistics re-
vealed the terrible character of the dis
ease.
Despite the operations of the sanitary
staff and the police. assisted by the med
ical men of the army, and soldiers from
Sharpshire regiment about five hundred
new cases had been reported within a week
and there had been 100 deaths To cap
the climax an outbreak of smallpox was
dreaded. For day or two the people
thought the epidemic was losing Its viru-
lence.
Another favorable indication appeared
to be the cooperation of the Chinese. who
were said to be assisting in the detection
OF cases and the removal of patients to
the hospitals. The rate of mortality drop
ped temporarily. The sanitary authorities
gained encouragement, and while the rain
water washed out some house drainage the
MIGRANTS were scattered about and injected
houses were cleaned and whitewashed.
The prevalence of the disease created
good deal of alarm in the different ship
ping quarters in communica ton with the
port. SaigLon and the other ports of the
French colonies quarantined all vessels
arriving from Hong Kong.
Singapore followed suit and the aspect
for the shipping interests was becoming
serious. The plague increased in virulence
and the discovery of greater number of
cases aroused the enmity of the Chinese
who had for short time appeared will
Ing to cooperate with the authorities on
bringing to light all known cases. At
tempts were made to evade the inspection.
Sick persons We're removed from house
to house at the approach of the police.
Houses were barricaded and the officers
were stoned by the Infatuated Chinese.
News from Canton, where the plague
started, states that the death rate now
averages 100 a day. During March and
April they averaged five hundred daily.
Although the fact that black death was
raging in Canton became known only
about month ago. II appears that the
disease started as long ago as last Feb
