OVER 10000 CASES.
Influenza Attacked the Emperor, and
Is Playing Havoc I'm Berlin,

The milder weather has favored the spread
OF influenza in Germany. Instead OF an
abatement, big increase in the number Of
eases is reported in every quarter of Berlin.
According to the local sanitary bureau statis-
ties three-quarters OF all the sickness in the
city is due to influenza.
The epidemic has apparently taken the
firmest hold of the well-to- do classes. Few
houses in the west, southwest and northwest
districts have escaped. The number of
deaths from influenza and its complications
within week reached several hundreds. In
the Reichstag the usual attendance has
dropped to about 40. Some $50 members are
either down or convalescing.
The total number of cases in Berlin is esti-
mated at from thirty to forty thousand.
Among the patients are two vice presidents
of the Reichstag. Baron Won Buol Barenburg
and Herr Buerklin, Admiral Won Goltz, Prince
Won Uiest Lieut.. Gen. Spitz, Prince Caro-
lath-Beuthen and numerous court officials
1t has leaked out that Emperor william had

MISS ANNA GOULD.
She Has Been a Remarkable Young
Lady For Affairs of the Heart.

Miss Anna Gould needs no Introduction to
the public. The young lady who has caused
such universal gossiping, and has played
her farewell engagement, is not at all re-
markable. She is twenty-one years old,
rather tall and slender, with good carriage
and lots of style. She has her fathers brown
eyes and inky black hair, and the dull, white
complexion that made the great llnan-
cier so conspicuous She has rather bright,
girlish manner and is very natural and un-
assuming in her bearing, her crowded chap
ters of romance not seeming in the least to
have spoilt her. She was educated in Boston.
Since Miss Anna left school she has lived in
a sort of whlrl, and has got more out Of life
would in five. She certainly has been en-
gagged more times in that perod than the

The influenza is increasing in violence In

An Industrial School for Girls.
TO the Editor of the Herald.

TO the Editor of the Herald
A bill will be introduced in our
next Legislature, which we feel sure
will meet with the approval of the
best citizens in our State, who have a
real desire for its prosperity, and it is
the hope of large number of people
that it will be passed.
1t is for the formation of an Indus
trial School for Girls. No bill could
be passed that would confer a greater
benefit on our State In other States
such schools have been crowned with
abundant success, and each year
proves the wisdom of such a step.
There are quite young girls in every
community, who are a constant men,
ace to the boys and girls with whom
they come in contact.
Little girls from seven to seventeen
standing around on corners listening
to coarse jokes. indecent language, If
reverent and profane speech and sub
hitting to undue familiarity of vile
men. Little ones who have no par
ents or such as are wholly incompe-
tent to care for them. Some where
parents have died and the girls in the
care of people who feel no responsible
ity or wholly unfit to care for them.
Young girls of twelve years of age
picked up at midnight, and put in our
lockups. There is not town in our
State where there may not be one or
more such cases, who would be greatly
benefited by such a school and fhe
training it would give. They could
become useful citizens, wives, and
mothers, instead of growing up moral
lepers and mothers of race of crimi-
nails.
Year after year these girls enter the
labyrinth and are destroyed by the
monster of impurity. They are in
the midst OF manifold perverting in
fluences. Everywhere the sacrifice is
going on. How shall we hinder it?
Something must be done to save those
little ones from becoming abandoned
women. Shall we not give them
higher aim in life,
We can in this way advance person.
al and public purity in our State.
The State that takes care of its chill
dren is laying the foundation for good
citizenship.
This work will gladden. homes now
sorrowful and dark. Pure habits
drilled into the forming brain Of child
hood means Christian womanhood
and Christian citizenship.
Line upon line. precept upon pre-
cept craven in the brain and worked
into the warp and wool of character in
its formation period will build strong
foundations for future womafhood.
Many mothers, enshrined in the
safe seclusion Of pare homes, are blind
to the dangers menacing their loved
ones. Blindness to moral danger Of
ten invites calamity. Every parent
of one child or more needs to recog-
nize the fact that certain moral evils
invest the moral atmosphere of child
hood.
The object Of this school is for the
purpose Of protecting and training
just such girls that are mentioned and
to teach them pure habits. to instruct
them in some useful occupation, chief
ly Homework, and make them pure
useful, and honorable citizens, who
will be an honor to any community.
We hope our Legislature will see
the wisdom of this step. and go pre-
pared to do all in their power to make
this success. A WOMAN.

The Humlliating Report of the Strike
Commission.

For the ill-digested mass of matter
which the Commission has Jumped
together at the end of its report as its
recommendations" for the best
means of adjustment" of such contro-
versies in future, the best that can be
said of it is that all that the Commits
sion says has been said many times
and better in countless magazine ar
ticles and in the daily press. That
any recommendation should be based
on so gross misunderstanding of the
conditions in regard to which they re-
commend, is almost an impertinence.
For the main suggestion which they
make Zone already familiar enough to
the public mind for the establishment
of a permanent Strike Commission, it
is measure against which there has
heretofore been no such serious argu-
ment to be advanced as is now furnish
ed by the example which this temper
airy Commission has set.
If the achievements of men are to
be measured by their opportunities,
then is the performance of the Com
missioners thing almost beyond
pity. They had it in their power to
give US document which should be
of service to the world and to man
kind, which might have marked an
epoch in the world wide struggle
for the alienation of social discon-
tent. In place of it they have given
US a document which is untrust-
worthy in its statements of fact, ig-
norant and uncomprehending in its
scope, and in its spirit cowardly with
the cowardice of the politician who
sets the applause OF the worst ele-
ment in the population above the aims
of patriotism. That such a produc-
ton should be in danger of taking its
place among our public documents is
humiliation to the people of the
