FROM A N'sPo1NroFv1Ew.

II knew of course, that the ascent of the
pyramids was difficult, but it had been the
dream of my life to mount to the top of
Cheops, and was not come SO far to chieve
it and then turn back with my purpose un-

pose-I did-the pyramids and the sphinx
stood in the midst of level stretch of
sand? I am sure that the several pictures
OF the sphinx whispering to an eager
hearer always portray the surroundings so.
But, in truth, there is what one might cali

grasping the flagstaff, to look off at the su

was compensation for all the fearful
climb.
But now another consideration held
sway. We had over 100 feet TO descend,
and, If the coming up had been difficult,
wondered what the going down would be.

BLOWHARD BRADFORD
Made Such Loud Charges Against
the journal"
BUT FOUND IT'S STATEMENTS TRUE.

His WhItewaslIns Report Made Pab-
lie Last Night at the City Council
Only FHe and Councilman Skinner
Voted in Favor OF ssIs Report"
Councilman Bradford made the report
of the "iiphtheria withdrawing com
mittee" last night As he had made up
his mind before he started on the trip of
investigation what he wanted TO find his
report agreed perfectly with his pre-
vious opinion. He said that the quar-
antine is perfect which Councilman
Bradford knows is, or at least was not
true. He did not say that the only peo-
pie Intercepted were the members of
the family themselves who would not
care to convict themselves but such was
the case with one or two exceptions. He
did not say that he found one woman
who admitted that she had gone down
town after her house was quarantined.
1.-The quarantine is being strictly en-
forced" he said.
He said that great majority of the
cases of the disease were people who
had not attended school This also
is not true, but it is only an example of
how Mr.. Bradford perverts facts to carry
his point He found that it is not neces-
sary to close the schools because the dis
ease had not been communicated in the
schools, and still he knows that in nearly
all the cases the patient had attended
school before he was taken with the dis
ease.
1t was through the JOURNAL that the
people were told how serious the disease
is and the necessity of enforcing strict
quarantine. It was the JOURNAL that
kept the people informed of the spread
of the disease, and the committee did not
ind a single instance among the cases
visited in which the circumstances were
not almost identical with those pub
lished TheJoURNAL thought that in many
cases the board OF health was to blame,
and upon that point Councilman Brad
ford disagrees.
Councilman Bradford's statement, that
the JOURNALS articles were printed for
political or personal reasons, is the most
senseless thing in the report.
The JoURNAL's articles were printed so
that the people might take the necessary
precautions 10 prevent, the spread of
diphtheria. and nobody who has any re
gard for the truth would make such
charge.
The JOURNAL has no personal antagon-
ism to air, 40 political motive to serve,
and the council knows il.
Councilman Bradford was authorized
by the committee to write the report and
it was signed by him as chairman On
the motion to adopt Councilmen Brad
ford and Skinner voted in favor of its
adoption and as there were no votes in
the negative the mayor decided the mo-
ton to adopt carried.
Councilman Bradford has taken this
diphtheria fight on his own shoulders.
HIS actions had not been called in ques-
ton. The council was not Involved III
the matter; but Bradford must rush into
the breach: and he did it for purely
political reasons s. B. Bradford is
politician before he IS anything else, and
one of very small calibre at that.

A LOYAL FRIEND.
How the Frenchman Was True to Ex-
Congressman O'NeiI,.


Congressman O'NeiI..
Ex-Congressman O'Neill of Missouri,
who was III the city for week or ten
days recently, has a friend in Washing
ton, Frenchman, who has the happy
faculty of beguiling the hours in such
pleasant caaRDer that the Missourian
often gets to bed long after the chimes
of midnight have tolIed the beginning
Of another day. About O'Clock a. m.
few nights ago it occurred to O'Neill
that nature had some claims upon him
of paramount Importance with those of
his French friend, and just for a bluff
be suddenly broke off the conversation,
which took place in the lobby of the
hotel in which the retired statesman
was staying, and said to the clerk in
loud voice:
''Cal me at 80. I've got to take
an early train. -
The Frenchman excused himself hur-
riedly and departed, and with heart
rejoicing in the success of his stratagem
O'Neill sought his couch and prepared
to press it until the dinner bell should
summon him to his days task, for he
had no intention of leaving for several
days to come.
About rs O'Clock violent rapping
at his door aroused him from the sweet
est part of his slumbers, and familiar
voice in the corridor was heard to ex-
claim:
Pardonnez-moi, Meester O'NeilL
Eet's nearly seek c'clock''-
"Hang it!' exclaimed O'Neill,
''Whats that to me? Go away and let
me Sleep
At this the pounding at the door be-
calno moro violent than before.
"But You sed you wanted to geet COP
to catch re train, and 20 a I hat COON
to wake you. Geet oop, geet oop, or you
will meez re TRAIN, - and the pounding
continued
1t was no use to demonstrate. O'Neill's
French friend insisted on making him
get up and open the door. Then he ex-
planned that he had heard him tell the
clerk TO call him III time for the early
train, but as he had kept him so late the
night before he feared that the clerk
might forget and accordingly had come
to the hotel to see that he did not over
sleep himself.
lyon burned old muttonhead - ex-
claimed the Missourian. ''Don't you
know that left that order just to get
rid of you, because 1 wanted to go to
bed and get some sleep? Don't you know
it was all bluff?''
"Bloof:" exclaimed the Frenchman.
"Bloof, Meester O'Nein?'
