the voice Of Darlington announcing
who 1t was there seeking admittance,

Which he was then cnvironed.

light he looked from the window and

i1asH

A Premature Scare is Set Mt Rest To-
day.
According to the report Of DIR. Elliott, the
physician in charge of the smallpox hos
pital, the smallpox scare yesterday was a
little premature. Bette Rich, the sixteen
year-old colored patient, who was sent to
the hospital as a patient, he says has not
got the smallpox. Yesterday the health
officials reported that she had the disease,
and. as printed in yesterdays Star, thought
the case was remarkable one, because of
the fact that only few days ago she was
dis charged from the hospital as cured.
Upon an investigation of the case the OFF,
Gals discovered that they were mistaken In
reporting that DR.. Walls had passed upon
the case before, as he did not see her at
the time she was sent to the hospital
Word from the hospital this morning was
to the effect that when the girl was in the
hospital last month she had a bona fide
case of smallpox, and the serum treatment
on the girls face, it is thought, is proba-
lily one of the remote effects of this treat
ment.
Dr. Bradfield's diagnosis of the girls case
two days ago is borne out by the girls
present illness, and the smallpox scare was
the result of the eruptions which appeared.
Notwithstanding the fact that the girl has
Lot got the smallpox she Is kept in the
smallpox hospital, and is likely to remain
there several days. She is isolated from
think there is no danger in her remaining
there. Her lungs are slightly congested,
and she has fever. The news from the
hospital this morning was very encourag
irg to the health officer. who had fears
that Bette had the smallpox, and that
number of persons having been exposed to
her there might have been a fresh out
break of the disease.

AN INTERESTING TALK

Another great reform movement occupied
the attention of the National Council of
Women at its morning session today. Hav-
ing disposed of dress reform and moral re-
form at the two sessions yesterday, the
council this morning took up the matter
of divorce reform, and number of valu-
able suggestions were made. The council
has standing committee on the subject Of
divorce reform, and the discussion today
was opened by the reading of the commit
tees report by its chairman, Mrs. Ellen
Battelle Dietrich of Massachusetts.
In beginning her report Mrs. Dietrich
said that the committee deprecated any
further legislation tending to restrict di-
vorce until women, who are vitality inter-
ested in the matter, have been given an
opportunity to be heard. Statistics show
that large majority of divorces are grant
cd on the application of women who charge
cruelty, desertion and drunkenness. In
these three charges the proportion of d.
vorces granted shows that men are the
chief offenders, and it does not seem fair
that men alone should have a voice in
enacting divorce laws In the course of
her report Mrs. Dietrich said that in ac-

Fatal Explosion i'm n New Mexico
Mine.

Fatal Explosion in New Mexico
A terrific explosion of gas occurred in the
White Ash mines of the Santa Fe Railroad
Company, three miles from Cerrilos N. NJ,
Yesterday, causing the death Of over TWEEN
ty miners.
The first intimation of the disaster was a
muffled roar and clouds of smoke and dust
rolling from the mouth Of the mine. Nearly
300 men are employed in the mine, but only
fifty were at work when the explosion oc-
CURED. Only eleven of them escaped alive.
Relays Of men worked heroically to reach
those who are still imprisoned in the mine
but little progress could be made on account
CT the gas, which permeated every shaft
and overpowered the workers in short
time.
The scene at the mouth of the shaft after
the explosion was heartrending. Men cursed,
husbands and brothers who were entombed
alive or brought up dead.
One woman, supposing her husband to
have been killed, tried to commit suicide by
throwing herself in front of moving train
Her husband was afterward rescued alive
and the reaction from insane grief to deli
rious Joy was nearly fatal.
The mine was known to be badly venti-
lated and full Of bad air and gas, and a
catastrophe of this kind has been fire.

A bill was introduced in the New Mexico
legislature yesterday afternoon to appro-
pirate 5000 for the relief of the widows
and orphans.

the root Of the evil. In the case Of New
York girl Of vast wealth who is shortly to
wed titled foreigner, the only regret ex-
pressed. said Miss Shaw. is that she Is go
ing to take her great fortune out of the
country, not that the country will lose a
fine woman. Bank accounts are regarded
mony today. Miss Shaw said that for nine
tenths Of the marriages that had come
under her observation she had little more
respect than she would have for the same
sort Of life lived outside Of the so-called
marriage relation.
The discussion was continued by Mrs.
Isabella Charles Davis and by Mrs. Sewall,
who said that the courcil did not stand as
the advocate of easy divorce" nor only
as the mcuthpiece of woman's wrongs. 1t
did stand for the truth that men and wo-
men are equally interested in the matter Of
marriage end divorce, and that tn, prob
lens presented by these two features of
life can never be satisfactorily solved un-
less the views of men and women alike are
taken into consideration.

American Cattle Were Excluded, He
Says, Only When Found Necessary.
PARIS, February 2S-Contrary to the
cabled reports received here, the United
States ambassador to France, Mr.. James
B. Eustis, has not received Instructions to
protest against the French exclusion of
American cattle from this country.
1t seems that there is Misrepresentation
in the United States in regard to the scope
of the decree, which applies only to Amer
lean live cattle and which does not affect
timed or dressed beef. The exact wording
of the decree is:
Considering that contagious diseases
which do not exist in France are prevalent
il the United States among animals of the
bovine species and that cases have been
established among animals imported to
Europe from that country, it is necessary
to take measures TO prevent the introduc-
ton of these diseases into our territory.
Accordingly, upon the advice of the con-
sulting committee on epizootics and on the
report of the councillor of state, the di-
rector Of agriculture DEGREES tina. the i'm.
port into or transit through France of all
animals of the bovine species from the
United States is prohibited. both by our
land frontiers or by se:. until otherwise
ordered. Animals shipped before February
81 will be allowed entry if healthy"
1t is learned that France took this step
with the greatest reluctance NJ, Ham
otaux, the minister of foreign affairs, says:
L, myself, was greatly opposed to the
issue of the Gecree, and 1t was only done
after the minister of agriculture had as
suIed us that there was positive evidence
that disease among the cattle landed ex-
listed.
Il am not willing to agree to any step
which could be construed as unfrlendly to
the United States. but Germany, Belgium
and England have already taken exactly
the same precautions, and we are the last
nation to do so.'

NEW YORK, February 2S.-The Ward

morning from Cuba, brings news that the
whole island has been under martial law
since February "a. Great excitement pre-
