The caricaturing of General Miles, who
rose from a subaltern in a company to the
command of division in General Han
cocks corps. and subsequently was one of
the most successful of the Indian fighters,
reflects more severely upon the good sense
Of those who are guilty of it than it can
upon any other person. General Miles may
put on a few airs but he has won the right
to do so, and his great service to Chicago
in 1894 should cause him to be held in
esteem by all except law-breakers.

the charm of the place for many. Beside
the receptions of the president and the

gatherings. While there are sets here,

Mr. Anthony Hope Hawkins is coming to
this country to lecture. Nobody knows
Mr. Hawkins, but everybody has heard of
Mr.. Anthony Hope and is acquainted with
his Prisoner of Zenda," his Princess
Ossa" and other pleasing personages to
whom he has introduced us. Why, when he
appeared as author of these literary beings
he did not do so over his entire name is
one of those mysteries one who is not an
author has no means of solving. 1t cannot
be that any author hopes to keep his
identity hidden by such a course in these
days of newspaper publicity. An assumed
name is of no aid whatever in keeping his
personality from the public. He is inter
viewed. the smallest details of his life are
described, and his picture becomes familiar
to the world in a very brief time, if by
chance he makes a hit. a searchlight is
turned upon him and the very secrets of his
heart are discovered and spread abroad
Often he shows himself not in the least
averse to this notoriety and his adoption
of a nom de plume in such case becomes
the more unaccountable. Mr.. Ian Mac
Laren showed no disposition to remain in
the seclusion of his parsonage when he
was found to be the Rev. John Watson
but, on the contrary, seemed anxious to
give wide circulation to the secret" The
main thing he did accomplish was to bur
den the memory of the reading public with
two names instead of one-a waste of men
tai energy that he might have saved. Mr.
Hawkinss case is not quite as bad, for he
merely divided his name into parts and
used it in nstallments, but, nevertheless
when he comes to America TO lecture d
good many people who know Mr. Hope
very well will ask. who in the world is

WASHINGTON, Sept. 241--(Special Tele-
gram)-General Sill. United States minister
resident at Seoul, Corea, in a letter to the
State department states that he has called
the attention of the government of Corea to
the fact that great exposition is to be held
in Omaha next year. To his letter there
came from Nan Chong Nook, Corean min
lister of foreign affairs, reply, saying:
81 find that such an exposition is very use
full for stimulation of national progress, and
fully appreciating the good results to be
obtained from participation therein, my
government is very grateful for the invita-
tion OF the executive chief, but | regret to
say that 1t is not practicable at present for
us to delegate officials for such a purpose"
General Sill further says that the letter
addressed to the king was not properly SUI
prescribed, and therefore returned, and as It
is sealed, it was impossible for him to make
a translation of the same. The letter was
addressed to his majesty, Ii Hi, which It
appears is not the kings name. He is OF the
Yea dynasty. and could be called his Majesty
Ye, but according to Minister Sill, 1t is not
proper Corean etiquette to call the king by
his name during his reign, and he is simply
his majesty, king of Corea. The letter will
be returned to the exposition authorities for
correction.

DEATH RATEAT NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 24-Eminent doc
tors believe that the work of the Board of
Health is productive of good results and that
the fever is not spreading, but is being con-
fined to localities. Thus far there have been
few less than 100 cases and fifteen deaths.
The death rate is in the neighborhood of
10 per cent. 1t was in 1878 16 per cent, so
that up to the present time the disease is
about as virulent as it was in the last great
epidemic New Orleans has had. One of the
sensations of the day was the announcement
that the Board of Health had decided to
prosecute DR.. Monluzin for having failed to
report case of suspicious fever.
This was the record today: Deaths-Salva-
dor Casinir 1923 Charles street; Frederick
Gund, 535 Marais; Miss Dreyfous, old No. SO
Bourbon. New cases-Child in the Wood
family, octavia, between St. Charles and
Pitts; Miss Mccall, ia jackson; Miss Mamie
McNeely, 1919 st. Louis; Gertrude, Kerr, S3l
Bourbon; John APPEL, S32 Howard; Kate
Murray (colored), 1928 Magazine; Rosetta
Blading (colored) 545 Washington; Joseph
Cuther, 1S6 Robertson Miss Dreyfous, SO
Bourbon The case of Miss Mccall is on one
OF the most prominent avenues of the city.
No previous case has appeared on the street
OF the ninetyodd cases in New Orleans
from the beginning but four have been
among the negro population.
Mayor Flower today ordered a force Of
policemen to guard the Bureaguard school,
on which a mob made an attack to burn last
night. Only a portion of the building was
burned and it is still possible to use the
structure as a hospital for the treatment of
yellow fever patients. 1t was shortly after
midnight that the mob applied the torch
and thereby carried into execution threat
that had been repeatedly made. When the
firemen arrived on the scene their hose was
cut, but the department worked pluckily and
with the assistance of a squad of police uti-
mately succeeded in eXtinguishing the flames.
The burning of the school created intense
Indignation here and the outrage was bitterly
denounced. Every newspaper in the city, in
ringing editorials, has pledged itself to sup
port the mayor in whatever action he might
take to punish the culprits and carry into
effect the original determination to estab-
lish a yellow fever hospital in the Burea-
guard school house.
The situation here is generally unchanged.
Freight is moving slowly and there is prac-
tically no passenger traffic. Theaters are
still open. The ordering by the Southern
Pacific company of the steamer Ell Norte
from New York to Galveston means that all
eastern freights destined for the Pacific
coast will go through the Texas port until
the quarantine embargo against this city Is
raised.
