Congress of Leprologists.

From the Chicago Tribune
Such interest has been manifested in the
congress of leprologists, which was called
to meet in Berlin in March next, that the
meeting has been postponed to October.
The change in date is chiefly made in or
der that the leading governments may
have time to make more thorough investi-
CATION and secure more exact information
as to the existence and spread of leprosy
in Europe.
That leprosy existed to any considerable
extent in Europe was not suspected until
within u recent period, the few cases re-
ported in Norway. Iceland and the United
States being questioned by many physi-
clans. But to the surprise of those who
thought they knew there was no leprosy in
Europe, three persons. daily walking the
streets of London, were discovered to have
the disease in q more or less advanced
stage. Shortly afterward not less than $50
cases were found to exist in Paris. DR..
Ehlers has found 15S cases in Iceland. and
the Investigations of English officials have
brought to light over 800 cases on the ISL
and of Crete. In Egypt DR.. EngeI Bey has
recorded over 1900 cases. At one time over
5000 lepers We're reported in Norway,
though the number has since been greatly
reduced. The disease exists in Italy, Spain
and France. and it is believed that no
country of Europe is free from it. From
the fact that the majority of known cases
of leprosy have been found on islands or in
maritime provinces, it has been believed
that the disease, If not caused by a fish
diet, was greatly aggravated by such diet
Recent Investigations are reported to have
demonstrated that this belief is erroneous
as is also the supposition that the disease
is hereditary. The discovery of the bacil-
lus of leprosy by DR.. Armaner Hanson in

sPEAI1ER REED OR CAR REED.

According TO a Washington dispatch
Speaker Reed has determined that no bust
ness shall be done at the special session
next month except the passage of a tariff
bill. The speaker win carry out this deter
mination, it is said, by declining to appoint
any committees except committee of ways
and means and committee on mileage.
The contents of this dispatch may or may
not be true Mr.. Reed in the past, has
earned reputation for ignoring precedent
and introducing radical innovations in the
conduct of house business-a course which
also won him the title of "czar." These
innovations. however. were generally in the
direction of expediting the work of the
session. and were made with the consent
and approval Of the Republican majority.
The charges of unfairness and tyranny
came from bafIied minority.
1t is altogether probable that, If Mr.
Reed has decided on the plan above re-
ferred to. the decision was made after con-
sultation and agreement with other Re-
publican leaders of the house. We hardly
think Tom Reed is car enough TO say ar
bitrarily that the house shall do such work
40 Ac 3liulNluhhiig may ldNOI anu ItOHS
other. This would indeed be usurpation,
and one which neither congress nor the
corntry could afford TO condone
Undoubtedly the special session is to be
called for the distinct purpose of adopting
a tariff, and probably for no other. But
the president cannot say that the peoples
representatives. after they have assembled,
shall not be permitted to consider anything
else than tariff. Certainly the speaker
would not be justified in tying their hands
with a parliamentary rope. however effect
lively the knot might be made.
The plan said to have been determined on
by the speaker would only be warranted
after its submission to party caucus, and
It is not quite plain that it would be fair
and commendable even as . party measure.
The Republican majority in the next house
IS large enough to adopt whatever business
methods it may find to be most serviceable.
If it desires to confine the work of the
session TO tariff it will be able to do so
without resortlng to extraordinary proceed

How the World Is Fed.

From the New York World,
The extensive shipments of frozen poul-
try recently made from New York to Eu-
rope suggest the vastness of the scale on
which the improved arrangements for feed
ing the world are now carried out. When
America was discovered buyers in the larg-
est European produce markets counted by
the dozen at wholesale and had minds hab-
itUated to the great gross" as the largest
measure of numerical quantity. Now we
are obliged to count our eggs and chickens
not merely by the gross. but by the million
dozen. Last year England actually con-
sumed 133. .O00.000 dozen eggs, paying $50 O0O.-
900 for them. Ten millions of them came
from America.
In 1886 England imported $4,000 hundred
weight of frozen beef from Australia, and
over three times that amount from the
United States. A market in London or in
New York will often show within the space
of a hundred feet products from every part
of the world. the shipment and preservation
of which over thousands of miles OF land
and water have been made possible by the
process ,of Chilling"
Although the horrors of plague and fam
inc in India, existing while we have food
products unused In this country, show that
the machinery of distribution is still very
imperfect. it is better now that it ever has
been in history.
Ihe retrigerctors invented during the last
ten years have practically revoluticnized
distribution, and in doing so have con-
ftImed the supremacy of the United States
as the worlds greatest provider. Everyone
knows that we raise grain by the billion
bushels, but it is only when we begin to
export eggs and poultry by the million
dozen and the thousand tons, and the hum
BILE hen promises to bring in more money
from abroad than the naughty steel indus
try, that we begin to realize the possibili-
ties of our greatness.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
q Tt is sixty wears, less a few months, since
Miss Eunice White Bullard was married
to Henry Ward Beecher. He had just
graduated at Lane seminary, and had re-
ceived call to his first church. 1t was
in the town of Lawrenceburg, Ind, and
thither the young and ambitious minister
carried his bride in August, 1857. The
church had membership of nineteen
women and one good-for-nothing man,
and the annual salary was $50.
Thus commenced the active lives of two
Americans whose names are deeply i'm
pressed on our history and will long be
memorable Ten years ago Mr.. Beecher
passed from his labors. To-day Mrs.
Beecher is awaiting her final summons.
What an era her active life has spannedi
What a contrast between 1881 and 1897!
In that epochal year of 1887 the Union
was increased to twenty-six states by the
admission of Michigan, but what a sham
bling, overgrown. hoastful and ignorant
hobbedehoy that Union was! 1t has gone
far since that day! As We now look back
upon our grandfathers We cannot admit
that either politically or morally wisdom
died with them. Great indeed were the
statesmen of that time, and the names
of Clay. Webster. Jackson, Calhoun and
Benton will long be remembered and hon.
ored with many others, but they belonged
to an environment that to us is now almost
incomprehensible.
1t was the beginning of the active polit-
ical agitation of the slavery question, with
which the name of Beecher is forever as
sociated. and the year of the martyrdom
of Lovejoy, but no one foresaw that in a
quarter of century, and in less than half
of the lifetime still III store for MIR. and
Mrs. Beecher, slavery would be banished
from the United States.
Ten years after their marriage and hum
HE beginnings at Lawrenceburg Mr. Beech
er found his platform and his golden op-
portunity in Plymouth church and began
his national career. What that became the
world knows.
And now his faithful and admirable help
meet is laying down the burdens of long
and useful life. The sympathy and affec-
ton of innumerable American households
are hers!

OF complications which viii overturn the
peace of Europe and dissolve the alliances
now existing between the powers, for II is
doubtful if Turkey and Greece can be per-
mitted TO fight it out alone. The dispatch-
es of yesterday indicate that Greece deiip-
erately planned the outbreak for the pur-
pose of inaugurating a general read1ust-
ment which she believes will result in the
obliteration of the Ottoman empire. France
and Russia and Germany are already an
griIy discussing the situation; and En-
gland. eyer a source OF suspicion to the
other powers, is being accused by all three
of the countries named with having some
thing up her sleeve in the matter Of the
Cretan revolution.
Whatever may be the final outcome OF
the disturbance, there is at least one con-
sideration which should rivet the attention
of every civilized nation. The time has
certainly arrived when the Ottoman empire
should be taught that she can not ruthless
" slaughter her own subjects for refusing
to bend the knee to Mahomet. In this era
of civilization the world can not afford to
remain silent when upon any portion of it
religious fanaticism is a justification for
murder. Before peace is declared, the Mus
sulmans should be forced 70 pay dear for
the Armenian outrages, and by the same
token Greece will have the sympathy of
most good people in the war which she
seems on the eve of commencing.

much of its space, as was the custom in
those days, is taken up with the names of
those who had subscribed for the book in
