As Tribune representative vas strolnng

As q Tribune representative vas strolting
about town the other day, looking up items
of news he dropped into Fezer's drug store
This, that and other medicines were talked
of and their curative qualities analysed, =,
so far as lay in their power. The cure-
tive powers of DR.. Williams Pink Pills were
talked of, when Mr.. Falkner, a clerk in the
store, mentioned that Mrs. Joseph Moore was
a firm believer in their efficacy. Pursuing
his quest, the Tribune man paid Mrs. Moore
visit the next day.
Among the many good people residing in
Greeley, Colorado, Squire Moore and his
amable wife are the best known and the
most respected. The Squire is carrying his
seventy-six years as sturdily as many men
who have not yet rounded their sixtieth mile
post ard his wife, Ann, is a fitting comran-
ion, one Of those pleasant faced, agreeable
ladies, who make you feel perfectly at home
when in their company This happy couple
were born in the same neighborhood OF the
West Riding. OF York, England, in 1920; the
husband a few weeks his wiie's senior and
for over fifty years they have travelled the
pathway of life together. In 1848 they emf
grated to this country and settled in Derby,
Conn, where they resided for a number of
years. While there Mr.. Moore, who was
highly respected by his neighbors, was elect
ed member OF the State Legislature in 1867.
During his residence in the United States
he has been s. constant reader of the New
York Tribune, and was an ardent admirer
of its founder and great editor, Horace
Greeley, and firm believer in that notable
writer's opinions. Through those mediums
he was influenced to come to Greeley in the
ever since During his residence ia this
beautiful section of northern Colorado, he
has held many responsible public positions,
notably that of Justice of the Peace, an office
which he occupied uninterruptedly for eight
years; and four years ago was reelected to
another term, his name being placed in
nomination at the convention without his
knowledge.
The newsgatherer w@ received cordially
and in response to his inquiries, Mrs. Moore
stated that her health commenced failing
SeEerAi years ago Dut ll2e u Erett many WOul-
en-, she scarcely knew the meaning Of the
name sickness in relation to herself She
refused medical attendance or treatment Of
any kind, barring that which she drew upon

MORTALITY AT THE SOUTH.
Statistics Showing tint the Negro
Race IL SuccunhinE to Disease.

The publication of the mortuary
statistics for the month Of August Of
a number Of the leading towns Of North
Carolina reveals remarkable death rate
among negroes as compared with
whites. In Raleigh, for instance, where
there are 1000 more whites than hlncks,
during July there were two-and-on'-
half times as many deaths Of negroes
as Of whites In Wilmington, y. c.,
where there is only n small excess of
black population, there were II deaths
Of whites and of negroes 80, or nearly
three TO one. In Winston, where there
are considerably more whites than ne
Froos, the negroes dying numbered
more than two TO one, the ratio accord
ing 10 race population being much
greater. Other towns show a like rec
ord. The unusual mortality among ne
grocs Is not due TO any epidemic dis
ease, or insufficient nourishmcnt, as has
II some few isolated instances been the
case in winter,

HOLIDAYS THE WORLD OVER.
In Latin-American Countries the People
Work Only 2OO Days In the Year.

In Latin-American Countries the People
Work Only o Days In the Year.
A computation made a short time ago
showed that among European oun
tries the two in which wages were high
est and the hours of labor least were
England and France, whereas the two
countries in which wages were small
est and the hours of labor longest were
Italy and Russia. In some countries of
the world an explanation of the appar-
ent dsarth of progressive industry
among the inhabitants is to be found,
perhaps, in the recurrence Of holidays
of a religious, patriotic or purely social
character, and many persons who are
familiar with the industrial usages in
some cities Of and Central America
say that there the number of holidays
seems to exceed tie number of work
ing days. There are in such countries
usually not fewer than n dozen church
festivals; and there arc besides patriot
ic festivals. \ similar state of affairs
exists in all Latin countries, and is to
be found in the United States, too, when
one turns II the legal festivals of Lou
isiana. There is the holiday of JAN
uary s, concentrating the battle of
New Orleans; the Mardi Gras on March
. in New Orleans; Confederate Mem
orial day in April, Good Friday, All
Saints day, election day, Louisiana
Labor day, on November25, andThanks-
giving aud Christmas days. Florida cell

YeXas the anniversary of the battle of
San Jacinto, and Alabama the days of
Mardi GraS. Deducting the Sundays
and holidays the number of working
days i'll the United States, exclusive of
the Gulf states, is sos. In Russia there
are 9G7 working days: Great Britain has
27S; Portugal, 2S3; Spain, 800; Austria,
200; Italy, PCS; Bavaria. Belgium and
Brazil, 800 each; Denmark, France, Nor
way, SaXony, Switzerland and Wurtem-
burg. 3O2 each; Sweden. 3O4; Prussia
and Ireland. 3O5; the Netherlands, 30S;
Hungary, 312.
1t has been found impossible to get
any accurate figures from the South
American counties, but 200 is the max
imum estimate of actual working days
in many of them. OF course, if the
number of Sundays be subtracted from
the total number of days in a year there
are left 312, and if one-third of the other
days available for work are set apart
for holiday purposes, it is perfectly
clear hat there should not be more
than 200 working days in Il year. In
Anglo-SaXon countries and in the
United States the special effort of work
iDgmen has been not to reduce the
days of labor, but the hours of labor in
each day. and thus there has been with
in the last 20 years 4 larger reduction,
really, of working time in the United
States and in Great Britain, than in
the Latin or Latin-American countries.

THE POETS IDEAL WOMAN.
She Makes Her Presence Felt without
Being Obtrusive.

DtlhS ~ o"ANO
1t is not easy TO sum up in a word or
two wherein consists the essence of
femininity, for it resides in the COM
bination Of many instincts and at
tributes. Whatever else be requisite
in the ideal woman she must have
charm and modesty. These make her
respected. admired, loved. and without
these ideal womanhood does not exist.
Around these naturally cluster the
other graces and qualities which make
her a treasure to be sought and a pos
session to be priced.
To be winsOme and attractive is of
primary Importance. To be lovely is
almost as much of an obligation rs to
be loving. Strength gained at the eN-
pense of attractiveness is a question
able advantage. Physical beauty en-
hances a woman's charm. but she may
be charming without it if she have the
beauty of goodness and the faculty of
pleasing. In making herself charming,
personal appearance. voice and manner
count for much. The ind"scribable
something that attaches others TO her
is partly an inheritance. but it may be
cultivated. Whether she be gentle born
or not, she may become gentle. pleas
ing presence, a sweet and noble DISPOSE
tion manifesting itself in gracious ways
and kind words, in smiles and laughter
these make up much of the atmos-
phere that goes with the ideal wom-
an. OF curse dress may heighten her
charm or dctract from it, but it can
rot entirely rob her of the fragrance
and inspiration of her native womanli-
ness.
But charm is not enough without
mOdesty, which cannot exist without
purity of heart and of soul. To be inn
modest and brazen is TO forfeit re-
spect. The ideal I'M makes her
presence felt without being obtrusive.
She wins her way by keeping her deli
Cacy, by not ~surrendering chastity.
Herein is half the secret of her fascfna-
ton. To lose modesty is to lose the
most precious jewel in the crown Of

ANOTHER COUNTRY REvoLTs.
Marshall Islanders Turn Against the Rule

Marshall Islanders Turn Against the Rule
of Their Foreign Masters.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-The arrival
of the Galilee from Tahiti shows that
another country is in the throes of war.
The islanders on the Marshall group
have thrown open defiance at France,
and all the forces at the command of
the governor of the islands have proved
of no avail against the natives. The
villages of the latter have been de-
stroyed, their crops burned, their
strongholds in the hills have been
shelled and their dead can be counted
by the hundred.
According to the stories told by the
passengers on the Galilee, the natives
have been growing and g%rumbling for
a long time past. They assert that
the taxes are too heavy, and finally re-
fused to pay when called upon. Those
On the main group were soon brought
to terms, but the men in Raietea and
the adjacent islands held out, and
when the Galilee sailed from Papeete
the men, women and children had re-
tired to the hills and were keeping up
a desultory warfare.
The transport Aube, with several
companies of volunteers, and the frigate
Duguay-Irouin We're on the scene, and
the following proclamation was sent to
all the rebel chiefs:
To the Rebels Of Raietea and Tanaa: Re-
peated insults to the French flag have tried the
patience Of the government Of the republic I
come forward with soldiers and men-of-war to
compel you to lay down your arms and return to
obedience. 1 allow you four days grace to listen
to the voice OF reason and make your submis-
sion complete. After that time II you do not
surrender our troops will march against you
and punish you as you deserve.
II you compel me to take arms I will take
the most severe measures against you and your
people and confiscate your territory.
+. 1 therefore order you to evacuate your dis
trictS without delay and come with your chief,
your families, your arms and ammunition on
January 1 to the following places:
The rebels Of Tahaa, with their wives and
families, to the Island Of Toahutu.
The rebels Of opos on the island Of Iriru
Those of Tevaftos on the island Of Tahunnse
and Torea
The white flag has been raised On all those
points to show that the country has rendered
your submission.

In half an hour the fog lifted, the
sun shone clearly and we could see the
Tremendous surges rushing around the
fearful pool like monsters in a pit.
1t was to the west of us, and as the
air to the south grew clear we OBJ
served 4 tall brig drifting slowly toward
the fearful vortex.
The Dutch1nan! the Dutchman."
cried all our men, in a breath.
For everyone saw that the vessel was
the Zuydcr Zee.
She had no anchors, no boats, and the
current was carrying her steadily
toward that place of terror, where the
sea god Odin would grasp her by the
keel and hurl her thunderingly below.
"Clear away the yawl!" shouted Capt.
Rivers. Come with me, four of you!"
he added, springing over the t~atfrail.
"Stand by the tackles, Lower away
and cast off,"
Three of my shipmates and myself
went with him. How we sprang to the
oars!
The Zuyder Zee was reached. Mrs.
Rivers and little Charlie, together with
the Dutch captains wife, were put
into the boat, and all hands besides, ten
in number, taken with them.
With a complement of is persons our
little yawl felt the tide in a way that
placed her in terrible danger, but at last
we succeeded in reaching the ship in
safety.
As we did so the Dutch brig went into
the whirl. What a sight it was! Around
and around she swept, now standing
nearly on end, now lying over till her
yards dipped in the water, and all the
wlile-headforemost. sternforemost or
Lroadside to-going with frightfCl
speed.
Then the hull disappeared; the lower
nlasts were swallowed; the royal yards
went ont of sight. She was gone.
We arrived safely at Rotterdam. But
who can describe the caresses showered
upon little Charlie through all the
massage? The Dutch mother, who had
lost her boy, seemed to love the Ameri-
eau child almost as her own; and when
we sailed from the old Holland seaport
she waited him fearful kisses as his
small face looked back 20 the quaint
drawbridge where she stood

ship.
Suddenly he caught sight of the
Zuyder Zee, and in some way losing his
balance, while straining his neck tc
look at her, out he went.
Mrs. Rivers had just missed him as
he disappeared. She leaned out to
catch him, as the Rollo's stern settled
in the eddy beneath, and she, too, was
gone.
Those on deck knew nothing of the
catastrophe, until, as the Zuyder Zee
swung partly athwart out stern, they
saw a woman clutching a little boy, car
ried forcibly against the Dutch brig,
and almost dipped mp by the heavy bull
warks. The stout Rotterdam sailors
grasped them as they came, and the
square-built Holland skipper signaled
to US that all was well.
His establishment, of course, no signal
could express; and as to our W cap
tain, l will not dwell upon the emotions
he must have experienced at that mo-
ment.
Soon afterward we saw that the
Dutchman, having parted both her ca
bles, had been compelled to make sail,
sheeting home his topsaiIs, into which
he put close reefs.
With this sail, and the tide in his ia
vor, he might possibly in the wide, sea-
like ford, still keep his vessel from 60
ing ashore, though her peril was ex-
IRENE.
1t was not long, however, ere the wind
greatly abated, and we could see that
he had set his f~orsail, fOretOpmast
staysail and trysail, with which amount
of canvas his chance of safety was much
improved.
Soon after the gale was over, a thick,
rainy mist gathered upon the water,
obscuring everything for "a hours; but
the wind, which had changed, blew a
strong breeze directly out of the ford.
At length the air cleared and we got
under way, seeing nothing of the Dutch
man.
Had he felt his way out with his lead
l:ne, or was he dashed upon the rocks?
The suspense of u captain was dread
full.
As we passed the mouth of the ford
the wind hauled in such Il Il as tC
head us off; the air became foggy,
and, in making a turn, we approached
so near the maelstrom as to hear its
heavy roaring.
The order was given to put the ship

SANITATION AND HUMAN LIFE.
Nowadays Cities Are Nearly as Healthy
as the Country.

AS the OuulF1
In a recent lecture on what sanitation
has done for human life, Prof. Brewer,
of Yale university, said hat no one
doubts that human life has been pro-
ionged by the application of science in
The last 80 years. How much Inathe-
radically this amounts to n years, in
per cent, is an transferable question.
We car never have the data in figures.
Even if we had our vital statistics COM
pleted for that period men would differ
as to the relative value of the several
factors in this problem. Our great cities
would not eXist-they could not exist
without the aids of science. We have
had the ancient Egyptian and Greek
and Roman civilizations, which were
oagan, and later Christian civilization,
and all were poweTleSs to convert prac-
tees. Between the epidemics that
ragged from time to time and the high
{ ath rate il the best years, the popula-
tn of Europe as a whole probably
scarcely increased at all for LOCO or
1900 ears. This century came in with
out 4 single city in Christendom with
1.U0C.0 900 inhabitants. Paris had in 1850
but 54S,OO0: London and the suburbs,
in 1901, S64,s45. The other great Eng
lish cities had less than 100000. Great
cities could not endure then. First, the
people could not be fed. Then, most Of
the population had to be fed and food
produced within 90 miles of the place OF
consumption. Science has now made
it possible to transport food halfway
around the globe and has discovered
new methods of preservation as well.
City population was not self-perpetuat-
ing. Man died off; the death rate was
continually high and from time to time
:here was death by pestilence. Even
where there were sewers they were
TO drain the ground of water rather
than to carry away sewage. Now cities
are male nearly as healthy as the coun'
