steal a pin" The connection between
good luck and pins is brought out by
an ancient Anglo-Saxon saw, which
runs:
See a pin and pick it up,
And all the day you'll have good luck.
See a pin and let it lay.
Bad luck you'll have then all the day.
This may be a little weak in gram
mar. but the point is obvious enough.
Every student of household supersti-
ton knows. too, that to come upon a
pin lying with the point toward one
means bad luck, while the opposite
end is an equally potent harbinger of
good fortune. And so long story
might be made of the romantic and
historical associations of the pin, but

The "Bubonic" Plague of Bonn bay.

Physicians seem to be OF the opinion
thst the term "bubopic," eupbonious
and taking as 1t is, is not strictly appro-
PIRATE when applied to the Oriental
plague. The disease is, to be sure, char
scterized by glandular abcesses that are
bubonic in appearance and behavior, but
in their origin they differ radically from
bubonic swelling, being the expression
of a general poisoning of the blood;
whereas, true but onic swellings are simply
ciused by poisonous matter being
brought to the affected Emphatic glands
from a definite peripherai point, and are
not at all indicative of disease of the sys-
TEN at large. However, we do not un-
derstand that they object to the term
enuousIy, provided 1t is understood as
merely descriptive. The plague Is q
disease characterized by such inhamma-
tory swellings, occurring notably in the
groin, and, I'm it's malignant forni--such
as is now prevailing in Bombay by severe
fever, grave arrangements of the func-
tions of the brain and high rate OF NOR

Ii Is copjectured, however, that under
certain unknown conditions IL may re-

But Young Pullman Has Decided to Bee
come Champagne Boomer.
The announcement that Mr.. Sanger
Pullman, second son of the sleeping car
magnate has left his fathers Chicago pal
ace TO become champagne salesman in
New York should not shock anybody fa-
miliar with the present fads of chappie-
dom. 1t may occasion horror in Chicago,
but it will not affect New York, where the
spectacle of member of the house Of Pel
In the millinery business, Berry Wall In
real estate Duncan Elliott's sisters in the
apartments to let" and dozens of others
of the same sort have gained the benignant
smile Of socicty's approval.
Young Mr.. Pullman came 10 New York
about month ago and established himself
at the Hotel Buckingham. He came with
the avowed intention Of going into busi-
ness, and he spent a week looking over the
field and, trying 10 decide what business.
1t was Frank Hubbard who finally pointed
out the brilliant future open to a young
man of Mr.. Pullman's talents in the cham
pagne business, and MIR. Hubbard who
knows "a good thing when he sees 1t,
promptly offered the ambitious young
Chicagoan the agency for the wine he con-
trolls on this side.
Mr. Pullman is only 90 or "a years old,
is a crack polo player, notable tandem
and four-in-hand whip and a daring cross
country rider. He is a member of the CAL
umet, Athletic and dozen or 50 other
clubs in New York and Chicago, and las
been prominent in the Windy City and at
Long Branch where his family have
cottage which is a veritable palace. Sincs
leaving school young Pullman has had a
desk In the castellated monstrosity on the
lake front in Chicago which houses the
immense business interests of his million
airo father, whom Chicagoans irreyerently
call the Duke of Pullman.
But the dry details of car mileage, the
management of his fathers model city Of
Pullman and the monotonous exertion in
volved in cutting coupons for his sire did
not satisfy young Mp Pullman s ambition.
Hence his abandonment for the time of the
pleasures of Chicago society and club life,
the joys of summer dallance at Castle
Rest, on Pullman island, in the Sc. Law
renee, and the happy dawdling Of the swag-
ger set at Long Branch, in favor of an ac-
tive business career as the promoter of the
sales of Mr.. Hubbard's s champagne. e.--New

No business enterprise could be more

down marvellously while its work of

were consulted at the library, and Ia 1890.
about $1,000, in 1895 more than 80, 600
were so consulted. In 1880, $4,000 volumes
were taken home, and today the num-
DER OF deliveries 10 more than 115, 900 an

its invested funds IL about Sit, ooU and to
this the city adds $40, 900 but none of this
latter, We believe, can be applied to run
ming expenses. Salaries are low and work
is heavy. The volumes number sc me-
thing like 80, 900 and their accumulation
long ago outgrew the space at commsnd
for their proper storage, to say nothing of
convenience In handling, and this
splendid collection occupies a building
in no respects claiming to be fire proof.
The citizens OF Providence could make no
more profitable investment than to contri-
butte according to their means sufficient
money to complete the work now made
possible by the gift Of an individual.

Richard Ill. Was Better Than He ID
Painted.

II Richard be tried by the only propsr
standard, that of his own time, he will
be found to be, not more but less, cruel
and bloody than either bis predecessors or
those who came after him. The act which
has especially blackened his memory is the
mysterious removal or murder of the
Princes. Yet Clifford, backed by Margaret
OF Aniou, had killed in cold blood Rich
srd's brother, the Earl of Rutland, a boy
OF sixteen, while Henry VII, imprisoned
and executed the feeble-minded Earl of
Warwick, the son of Clsrencs. In mere
numbers of executions, excluding, OF
course, on both sides those who were
taken in open rebellion, Richard has
much less to answer for than Queen Mar
gsret or Henry VII, and far less than
Henry VIII, who put to death anybody
VINO happened to be distasteful to him on
political, personsl, or religious grounds.
There was no public opinion in that day
against putting to death anyone who bad
played and lost in the great struggle of
politics. Executions were a recognized
part OF the business. When the game went

Speaker Reed once said, he did not cross

PLucKY GREECE.

Greece having called the tluT OF the
Powers by calmly assuring that bogey
that she accepts full responsibility for
ell her acts, the Powers are put 10 IL to
find out by what sort of right Oh rigma-
role they shall interfere between King
George and the Sultan. Here's hoping
that the crowd won't interfere but will
form ring and see fair play.
The Powers which are bound together
in such q way that no one of them sp-
pears to be able to act, except the bal
snce concur, have in the eyes of the COM
mon folk OF the world who do not
understand sll the intricacies Of diplo-
mscies made holy show OF themselves in
their dealings with Turkey. Whatever
their policy, the result of all their huge
military strength and expert diplomacy
has been insction in face OF one OF the
most appalling spectacles OF murder and
devastation by an eIete power that the
worlds history shows. NOW that, in
defence OF lheir own flesh and blood, the
Greeks have not hesitsted to tell the Sui
tan that there he must draw the line, il is
conceivable that the big monarchies of
Europe hardly use their brute strength
to block the Greeks and by their action
protect the Sultan and aid him to fight
his battle as by inaction they virtually
sustained him in the slaughter Of thous-
ands of men, women and children.
The standing army of Greece is about
the size Of that of the United States but
on q war footing it is estimated that more
that 200, 900 men can be quickly placed
under arms. The Turkish military force
10 four times ss large. The Greeks, how
ever, although they have not SO large
navy as Turkey, are yet superior on the
ses by reason Of the better cond dition OF
their feet and personnel and most likely
in war between the two the navylwould
bear the brunt OF the fighting unless the
Turkish navy should prevail and the
army proceed with the campaign on land.
But Greece Is probably not afraid OF her
hereditary enemy either on tho sea or on
the land. Her people are united ana her
cause is just, while her naval strength,
barring misfortune gives her might. II
only tbs Powers will take their hands of.
