THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.

The plague is a severe contagious fe
YER which has occurred in epidemics al
different times and in different places
1t is characterized by extreme debility
aud by the presence of buboes and car.
burcles. II is of short duration aud e1-
ceedingly fatal. There are few authen.
tic accounts of the disease before the
sixth century. In A. d. $40 the true
bubonic plague was present in its most
severe form in Constantinople. Be
tween that time and the fifteenth Gen.
tury there are but few authentic ac-
counts of this plague, though the black
death, so graphically described by
Hacker, was, in many instances, no
doubt, the true plague. In the six
teenth, seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries it has appeared in Egypt, Ger
many, France, England, Turkey and
Spain. During the present century
there have been eight outbreaks in
Egypt; six in Turkey, besides showing
itself iu Greece, Russia, Germany, Mo-
rocco and Persia. The epidemics most
noted for their severity were the occur
renee in Constantinople in A. D. 542,
and which is called the JUS
;iuian plague; next in England in 1865
and then the epi1emic in France which
commenced in Marseilles in 1920. AL
though we may consider the plague
as a germ disease, and one which eau
aot arise spontaneously, yet the nalady
can only exist when the surroundings
are favorable, as bad hygiene, marshy
districts, moderate warmth and damp
ness. Very hot dry weather as we'll as
very cold weather will lessen the NOR
tallty from the disease.
The first cases in an epidemic are
difficult to recognize, but in time the
symptoms become more marked. The
stage of invasion lasts two or three days;
its symptoms bring loss of appetite, a
feeling Of fullness in the head, and dull
ness of the intellect. Patients have
staggering gait aud appear as if intox-
icated Then the intense fever COM
mences, accompanied with vomiting
sud chills. The debility is extreme.
Shortly after the fever commences in-
llammation of the lymphatic glands
takes place; the glands first affected
being those OF the groin and of the ak
lila. Following the swelling of the
glands is the appearance of carbuncles
on the arms and legs In the most Sc
we're form death has been known to
take place in twelve hours, though in
the majority of fatal cases death occurs
on the third or fourth day. There is
no specific for the plague. Like other
severe fevers of low type it is best
treated by supporting measures.

A VIRGINIA Boys SINGING.-Mr
Thomas Lloyd Dlbney, the great
singer, whose stage name is L'oy d
D'Aubigne. made a great success in
New York last week, singing Faust 10
Calves Marguerite. D'Aubigne is q
native of Virginia, and has many
friends and relatives in this city and
throughout the State. He is Univer-
sity of Virginia man, taught for several
years with Mr.. Thomas II. Norwood
of this city, aud afterward with Col.
Gordon McCabe, in Petersburg. In re
cent years he took up the study OF
vocal music, and was under the most
celebrated singing masters of New
York, England and Italy. He has de-
veloped a wonderful range, and his
voice possesses rare sweetness.
D'Aubigne sang in Faust with Calve,
at matinee last week, it being the
first time he had taken so heavy role
as Faust. His success was commented
upon by Madame Calve and the New
York papers. The next morning after
the performance Mr.. Dabney received a
very congratulatory note from Calve,
concluding as follows:
Mon cher camarade vous aveZ tres
bien chante hier, ct fort bien jone
Jespere que nous renonvellerons cette
heureuse tentative"
Both the New York Herald and
World gave most extravagent notices OF
young D'Aubigne's singing.-RicAmond d

THE BEST SHOE MADE FOR ME-
MAGIC IN CHINATOWN.

There was some fun when Hermann
the Third paid a visit to Chinatown
Tuesday night. Chung Fong, the pro-
prietor of the Chinese Theater, furnish
ed the magician with guide. The
party consisted of the prestidigitateur,
his aunt, the widow of Alexander
Hermann, aud her neice, Miss Sadie
Pallme. AS the party, accompanied by
fifteen newspaper men. was passing
through Pell street Mr.. Hermann seiZ-
ed boy and began 10 taxa whole lot
of things from his pockets. The lad
became frightened to find that he had
had 80 much unexpected property in
his clothing, and fled, bswling, to a
convenient hallway. The episode gath
cred crowd. The visit to the Joss
House nearly resulted disastrously. MIR.
Hermann, in ignorance, walked into
the Holy CT Holes, and placed his
hands among the offerings to Joss dis
played on table. The Cinnamon be-
came excited, and thrust the whole
party into the street.
The next place visited was the res
taurant at No. 16 Pell street. Here
Hermann took from a bowl of chop
suey two eggs, from which he extract
ed two % cent pieces. The proprietor
of the restaurant, exasperated at the
idea Of losing the money, drew knife
and attacked Hermann. The magic
ian took to his heels nobly, and Mrs.
Hermann paciied the rage of the
Chinaman with two other quarters.
This ended the trip. 1t was thought to
be too dangerous to attempt to show
the benighted heather the beauties of
white magic.-N Y. Journal.

AN UNLUCKY THIRTEEN
THAT NUMBER OF THE STEAMER
CASPER'S CREW DROWNED.
Captain and Seaman Rescued After
Floating About ON Bits of Wreck
age for Fourteen Hours.

POINT ARENA, Cal, Oct 23.-Thirteen
seamen, comprising almost the entire crew
of the steam schooner Casper were
drowned early this morning by the wreck
of the vessel. The rocky shore in this
vicinity was strewn with wreckage to-day,
but there was no way of Identifying the
ship until this evening, when two men from
shore who had gone out in a small boat
to rescue any of the crew who might still
be alive picked up Captain Anfindsen and
Seaman Chris Larsen, who had been float
ing about an impromptu raft for over
fourteen hours. To his rescuers, Adolph
Peterson and Henry Anderson, the captain
of the wrecked steamer said that the Cas-
per struck on a reef at 1890 this morning
and seven minutes later capsized. When
she tipped over all the members of the
crew were washed overheard. The steamer
carried fifteen men, but from the moment
the accident occurred the captain has seen
none of the crew except his companion,
Larsen, and has no doubt that the other
thirteen have all been drowned.
When thrown into the water Anfindsen
and Larsen, by great good fortune, were
able to raft some pieces of floating timber.
They succeeded in drawing the boards to-
gether and chung to this improvised raft
from the time of the accident until late this
afternoon While the storm beat about them,
the while being exposed to the most furious
gale of the season. They had almost sue
cumbed from cold exposure and exhaus-
ton and were with great difficulty saved by
their reScuerS. The sea has been so high
all day that it has been impossible to
launch boat from shore, and even this
evening the two men who went out and ac-
complshed the rescue risked their lives in
the breakers Later in the evening the
steamer AlcaZar cruised about the scene of
the wreck, but could find no trace of any
of the other Seamen. The scene of the dis
aster is very dangerous locality for ship
ping and when a vessel is once thrown on
the rocks she is sure TO be doomed and
there is little chance for the escape Of her
or crew.
The Casper sailed from San Francisco for
Usal, where she was to load lumber for San
Francisco She was owned by the Casper
Lumber Company and registered three hun
dred tons.
