Why the Plague Rxcites Terror.

In the Hong Kong epidemic the
Chinese servants In European houses
enjoyed n marked immunity, and
there was never any scarcity OF domes-
tic servants. The house of n Euro
pean was looked upon as q sanitary
haven of immunity, but even this does
not obtain in Bombay, where there
seems no safety except in fight. The
danger of such a procedure is but too
evident, and we are quite prepared to
near of baneful results in the surround
ing districts.
4 graphic picture of what an cpl
demic of plague means il conveyed in
the following story, published in the
Daily Mail, which must be but one of
scores of similar incidents. "a Hin
doc clerk went to the burning ground
for the purpose of cremating the body
OF his father, who had died of plague.
On his return he found that in the
mean time his mother FAD sickened
and died, while shortly afterward his
wife was attacked, and in few hours
was dead also. The clerk himself and
an uncle OF his are now down with the
disease"
Incorrect returns are held to be the
explanation of the increase of the NOR
fality Tor diseases other than plague.
Any one who has had to deal with ma
lives, especially natives of India, dur
ing plague epidemic well knows how
they assail their medical men and
sanitary inspectors with prayers aud
heartfelt beseechings not to pronounce
heir illness to be plague. BY so doing
.he patient is not only removed FROM
The house. but all the occupants Of the
house are put to considerable incon-
Venience, annoyance and expense by

addition, their goods and chattles have

The Mary Baldwin Seminary

The death of Miss M. j. Bald
win, Of Staunton, Va, while it
removes a valued educational
force from the field, will not inter
rupt the work of the institution
to which she devoted so much
time and thought. The trustees
of the Mary Baldwin Seminary,
at StauntOn, and the executors of
Miss Baldwin's estate announce
that before her death the late
principal matured her plans and
contracts for the conduct of the
school and she has bequeathed to
it a large endowment, ample
enough to assure it's permanence
and increased usefulness. No
changes in the high aims and ad-
vanced methods of the seminary
courses for young women are pos
sible and none have been thought
desirable. Ine entire corps of
teachers and employees will be re-
tanned, and the executive over
sight will be vested in a COM
mittee of the trustees and Miss
Baldwin's executors, consisting
of Rev. G.. w. Finley, D. D.,
Judge Charles Grattan, Henry
A. Walker, Rev. A. M. Fraser,
D. D., Henry D. Peck, Joseph A..
Waddell and Alexander f. Rob-
ertson. When the Seminary re-
opens on September 1st, Miss
Ella G. Weimar, the acting prin-
cipal, will continue the duties she
performed during the illness of
Miss Baldwin.
