A RUNAWAY PRINCESS,

How the runaway PrlnceSSe de chi
may looks and what she says and does
seems to be at present the principal
topic of conversation in Paris society
At Budapest the late Miss Ward and
her gypsy lover have been submitted to
the mercies of one interviewer after
the other Apropos of the eccentric
conduct for which the princess has al
ways been famous since her marriage
with a two-legged antithesls in the
shape of one of the coolest and most
nonchalant cards on record, a good
story has been told of how, during her
sojourn in Brussels, she once
checked the king himself at one of
the court balls Feeling rather neg
lected, she simply demanded His Ma
jesty to trot her down TO supper. One
of the primary reasons the princess
gives for having fallen head over ears
in love with her much-cherished Rigo
is the fact of his having looked so SUI
premely fascinating in the undulating
movements Of his body as he welded
to find poetry in the swaying to and
fro of swarthy- skinned Bohemian.
The f1y-away couple are compelled to
plan ali kinds of lodges to escape the
unwelcome attentions of the gaping
Budapest crowd One evening there
were at least two thousand people con-
gregated outside the hotel, waiting to
see whether the transatlantic beauty
and. her lover would leave their den.
So as to get rid of the curieux and
serve them a smart little trick, the
Princesse de Chimay ordered the pro-
prtetor to dress up one of his women
clerks in some of her own rlcn attire,
and hand the make-believe princess
into a carriage at the door. AS in
structions were hen giver. for the
coachman to drive Off as quickly as
possible, the mob, of course, concluded
that the exquisitely frocked lady was
no other than the heroine of the hour,
and rushed after the conveyance An
other amusing incident is the one con
corning the Princesse de Chimay's
boots that were placed outside her
door to be duly cleaned. One of the
walters appropriated the dainty bot
| tines. taking them down into the res
taurant, where they were handed
around and religiously admired by the
public, who at least found some corso-
lation in being able to gaze at the
shoe-leather of RIGGS lady love. The
Parisians are, by the way, much
amused at the proposal Of the hotel
proprietor. who offered his distin-
guished runaway visitors board, lods-

ants would only consent to take their

Why 1t is SO Called.-Its Characters
tics, It's Origin, and the Means of
Preventing 1t.
Without entering into the discussion
as to whether or not all epidemics styled
plague" in Biblical and medieval
literature were of the nature of the
bubonic plague of recent times, there
can be no doubt that since 1850 the
name plague" has been applied to a
definite train of symptoms which are
considered to constitute specific
disease. During different outbreaks
some one symptom attains a fatal pre-
eminence, but not to the exclusion of
others, which might at any time assume
the death lead and serve to baptize the
disease as "bubonic," "hemorrhagic,' y
"typhiodal" pneumonia" and so forth
The name plague" however, is not
one which helps us to place the COM
plant in its proper scientific niche in
the category of disease. The word con-
veys the idea of an unusual disease, at
lacking many persons and attended by
a high MOI tality, but that gives it nc
scientific value, any more than the
wan yik" of the Chinese. Were l to
to attempt to classify plague l would
place it among the specific fevers and
particularize it under the name poly
Admits" and individualize it still fur
ther as malignant polyadenitis.' 1t
may be objected that Admits is not
always present, that many plague
stricken patients die before the glands
are even swollen, and that therefore
the name is defective; but it is needless
to point out that in many diseases the
most typical of symptoms are at times
absent and yet the cases can be classed
with their kind. To justify the prefix
poly" to the word Admits it is nee.
essary to remember that although one
gland alone may be clinically apparent.
most, if not all, the Emphatic glands
are found to be enlarged at the post
mortem examinations. The most re-
pcent report in regard to this subject is
interesting: 'Thirty-three cases (22 per
cent? were received without "a proper
bubo In most of these cases multiple
adenitis was found. the general size of
the glands being that of a lentil In
the latter stages of the disease other
bubos formed in different localities and
complicated the case; ninety per cent
of the cases showed swelling of the in
testinal bronchial and mediastinal
glands in different stages
The term "bubonic'' so frequently ap-
piled to the disease is not so appro-
pirate as would at first appear Bubo
is essentially the swelling of a gland
caused by the entrance of septic
materials in the tract of lymphatics
over which the gland presides. This
cannot be said in plague, for the So
called bubo of plague can in no sense
be regarded as a sympathetic swelling
but merely the outcome of blood
poison. If it is to be classed a bubO at
all it must be distinctly understood to
be an 'idiopathic'' bubo, a true ''buboa

Feature in Stock Dealings Marked by
Steady Advance In Railway bonds.
New York, Feb, 1.-The feature of the
day in stock and financial circles was
the enormous demand and steady adj
vance in railway and miscellaneous
bonds. The transactions in this depart
ment of the stock exchange footed up
the large total OF $3,95S00O, and the
business was unusually we'll distribut-
ed.
Foreign as we'll as local houses We're
in the market for good bonds and in
many cases owing to the advances in
price commission orders could not be
executed. One explanation for the ac-
tivity is that capitalists, dissatisfied
with the rates obtained in the money
market, are seeking other outlets for
their funds.
To-day under this buying an advance
of 1a@42 per cent. took place. The i'm
provement was not confined to the gilt
edged issues by any means, but, the
specialties also participated in the up
ward movement.
Stocks, on the other hand, were If
regular, but in the main were firm
The irregularity was attributed to the
desire of the senate committee to
amend the general arbitration treaty
London firms sold fairly large amounts
of the international stocks on this ac-
count, and professional operators
short in the market attempted to force
lquidations. But little impression was
made on prices except in few in
stances.
Manhattan, Lackawanna and Tobac-
co, however, were rather feverish and
did not reach the support accorded the
general list. There was good buying of
the Northern Pacifics and the new pre-
ferred rose to within fraction of 80.

demblee." One never speaks of the
buboes of tertiary syphilis or Of scrof-
ulous buboes The terms may be clint
oally correct, but they are not in COM
mon use; they have, however as much
right to be cal ed bubonic as the gland
ular enlargement in plague, With these
considerations before us would
venture to name the disease malignant
polyadenitis, in the hope that atten-
ton may be drawn to the naming oil
disease by more competent students
than myself.
Plague or malignant polyadenitis we
may define as an acute febrile disease
of an intensely fatal nature, character
lied by Inflammation of the Emphatic
glands, marked cerebral and vascular
disturbances and by the presence of a
specific bacillus,
The cause of plague is the advent oi
a definite bacillus, and 1t is the life
history of this bacillus which must in
future occupy the attention of bacteri-
ologists and clinical observers. The
proximity of the bacillus is at the
present day known only by its effect on
lluilldI DellSS, anu, IL may pS, Oll ia
as well. What fosters it appears to be
bad sanitation; once established time
alone will stay its ravages so far as
any given epidemic is concerned but
there seems every hope that improved
sanitation will check its occurrences.
The produromata of plague may be
divided into the remote and the imme-
date, but l will consider them together.
Time and again has it happened thai
before an outbreak Of plague, during
a period varying from a few months tc
several years, buboes with fever have
been observed in more or less epidem-
ic form. In 1877 tn variety of plague
which infected Astrakhan previously

died from the disease per Sc, and but
few people were confined to bed. Should
such another outbreak take place il
the neighborhood the diagnosis will be
readily cleared UP by an examination
of the blood, the tissues and the excre-
tions.-London Lancet.

Titusville Advocate.
Some of the prominent farmers Of
Evinston are organizing stock COM
pany for the purpose of planting to-
bacco according to the Cuban process.
They are in receipt of a proposition
from tobacco grower of experience.
The proposition in substance is to get
a sufficient number of growers inter
ested to plant fifty acres of tobacco.
If they get the land free of rent they
will erect and establish a model farm
of from three to five acres, where
they will grow tobacco from Cuban
seeds according to the method of cul-
tvation, and give information to the
farmers in that vicinity or any and
all points. The farm will be open TO
inspection to any one at any time.
They will also put in large seed bed
from which they will sell young
plants to those wishing to grow to-
bacco, or they will sell the seed to
them direct.
Tuesdays southbound train ran in
to a trestle about eight miles north
of West Palm Beach, with the result
that the engine was turned over and
the baggage, express and mail cars
were thrown off the track. f. w. Ma
son, the engineer, was seriously scald-
ed and the baggage master and mail
clerk were bruised, but happily no
other personal injury was done. The
bridge was burning at the time OF
! the accident, but the engineer thought
| it was pile of old ties just near by,
and in consequence did not pay much
attention to it. When too late to
rectifv his mistake, he put on all
| steam and endeavored to carry the
train over but did not succeed.
The engine got safely over, ten turn
ed upside down, penning the engineer
under his box, but the remainder OF
the train was thrown off the track

was no loss of life.-Titusville Advo

HI. HI. Thorp says he saw six large
manatees or seacows within 20 feet
of the end of his dock at Silver Beach,

hour they swan leisurely up the riv
er.
There is an effort on foot, backed
by prominent business men of Cedar
Key, to extend the FIT. White and

tend it there. He has also received a
similar proposition from the business
men of Bronson.
The price of mullet has risen in the
