NO DANCER OF THE PLAGUE
India's Scourge Is Not Likely
to Reach America.
IT THRIYEs BEST IN FILTH
There Need Be No Fear of the Pest
Finding a Footing Among the PeO-
+ pie of This COuntry-SanitaryC Con-
ditions Here Would Soon Sta amp 1t
Ont, Even If 1t Came.

New York, Jan. 21.-The alarm eX-
pressed in Russian newspapers that the
bubonic plague may spread from India to
that country and the rest OF the world
apparently finds little counterpart in this
country Perhaps as sensitive register
of public feeling as could be found is
the experience of the steamship conf
panes. Inquiry today at some OF tiie
principal steamship offices brought the
information that transatlantic passenger
traffic had not been in the slightest de
gree affected by the existence of the
plague.
Mr. Boaz of the Hamburg American Line
secuted the idea OF any danger He hoped
tile newspapers wouldno senselessly alarm
the timd and anxious minded and ruin
business as was done by some sensational
papers at the time OF the cholera scare.
AR Boaz seemed surprised that any fear
should be felt ''India,'' said he, lis
long way off and precautions are taken
to prevent the spread Of the disease"
There was much more matter about the
plague, he said, too in American than in
little attention was paid TO tile subject
and little interest felt.
Several of the steamship MEN referred
to the reassuring statement made today
by Health Officer Doty, who has just re
turned from tile East. DR.. Doty said that
the disease was one which throve in
the presence or filth and famine; that in
India it had not been subjected to careful
sanitation and policing; that patients had
not been cared for in the way of proper
food and medical treatment, and that the
officials had not had the co operation Of
the natives. These neglects were among
the most potent agencies in the propaga
ton of tie disease, and as these agencies
did not exist to any extent in this country
the disease, even if it reached these shores,
would not receive the encouragement OF
these conditions.
As the period Of incubation of the plague
did not exceed ten or twelve days, and
as more than this period was ordinarily
consumed in a passage from the Mediter-
ranean ports, and even from Hamburg,
it was evident that an infected person
embarking at any OF those ports would be
almost sure to be taken i'll before the
vessel reached this country, which would
servation of the quarantine officials
Should the disease reach this city or
Brooklyn, the almost perfect methods OF
isolatiDg ana caring for cases would, lie
thought, prevent any spread of the dis
ease. He felt, therefore, that there was
no cause for alarm

NECESSITY OF The LIBRARY
Mr.. Spofford Delivered a Lecture
at the Catholic University.
Compliment Paid to Institutions
of Learning = Have Not Yet
Reached the Standa rd.

Librarian o. Congress AinswoTth r. Spot
ford delivered the first of series OF
weekly lectures at the Catholic University
yesterday Afternoon. Hissubject was The
Library and the University Mr. spofford
said, among other things:
Take out OF the worlds literature the
looks written by men of training or ex-
perience and you would lessen its value
TO an unreasonable degree. The university
has not only been Il foremost and perennial
contributor to our stock OF ideas as ex-
hibited in Looks, but through its function
OF instruction it has trained up ercatarny
OF thinkers and writers. Indeed, when
consider how wide and potential is the in
fluence of universities l Go rot hesitate
to avow that the vocation Of the university
instruction is the notlest profession in the
world
The limitations Of our institutions Of
learning are only too apparent. They are
hampered in every way; some by lack Of
means, some by lack OF books, some by
lack OF knowledge, and Some by lack OF
those great souls, dedicated to the service
of mankind, who are ready TO sacrifice
all things, even themselves, 10 keep bfiShJ
and burning the sacred flame of learning in
the world. None will own more frankly
than those who are at the mead Of them,
that our universities are as yet far from
that higtt-water mark OF university culture
at which America should aim. Whether the
university, which is now founded here,
under the happiest auspices, VIII reach
that mark, it is yours to demonstrate.
The great adjunct OF the university is
the library, in whose repositories are
gamered up the books which represent the
whole product of the human mind for six
thousand years. Thelibrarian thus becomes
a humble member of the wide Community
of scholars, to whose ranks you are grac-
iously pleased to welcome him as an as
sociate in the noble enterprise OF the
diffusion of knowledge among men,

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery, But Not a Patent
Medicine,

A New Discovery, but Not Patent
Medicine.
DR. Redwell relates aninteresting account
OF what he considers remarkable cure of
acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspep-
sia by the use of thefnew discovery, Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
He saws: The patient was man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed
to sour and create acid and gases in the
stomach: he had pains Ike rheumatism in
the back, shoulder blades and limbs,
fullness and distress after eating, poor ap-
petite and loss of flesb;Bthe heart became
affected, causing palpitation and sieeplcss-
ness at night. 80
/ gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an
experiment 1 finally bought fifty-cent
package OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
a drug store and gave them to him. Aim ost
immediate relief was given, and after he
had used four boxes he was to all appear
ances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour watery
risings. no bloating after meals, the appe-
tite was vigorous, and he has gained be-
tween 10 and 2 pounds in weight of solid,
healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drug stores, yet 1
consider them most valuable addition to
any physicians line OF remedies, as they
are perfectly harmless and can be given to
children or invalids or in any condition Of
the stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but yege-
table and fruit essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal.
without any question they are the safest,
most effective cure for indigestion, bill
iousness, constipation and all arrangements
of the stomach, however slight or severe
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by
the Stuart Company OF Marshall, Mich, and
sold by druggists everywhere at fifty cents
per package.
Little book on stomach diseases mailed
free. Address Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.

TO PLEAD woMAN,s CAUSE.
A Committee Appointed to Secure
Mrs. Charlotte Pc riinS Stetson.

The District Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton held a special meeting in the pariors
of the Riggs House last night for the
purpose OF appointing committee TO Sc
cure Mrs. Charlotte Perkins StetsOn, the
daring humorist OF reform, TO lecture here
some time in the future, the date TO be
announced later.
Mrs. Stetson first became known to the
public about six years ago. She was a
new figure then from out Of the West,
where everything is new. She was
woman armed with the keenest weapons
of wit and satire With fierce enthusiasm
she threw herself into the labor agitation
and from that on she has championed la
bor's cause. When it is mentioned that this
is the woman who wrote similar Cases. :"
''The Wolf at the roor,' Charity" and
other poems no more need be said.
Her lecture and view of women in Evo-
luton is a wonder. She has lectured
in nearly every city of prominence and
before some Of the greatest scientific men
of the age oil the world over, and by
them has been pronounced marvel.
The committee who were appointed TO
secure this talented woman are: Mrs
Thompson, chairman; Mrs. Mccormack,
Miss Williams and Miss Raymond.
Tie following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, By the District Of Columbia
Woma Suffra ge Association that we highly
approve the new Angio-American treaty
for a general arbitration treaty between
the two countries, which was signed at
the State department January IL, 1887,
and earnestly request the United States
Senate to promptly ratify it,
This was not passed, however, without
q strong objection from a number OF the
ladies present, who thought that the United
States had better wait few days until
the Venezuelan question had been settled.
Among the ladies present were: Mrs.
Lockwood, Mrs. Cheshire, Mrs Thomas,
Mrs A. johnson, Miss Raymond, Mrs. j.
L. Monroe, Mrs. Case, Mrs. Powell, Mrs.
Ketchem and Mrs. Wright.
