Stands the Test Of Courage When
ever Under Fire.
The London Lancet has an article
about the bravery of surgeons under
fire. The Lancet's article is about Brit
ish surgeons. 1t applies IN SO far as its
anecdotes go to them, but in its general
terms and it's comments it applies TO
all. We have never read of a surgeon
quailing under fire or deserving his post
in a panic, and what is a grea: deal
more we have never heard of a sur
geon quailing before a hospital or de-
sorting his post, though yellow fever,
smallpox, typhus or cholera threatened
his life and surrounded him with its
horrors. There are many well anthem
ticated stories of the courage and devo.
tion of our army doctors in the field and
hospital. The latter is the much more
trying to courage and fidelity.
The excitement of battle goes far to
keep man at his work, even should he
be disinclined for it. The long dreary
watches Of the hospital. the hard and
lthankless round of duty, the hourly
scenes of horror and possibly the dis
couraging absence of proper assistance
and support from the administration of
the army are what try DOCTORS nerve
and test his fortitude and patriotism.
We do not know why they stand the
test SO we'll better apparently. on an
average, than those whose trade it Is
supposed to be to face death and danger.
But the fact remains that they do. ali

A MILLION MILLION.
How Long, Think You. Would 1t Take
You to Count 1t.

How Long, Think You, Would 1t Take
You to Count 1t.
Professor Wagstaff, whose very name
suggests pleasing first cousinship to
Shakespeare, has lately been amusing
himself and his audience at Gresham
college by speculations as to what might
have happened if the father of our hu-
man race had given up delving and
taken to figures. Let US suppose that
Adam had set himself to count mil
lion million, or, in figures, 1000, 900,
600, 900. We will imagine that he could
count three in a second, which, though
not exactly rapid ciphering, will be
found ample, if taken continuously
Now, if 5000 years have elapsed since
the gracious amenities of Eden formed
the cradle Of humanity, Adam would
have been working for 1926, 900, 900
seconds and have reached total of
SGT, 64S, 900, 900 figures In other words,
his task. of counting million million
would still have been unaccomplished
by over four hundred thousand millions
digits.
All of which goes to prove what!
There are many possible conclusions.
The first is, of course, that Professor
Wagstaff is very ingenious and by NO
means melancholy mathematician, but
that hardly needed proof. A second de-
duction, which we advance with all
humility, is that if: Adam had only had
habitual recourse to harmless dissipa-
ton of this arithmetical kind, instead
of betraying marital weakness and a
fondness for fruit, his descendants
would have been very much better off
morally and spiritually, though not
perhaps in material comforts. And
third conclusion, eminently gratifying
to those who refuse to believe that there
is any serious discord between religion
and science, is that Professor Wagstaff,
no doubt man of distinction in scien-
tific attainments, accepts without any
demur Bishop Ussher's chronology.
According to the divine, the world
was created in 1904 B. c., and that
added to the 1898 years which have
elapsed since the Christian era makes
in round numbers the 5000 years on
which the whole calculation depends.
Some hayward scientists" have dog
matically affirmed that the world has
been wagging along good many more
centuries than usher supposed, al.
though there is serious difference, it
is true, in this matter between the as
tronomers and the biologists. So. after
all, perhaps if Adam had been reason
ably industrious, he would have had
time to accomplish his task, unless his
brain had given way under the strain.
Most of US have such vague ideas as to
the meaning of large figures that it is
as we'll to be reminded by so happy an
illustration how many units go to the
making of million. The only other
conceivable fashion in which such in
struction could be acquired is to become
South African boss" of mines and
diamonds, and that process, much as
we may desire it, is, fortunately or I'M
fortunately, not open to the majority Of
us.-London Telegraph.

GILLETT DISAPPEARS AGAIN.
The Fugitive Cattle King May Be En-
Route TO south America.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Dec. "a dispatch
to the Journal from Chihuahua, Mexico,
states that Grant G. Gillett. the fugitive
Kansas cattleman, has disappeared from the
vicinity of Chihuahua, and is now believed
to be in the City of Mexico, at Mazatlan
or en- route for South America. For ten
days previous to his disappearance, the dis
patch says, GiGllett found refuge on the
ranch of j. M. Fisher, sixty miles south of
Durango Fisher is former Kansan, whose
career in Kansas was not unlike that of Gill
lett. He failed in the banking business at
Abilene in 1889. and the bank has since paid
only per cent. on deposits amounting to
$4,000. Gillett and his companion the
Texas lawyer named Troxel, disappeared
when they learned that detectives from
Kansas City were close upon their trail
The dispatch states that c. A. Schaeffer
tho Kansas City commission man, who went
south with the detectives, succeeded in at
tacEing several thousand dollars which Gill
lett had deposited in a Mexican bank at
TOrreon Mexico and that he also attached
trunks which Gillett had checked at Duran
so. The amount of money which Mr.
Schaeffer tied up cannot be learned, but it
is believed TO be only few thousand dollars.

Prompt Action Necessary to Maintain
the "Open-DOOr Policy
SHANGHAI, Dec. 9.-John Barrett, form
erly United States minister to SIAM has re-
turned here after visiting Picking and the
principal Chinese ports. He says the situa-
ton in China is of the most critical
nature and that Manchuria is no longer
Chinese, but Russian territory. He asserts
that New-Chwang, the chief northern port
for the movement of American products is
also practically Russian and is liable to be
closed any day. The only permanent safe
guard to the paramount American and Brit
ish interests, Mr. Barrett says, is immediate
and united action by the interested govern
ments to demand the integrity of the Chi
nese empire, to enforce reforms in the gov
eminent, to prevent further cessions of
ports and provinces and to insist on the
'open-door" policy in all ports of China in
volving the spheres of influence claimed by
Russia, Germany and France. Otherwise,
Mr.. Barrett contends, the impending pfrti-
ton Of the Chinese empire will seriously cur
tail the field of trade by disastrously af-
fecting American and British influence in
Asia.

THE STATE is GUILTY.
Involuntary MansInughter at the JEFF
fersOnviIIe RefOrmatOry.

The first biennial report of the manage
ment of the Indiana Reformatory at JEFF
fersonville shows that the capacity of the
cellhouses is inadequate. There are but $50
cells in the institution, while the daily aver
age population for the fiscal year ending
Oct. 81, 1898, 500, an increase over the
preceding year of ninety-eight. Superin-
tendent Hert, estimating the population Of
the reformatory for the two next fiscal
years at a daily average Of one thousand
men, recommends that the appropriation for
maintenance during these years, severally,
be $4,000. For necessary improvements and
the preservation of the buildings and equip
ment he recommends an annual appropria-
ton of $4,000. The report speaks favorably
of the parole law and shows that l62 men
have been released under it's provisions
The superintendent says the discipline of
the institution is of the highest order. The
total amount of fines assessed from July /,

RIDERS ARE WEAKENING
STRAIN Is PROVING TOO GREAT FOR
SOME OF THE BICYCLERS.
Several Have Given Up, and the Minds
of Others Are Wandering-Miller
Still in the Lead.

NEW YORK, Dec 9-Before midnight
Miller had beaten the worlds record made
by himself a year ago, and his friends be-
lieve that he will be able to remain ahead
of his own record until the six-day bicycle
race is ended. A large crowd thronged
Madisor-square Garden all day and at mid
night thousands of enthusiasts remained to
cheer on the jaded siX-day riders. Miller be-
gan to gain over his opponents early in the
evening and at o'clock he was only five
miles behind his record of 1897. He then
left the track, remaining off about thirty
five minutes. AT o'clock Turville withdrew
from the race with 1,235 miles to his credit.
AT midnight Miller had 1,7S9 miles and six
laps to his credit, about five miles ahead of
his record at the same period last year.
Waller the second man, had ,749 miles and
eight laps to his credit. He took about half
an hours rest tonight and when he re-
turned to the track appeared to be In good
condition. Miller, however has such a good
lead that unless he should weaken or meet
with an accident he is a sure winner. Pierce
was almost twenty-three miles behind
Waller at midnight and looked very tired.
Should anything happen to Miller Waller
will probably be the winner. If Miller can
keep up the advantage he has gained over
last years record until the end of the race
tomorrow night he will earn a bonus of $3.50
