PLAGUE SHIP At NEW YORK.
Steamer StrabO Arrives from Brazil
Infected with Yellow Fever.

NEW YORK, March 2O-The Lamport &
Holt line steamer Strabo. Captain Jardine,
which arrived to-day from Rio de Janeiro,
lost one of her crew from yellow fever dur
ing the voyage to this port While in port
in Rio de Janeiro two of her crew were
taken i'll with symptoms of yellow fever
They were removed to the hospital on shore
just before the steamer sailed from that
port. The Strabo sailed from Rio on Feb.
%. When but few days out the ships
cook, Henry Kearton of Liverpool thirty
two years old, was taken sick with yellow
fever, and although Captain Jardine did all
in his power to relieve the patient, Kearton
gradually grew worse and died on March 2
Captain Jardine, who attended Kearton dur
ing his illness, was taken down with the
dreaded disease on March 2. The attack
was a severe one but the captain rallied
quickly and was convalescent when the
steamer called at st. Lucia March II for
coal. When the Strabo reached port to-
day the health officer ordered a strict quar-
antine of the vessel. She will be detained
for a thorough disinfection, the crews quar-
ters will be fumigated and cleansed and all
the effects and bedding will be disinfected.
The captains room and effects will also be
disinfected. There were no other cases of
sickness during the voyage to port.

THE DECLINE IN STOCKS
HOW WAR FURRY HAS AFFECTED
WALL-ST9REET SPECULATION.
Figures Prepared by Henry CIews,
Who Thinks the Depression Is
Not Wholly Warranted.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-The weekly cir
cular of Henry Clews. issued Saturday,
says: On Saturday a week ago the stock
market reached crisis. The uncertainty
connected with our relations with Spain,
the exciting preparations for war contin-
gencies and the growing belief that the de-
struction of the Maine was caused by an
external force had worked up a feeling of
suspense which it was felt must soon find
an explosive expression in Wall street. In
the midst of this feeling some $4,000 shares
of stocks owned in Europe were thrown
upon the market, with the effect of a gen.
eral fall in prices of two to three points,
which probably would have gone further
but for large purchases to cover short con-
tracts Saturdays prices were the lowest
that have occurred since the date of the
Maine disaster, and therefore may be re-
garded as the elimination of that event up
to date The following comparison of prices
on the 18th of February and on Saturday
last Will show the extent of tie decline since

The school superintendency.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
/ am quite sure the Journal expresses the
general opinion of all who are interested in
our public schools when it says any change
in the SUPPLEMENTARY would be unwise,
especially if that change is in the direction
commonly spoken of. indianapolis deserves
and can command the very highest order OF
scholastic and executive ability, and should
be content with nothing less A man may
rank high teacher yet lack many of the
most important elements of a superin-
tendent But it is in the air that the dis
continuance of Mr.. Goss is fully determined
upon. This brings US face to face with a
condition which should be met heroically
and without fear, favor or affection But
we are confronted at the start by a stub
born subcondition which may lead to an
unwise step which is no solution at ALL but
which Is apt to be mischievous in the end
Mr. Goss is candidate for reelection, as
he has a right to be; this effectually shuts
out from the candidacy for the place the
best qualified men. There is an unwritten
code of honor among the best teachers
which precIudes their allowing themselves
TO be candidates for a place already taken
This is well for the schools. For instance
Professor GosS has Il large circle of friends
some of whom among the best of our
teachers. If he is superseded by place
seeker that at once creates parties so that
a strife which will weaken the schools be-
yond measure. We cannot afford TO foster
strife or create parties in our schools.
But we need not. A dozen or more edu-
Gators of long experience and deservedly of
national fame are at our command. To
mention some without mentioning all might
seem invidious. hence l will mention a few
only as samples. To begin, there is Prof.
Jones, whose SUPPLEMENTARY here was such
u success that we parted with him re-
luctantly. He had the cordial support of
every teacher and nearly every member of
the board He can be had If we want him:
there is Professor Boone long with the
State University, q man of large expert
ence and acknowledged ability; there is
Professor Tompkins, long tried and we'll
known in Indiana. now of the University of
Illinois there is Professor Holman, another
well-known Indiana teacher. l mention
these as representing a class of men within
our reach and all the better prepared for the
place because none of them is seeking Ii at
the expense of displacing Professor Goss.
Whatever we do, let us not encourage fac
lions. II Professor Goss, in the opinion of
the board. is not the man for the place let
us not rend our schools by putting in a man
who confessedly has not the high quail
locations the place demands merely TO give
the anti-Goss party triumph.

Vivette.

'Vivette, or the Memoirs of the Romance
Association is the full title of little book
published by Copeland & Day, Boston. 1t
is literary extravaganza of the most
grotesque, imaginative kind The Romance
Association is an organization which, ac-
cording to its managing director, deals in
romance and undertakes to force fate and
make interesting things happen. This aft
fords wide field for wild imaginings, and
the author of "Vivette' has improved it,
The book has not CLEAN of sober COM
mon sense in it, and, though cleverly writ
ten its motive is undiscoverable. A very
clever feature is a carefully prepared map
of the imaginary town in which the events
OF the story are supposed to have occurred
with an index locating the various houses
mentioned in the text. This helps to give
some air of realism to an otherwise fantas-
tic narrative

The Barn stormers.

Mrs. Harcourt Williamson has undertaken
in this book to picture life as members of
cheap travelling theatrical companies find
1.-THE companies that visit small towns and
play in halls or whatever rooms they can
secure. The accounts of the experiences
encountered by such company travelling in
Ohio, though no doubt somewhat over
drawn. are probably based on actual oc-
currences and are near enough to the truth
TO discourage any reasonable young person
who is willing to begin a hstrionic career
even upon this lowest round of the stage
ladder. The heroine of the story. the
juvenile lady of the Amber company, is
represented as an English girl of good fam
lily who, through untoward circumstances,
has found her lot cast with these uncon-
genial people. The manner in which she is
rescued from her unhappy predioament is
by no means SO close to the lines of proba-
bility as the descriptions of stage life. but
1t is romantic, and more than satisfies all
requirements of poetic justice. Published

Mrs. Thurston,s Funeral.

OMAHA, Neb March 2O.-The body of
the late Mrs. John M. Thurston was fol-
lowed to the grave by a large concourse
of people this afternoon. All Omaha was
out and many from Nebraska and other
States were in attendance. The body was
brought from Washington in special car
this morning. At the house private services
moved to All Saints Church. where Rev.
DR.. Thomas J. Mackay presided over the
for the burial of the dead. In his sermon
the minister referred feelingly to the mis-
sion of Mrs Thurston to Cuba, which cost
her life. He paid a high tribute to her
character as woman and to the intense
patriotism that led her to accompany her
husband on the trip from which he returned
to bury her.

Schooner Overdue.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2O-Some anx-
iety is expressed here for the safety of the
schooner Nellie G. Thurston, now 159 days
out from New York, with a party of Klon-
dikers. The schooner Thomas F. Negus,
which arrived here yesterday from New
Haven, Conn.,. reported that the Thurston
left Playa Parda cove in her company, but
that when about eight miles off shore they
were separated by furious hurricane The
passengers on the Negus expected to meet
the Thurston here. The Thurston carried
nineteen passengers, among whom are Mrs
Bowles. the only lady passenger, and a son
of a brewer named Mills. Shipping men
seem to think that the missing schooner
will put into port within a few days, and
express the opinion that she has met with
adverse weather.
