doctors outside read them and have

Then the prescriptions are placed on
the window ledge, from whence they
are removed by those inside. Food Is

and others tried to escape, but were

1t is feared that the precaI tons were
taken too late. Herr Barisch was i'll

symptoms, visited friends, rode in pub

The excitement in medical circles is
tremendous. The chemist, Prof. Hof-
ritz Luding, has made a pathetic
speech, during which he expressed the
hope that the doctors Of Vienna will
prove themselves equal to all emer-
geLcies. This reveals the fact that 1t
is the. opinion of medical men at the
Austrian capital that the plague is
likely to spread in that city.
Another significant indication OF
this apprehension is found in the fact
that temporary hospital, consisting
Of several detached sheds, was hastily
erected during the past few days, be-
yond the infectious to5pi a..
A painful feature of the Viennese
situation is the INSCRIPTIONS attitude
Of the anti-Semite newspapers which

riots against the Jews, if the disease
spreads.

Vacation Trip.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Bishop Leighton Coleman, of the Episcopal
diocese Of Delaware, returned last night
from his annual outing. 1t has been the
custom CT the bishop for years to make an
annual tramp incognito, and he has had
many and amusing experiences.
On his present trip the bishop Travelled on
foot 2S5 miles, in Maryland and Virginia and
ieft washington two weeks ago, and went
by train to Martinsburg, w. Va, and from
that place his tramp began.
The bishop went in the direction of Graf

which he crossed several times. He retraced
MS ,S steps to Cumberland, Md, and returned

that his best friends would scarcely have
recognized him.
The queerly clad stranger puzzled many
folks along the route he Travelled. Farmers
offered to give him a ride, and could not
understand why he preferred to walk. Some
thought he was real estate prospector He
was often an object Of pity on the part of
the people, and many CT them expressed SYM

bishop would be offered money by the farm

One night darkness overlook the bishon
on a walk and he applied to farmhouse
for lodging, but the place was full ard he
could not be accommodated. He was not al
lowed to sleep even on the floor. Taking I'm
his staff the bishop continued his tourney
IN the darkness until he came to a dilapf-
dated looking barn. He CROPPED his way into
the building, and, picking out some new
hay, made bed, and the crickets sang him
to sleep. Most of his nights however. he
spent In farmhouses. and he found the pso-
pie hospitable.
On another dark night he was again
caught with no place to sleep. Finally he
reached an old schoolhouse in a lonely road.
The teacher had left one Of the windows
open. Climbing in through the window the
bishop passed the night on the hard floor.
In speaking of the trip Bishop Coleman
says that once he met family, consisting
of a father, mother and six large children
none of whom could read or write The mar.
ents had not permitted the children to at
tend school because they could not afford
to buy them clothes.

This prejudice, which was deeply rooted
among the sea-going community in many
parts OF the country, existed not long ago
IN Cornwall. 1t is found, too, among French
sailors and the boatmen of the Danube and
is widely credited in Russia.

One day a drunken man walked into the

Saturday was a surprise to his friends in
this country. He had not intended to sail
until December. when Archbishop ireland, of

The hurried departure, a prominent Catholic
clergyman said, was due to the fact that he
was summoned to Rome to make report on
the state of feeling in America in regard to
the annexation Of the Philippines and the
attitude of the American people towards the
Catholic church in Cuba, Porto Rico and
other new American possessions.
Archbishop Kean attended the meeting of

terror at the Austrian capital. Five
cases, in addition to that Of the late

have now occurred. They are two
nurses, another assistant, DR.. Bar

spot, and he survived all the dangers
there. The disease at Vienna has as

no boils,. but each case is accompanied
by high fever and blood-spitting
