MARINA POLONsKY DEAD.
Woman Who Def1ed the Russian Po-
lice For Years In Paris

Paris, Nov. 2.-The death in this city
of the Russian revolutionary woman,
Marina Polonsky, recalls one of the
most remarkable figures in the Nihilist
party of Russia. Twenty years ago
she was obliged to flee to Paris in order
to escape a long sentence for participa-
ton in a Nihilist plot.
In accordance with. her express wishes,
contained in a letter to her friend, the
Nihilist LavrOff, her funeral was with
out the least show of pomp or display
of mourning. She wanted no grafton, no
wreaths, no eulOgies. She left it to her
friend to decide whether it were not
best to cremate her remains and scat
ter her ashes to the four winds.
Despite the efforts of the Russian
consul here to find compromising letters
or correspondence in order to effect her
extradition she managed during her
long residence in the French capital to
keep her rooms free from everything of
an discriminating character. Trust
worthy friends carefully guarded her
papers in their homes in Paris and fur
nished her the opportunity of maintain
ing a secret correspondence with the
Nihilist leaders of Russia.
Nine. Polonsky was in reality the
guiding spirit of all the Nfhilist plots
of the last two decades, and to the last
day of her life, in defiance of the French
and Russian police, she managed to
promote the interests of the European
revolutionists.

HE SAVED MEMPHIS.
How Colonel Waring Rescued the City
From Yellow Fevers Scourge.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 2.-The melan-
chOly death of Colonel George E. War
ing, the distinguished sanitary scientist,
was more than usually distressing TO
Memphis, because of it's peoples tender
regard of him for the work of sanitary
redemption planned and wrought by
him. 1t came about in a manner to i'm
press one as if specially designed by
Providence, following, as it did, the
hideous ravages of yellow fever here in
1888.
The American Health association met
in Nashville in the autumn of 1879, and
a committee of Memphis men, DR..
d. T. Porter, DR.. Thornton and the late
Judge Clapp, went to Nashville for the
purpose of asking that body of scien-
lists to investigate conditions here, and
tell them what should be done to purge
the city of disease breeding conditions.
1t was then the general opinion that
there was no hope for Memphis. There
were even those who went so far as to
express the opinion that congress ought
to take steps to burn the city as a me-
mace to the safety of the surrounding
country.
When the association saw the temper
of the Memphis men their temper was
aroused, and they appointed a commits
sion to come to Memphis and make a
thorough investigation of conditions
Colonel George E. Waring was the SAM
tary engineer who accompanied this
commission, and to his influence with
that commission Memphis largely owed
her subsequent salvation.
a gloomy view of the condition. Colonel
Waring, however, saw matters in a diff
ferent light. He insisted that natural
conditions were all favorable to Memphis
as a healthy locality. He had the cour-
age of his convictions and fought for
them. He knew that a proper system
of sewerage would do away with the ex-
listing malevolent conditions, and he
finally brought the entire commission
over to his way of thinking.
Such firm faith had the leaders of
the work of reconstruction in Colonel
Waring that the city council submitted
to the commission, of which he was the
dominant spirit, the ordinance which
provided for the carrying out of the
system of sanitation recommended.
No time was lost in doing the work.
Colonel Warning made the plans for the
sewers, and they were built under his
personal supervision. Memphis was the
first city to be severed under this sys-
tenn, and the already brilliant reputa-
ton of Colonel Warning was greatly en-
HANGED by the success of hsi plans here.
The radical difference between the
Warning system sometimes called the
Memphis system, because first put in
operation here) and the old systems in
vogue is to be found in the fact that
the former is a separate SYSTEM" al
lowing nothing but sewerage proper to
enter the pipes, excluding absolutely all
other drainage and storm water.

THE PRESIDENTS WAY.

President Mckinley seems to possess
a policy peculiarly his own and one
which is in marked contrast to that Of
his predecessor. He may have got the
idea from Governor Pingree. The Mich
igan governor once said that he endeav-
ors to find out what the people want
and then gives it to them.
The president is pursuing just that
course. He apparently started out with
the purpose of retaining only the island
of Luzon but when he found out that
the people wanted the whole group of
the Philippines he demanded st Of
Spain.
A Washington correspondent of a Chi
cago paper Is authority for the state
ment that the suggestion of paying
Spain $40 600, 600 for the islands was put
out by the president himself as a feeler
and that he quickly discovered it would
not do and has abandoned it.
The report that 5000 offices are to be
taken from the civil service list may
have started in the same way. If the
friends of civil service make their OBJ
jections loud enough, it is improbable
that the thing will be done.
Silence may be construed into as

BALLET GIRLS IN COURT.
IS of Them, from Half Dozen States,
Confront "Fake" Dramatic Agents.

New York, Nov 2.-Thirty-five young
women, all candidates for the stage in
ballet and chorus, some Of them pref
ty, gave an unusually gay appearance
to the Yorkville police court yesterday.
All of them were victims Of a pair of
fake" dramatic agents, one being an
ex-convict.
The men arraigned were John Doyle,
"a years of age, of No. 237 East Twenty
seventh street; Charles Randolph, %
years of age, of No. 165 East Twenty
seventh street, and John Make, of No.
237 East Twenty-seventh street. Alice
Mum of No. 42S West Forty-eighth
street: Elsie McCue. of No. 1890 Third
avenue; Clara Forster of No 159 Tenth
street, South Brooklyn; Dora Young Of
No. 1870 Madison avenue; Alice Wild Of
No. 1878 Third avenue; and Mana and
Helen Dayton of No. 307 Seventh ave-
nue., testified that in answer to an ad-
vertisement for ballet girls they applied
to Doyle and Randolph, and we're all
promised engagements of 90 weeks
Evans & Hoey were named as the men
back of the enterprise. They were to
supply the costumes, and all that was
required was a 50 deposit to insure the
safe return of the costumes. They all
paid the SO. None of the girls implica-
ted Make, and he was discharged. Doyle
and Randolph were held by Magistrate
Meade in $500 each for trial.

TIE DECLINE OF RLoomERs.

The discarding of boomers by the
young woman's gymnasium class Of
Lawrence university at Appleton. Wis.
Is thus commented upon by Chicago
Journals:
It is feared that boomers have re-
ceived their death blow. One of their
greatest strongh'olds was Lawrence un-
iversity, at Appleton. Wis but the
young women students, after three
years of cOnstancy to the straddling
garment, have decided to return to
skirts for their gymnasium work The
boomers viii go into the rag-bag
It is a gTievous happening, for the
bloOmer had its use. 1t was probably
the most efficient protector Of feminine
modesty ever put together. All the
chaperons of Chicago, all the duennas
of Old Madrid, couldn't scare away
bold, bad man as a pair of boomers
could All a chaperOn or a duenna can
do is to act as sort Of unarmed police
man, but a pair of boomers simply de-
vastated whole neighborhood and
swept 1t clear Of male inhabitants, at
least of curious ones, for if a man look
ed once, he either fed or averted his
Mortified gaze to save himself from the
fate of those who met the petrifying
Gorgon.
There are grave dangers In giving up
the bloomer, and it is almost safe to
predict that in the vicinity Of Appleton,
Wis, matrimony will soon be on the in
crease.
