The disease prevails from one end of the
town to the other The Bedford physicians
disagree, some pronouncing it to be chicken.
pox and others a harmless skin disease. DR..
Atkinson, state health inspector, SAYS il is
genuine smallpox. Men, women and chill
dren, he declares, with smallpox crusts on
their bodies and faces have been travelling
the streets day and night and visiting from
house to house, unconscious of the true ma
ture of their aff1iction. The whole town is
now closely quarantined, policed and guard
ed, and vigorous measures will be prosecut.
ed to check the plague. The danger to the
whole central part of the state is manifest.

Is Not an Admirer of the American
Volunteer

BERLIN, Dec. S.-Count \. Won Goet
zen, former military attache at the German
embassy in Washington, who was com
manded by Emperor William to accompany
the United States army during the Spanish
America war for the purpose OF observation
addressed large and distinguished audi
ence this evening at the Kaiserhof, on 'The
New Colonial Power"
Although most of his hearers were mem
bers Of the Colonial society, there were some
300 military men present. The lecture,
which dealt largely with the war, was illus
trated by photographs which Count Goet.
zen took personaly-views of the embaIka
ton at Tampa, the camps, the landing in
Cuba and scenes Of the fighting around San
tiago.
The lecturer spoke sympathetcally of the
American army and navy, except so far as
the volunteers were concerned. He said the
only good volunteers were the rough riders
He severely condemned the insurgents
who, he said, rendered little assistance tc
the Americans. lie did not see single

the officers.

MILES GIVES REASONS
Why the Army Bill Should Be Passed
atOnce

WASHINGTON, Dec. Seen. Miles ex.
poets to appear before the House Military
Committee in few days to set out per
sonaly the reasons why he thinks his army
bill should be passed. The most urgent is
the fact that Immediately upon the formal
announcement of peace between the United
States and Spain the United States army
may be suddenly reduced, almost third
and at time when the need of troops fol
garrison purposes is still pressing. This
statement does not apply to volunteer
troops. AS stated by the President in his
message. they having enlisted fer the war
must all be discharged But when the War
Department, acting under the authority con
ferrcd By Congress at the last session, sought
to recruit the regular army to a war foot
ing. to stimulate enlistments, il pledged
itself in formal order to discharge upon
his own application any recruit who wished
to leave the service upon the conclusion OF
peace, although the nominal term of en-
lstment was for three years. General Miles
will refer to the present prospect of con.
clusion of the negotiations at Paris, and
the signature of the treaty of peace as an
evidence of the necessity for speedy action.
He will also urge that provision be made
tor the fertilization of Manila.

FORTY DAYS OF STORMS
FIND CAPT. TIBBETT GLAD TO BE
ALIVE
The Crew of the Mildred Safe in Port.
Londonian Passengers Not
Sd Lucky

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Within short
sailing distance OF this port and twice beat
en- back, after two months voyage, was
the story told by the little schooner Mil
dred, which has arrived here tifty-siX days
out from San Bias, Central America, with a
cargo of cocoanuts. The crew was forced
to use cocoanut milk in place of water, the
meat for food and the shells for fire. Cap
tain Tibbett, OF the schooner, said as he
landed:
Thank God, it is all over now. | never
expected TO get in here alive"
According TO the account OF the voyage
given by the captain, the Mildred as soon
as she left San Bias, encountered rough
weather. December 9TH the little schooner,
out of provisions and with the crew exhaust
ed and discouraged, arrived OFF Cape May.
There she fell in with the pilot boat Phil
adelphia, which supplied her with provis-
ions and water. For a number OF days the
provisions and water on the Mildred had
been exhausted and the men had lived on
cocoanuts. The shells, as well as some of
the woodwork of the ship, were burned in
the galley fire, in order to give warmth to
the men, who had for nearly forty DAYS
been in the midst of a series of storms The
little food furnished to the crew by the pilot
boat was enough to keep them from starva-
ton and to give them courage to proceed
on their voyage to this port. Once more
the Mildred started on her way, only to
meet d heavy storm again. This time the
captain put in for shoal water and anchored.
The storm increased, and both the anchors

libbett then ordered all the sail remaining
set, and managed to work the vessel out
to sea. Finally the tug Protector was sight
ed and she brought the Mildred into port.

A WOMAN'S CAMPAIGN
AGAINST SEATING ROBERTS OF
UTAH
NOW ORGANIZING FOR ACTION
tVhe Mans Practice and Advocacy Of
Polygamy the Good Reasons for
the Movement

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-The Herald tomor-
row will say.
Efforts to prevent Brigham il. Roberts,
representatveeect from Utah, taking his
seat in the Fifty sixth congress because he
is polygamist and advocates that doctrine
of the Mormon church. is to have the or
ganzed support of hundreds of thousands OF
women in the United States. The Initial wo-
mans movement is to take organized Iorm
in this city at meeting of the Presbyterian
woman's board of home missions on De-
cember Goth.
There are a hundred thousand members
of the Presbyterian Home Mission society
alone in the United States. The home mis-
cion societies of the Congregational and Bap-
tist churches are preparing to make similar
campaign against Roberts and the women S
societies of other denominations are becom-
ing interested in the fight 1t is intended
that all shall cooperate.
The Congregational Home Missionary So
ciety will take the matter up at IA meeting
to be- held at tn. ST. Denis hotel in January,
This movement is not to be confined to
missionary societies, but is to be started
through them as a convenient way OF arous-
ing interest over the entire country.
The women are 10 give information regard
ing the Roberts case and the supposed danger
of the revival of polygamy, and to unite IN
obtaining personal letters to representatives
in all districts throughout the country, pro-
testing against the seating of an avowed
polygamst.
Rev. William S. Campbell, who has spent
twelve years in Utah among the Mormons,
is in New York, taking an active part in the
fight against polygamy. He, with another
speaker who has lived among the Mormons
will probably address the coming meetings
Mr.. Campbell will dwell especially on the
revival of polygamy in Utah. He says that
the presbytery of Utah is in touch with only
seventy of the $40 postoffices in Utah. Re
ports received from these show 2000 cases of
polygamy and that 1000 poygamist children
have been born since Utah was admitted to
statehood in 1895
In the women's fight against Roberts it is
to be urged that if he is seated the Mormon
church will. grant dispensations to many
men to take more wives. Missionaries who
have been studying the Utah situation say
that many polygamsts are now making ar
rangements~to that end.
Mrs. Darwin X. James, president of the
woman's board of home missions will pre-.
side at the meeting on December Goth in the
PRESBYTERIAN building.
