A correspondent Of the Washington
Post gives the following appalling ty-
phoid statistics: Every year in the
United States 400. 900 people are sick
with typhoid fever. Forty thousand Of
them die. They are sick 20 days ON an
average out Of every 1855 days Thus
we have IL, 100000 days Of sickness
from this disease
Every case of this sickness means one
month, generally two months, Of idle
ness If the wages Of the patient are
only so cents = day. there is loss Of
$l5a month. Generally this sickness
means loss Of wages in two months
time of 500 or ESQ. The average loss Of
wages for six weeks would be $50 Add
to this the doctors bill, which il any
where from $50 to $lOO-we will say
500. II the patient lives in the city and
has a trained nurse for only three weeks,
there is another $45. Ten dollars for
the prepared food, ice, milk, etc.
brings this moderate bill up to t165.
Multiply this by the number Of people
sick, and we can see every year In the
United States $68, 200, 900 lost to pa
tients by the inroads Of this one disease.

THE SANCY DIAMOND.
This Magnificent Jewel VIII Re Owned by
Pauline Astor.

This Magnificent Jewel VIII Re Owned by
Pauline Astor.
In the ordinary course Of events Miss
Pauline Astor will some day become
possessor of the most famous and mag
nificent diamond owned outside Of q
crown treasure. The gem in question is
the world famous Sancy diamond, owned
by her father. and were it to appear
among the jewels worn at any court
function or royal drawing room it would
entirely throw into the shade every 9TH
er gem there except the Kohinoor,
which the queen always wears ON state
occasions as brooch.
The Sancy Is a stone which is pos
sessed Of a remarkable history. Weigh.
ing about 81 carats, it at one time
formed part Of the crown jewels of
Duke Charles the Bold Of Burgundy.
and on his death in battle III Switzer-
land was found set either in his helmet
OK sword hilt. The Swiss sold it to the
French king Of the day, and from that
time forth II became one Of the crown
jewels Of France.
1t disappeared ut the time Of the revo-
luton, reappeared at the restoration
and at the time Of tine second revolu-
ton in 30 passed by purchase into
the possession of Anatole Demidof the
Muscovite millionaire. 1t was worn for
time by Deluidoff's wife. Princess
Mathilde Bonaparte but he took it
from her before their separation and
then bequeathed it to his nephew, Paul
Demidoff. The latter sold it in the six
ties for the sum Of 800, 900. a ridicu-
lousy small price, to- the late Sir
Jamsetjee Jejeehobhoy, the Parse mil.
lionaire and philanthropist Of Bombay.
After his demise his heirs put it once
more in the market. and it was pur.
chased by William Waldorf Aston by
private contract, no mention being made
Of the price paid. -Philadelphia Times.

Although il was some time ago he

Many have been the efforts to get track
of it, but all in vain. He has gone to
the expense Of sending to the prison in

vail upon the convict to divulge the
hiding place of the book, but without
success. A persistent search OF the
pawnshops and periodical advertising
have produced no better results
There were flies in that book for trout
and salmon in Irish waters, flies for the
salmon and trout Of the Scotch lakes
and the English streams and flies for
the salmon Of Norway. The favorites
from Maine to California and from one
end of Canada to another were collected
in that wallet-anything and every

There were flies in that book on
which famous bass, trout and salmon
had been hooked. each fly carrying with
it memories Of battles fought from ca

called attention to the fact that It's
Democratic contemporaries in this con-
greasional district are going to ex-
tremes in their campaign against Cap
tain Dovener, and that they are. by
exaggerating the amount of dissatisfac-
ton that may exist in some quarters
among possible disappointed candidates
for place. simply throwing boomer
angs that are sure to rebound upon them
with double force. A striking example
OF the truth Of this is Afforded by card
which appears in the Weston Independ-
ent, signed BY four good Republicans
who were candidates for the pOst-oftice
at that place. It was brought out by
the foolish inquiry contained in the fol-
lowing paragraph in the Weston Demo-
crat:
"HoW are the candidates who were turn.
ed down for the post-otiiees IN the First
Congressional district going TO support
Captain Dovener again? Do they want 20
give him another crack at them by his
reelection to congressT'
The next time the foolish Democratic
organ at Weston is tempted to indulge
in such uncalled for illusions, perhaps
1t will be more cautious, in view Of the
following reply to the above question
from four prominent gentlemen at Wes-
ton, included in the class mentioned,
and who express the sentiments Of all
true blue Republicans They come back
at the Democrat by quoting the above
paragraph and responding in this way:
we are going to support Captain Dove
mar for the same reasons that we have
voted for Republican candidates and Re
publican policies in all the years Of the
past For the Democrat to assume that
we have spent our lives in supporting
Republican policies only In the hope OF
getting office IN return, Is a reflection upon
not but resent. We are Republicans from
principle, and disappointment in getting
an office to which we aspired does not JUS

dIces are out o harmony with the public
good, and whose legislation has proved so

how either II or Its party proposes to re-
ward US, and the people generally, for Yot-

We trust this response is satisfactory
to the fresh Weston Democratic organ.
1t certainly is to all falr-minded clh-
gems, regardless of party, who resent the
insinuation that their fellow citizens
who place party principles above per-
sonal disappolntments. can be affected
by such insulting references.
The above instance IS not the only one
which has served to emphasize the 10y
atty and faithfulness OF Republicans
and Afforded them opportunity to rebuke
the narrow-minded partisans on the
other side for their assumption
that they are Republicans for
office only. A newspaper which can in
dulge in such assumptions gauges the
party devotion of others by It's own
standard Of politics without principle.
