The PLAGUE ~ ALEXANDRIA.
Consul skinner snys the Mnlady Is Not
prOpngnted by Direct Contact.

Propngated by Direct Contact.
WASHINGTON. July 2o.-Consul skinner Mt
Marseilles sends the State Department the
translation OF report. dated Alexandria.
Egypt, June ~. on tho plague situation in the
latter city. 1t reads:
a fact worthy OF remark since the outbreak
OF tho plague is that the disease does not seem
to be propagated by direct contact. There is
no report Of repeated cases in the same house,
Immediately upon the sending to the hospital
Of individuals suspected to have the plague. all
those who have been allowed to approach
them. and especially those who have inhabited
the same houses. are sent to n aZarctto out
side the city IL seems lnexplicable that no
suspected case has broken out among those
who are known to have hecn in direct contact
with individuals now down with the disease.
The malady seems TO attack certain classes
OF persons. Until now almost as many GrceEs
rs natives have been taken with it. At tho
most. ono or two wives Of natives have been
attacked. As to the Greeks. most Of the cases
are children Of 10 to II years of age groccrs'
more than 30 years Of age. This seems
most extraordinary The hypothesis that
tibles seems most unlikely. because cases

first infected. The others now sick are scat
tered in all quarters of the city, between which
no correlation seems to exist. Considerations
such as the foregoing create in some minds
doubt as to whether the malady now prevail
ing is the plague.
THE municipality and the sanitary service Of
the city display tireless zeal in the present sit
uatiOn. Measures OF prevention have been
taken on every hand, The city il divided into
quarters and at the head Of each are two ply
sicians Visits are made to homes OF natives.
and invalids suspected are Immediately re-
moved to the hospitals. and the most minute
precautions are then taken to prevent the
srrcad OF disease from the suspected habita-
ton. As have explained. all those who have
been in contact with the suspect are sent to a
la2arctto. In order that too great hardship
may not be imposed all persons pat into quar-
antine. and thus prevented from workin are
paid small sum daily. BY this course families
OF suspects are kept in state Of contentment.
"A premium Of , francs t|S cents is given to
any Individual who will inform the authorities
of ca+es OF plague. and a premium Of | franc
10 centsl is offered for tn" head of every rat
dead Of the plague. Until tho present nobody
has claimed this last premium The price is
too small to attract men who might take the
consequence OF coming into contact with the
disease. Although the natives are skeptlcal AS
to the contraction Of the disease from rats.
they are not courageous enough to run the risk
of danger"

OLD AGE PENSION PLAN
Committee Submits n Report Which Seems
to Show Its Impracticability.

SptTdI Cdbk Detpdtch 10 THE SUN.
LONDON. July 29.-The old age pension
scheme is now advanced one complete stage.
but is rather on the road to nterment than to
realization The select committee OF the House
OF Commons agreed on report which even
the stoutest supporters OF tho idea. headed by
Colonial Secretary Cham berain. recognize as
impracticabe. Briefly. the committees scheme
awards from Ave to seven shillings weekly to
deserving poor. Deserving" seems to be In
terpreted to include those who have never
been imprisoned and have not received parish
relief, and poor" includes all those not DOS
sessing an income OF ten shillings weekly. The
recipients must be IS years old and British
subjects.
The committee suggests that the cost fall
half on the local rates and half on the national
erchequer. 1t does not estimate the probable
sum needed, but outside experts say that
f2O,000,000 annually will be needed Even as
Stunning that 100000 900 will be suficient, the
Spectator comments on the public evils OF
raising the sum" rs far greater than tho
evils sought to be remedied."
The report. in fact. is considered to indefl-
nitely postpone the realization ofthe scheme.

The absolute transparency of Words
worth nature was often very amusing
to his friends, since it sometimes
brought him to the expression of opin
ions which seemed Numerically oppos-
ed. Once while he was looking at a
magnificent scene in the lake country
he said to his companion:
''Travelers often make their boast of
Swiss mountains on the ground that
they are two or three times as high as
the English, but 1 reply that the clouds
lie SO low on them that half of them
commonly remain out of sight" The
other answered, perhaps rather dryly:
''That is true"
He made no defense of Switzerland,
mbering that it was folly to
Beard the lion in his den.
The Douglas in his hall.
1t might be inexpedient to do battle
with the prophet and priest of English
ground.
"You cannot see those boasted Swiss
mountains when the clouds hang low, "
Wordsworth continued pertinaoiously.
Certainly not!''
But after pause, he spoke again.
"But must admit, he said, ''you
know they are there" Had he been op-
posed, he would not have withdrawn
an inch. AS it was, his own fairness OF
mind made him retract.-Youth' s Com.
