DISEASE IN SUMMER HOMES.
An Expert Says That Fever Spreads
From Hotels and Cottages.

An Expert Says That Fever Spreads
From Hotels and Cottages.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oct. 16-Prof
Charles A. Lindsey. of the Yale Medical
School, secretary of the Connecticut State
board declares that the chief cause of ty-
phoid fever and other infectious diseases
is summer resorts. In his report for Sep
tember he says:
Summer guests are learning to appre
ciate the risks of hotels, boarding houses.
and even their own shore cottages. The
proprietors of the large hotels know that a
case OF typhoid fever would scatter their
guests almost as quickly as confiagration,
and hence they are for the most part kept
with scrupulous and vigiIant attention to
the practice of good sanitation. But in the
cheaper hotels, and especially in the eius-
ters of shore cottages, the violation of sani-
tary law is so frequent and so fragrant that
if they were occupied continuously, instead
of only for a few weeks at a time, they
would soon become dangerously unfit for
human habitation.
THE State board of health OF Connecti-
cut has more than once traced the origin
of widespread prevalence of typhoid fe-
yer TO infection incurred at summer ho-
tel and developed after the return of its
guests 10 their scattered homes

MILLIONS IN PHOSPHATE.
One Tennessee County to Ship One
Hundred Million Tons.


COLUMBIA. Tenn, Oct. 16.-The KIon-
dixie of the South is believed to be
Maury county, Tenn. The phosphate de-
posits in this little county are estimated
to be worth fully $3.50, ,000. 900. and about
100000 090 tons OF marketable phosphate
win be shipped from this field before the
supply is exhausted.
One farmer. in 1898. raked and scraped
to get money to hold his home, only to
find that his home in Mount Pleasant was
built on top of the finest deposit of phos-
phate in the world. II was merely by acct
dent that the discovery was made at Mount
Pleasant. traveller passing through
Mount Pleasant spent the night with
Hon. Scott Jennings, and happened TO no.
tice the resemblance in texture of a stone
which he had picked up TO the Hickman
county phosphate that he had been exam
lining some days before. This led to the
analysis and to the knowledge that there
was bed of phosphate rock at Mount
Pleasant such as the world had never seen
before.
The mining did not begin to any con-
siderable extent until the spring of 1895,
and did not prove profitable for a long
time after that. Every farmer for miles
around Mount Pleasant could pick up the
rock by the wagon load and, as it cost
them nothing. they were willing to take
any price that was offered them The
effect was to depress the phosphate mar
ket the world over.
Men of all kinds and conditions have
crowded here from all sections of the
world, and are engaged in a fierce strug-
gle for share CT the golden harvest which
is being dug out of the surrounding lots
and fields. Columbia, the nearest city,
is about eleven miles from Mount Pleasant
and less than eight miles from the nearest
large mines. Indeed, there are mines on
all sides of Columbia, and the city is feel
ing the stimulating effect of the enter
prise almost as much as Mount Pleasant

Chronic Conspiracy I'm MANILA

The report of an intended native upris-
ing and massacre in Manila, which was
only prevented by the loyalty OF TagaI
policeman, is another warning to Presi-
dent Mckinley to take immediate action
in that quarter, and place in control
man who can command the respect and
fear of the Malay element. Three times
have instructions in the city been checked
by happy accidents. With level-headed,
stern, and vigorous soldier like Miles or
Merritt in command, such q thing would
not be attempted.
1t Is the nearly universal opinion of off,
GERS and men returning from the Philip
pines. that the native contempt for Otis.
whom the Filipinos twist around their
thumbs at will has as much to do with the
present virulenee and strength of the re-
bellion as any other thing. They regard him
as a weakiing whom they can influence for
their advantage, whenever it pleases them;
just as they did last spring when they in
duced him 10 surrender every advantage of
the campaign and stop hostilities in the
last weeks OF the dry season, in order TO
give them a chance to amuse themselves
with Denby and Worcester. Aguinaldo and
his followers, none OF whom is distin-
guished for honesty or the conception of II,
do not understand that Otis is the limo
cent or ignorant tool of the real influence
behind the administrative system in Manila,
which is more corrupt and thieying than
anything ever seen during the rule Of Spain.

money in certain quarters, they are able to
obtain all the arms and ammunition they
need, and that thare are favored persons
near headquarters who are amassing wealth
so fast that they seem to be picking ii up
from the street. All these things, in the
native mind are due to Otis; whereas the
real blame for the reasonable trade with
the rebels, and the reign of smuggling.
bribery, and loot. doubtless lies ar the door
of interested politicians and spectators
who dominate the policy Of the Administra-
ton.
Nevertheless, Aguinaldo and the other
leaders of the insurrection would consider
it a stinging blow TO their cause if Otis
were removed. While he has power to
interfere with the field generals, the reb-
els feel confident that they can resist any
American army, no matter how large or
we'll oficered. That the President insists
upon supporting Otis against the nearly
universal protest OF the American press
and public, in the Island CT Luzon, is ia
ken to mean that he does not want the
insurrection crushed too speedily. a sus-
picion in the same direction is unfortunate
/ Iy growing in the United States.

A VICTIM OF PAREsIs.
United States Attorney Close Taken
to an Insane Asylum.

BUFFALO. Oct. 16.-Emery P. Close,
United States attorney of the Northern dis
trict of New York, was taken to the Buffalo
State Hospital for the Insane yesterday a
victim of paresis. Mr.. Closes friends have
known for some time that he was losing his
mind. Last summer his mental condition
was so unsettled that he had tc leave the
trial of important cases to his office asso-
ciates and seek rest at the seashore He
came back somewhat improved but quickly
declined again.
On Saturday morning he spent two hours
in his parlor shaving himself. Then he
decorated his coat with lot of badges and
election buttons and went down town. He
told friends who enquired after his health
that he was now seven and half feet high
and next week would be worth sic, 900, 000
His conduct became so Irrational that his
friends took him to the asylum Worry
over financial troubles and official duties is
believed to have caused Mr. Closes insan-

Adjutant Generals Office, and hence, Of
course with the subordinate Of that satra
py, Alger. 1t was long time before Mr..
Mckinley would trust him with even q
brigade in the Philippines, and after he
reached Manila, it was another long time
before Otis, who detests competent gen.
erals. would assign him to any work. At
last he was able to get a regiment and
section of battery-this man who has
brilliantly commanded an army in the past!
But, IL is all right now. General Wheel
er is an enthusiastic American and natural
ly an expansionist. His views and express
sions are useful. We hope his commander
in-chief will recognize their value by giving
him decent command.

CHURCH AFFAIRS IN HAWAII.
Results Expected From Bishop Pot
ter's Visit.

ter's Visit.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-It is expected that
during Bishop Potter's stay in the Hawaii
an Islands he will examine thoroughly into
the condition OF ecclesiastical affairs there
SO that he may report at the next general
convention of the Episcopal Church as to
the feasibility OF annexing to the jurisdic
ton Of the church in this country the do
cese of Honolulu. To this work the Bishop
of New York has been commissioned by
his fellow-members of the committee on
the increased responsibilities OF the
church. Ever since the establishment Of
the diocese of Honolulu as part of the
Church OF England under the direction of
the Archbishop of Canterbury, its work has
been partially supported by the Society for
the Preparation of the Gospel in Foreign
Parts.
The present Bishop of Honolulu. the
Right Rev. Alfred Willis, D. D., in letter
ON the future existence OF the church in
those islands. says that it is not Likely
that the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel will longer lend its aid to work in
that mission field, which now belongs to
the American church. He recalls the fact
that that society, which sent miSS!onari S
to America TO establish the true English
Church On TINS sOfl, mas Qone nClllnS 70
assist the church here since the consecra-
ton of Bishop Seabury in 1854. Bishop
Willis has placed a conditional resfgna-
ton in the hands of the Archbishop Of
Canterbury, the condition being that the
resignation shall only take effect when
the American church shall accept the re-
sponsibility of maintaining the bishopFic.
He is willing either to be transferred TO the
jurisdiction of the American church or to
make way for another man. if the general
convention SO DEGREES it.

OF total darkness into mans life. It is not
an arbitrary, but natural, limit on human
exertion, and to take it away would be a
very dangerous thing.
The state Of things at present is that the
main body Of the community does its work
at the natural time while brainworkers
frequently work best at night. They are,
however, but small part Of the COM
munity, and they choose the night for labor
mainly because things are quiet and they
are not interrupted, not because the night
is in itself the best working time. When
a man of this type is able to live in the
country, where he can be quiet and undis-
turbed, he frequently develops tendency
to do his work by daylight.
