They were full-grown ducks. and would

SMALLPOX ON THE FRONTIER.
Acting Surgeon Hamilton Writes
From Laredo Concerning IT.


Further official reports received from
several points by the Supervising Surgeon
General OF the Marine Hospital Service de-
scribe the progress OF the smallpox epi-
demic which exists in nearly every town
on the Mexican frontier of the United
States. In some places the people resist
desperately the agents OF the service who
carry out the compulsory regulations re-
garding vaccination. Acting Surgeon Ham
ilton sent a report describing me opposi-
tion shown by smallpox victims and their
friends against being carried TO pest houses
and places OF isolation. Writing from
Laredo. \. NJ. he says:
The State health officer took charge and
he had to call on the United States troops
for assistance. as the people would not be
moved The assistant city marshal was
wounded on Sunday. March 10, while try
ing to keep an ambulance AZ work. and
the ambulance had to stop. as there was
too much excitement ard the mob was
large and beyond the control of the Texas
rangers and the city police. The State
health officer needed more force. and one
troop of the Tenth United States Cavalry
was put at the service of the mayor. On
Monday. March 20. when the ambulance
commenced to move out patients the mob
again became uncomfortable and the cap
tain of the State rangers was wounded
and one of the leaders of the mob killed
and several others wounded. The troops
were called upon and responded at once
and cleared the streets. and there has been
no disturbance since. Notwithstanding all
this trouble, the vaccinating corps. OF
which l took charge for thorough house
toulouse inspection and vaccination. have
had very little opposition. There have
been about twelve or fifteen refusals. which
had to be reported, arrested. and then
vaccinated; otherwise no trouble There

cinated since | commenced, and there

are all this. and because they have been
duped and deceived by Aguinaldo and other
selfish scoundrels, the American people de-
plore the need of using force against them
for the establishment of our sovereignty
We are all proud OF the courage and glad
of the success of our army. but we do not
rejoice in the death of the Filipinos
which is the price of their insane folly.
Nobody would cheer If murderous lunatic
should be shot as his hand is upraised to
destroy valuable life. but 1t would not
mean that nobody approved the act.
This country is positively compelled to
be responsible for peace and security in
the Philippines. There is no honorable way
to escape it. We simply must make it
possible for law-abiding people TO stay
there safe in the enjoyment of life and
property and liberty. That is all we have
tried TO effect. To succeed. we have had
to make war on self-constituted dictator
who has frightened and forced part of the
ignorant population TO offer armed resis-
tance TO our lawful authority. We take
no pleasure in their death, as We did in
the death of the hated Spaniards. but We
rejoice In the triumph of our cause and
glory in the courage and devotion Of our

Animal Weight aud strength.

(From the Boston TTavelcr.)
What does lion weigh" Ask that
question of any acquaintance, and see
what he will say. Those who know the
look of the king of beasts best, and how
small his 1.-the body really is, will proba-
bly, come furthest from the truth. About
300 to $50 pounds is usual estimate. But
this is below the mark. A full-grown lion
will tip the scale at no less than 800
pounds. Five hundred and forty pounds
is the record for an African dion. His
bone is solid and heavy as ivory.
The tiger runs the lion very close. A
Bengal tiger, killed two years ago by an
English officer, scaled $50 pounds A tiger
of this size has, however considerably
greater muscular strength than the biggest
lion. Few people know that a grizzly bear
can give points to any other carnivorous
animal in point of strength A grizzly
bear weighing just four hundredweight
has been watched carrying a heifcr of
more than two-thirds its own weight for
two miles up the most steep and rugged
mountain side and this without pausing
for one instant for rest. The grizzly bear
is the largest and most powerful of all the
bear tribe but his cousin, the cinnamon
bear runs him very close. and the big
white polar bear, though not really so dan
gerous a customer, is capable of perform

Mhn, surxcnns Say.

The inevitable disagreement of doctors
passed into a proverb when the world was
Young. and it has continued through all
the changing modes OF treatment and di-
visions into schools. That medical eH-
perts must disagree is the basis OF the
hopes of lawyers In large class of cases,
and they have never been diappointed.
Therefore, those who have followed the
testimony taken by the Court OF Enquiry
on the beef subject have the novel exper-
ience of noting an agreement concerning
one charge, on the part OF army surgeons.
There is no difference of opinion among
them as TO the unftness Of the canned
roast beef for human food. These sur

BERNHARDT IN YOUTH.
An Old Pen Picture or the Divine

(From The New YORK Sun)

Just thirty years ago Octave Feuillet, in
I letter to his wife. drew the following pen
picture of Nine Sarah Bernhardt. then at
the beginning OF her career:
"A queer girl. indeed. is Sarah. II is the
first time in my long career that | have

Contrary to the habit of all other ac-
tresses, she comes to the rehearsals in full
dress, or at least in a toilet arranged after
her own fashion. She always wears velvet

black lace over her shoulders, and little

fresh flowers in her hand. she repeats her

occasionally with attitudes a la Rachel
At the close of the act she prances about
like ballet girl. skips upon one foot and
then sits down at the piano to accompany
herself while singing a queer negro air.
She has a very sweet voice. Then she gets
up and begins to walk about with long
strides like a clown, laughing in every
body's face and chewing chocolate candy
with which she always has her pockets
filled. At times she takes out q little case

The Two Wars.

There has never been a more untruthful
statement than that the American people
are out of sympathy with the work of our
soldiers in the Philippines. The sole basis
OF the falsehood is that there are no such
mad crowds around the war bulletins to
shout and cheer over every record OF a
beaten and fleeing enemy as during the
Spanish var. Can any man who lays claim
to intelligence be so duh as not TO under
stand the cause OF the difference? II seems
so obvious that it is almost an insult 10
explain.
When We took up Cuba's cause it was be
cause of the shocking, the almost incred-
ible inhumanity OF the Spanish army. Not
content with opposing two hundred thou
sand troops against the little force Of
armed Cubans who had rebslled after un-
ceasing expressions. the Spaniards made
the most cruel war on women and chill
dren. The hearts of Americans were torn
by the recital of common incidents
women deliberately outraged by soldiers at
command Of their officers. women dragged
over miles OF dusty roads tied with ropes
TO the saddles of craven soldiers and wom-
en- and children sentenced to slow starva-
fiou.
These were the beasts our sons were
fighting. and in every heart there was a
noble rage righteous hatred that rejoiced
in every Spsnisrd slain. But there is no
such hatred toward the ignorant and de-
lnded followers of Aguinaldo. They are
not an admirable race OF beings from the
American standpoint, but the fault is not
all their own. We may not blame a re-
pulsivs fool. but we are not compelled to
admire him. They are ignorant because
they have always been prohibited from

4 Vanderbilt Dinner,

The farewell dinner given by young Mr..

his bachelor friends seems 10 be creating
considerable amusement, especially in the
West, where VanderbiIts are not as we'll

this dinner was intended to be something
fine; not an ordinary, matter-o ten

the common or garden millionaire, but a

originality and executive ability, as well
as millions.

SUNDAY. APRIL ?, 1899.
The Universal Easter.

Mankind does not have a monopoly of
Easter. for all nature joins in the cele-
bration-that is, when spring is really
spring and not a relapse into cold and
clustering winter. At such a time there
is a seasonableness about Easter that can
hardly be accidental. Nature could not
have more appropriate symbol OF this
time than the Easter symbol OF the egg,
signifying a new birth. resurrection, an
emergence from 2 period OF solemn medita-
ion into light and gladness. 1t is not
mankind only that celebrates the awaken
ing By new, bright garments, but the
trees and plants and all animate nature
show swelling buds and curling leaves and
all the indications of resurrection.
We might almost believe that in ap-
pointing the time of Easter, man was
moved by his continued kinship with the
world OF vegetation. The person of science
is ready 10 maintain that plants are intel
ligent-thst they reveal motives that sng-
gest the dawn OF conscious existence. At
any rate it is not hard 10 believe man still
retains some relic of a vegetable state.
With the first tender green of spring. when
life is bounding in the woods and fields
after a winters sleep, and when the hiber
mating creatures come out Of their trance
and seek the sun. the human blood begins
10 leap and new impulses stir us all. The
young mans fancy proyerbially turns 10
thoughts OF love. the maiden expends her
fresh energies and her fathers ducats on
suggestive millinery, and the housewife
plans a spring cleaning. Everywhere is
hurry and ambition and joy in mere living.
Life has new interest and the depressious
and forebodings OF the darker days OF
winter are dissipated in the sunshine.
Clearly it is eyerybody's and everything :
season for rejoicing. Il is not idle vanity
that makes the Sunday streets gay with
fresh and bright-colored gowns and flower
ed headwear. but an unconscious obedience
20 the law Of revival that extends through
out the universe To the Church it is full
Of meaning, but not more than to the
birds and plants. II is the triumph of hope
over despair and death. The Christian $
long season OF meditation and self-denial
would be worth little If it were not sue
eeeded by the resurrection. in which is his
promise of life everlasting. This is, in
deed. the purpose OF al Christ's living and
teaching To the people Of all or any
oreeds it has the significance. that there
is no death-that the apparent suspension
OF life is sleep that is TO be followed by
40 awakening: that Joy is the superiative
object Of creation in spite OF the phenom-
enon OF decay. the dead and fallen leaves
of one year giving nourishment 10 the fresh
verdure Of another.

the Christians the German Government
saw itself compelled to authorize the gov
ernor of the German territory in kiao-

This expedition has no territorial eXpan-

protect life and property of German sub
jects, and TO assist in this the Chinese
Government, whose own measures have
proved to be insufficient, notwithstanding
the reiterated and pressing demands di-
