STUDY OF TROPICAL DISEASES
Medical Expedition That VIII Go
Around the World

Baltimore, March 21.-Members of the
expedition which will go to Manila for the
Johns Hopkins University will meet in Chi
cago tomorrow and start on their long jour
ney. AS has already been announced. the
purpose of the expedition is to study dis
eases prevalent in the tropics by modern
methods, clinical as well as pathological.
From Chicago the party will go to St
Paul and there take the Canadian Pacific
Railway. From st. Paul they will go to
Vancouver and take the steamer Empress
of India, which sails from Vancouver
March q. Yokohama and Kobe, in Japan,
and Shanghai and Hongkong. China, will
be points where stops will be made in the
journey. From Hongkong the party will
go to Manila, and, after making their in
vestigations, will return to take up the
rest OF the globe-circling route of the
Canadian Pacific Railway.
Leaving Hongkong they will sail through
the China Sea 10 Singapore, thence through
the Straits of Malaeca to Penang, on the
Malay Peninsula, and out into the Indian
Ocean. Colombo. on the Isle of Ceylon,
will be q break in crossing the Indian
Ocean. and the party will then make for
the Gulf of Alden, stopping at Alden, in
Arabia, before going through the Red Sea.
The Suez Canal will take the party from
the Red Sea out into the Mediterranean
and thence the route will be through the
Straits of Gibraltar into the North Allan
tie Ocean. with London as an objective
point. and from this city across the At
lantie to New York and back to Baltimore,
completing the trip around the world
There will be five in the party, and
through tickets for the trip are furnished
them on starting. In ticketing such a
trip the marvellous organization in which
the transportation interests are concern
ed appears. The arrangements for the
party were made by Mr.. C. G. Osburn, Bal
timore agent of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, and this is said to be the first time
that a party of five bought trip tickets
around the world. In the party will be
Dr. Simon Flexner, professor of pathologi-
cal anatomy and resident pathOlogist of
the Johns Hopkins Hospital; DR.. l.. F.
Barker associate professor of anatomy and
assistant resident pathologist of the Johns

A COUNT SENT TO SING SING
Marian de Zaremba Gets Three
Years for Stealing

New York. March 21-"Count" Ma
rian de Zaremba, who lived like a
prince at Saratoga where he met
Miss Josephine Sayin. daughter of Frank
Sayin, millionaire, whom he afterward
married, was yesterday sentenced TO three
years in Sing Sing Prison for grand lar
ceny. by Judge Newburger in Part 3. of
the Court of General Sessions In passing
sentence, Judge Newburger scored the pris-
oner severely. saying:
You are one of that stripe of men who.
by the fortune of birth. come 10 this eoun-
try and fleece the American people Such
men as you ought TO be severely punished
but because you have pleaded guilty / will
not be hard on you. The sentence of the
court is three years in State prison at hard
labor
Zaremba. who is Pole. of commanding
appearance. and alleges that he is a noble
man, met Miss Savin at Saratoga and paid
violent attention TO her. So gallant was
the alleged nobleman that he won the heart
and hand of the beautiful ,heiress.
The particular charge against Zaremba
is that he stole s40.50, given to him by Fa-
ther Stephen Lyzmanowski, head of ST. Jo-
seph's Home. in this city. The money was
given to the man to pay the passage of i'm
migrants. while he was in the employ of
the mission. .fg-

Intellectual Inspection.

The victims of the Windsor Hotel hor-
ror will not have lost their lives in vain
If the investigation and the prosecutions
that are likely to follow result in the
better enforcement of the explicit laws
on the subject One of the fire authori-
ties asserts that new laws are needed, but
it is not denied that the existing laws
We're not thoroughly observed. The fault
rests first, of course, with the owner, but
the inspectors have a heavy load of re-
sponsibility. 1t is charged that no in
felligent inspector could accept the ap-
pliances of the Windsor as good and suf-
ficient fire escapes" AS to the faults of
construction which the officials ignored,
they were such as to induce the insurance
companies to make very high and un-
usual rates.
Probably there is not c.. the whole
country where the inspection system is
what it should be. There are reasons
for this. the first being that constant
political parties. Inspectors are appoint
ed through party influence. and if they
happen TO be intelligent it is accidental.
The owners OF buildings are often men of
party influence and are able TO make
things unpleasant for an inspector who
CARES perform his duty conscientiously
Often the official is asked to choose be-
tween creating an enemy of an influential
man on one hand, and a valuable present
and q strong friend on the other. To
most contractors, indeed. to all success
ful ones, it is a point OF the first i'm
portance to acquire political power. Fre-
quently they dictate the selection of the
men who are to report on their work.
This faun runs through every depart
ment OF the municipal service. The ap-

Profitable insomnia.

Persons who have lost the knaek OF.
sleeping are classed as among the most
wretched of mankind. They have no doubt
that the best promise in the Bible is con-
tanned in the words: HE giyeth his be-
loved Sleep" They have an appreciation
amounting to pain of the many tributes to
Morpheus. such as 'sleep that knits up the
ravell'd sleave of care Besides the physi
cal effects of prolonged insomnia, they suf
fer acutely in the silent watches of the
night they fight for sleep. which resists
the more it is sought. The victims have
been without any sense of benefit from
nights spent in tossing. The thoughts that
swarm In the brain of the wakeful man
when there is no sound except the wall
ing of an infant are most somber and de-
pressing. The small sins that seem 90
trivial in the cheerful light of day become
dark crimes in the lonely darkness.
To one class Of sufferers, professional
men, or at least lawyers, a Brooklyn at
torney has shown way to utilize the time
to their financial profit. In suit to recover
some seventeen thousand dollars for pro-
fessional services he presents his bill,
dred dollars "for lying awake nights think
ing of the case" There is nothing unreas-
enable in this. If he could serve his cli-
cnt's interests better for having dwelt on
them during an attack of insomnia, there
is no reason why he should not be paid
for it. To all professional persons this
suggests means of compensation for the

1t is doubtful though, whether the law
yer can claim entire originality in this.

The Toledo Exposition.

The Ohio Federation of Women's Clubs
will make strong effort to get control of
the midway at the Ohio Centennial, and a
petition on the subject has already been
filed with the Commissioners. 1t is sug-
gested that instead of the couchee- couchee
and Oriental dancers which were so prom
inent at the Chicago Fair, there shall be
the kirness and other dances which women
and children, as well as men, may enjoy.
The Ohio clubwomen also have ideas about
other attractions of novel nature which
might be seen in the reformed midway"
among them one which would be particu-
larly interesting to women-a pioneer
kitchen with an open fireplace, contrasted
With modern electrical appliances and con-
veniences for cooking
This proposition may excite smiles in
some quarters, but, after all, midway
could be constructed somewhat after this
plan, and be extremely interesting to all
the visitors except those who are especially
anxious to see the 'couchee- couchee," and
they could doubtless be furnished their
amusement in some other part of the
grounds. There is no real reason why
LllS pIUAlHSul part Ol Tue OulO CpQ-
tennial should not be free from all
Objectionable features. The national
dances of Europe are picturesque and
beautiful, and so are some of the Oriental
dances; and there is no particular need
of reproducing all the semi -barbaric
amusements which prevail in the dark cor
ners of the earth and making them the
feature Of the whole show. If this plan
of the Ohio cIubwomen could be carried
out wisely and without expurgating all the
picturesqueness and fun of the midway
| along with the vice, it might be a reform
well accomplished.
Some of the purveyors of amusement in
the present generation seem to have the
idea that nothing suits the public unless 1t
has at least touch of suggestion. One
of the things to which they point to prove
their argument is that a play widely ad-
vertised as vicious frequently draws
full house, while one which is constructed
on the same plan, but is quite innocuous,
fails almost at once. But the truth of the
matter probably is that the vicious play
was gorgeously staged and costumed and
well acted, and that very many people
swallowed their scruples and went to see it
on that account, while certain percentage
of the audience was drawn by its vicious
ness alone. In the case of the harmless
play, nine times out of ten, the acting,
or the costumes, or the lines were faulty.
The clean, well-acted. well-staged produc-
tion. other things being equal. scores far
the greater success, and there have been at
least three record breakers In Washington
this season which answer to this descrip-
tion, while not one of the conspicuously
successful plays has owed its success to its
suggestiveness. The rule which holds good

STEEL FOR SWITZERLAND.
Ptttsburg Manufacturers Can Nov
Compete With the English There.


Compete With the English There.
Pittsburg, Pa, March 21.-Switzerland
Is knocking at the door OF the Pittsburg
steel mart. She wants to Duy fine steel
tools and agricultural implements and
cutlery. AT the present time the farmers
OF Switzerland get all their implements
from England. and If they should come
to America for future supplies PittsbGrg
would be a large gamer.
Enquiries have been made of Vice Con-
sui Arnold Schneider regarding the possi-
biiity OF Pittsburg firms competing with
the Englishmen for the Swiss trade. MIR.
Schneider represents the Belgian govern
ment in this city. but is native Swiss.
and in the absence of any official repre-
sentative here looks after the interests of
! Switzerland. His annual report to Beiigi-
um contained much important data con-
Gaming the steel and iron industries OF
this country. This report has probably at
traeted the attention of the Swiss import
ers, who are now asking whether it Is
possible for American firms to ship fine
steel goods into Switzerland at prices low
er than England can afford to send her
goods from Sheffield and Birmingham
While the agricultural interests OF
Switzerland are confined within compara-
| lively narrow limitations, the fact that her
manufacturers produce none of the fine
| steel implements required makes her a
market worthy of American competition.
In the valleys of Switzerland the farmers
use the most improved implements. Cut
| lery and other articles requiring a fine
grade of steel are used as extensively as
| in almost any other land of similar size
and Importance.
| Local manufacturers believe that it is
possible for America to send her steel
| goods into Switzerland and undersell the
British. notwithstanding the difference in
| shipping rates. The war with Spain, they
| say, has done much to make this possible
| 1t is to bring us a merchant marine of ouI

! turers to penetrate many fields now closed
against them.
Mr. j. G. Jamison, President of the Pitts
burg Tool Steel Company, says that at the
present time his company is not exporting
any steel to Switzerland. I'VE have re-

There are many ardent patriots in this
country whose sentiments do not find ex-
preston in public, so that the intensity of
their Americanism is not understood by
those who profess TO speak for the masses
of the people. That it is possible for a
few Democrats of prominence to believe
the American people can be induced to
condemn the policy of expansion is only
because so many are silent Occasionally
a voice is raised for the great majority.
Among these is that of President Barrows.
of Oberlin College. He asserts that one
result of the war is new patriotism that
burns all the way from Alaska to Florida
and from Washington to Honolulu. I'VE

of course. 1t extends to the Federal Gov

to endorse the papers of boats when the
life preservers-someti borrowed from
another vessel for the occasion-were as

managers, especially in the cities. there
is bound to be risk to human lives through
the cupidity of owners or contractors and
the corruption, ineficiency, or cowardice
of officials who depend ON the favor Of a
party leader. Among the things charged
by Thomas F. Dolan against the Armours
was that the firm had the power, and
used it, to cause the exchange or removal
of any inspector who was disagreeabiy ex-
acting and too Jealous in minding his
business.
There is no hope of an early remedy for
the evil in relation to ordinary public
works; but in the case of hotels, theatres,
and other buildings where human life is
endangered, public opinion ought to be
able to force reform. II is within the
power of a mayor to achieve popularity by
a relentless warfare on inefficient inspec-
tors in the department of public buildings,
and he can be induced to do it if the pub
lie will insist. 1t is the usual experience
