Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-01-16

At this time of the year the annual
statistical reports of the births, deaths,
marriages, interments, etc, that have
taken place in neighboring boroughs
during 1898 are appearing in the local
papers of these places. An accurate
record of these events becomes quite
valuable in after years, and the council
should Immediately provide for the
systematic gathering and preservation
of all such information. In most other
towns the reports are furnished to thc
Boards of Health by ministers, physi
clans, sections, etc. under compulsion
and when sent in promptly very little
work is entailed in making out al
annual report which in a short while
becomes valuable historical document

SCHOOL OF wITcHCRAFT.

A school of very curious order was opened in Paris recently. Its founder; offer to initiate whoever is possessed Of the necessary dose of patience. ana perhaps of credulity, into the myste- Ties of occultismr into the arcana of black magic. There are persons. they opine. even in these latter and skepti- cal days. who would like to follow in the footsteps of g ParaceIsus or a Iris megistus. and for the benefit of thcss inquiring souls they. have started complete course of sorcery and witch craft of astroIogy and the other her metic sciences" It must be admitted that the advantages held out as the re- ward of those who attain to complete initiation are considerable An in scription on the wall of the occulisr schooI-f. Rue de Savoie-sats forth that the initiated, in virtue of the powers transmitted them by the mas ters, reign in heaven, command on earth. and are feared in Hades" 4 magician of this calibre would certain ly occupy no mean opinion of himself. so that it would not be just to scoff at the occulist professors unless by any chance they should fail to keep their promises.
 Nobody will be surprised to learn that magician is not made in a mo- meut. Still, though the process of ini- tiation extends over three years. the time expended will be allowed to be short when the results arrived at are considered. The programme of studies at the occulist school. which has go thoughtfully been forwarded gives full details of the three years course. Dur ins the first year the student is mad. to acquire as much Hebrew as 'wiU enable him to understand the books cr the old aIchemists."- He begins. too, the study "of the constitution os man and Of his hidden forces" This is nol all, but ] am compelled To abridge.

drainage is by a sewer into the river. part by poorly made c5sspools, from which the sewage seeps through into the surrounding soil. As much of the water is taken from springs, the op- portunities for contamination are ap- parent.
 Over the whole area the d-nzity O. the population is rot great. but in that section of the alun-s where the disease is lodged it is 400 to the acre. or alm7st a quarter larger than that of the most crowded portions Of London. H5re the conditions of life are appalling. the filth being inconceivabIe to aa Ameri- can. There are no yards, many of the rooms of the closely packed tenements have no windows. and refuse of every description is left standing in open .receptacles. It is remarked to the credit of the people that they will keep their clothes clean, but this is not a defense against the horribly polluted atmosphere and all the deprivations of extreme poverty.
 The surroundings at Oporto present. ed the very environment favorable to the bubonic plague. There is the same difficulty also with the superstf- ton of the iuha bitants that there was at Bombay. They are firmly con- virced that the plague is got up by the doctors for their own ends" and they regard the hospital as their death war rant
 It follows. therefore. that the gov ernment has exceptional trouble in fighting the contagion. It has had q combined military and naval co-don about the stricken city and resorted to many drastic measures without avail, for the disease is still increasing within and has been carried to Brazil, from which country it made it's way 10 New York.
 Thirty new cases were reported il Cporto during the first week of Octo- Der, a marked advance over any pre- vious week. The epidemic is confined. however, to the poorer classes and it's type for the most part is not malig- nant But it has paralyzed the indus tries of the city and is a grave menace to the entire western world.

 is significant. Though

 OF SHIP fc on the lakes. it is BUILDING. really part of much
 larger revival of ship building in both domestic and foreign trade. The word domestic" as ap- piled to American ship building. is sug- gestive of very much larger interests and trade areas than those of any other country. fact impressiveIy il- frustrated by the immense tonnage that passes through the Sault Ste. Marie canal Rivalry between the Carnegie and Rockefeller interests for the traffic of the lakes is only a phase of the larger movement. which, after dsvel- oping interior shipping traffic to the fullest extent in connection with the iron, steel and other staple industries, must seek oversea traffic in completion of its natural development. Talk of formation of a ship yard trust, which has strong inherent probability to sup port it, adds force to this larger view.
 That primacy in the iron and steel industries will carry with it develop ment of ship building has long been foreseen, and a degree Of development in those industries has now been reached that points oversea. The po- litical impulse of expansion coincides with the commercial. if, indeed, it is not in part the product of the latter and to the business interests of the country commercial expansion means nothing without revived ship building. It is the indispensable condition Of a permanent and increasing export trade. Fifty years ago the American clipper ships that led the worlds mercantile marine were largely the outcome Of enterprise of business firms in the China trade. and never since then until now have conditions been so favorable for recreating on an immensely larger scale the marine that was cut off by the civil war and England's sudden employment of iron in ship building, while we were in the distraction of that great conflict.
 There is now, however, the funda- mental difference that we are not rely ing upon the China tea trade for any impetus to build ships. but instead of that. the pressure of all exportable pro ducts imperatively demands it. The situation is reversed. Fifty years ago imports of foreign goods gave rise to the clipper ships; now the first position as an exporting nation calls for a mer- cantile marine as it's adjunct. Mean while the navy is being built up as the guaranty of marine traffic. All the conditions of the new situation have intimate reference to that.

 THE rot pleasant to con BUBONIC template the fact that
 PLAGUE. right at New York a
 ship arrived with the dreaded bubonic plague on board. The experience of Oporto is a warning that the disease is not necessarily confined to the orient or to tropical chimes.
 A writer in the Chicago Times-Her- aid reviewing the record of the pres ent outbreak of this disease traces its origin to China, whence it passed to India, Persia, Nautilus, East Africa, Egypt and finally to Oporto. It was of a most deadly character throughout the far cast, but Europe is such q stranger to it's ravages that it's appear ance in any European city was not an ticipated. The last reference U th- pest by the Portusuese authorities is dated 1880. the last violent outbreak in Europe occurred at Moscow in ire. During the present century there were cases in the Levant. whence it disap- peared entirely in 1Si1. and since then it has reappeared only once and in a small way along tl-c lower Volga dur ing the years 1s7S-79.
 How it came to Oparto Iast yea" is still a mystery. When, however. i; was once given a footing there it was inevitable that it should ioc-ea~e iay- idly.
