TYPHOID AND
 SUMMER OUTING

From the Baltimore Sun.
 The Maryland Medical Journal has a grue- some article on Typhoid as Summer Di- version" in which are discussed the extra risks of the summer boarding house, the country cottage and "the Old Oaken Buck ct That Hangs in the We'll" The careful man who wishes to learn in advance wheth- CT the proposed summer home has good drainage and pure water is commonly re- garded by his host, says our contemporary, as "overioarticular," and is summed as a dissemin3 tor of hurtful suspicious. "The easy and popular way" says the Journal, "of determining as to drainage and water is to expose on.s family for a season, ". en, If typhoid fever should be contracted, 1t Is manifest that one should go elsewhere next summer. That one might have gone else where this summer is most unprofitable reflection"
 Inquiries are sometimes made by the in- tending summer boarder as to drainage and water supply, but the landlord, not be- ing an expert sanitaraian, is usually well content with his accommodations. What the landlord says upon the subject" the Journal observes facetiously, lis sure to be more satisfactory that the truth could possibly be- The sensible course, there
 
 not wish to return to the city in the fall laden with typhoid germs is to go himself and inspect the source of the drinking water, drainage, etc., before engaging board. There is an alternative, 1t is sug gested by our medical contemporary if one cannot go himself-to write to the local health officer. "The brand-newness of the question:" says the Journal, may take his breath for a time, but he will probably not lie, and may perhaps try to obtain the information which you desire. If he should be able to answer you at once and to give you detailed information, put your hand over his back and demand of him the word for he, too. is an overparticular.
 If one can get no reply from the local health officer and cannot himself go and investigate the proposed health resort 1t will be wise. the Journal suggests, to stay in the city and drink boiled water. If the city Is too hot, one may safely betake him- self to almost any summer resort, provided always that he will do there what he would do he remained in the city-ooil all the water he and his family drink. Sometimes typhoid Is contracted at the private resi- dences of wealthy people who have taken every pains to insure good sanitary condi- tions about their homes. The Journal men, tons an instance, of typhoid epidemic In a rural community, of 400 persons having excellent sewerage and a water supply of known purity. Yet in this community three cases of well-defined typhoid and twenty five cases of grave intestinal disorder sud- denly developed in July, 1898, to the sur prise of a hygfemst who had examined the regular water supply on June 30 and found 1t good

The Jones Vote Tn Ohio

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The Washington Post has been taking the Courier-Journal to task for making calculations concerning Ohio in the Novem- Der election, which the Washington paper thinks absurd.
 The Courier-Journal said that if Bryan "gets the Mclean and Jones vote in Ohio and by all reasonable calculations he ought to-he will carry Ohio, if he car ries no one of the other states; though if he carries Ohio, all the others go
 On this the Post says it has not a shadow of doubt that If MT. Bryan carries Ohio he will come In with a tremendous ma jority, but, it asks: Where are the indi- cations that he will get the Jones vote in Ohio?'
 Mayor Jones has answered that ques- ton for himself. The "Jones vote" will be given to the Bryan and Stevenson ticket Mir. Jones has announced. But Chairman Hanna pooh-poohs the an

by reason of the non-working of the pump at the water station, the superintendent of the water works got water into the tank for that one day from an outside source, namely, a well used by a family that had a case of typhoid in 1897. This discarded well was found on examination to be breed- ing the colon bacillus. Here the stupidity of the superintendent had nullified all the careful precautions of the community, with the result that using a contaminated well for one day caused much dangerous sickness worry and expense. Another in- stance is mentioned of a summer cottage in Baltimore County provided with water from two sources-a good we'll and cis- tern filled with rain water. The latter was to be used about the house, but not for drinking. But it was used for drinking as soon," says the Journal, "as lazy nigger preferred turning the spigot to working the pump handle" The result was that the illness of two children on the third floor, over the roof of the veranda, was communicated to thirteen persons, includ- ing a number of guests. These cases Of typhoid resulted, it Is perceived, from ex- cessive reliance upon the discretion and good faith of a servant. Unless all drink ing water is boiled, nothing, it seems. but the absolute exclusion of the chance of contamination can be trusted to safeguard the water supply, whether in city or coun- try

LIS AMERICAN SECRETARY
Brooklyn Man Who's Been in His Ser

From the London Leader.

From the London Leader.
 If Sir Robert Hart is the most Chinese of Englishfen (and Europeans), MT. William N Pethck, once of New York, runs him close.
 The Chinese learned to trust Sir Robert Harte. Ii Hung Chang learned to trust MT. Pethick, who has been his secretary for twenty-five years.
 MT. Pethick was born in Brooklyn, edu- cated for the law and went to China in 1865, before he was 20. He was in the serv- ice of an English exporting house, having a branch in Pekin.
 China interested him, perplexed him, fas- cinated him. He resolved to penetrate its mind would allow, the genius of its strange ancient people.
 To do this 1t was necessary to become a Chinaman.
 Pethick was equal to the task. He strip ped himself of his Occidentalisms He wore Chinese clothes, ate Chinese food lived in Chinese houses, walked and talked with none but Chinese.
 His object was to look upon life with Chinese eyes. Helearned the language bet ter than most Chinamen, for he mastered the dialects of the various provinces. This gave him great advantage over even the literau of Pekin.
 Li Hung Chang Is a judge of men. He made Pethck his secretary Pethcks knowle dge of law was invaluable to the Chi nese statesman. His grasp of European and

 It was due. they say to Pethicks repre- sentations to the Empress Dowager that Ii Hung Chang was recalled to favor af- ter his last disgrace.
 He was with the aged statesman when the latter was wounded by a Japanese fa- natic. He drew up the peace treaty as 1t was finally signed.
 Even in his domestic affairs the Bis marck of China relies on Pethicks judg- ment. That is how he came to violate all precedent by sending two of his nephews to America to be educated. The two young men are now in New York

But he was in Pekin when the trouble broke out, and there he has stayed with the rest of the little European com munity.

ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN.

Roosevelt spoke OF the duty of citi-
xens and their relations to one another
and to the government. He was practi-
cal, forceful. sensible. He eschewed poll
ties entirely and confined himself TO So
cio-economic questions. Bryan ignored
the introduction against political discus
sion at n labor meeting and launched
out In discussion of pending issues In
his usual able style. No doubt his hear
ers freely forgave him and listened with
wrapt attention to what he had to say

WHY NOT ALL THE FtCTss

Seattle. Sept 10, 1900.
To the Editor: was present at Arrnory

Towne and his unrighteous attack on

Mr. Towne declared that the agree

Bates respecting the occupation OF the
Sulu archipelago by the American forces
had been ratified by President Mckinley;
that II was In the nature OF a treaty. by
the terms of which slavery was permit

firmed said agreement subject to the ac-

way to authorize or give the consent OF
the United States to the existence of
slavery in the Sulu archineiago"7
Was not Mr.. Towne familiar with the
language of the president above quoted
when he hurled at his audience his ma
