Word comes from Paris that the au-

Paul Jones' 1t would seem that the IN
certainty which prevails as to his burial
place is but a part and parcel of the mys-

lifetime
Yet does it not seem strange that in
hero worshiping France there is not one
person who can put his finger on the
sepulchre of a man who was followed TO
his tomb by almost the entire French Ma
tional Assembly. and who was honored.
when living. by the whole French people
with an honor that. fell little short OF
alteration? Is not the ignorance Of John
Paul Jones' burial place the more strange
when it is remembered that this man, on a
French vessel and with crew composed
largely of Frenchmen. overcame in one OF
the famous naval conflicts OF history a yes
sci Of greatly superior strength and arma-
ment and which flew the flag Of the hated
English?" More than this. the man whose
remains lie unknown and unhonored in
Paris was the greatest naval genius Of his
time; ne was decorated by the King of
France, by ;he Empress Of Russia. and BY

All that is needed is population and modern
methods and inventions Of mining and
agriculture, and means for marketing these

be that under her influence Persia will be-

LEPRosY IN CHICAGO.
Health officials Find Case i'm n
Laundry shop.

" toH4 llt I AlA aEN -N'NS-l
A well defined case Of leprosy was
found by the Health Department in the
Chinese population Of the city, the first
case Of the kind in two years. Sam Lee
the sufferer from the disease, is on his
way TO China, travelling on a fund raised
for his benefit among his fellOw-country-
men in Chicago. while the house in which
the Chinaman was found has been thor
oughly disinfected by the authorities and
placed in an absolutely healthful condi-
ton.
sam Lee was employed in a laundry at
SEA Forty-eighth Avenue, operated by his
cousin. Lee Sing He had been in the
place but a few months when patrons Of
the laundry noticed the large, red dis
coloTations on his face and hands, and re-
port was made to the health department.
Dr.. John a Riley in charge Of the disin-
lection and investigation on the West Side,
was sent to look into the case. and dag
nosed it as leprosy. Chief Medical Inspec-
tor Henry Spaldiug also made an invcsti-
cation and corroborated the diagnosis of
DR.. Riley
The man was at once isolated. and ar
engagements were made 10 send him from
the city. The other Cinnamon in the laun-
dry Immediately raised a fund TO trans
port their less fortunate brother 10 the
Orient, where the Government has charge
Of the leper colonies.
Sam Lee would. not submit to having a
portion Of the diseased flesh removed Tor
microscopical inspection, and though that
is the only absolutely certain test of the
disease, the physicians who examined the
man are satisfied he was suffering from
leprosy.
One of the peculiarities Of the Chinese
religion prevented the minute diagnosis of
the microscope. The physicians during
their examination took out their knives to
obtain a portion Of the diseased flesh. but
with weeping and waiing the native Of
Cathay objected. Later the physicians
learned that any portion Of the flesh re-
moved in this life would forever be lack
ing in the body Of the Chinaman after his
bones had been buried in sacred soil and
he again took his earthly form in the life
to come Under these circumstances the
physicians desisted.
There could be little doubt as to the
character Of the ailment," said DR.. Spald-

BoER PRISONERS.
How the British Dispose of Their
south African Captfves.


South African Chptives.
From the New York Commercial Adveriiser)
The problem of the disposition Of Boer
prisoners captured in the early engage
ments OF the South African war has been
solved by the British in the employment
of prison ships. Two ships have been as
signed by the authorities for this purpose
the Penelope and the Cephal0nia. One OF
these ships is kept anchored in Simons
Bay. near Cape Town. for the reception Of
prisoners Of war who are brought to It
from time to time by the other. From the
front the captured Beers are brought to
Natal and conveyed from there to the
coast at Durham. Here they are taken on
board the Penelope.
On board the Penelope the prisoners
are cared for until a sufficient number
have been received, when the ship weighs
anchor and starts on her voyage along the
coast TO Simons Bay.

And by and by the lamps were lighted

Ladies' Shirt Waist, Made with or
Without the Applied Yoke, No. 1887.
Hints by May Manton.
The general popularity of shirt waists
in materials of all kinds creates the ne
cessity of a large variety of models.
There is tendency towards less full
ness in these waists, and the design here
illustrated gives one of the latest ap-
proved styles, with the fulness in front
confined in small box plaits at the neck.
The waist is mounted on a glove-fit-
ted lining which closes in the center
front and may be omitted if not desired
The back fits smoothly across the
shoulders with slight fulness arranged
in close gathers at the waist. It can be
made with or without the round yoke
facing which may be applied invisibly
! underneath as protection to the back
when the lining is omitted.
The fronts close through wider box
plaits formed on their edges, the fulness
being laid In tiny box plaits at the neck
which are stitched down a short dis
tance.
The shoulders fit smoothly and the
| fulness is slightly bloused or drawn
| down under the belt
The correct two-piece sleeve is finish
ed with small faring cuff The mar
row ribbon velvet belt and soft collar
add an artistic touch to this dainty
| waist
Silk, French flannel, cashmere OF
pique, cotton cheviot and percale are
| appropriate materials for this model
Fancy buttons down the front are q
| pleasing addition.
To make the waist in the medium size
| will require three and half yards OF
| 3O-inch or four yards of 22-inch ma
terial. The pattern, No. 1887, is cut in
| sizes for 80, "a, sc, 80, 40 and 42-tnch
| bust measure.

The Twins Warrington Pies.

It was OH such fun to make Wash
ington pie all to your own self! at least
that Is what Dorothy thought, as she
beat the eggs and creamed the butter
and sugar and stirred the foamy cake
until her fat arms ached. But that
wasn't nearly as nice as spreading the
red raspberry jam between the two
round, crispy cakes when they came out
of the oven; and sitting whole shower
of white powdered sugar right on top
of them was really more fun than all
the rest put together. There were so
many big Jumps to eat, you know.
And when this precious pie was finish
ed Dorothy hid it away on the tip top
shelf of the pantry closet, and all day
long she wished for supper time to
come, so that she could give 1t to Broth
err George for great surprise.
You see, Georgie and Dorothy were
twins, and George Washington's birth
day was their birthday, too. At least,
Dorothy had the birthday. Cause
George had the name" That's the way
the twins decided to divide the honors.
George Washington Barstow was very
