1t must have been in 1862 that Meyer
beer paid his last visit 70 London. and
I saw him at one of the philharmonic
concerts which were then held in the
old Hanover square rooms There was
quite frtter of excitement when the
little old man. looking extraordinarily
wiZened ard wrinkled, even for his age
of IS, came into the box. I noticed his
piercing eyes and hooked nose and per-
traps as much as these a magnificent
brooch OF rubies and diamonds that
blazed in the center OF his shirt frill,
which he wore in the fashion of 1850. The
stones flashed and glittered with every
one OF his quick little bows 70 right
and left. and the rubies connect them
selves with tale of his great predeces-
sor in Parasitic mighty Ciluck.

ady There.

NEW YORK, August PA Tribune
special from London says:
While India is suffering from one of
the worst outbreaks of cholera ever
recorded, so that people are dying at
the rate of seven thousand a week,
Great Britain is alarmed by the pros
pect of an epidemic of bubonic plague
within her own boundaries. The medi-
cal authorities at Glasgow have al
ready had several cases under their OBJ
servation, On Monday child sickened
and died within forty-eight hours from
an illness which was at first thought to
be pneumonia, but after a minute ex-
animation by the hospital authorities
was pronounced plague. Another death
has occurred and ten families were re-
moved to reception house for patients
suffering from this disease which the
municipality has hastily established.
GLASGOW, Aug. 29.-Two girls and a
boy, members of isolated families, have
fallen victims of the bubonic plague,
though the medical authorities assert
that the attacks are less virulent than
in the cases which have already proved
fatal.
In the event of further spread of
the disease. Glasgow shipping will be
quarantined.

daughter, receives 81 200, 600 in money

cess Hatzfeldt or any other married
woman shall be to her sole use as her

gagements of her husband, and not liza

Anti.TyphOldal Serum.

DR.. Wright. professor OF pathology in the
British Army Medical School makes a report
on the results of inoculation with anti
typholdal serum, which Is sure TO attract
much attention.
When he was besieged In Ladysmlth Gen.
eral White had 1900 troops and the garrison
had to drink very impure water. The result
was great deal Of typhoid fever. OF the
~. 284 men In General Whites command only
l,705 allowed themselves TO be inoculated
with the anti-typhodol serum, the other TO-.
529 preferring to take their chances without
such treatment.
The comparison OF results among the in
oculated and the non-inoculated soldiers
make fine showing for the efficiency OF the
inoculated soldiers in Ladysmith there oc.
Cured l,4S9 cases OF typhoidal fever: among
the 1,705 inoculated soldiers, IS cases. Stated
otherwise there was one case of fever to every
10Y non-inoculated soldiers. and one case 10
every 48.7 inoculated soldiers. In other
words. for every one inOculated soldier who
took enteric fever, there was almost seven
this Ia disparity In number sufficiently
striking 10 make people stop and think.
| The value Of the serum was demdostrated
| in the comparative fatality as we'll as In the
nu mber of attacks.
| The ndmber OF deaths among the non.in.
oculated was 320. and among the inoculated
| s. This, therefore, there was one death
among every 81 non n-inoculated men, whereas
there was only one death among every 2la
men!
Typhoid fever is one of the most frequent
and most fatal diseases in this section and
! DR.. Wright's report deserves consideration
This comment is from the Atlanta Journal
from which paper the discussion given above
| is taken.
