Emma Caive said in a recent inter-
one ambition, and that was to become
an actress. II have made a success as
grand opera singer" she is reported
as saying. II am rich. too. But what
1 now want to be able to do is to move
people by acting as I have already
done by my singing"
1t is thirty-one years since the
declaration of war by France against
Prussia was signed and two at least,
of the prominent actors in that great
drama still survive-the Empress Eu-
genie and M. Emile Olivier, the first
and last Prime Minister in the Par
liamentary Cabinet" Emile Olivier,
who will be known to everlasting fame
for his unhappy phrase about going
into war with a light heart" is still,
at 76. as combative as ever, and has
just terminated, not unsuccessfully, his
long contest with the French Acade-
my.
Senior Manuel Garcia, said to be the
greatest singing master of his time, is
still living. He was born in Madrid
on March II, 1905. Garcia was the or
iginal representative of Figaro in the
production of Rossini's I'll Barbiere di
Siviglia" in New York. near eighty
years ago, when his sister, the cele-
brated Malibran, appeared as Rosina.
Had he done nothing else his fame
would descend to posterity as the vocal
instructor of Jenny Lind, Catherine
Hayes and Mathilde Marchesi. He was
driven from France, where he had long
resided, by the revolution of 1S48, and
then made England his home.

The Pullman car porters, of whom
there are 5000, are going to form a
union to demand larger pay from the
corporation. The portsrs claim that the
Pullman company does not pay them
enough to live on, and gives them to
understand that they are expected to
make their living out of the travelling
public. The very top notchers," they
say, get only $50 a month, out OF
which they have to dress neatly and
pay for their meals on the road. The
tips, too, they claim, are getting small
er. Formerly they could calculate on
getting twenty-five cents out of each
traveller, but now many travellers
merely say thank you and pass on,
or else hand out a nickel or a dime.
The object of the organization will be
to get more money in the way of
wages. There is, by the way, no valid
reason why the travelling public should
be expected to pay the hire of the
Pullman servants. Travellers have to
give up enough for their berths or
chairs to absolve them from all LA
bility to any person during the trip. If
one gets extra service from a porter,
he ought to pay for it, of course, but
it is unreasonable that the traveller
should be forced to give the tip or go
unattended to.

ANOTHER YELLOW FEVER CURE.

The Marine Hospital Service is very
much interested in the efforts that are
being made to find out the cause and
a cure for yellow fever. It's course in
this matter is in the highest degree
commendable. By continuous search
ing and experiments the truth may
after a while be found. Quinine is a
specific for malarial fever. Why may
there not be specific for yellow fever?
DIR. H. S. Hodgson, an assistant
surgeon in the Marine Hospital Ser
vice, stationed at Progreso, Mexico, is
of the opinion that he has found such
a specific. 1t is the bean of cedron, and
is found in Central and South Ameri-
ca. 1t is used in those countries ex-
tensively as an antidote for the poison
of insects and reptiles. According to
in such cases.
And he has experimental with it in
yellow fever. 1t was while he was sta
toned at Jiminez, Costa Rica. The
yellow fever made its appearance
among some laborers on farms near
the station, and he was called upon
to treat them. In a crude way he made
some tincture from cedron beans and
treated his yellow fever patients with
it by hypodermic injections. He did
not lose case. His experiments were
made, however, under very adverse
circumstances. He had no reliable
nurses, and there was total want of
sanitary arrangements together with
other circumstances which prevented
him from collecting satisfactory data.
In the course of his report the doc
tor, speaking of the cedron bean, says:
THE anti-toxic properties of this rem
edy were so great that l thought ii
might be of some benefit in yellow fe-
yer, and had an opportunity to try
it in several cases of that disease.
From the results 1 concluded it to be
as much a specific for yellow fever as
quinine is for malarial fever"
OF course there may be nothing in
this cedron bean remedy, but it would
be mistake not to pay any attention
to what DIR. Hodgson says about it. 1t
might turn out to be the very thing
physicians have been looking for these
many years. A cure for yellow fever
would be a blessing to the world.
While it is true that sanitation has
done a great deal to prevent epidemics
of the yellow fever there are portions
of number of countries where the
disease is likely to appear any year.
1t is a disease that is so terrifying
that it is the cause of vast damage
to commerce wherever 1t shows itself.
No clue that gives the least promise
of leading to a cure ought to be neg
lected. Our government could we'll af-
ford to extend to DR.. Hodgson all the
facilities he needs for settling salts
factorily the question as to whether
there is any virtue in the bean of ced-
ron as a specific for yellow fever.

The Commissioners of the District of
Colunabia are doing what they can to-
wards making Washington a noiseless
city. They have just adopted the rule
that mo person shall own or keep
within the District of Columbia any
fowl. parrot or bird, which by often
sively growing, .cackling talking or
singing or in any manner shall disturb
the comfort and quiet of the neighbor-
hood" The commissioners are hap
PLY free from the influences that ham
per the city fathers in other communi-
ties. Nobody in Washington has a
vote, hence the commissioners can
adopt any rule they please without the
fear OF being voted out of Office. II
they pleased they could chase the
hawkers of vegetables off the streets,
without fear of the consequences, and
have the loud mouthed and maudlin
nocturnal singers and whistlers locked
up without losing votes. There is al
ready probab bly, less disturbing noise in
Washington than in any other city of
it's size in the world, certainly less than
any in the United States.

Pastor Chamberlin of the First Con-
gregational Church of Chicago is angry.
The other day he promised all of the
unmarried women of his congregation
that he would provide young men es-
corts for them to the Christian En-
deavor meeting. Then he called the
boys together and told them what a
nice time they could have with such
a nice lot of girls. and asked them to
be sure to go for the girls. But when
the time came not one in ten of the
boys showed up. The pastor had made
a promise and couldn't deliver the
goods. The girls were disappointed
and Jumped on" the preacher vigor-
ously. And that is why he is angry.
He thinks the boys do not know a
good thing when they have one thrust
at them.

Reflections of n Bachelor.
From the New York Press.

The youngest thing in the world is
an old man chasing around after a
young girl.
The bitterest kiss can be gilded so
that most any woman will take 1t with
out making a face.
1t seems like some old maids who
never have any men make love TO them
sort of go around making love to them
selves.
Up to thirty a woman wants to f1irt
with men; from that on to forty, with
boys; after that, with anything, IL it's
only kittens.
Whenever a girl gets engaged, what
she considers the most necessary thing
to do is TO make all the other girls
think she walks on him just like he
was mud.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Discussing the question of lynching.
the New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says. "Lawmaking bodies know very
we'll the reasons why the people in Sc
rious cases have no confidence in the
ability of the machinery of justice to
punish criminals and to protect So
ciety, but they refuse to remedy the
evils for which their predecessors were
responsible, and, feeling that they must
do something to please the public
fancy they enact useless and impract-
icable laws, and so escape RESPONSE
bility until the flimsiness of their
makeshift provision becomes fully es-
tablished and makes them laughing
stock"
The Baltimore Sun Dem.) says: I'm
fortunately the questions at issue be-
tween the Steel Trust and it's employees
are of such a character that neither
seems willing to make concessions,
each regarding the surrender of any
part of its contention as the abandon
ment of vital principle. So the con-
test will be fought until one or the
other of the combatants is exhausted.
In view of the Steel Trusts resources,
the chances are in its favor. Even If it
wins a decisive victory, however, it
may have cause in the next few years
to regret that it forced the fight to a
finish"
They are more interested in oil and
mosquitoes in Texas just now than in
politics. The Galveston News says:
"a great work has been accomplished.
No doubt about that. The order that
the mosquito must go is now the order
of the day. The turn of the fly which
wipes its infected feet upon your hands
or your bald head will doubtless come
next, and this purveyor of filth and
disease may be hunted down as a
means of saving the world from the
cholera"

RECENT LYNCHINGs IN MISSISSIPPI

The Governor of Mississippi has ex-
pressed a purpose to make every effort
to apprehend and punish the partici-
pants in the recent lynchings in that
state. He is very much stirred up by
them, not only because he is greatly
opposed to mob law, but also because
there was no excuse for the lynchings
in question. Had he reached the scene
of the trouble a little sooner he would
have been able, in all probability, to
prevent the prisoners from becoming
victims of mob vengeance.
And it is not certain that all of the
negroes who were lynched were guilty
of the crime of which they are accused.
They may have known something
about it, but the knowledge may have
come to them in such a way that they
could not make the authorities &C
quainted with it without exposing
themselves to the vengeance of the real
criminals.
1t becomes more and more evident
that lynchings are not a deterrent to
crime. The same kind of crimes con-
Ilnue TO De COlnIlllleus anu there 10 no
decrease in the number of them. There
are those who insist that legal execu-
lions of criminals do not help to pre-
vent crime. There are so few hangings,
however, in comparison with the num-
Der of murders, that there is no safe
data on which to base an opinion of
that kind. 1t is said that for the period
of five years Immediately preceding
Nov. 1, 1900, there were 10000 murders
in this country, and that in that time
there were only 597 legal executions.
II we hang only one murderer to every
sixty-seven murders committed an
opinion that hanging is not deterrent
to murder is not worth very
much, because hanging as a
means of punishment has not
| been given a fair trial In the same
five years there were 632 lynchings. In
| view of the fact that there were so few
| hangngs il is not to be wondered at
that there were so many lynchings.

An odd story of poverty, romance,
deception, ingratitude, love and a
wooden leg comes from Preston, Conn.
Daniel Walsh, a poor young man with
a wooden leg and protesting to be de-
voutly religious though down in his
luck. was befriended by Mr.. Stanton
of Preston. After some time Walsh
complained that. his wooden leg was
worn out and caused him much pain.
The good hearted Mr.. Stanton gave
him $50 with which to buy a new one.
Instead of using the money for that
purpose. however. Walsh persuaded
Mr.. Stanton's fifteen-year-old daughter
to elope with him to New York. Rhoda,
the daughter. said she became inter-
ested in Walsh because he had a wood
en- leg. and finally loved him for the
sorrows he had seen. Because of her
infatuation and his influence over her
she stole $50 from her father. which.
added to the $50 procured for the wood
en- leg, gave the couple a small fund
with which they went to New York.
Walsh has been arrested for abduction.
