We have received letter from Dor

the views she expresses with such show
Of feeling.
In the first place. We did not cali the

of trying to bring it into disrepute. We
called it a craze" simply because it
seemed 10 be spreading over Kansas. and

it craze" just as we would call any
effort at reform which was not based
upon reason a craze"

opposition to the prohibition cause She

The reason they do not approve it is
that they are confident that it will not

When Mr.. Roosevelt shall have been
installed as Vice President there will be
in the Senate the survivors of three wars
the Mexican, the Civil and the Spanish
American Gen. Bate of Tennessee is the
only senator who saw service during the
Mexican war. Though Senator Pettus of
Alabama was in the army during that
period, he never got to the front. There
are twenty or more venerable senators
who were on one side or the other during
the Civil War, but Mr.. Roosevelt will be
the only veteran of the Spanish-American
conflict.
Col f. F. Hilder, the chief clerk of
the Bureau of American Ethnology, who
died in Washington on Monday was
native of England, served with credit in
the British army in INDIA, and afterward
in the army of the Khedive in Egypt.
He then came to this country 10 accept
a responsible position in the Remington
Arms Company. More recently he was
secretary to Senator Squire, after which
he entered the Bureau of EthnOlogy. He
wrote with fluent power, and was widely
known as a lecturer He was a contribu-
tor TO the Geographical Magazine, as well
as to popular publications. His most re-
cent work of importance was his visit TO
the Philippines. where he went as a repre-
sentative of the Bureau of American Eth
nology and made a collection showing
the domestic side of the Filipinos, which
is TO be exhibited at the Pan-Ameri3an
Exposition at Buffalo. He also wrote
pamphlet on Philippine conditions while
in the archipelago. for which President
Mckinley thanked him.

A queer old superstition in England,
which was almost universally held from
the time of Edward the Coufessor 10
the end of the Eighteenth century. and
which mas many adherents among the
teLorant even to this day. is that the
king possesses the power OF healing by
touching the part affected ana that his
heating power was especially marked in
cases of scrofula or kings evil" Queens
were not credited with such power. hence
during Victorias long reign there was
no touching for kings evil A London
cable says that predictions are being
freely made that Edward VII will shortly
be called upon to give al evidence of
his power as a popular healer. Mean

BETTER HEALTH REGULATIONS.

Z
There are reasons for saying that there
is great need for better regulations for
the preservation of The public health Ia
this state. and in South Carolina
and Florida In the cities of these
states there are health boards which.
I'm most cases. can he depended
upon to enforce sanitary rules and
take precautions against the spread
Of contagious and infectious diseases. but
in the country districts it seems to be
nobody's business to protect the public
against such diseases.
For the last two OF three years there
has been good deal OF smallpox in this
state and South Carolina. II has been in
the country districts, as a rule and little
or nothing has been done to prevent its
spread Naturally. it is difficult to keep
it out'of the cities. because there is close
and constant communication between the
cities and the country surrounding them.
A few days ago the Mayor Of this city
called the attention Of Governor Gambler
TO the necessity Of doing something to
keep the smallpox from coming into tho
state from South Carolina, and the Gov
ernor of Georgia communicated with the
Governor Of South Carolina about the
matter. The Governor Of the latter state
communicated with his board Of health.
but the South Carolina board Of health
cafnot do much towards checking the
spread of the disease, because it hasn't
the necessary money. And there is no
means in this state for handling the dis
case as it should be handled. To vacci-
nate the people Of all Of the counties and
to Isolate and care for all smallpox pa
tients would cost many thousands of dol
lars and yet it is only by such means
that smallpox can be thoroughly stamped
out
The Governor of Florida issued an order
to the sheriffs of that state recently and
TO the lessees of the state convlcts rela-
tive to having prisoners and convicts vac
cinated. In his proclamation he said that
judging from the information reaching
the executive Office, smallpox existed in
pretty nearly all of the counties of the
state. 1t is evident from this statement
that there is need of legislation in Florida
relative to smallpox.
1t will be impossible to stamp out the
disease in any one of these three states
unless vigorous warfare is made upon
it, and the only way to bring about such
warfare is for the state to take hold of
the matter Each one of these states
ought to make an appropriation for the
control Of epidemic diseases and should
create some authority for it's proper ex-
penditure, And there ought to be such an
understanding between the health authori-
ties in the three states mentioned as would
enable them to work together No doubt
the smallpox is carried from one state
to another by rowing negroes. The men
employed on the turpentine farms are all
the while going from one farm to an
other and they carry the disease with
them There will continue to be more or
less of the dreaded disease for years to
come unless energetic measures are
taken to stamp it out

The days of long ago were the theme
Of talk at the January meeting of the
Lawyers Club az the Genesee last night
says the Buffalo Express.
one Of the wittiest speeches of the even
ing was made by D. n. Lockwood. One
OF his best stories was of Squire Murray,
who weighed 800 pounds and who was
born in Ireland was in the whisky bust
ness here and held his court on The Ter
race. The court room was like a court
room in Ireland. The bench was five feet
from the floor, with a chair whose back
reached to the ceiling. The trimmings
of the room were all green. Mr.. Lock
wood and Judge BeckWith were trying
out a case before the squire There was
no jury At the close the squire paused.
DO you wish to sum up?" ne asked.
Il leave it all with your honor" said
Mr.. Lockwood, who advises young law
yers with a ticklish cause and friendly
face on the bench to do likewise
IN sum up said Judge BeckWith.
Very Well" replied Squire Murray.
while you're at it I'll slip down in Muir
ray Bros. and have a drink with Lock-
wood. But I'll be back before you fin
ish.'
The squire and Mr. Lockwood went
out. The squire was in search of the
spirit of the law al the root of the law
Mr.. Lockwood thinks they mad d drink
On the stairs, halfway back to the court
room, with the echo of Beckwith's voice
sounding in their ears, the squire stop
ped
Lockwood" said he, you've won your
case"
Then they went in and heard Beckwith
finish summing up.

1t seems that Mrs Dewey has won at
least one victory over Mrs. Miles. How
ever. whether it will prove to be lasting
remains 10 be seen. Services in honor OF
the late Queen were held in a Washing
ton church on Sunday. The army aud
navy were represented by officers of the
two services in fun uniform Admiral
Dewey was seated ahead of Gen Miles:
and thus was recognized the precedence
Of a full admiral over a lieutenant gem
eral. IL that precedence can be made to
hold' good at the state balls and other
functions, Mrs. Dewey will be happy, and
Mrs. Miles correspondingly miserable. In
Washington the question of who shall
walk ahead Is regarded as being much
more momentous than the question Of the
future OF the Philippine Islands.

a family of six children are TO receive
$40 annually, mothers of seven $12, mothers
Of eight SIS, mothers of nine $50 mothers
Of ten SIS, mothers of eleven $50. and
mothers of twelve or more $50 Wonder
