Victims.

NEW YORK, June PA smallpox
plague is raging in Yonkers, and despite
the earnest efforts of the health authori-
ties, new cases are being reported daily,
and deaths are frequent. The city hospi-
tai. which is several miles out in the
woods. is filed to overfowing with pa
tients, and tents are now in use.
For nearly two months the disease has
been prevalent here. but recently it has
increased in an alarming manner The
health bureau has been thronged every day
for a week by eager crowds of men, wo-
men. and children. seeking to be vaccin-
ated, and extra help has been engaged to
administer vaccine. Three free branch
yaccinatinc bureaus have been establish
ed throughout the city. and, they, too, are
besieged daily. 1t is estimated that near
w 500 persons a day are being VdcCln-
ated Requests have been made that every
one receive the only safeguard against the
disease. and they are being readily com,
piled with. The contaglon has spread

a meeting of the physicians of tire city
was held last evening at which the con

as the schools close next week for the an

practitioner, on the Christian Science

great attention He said there were many

ritical efforts to restore harmony in local

at the county convention.
The Hannaites had announced that
Charles +. Leach and James w. Stewart
were candidates for members Of the
State Central Committee to represent
Cuyahoga County. The antis are not par
ticularly overjoyed that both committee
men should be Hanna men, and have is
sued an ultimatum TO Hanna to the ef
feet that either Leach or Stewart must be
withdrawn. They say that if this Is not
done they will defeat both candidates, and
place Edward Bait and Harry Bushea
upon the committee.
Just to make the situation a triie more
intricate James w. Holcomb, who repre-
sents a considerable faction opposed To

nounced himself a candidate for commit

PORTO RICANs MUTINY.
Trouble With the Party Aboard the
steamer Californian.

NEW ORLEANS, June 23.-The party
of Porto Ricans. 80 in number, who ar
rived here yesterday from Ponce were
sent forward today via San Francisco to
Hawaii making total of 400 Porto Ri
cans that have already been sent to the
Pacific There has been much opposition
to the emigration particularly on the part
of the Porto Rico sugar planters, and con-
siderable trouble was encountered with
the early emigraIts but the difficulty
reached a climax on the present trip of
the Californian in the form of mutiny on
the part of the Porto Ricans, requiring
the interference of the New Orleans po-
lice for its suppression.
The officers in charge of the vessel al
lege that the mutiny was deliberately in
cited by planters in Porto Rico. who sent
a man with the party, a good talker. to
stir up and excite the natives. The emf
grafton movement has been bitterly op-
posed from the start, and every effort
made to break 1t up by the employers of
labor Even the priests were appealed to
and did all they could to dissuade the emil
grants from leaving the island.
Trouble on the Californian began on the
second day of the voyage, when the emf
grants instigated by one Buel, were very
ugly Actual mutiny arose when the Cal
ifornian reached New Orleans. The Porto
Ricans were persuaded by Buel that they
would be badly treated in Hawaii, and an
nounced that they would refuse to go
there The United States customs officer
was unable to quiet them, and the police
had to be called in.

THE EVILS DUE TO POVERTY.
The Negroes Status Discussed by n
Baptist Church Lyceum

The closing exercises of the lyceum of
the Second Baptist Church, colored, Third
Street, between H and /, northwest. We're
held in the Lyceum Hall, at 3:9O yester-
day afternoon. a good sized gathering
of the members WAS present. r. w.
Thompson. president of the Iyceum, open
ed the meeting with a brief address in
which he set forth the good work done
during the year. and hoped to have even
larger gatherings during the coming win
ter meetings.
The address of the afternoon was de-
livered by j. 7. c. Newsom, of Texas, who
spoke on Poverty and Its Resulting
Evils" The speaker described the condi-
tion of the negro in the North and South
as he is today, and attributed the social
status of the colored man much to
poverty as TO any other cause. He urged
all colored men to stand up for their
rights, and be men always. In this wa,
he stated, they could command the re-
spect OF their white brethren, and become
a power in the land.
The question was then debated by those
present, Miss l1stelle Hedgman opening
the discussion. Blanche !. Coleman re-
cited The Battle of Manassas" and vocal
solos were rendered by Mrs. w. c. Payne
and William Carter. The reports for the
year were read and adopted. and the ly-
ceum adjourned.

discretion; a wise man will hear and in
crease his learning, and a man of under
standing shall attain unto wise counsels.
Further on the Psaimist said: The fear
of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
but fools despise wisdom and instruction"
The end of education, the speaker said,
IS .he having of wisdom. justice. right.
equity, penetration, and discretion. The
present, he said. is the greatest in cdu-
cational development the world has ever
known, and it is deplorable to hear of col
!ege presidents becoming alarmed at the
creativeness of the human intellect. 1t
is to be regretted that anyone should
think this to be an age of things instead
of an age of thought. In fact, he said, it
is ar age of things. and, therefore, an
age of thought. 1t is an age of activity
and an age of creativeness
When God said: Let there be light"
and there was light, Mr.. Bristol said that
was no evidence that God ceased to live.
The development of the age is proof that
man is thinking, so let us not be alarmed
II thought is being productive of things.
1t is a proof of the activity of man, which
is most clearly demonstrated by the great
enterprises of this enterpriSing age.
The Rev. Mr.. Bristol also referred to the
nurne r0us inventions of recent years
a proof of the educational development
Of man. But because ii is an age of wealth
and intellect, he said, 1t is no reason
that II Is not also an age OF Christianity.
1t requires, he said, great genius TO
build A fortune as it did to build the Par
thenon. And with the genius for making
wealth. he said, goes the desire for the
founding of institutions for learning. IL
is the age of the development of mechani-
cal and labor-saving devices which re-
lieve the laborer of drudgery. Never be-
fore was matter so subservient to the
mind: never before has mans mind been
SO creative.
There was time Mr. bristol said u-be,
man talked art, religion, philosophy, and
invention for the sake of it. Now, he
said, they talk of them for the good there
is in them for humanity. Man was di-
rected to find God through nature and all
nature proclaims the greatness of God to
man.

THE INFLUENCE OF EDUCATION.
Its Mighty Power in Uplifting the
World Told by DIR. Bristol.

The wonderful development of the world
through education during the present age,
was the subject OF an interesting and in
structive sermon delivered yesterday by
the Rev Frank NJ. Bristol at the morning
services at the Metropolitan NJ. e. Church.
This education, however, he said. was
along the lines suggested by Solomon. 1t

instruction Of wisdom, justice, and judg-

The Steel Strike,

Although. as far as any prospect Of
settlement is concerned, the strike OF
the steel and tin-pIate workers has not
produced any new developments Of i'm
portance since yesterday. there are
ominous signs of approaching trouble
In Pittsburg il is expected that the de-
termination Of the trust to open the
large Devices sheet mill at Mckses-
port. which has been idle since July 1,
will precipitate a collision between the
strikers and the non-union men who
have been or will be employed to up-
crate the plant. Members of the Anal
gamated Association are saying that
the trust is deliberately challenging
violence by this move. knowing that
MCKeesport has the reputation of hav-
ing the most turbulent laborinE popu-
Iation in the State. What IS thought
likely to happen there. they assert,
would be used as an excuse to ask
the active assistance Of the courts and

There may be something IN this view

speaking. not particularly concerned
about what may produce that result.
Practically there Is no pubic sympa-
thy for either party 70 the quarrel In
the circumstances Of the case. the
strike Is widely regarded as uujustiti-
able. while OF course the masses Of the
American people have little admiration
for the Morgan combination So, it

as popular feeling goes, whether the
strikers or the employers gain victory
What is hoped for : a speedy climax
to the crisis which shall show the rela-
tive strength Of the contentants and

come of the struggle will Be As we

tor which is to dominate the sit
