Eight years before book entitled
The Life and Purgatory of ST. Pat

this is what gave the dramatist his
materials.

The sinking of the Rio de Janeiro
was the most appalling disaster the
Pacific coast has known for many
years. Most of the bodies of the 12O
more victims are at the bottom of
the sea and many of them may never
be recovered. The water where the
ship lies is deep and the current swift,
and the dead with most of the wreck
a ge probably will be CARRIED far out
into the Pacific. The number of lives
lost may never be known exactly, ow-
ing to the fact that the ships records
were lost, and it is practically impos-
sible to tell just how many Chinese

A Congregational minister at Still
man Valley, Ill, has resigned his pull
pit because part of his congregation
strenuously objected to his taking part
IN bowling tournaments. Before pre-
senting his resignation, it is said the
minister threatened to knock down
one OF the pillars of his church who
had called to demonstrate with him.
AT any rate the pastor has departed
leaving behind him a disrupted con-
gregatiOn- In most controversies of
this kind between a shepherd and a
portion of his flock there are two dis
tinct sides, one of which is frequently
lost sight of. 1t is the popular tenden-
-cy to express great sympathy for the
minister as man whose personal lib
erty has been interfered with and to
-denounce the action of the DIRECTORS in
the church bigoted and narrow.
Whether such comments are at all JUS
titled depends entirely upon the facts
in each particular case. 1t is easily
conceivable, for instance, that a min
lister might devote so much time to
bowling, in itself one of the most
healthful and innocent of recreations
as to interfere seriously with his pas
tora1 duties. 1t is quite possible that
the example of the pastor might have
had bad inf1unce in leading young
men to patrOnize bowling alleys
which are connected with saloons
though he himself played elsewhere
Under such circumstances, and unde
Others as easily conceivable, the trus
tees of the church would certainly b.
justified in holding a serious confer
ence with their pastor. Under wha
circumstances the minister would b.
justified in threatening to chastis
those who called on such an erran,
is not so easily understood. Bowl

be easily abused. What in the case Q

MOSQUITOES TO BLAME.
Proven That Yellow Fever is Spread
Through Their Agency.

Proven That Yellow Fever is Spread
Through Their Agency.
HAVANA, January 9.-The Ameri-
can commission under the superinten-
dence of Dr. Reed, which has been
making experiments at Quemados as
to the propagation of the yellow fever
germs by the mosquito has obtained
extremely satisfactory results.
DIR. Reed says the experiments show
beyond a doubt that there IS no con-
tagion from an infected person or from
infected clothing, but that the mos
quitos alone are responsible for the
spread of the disease. In the course
of the commissions investigations, six
non-immune persons were infected di-
rect by the bite OF mosquitoes which
had previously bitten yellow fever pa
tients. and five of these developed yell
low fever.
The last experiment made proved
conclusively, DR.. Reed contends, the
theory of propagation by mosquitoes.
A special building was constructed OF
disinfected material and one of the
rooms was divided into two sections
by a wire mosquito screen. In one
section were placed disinfected bed
ding and clothing and in the other
bedding and clothing from the yellow
fever hospital which had not been dis
infected. Two non-immunes occupied
the two sections.
In the former were put several in
fected mosquitoes. The patient remain
ed in this room only long enough to
be bitten and in four days, pro-
nounced case of yellow fever develop
ed. The patient is now convalescent
The other subject slept in the infect
ed bedding for many nights and has
not contracted the fever.
Both patients have been sleeping for
twenty nights in garments worn by
yellow fever patients and bedding in
the hospital.
Dr. Reed says they are growing fat,
and that in no instance in the course
of the commissions investigations has
a case of yellow fever developed from
exposure to infected bedding or cloth

ARGUMENTS BEING MADE
In the Trial of Barney Devine for
the MurHcr OF Clarence warwick.

In the Trial of Barney Devine for
the Murder OF Clarence Warwick.
The arguments in the case of State
of Ohio VS.. Barney Devine in the Com
mon Pleas Court at st. Clairsville oc-
cupied all of yesterday, and the ar
guments will likely not close until
noon to-day.
Prosecuting Attorney Armstrong
commenced his argument Tuesday af
ternoon and closed yesterday forenoon
and was followed by H. T. Shepherd
for the defense, who spoke until one
o'clock. Hon. Albert Lawrence for
the defense, then took up the argu-
ment, and was still talking at the close
of the session for the day. When he
closes, Judge briggs, for the State, will
close.
The trial is being watched carefully
by citizens all over the county, and
not for many years has there been
trial in court in which so much inter-
est has been manifested. 1t was re-
ported yesterday that the two jurors
who were suffering with severe colds
were somewhat improved.
During the last few days the Sheriff
has received many rumors as to the
whereabouts Of Matt Taylor, the third
party wanted for completely in the
murder, but upon investigation has
found them all to be without any
foundation. and so far no clue as to
where Taylor is can be found, and it
is very doubtful If he will ever be
found. The concensus of opinion is
that Taylor is in the Philippine ISL
ands. A large number of citizens in
the neighborhood Of the Warwick
home are still in attendance at the
court

EPIDEMIC Of IA GRIPPE.

MER HANTs EMBARRASSED
Ia Many Instances Because Clerks
Are Affected With the Mulady.
Does Not .aanifcst Itself I'm as Sc
we're Form as II Did During the
Epidemic Of Ten Years Ago.

La grippe has firm hold upon the
people OF Wheeling and vicinity at
present, and every industrial institu-
ton and mercantile establishment is
more or less embarrassed because of
employees being stricken by the dis
ease, while half the families in the
city have cases of the disease. La
grippe has not been so generally pre-
valent here since the epidemic of 1890,
when many cases resulted fatally.
physician stated to a Register re-
porter yesterday that there are prob
ably .as many cases of the disease in
Wheeling now as ten years ago, but
that the disease manifasts itself in
much milder form. AS an evidence of
the widespread ravages of the disease,
the Register stated a few days ago
that no less than forty-two employees
of one large department store were de-
tanned at their homes. Four of the
Register carrier boys are victims of
the disease, and the management is
compelled to ask the indulgence of
subscribers in case OF late delivery of
the paper by substitute carriers. SUB
scribers are urged to promptly notify
the counting room, either personally
or by phone, of irregular delivery.
As stated above, the la grippe of
1901 is mild in comparison with the
disease which prevailed in 1890. Then
it appeared to affect the heads of its
victims. and usually left them with
some ailment which continued per-
manently Or for long period. The
very similar to this. The cases in
Wheeling and elsewhere in this neigh
borhood are more like aggravated
colds. The popular remedy in 1890
was antipyrine. which advanced in
price on account of the great demand.
from ST. an ounce to $3.50 an ounce;
and 1t will be remembered that the
supply in this country was exhausted.
Antipyrine is quoted to-day at SIS
cents an ounce, so that the cure is
much less expensive than heretofore.
The present epidemic of grip is prob
ably one Of the conditions OF the
weather, and persons who have not yet
fallen victims to la grippe should OBJ
serve some very simple precautions.
Great care should be exercised in keep
ing the feet dry and warm, and the
night air should be avoided as much
as possible. Care should also be taken
in eating, and people should confne
themselves as far as possible to plain,
wholesome food.
An eastern authority in discussing
Ia grippe. and particularly that mild
form which is described as an aggra-
waited cold. states that the gravity Of
the disease is underestimated Pa
tients remain in the house while they
have a fever and go out into the air

cases patients are left with cough,

A very bold robbery was perpetrat-
ed in the centre of the business dis
trict this morning about 1 o'clock
Some unknown party or parties broke
in the plate glass in the south side of
the north window of Shelf Bros jew
elry store, at Eleventh and Market
streets. The hole broken was only
about one foot square, but the thieves
made an excellent haul, securing
everything in the window that could
be taken through the hole.
Night Waterman Harry Wilkinson,
who is employed by the firm, was
asleep in chair in the back room
when the robbery occurred, but the job
was so quietly done that he was not
awakened.
Just what was secured could not be
learned this morning, as there is no
way of ascertaining exactly what was
in the window. There are missing,
however, watches, jewelry and rings,
to an unknown value. The only arti-
cles left were some clocks too large to
get through the hole.
The police all over the city are on
the outlook for the robbers.
