The Department Of State Is informed

walls in n any Of the towns there is Of
vlrulent and destructive type, and on ac-
count of it's rapid development and the ex-
ceptionally high rate Of mortality, general
apprehension and alarm prevails through
out the country. During the week pre-
ceding June 10 there were twenty-three
cases reported, twenty-one of which were
at Zagazig and two at Minich. Sixteen
cases were admitted into the hospital and
five were found dead outside of the hos
pital at the former place. OF those ad-
mitted to the hospital six died.
The sanitary department applied for
$1,000 to meet exigencies, which was
granted from the reserve fund. very
singular circumstance occurred just before
the breaking out Of the plague, which was
made note Of by the sanitary department.
1t was noticed that the rats in different
parts of the town appeared to be in a

fragrant ExtortiOn.
but the most fragrant case Of extortion, -
the report says "was that in which the
victims were Robert Richardson and Will
liam Richardson, two colored men employ
ed in the House bath rooms as laborers at
s72O per annum. They had been so employ
ed for about twenty years, but in August.
1898, one w. w. Wood. a white man, was
placed upon the roll and continued there
for four months, taking the place Of Rob-
ert in August and October, and Of William
in September and November.
I'VE have not learned" says the Moody
committee, that Wood did anything be-
sides drawing his pay. He never even ap-
peared in the bath rooms. The Richard
sons performed all the work, but each lost
two months pay. The transaction was
without their consent. In April. 1900, w. H.
Ridley, a colored man residing in Media,
Pa. came to the bath rooms with another
colored man, apparently with the purpose
of taking the place Of one or other Of the
Richardson's. The final result was that the
Richardson's agreed each to pay $40 per
month to Ridley, and did SO by registered
letters for eight months. Robert Richard
son testified that this was done with the
clerks orders; but this the clerk denied,
asserting his ignorance Of the transaction.
The Richardson's continued to do the work
Ridley did nothing"

The Public Gallows "a Century Ago.

The Public GallOws a Century Ago.
Even if the Licycle had been invented
hundred years ago touring could
hardly have become very popular-at
all events. for solitary cyclists. The
old guidebooks were by no means
cheerful reading. A run from London
to East Grinstead. distance of five or
six and twenty miles, would have TAX
en- the wheelman past three gibbets.
and it was just as likely as not that
from one or the other of them a body
would be swinging in the wind.
Up till the beginning Of the nine
teenth century the gallows was almost
as frequent landmark as finger posts
or public houses have become now.
The traveller approaching York is di-
rected by the guidebooks to turn
round by the gallows and three wind
mills" and the road out of Durham is
between the gallows and Crokehill."
Going out of Wells you 'cross the
brook and pass by the1gallows."
Any number of such directions can
be cleaned from the old books for the
guidance of travellers hundred years
ago, and as these interesting objects
were put up and the dead bodies of
malefactors left upon them for the
special edification of footpads and
highwaymen there was a suggestive
ness about them that must have given
a special piquancy to cycle touring II 1t
had been in vogue at that time.-Lon-

Where the Leak WaS.

Once, years ago, when Daniel Web
ster was secretary of state, there was
an important foreign matter up for dis
cussion before the cabinet, and the ut
most secrecy was of course maintain
ed, but the whole thing was blaZoned
about in few hours after the cabinet
meeting. So the president hastily sent
for his cabinet to talk over this leak.
Each man had different idea of it.
Finally Mr.. Webster arose. saying,
you. gentlemen. go on with your dis
cussion. and I'll be back in minute"
In few minutes he returned and re-
peated every word that had been spo-
ken in the room in his absence. He
explained that if. by standing close to
the door outside the cabinet room, you
held your ear to it. you could not dis
tiuguish one ineligible word; but if.
moving back from the door and a little
to one side upon a certain spot in the
carpet. you kept an attentive ear, ev-
cry word could be plainly heard as
though whispered.
Some enterprising eavesdropper had
been experimenting with the door and
had found that upon that exact spot
there was some acoustic property of
the door or room that conveyed the
sound in perfect entirety.-Saturday
