WHAT DID HE EXPECT?

A gentleman took house D. a Lon
don suburb which proved to be of the
usual modern jerry built order of ar
chitecture, so much so that one day
the rain came through the roof and
regularly swamped the place.
The gentleman was naturally angrv
and when the landlord called for his
rent the tenant exclaimed indignantly:
II say it is too bad the other night
the rain came through my roof and
gave me a regular shower bath. You
really ought to do something"
"Ought to do something" growled
the landlord, who was a very surly in
dividual "What are you complaining
Of? Do you expect me to provide you
with soap and towels too?'-London

A COMMISSIONS REPORT.
Marine Hospital Service Investigates
The Subject of Leprosy.


WASHINGTON, July 10.-A commits
sion from the Marine Hospital Service,
appointed to investigate leprosy con-
sisting of Drs. j. II. White, George Z.
Vaughn and NJ. j. Rosenau, has COM
pleted it's inquiry and is now preparing
it's report 1t has located about 900 cases
of the disease in the United States. Lep-
rosy, while contagious is not neces-
sarily infectious AS long as the af-
flicted regards the ordinary sanitary
precautions, including cleanliness, and
has wholesome food, the board says the
danger of communicating the disease
to others is reduced to a minimum, and
is not one-hundredth as great as the
spread of consumption by contact.
A member of the Marine Hospital
Corps, in discussing leprosy said
"Leprosy Is a wonderful disease, and
the report from this bureau, which is
to go to Congress within a few months
will contain a vast amount of knowl-
edge of public interest. 1t is not a gem
EARLY known fact. but it is neverthe-
less true that leprosy is not an abso-
lutely incurable disease. The causes of
leprosy rest principally in the direc-
ton of bad sanitation, poor and I'M
wholesome food, abstinence from bath
ing and oVercrowding of the population
such as occurs in our large cities. The
consumption of fish as food is danger
GUS in this connection when such food
is not wholesome"

A RAID ON POOL ROOMS.
New York Police Descended Oh Seven
Places and Arrested Gamblers.

New York, April 1S.-The commit
tee of fifteen raided seven alleged
pool rooms Wednesday afternoon.
The raids were made on warrants is
sued by Justice jerome and upon
evidence obtained by the staff of de-
tectives working for the committee
under the direction of Superinten-
dent John McCullagh. The raids in
each case were personally conducted
by individual members of the com
mttce. assisted by their own dctec-
fivos and policemen of the regular
force from the precinct in which the
raid was made.
In only one place did the raiders
fail to make any arrests, and {. {.
Brewster, of the committee, says the
inmates of the place received tip
from the police that the place was
about to be raided.
4 feature of the raiding was an cf-
fort made by at least two of the
police officials to prove that the
places raided were not pool rooms,
hut orderly and we'll conducted clubs.
Twenty persons in all were arrested.
At a room at Fifth avenue and
Fourteenth street. no prisoners were
captured and no evidence obtained.
1t was in connection with the latter
place that Mr.. Brewster accused the
police of warning the pool room pro-
priptor. He said the police moved
so slowly that he urged them ia
hurry. but met with rebuff. When
Mr.. Brewster reached the place ahead
of the police his agents told him
some one had come to the place a
few minutes after he went into the
station and given a tip to 40 or 50
men within. They were still coming
out when he got there. When the
police got there the place was empty.

a FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Boiler of IA River Steamer ExpiOdes.
Killing Four People and Probably
Fatally InJuring Seven Others.

Vancouver, b. c., April 1S.-Four
people are dead and seven probably
fatally injured as the result of an ex-
plosion Wednesday afternoon on the
steamer Ramona. One of the plates
in the rear of the boiler blew out,
tearing away the whole front of the
vessel and knocking into the water
all of those in that part of the steam
er. The accident happened when
the boat was in midstream opposite
Fort Langley, 80 miles from Nancou-
YER.
Two women, Mrs. Harry Morrison
and Mrs. j. Bailey, were standing on
the front deck and were knocked into
the water and drowned Two deck
hands named James Mack and An
drew Phipps, were struck by one of
the flying boiler plates and instantly
killed, being so horribly burned by
the escaping steam as to be unrecog-
nizable. y. Power, the purser; j.,
Maynard, the mate, and Victor
NOVEL;, the fireman, who had gone on
that day for the first time, were
burned so badly that they cannot
possibly recover.
our Indians were ureau1 ullN
scalded and only one OF these is eX-
pected to recover. One Indian baby
is at the point of death. Capt. Sey-
mour and John Oliver, the engineer,
who owned the larger interest in the
vessel, were unhurt. Both Mrs. Nor
rison and Mrs. Bailey had left their
babies upstairs and had come on
deck for fresh air. The babies were
unhurt. Power, the purser, has gone
insane and the others are in such a
condition that no hope is held out
for their recovery.
The Ramona is a stern-wheel river
steamer of about 300 tons. She is
ten years old, but her boiler was com
paratively new, having been put in
last summer. On her fatal trip she
had only five passengers, the two
women who were drowned and the
Indians who were burned. The steam
er was valued at about $4,000.

a HUMAN PIN CUSHION.
Dozens of Needles are Extracted from
Girl Living i'm French Town.

Paris, April IA dispatch from
st. Germain, near this city, describes
the extraordinary case of Julienne
LandrieuX, servant girl, from
whose body dozens of needles are
being extracted. The girl complained
of considerable irritation of the skin,
and last Thursday went to a local
druggist, who found number of
needles emerging from various parts
of her body. He extracted them with
pncers. The girl has returned sew
eral times a day since and up to
Tuesday morning the druggist had
drawn out 120 needles from her arms,
hands, feet, breast, the lobe of her
ear, her eyelids and the corner of
her right eye. The girl experiences
no pain until she feels the needle
piercing the epidermis. The needles
always emerge thick-end first, and
unless Immediately extracted, disap-
pear again.
Two reputable newspapers, the
Matin and the Temps, have investi-
gated the matter and vouch for the
authenticity of the story Mile.
LandrieuX says that five years ago,
when she was II years DID, she amused
herself, with other children, by swal-
lowing quantities of needles. She
swallowed 40 in one day and never
felt any Inconvenience until recently.
While relating the foregoing to the
reporter of the Temps, who saw her
at the druggists, she explained:
81 feel one in my eye now" The
Il riltt nj
lid and with a magnet drew out four
fragments of needles.
A surgeon of the hospital of La
Salpetrire said in an interview that
the case was quite unprecedented.
Needles inserted under the skin were
known to have been borne through
the muscles, but there was no record
of needle introduced into the stom-
ach emerging from the lobe of the
ear.

HALF a BILLION IN GOLD.

New York, April 1s.-The Evening
Post says: Wednesdays summary
OF the United States treasury report
for Tuesday shows that the govern
ment's aggregate gold holdings, for
the first time in history, nave passed
the half billion dollar mark. The

07s,959 was held against certificates

lie. and $l5O,OOO,OO as reserve
against outstanding United States
notes: the balance being free assets.
"This is the largest amount of gold
now held by any single financial in

largest ever held by any institution
with one eXception-the Imperial
Bank of Russia, which in February,
1898, raised it's total holdings to $780,
100000. At present, however, the
Russian bank holds only $371 800, 900.
"The Bank of France now holds
$472 .271 900, it's high record being
S4T9,244, 900 on the 4th of this month.
Most of this gold is held against out
standing notes. The Bank of Eng
land holds S1G9. 100000 gold and the
high record of its history was S245.-
100000, in February, 1895. The pres
ent gold holdings of the Imperial
Bank of Germany are $130,O00,OOO and
it's total of gold and silver combined
never ran above 1929, 100000.
"The United States treasury's gross
gold holdings have increased $40, 439,-

FAR FROM PROSPEROUS.
| Finances Of Japan are I'm "A Much DE
moralized Condition.

Washington, April 1.-THE finan-
cial condition of Japan at present is
far from encouraging and her bank
ers, statesmen and business men are
eXerting every effort to avert pend
ing panic. This statement is con-
veyed to the state department in a
communication from United States
Consul Gen. Bellows, at Yokohama.
The situation, as analyzed by the
shrewdest financiers and statesmen
of the empire, shows that the Chinese
indemnity secured at the close of the
Japan-China war, together with large
national loans, led to the exploiting
of many public and private undertake
ings which caused money to be unu-
sually plentiful among the laboring
classes. This induced eXtravagant
methods of living and is assigned as
potent factor in the large increase
of imports. The amount of indem-
nifty paid by China proved insufficient
for the enterprises projected and
many millions were diverted from
the customary channels of trade to
carry forward these undertakings.
Foreign capital decline to enter the
Japanese market. although tempted
by hattering rates of interest. Liv-
ing expenses have increased during
the past few years over Is per cent,
which causes the scarcity of money
for commercial and industrial pur-
poses to be all the more keenly felt.
