FEAR A SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC.
Danger Acknowledged by the New
York Board of Health.

NEW YORK, March mot since the
disease first broke out, SO 1t was decided
at the board of health today, has there
been greater danger of contagion from
smallpox than at the present time. The
spread of the disease in this city has been
rapid, and the increase in the number of
eases in the last month has been more
than double that of the preceding month.
Not only is this true, but the type of the
disease is more virulent than it was in the
beginning. The first case officially report
ed was on November 5. when Susan Craw-
ley, colored, was found TO be afflicted with
the disease. In that month thirty-four
persons were removed to the hospital on
North Brother Island for treatment. These
cases were of the mildest form, and only
one death was reported.
The number of cases has now grown to
an alarming extent. In February. in the
boroughs OF Manhattan and the Bronx
alone the figures are: Cases reported 81;
deaths, q.
The reports of cases from the outlying
boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and Rich
mond for February are not yet complied
but 1t Is reasonably certain, the health
board physicians declare that the total
be placed at 130. OF this number, which
is very nearly accurate, there have been
forty-one deaths.
Since the existence OF the disease was
reported in November last, there have
been, all told, not less than 3l2 cases of
smalpox. The total number of patients
who have died will reach fifty odd

New Haven Man Interested in n

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March michael
]. Fahey, of this city, manager of a

received today, that he has suddenly
become wealthy. He has been informed
that ne has an unconditional mining lease
of 1900 acres of valuable coal, oil. and
mineral land near Gastonia, on the border
line between North and South Carolina
The land included in the lease is thirty
by twenty miles in dimension. For two
years Mr.. Fahey and the Rev. F. r.
Elan. of South Carolina, have been pros
pecting quietly. They believed there was
mineral wealth in the tract. First they
secured graphite, coal, and slate from the
land. They continued their private in
designations and few days ago the Rev.
Mr.. Elan discovered a rich oil we'll
The first presence of the oil was found
by Mr.. Elam on February % and he sent
sample bottles of it to Mr.. Fahey here.

saw that the oil was of a superior quality

Modern Industrial Framing

From the recent occurrences at Belle
vue it appears that some of the nurses in
that institution were neglecting their
work for the purpose of 'hazing' a new
conner and thereby caused serious in :ury
to one of the patients. This negligence
Is but a phase OF carelessness and lack
of discipline only too common among
young Americans today.
The drill; TO which modern young folk
are subjected is a good deal like a badly
fitting shoe. Too much attention is paid
TO them I'm one line and not enough in an
other. Innumerable clubs, institutions
and training schools are established for
their benefit, but they do not always re-

KICKED THE BENGAL TIGER.
A PIucky QunEEn Used His Heels
with Good Effect.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 1.-Rajah, the
Bengal tiger which killed young Nelson
at Bostock's Zoo two weeks ago today,
was again on the rampage this afternoon
and a most exciting time followed.
George Boyker, a bear tanner, released a
quagga, or South African wild ass. from
its cage and as it was passing the tiger
cage the latter threw itself against the
door, which gave way. The tiger imme-
diately started in pursuit of the quagga.
and Boyker ran into the vacant cage for
safety.
The quagga rushed for the arena with
the tiger In close pursuit. Catching up
with its prey the tiger sprang and its
huge claws struck the quagga's hips and
tore the flesh from them. The frightened
animal continued its race around the
arena and was In direct line with William
Tanner an employe. when he was warned
of his danger and escaped
The tiger continued in pursuit and was
about to spring second time when Cap
tain Bonavita fired at the tiger with his
revolver. The bullet struck an inch be
low the heart and so stunned the beast
that it dropped to the ground
The tiger recovered. however as the
quagga made the third circuit of the
arena and was crOuching for another
spring when the little animal suddenly
stopped. Its heels flew back with the
quickness of lightning and struck the
crouching tiger directly in the head
Rajah dropped while the quagga con-
tnued his mad race around the arena
Captain Bonavita headed the uuagea off
and drove it to its cage. When BonaVita
entered the arena to force Rajah to his
cage the tiger seemed to be uninjured by
the bullet and the subsequent kick which
had stunned him for the moment.

THE FORMALITIES OBSERVED
me Cabinet Members Resign and
VIII He Renomipnted

Al the meeting OF the Cabinet yester-
uay all of the members formally rendered
their respective designations to the Presi-
uent, to take effect upon the nomination
ana qualification of their successors. The
designations will be formally accented by
the President and each member will be
again nominated ard their names acted
upon at the extraordinary session of the
Senate which the President has called for
that purpose.
Attorney General Griggs will remain in
office until about April 1, when, unless
something unforeseen intervenes, he will
be succeeded by Philip c. Knox, the
Pittsourg attorney FOR the Carnegie in
terests. Mr.. Knox has not formally ac-
cepted the PORTFOLIO it is said, and de-
sires some time to arrange his private
matters before entering the Cabinet.
The resignation OF the Cabinet when the
Executive in Office is to be his own sue
cessor has but one precedent. General
Grant about two weeks after he had been
inaugurated second time sent to the
Senate the names of the members of his
old Cabinet, who had resigned. Other
Presidents who have been reelected to
succeed themselves allowed their Cabinet
officers to continue in office without re-
nomination. President Mckinley recently
decided, however. that to avoid any ques-
ton he would renOminate his advisers for
the positions they now occupy.
The meeting of the Cabinet was taken
up with minor matters and odds and ends
of the closing Administration. Inaugural
plans were informally discussed.
Some late information from Governor
General Wood on conditions in Cuba was
read at the meeting. The purport of this
was that the situation in the island
growing out of the recently adopted SEN
ate resolutions is encouraging.

Crusades.

! The fashion of calling this, that or the
| other fanatical movement crusade is
rather deplorable one. IT indicates a
disposition to borrow great names for ev-
| eryday occurrences. II also indicates
considerable ignorance OF the history and
causes OF the true crusades
The crusades of the Middle Ages

were so in many OF their phases, did not
| appear thus to the men who acted in
| them 1t must be remembered that the
centuries in which these expeditions were
! successfully formed were ages of dense
ana dark superstitution. There was an
| implicit belief in all sorts of things which
would not receive moments credence
now from the most ignorant dweller in
an East Side slum. TO the Kings who Or
ganized them, these crusades seemed en-
inentiy practical, and from their point of
view their belief was Justified
In the first place, 1t was a matter of
the most thorough conviction with all the
nations of Europe that the recovery of
the Holy Land, or at all events the Holy
Sepulchre. from the Saracens would gain
the whole crusading army admittance to
paradise. IT was not doubted that such
Il result would be most pleasing to
heaven. aud that, aside from the great
and lasting benefit which this would be
to all Christendom, the relics obtainable
in Palestine would cure various diseases.
and conduce to the physical, mental. and
spiritual health of any neighborhood where
they happened to be. There was for GEN
eratiOns a stone known as the Lee Pen
NY in England, which came originally
from the Holy Land. and was affirmed
TO have the power Of curing hydrophobia;
and there were hundreds of other relics

con; and the work is not commonly so
hard as to be overtaXing. 1t is not too
much to ask any young man or woman, in
ordinary health, u attend to business for
from seven to ten hours a day, and do
nothing else. Aside from the mercantile
part of the transaction 1t is no more than
necessary drill. 1t does not conduce TO
the good, the health, or even the eventual
happiness OF the employees to allow them
to obtrude their private affairs on the life
OF the office. Most of us have requested
shopsirls to attend to our wants at a
time when the request broke into an ami
mated conversation about the possibility
that Name" would go to the dance to-
night, or ''Charley's'' errant fancy would
settle on some particular girl. 1t is un-
pleasant for the customer to be the I'M
willing recipient of these condolences and
it is bad social training for the girl.
If the average employer undertakes to
repress such frivolities he is regarded,
generally, as a tyrant and an oppressor
1t is a difficult thing to do. OF course, in
many lines of business there are two or
three hours each day, and sometimes
more. when there is little going on. and
the clerks have really nothing to do at all.
How far this interval may be employed in
harmless conversation it remains for the
proprietor of the house to decide. But it
is certain that if he can succeed in estab
fishing such public sentiment in his
establishment that 1t will be considered
out of the question for the clerks to OBJ
trude their private affairs on the ears of
the customers. and do slipshod. careless
and unwilling work, he will have done as
much good as if he founded an industrial

Judicial Salaries.

in the day of small things, when the
scale of living in the United States was
SO modest that a man with an income OF
five or six thousand dollars a year was
nabob, the American public felt that a
little more than the maximum Just
named, paid to our Supreme Court
Judges with life tenure of their Offices
ought TO be sufficient to remove them
from all concern regarding their expenses,
and render them absolutely Indifferent to
the strife of parties, the movements of
Industrial or commercial forces. and. in
fact, TO everything but their great and
glorious duty of eNpounding and protect
ing the Constitution OF the United States
in the American tribunal of last resort
Since the days of Marshall and Story
things have changed vastly in our coun-
try. Without attempting to review the
processes or phenomena of that change
il is sufficient 70 say that. today. Jus
ttces of the Supreme Court are compelled
To live, entertain, maintain the dignity Of
their station, and provide for their fami-
lies upon Incomes the approximate equiv
alent of the salary paid to the managing
clerk OF a leading New York firm of cor
poration lawyers. Now. most men who
occupy the social position necessarily
that Of Supreme Court Justices are count
ed poor if their revenues are as meagre
as sixty thousand dollars a year. and the
court is constantly listening to speeches
from members of the bar whose annual
earnings are above a hundred thousand
dollars.
II is true that there may have been
instances where members of the Supreme
Court have come to the bench with hand
some private fortunes, derived from their
connection with rich railway or other
corporations, but they have been few.
The majority Of our highest jurists have
been what now would be considered alb
jectly poor.
All this is wrong. We are wont to de-
ride great many things English, but our
transatlantic relatives have always been
wiser than we in raising their judiciary
far above the thought of the morrow as
TO their financial condition. As the ruling
classes in England have always believed,
and the masses no doubt with them the
way to make judges Independent and in
fiuence-proof in mind is to make them
safely independent in pocket
The practical British view Is that a
man does not cease to be human when
he dons the ermine and the wig: hence
that, from the time he ascends the bench
to the end of his days, he ought to be
protected from the possibility of ever
finding himself leaning toward the views
OF a Minister or party in the hope that
a little Guessing over here and a trifiing
evasion there mig... lead to an increase
of his emoluments, or of his ability to
secure governmental patronage or other
desirable things.
So John Bull pays his judges the salary
that we pay TO the President of the
United States, and thinks the money well
invested in ftgdfrfal indapand.pna
freedom from extraneous influence of any
sort whatever No doubt he is sensible
and right in this. and unquestionably he
has set us an example which it would
have been the part Of wisdom for us to
follow years and years ago.

Inauguration weather Chances.

times is promised The city is filling up

remains to make ii all that the President
and all cheerfully minded people would
have it but the failure, so far, of the
clerk of the weather to enter into treaty
with the authorities ensuring as bright
and sunshiny a day as the circumstances
demand
The Secretary of State has been to see
the autocrat of the clouds, only to be curt
ly told that Hay always gets rained on.
Commissioner Kasson has offered to ne
gotiate a reciprocity convention with the
moody and changeful potentate, and Of
fered to trade the Fourth of July with
him. Thus far no response has been re-
ceived. Prof. Moore, who is on calling
terms with the weather clerks family. and
has several of the latter's relatives in his
bureau. has tried his best TO get some ex-
preston; but the old man has gone off on
a trip to the Great Lakes and the Rockies,
and will not be home until late Sunday
night. So we are left in doubt to
whether the great day is to be one Of
prancing horses and glittering equipages
of perspiring joy and sunstrokes, of scar
let uniforms and glistening arms. or one
of gasping hoarseness. of shivering cold
and shakes, of scarlet fever. diphtheria,
mumps, and measles.
Perhaps if Mr. Mckinley We're to send
in special message recommending that
the thanks of Congress be extended to the
clerk of the weather, if all go well on
Inauguration Day, that might fix it. in
the mean time, let all good people hope for
bright skies. and that the chief figure of
the occasion may have jolly good time
and be happy. II would be a surly ma
ture which could wish him personally any
thing less.

Commander b. F. Tilly, in charge of the

board the Abarenda a wild man from the
Solomon Islands. He speaks no language
which any of the Americans can compre-

ever, Commander Tilly states that he has
been able TO learn that the man is fugi-
tive from his people, who are cannibals
and that he fears to return to them be-
cause they will kill and eat him. He was
brought to the boat for protection, and,
according to the statement of the COM
mander, is very faithful servant, and
willing to perform any kind OF mental
work.
Although unquestionably a savage. he is
good natured and obedient. His face is
covered with tattoo marks. Two photo
