The incubation of Miss King, a trained nurse,

is an outcome of the incubation for yellow fever Of
people In Cuba by means of mosquitoes. One IS
foolish and criminal the other If there pos

Cuban victims 1t criminal act anc the perpetra
tors ought to have been punished It seems, however
that instead the mosquitoes having ben fed on dead
bodies some of the victims inoeculated with
blood poison and killed. which was as criminal and re-
prehensibe though they had been killed by yellow
fever
As if TO confirm the theory of blood poison dis

scientific gathering IN New York that during the
summer he had made special study of the mosquito,
and had disseced hundreds of them without discover

be able inject yellow fever poison into people 1t IS
more plausible infer that a minute particle of sep
tic poison which chung to the mosquitoes bill entered
the body of the victim when he bit him and caused
death. This is the explanation given by distin-
guished physicians. Why these people should have
been put to death at all is a mystery. What possible

"eo WEST, YOUNG LADY"
Mary A. Livermore Gives This Ad-
vice to Eastern Girls.

Boston POSt.)
Mrs. Nary A. LivermOre, in an inter-
view last evening. denied that she in
her address last Saturday before the
Public School association intended any
severe or unjust criticism on the treat
ment of women in New England.
"I am a Yankee of Yankees" said
she. Il was born in Boston. as were
my parents and grandparents before
me. but I must say that with an ex-
cess Of 10000 women in the population
of Massachusetts it is not surprising
that the women do not receive the at
tention and courtesy that is not only
due them, but which is given them in
the more sparsely settled portions Of
the country, where women are in the
minority.
What you find wanting in this world
is what you most desire. In the west
ern part of our country the society Of
true and noble women is far more rare
than it is here in Boston. and, conse-
quently, more appreciated.
1.-THE women Of the west have a much
wider sphere of influence, and can as
sert themselves, and in the social and
business life mark out for themselves
a career far more distinguished than
can their sisters in the east.
For this reason l advise with HOT-
ace Greeley: Go west. young lady
There she viii have the opportunity to
develop her faculties and show, without
prejudice, in a country not overcrowd-
ed, her true worth in a social and BUSH
ness life"
Mrs. Livermore added that the cause
of disresoect toward women in New
England where it was occasionally
seen. was owing to the fact that women
had not exerted themselves to maintain
their rights. and IN many cases was
due to the lack of interest IN their du-
ties, not only social, but political.
