SAVED BY A DREAM.
interesting Incident i'm the Late
Bishop WhippIe's Life.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. 21.-Hector
Baxter, of st. Marks Episcopal Church.
contributes an anecdote of Bishop WhippIe.
which the latter related not long before his
death. Cornelia Whipple. the bishops first
wife, believed in dreams. She was a wom-
an who seldom dreamed, but when she did.
the dream invariably came true. On a
Sunday morning in October, at Faribault.
many years ago, she aroused the bishop
and told him that her son. who was living
In New Mexico. was dying. She had seen
him in a dream and there could be no mis-
take about it. She described him as he
lay on "A hard bed i'm a miserable adobe hut
and declared that his serious condition was
due to inattention. She urged the bishop
TO proceed without delay 10 New Mexico
and rescue the boy.
A few hours later Bishop Whipple, obedi-
ent 10 his wife's wishes, was flying south
ward as fast as steam could take him
When he reached St. Louis he found a teIe-
gram awaiting him from his wife. 1t read:
proceed without delay TO New Mexico.
precious He followed directions TO the
letter and reached his stepson's side Just
In time. The scene was just as Mrs. Whip
pie had described il. The boy was sick
unto death on a pallet of straw in an adobe
hut. What medical attention he had re-
ceived was doing him more harm than
good. 1t was apparent that he could
scarcely survive another day in such sur
roundings. Bishop Whipple had left in
such a hurry that he mad neglected to
bring any more money than he needed for
his fare and travelling expenses. In his di-
lemma he went to the bank and told his
story 10 the cashier-a manly young Mexi-
can. He needed money to get his son out
OF the country, would the bank honor a
draft?
The cashier was impressed with the bish-
ops recital. Any one could tell by look
ing at your face" said he. that you were
a bishop OF the church OF God, and that
you speak the truth. l will be glad to- ac-
cOmmodate you. How much money do YOU
WANT" The bishop drew on the bank for
500. and he and the sick man were soon
on the way north. The mothers dream
saved the boys life, and the loan was re-

BLACKLEG IN LIVE STOCK.


Prof. r. A. Craig. of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Purdue University and
assistant State veterinarian. says that
while blackleg is a disease that has been
known for a long time and vaccination FOR
its prevention has been practiced for sew
eral years. this means is not generally
known here. The disease was formerly of
much more frequent occurrence than at the
present time, but there still remain centers
of infection that cause the loss of many
dollars worth of stock each year. The dis
ease is infectious, but not contagious; that
is. the germs live on the plants on which
the animals feed or i'm the water they drink
and thus gain entrance into the body, but
they are not conveyed from one animal TO
another by merely coming close together.
TIL germs are usually found on the grasses
growing upon low, rich land. Tine spore or
seed of the germ is very hardy and may De
dried in the making of hay and produce the
trouble when il is fed in the winter Most
cases occur in summer and fall.
1.-THE symptoms are sudden onset with
high fever. difficult breathing, stiffness.
lameness, colicky pains, loss of appetite and
great depression. Swellings occur upon the
body, about the thighs, chest. neck or
shoulder, and these have a peculiar crackle
when pressed upon by the finger. They are
filled with gas. The course of the disease
is very rapid, only lasting from a few hours
TO a few DAYS. Young, well-kept cattle from
four months to two years old are the
favorite subjects, although older cattle may
be attacked. Very few recover and treat
ment is useless in the majority of cases.
Every animal dying of the disease should
be burned.
ION farms where cases occasionally occur
ii Is advisable to v~acctnate. The vaccine
may be obtained from several reliable firms
and its use has passed beyond all expert
mental stages so that 1t may be relied upon
TO greatly diminish the loss. 1t is easily

Ough understanding of a murder case
founded on circumstantial evidence is to
acquaint ones self with the geography OF

Interest in the Keith case is revived by
the fact that the date of his execution Is
drawing close. Unless the Supreme Court
reVerses the judgment of death, the muir

Many soft names have been applied to
young women since there were young wom-

about the incest term which could be APP
piled to them. He has been having a great
deal of trouble with them on account Of
their propensity to disturb his religious
meetings.. Instead of reproving them as a
layman might do and applying stern meas
ures, he calls them down.

PLAGUE is in LIVERPOOL
SIX PERSONS HAVE DIED AND sUs-
PECTs ARE IN THE HOSPITAL.
Meeting of COnsuIs for the Purpose Of
Taking Precautions to Prevent
Spread of Disease.

LIVERPOOL. Oct. 3o.-Dr. Hope. medical
officer of the port, has conferred with the
American and other consuls regarding
bubonic plague precautions. and has ar
ranged to supplement the Board of Trade
examination of outgoing vessels so as to
meet the desires of the representatives Of
foreign countries. A representative of the
local government board will visit Liverpool
on behalf of the government to confer with
DR.. Hope.
At a meeting of the Municipal Council to-
day DIR. Clarke, chairman of the sanitary
committee of the port made an official
statement with reference TO the plague and
gave details as to each case under suspi-
cion. Six persons in all have died since
Sept. whose maladies showed symptoms
of the plague. There are several suspected
cases in the hospital. though the precise
number has not been given. Additional
inspectors will be appointed and other pre-
cautions taken TO prevent the spread of the
disease.
The nature of the official report has re-
assured the public and allayed apprehen-
sion. Although two of those who have died
were in Glasgow in August, nothing is
known to connect them with the plague
there. In seeking for the origin of the dis
ease in Liverpool it is thought a policeman
who handled the clothing of the persons
brought to the mortuary at Princes dock
may have communicated the plague to the
family in the house where he lodged. as
two of the household have died. He, how
ever has not been liz.

SILVER COINS "SWEATED"
LIGHTENED BY WARE PLATERS AND
THEN PUT IN CIRCULATION.
HaIf-Do1Iar and Dollar Pieces Used
by Dishonest Men, Who Save
Purchase of Bar silver.

NEW YORK. Oct. 9O.-The New York
subtreasury has asked the aid of the Wash
ington Secret-service Bureau in running
down those persons who are responsible for
the flood of lightweight silver half-dollar
and dollar pieces recently discovered in
this city. The method employed by the op-
orators Is unique, and in effect it is similar
TO the sweating of gold coins once so
common, with the addition that the silver
coins are plated. When ightened the coins,
retaining their original appearance. are
again placed in circulation, requiring a
trained eye and an experienced touch to
discover that they have been tampered
with. After a bit of the wear and tear
money undergoes the coins which have been
operated upon reveal their lightness at
ance. 1t is not permissible for the govern
ment to redeem the coins at their face
value and, of course the intrinsic worth
is much less than the amount for which
they have passed current. Electro-platers,
who have made a speciality of silverware.
use bar silver for their purpose. In place
of the crude metal, it is explained several
smaller firms have utilized silver coins
of the half and dollar denominations, and.
having obtained from them a deposit of
silver upon the article. which is being
plated. have used the money again at its
face value. BY this operation they gain
as coin metal is practically pure, they are
able to put "A finer and more expensive
finish upon the goods than if honest meth
DDS were employed with bar metal.
