The plague of to-day is the lineal de-
scerdant Of that which was cleared
away from London by the great fire. 1t
represents one of many epidemics
which history teaches us devastated
Europe during past ages; pests, these,
abolished by the disappearance OF the
dirt which forms their soil and breed
ing place. We know the germ OF the
plague. 1t was discovered by kitasato
in 1894, and Independently in the same
year by Yersin. whose protective Sc
rum is used as a preventive. The germ
is somewhat shortened and rounded
bacillus that flourishes at tempera-
ture approaching that of the blood.
Apparently the germ does not multiply
by giving off spores or seedlike
bodies, but by simple division OF the
parent germs into others. 1t is easily
killed. temperature of 2l2 degrees
Fahrenheit destroys it quickly, anc
acids also act efficiently in this dlrec-
ton. Yersin found the plague germ
living in the soil in affected places IN
the earth it appears to be non-virulent,
but placed in another environment
say the animal body. it speedily oeVel-
OBS into disease-producing powers
Cows, sheep, pigs. cats. and, of course
rats are affected by it. but the dog Is
said to enjoy an immunity from the
attentions of this bacillus. Gaining &C
cess to the body, through the skin FOL
the most part, and probably through
some abrasion or wound, the bacilll
make for the glands. and as these swell
as enlarge, constituting what doctor:
call "buboes," the disease has become
known as the "bubonic plague. Inc

Harder Work. More Security.

There are so many that seem to
think that we have fallen on an age
in the world when life is especially
difficult and anxious, when there is
less leisure than of yore, and the
struggle for existence is keener than
ever. On the other hand, we must
remember how much we have gained
in security. 1t may be an age of hard
work, but when this is not carried to
an extreme, it is by no means an evil.
If we have less leisure, one reason is
because life is so full of interest.
Cheerfulness is the daughter of en-
ployment; and on the whole believe
there never was a time when modest
merit and patasnt industry were more
sure of reward.-Sir John Lubbock.

A PLEA FOR PUSH CART MEN
The Italian Compared Favorably
With Some Heavy Swell Female
ObstructiOnists.

Editor Sunday Globe,
hear through tile columns Of the press
that the Italian and Greek push cart men
have to be ever on the move while endeav
oriug to dispose of their wares, as we'll as
make an honest living It seems strange,
passing strange that a son from ahofher
cline, uaturalized or not it matters not
much, is not granted the rights of one Of
our own pedestrians in making stop near
the curb, even on remote streets, l. e., not
directly in the business section. If, as it is
claimed, the push cart men obstruct traffic
on the main thoroughfares, then at least
give them the privilege Of wheeling around
the corner and taking a rest on the nearby
side streets. The push CART men Of Phila-
delphia have far more show than in the
Capital City, yet the Quaker City is much
the buster of the two. It is simply working
a beast-of-burden hardship on a human be-
ing to compel him to shove, shove ever
lastingly up and down grade allowing bare
few minutes only for the purpose of making
sale. Give the men a show, or at least
the semblance of plain humanity as
preached from our fashionable churches to
fashionable audiences every Sunday.
Our most obtrusive circles Of sassiety
women. both departmental and outside, will
assemble ON the sidewalks in squads of
sometimes half dozen and obstruct navi-
cation for five minutes and upwards while
indulging their appetites in scandalmonger-
ing. Then again certain of them with their
hedgling escorts will march four abreast in
their evening promenades on sidewalks al
ready not over wide, and attempt cheap in
suit if they happen to get shoudered by the
passerby, to whom they would give but a
very scaut margin of walking space. The
above are often accompanied by one or more
small bad-tempered dogs of the lady's lap
variety who seem to take II as a granted
privilege to snarl and snap in close prox-
unity to the legs of those who don't happen
to exactly suit their fancy. Then if one of
these spoiled four-footed bundles of snarl-
ing pettism gets up against the toe of a
shoe then "Ohl Gawd" what row there is.
'The dear little darling didn't do thing"
wasn't going to snap anybody" and there
are threats Of calling on the police Of big
Dick Sylvester in order TO enforce female
rowdyism.
Our brother from Italy and Greece does
not cause any such trouble or likely dis
turbance while endeavoring to make an
honest living. l have always found him
very gentlemanlY and Obliging, and in fact
could in most cases give points in good
breeding TO many Of the opposite sex who
claim to be pure snow white American
women. Give the men a show At least
allow them to take rest around the nearest
corner with his mau.power vehicle.

soul in peace as to the disposition of the
funds raised in this country for the United
Irish League. Messrs. Redmond and Dew
lin neither handle nor receive penny
from such funds. They are transmitted to
a committee in ireland composed of men Of
such integrity that even Mr. Irvine will
acknowledge their high character and he
will also see in their personalities that they
are not the men to further revolution,
bloodshed, etc.
The committee is composed of Roman
Catholic Archbishops andCatholic and Prot
eSfdnt laymen of the highest and most un-
improbable characters who would no more

selves of assassination.
The right of ireland to separate indepen-
dence as nation under any form of gov.
ernment she chooses has been given her
by God Almighty England by superior
strength has deprived Ireland of this God
given right. When, therefore, Ireland is
strong enough to demand and enforce its
demand for independence she will be obey
ing the DEGREES of God Himself in doing So
1t is another question entirely whether Ire.
land will ever be able Ito enforce this
patriotic sons of whatever creed and class
they belong to unite in the conviction as in
utterance that Ireland to-day is not able to
demand and enforce the demand for her
independence. Hence it would be a crime
against humanity to make the attempt and
involve her brave peasantry in useless
slaughter. Therefore her lovers, her sons,
and her well-wishers have united in
peaceful, constitutional movement, under
the style and title Of the United Irish
League, to secure through the British par
lament enactments for the redress of her
just grievances and such measure of inde-
pendence OF home rule as the moral sense
of the civilized world, which is invoked,
may compel or induce England to grant to
her sister kingdom. Can the Rev. Mr..
Irvine, as an Irishman who loves his native
land, go with us his Protestant and Catholic
fellow Christians this far? If so we shall
expect him at the next meeting of the
United Irish League, of which his fellow
Christian and friend, William f. Downey,
is the worthy and honored president.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE recent
DEVELOPMENTS in the commercial pos
sibiIities Of the electrical transmits
sion of water power have rendered
available great many water courses,
which though at times technically
available, have until quite recently
been economically without value.
Particularly has such been the case
with streams. Of the Southern Ap-
paIachian region, which, on account
of topographic and climatic conditions,
have great fall and a large and con-
stant flow, and on which, as rule,
the conditions are such as to render
hydraulic developments comparatively
cheap, thus afording potential water
power OF great value to the industrial
life of the country. -; -: -.
On account of the inaccesibility Of
the country in which they are located
these streams haze in the past been
without practical value, but advances
