One of the perplexing problems for
the American authorities at Manila for
years to come will be the prevention
of the spread of pestilence, says spe-
cial dispatch from Washington to the
Chicago Evening Post Standing at
the open door of China, the plague
center of the orient, with communica-
ton by all kinds of small craft, the in
PRODUCTION of cholera and bubonic
plague in the Philippines cannot be
prevented The most that can be eX-
pected of the rigorous methods en-
ployed by quarantine officials of the
archipelago is that they will keep
down the ravages of these dread dis
eases.
If communication could be restricted
20 Hongkong, much of the danger
would be averted because of the alert
ness of the English authorities in that
great port. but while they are em4
ploying every appliance known to SCI
ence to prevent the spread of plague
and cholera Canton. Fatshan, Honam,
Kit Yang and other populouS cities of
Kwangtung province are reeking storm
centers of infection. The Chinese au-
thorities are apathetic. and even If
they tried they would be unable to
enforce even the simplest rules of
health.
Recent reports by Consul Robert NJ.
McWade of Canton give graphic de-
tails of the frightful condition Of af-
fairs. The Chinese, with fatalistic I'M
concern, pursue their daily vocations in
the midst of dying and dead and even
Invent. with characteristic shrewd-
ness, means of profiting from the pes
thence that surrounds them. Their
wits are trained to circumvent all
health regulations. They drink poison
Gus water. eat infected food, breathe
germ laden air and when overtaken
die with a stoIciSm worthy of a better
cause.

when the plague overtakes him. the
Chinaman's friends employ every arti-

Eled with the ashes of his fathers.
That whole city may be contaminat-
ed in this shipment of a plague corpse
is no concern of theirs. This shipment
of bodies. of course, Is prohibited, even
by the Chinese authorities. but they
are continually discovering ingenious
methods of evading the law. A Chi
nese whose home was In kwangtung
province died of the plague at Hong
Kong. One of the customs officials at
Canton was examining the freight OF

the lid of the barrel was removed, two
human feet protruded. and an exam

had died of plague in Hongkong."

MURDER OF THE CAR.
Eyewitness Account of the Assassi-
nation of Alexander III.

From memoirs Of the late Mile.
Hortense Rhea the following eye
witness account Of the assassination
of Alexander Ill. of Russia is pub
lished in The Century:
S'It. was on a Sunday, about 2
o'clock. We were rehearsing a new
play. Some Of us were in the green
room when the emperor passed, es-
corted by his Cossacks.. We were
standing at the window, and with a
smile he gave US the military salute
we knew so well. He had hardly
turned the corner when we heard an
explosion. We looked at one an
other, and the same thought cross
ed each mind-an attempt on the
emperor's life.
We rushed out and arrived at the
corner Of the street just in time to
see, 200 yards from us, the explo-
sion Of the second bomb, which
proved to be the fatal one. The
first had killed two Cossacks. While
they were arresting the assassin the
car, deaf to the entreaties Of his
coachman, who wanted to drive on
with all speed, came out of his car
riage to say word of sympathy to
his dying soldiers. He took their
hands, and, addressing their muir
derer, he said, Wretch, see what
you have done in your blind furyp
'SAfter a last look Of pity at his
faithful servants he was about to
re-enter his carriage when a man
standing at the door dropped anoth-
er bomb, which he had kept con-
cealed in his handkerchief, and that
not only killed the nihilist himself,
but mortally wounded the emperor.
In a moment the street, before de-
serted, was crowded with people
coming from every direction.
Sleighs were going to and fro, and
all we heard was, Thank God, the.
emperor lvesl' His carriage being
damaged, he was placed in a sleigh
and driven to the palace, where be
expired a few hours later. His legs
had been shattered"

The Order of the Garter.

The Order Of the Garter was
founded in 1344-some writer's say
1350-by Edward III. The original
number of knights was twenty-five,
his majesty making the twenty
sixth.
The emblem of the order is a
dark blue ribbon edged with gold,
bearing the motto ssHoni soft qui
NAL y pense" in golden letters, with
a buckle and pendant of gold richly
chased. It is worn on the left leg
below the knee. Regarding the
adoption Of this emblem and motto
the story is that the Countess of
Salisbury let fall her garter when
dancing with the king AID that he
picked it up and tied it around his
own leg, but that, observing the
jealous glances of the queen. he re-
stored it to its fair owner with the
exclamation, "Honi soft qui NAL y
pensew

One of Washington's Maps.

"The original. map made by

West Virginia, granted to him by
the British government in 1863 for
his services in the Braddock expedi-
ton, is in the possession of the IL
brary of congress-" says The Ma
tional Geographic Magazine. ''The
map is about 2 by 5 feet and is en-
tirely in the handwriting of Wash

notes, also in Washington's hand
writing, describing the boundary
marks set by Washington and diff

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have iispelled
the silly notion that one kind of
food is needed for brain, another for
muscles, and still another for bones.
"A correct diet will not only nurish
a particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet,
however good your food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by indiges
ton or dyspepsia. You must pre-
pare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Greene's August Flower the
favorite medicine of the healthy
