Commemorative shskespeare's Birth

New York, April 23.-Stratford-on-
Avon is celebrating the occasion of the

going to end for another week and a
half. The chief feature of the celebra-

which is in part memorial building

EPIDEMICS OF 1902.
Mortality From Cholera in China,
Japan, Philippines and Egypt.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The mortality from epidemics for the first
ten months Of 1902 has been exceedingly
large, and yet 1t has been SO evenly dis
tributed over this period, month by month,
and the regions affected are SO far away
that public attention has not been at all
concerned with 1t. In fact cholera and
plague are as common incidents Of the
orient as famine or loss of life by Hood.
None of these attracts the consideration
Of the American public or is at best more
than a days wonder. If a tidal wave on
our shores should sweep away thousands,
as has happened recently in Japan, if the
Mississippi river should overflow lts banks
and drown thousands, as the Yellow river
did a few months ago in China and as 1t
does every year, the public would be ap-
palled. but would soon forget. Even the
phenomenal disaster in Martinique at our
doors already is forgotten 1t is not TO DE
expected perhaps that catastrophes thou
sands of miles away among strange peoples
should excite any lively interest In this
country.
Official reports from the Philippines
Egypt, Japan and China indicate that the
epidemic of cholera now sweeping through
those countries is the worst since 1862,
when the west, as well as the east, was
suffering from its ravages and our own
country did not escape. Then the streets
of Chicago were filled with funeral process
to bury the victims. During the present
year cholera has ragged most virulently In
Egypt and China, though thousands have
died in Japan and the Philippines. China
still is in the clutches OF the pestilence.
According to one correspondent it broke
out simultaneously in Manchuria, Canton
and Shanghai, and from these centers
spread so rapidly that nearly every prov
ince of the empire is now infected. The dis
ease has made no distinctions. 1t has ragged
in the Sums of Shanghai and found its
way into the imperial palace at Pekin.
AS only incomplete records of mortality
are kept in tAe orient it is impossible to OBJ
| tain anything like an accurate statement,
but 1t is within bounds to say that cholera
alone has caused over half a million deaths
| this year, and other epidemics, like plague
| and measles, will add nearly a quarter of
| million more TO the list. And yet the
| situation is hopeful one. There was
| time, and that not long ago, when cpl
| denies swept over Europe and this country.
A half dozen years ago Cuba was the
/ breeding place of yellow fever. The prog
| ress of medical science and of sanitation
| has made such advances, however, that cpl
| denies will not be so widespread or as fatal
| in Europe and this country as they have
| been. 1t is only in countries where people
| are filthy and fatalistic and where science
I and cleanliness have not yet made progress
that the pestilenee walketh by MONDAY"

THE GUILTY DEAD.
No Resting Place for Murderers'
Bones in London.
From the London Express.

From the London Express.
Fourscore murderers' bodies are buried
beneath the floors Of Newgate JAIL and the
authorities are wondering how these re-
mains are to be disposed of when the work
of demolition reaches their present resting
place.
No cemetery or public burial place is
likely to receive them except under conn
pulsion. This is evidenced by the attitude
Of the city of London and Tower Hamlets
Cemetery Company of Mile End road,
whose officials vigorously repudiate the
statement recently published that their Gem
etery had been chosen for the ieintcrment
of the Newgate criminals bodies.
This statement. it is urged, is calculated
to injure the business of the cemetery. and
we much regret it was published in these
columns. Few people would not objec. to
the burial of their dear ones in the company
of Newgate murderers.
Our representative learned at the Guild
hall yesterday that sit is not yet decided in
what cemetery these remains shall be
placed The work of removal must be done
to the satisfaction Of the medical officer
of health
1.-The town clerks department has sub
mitted special report on the subject to
the city lands committee of the corpora
ton. and this will be discussed at their next
meeting.
Considerable crowds Of visitors flock daily
to view the ancient prison now that its
days are numbered. Admission Is obtained
by ticket issued at the Guildhall. Curious
Iy enough, at least two-thirds of those who
pass through Newgates once dreaded por-
tai on sightseeing intent, are ladies.
The ghastliest sight of all is the famous
passageway under which many murderers
lie buried. The briefest epitaph suffices for
those inferred. Single initial letters
