 "Dr. Jones Is a very remarkable man any way you take him, and what he says and the way he says It always make a deep impression. He is one Of the greatest speakers that l have ever listened to, and he is all the more at tractiye as an orator because he is free from rant"

PELAGIC SEALING.
Prof. Elliott Would Put All on an
Equal Footing.

Speaking of the action of the collector
OF customs at Sitka, Alaska, in shutting
out the Canadian pelagic sealers from port
privileges at Unalaska. Prof Henry w.
Eillott, who was in Alaska in 1872 and
1879 and again In 1890, under authority
or special acts of Congress on the sealing
question, said to Star reporter today that
the present trouble is the natural sequel
or the confusion and failure which has
attended every effort of the agents Of the
United States since 1892 to better the mis-
eraple conditions on Seal Island
In 1891 said Pro-. Elliott, "at the ur-
gent request of Secretary Gage, Congress
passed special act which prohibited all
american citizens from engaging in the
taxing OF fur seals in the open sea. This
smut out several hundred American vessel
owners and Sealers from any right to do
What the Canadian sealers were doing at
that time and are doing today This ex-
traordlnary action of Secretary Gage was
nrst proposed by Acting Secretary Hamlin
In 1898 and 1896, and urged by him before
the ways and means committee of the
House The late Mr.. Dingley then chair
man or that committee, refused to enter
tam the proposition for a moment saving
wisely that he for one would never hold
the hands of an American from doing
what a Canadian had a perfect right to
DO in the open sea.

sci owners as well as the residents of the
northwest towards the attitude of the ad-

course, aggravated every season by their
watching the Canadians at work, reaping
the seal harvest, while they are compelled
70 SIT idly by on the shore. ]. The Canadian
hunters are today off the coast of Cal
ifornia engaged in this work and boasting
OF their profits at expense
TO make 1t still worse the profits of
these Canadian hunters are four times
greater than they were in 1897 when the
act was passed prohibiting Americans from
open-sea sealing. These angry men, Of
course, have used all the influence they pos
sess on the subordinate officials of the
treasury Department and have persuaded
the customs collector to exceed his duty
II the recent reports of his action are cor
rect" -
Prof Elliott has strong feelings on the
subject of the rapid determination of the
Alaskan seals, and will shortly present
the subject to the House committee on
ways and means. He will advocate the
passage Of pending bill which provides
that open-sea sealing shall be entirely
prohibited or that the few remaining seals
on Seal Island be entirely extermnated.

Attention has been directed SO often to

It's deadly work is making the rapider
growth. The United States census shows
that, while consumption increased only
from 1928 deaths in 1890 to III O59 in
1900 pneumonia increased during the same
period from &c. i96 to 1O5, 974. This rate of
increase. IL sustained, would make the
deaths from penumonia this year just about
equal those from tuberculosis. Supple
mentary evidence is furnished from Michi-

sion of vital statistics. Only one death in

sCULPToR's IDEA OF CHRIST.
Formed After Several Years Residence
in the Holy Land.

From Success
William Ordway Partridge the eminent
sculptor, who spent several years in the
Holy Land gathering information and in
spiration for a group in which the Savior
will be the central figure. writes interest
ingly on Christ as an ideal. successful man.
The following in extract from Mr.. Par
tridge's article:
In regard to personal appearance we
find Him commanding in figure, slight Of
build, of serious mien, with eyes that were
as tender as a fawn's and yet able to flash
fire as He drove the money changers down
the portico of Herod. A man makes an i'm
preston in the east either by his great
train of followers and the splendor of his
accouterments, or by his personal appear
ance; and, when the Master stood on the
shore Of Gallilee and called to the apostles.
who were then but simple fishermen, there
was something in the voice so unusual that
these rough fishermen cast their nets aside
and followed Him unhesitatingly. There
fore, we must think Of Him not only as
the ideal Of man in point of scholarship,
but also In physical aspect. 1t is inter-
esting to stand on the spot where most of
His ministry was spent and watch as the
writer has done. the fisherman gather in
his net, as a vaquero gathers his lasso, and
throw it's quivering line far out into the
lake, The scene has changed but little, ex-
cept for the lack Of fertility, and the alb
sence Of the noble Roman porticoes and
baslica which stood at Sapernum in
Herods reign.
Beyond scholarship and personal appear
ance we must look for some more impor-
tant feature to understand the influence
which the carpenters son exerted through
out Palestine. We do not realize until we
are In Jerusalem. on the site Of the temple,
how greatly that influence was felt, and
how it shook old traditions to their founda-
tions. Not only few hundred stragglers,
but also thousands upon thousands Of peo-

claim the temporal sovereignty Of the land

stand out In strangest contrast with that Of

ters Jerusalem, during the hour In which

IMPROVING PARIS.
Forty Million Dollars to Be Expended

Paris Corr. the Pail Mall Gazette
The conseil general of the department of

OF loan of fSO0O,OO0 for the construction
OF public works in the department and in
Paris. Some of these new Undertakings are

A school Of arts and crafts, which Paris
has been crying for, is to be established at
an expenditure of 100000 francs, and the
old prison Of st. Lazare, with all it's trage-
dy and pathos. is to be transferred else
where. at a cost of about f1,5OO. Other
works include the continuation of the Bou-
levard Raspail, which. at the present mo-

give the stranger any warning of the ec-

The Pope's Choir.

VIM. E. Curtis In Chicago Record Herald.
I have been disappointed at the music at
st. Peters, Rome, Of which so much has
been written. The pope's choir does not
sound to American ears as many enthu-
siastic writer's have heard 1t. It is inferior
to that Of st. Patricks Cathedral, New
York. and to that Of st. Matthews In

familiar, and Chicago Catholics here tell
me that much better singing can be heard

IF Leo XIII Lives One Year More.
From the Tablet.

From the Tablet.
It is pointed out that If Leo XIII is
spared to see the year 1903, that year will
be to him one Of quite exceptional interest,
veritable "annus mirabilis." AS every
body knows, 1t will be his silver jubilee of
papacy elected pope Feruary 20, 1879; but
more than that, it will also be his golden
jubilee as cardinal proclaimed by Piux TX
in the consistory of December 49, 1859, and
his diamond jubilee of episcopacy precon-
ised archbishop of Damietta by Gregory
XVI on January q, 1S43. and consecrated
February 19). Such triple jubilee, If his
holiness lives to celebrate 1t, will probably
be unique in history.

CHINESE LAUNDRIES
METHODS EMPLOYED IN DAMP
ENING CLOTHES
Said to Communicate Disease - Ordi-
nances Passed in Other
Cities.

The recent article in The Star descrip-
tive of two ordinances in force in San
Francisco, and, it is understood, in other
large cities, requiring all laundries to close
at midnight, and prohibiting the spraying
of water from the mouth, or the dampening
Of clothes by that means, has aroused con-
siderable interest among those who patron
ize Chinese laundries, and has developed
the fact that the question of the enact
ment of similar ordinances in Washington
has been heretofore under official consid-
Grafton.
The danger of dampening clothes in this
peculiar manner lies in the fact that it is
not Impossible to communicate disease TO
the wearer of the clothes, and the authori-
ties in the different cities have promulgat- 4
ed the ordinances in question upon this
SuppoSltlon. 1t is medical fact that small
poX scarlet fever and other diseases may
be communicated by contact to the unaf-
fected by the handling of their clothes by
the affected, hence the health regulation.
This method of dampening clothes is
practiced only by the Chinese, and it is
their laundries which keep open after mid
night with the force still working To
stand the test in the courts, however, the
ordinances make no reference to any par
ticular class of laundries, but declare that
all laundries shall comply with the provi-
Slons Of the ordinance.
Health Officer Woodward's Views
Health Officer Woodward informed a
Star representative that the question had
been brought informally to his attention
before. He had. he said, written to the
health officer of San Francisco to obtain a
copy of the ordinance. but his records did
not disclose a reply from that official.
In reply to question as to his views as
to the probability of communicating dis
ease to the wearer of the clothes dampened
in the manner mentioned, DIR. Woodward
said that he would not care to give a de-
cided opinion at this time until he had fur
ther opportunity to make a more thorough
and infectious diseases he said, are easily
and often quite mysteriously communicated,
and that it might be possible that such q
source of communication would be suffi-
cient in certain instances and under GER
tain conditions. If the matter were to be
brought before him officially, he would give
1t complete investigation as to whether
such an ordinance should be enacted in
Washington.
There was no doubt however, he said,
as to the disagreeable features of the prac-
tice of first taking a mouthfui of water by
the Chinese ironing, and then squirting 1t
over the clothes to make them damp. He
thought that the wearers of such clothes
should decide whether they desired that
their garments should be subjected to such
treatment though, as was no doubt the
are not aware that such practice prevails
among the race
Major Sylvester said that the Chinese of
Washington were as class quiet and or
derly. He had not made an inspection to
ascertain whether they made the spraying
