 New Cases.
 ITHACA, N. Y., Feb. 1.-Another Cornell student has been added to the victims of the typhoid fever which is prevalent in this city. Miss Charlotte E. Spencer, 1905, of Jasper, N. r., is dead.
 Nineteen new cases of the disease were reported within the last twenty four hours by Ithaca physicians, and one new fever patient was admitted to the Cornell infrmary, making a total of fifty three students in that building suffering from typhoid. Itis estimated that about forty persons have been sent out of town in the last two days because they have shown symptoms of the disease President Schurman has issued a circular which has been read in all classes of the university, asking students to insist on having all water for drinking purposes boiled
 The reports of Professors Chamot and Moore in regard to the chemical and meteorological impurities in the city water supply are completed and will be, presented to the board of health. The decomposing body of a horse was found on the banks of Six Mile creek a short distance above the place where the Ithaca Water company ,+alzas the city supply.

One Phase of the Nile.

Tn the Shab luka pass we have one of the many instances in which the Nile has hurled itself at an opposing noun tain barrier and cut it's way through In fact, it often seems to select these unpropitious places for it's course, when on each side, few miles away, there is tolerably level, unbroken expanse of desert. For ten miles the river twists in and out before escaping to the open once more. Its current is very rapid, making it well-nigh inn passable at low water because of the numerous rocks; but at the time of my descent the summer flood was we'll along, and all but a few of these bar riers were hidden below the surface, their presence being marked only by occasional ed ddies.

SCORE MINERS UNION
Nonunionists Present Their Case to the Commission.
RIGHT TO COERCE WORKMEN DENIED

Independents Claim Right to Earn
 Livelihood Without Dictation--So-
 ciaIistic Theories of the Organ
 1xatfon Hamper Good Men
 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Il. = The United Mine Workers of America as an organization was severely scored yes terday by counsel before the anthra- cite coal strike commission. The non- union men through their attorney, John T. Lenahan, presented their side of the controversy and demanded considera- tion at the hands of the commission, claiming the legal right to earn live ihood as they might elect without the consent or dicta ton of the union. Dur ing his presentation of the case MT. Lenahan denounced the union as the fomenter of crime and anarchy. The main feature of his argument was the claim that the union had no legal or moral right to coerce miners into mem bership or to arrogate to itself the au-. thority to fix the wages of mine work CTS.
 James Fl. Torrey, counsel for the Del- aware and Hudson company, claimed that the question of recognition of the union was not an issue before the com- mission, but he devoted considerable time to the consideration of that de- mand. He asserted that violence and. intimidation were agencies selected for the promotion of the purposes of the mine workers. Regarding the demand for an eight hour working day Mir. Torrey said the evidence showed that for various reseons the breakers did not average more than eight hours day, so that the physical effects of long hours were not felt.
 Major Everett Warren, counsel for the HiIlsdale Coal and Iron company and the Pennsylvania Coal company, answered the demands of the miners in detail and declared the sociaIistic theories of the union or some of its leaders to be responsible for unreason- able claims:
 Regarding MT. Mitchell's claim that wages in the anthracite mines were in- sufficient to maintain the American standard of living Major WarEen said: Fortunately for all of us, that has been interpreted by MT. Mitchell, and He AdS SINGH us gLIlte UcuChl Ol LIS Opttl- ion that $500 year would permit the mine workers to live in manner con formable to American standards. The average earnings of the contract miner for the year 1901 in the employ of the companies I represent are approxi- mately $650.
 { Throughout the discussion as to the rates of wages, no matter how it may be presented whether by figures, oral testimony or argument, it is absolutely necessary to bear in mind that the an- nual earnings of the mine workers are limited by the men themselves.
 T do not charge this upon the great body of the mine workers themselves. They do not understand why it is done. They are not familiar with the social istic theories of some. of the leaders of

she organization. Whatever may be the motive on the part of the union, the ev. idence is overwhelming that the result is a restriction on the part of the in- dustrious miner, limiting the amount of work and the consequent wages shriv- cling his powers and reducing him to the dead level of his lazy and indiffer- ent associates. This cannot be plotted out from the record. It appears in the testimony of every company and every employer of labor in the region.
 Socialism proposes to establish an equality among unequal men by reduc- ing them to the dead level of this pos sible majority. Instead of allowing ev- cry one to determine for himself what he wants to do, it is to be done for him. That is nothing but slavery"

sinruIar pIuraIn.

A correspondent who keeps watch ful eye on our columns wants to know what are the correct plurals of mon goose" and phoenix" One is tempt ed to write "mongeese" as one is tempted to write sMusselmen,' ,'' though neither man nor goose has any claim to consideration in these words. 'Mongoose" is quite fancy spelling, and you may spell it mum gous" or "mongous" or 'tmungoos,' ,'' as you will. Therefore, we think s.mongoose" is quite plural enough to cover all the specimens that are like ly to come up for christening. As to the phoenix-its case may be dis missed with the swiftness of police court magistrate. There is never more than one on the active list at the same time, so the phoenix does not require plural at all-London Chronicle.

chinamen ia New York.

The An Sins of Gotham appear to be steadily increasing in numbers. No doubt the Celestial population here is recruited in part by smuggling immi- grants over the Canadian border; but it is also true that New York, abovve other American cities, is a magnet
 drawing queue wearers from other places in the United States. But the Chinese are here almost without ex- ception quiet and peaceable and do no harm. Manhattan's chinatown is not a disease breeding pesthole, as Chinese settlements are said to be in some regions of Asia and even of America. The death rate in Mott street, Pell street and the vicinity is not excessive, and most of the people in that district are in fair health. Not few of them live to a good old age.-N. Y. Tribune.

Shocking Details at Hearing I'm the
 Taylor Murder Case.

Taylor Murder Case.
 MONTICELLO, N. Y, Feb. 1.-The hearing in the Taylor murder case has begun in the Monticello courthouse. Mrs. Kate Taylor is charged with hav- ing murdered her husband, Lafayette Taylor, at their farmhouse near Cen terville Station, Sullivan county, on the night of Jan. 27.
 District Attorney F. s. Anderson con- ducted the inquiry. The only witness examined was the fourteen-year-old daughter of the accused. She testified that her stepfather came home drunk and that she retired while he and her mother were quarreling. A short time after she heard a shot and, running into the kitchen, saw Taylor lying on the floor and saw her mother shoot him again. Mrs. Taylor then seized an ax and cut off his head and right arm, both of which she placed in the stove.
 The remainder of the body was cut in four pieces and put in a sack in the pantry, and during the two succeeding days parts of the body were burned until it was all consumed. The bloody clothing was placed i'll a washtub and later burned.
 The tub, which became stained with blood from the clothes, was scraped and burned on the inside with kerosene to remove the stains, and places on the wall where blood had spattered when the body was being chopped up were repapered. The ax was afterward burned. During the time the body was being burned the usual meals were cooked by Mrs. Taylor.
 The daughter is attractive and inte& ligent looking, but Mrs. Taylor has a brutal and animal-like face. During her daughters recital of the story Mrs. Taylor showed no sign of nervousness. The hearing was adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, when Mrs. Taylor will be examined.

THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION.
By the President Of the
United States of America:

The season is at hand when, ac-
cording to the custom OF our pco'
pie, it falls upon the President to
appoint day of praise and thanks
giving to God.
During the last year, the Lord
has dealt bountifully with US, had
us peace at home abroad and the
chance for our citizens to work
for their welfare unhindered by
war, famine or plague. 1t behooves
us not only to rejoice greatly be-
cause of what has been given us,
but to accept it with a solmn sense
of responsibility realizing that
under Heaven it rests with us,
ourselves, to show that we are
worthy to use Alright what has
been intrusted to our care.
In no other place and at no other
time has the experiment Of gov
ernment of the people, for the
people been tried on SO vast a
scale as here in our own country
in the opening years OF the twen-
tieth century. Failure would not
-,
only be a dreadful thing for all
mankind, because it would mean a
loss Of all hope for all who be-
lieve in the power and righteous
ness of liberty.
Therefore in thanking God for
the mercies extended to lis in the
past we besecch Him that He may
not withhold them in the future,
and that our hearts may be reused
to war steadfastly for good and
against all the forces of evil, pub
lie and private. We pray for
strength add light so that in the
coming years we may with cleanli-
ness, fearlessness, and wisdom do
our allotted work on earth in such
manner as to show that we are not
altogether unworthy of the bless
ings we have received.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the United
States, do hereby designate as u
day of general thanksgiving,
Thursday, the twety-sixth of the
coming November, and to recon-
mend that throughout the land
people cease from their wonted
occupation, and in their several
homes and places of worhip render
thanks unto Almighty God for his
manifold mercies.
In witness thereof, | have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at the City of Washington
this thirty first day OF October, in
the year of Our Lord, one thous-
and nine hundred and three, and
of the independence of the United
States the one hundred and twenty
eighth.

By the President.
