A kind hearted Washington woman paid visit to New Orleans while the shipping season on the river was at It's height, and as the loading or unloading of big river boat Is one of the most interesting things imaginable to watch she went one day to the levee where 0 steamboat, one of the largest afoat. was discharging It's cargo. The mate of the vessel stood at the gangplank and directed the operations of the ne- gro roustabouts. He was loud voiced, as q mate should be, and he beloved and roared and swore and now and then whacked some unusually slow or stupid negro with a spar. One negro received so many blows that the Wash. lngton woman's sympathies were aroused. When she could endure the mates brutality toward him no longer she walked over to where the negro stood and spoke to him. "Why do you allow that man to strike you and curse you as he does?" she asked. The negro looked at her In surprise and then showed all his teeth in grin.

discussed in a recent publication of the United States Geological Survey, known as the Chicago folio of the Geo. logic Atlas of the United States. So comprehensive and detailed is this publication, so minutely accurate are
 its maps and charts. and so simple arc its descriptions of the rather compli- cated geologic history of the region, that, with its aid, it is possible for any resident of that city to study the geology to be found in his own back yard.
 The geologic history of Chicago IS of more than ordinary interest, and is in timately connected with the topo- graphic features of the region. First to be noted is the belt of elevated and lying somewhat back from Lake Mich igan. though parallel to it's margin and reaching an elevation of about 200
 feet above its present surface. This is an old glacial moraine, dating back many centuries, to the time when lobe of the great continental ice sheet paused on its southward journey, or, more strictly, here melted as fast as it advanced, leaving an accumulation of the sand and gravel about its mar gin. Along the eastern edge of this elevated belt are found at three success sive intervals, each lower than the other, lines of benches or terraces, which unmistakably point to long per- iods when the waters of Lake Michigan stood at 60 feet then 40 feet, and final ly 20 feet above their present level, and when they completely covered the present site ot the western metropolis, flowing off through what is now the Desplaines River Valley to the Mis- sissippi River and the Gulf of Mexico.
 Again, the striking sand dunes and their migratory movements under the influence of strong and constant winds form part of this interesting discussion. Such, for example, are those of Millars and Dune Park, which wi tn sufficient strength of wind may even encroach upon forest vegetation snd destroy its growth. In addition to an accurate and carefully surveyed map of the city and its environs, the study of the various changes of Chicago's geological history is assisted by geologic maps of the area, so carefully and accurately colored as to make it possible to dis cover to what particular stage in the geologic development of the section any part of the city, even to fraction of block belongs. This folio is one of the most satisfactory of the series thus far issued, and, for those interested in the subject, its purchase price, 50 cents, is insignificant in comparison to the interest and value of the informa- tion it gives.

DREADED BUBON|C PLAGUE
DRIVES PEOPLE FROM THE CITY
 OF MAZATLAN
Government Takes Recognition of the Scourge That Has Fallen on Mexico. It is Officially Denied Disease Has Reached Lower California.

John L. Bradbury of Los Angeles, 1T the name of the Tajo Mining company, has subscribed 5000 to fund of the relief of the b"bonic plague sufferers of Mazatlan, Mexico. MT. Bradbury's subscription was made in response tc the following telegram, signed by the president and secretary oi the Mazatlar chamber of commerce:
 Mazatlan, ex.-John L. Bradbury, Los Angeles, Cal.-The city of Mazat' Ian, always one of the first to go to the relief of all tho ether cities of this and our neighboring republics when they have suffered great calamaties, is today he victim of the most terrible of all evils, the bubonic plague. Merchants, bankers and property owners generally have formed charity and relief com. mittee jointly with the civil officers, to alleviate the sufferings of innumer- able orphans, and also to do all possi- ble to stop the ravages of the terrible disease. Knowing your philanthropit sentiments, and in the name of hu' manity, we ask your valuable co-ope' ration. with the view of obtaining pecuniary resources with which to at tend the victims of the greatest calam. ity that ever has been felt in the re- public.
 JOSE RICO, President.
 NJ. IRIBARNEGARY, Secretary.
 Another telegram, received still later told in few words the story of distress in the west coast city of Mex ico. It was this:
 Rosario, Mex, Jan. S.-Directors Tajo mines, Bradbury Building, Los Angeles. Cal.-Mazatlan plague in' creasing; one-third population gone. Yellow fever reported in Cullacon, and Topic Roscario quarantined.
 R. J. GRISBY.
 The Tajo mines, that are the prop erty of the Bradbury estate, are situ' ated forty miles from Mazatlan.
 In making a subscription of $l0OO as a nucleus of a reliet fund, Mir. Bradbury's only comment was to refer to the generosity of the people of Mexico at the time of the Galveston disaster, in 1900. Thirty-seven persons are in the azarettos and six deaths have occurred in one day, one entire iamily having died of the plague. Many persons have let the city and gone to live on the outskirts. A num- Der have departed. It has been decided to disinfect the entire city. The charity commission will pay for the houses that have to be burned and for all clothing destroyed.
 A man attacked by the plague was found on his way to Castillo. He was brought to the city to be sent to lag, aretto, but he died on the way here.
 A woman, in order to save her son from being taken to the lazaretto, pp' him in bed at home. His father and she herself were, in consequence, al tackled by the plague and died within few hours. The house has been burned py the authorities.
 The people seem to be afraid ol being taken to the lazarettos, pre- ferring to remain at their houses when attacked by the plague, but the authorities are constantly hunting ur sick people and taking them to the lazarettos. Many residents are being sent to the department of observation.

GOOD MARKSMANSHIP A Target Three Miles Away Shat tered by a Heavy Shot

San Francisco-Extraordinary accu- racy in markmanship cut short the heavy gun practice at the Presidio, the government reservation. The l2- inch guns were to be brought into play and the target was wooden structure pyramidal in shape, about twelve feet long at each base line, and about eight feet high. It was lowed oceanward by tug with long tow line and while moving at seven miles an hour was to be fired upon. When the target was about three miles from shore land under tow it appeared to be about the size of mans hand. It was then that Corporal Began fired a 12-inch gun. The shot struck about eight'yards astern of the moving mark. Carefully Began aimed the second missile and scarcely had the roar of the discharge ceased when the target disappeared.
 .The shot had hit "the enemy" amid- ships and shattered.

1t is almost out OF the question to re-
call, within recent years "a case in which
a prominent man in this state. with any

There was case in Spartanburg in which
a man named Turner, who had consid-
siderable means, was convicted and ac-
tually hanged for murder, but in this
case the impression seemed to be that he
was convicted on general principles as he
was a worthless man and was punished
more for his first killing than for the
second offense, for which he was tried
Other than this case there are no rec

white man Of any standing has been
convicted of murder in this state. al
though there have been frequent occa-
sions on which it might have occurred
Some folks who do not think Well Of
Col. Tillman think he may be convicted
or general principles. that is. on account
of his having been in several escapades
prior to this, and because of the realiza-
ton of the enormity of the crime by the
people of the state.
OF course, Tillman has his friends and
a good many stanch advocates. If the
element of factional politics does not en-
ter into the case there is likelihood OF
some punishment. but if it can be made
to appear that there in any factiona!ism
in it, it will be almost out of the ques-
ton to get a verdict.

of his resigning, but as he had only

Tende neY of tne Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
given to the subject Il is easier and
better to prevent than TO cure. Il has
been fully demonstrated that pneumo-
mia, one of the most dangerous dis.
eases that medical men have to con.
tend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip),
and it has been observed that this rem
edy counteracts any tendency of these
diseases toward pneumonia. This has
been fully proven in many thousands
OF cases in which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence OF
colds ana grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with implicit con-
fidence. Pneumonia often results
from a slight cold when no danger is
apprehended until il is suddenly dis.
covered that there is fever and diff.

The report recommends a number
of minor changes in the penal code.
One OF them prhibits any member Of
congress or any officer or employe Of
the government from soliciting sub
scriptions for political purposes from
any officer OF clerk of the government,
as recommended by the codifying com.
