Prominent members OF the American Public
Health Association in it's annual convention
were discussing recently the dangers Of acquir-
ing tuberculosis in sleeping cars. There can be
doubt that on the foremost railroad lines OF
the country a great deal Of hard work is done in
cleansing these thoroughly, including the
blankets and all the bedding. but many ply
sicians inclined to believe there may be
negligence some minor routes where vigilant
supervision is not incessant. There may also be
perils to the health of passengers, especially
upon long Journeys at slow speed Only unre-
hitting watchfulness can keep the great white
plague from claiming victims almost every
where.

many seekers of recreation argue that the old
rate of 81 80 was sufficient. But the directors

A GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEME.
1t Was Carried On in Greek, But
the Government Authorities
Got u Line On 1t.

New York, June 27.-An investiga-
ton has been ordered by the authori-
ties at Washington of an alleged gold
mining concern with offices in this
city. For three months past, it is
said, the oncern has been advertis-
ing freely in all the foreign newspa-
pers. One of the advertisements,
translated from a Greek paper pub
lished here, reads:
Have you five dollars? Do you
wish to make them ten within a
month, one hundred within a year
and one thousand within a short
time?"
The board of managers named in
the advertisement is composed of
men asserted to be filling high pub
lie positions such as senator of the
state of Ohio" Comptroller of the
United States treasury" treasurer
of the United States" etc. There al
so appears the name of a member as
serted to have been formerly secre-
tary of the treasury"
None of the names given, however,
is known at all in public life in this
country.

KANSAS ASSEMBLY ADJOURNS.
Extra Session Ends After Passing
Over Fifty Flood Relief
Measures.

Topeka, Kas., June 27.-The extra
session of the Kansas legislature, Fri
day afternoon at two o'clock, adj
journed. Over so bills were passed,
only two of which were of a general
nature. Most of them gave Kansas
counties the right to restore bridges
that had been washed away by the
cd. County commissioners are au-
tlOrized to aid flood sufferers from
the county fund to any extent that
seems best to them. To the last, an
effort was made to pass a bill appro-
priating money for the relief of the
sufferers, but it was defeated. This
action of the legislature has caused
a great amount of criticism.
Gov. Bailey, in a statement, ex-
planned his attitude toward a relief
appropriation in the course of which
he said: 81 feel that the criticism of
my attitude in this matter is I'M
just. There is very little if any desti-
tuition in the flood district. Whatever
restitution there is has been or will
be relieved by the local authorities,
the local charities and the assistance
which comes freely from the outside.
The need is great through the Kansas
valley, but the cases of restitution are

A LOUISIANA FEMALE FIEND,
After Beating Her S~tepchiId INNER
cifulIy Ii Tied Her in a Sack
and Roasted Her to Death.

New Iberia, La, June 26.-Mary
Patterson, a negress,. living in the
nearby village of De Rouen, enraged
at a trifing act of disobedience on the
part of her ten-year-old s~tepdaughter,
beat the child for fully half an hour.
When the quivering form had been
reduced to insensibility, the woman
placed the unconscious mass in a corn
sack, carried it into the back yard
and suspended it from the limb of a
tree. She then gathered brush and
wood and placed it beneath the sack.
Setting it on fire, she watched the
flames grow and child, revived, began
to wall and shrek.
To quiet her Mary went to the
house and took from the porch a long
string of red peppers, which she
threw on the burning pile.
Suffocated by the fumes, the child
gradually ceased her cries, while the
woman, still standing near, watched
the flames eat through the sack and
saw the dead form fall into the flames
and burn to a crisp.
The woman was locked up in the
parish prison, and there confessed to
the crime,

BECKHAM ANSWERS CRITICS
low Journals a Not Change
His Course.

Frankfort, KY, June 27.-Gov. Beck
ham,, in response to a great many re-
quests, Friday gave out a statement in
reference to his position in the
Breathitt county matter. A great
many letters have come to him in the
last few weeks, he says, some from
those who are friends, some from
those who are not, urging him to use
radical measures in dealing with the
trouble in Breathitt county, to de-
clare martial law and to have trials
OF the accused by courts martial.
Speaking of criticisms from outside
OF the state, Gov. Beckham says:
These criticisms, friendly Or I'M
friendly, have not swerved me in the
least from the pathway of what /
have conceived to be my duty and the
just responsibilities of my high Office.
l care not one particle for the
pharisaical eensure of those yellow
journals of the north and east, whose
mercenary greed for a saleable ro-
nance and whose partisan hatred of
a southern neighbor make them de-
fame and misrepresent the great and
good people of all Kentucky, because
one county out of 119 within the state
has recently been the scene of certain
crimes and violations of the law.
Speaking of the insistent demands
for a declaration of martial law, Gov,
Beckham stated that his critics "in
their impatience have forgotten that
the governor of Kentucky has abso-
lutely no such right, and if he should
attempt to use such arbitrary powex
he would be and ought to be i'm
Deached."

RUSSIA FEELS REGRETFUL.
She viii Not, However, Exhibit Any Re-
sentiment at the Presentation of
the American Petition,

Washington, June 27.-The Russian
government has learned, with pro-
found regret of the intention of the
Washington authorities to forward to
ST. Petersburg a petition from Amer
lean Jews relative to Russia's treat
ment of her Jewish subjects. 1t is
yet hoped that the United States will
appreciate the Russian view of the
case and will content itself with the
kindly expressions of sympathy which
it already has offered for the affair
at kischineff.
The position continues to be held
hat this step is outside interference
with affairs in Russia. 1t was said on
authority that when Mr.. Riddle, the
American charge, presents hepetition
at the Russian foreign office, he will
be received with the same cordially
always accorded an American envoy
In returning the petition to Mr.. Rid
die the officials will assure him that
Russia cherishes no i'll will toward the
United States, and that the action it
takes with respect to the petition is
necessary in view of Russia's unalter-
able policy of refraining from inter-
ference in the internal affairs of other
powers and insisting on similar treat
ment for itself. The Russian govern
ment hopes its firmness in the matter
will not be misunderstood, but in view
of the announcement of its position
xrool,c or II IL crrnrica1 of tho do
velopments which will force a reitera-
ton of it's views. Mr.. Riddle, it can
be stated, will be subjected to no per-
sonal embarrassment in presenting
the petition and he will be given to
understand that the ST. Petersburg
authorities appreciate the fact that
he is only carrying out his orders.
Should the presentation of the petit
ton be deferred until the return to
st. Petersburg of Mr.. Mccormick, the
American ambassador to Russia, the
same programme, will obtain unless
in the meantime the Russian govern
ment is made aware of extenuating
circumstances which put the matter
in a different light. Indeed, it is de-
clared Russia would be glad to do any
thing possible to relieve the tension in
the United States, but feels unable to
sacrifice a principle which it has fol-
lowed hitherto and the American sup
port of which it has warmly indorsed.
The Russian government readily adj
mits the sincerity of the American
governments decision and declines to
listen to reports that the forwarding
of the petition has any Interior sig
nificance.

FARM LIFE AS AN EXHIBIT.
Missouri Will Show Something New
and Novel in the Way of
Worlds Fair Exhibits.

ST. Louis, June 27.-The life of the
Missouri farmer and of the Missouri
farmers wife and children is to be
pictured at the Worlds fair. Hereto
fore exhibits at exposition have
sought to show farm life by sacks of
corn, or plates of apples-a purely
agricultural or horticultural display.
Farm life, every visitor has recog-
nized, is more than such displays
have shown OF suggested. 1t includes
school and church and society, means
of transportation, facilities of com
munication by telephone and postal
service, in short, the life which the
wheat and corn and stock and ma
terial yield of the farm make possible.
Rev. Jos. DeForest, an Episcopal
minister from Davenport, Ia, was
found dead in bed at his hotel at San
Francisco.
The real product of the Missouri farm
is the farm life. The Missouri
Worlds fair commission purposes to
show how the farmer lives. Photo
graphs of representative farm houses
will be exhibited, and all that goes to
make up the actual life of the dwell
ers in the country will be presented
in a unique and attractive way.

SESSION Of THE CABINET.
Last Session Of the Cabinet Prior to
the Presidents Departure
for Oyster Bay.
A CLEARING UP OF ROUTINE MATTERS.
Fostmaster-General Payne Occupied
Considerable Time In Presenting
the Current Situation AS Devel-
oped by the Investigation Now
in Progress.

Washington, June 27.-The last
meeting of the cabinet before the
presidents departure from Washing
ton Saturday was held Friday. Short
ly after the members had assembled,
former Postmaster-General Smith,
who took breakfast with the presi-
dent, was ushered into the cabinet
room.
Upon leaving the White House Mr..
Smith, when asked if he had anything
to say concerning the pdst office in
quiry, replied that his statement in
response to the references to himself
in the Bristow report would be given
to the public Saturday.
The cabinet meeting was devoted
chiefly to the clearing up of routine
departmental matters in anticipation
of the presidents departure, although
Postmaster-Gener Payne occupied
considerable time not only in present
ing the current situation as developed
by the investigation now in progress
in post office matters, but in discuss
ing his future plans relative to the
investigation.
In this connection it can be stated
authoritatively that the reports that
Postmaster General Payne contem-
plates retiring from the cabinet are
untrue. 1t is well known that his
health is not good, and there, is of
course, a possibility that he might
suffer a complete breakdown or that
he might be forced by the imperative
orders of his physician to give up his
work. But at this time the idea. OF
retirement is not entertained by him.
He has plated out his future work /
connection with the investigation Of
his department and is anxious to fin
ish, it. The president, it is said, has
given expression to his own feelings
in the matter by saying that he
would permit him to resign only in
the event that it become a matter of
life or death.
