SHOES AT $1,000 A PAIR.
A Cobbler Who Has Stuck to His
Last to Some Purpose.

Shoes selling at $1,000 pair are
the product of factory near Madison
Square. says the New York Mail and
Express. To style it a shop would
be to insult the artisans employed
therein. They called it "footgear
in stitute," and the proprietor goes by
no less a title than "curatlYe ortho-
pedist."
The wearing of these 81 900 shoes is,
in the main, hobby, and is based on
nerves gone wrong. For there are
some pers oDs, it seems, who are
plagued with sensitive nerv es in their
feet, which ache so overwhelmingly
that nothing can assuage the pain but
shoes "prescribed" by physician
cobbler.
The learned cobbler listens to tale
of toeache, examines the feet and pre-
scribes.
The shoes are made of good leather,
but do not generally follow the lines
of the latest fashions; rather the re-
verse. 1t all depends on the views OF
the healer. Some sufferers are scien-
tifcally shod in exchange for $500,
$3.50 or even 800; but those customers
who pre- fer to pay the highest prices
are satisfied with nothing less than
81, 900 pair.
The shoe bills of one New Yorker
a rich contractor-who rides the Ortho-
pedic hobby have footed up $4,000.
Yet the shoes he wears are queer
looking contrivances.
The cobbler has made fortune.

CHANGED to be the nearest portion Of
his body to the shark, was rushed off

Threats of Violence Against the Health

For "a DAYS San Antonio, the largest

isolated from the world, says dis
patch.
The state quarantine in effect pro
hibits persons, freight and express

prohibited from selling tickets to Tex

is now permitted on certificate OF the
state health officer.
At the time quarantine was declared
q big fair was IN progress and thou
sands OF visitors from all over the state
were caught and have not been per-
mitted TO return home.
In the city a feeling OF Indignation
has been raised by the declaration of
DR.. G. w. Tabor, the state health off,
Ger, to the people Of San Antonio that
the immediate raising of the state
quarantine is now improbable because
of the appearance of two new cases OF
yellow fever.
Demonstrations and threats of vio-

assistants were heard on all sides.

GORMAN BOOM GETS A JOLT
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS KEEP MARY
LANDER OFF FINANCE COMMITTEE.
lie Wanted the Place Particularly, but
II Was Denied Him. Looked Upon as
a Blow at His Candidacy.

A Washington special to the Savan'
'uah Press says Senator A. P. German
has not only lost control of the demo-
cratic minority in the senate, but ne
has been rebuked openly by the demo
cratic steering committee and made
80 go sway back and sit down."
Senator German had been an aspir-
ant for appointment to the senate D.
mace committee to succeed former
Senator Jones of Arkansas, the chair
man of the democratic national COM
anittee. There was too much political
prominence for German in this, howev-
er, to suit other democratic senators,
especially those from the south and
west, and they got together and decid-
ed that it was best TO let German
know that precedence and senate Gus
tom must not be disregarded, not even
by him.
Designation to the senate finance
committee always has been recognized
as the fitting assignment for the demo-
cratic senate leader Germans friends
had set great hope IN having him sue
coed Jones there and thereby strength
en- his control not only OF the senate
minority, but OF the national organiza-
ton of the party. The senate finance
committee, of which Senator Aldrich
is chairman, is The coJerie which usu-
ally stands nearest to the great hnan-
.cial interests which have more or less
connection with legislation.
AS the chairman of these corporate
Interests German especially wished
place on the finance committee. The
two democratic senators selected for
the democratic vacancies, however,
are Senator Joseph w. Bailey of Tex
as, who has bought a dress suit and
become plutocrat, and Senator Fred
Dubois of Idaho, one of the unreorean'
lzed free silver Bryan men. Du Bois
was a representative prior to 1896
His victory over German is greeted by
the Bryan silver element as a great
thing, and they are predicting now
that Germans boom for the presiden'
6ial nomination next year has receiv.

FIGHT SOON ENDED.
Combatants Taken to Police Station
and Released on Collateral.

There was a big crowd. lots of excitement
and little blood shed about noon today
in the vicinity of Pennsylvania avenue and
9th street, when Richard ]. Cox and Percy
P. Humphrey met Both men are well
known in sporting circles and their meeting
was an accident But what followed was
by no means due to accident, and soon after
the proceedings opened the. combatants
were arrested and taken to the police sta
ton. Precinct Detective O'Dea, several
headquarters detectives and a couple OF
uniformed officers were about the corner
when the difficulty occurred.
The men could not have selected a more
public place to engage in such a combat,
and they could not have expected to fight
to a finish on such a corner. Five dollars
was the amount of collateral required or
each Of the men. This amount they de-
posted and were thereby kept from going
behind the bars. So much excitement was
caused by the crowd that people who did
not know just what had occurred thought
serious crime had been committed. The
only actual damage was an injury to the
hand of Mr.. Cox, which was caused by a
John L. Sullivan blow dealt Humphrey.
Humphrey felt the force of the blow. which
had been delivered with telling effect and
blood from the hand Of Cox discolored his
face.
The trouble was brought about by dis
cussion concerning the races and pool
rooms, and there was some lively sprinting
done. Not even the horses going over the
hurdles would have presented so picturesque
a sight. But Larry O'Dea, the precinct de-
tective, was as good at sprinting as were
the men interested in the races. and he
overlook them.
when O'Dea starts after you." specta-
tor remarked, there's no use in running.
At the station Cox nursed a cut finger.
while Humphrey was anxious about his
face and teeth. Hospital treatment was
not actually necessary, and the men who
had participated in the alleged ARRAY were
happy at getting over the affair so easy.
Tomorrow they will be called upon In the
Police Court to plead to a charge OF having
engaged in a street fight, unless their COL
laterals are forfeited.

CLEANING OUT CHINATOWN.
Marine Hospital Surgeons Trying to
Improve Health Conditions.

The surgeons Of the marine hospital serv-
ice continue to keep a close watch Of
health conditions In Chinatown, San Fran
cisco. Ever since the development of the
bubonic plague in Chinatown the surgeons
Of the service have been at work In this
dirtiest habitation in any city of the United
States. They have finally secured some
degree of cleanliness in that section of San
Francisco Surgeon Glennan reports that
for the month of April there were forty
eight deaths in the Chinatown district, two
being by violence. OF that number twenty
five were from consumption. The esti-
mated population of the district was Ii, 900
during that month, and the death rate for
the month was 42.46. The population Of
Chinatown never remains the same
throughout the year. In April and May
of each year thousands of Chinese laborers
depart for the fish canneries In Alaska, and
the population dwindles considerably.
These return in October and November
and gamble all winter.
The marine hospital service has continued
the crusade against the rats that make
their homes in the sewers and old buildings
of Chinatown. Rat bane, chloride of lime
and carbolic acid have been used SO freely
that the rats have almost disappeared
either having died or gone away.
