THE COWBOY AND THE BAc1LLI
Edward Ravold Dumps 1o7 Barrels
 of Germs Into Canal,

O1 1hIO SdAa1s
 St. Louis, March 19.-Edward Ravold, d former cowboy and mining engineer, of Arizona, and a brother of Bacteriologist Dr. Armand Ravold, was the man who, unaided, dumped 107 barrels of imported bacilli prodigious into the Chicago drain age canal on the night of November G. 1901, and thereby enabled his brother to establish the fact that the germs floated down to St. Louis.
 After Dr. Ravold had imported and propagated the bacilh he employed his brother, for $125, to dump them into the drainage canal.
 The barrels were placed on two flat cars and transported to Lamont. Ill. Meanwhile the cowboy had already gone to Lamont and became acquainted with the situation. When the barrels arrived he alone and unaided rolled the entire 10I barrels to the drainage canal, opened them and poured the contents into the canal. He worked quietly all night and the watchman found the empty barrels along the canal bank next morning Ravold then returned to St. Louis and has since lived here. The facts in the matter were kept secret until after Dr. Ravold's testimony before the Drainage Canal Commission recently and Dr. Ravold finally consented to relate the de- tails.

WE ARE BARBARIANS

The Woman Who Doesn't 't---Amelia
 Bingham's French Maid.

We certainly must have been barba- rians, from the way foreigners pat us on the head and tell us we are improving. I have In mind two English people who have been away from this country for the last ten years and who have just re- turned They say 1t isn't the same coun- try at all.
 You are learning to live" says the Englishwonhan complacently-'learnin when to be in town and when not, how to give dinners, how to treat your friends and snub your enemies in aristocratic fashion,"
 Gone is the Republican simpiicity!' groans the other. "I see now only an imitation of European modes of life."
 Barbarious Indeed!
 Even Herr Conried, the new manager of the Metropolitan Opera House, told recently with great scorn how he had seen Edwin Booth in Hamlet" when the "supers" wore Green tunics. Fancy!
 We must indeed have been barbarians. Let us thank Heaven we are becoming sufficiently sophisticated to pass muster among the nations.
 The older I grow--I am doing that, too, alas, along with other things-the more I realize that 1t is only the women who can do something who are really worth while.
 Nothing is more deadly than to find yourself let loose among a. assemblage of young women-the old ones know a trifie .more-who never did thing. never could do thing and never would want to do a thing if they could.
 Why. half the time they can't even talk, but confine themselves to gobbling up the refreshments and wondering why they don't have a better time.
 Excuse me if I rave bit, but l have just returned from musical tea, and have much to say. There were only

Strike Commission Carries Out His
 Ideas.
 New York, March 19.-Although the find ings of the Anthracite Coal Strike Com mission were not made public by Presi- dent Roosevelt in whose hands the re- port has been placed in Washington, an inkling, seemingly based on the very best of authority, has reached this city as to the nature of the concessions which would be made to the miners in the important matter of wages, says The Herald.
 This was that there should be estso, ,tss Is known as sliding scale. and that the prices paid to the miners would be based on charges made by the operators for a ton of coal The minimum rate of wages for the miners is to be the price which Is now paid to them.
 There are the best of reasons, adds The Herald, for believing that such a provi- sion is incorporated in the recommenda- tions for the commission, for 1t seemed to find favor with all the members of that body when it was reported to them first by c. F. Baer when he appeared before the commission.

Detroit. March 19.-A bar of gold. said to be valued at $20,00 to $23.0 disappear ed from the express car of the Wabash train No. which arrived at the Union station from the West at s o'clock and left for Buffalo at midnight.
 The property was in charge of the Pa cific Express Company and was consigned to Buffalo. Just as soon as the messenger missed the gold he notified the local eX- press agent of the company, who in turn asked the police to assist in the search for the missing treasure.
 Every available detective of the staff of Chief of Detectives Mcdaniel was assign ed to the case and private detectives were also retained to assist.
 Local officials say there Is bare possi- bility that the bar of gold has been mis- placed and will turn up in Buffalo.

 Amelia Bingham's Story.
 Amelia Bingham, the actress, told me very good story about her French maid. She had her first maid of this nationality last year when she was playing Katinka In The Modern Magdalen.' If you re- member. Katinka wears in the first act a very tattered dress. This little gown Mrs. Bingham had taken a great deal of trouble to tea. spot and fray artistic ally. But the French maid did not see the point of this. She was shocked that her mistress should wear such a dilapi- dated costume on the stage When the actress started to dress that evening, she found, to her horror an exquisitely mended brown dress waiting for her on the back of a chair. Of course the gown was ruined and all the darns had to be torn out again, much to the disgust of the painstaking maid who did not hesi- tate to voice her disgust in voluble French.
