THE PLAGUE CRISIS.

s The Gail forecast, the summons issued for
"A conference OF State Boards Of Health at Wash
1 L ington. which enanated from the meeting two
months ago IN New Haven had behind It motives en-
treiy unconnected aith the public health. The con-
ference has met in Washington city, and was found to
be IN the hands OF poltco medical cabal represent
ing tourist resorts and commercial interests inimca
10 California and this city.
The motive was plainly revealed when the member
from Minnesota procured the introduction OF a resou-
ton demanding that the army transport service be
taken away from San Francisco and given to Seattle!
Dr. Bracken OF Minnesota, who supported this propo-
stion. obviously there as the representative of
ar. J. J. Hill president OF the Great Northern and OF
the Boston Shipping Company This was plainly a
conspiracy using false reports about the plague in this
city to promote commercial and business rivalry.
The conspirators proceeded in secret caucus, even
excluding Surgeon General Nyman. Fortunately
California had fighting member present in DR. Gard
ner. who compelled reconsideration OF the vote by
which this expression Of craft greed and jealousy was
adopted and defeated II on tie vote. Thereafter the
proceedings r. the conference were OF no importance
IN = sanitary sense. The conspirators defeated in
lher main purpose were Of course under the burden
of their revealed purpose and whatever they did or
tried to do ascribed to the base motive and false
pretense which brought them together Being de-
eated on the direct question. they returned the
tack in another form, by resolution directing the
Secretary oi War 10 forbid the passage OF troops
through San Francisco. This was also defeated.
Whatever action vas taken and resolutions passed
after that were imprinted with the same motive, and
Jose character as sanitary propositions Out OF the
conference one satisfactory conclusion issues, that the
local sanitary authorities can cooperate cheerfuy
and effectively with Surgeon General Wyman. and
that can look forward to speedy determination OF
this prolonged. vicious and mercenary attack upon

BULLETS AS EVIDENCE.
Odd Facts Developed by Their Promi.
hence in Murder Trials.

hence in Murder Trials.
The important part played in many
murder trials by a tlattened and mis-
shapen bit of lead or steel, once in the
form of a bullet, often leads to the de-
velopment Of some curious facts. A
leaden bullet will lose appreciably in
weight by being fired and the form Of
the barrel may tend to reduce its size.
In rifle some of the lead is taken off
by the grooves. The friction also
heats and tends to partially melt the
outside Of the ball, and because Of
this 1t changes its shape in the air.
One peculiar fact about bullet Is
that 1t will very often make a wound
of entry smaller than the projectile
itself, even in so brittle a substance
as glass. Another strange fact about
a bullet is that it will often pass
through intervening clothing. making
hole that can hardly be noticed, and
yet carry on its point a circular piece
Of cloth. The carrying of bits of cloth
ing, hair or dirt into wounds in such
a manner greatly enhances the dam
ger of peritontis Were it not for this
latter contact the bullet would not be
nearly so dangerous, as its rapid flight
and heating makes 1t practically ster-
lie.
Blackened edges Of wounds are more
likely to have been caused by lead
bullet, although the ball with lead
tip could also produce this result. Re
garding powder stains. smokeless or
otherwise. nothing of great value is to
be gained when the shooting occurs
at a distance greater than twelve or
fifteen feet. At recent trial, says
the Baltimore American, doctor
stated that from powder marks on
the face he judged that the shot had
been fired at distance Of not more
than three feet. which conclusion was
later backed up by the assertion made
on the stand by the prisoner himself.

A FIGHT WITH DOGS.
Fierce Eskimo Animals that Dislike
White Men.

Fierce Eskimo Animals that Dis1iked
White Men.
In long Journey by sled, in the re-
gion of Great Bear Lake, EgertOn K.
Young had trying adventure with
Eskimo dogs, which he relates in MY
Dogs in the Northland." He had trav-
eled several days with his own dogs
to the point where the Indians We're to
meet him and replace the tired dogs
with fresh ones. When the dogs were
changed, his guide, who. had accompan-
led him throughout the journey to this
point, gave him II heavy whip, and said,
snow do not speak word, and there
will be no trouble. They do not like
white people, but If you do not speak
to them they will never suspect, in
their anxiety to get home"
l looked the fierce brutes over, says
Mr.. Young, placed my heavy whip so
l could instantly seize it, and made up
my mind that | was in for wild ride.
The owner Of the dogs applied his long
whip-lash to them. and away we start
ed at furious gallop.
We had travelled some distance when
l was startled by splendid black fox,
which dashed out of rocky island on
our left. He struck across our TRAIL and
made for another island of rocks half
mile to our right.
The dogs fell into disorder and sped
after him. AS we had fifteen miles yet
to 60, 1t was not safe to be racing after
a fox on this great lake. So resolved
to break the silence and bring the dogs
back to the trail, even il l had to fight
them.
Bracing myself on my knees. grip
ped the heavy whip SO that could use
the handle of 1t as a club. Then l shout
ed to the dogs in Indian to stop and
turn to the left.
The instant they heard my voice they
did stop-sO suddenly that my cariole
went sliding on, past the rear dog of
the train. They came at me furiously.
The leader Of the train, the tiercest of
the four, began the attack. 1t was well
for me that he did. for he swung the

only one at time could reach me. AS he
sprang to meet me guarded my face
with one hand, which wrapped in the
furs, while belabored the dog over the
head with the oak handle Of the whip.
Three or four good blows were all
that he needed. With howl he dropped
on the ice. while the next one in the
train tried to get hold Of me. One for
tunate clip on the side OF his head sent
him tumbling over his leader. Then |
had to face the third dog, which proved
the ugliest customer Of all, for his head
took a prodigious amount Of humping
before he yielded. Failing to get hold
of me, he tore the robes and the side
Of the cariole, which was made of
parchment.
1t was fortunate for me that the
traces of the fourth dog, fastened to the
front Of the cariole, SO held him back
that he was unable to do more than
grOwl at me.
When had conquered the third dog

had no hesitancy in speaking now. The
dogs showed no more desire for battle,
but only desperate desire to reach the
end Of the journey.

One Of the incest furniture polishes
you can have is made Of equal parts
of salad oil and vinegar shaken up to-
gether. Apply very sparingly with a
soft flannel and polish thoroughly with
soft cloths till not the faintest trace
Of Oiiiness remains. Remember that
an important adjunct to this polish Is
"elbow grease and that without it
the polish is worse than useless. for
any oiliness left on will only gather
the dirt and make the furniture dull.
