1t Present Time.
81. Petersburg, April THE terrible
sanitary condition OF Harbin. which, It
is feared. win lead to an epidemic, Is
revealed in a dispatch TO the Novosti.
The matter Is OF particular importance,
in view OF the fact that Hardin is the
center OF Russian military and civil au-
thorlty in Manchurla. All the troops
pass through this point, and all pro-
visions and medical supplies are
brought there.
Despite the dry spring and summer
and peaceful conditions in the territory
last year. there were cases OF cholera
and typhoid. further development Of
which was stopped by the November
frosts.
The chief cause Of the contagion Is
the water OF the Sungari river and the
shallow wells, which are located in un-
sanitary places. Another source Of con-
tagion is that the great filth in the
winter has not been disposed of. but
lies exposed above the ground in the
heart of the city, the streets Of which
are filled with refuse.

BUTTERFLY WORTH $4,000.
Ohio Man Captures Rare Insect in His
Rambles in South
America.

John Haviland, whose home is in
Springfield, O., arrived in New York
from Ecuador some days ago with a
butterfly such as was never seen before
here-one so beautiful and so rare, says
the New York Globe, that it is worth
SIS 900. It has been sent to Lord Nathan
ial Rothschild in London, who has for
years collected remarkable fleaS and
strange butterflies.
Mr.. Haviland was private secretary
to Mai. John Hartman, manager of the
Guayaquil & Quito railroad, now be-
ing built between these two South
American cities, thereby opening up the
Andes.
During his spare moments Mr.. Havi-
land amused himself by catching and
mounting the many beautiful butter
flies and dragon flies which fitted about
the orchid-hung trees of his Ecuadorian
home. One specimen was of such
beauty that fearing his mounting might
be too crude for perfect preservation,
he brought it to a professional in New
York city to have the beautiful fly more
carefully preserved.
Immediately the old collector went
into ecstasies.
"You have" he said, "the only butter
fly of this kind have ever seen. am
the American agent for Lord Roths-
child, who is collecting flies and fleas,
and has the rarest collection and the
most valuable in the world. He has
just paid $25O,OO0 for pair of fleas.
You must send this butterfly to England.
If Lord Rothschild has none like it he
will pay you good for it, and it shall
be known as the Haviland fly"
The amateur butterfly catcher was
more than surprised. He had not
dreamed that his little insect w&s worth
SO much money. But he left it with the
old collector, to be shipped to London.
