INDIA's MYSTERIOUS PLAGUE.

The Indian plague seems to be hard thing t,
stamp out The British government has beer
battling with it for years, yet it still exists Not only
ldoes it persist in Staying millions annually and ii
Indian doctors and plague experts who have beer
studying it for many years are still bafied Of any
appreciable control over it. 1t is freak to some
of its manifestations, and the extraordinary thing
about it is its uncertainty. Even yet, after all in
vestgation, study and experiments instead Of yield
ing to the sanitary preventive and corrective treat
ment which has been developed and applied to cpl
demc-rdden districts in which the conditions favor
ed the DOCTORS it ourshes most viruently in those
districts On the other hand, in the large cities of
India and in localities where necessarily it is harder
to apply medical and sanitary regulations, often it
is least known and least fatal although regularly
visiting those places This appears to be proof that
it is not yet understood in its relations.
The doctors are still in ignorance of why it RACES
in one district and skps another; why it will develop
and subside in given place much earlier one year
than another and why it is less viruent in places of
crowded population, difficult to bring under sanitary
laws than in others where the population is easier to
subject to medical government.
Two or three things of value are known about it.
The plague serum used in its treatment is valuable
1t lessons the possibility of catching the disease and
the probability of death from it. The incubation of
quarter of million people with the serum showed
that the percentage of attacks was 1872 among the
inoculated as compared to 306 among the uninocu,
lated and the death rate $3.50 against death rate of
52.15.
incubation, however does not solve the problem.
1t is not an absolute preventive of contagion of
DEATH and the natives Of India lessen its effective
ness by resisting its application. They also hamper
the English doctors in charge of the work of dealing
with the plague by showing an unwillingness to sub
nit to the regulations and treatment imposed Now
and then the doctors bunge their work IN way that
increases the native distrust Of them. Recently in
order to increase the supply Of serum, it was pre-
pared in new way and when the preparation was
administered to number of natives all were taken
with lockjaw and died. The result Of this was to
arouse an almost universal resistance to incubation
with the serum all over India The authorities have
anponcad +bo+ +hair yrpcina rolianoa for c,,oonoy
with the plague is the evacuation Of pagueinfested
localities till the disease dies out there. This is al
most equivalent to an acknowledgment Of failure in
dealing with the disease, since plague germs will
be carried away with them by the people
in such hegiras.

Distressing Incident Perpetrated in
the Name of Baseball.

\ terrible crime was committed at
Eastlake park yesterday afternoon.
Unfortunately the guilt rests upon the
innocent as well as the real offenders
and though there can never be full
eXpiaticn, any punishment that follows
will rest as heavily on those who are
not morally responsible for the out
rage, as it will on the most culpable.
Briefly speaking there was a dem
onstration at the park which the char
liable describe as an exhibition of the
national game. but rather, it was a
kindergarten pantomine, made the
more ludicrous by the fact that a lot of
the big boys participated. Worse than
all else they charged admission and
the gate receipts were awarded to the
fund on a foul.
But there is no blame attaching to
the gate keeper for like the fellows in
the grand stand he thought there was
to be a real ball game and after it was
over he could not tell who to give the
money back to for a lot of boys
sneaked in through the fence and they
would have been the most eager to de-
mand the return of the admission
price SO the only safe thing he could
do was to keep it in the interest of
the cause.
The above is all written without
malice and just to put the reader in the
proper frame of mind to understand
the rest of the story. The facts are
that the Glendale and Phoenix teams
had arranged a good game, in good
faith, and it has been demonstrated
that when everything is right these
two teams can put UP a mighty good
game of ball. 1t is not necessary
therefore to take back anything that
was said in the advance notices, for
no one was more disappointed than
the players themselves and 10 one re-
GREETED the throw down more than
they did. But some of the best players
on both teams were unavOidably alb
sent, notably the Glendale battery.
The Phoenix team in order to even
matters gave up some of its best play
ers to the other side and filed in with

The last rites in connection with

holes in the opposition were plugged
with the best material at hand. The
result was that the evening up process
was overdone and the aggregation that
sailed under the Glendale colors skin
ned the so-called Phoenix team by a
score Of Is to at the end of the fifth
inning, when the game was stopped
by the mutual consent of all, including
the grand stand. The players did their
best 20 entertain the fans who turned
out to help them along, but when their
failure became painfully apparent they
stopped the game, rather than perpet-
uate the misery on the bleachers and
bring the sport into disrepute.
Glendale went to bat first, getting
two runs in that inning, one in the
second. three in the third, seven in the
fourth, and none in the fifth, evidently
not trying to make any as their total
of thirteen was already appalling.
Phoenix was skinned in the first.
made four runs in the second, and
found nothing but goose eggs there
after.
Smith umpired the game. The line
up was changed at various times dur
ing the short incident and it would be
scarcely fair to give it, as none of the
players are seeking notoriety. They
did their best and it is probable that
no one will harbor unkind thoughts
respecting them for they were really
unfortunate and entitled to the broad
est measure of human charity.
