SMALLPOX DEVELOPS.
Two Employees of Pawnee Bill Show
Under Treatment.

William Bacon, one of the colored work
men employed in the Pawnee Bill wild
West Show, developed smallpox at the local
quarantine camp last night, and has been
removed to the smallpox hospital At the
time of the discovery of the case of small
pox among the men who had come here
with the show Thursday last the local
health officials made a rigid inspection of
the attaches of the aggregation, with the
result that one man was removed to the
detention camp on suspicion. The inspec-
tor of the health office states that this man
was the only one who showed signs of HI
ness at the time of the inspection, and he
did not exhibit symptoms of smallpox. 1t
was decided to take charge of him. how
ever, and last night the disease developed
The case is said to be slight.
The health Office authorities state that
Bacons case could not have come from eX-
posture to the other case, because the period
of incubation was too short. They declare
that the two men must have both been ex-
posed to the disease at the same time.
Where this exposure took place no one has
been able to ascertain, but it is announced
positively that 1t was not In this city and
that no other cases have occurred or are
likely to occur among the people in the
show.

on both sides of the river. while the Aque-
duct bridge afforded splendid view of the
course for several hundred. Boats of all
descriptions were on the river, carrying
from two to dozen people, and the dis
play of flags on all sides added to the
beauty of the occasion

NOT PROPERLY FILED
CHARGES AGAINST MANAGEMENT
OF ST. ELIzABETH's HOSPITAL.
Medical staff, However. Reports Al
legations Not Substantiated-
Pay Of Subordinates.

The article in yesterdays Star in regard
to the unfortunate condition of things at
the Government Hospital for the Insane
was incorrect in so far as 1t stated that a
true statement of the troubles in that in
stitution had been submitted to the board
of visitors of the hospital. The president
of that body says no such statement has
been received
1t is true however, that paper substan-
TALLY setting forth the complaints referred
to was placed in the hands Of a member of
the board Wednesday. 1t was, however,
not addressed to any person or body, and
not signed geographically by any person,
although number of typewriter names
were attached. The board at it's meeting
yesterday concluded that the matter was
not submitted in proper form for it's ac-
ton.
In the meantime a report by a special
committee appointed to investigate the
matter Of reduction of wages was submit
ted to the board at it's meeting yesterday
and approved by that body.
The Committees Report
copy Of the report follows:
THE committee appointed at the last
meeting of the board of visitors to con-
slider the subject of the pay roll of the in
stitutfon has to report:
arisen since the adoption of the schedule
Of wages in June, 1900. The superintend-
ent has therefore carefully revised the pay
roll, and the attendants and nurses have
been reclassified systematically, with the
result that a few reductions In pay tem-
porarily) were made, and an equal number
of advances, the sum total of the entire
pay roll being increased $1,000 per annum
The maximum pay of charge attendants,
nurses and charge nurses was increased 50
per month. distinction is made between
the pay of attendants and nurses to en-
courage the former to avail themselves OF
the opportunities offered by the training
school. The process is one of reclassifica-
ton and readjustment to new conditions,
which should operate to the material ad-
vantage of the employees.
ut does not appear that any dissatfsfac-
ton exists among the employees, who now
fully understand the advantages Of the
new system
This would seem to clear away the pay
question. AS to the other charges relating
to food and clothes, an informal invest1ga-
ton was made today, and from reports
made by all of the medical staff 1t is said
on authority that the allegations were not
sustained.

True Newspaper Circulation.

From the British Advertiser tLendon).
Sensa tionalism, picturesque editing, noise
and buster along any lines out of the ordi-
nary run mean little or nothing to the ad-
vertiser. Coupon competitions, big circula-
tons on foot ball and racing results, circu-
lations on sensational events or news,
should be eyed askance. The real circula-
ton Of a newspaper is the bedrock number
which represents the normal average for
every issue. The best friend of the ad-
vertiser Is the man who reads the paper
because he likes the paper, and goes more
or less comprehensively over most of the
features. The man who uses paper tenn
porarily to find out clue for buried treas
ure, to cut out a coupon for the purpose of
guessing winners in a competition, or to
find the result of a horse race OF a dog
fight, or sensational murder trial, is hard
ly likely customer in one case out of two
hundred. Select your journal for the COM

MANILA, May 4. 1904.
We have known comparatively little
about 1t in the United States, but the chol-
era has been raging in the Philippine Is
lands for nearly year and half. The
number of cases was over 10000 and the
number of deaths over 100000, but the sick
ness in Manila has been much less than in
other cities and provinces because of the
energetic efforts of the board of health
and sanitary employees and the manner In
which the water supply has been protected.
There is a great need of improvement in the
water supply of the smaller towns, and the
commission has directed the consulting en-
gineer to investigate the cost of driving
deep artesian wells at government expense
wherever they are needed. Commissioner
Worcester, who has charge of that branch
of the public service. speaks with great
enthusiasm Of the courage, the bravery
and the ability of the department of pub
lie health and credits 1t with protecting
Manila from a threatening scourge. Said
he:
Ravages Of the Cholera.
The cholera epidemic is at present wear
ing itself out in the more remote parts Of
the archipelago. with occasional active out
breaks at different points. The statistics
have not yet been thoroughly digested, but,
up to September I, 1903, there were official
ly reported for the islands 157 ,O36 cases
of cholera, with 102, 100 deaths. These
numbers probably do not represent more
than two-thirds Of the cases and deaths
which have actually occurred. Many towns
were without physicians other persons
capable of recognizing cholera, so that nu-
merous cases were not properly diagnosed.
Many of the municipalities had no sanitary
organization, and statistics are avail
able with reference to the mortality among
the pagan tribes. In numerous instances
the sick were concealed and false state
ments were made as to the cause of death,
so that official returns, where they exist,
cannot be accepted as complete.
THE total cases in Manila to date have
been SIP, with 1888 deaths, giving a case
mortality of 77.2 per cent. During the year
there have occurred in Manila 1,179 cases,
with S94 deaths, giving case mortality of
1913 per cent. There have been 5000 cases
and 2,J8S deaths among males and 1,7S9
cases and 1884 deaths among females. In
fourteen cases the sex was not noted
These figures show that the number of
males affected has been about twice that
OF females, due doubtless, to the greater
exposure to infection of the former while
working on the water front and eating
In the small shops where food is sold to
labOrers.
The cases In Manila have been distrib-
uted by races as follows:

VICTORY FOR INDEPENDENTS.
Local Comment on the Nomination Of
Deneen

The rise to political fame of c. S. Deneen
who was nominated yesterday for governor
by the Illinois republicans, has not been
of the meteoric character, but the result
of long and steady application to politics
in Cook county and the manifestation of
the possession of political ability of high
order. Mr.. Deneen, the son of a Presby-
terrain minister in a little town way down
in southern Illinois, Egypt" as the sec
ton is known in that state, went to Chi
cago about twenty years ago and hung out
his shingle as a lawyer.
He obtained little practice in the crimi-
nal courts at first and struggled along after
the fashion of young lawyers making a
start Then he became the attorney for a
building association, which gave wider ac-
Quaintance and suggested his taking part
In politics. He was soon given charge of
a ward. and as its leader made record
for being able to deliver the vote of his
ward when called upon.
He at first identified himself with the
Organization in Cook county. and was
supported by Lorimer. Mr.. Deneen was
made prosecuting attorney and was men,
Der of the state committee for many years.
All the time his business was growing and
he was extending his hold upon politics.
In the past few years he has drifted
away from the Lorimer organization and
associated himself with the independent
and reform elements In Cook county poll
tics. He has many friends throughout ILL
nois, and 1t is believed that he will make
q strong canvass.
His nomination was a victory of the in
dependent republicans over the organiza-
ton of Cook county and the state machine
which was Endorsed by the federal Office
holders. The two senators, Representatives
Lorimer, Warner and other members OF
the House, together with Speaker Cannon.
were against Deneen and Yates, but not
withstanding this formidable array OF So
called federal OppOSitiOn, the independents
won.
Illinois people in Washington say that
the struggle for control of the party or
ganization will continue. but they do not
believe the contest will endanger the state
ticket and certainly will not embarrass in
the slightest the national ticket.

Neither vagrant Nor Dangerous.


To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
My attention has been called to a letter
published in your Issue of the 31st ultimo,
in which B. H. c. calls the attention of
the community to the necessity of muzzline
big vagrant Great Dane dog, which can
be seen at almost all hours roaming the
neighborhood. etc. and lest he should give
the dog bad name and hang him, rush
to print.
The term vagrant signifies, when applied
to dogs, without home, and when ap-
piled to humans. without visible means of
support. This dog, born of the best Eng
lish and Danish strains, imported from
England, registered in the A. K. c. g. B.,
and licensed by our collector of taxes has
two homes one at 18th and l and another
In Montgomery county, Nd, at each of
which he lives six months of the year; his
nights he spends at home, and his days
at his masters office. The only time he fs
to be seen wandering is early in the morn
Ing and late In the afternoon Why then
vagrant? The inhuman cry of ''muzzle'' is
now played out, save in the minds of the
thoughtless and unlearned, especially in the
case Of a dog which has lived harmlessly
In the same place for the last three years
is the constant playmate of children, and
as B. H c. himself says, appears, on close
observation, well-mannered and gentle"
and Is "a harmless dog"
trust that this will convince him that
his complaint Is both unnecessary and IL
logical, and that he may take courage and
save car fare from the information that
the apparently ferocious, even though
harmless animal" had left town before his
letter was published. HOWE TOTEM.
