panic-stricEen crowds all over western
India. Every year since the mortality
has spread, dctyipg every attempt 10
check it, till the Surviving HinGccs have
becoma Indifferent. after successfully
resisting the Humanitarian and 1ciertific
action OF TIE government. Every mail
brings its CHASTITY record ofthe mortality
but the figures and the factsa,e passed
by as normal or Of no account, In the
last week of May 28,219 deaths FROM
plague were recorded in India, chiefly IL
the Punjao.
But the same wecl, gives the first
streak Of hope that the pestil2nee is burn-

reforms on a sufficient scale have been
effected. In Bombay city tie total NOR
tally from all causes, including plague,
fell steadily to 1913 per LOCO.
The mortality Tell from LOCO week in
February to only SIS. The specific cause
of plague ard the life Of the bacillus out
side of the human body are not known
But this much Bombay has made public
that the pestilence il q 6ige2se of To-

Family.

The administrations of different
chiefs of police and freak orders
which one or the other had issued were
under discussion at headquarters.
Each patrolman had a story to tell.
They were careful, however, to tell
nothing that would get them before
the trial board, relates the Record
Herald.
