structed many miniature ships.
Mrs. Ogden Goelet has had made at an
enormous expense an edition de luxe of
Hyperion" 1t is a limited edition of
one and that will be placed in her library.
The heroine of annie Laurie" was the
daughter of Sir Walter Laurie, of Max

was William Douglas, of England, in the
stewartry of K~irkcudbright.
Leonid Andreyev is a new Russian
author whose work is taking its place
alongside that of Gorky in popularity.
He was born in 1871, and his literary
career did not begin until seven years
ago, after his failure as a lawyer.
Prof. White, of Ithaca, N. Y, has ar

COUNTRY BEHIND GLASS.
Florists Bring In Bits Of Field and
Forest for Window Dis
plays.

In the midsummer the town florists
keep their shop windows just as at
tractive as in spring. In one window,
filled with field flowers, noats al will a
company of bees and butterflies.
Thudding of the black and yellow bees
against the glass draws attention to
the window that has not already been
won by country bloom or light laden
butterfly wings.
Thoroughly pleasing is the window
which has been converted into a gar
den of decided landscape pretensions.
Grass seed is sprouting over the gently
undulating lawn that covers the entire
floor of the window. A grove of dwarf
maple trees flourishes in the back
ground. Below the grove lies a lake.
On the water float various kinds Of
little water plants. About the rim of
the lake runs a border of shrubs and
vines.
A picturesquely arranged pool of
water is a favorite ornamental device
in window arrangement among the
florists at this hot season. The pool Of
II window is surrounded by palms.
One palm is tipped forward SO that a
great leaf dips half way into the wa
ter.
Green is the keynote of all the win
dows. Ferns fill the background and
sides, cover the flooring and hang sus-
pended from the ceiling. The pots of
the ferns do not show from the street.
The effect is n mass of unbroken
green.

REPUBLICAN RoTTENNEss.
Party in Power in League with All
Kinds of Plundering Pol
i~ticians.

When the democrats claimed that
the republican party of Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania was politically and
morally rotten, the republican press
of the country defended the organiza-
ton and gloried in the large fraudulent
majority that was rolled Up in 1896,
1900 and 1904. How many congress-
men from Pennsylvania have held
seats in the national legislature and
will sit in the coming congress, whose
elections are tainted and whose ma
j~orities are composed of fraudulent
votes, it is impossible to say, but a
witness of the highest authority in the
republican party has just declared that
the Philadelphia rottenness is a stain
which a corrupt and criminal combina-
ton masquerading under the name of
republicans has put upon her" That
evidence is given by Elihu Root, re-
publican secretary of state, and he has
just Investigated conditions in Phila-
delphia as attorney for Mayor Weaver
and had the evidence before him that
compelled him to use such vigorous
and descriptive language of what had
so far been unearthed that it is safe
to say his opinion of the republican
organization is not overdrawn.
Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia joined
with the anti-ring republicans in I'M
dertaking to reform the city govern
ment, but no move has been made to
cleanse the state government which
has bolstered up and profited by the
%plundering of the cities. Until the re-
publican state ring is ousted and an
honest legislature elected, there can be
no permanent reform in the cities.
Nearly every strongly republican
state is suffering from the same des-
perate conditions that have been par
TALLY exposed in Pennsylvania, and
only in one state, Wisconsin, has the
party in power attempted to reform
and turn the rascals out. Gov. La Fol-
lette has partially accomplished that
task, in spite of the railroads and cor
p%orations, and his most active sup
porters have been the democrats of
Wisconsin.
In all the worst ring ruled states it
is without exception to be noted that
the railroad corporations, with their
immense power for political evil, are
always found siding with the ring, so
that they can more easily plumber the
people by escaping taxation and by
charging unreasonable rates.
BY the same test it will be found
that all state officials and congressman
who are being interviewed on railroad
rate legislation who fear that govern
ment control will be disastrous to the
railroads and the people, can, without
exception, be classed as belonging to
the republican ring. Therefore the
first reformation must be to depose
the railroads from political power, and
the initial step is for congress to pro-
tect the public by regulating the rates
the railroads can charge. The position
of the democrats in the last congress
in urging the passage of the Davey
bill is the best proof they are on the
side of the people.

Lone SLar state has so far failed to

hospital service in Vera Cruz, and last
ly by the delegation from the Pas
teur institute of Paris in Rio de
Janeiro, all confirm in the most con
vincing n both the accuracy and
comprehensiveness of the conclusions
of the American commission. 1t has
been well said that Reeds experiments
will always remain as models in the
annals of scientific research, both for
the eXactness with which they were
adapted to the points to be proved and
the precautions taken that no expert
ment should be vitiated by failure to
exclude all possible sources of error.
Appreciation of Reeds work was in
slant in the scientific world. Honorary
degrees from Harvard university and
the University of Michigan were con-
ferred upon him.
Yellow fever has ceased absolutely
in Havana, though previously the num-
Der of deaths annually had rarely
fallen below 300 and had often ex-
ceeded 1000. The proof of the mos
quito theory is regarded in scientific
circles as making it certain that yell
low fever has been conquered, anG
that it will never again get beyond
control.

Charles Finlay of Havana had ad-
vanced the theory that a mosquito
conveyed the unknown cause of yellow
fever. but did not succeed in demon
strating the truth of his theory.
DR.. H. R. Carter of the marine hos
pital service had written a paper show
ing that although the period Of incu-
baton was only five days. yet a house
to which a patient was carried did not
become infected for from Is to 20
days.
To Reeds mind this indicated that
the unknown ~infective agent has to
undergo a period of incubation of
from 10 to Is days and probably in the
body of the biting insect.
Up to this time the most generally
accepted theory as to the c~ausatioa of
yellow fever was that of Sanarelli, who
claimed that the bacillus iceteroids dis
covered by him was the specific agent
of the disease Maj. Reed, in associa-
ton with Dr.. Carroll, had, however, al

THRILLING PHASES OF H BATTLE
BEING WAGED IN THE STRICKEN
DISTRICTS OF LOUISIANA.
A CLASH OF ARMED FORCES is THREATENED
Exciting Incidents in Which the Governors of Two
States Figured-Federa Government in Charge
Directing Scientific War on the Disease
and the Mosquito.

New Orleans, Lathe shotgun quar-
antine which has prevailed in the
southern states bordering on the fever
stricken districts of Louisiana has
been n of the exciting and spectacu-
lar features of the outbreak of the
scourge this year. Refugees from New
Orleans and the other Louisiana towns
in which the yellow fever has appeared
have been hemmed in with gatling
guns and muskets in the detention
camps along the coast or near the
state lines of Mississippi, Texas and
Alabama. Great railroad and steam
ship transportation lines, extending
around half a continent, have been
shut down" so far as New Orleans
and all Louisiana are concerned. Pas
senger traffic is paralyzed, and even the
freight traffic is affected.
In the railroad stations just across
the Louisiana line in Mississippi and
Texas-but most rigidly in Mississippi
all travellers through Louisiana are
placed Unfortunately in the "refu-
gee class, They are herded for hours
and sometimes for days in these Dor.
der stations or in so-called camps"
TO which they are removed by force.
Once in a detention camp" which is
seldom a particularly sanitary place,
there is little or no chance for the de-
tanned traveller to gain his freedom
until the end of the customary term
of five days quarantine. Only then is
he allowed to so his way, and all that
he gets for his loss of time and the en-
durance of the horrors of the detention
camp is a health certificate of doubtful
value in the next state he enters.
In the enforcement of the quarantine
there have been numerous clashes of
authority, and clashes of arms were
imminent on several occasions. Armed
forces of Mississippi and Louisiana
confronted each other during the early
stages of the outbreak on land and
water. Menace of an interstate wal
was prevalent and hostilities might
have begun on a grand scale at any
moment. Intervention of the marine
forces of the United States was looked
to and invited as the only means of
preventing bloodshed.

Spectacular berating of each other

Free Passes and other Thines.

Nowhere is the party machine SO ON
nipotent as at Washington. Since the
late Mark Hanna perfected it, it has
dominated all legislation undertaken
by the republicans and allows no indie
pendent action. A new republican
member, when he leaves for the national
capital, If he believes in railroad rate
legislation and Is honest enough not to
accept a railroad pass would be looked
upon as a crank or a political fakir at
Washington. If any republican men,
Der has ever refused a free pass he is un-
known to fame, and such an opportunity
for renown can hardly have been omit
ted through artlessness, for such an at
tribute Is unknown among republican
politicians, at least at the national cap
ital. 1t Is cruel to send an honest repub-
lican to congress, the temptations there
are more than such a one should be ex-
pected to Withstand. 1t is safer to send
democrats, who, being In the minority,
are not tempted in like manner.

OFFICIAL GRAFT Is RIFE.
Republican Patriots for the Old Flag
and an Appropri-
alton.

Five special agents have bsen appoint
ed by President Roosevelt to investi-
gate trade conditions in foreign coun-
tries. A good fat salary accompanies
the position and all travelling expenses
are paid so these special agents will have
q soft snap for a year Dr. two. AS we
have consuls at every port and city of
consequence, and commercial agents at
other less important points, whose duty
it is to keep the state department in
formed on general trade conditions, it
will at once be seen that the work will
be duplicated. But that would be a
waste of effort, so all the special agents
will have to do is to interview the con-
suls or get their latest reports and for
ward them to the department of labor
and commerce and then their work will
be done until the next set of consular
reports are ready. The official graft that
these special agents are recipients of
causes even that stanch republican or
gan, the New York Evening Mail, that
has hitherto swallowed the most bitter
partisan doses, to gag at this latest po-
litical bolus and inform the administra-
ton that:
"The new agents of the government
would be most usefully employed going
about among merchants and manufac-
turers in this country and begging them
to pay some attention to the facts with
which the government is besieging
them through the consular reports.
But the Mail should know that the re-
publican laborers are many and the Of
fees to give them are few, so new posi-
ions must be created to satisfy the om-
nivorous appetite Of the republican poll
ticians for positions for their infuen-
tial henchmen. There is nothing that
SO fills the soul Of the average senator or
congressman with JOY as to land one Of
these coveted positions with little to do,
good pay, and all expenses paid. The de-
partmentthatha the sense to create this
kind of graft is sure of all the %appropria-
tions that it has the cheek to ask con-
gress for, and the senate will add a few
thousands extra to be sure there is
enough to go around.

Imbroglio on Land.
A clash between the land forces of
the two states seems to have been more
probable than between the forces afloat
in gulf and bay. Violation of the
sacred soil of Louisiana by invasion of
Mississippi soldiers was the cause of
the imbroglio or land. Dunbar, a
small town on the Louisiana side of
the state line, was the place invaded
by the troops from Mississippi. 1t was
not claimed that the invaders came
with hostile intent and their real mis-
sion was known to be to get their
meals, as Dunbar was the only ac-
cessible place to get food in the coun-
try where the armed men Of Mississip-
pi were maintaining one of the quar-
antine camps. But the governor of
Louisiana had hardened his heart
against the governor of Mississippi be-
cause of the latter's sensational pro-
nonuncement, in which the authori-
ties of New Orleans and all Louisiana
were charged with deception and mis-
representation in the alleged with
holding from the outside world of the
information that the yellow fever had
broken out in the Crescent City. So
Gov. Blanchard ordered Gov. Vardaman
to keep his troops at his own side of
the state line, which in effect was a de-
NAL to them of a place to eat on
Louisiana's terra firma.
Because of the friction %engendered
by the fierce controversy of the two
governors the travellers seeking to
break through the quarantine lines
were held back at the lannon's mouth
and the point of bayonet. 1t was an
unusual state of affairs-a condition
unique in the history of the country.
When the New Orleans populace
realized that soldiers of the neighbor-
ing state had invaded Louisiana with
arms and gunboats the Indignation was
so intense and general that even the
pressing necessity of fighting the
spread Of yellow fever by making war
upon mosquitoes was not permitted to
stand in the way of preparations for
measures of reprisals and retaliation.
A light-draft vessel was chartered for
the naval brigade of the states militia
and it vas announced that this vessel
would be fitted out and armed with
howitzers and machine guns and would
start out to protect Louisiana citizens
from further aggressions.
At Beaumont and Marshall. as well
as other points on the Texas border
and coast, the citizens have armed
themselves with shotguns to reinforce
the quarantine regulations that the
