SITUATION CRITICAL
Says Or. J. A. Eoan, in an Interview
With Springfield Paper.

The serious yellow fever situation tn
the South and the dangerous location
of Cairo as a point at which the dis
ease may get foothold in the North
have caused the Illinois authorities to
putt the CITY under a strict quarantine
said yesterdays Springfield Register
The city is isolated fron all the world
and travellers can approach from no
direction without certificate Of
health, which can only be secured
from the city hoard Of health Of Cairo
or the secretary Of the state board of
health, Dir. j A. Egan
Visitors 10 the city from the infect
ed districts of tho South. as soon as
they arrive. are placed in detention
cars ana there remain until the Ast
train back The authorities Ave
adopted these stringent rules to keep
out all yellow fever
The situation in the South at this
time Is more critical than generally
supposed and the action IT the Cairo
authorities In enforcing such d strong
quarantine betrays their fears Of the
dreaded yellow jack sreading to the
North The quarantine may be better
realized when II II stated that Cairo is
under the same quarantine as Mem
phis, Tenn, d city much farther south
and more liable to become Infected.
Or. Egan, OF the state board OF
health, has been in Cairo the past
week looking TO the enforcement Of

GOVERNOR SHOT BY BOY.

A dispatch from Viborg, European
Russia, says that Gov. Miasorodcff was

Reinikke, who had lost one of his
arms recently in a railway accident,
when asked if his name was Reinikke,
replied "The police of Helsingfors

get financial aid there.

of Cordoya to prison. Prosecutor

TUESDAY EVENING, MAR. 81, 1905.

The republicans having a majority
OF the Missouri Legislature on Satur'
day evening last elected Major William
Warner who, however, was not the eau
Gus nominee Senator from that State.
General Francis NJ. Cockrell, who closed
his thirty years service as a Senator
from Missouri on March 4th, was sup
ported ON every one of the sixty odd
ballots by the solid democratic member
ship of the legislature, except ON the
last ballot, when Major Warmers cleo
ton was assured. Then a democratic
member addressed the chair, saying he
had voted for Senator Cockrell on every
ballot, "a man he did not know; be
would now vote for William Warner, a
man he did know" Indeed not many
democratic tears will be shed al Senator
CockrelPs defeat. The honors his
Slate and party paid him apparently
we're not as much appreciated as was
the incense of 1attery which reached
him from republican administration.
Senator Cockrell was a delegate TO the
democratic convention, and was voted for
as A candidate for President when Judge
Parker was nominated. 1t is not OF
record that he made any effort to bring
about Judge Parker's election. Missouri
was supposed to be so surely democratic
that no great work was done in the State
by that party. On Thursday, November
10, 1904, press dispatches from st. Louis
stated
There was no hint that the democratic
legislature was in danger. The re-elec'
ton of Senator Francis M. Ceckrell was
taken for granted by both parties. He
made no special canvass for reelection.
In Kansas City his friends assailed the
character of six or eight democratic can
didates for the legislature, and defeated
them, surprising that the votes would
not be needed to make a majority.
This in part tells the story, and for
some time past it has been intimated that
some democratic Senators, in political
sense, also looked upon General COckrell
as "a man he did not know" Able ana
honest as a Senator he was, but his near
ness to the present administration and
the immediate offer and acceptance of
lucrative position from President Roose-
welt will cause little regret that ne has
been succeeded by republican, unless
we could have democrat who would go
into democratic caucus and abide by
its action.

THE BRooKToN HORROR.

The boiler explosion, fire and loss Of
life yesterday morning at Brockton,
Mass, Was described ia Tie Gazette. 1t
is believed that SOpersons lost their lives
and that 80 we're injured. The survivors
give thrilling descriptions of their ex-
perience.
One of the first to reach the shoe fac
tory ruins was Rev. James A. o. Rourke,
curate of st. Margaret's Roman Catholic
Church. From his residence, near by,
he saw the building tremble and then
burst into flames. He rushed to the
factory and helped in the work of the
rescue until his shoulder was dislocated
and he tainted from exhaustion. Father
O'Rourke said last night:
"Pinned beneath heavy pieces of ma
chinery, timbers, and twisted coils OF
pipe, we're many, oh, so many, men aud
women, suffering terrible agony. In
order to reach these imprisoned sufferers
we had to crawl through the debris and
with the aid OF large timber we raised
the wreckage, which held fast several
men and women. In this manner and
by brute strength we pulled out seven
employees. BY this time the flames were
almost upon us, and we were about to
flee for safety, when one poor fellow
begged that last effort be made to save
him. Three of us grasped the man by
the shoulders and arms and tugged and
pulled until suddenly be cried: MY
God, my leg is pulled off, 1t was ter
rible, especially so because a moment
later, with our clothing scorched, we
we're ordered away by the chief of the
fire department and we're reluctantly
compelled to leave the poor man to his
fate. Just before leaving saw at least
fifteen of the imprisoned operatives, some
already suffering untold agony from the
flames, which were actually cooking
their flesh, and Others watching with
terror. stricken eyes the fate OF their COM
paniona, knowing that moment or two
would bring to them similar suffering,
aud then DEATH"

Divorce Issue Splits Catholic Social


An issue on the divorce question has
been raised in Catholic social circles in.
Washington by an organization known,
as Daughters of the Faith. which re
quires its members to sbun divorced
people, to refuse to eat at the same table,
or hold any social relations whatsoever.
This was Objectionable to some of the
members, particularly to Mrs. Nelson.
whose daughter, Mrs. Arthur Kemp,
pow Mrs. Hollis Hunnewell, has recently
figured in divorce, ann there was a
split in the society.
Miss LOOMS, one of the organizers,
went to Rome last month and got the
Pope's sanction of the society and its
strict views on the marriage question.
In the meantime, the more liberal
Catholic women of New York have or
ganizc1 another club, and they are pre-
pared to bring competition against Miss
Loomis and her co-workers. Prominent
in this club are Mrs. Robert Cutting
Mrs. Delaney Kane and Others of the
fashionable social set. These women do
not intend to force the divorce question
