NEW YORK AND The PLAGUE
Danger from the Eastern Disease
Has Been Diminished by
Science.


II mattered not whether the suspi-
cious cases Of diseases on the Indrani
we're due to bubonic plague or beri-beri,
there was no question as To what should
be done with the remaining crew when
his port was reached. says the New
York Herald The alert health officer
was determined TO take no chances OF
the development of either pest. Thus
with the first news Of the arrival OF the
ship and the account OF the sickness
aboard came the assurance that there
was no danger Of the spread OF either
malady. IL was a proof not only OF the
effectiveness OF modern sanitation but
OF the public confidence in the methods
adopted that no general alarm was oc-
casioned.
What would have produced positive
panic in times gone by Is now viewed as
mere matter Of passing interest which
does not In any way threaten the well
fare OF the community. Bubonic plague,
which was once dreaded as the most dis
astrous OF all disease infections. is now,
thanks To the recent advance In science.
robbed OF all It's real terrors. There Is
no longer a mystery regarding its spread
nor anxiety concerning its prevention.
Even II plague cases should be brought
20 our shores there would be no more
danger of the disease spreading than Of
any other infectious malady. The con-
ditions OF race. climate. diet and SAM
tary habits are, in this country al least,
entirely against the possibilities OF en-
demic propagation.
This has been abundantly proved In
the history OF the plague invasion OF San
Francisco. The cases. few and far be-
tween. we're confined 10 the Chinese In
Chinatown. Although the latter dis
trict is situated In the heart Of great
city. there has been no spread OF the pest
TO the white population.
II is popularity with plague that
the malady has a special prediction for
the yellow race. and Il is only in tho
most severe epidemics in the east that
the white men are attacked. Climatic
and other lnsanitary influences have
very much to do In explaining such con-
dItions. which are exactly opposite 10
those existing here.
II Is now well proven that plague Is
due TO an infectious microbe which at
tacks rats. ileas and flies. and by means
Of the latter agencies finds its way into
the human system. Hence the whole
sale destruction OF the vermin in ques-
ton Is considered one OF the most ef-
fective means OF eradioatlng the dis
ease. When proper precautions are
taken IN such directions there Is just as
much certainty OF preventing the spread
OF the malady as Of stamping out small
pox or arresting a typhoid fever cpl.
demic
Whatever. then, may be the future de-
velopments In the case Of the quaran-
tined crew OF the Indrani. or OF any other
vessel coming here under similar cir
cums,ances. the public need have no spe-
cial fear OF plague invasion In any shape.
Modern methods OF prevention now
make II simply a question OF proper dis.

A TERRIBLE CRASH.
Twelve Persons Killed and rs Injured

freight train at Kishman, o., near
Vermillion, resulting in the death of
~ persons. while at least 25 others

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-THE battle
ship Kansas. the largest war vessel
ever built in the east, was Launched
at the yard of the New York Ship
building Co., in Camden, N. J. The
launching was witnessed by Gov.
Hoch, of Kansas, whose daughter. Miss
Anna Hoch. acted as sponsor for the
ship. Along with the governor was a
christening party of 80 Kansans. An
unusual feature OF the launching was
the fact that the vessel was christened
with spring water brought from Kan
sas by Gov. Hoch. instead OF the Gus
tomary bottle OF champagne.

To the late Daniel lamont belongs
the credit Of originating the phrase
"puphc Office is public trust" which
has been commonly attributed to Gro
yer Cleveland. When private secretary
to Cleveland, then governor of New

let made up of Cleveland's notable pubs

paper man, Mr.. Lamont naturally cast
about for a striking headline or title
and the phrase, which has become so
widely known, suggested itself to his
