From the indianapolis News.
Vermont is going to fight consumption
Systematically. The Brooklyn Eagle rightly
thinks that this is worthy of remark both
as indicating how vivid the awakening on
this subject is becoming, and as illustrating
a characteristic of the disease, namely, that
it is a house disease. Vermont, we should
recall, has population of only 344, 600
not more than half as many as the city Of
St Louis. Moreover. it is a rural state.
with no large cities, while it's mountains its
pine woods, its clear streams, its pure air,
have made it the summer playground and
residence of the rich of the eastern states.
But Vermont is afflicted with the great
white plague to such a degree that she
will begin systematic effort for the preven-
ton and cure OF IT,
The cause Of the prevalence Of the disease
there is ignorance, the offspring of which Is
insanitary living. In this Vermont GER
tainly is not alone; the rural population Of
any state-or Indiana-needs warning. It
is only the outdoor work that enables the
people to make as great stand as they
do against this disease, fed and nurtured
as 1t is by insanitary dwellings and un-
healthy diet.
The sanitary arrangements of the aver
age farm house are appalling. Drains are
poor and sodden with years of neglect; sinks
and vaults are allowed to become plague
spots; the rooms of the house. generally
small and with low ceilings, are unventilat-
ed by night or day, while kerosene lamps
add their impure off-givings to the air.
Sleeping apartments are too often crowd
ed with occupants who all night breathe air
kept poisonous by tightly closed windows
In Vermont this sort Of thing Is coming to
its own SO completely that now the state is
forced to fight the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
tion-in a systematic way. The leaf out Of
the book for our information is plain. We
shall one day have state sanatorium for
consumptives; but a no less valuable part
of the campaign is that which shall educate
the dwellers in small towns and farms to
wholesome way of living as to drains, ven
tilation and proper food.

ANOTHER ceMMUNE DYING.
Pending Disbapdhent of the Inspira-
tionisRs ofsAmana, Iowa.

From the brooklyn Eagle.
Communists willahe disheartened by the
news that tHe iAspirationists of Amana.
Iowa, are to- break. up their society and
go into the world. 1.-THE Amanites form the
strongest cooperative company in America.
They number nearly 1000; they own 25,O0O
acres of land, they have mills. shops, bak-
cries, laundHes, soap works, bindery,
starch and 9pepsino factories; they have
flocks and herds, and they employ staff of
drunmers to, sell their products. Every
man. woman, and child in the community
has comfortable home, with medical at
tendance in case of Illness, with an as
surance of sufficency in food and cloth
ing, and an allowance of homemade wine.
At the end of the year there is cleanup
of profits and every member of the COM
mune receives about $50 as pocket money,
which can be spent for books or simple
pictures or simpler furniture. Display and
luxury are sternly frowned upon; life is
serious business, to be occupied largely
with church going when one is not at work,
and there is no individual liberty, except
that of smoking cigar once in while.
One may no more leave the villages with
out permit than the soldier or the sailor
could leave the fort or the warship.
The Amanites have been little Influenced
by other people because they live apart
from them in a group of villages long
way from any important town. Visiting is
discouraged, and the man VINO mas 10 put
up with them over night is likely to re-
member his Accommodations" German
is the speech of the people, and they pre-
serve the old world ways of living. The re-
HgiouS bond holds them closely, and in order
that this bond may not relax education is
not complete, and the members of the order
are taught to look upon persistent labor as
the chief end of existence, after prayers.
In busy seasons the cotton and wooden
mills are in operation at 1870 in the morn
ing and close at 6, while the work in the
hot fields is nearly as long. And at the
end of it the Amanite has six feet of
earth in a little cemetery where no one
has monument that eXalts him above his
neighborS.
So far as communism is an enticing mode
of life it should be SO considered in Amana.
All the necessities are furnished, one is
even allowed to have a few books and
clock, but in spite of the attempt to keep
from Cedar Rapids and Des Moines at
home also, the schism which has just oc-
CURED marks the entrance of the serpent
into the Eden. Whether the serpent is
sefishness, luxury, ambition or free
thought, matters little; he has stung a
number of the people, and there is no cure
for the bite, except to go into the world
and wear more brilliant clothes, eat more
varied dinners see shows, ride in carriages
and automobiles, read novels and news
papers, mingle with the irreligiouS, go to
parties and even dance 1t is not enough
to have enough; there must be more than
enough.

DEATH IN ALASKAN AVALANCHE
Grim Disaster in Which a Party Of
Gold Seekers Perished.

Calusa Corr. Sacramento Bee.
News of a tragedy of the far north has
just reached here after many years. The
lives of twenty-seven human beings were
snuffed out in twinkling by an avalanche
of ice and snow, and their frozen bodies,
found months afterward, were all that re-
manned to tell the awful story of the grim
disaster.
In the spring of 1898 a party of Colusans,
among whom was Leonard Gaillard, left
here for Alaska in search Of gold Months
went by without a word from any member
of the party and then friends and relatives
began to feel uneasiness. Letters and mes
sages of all sorts were sent to the faraway
country in the hope of hearing of or from
the party. In the end nearly all were ac-
counted for in some way or other except
Gaillard.
1t was generally believed by Gaillards
friends that he had perished but 1t was
only few days ago that the true story of
his death was made known by Richard
Williams, formerly of this place, but now
of Chico.
In the spring of 1899 Williams met Call
lard in Dawson. The latter was one of
party of twenty-seven who had come into
the town with their dog sleds to get their
supplies for the winter. He told Williams
where he was mining and how to reach the
place. He said the journey would require
ten or twelve days time and that he would
start on the return trip in day or two.
He did so. But he never reached his dig
gings and it was the last seen alive of
either him or his party of twenty-six men.
On the long way home an avalanche of
ice and snow swooped down upon them,
burying them from sight until the summer
came, bringing with it weather warm
enough to melt their cold covering and ex-
pose their bodies to view. They were all
there-the entire twenty-seven. Their bod
les were In good state of preservation
when found There was no evidence of
struggle to retain life. The avalanche had
done its cruel work swiftly and well. Death
had claimed them for it's own on the in
slant.
With the frozen bodies were found the
dead sled dogs. All had persisted without
struggle save one. The leader Of one of
the sled teams had not been buried en-
tirely by the avalanche and 1t was evident
he had struggled fiercely for life and liber-
ty. But his harness had held him pris-
oner, and he could not get away Finally
hunger added it's terrors to that OF the
piercing cold and the dog in desperation
had eaten of the one nearest him until his
own life blood froze in his veins and the
end came.

Base Ball Till Midnight.
n the Port Townsend Call

From the Port Townsend Call.
'The Yukon country went wild over base
ball last summer, and crowds attended the
games at Dawson twice week between
Pm and midnight, from May 81 to August
% last. There were between 5000 and 1000
persons at each game. and take it that
nowhere else in the world has the game
ever been played at night from o'clock on
toward the midnight hour" So spoke
Sheriff r. ]. Eilbeck, who Is in California
spending the winter. Sheriff Eilbeck says
that the Yukon territory authorities appro-
priated $4,000 for fine base ball grounds,
and that the great American game has en-
pleasure during the summer months.

GROWTH OF LUXURY.
Display a Passion and Extravaganza
and Obligation of the Rich.

From the Wall Street Journal
A business man said to the other day:
Last night I took dinner at which one of
the courses was served to me in plate
which cost $3.50. Just think of $3.50 being
expended for single plate not merely for
decorative purposes, but for actual service
on the dinner table And yet that is only
one petty Illustration of the growing luxury
of the times.
There appeared in print a short time ago,
from the pen of a well-known writer, a
statement that a young couple having a
joint income of 100000 year found that
they could not keep up the pace of fashion
able life in this city and Newport on $1,000
a day, and were continually running be-
hind. 1t is a well-known fact that many
rich people, living in very luxurious man.
ner, are slow in the payment of their bills,
keeping tradespeople waiting for their
money for months, and sometimes for
years. One reason for this is that the
demands of fashionable life upon their in
come subjects them to as much of a finan-
cial strain that which makes the life of
a $15-a-week clerk with a wife and baby
to support an anxious one.
1t is not luxury or refinement of living on
the part of the rich, but extravaganza in
the display Of wealth that is the chief evil
1t is not that the rich build beautiful
homes, patronize the arts and maintain
but the wild excuses and extravaganceS
and the throwing to the winds those con-
siderations of morality which are the basis
of national prosperity. The London Spec
tator, in recent article, well says that it
is not the luxury so much as the extrava-
gance of the rich that does the harm The
really mischievous rich man is he who
spends so much on luxuries that he cannot
even pay his way. The rich who spend so
much in selfish pleasures that they cannot
make both ends meet. and thus defraud
those who serve them, or keep them walt
ing for their pay; the rich who give the
example of running in debt In order to sup
port a manner of living beyond their means:
the rich who spend SO much on themselves
that they have little to give in charity; the
rich who devote SO much time to pleasure
that they have no time left to devote to
the services of their kind; the rich who
show reckless disregard of the rights Of
other people and have lofty disdain for
those who are not equal to them in social
standing: the rich who measure everything
by the rule of money and worship only the
god Success are the people who
corrupt the people and undermine civiliza-
ton. Happily there are many rich who are
not of this class One of the economic
problems of our times presents itself in the
consideration of this subject for one of the
disturbing developments of the day Is the
assault on wealth as wealth.

Neutral Zones on the Atlantic.

The State Department has received the
memorial recently adopted at the conven-
ton of maritime interests in Boston re-
questing the government to initiate
movement looking to an international
agreement to declare neutral certain de-
fined zones across the North Atlantic In
time of war. AS the subject is one which
is in a way connected with the general
proposition to exempt private property on
the high seas from seizure in time of war,
it will probably be held in reserve by the
State Department until The Hague triDunai
is reconyened at the conclusion of the pres
emit war, when it is expected that such
matters may be considered by the august
tribunal.
