The Tartar siege and the introduction
of the Black Death into Europe
These Tartars might very easily have
taken the disease from the people of
India. II that is the true story OF the
train OF events, then the Black Death
of the Middle Ages was the modern
plague, a disease which we know to
be caused by certain specific bacil-
lus.
Efforts have been made to learn the
means by which this disease is car
ried, and what causes lead to ar out
break. Certain facts bearing on these
points have lately come to light and
may lead to correct knowledge of
the means Of plague transmission.
| Rats have the disease and rat fleas
have been examined and found to
contain quantities OF the plague ba-
cilli. Ordinarily the rat fleas are not
found on man. During epidemics OF
plague, however, these rat fleas are
found in notable quantities on human
beings, and there is no evident reason
why they might not inoculate man by
their bites. Doubtless, these thing:
have something to do with the spread
of plague, although enough is no
known to allow the whole chain o:
events to be made out.

.AlNED IN TIME TO POST.
PoNE EXECUTION.

Springfield, Aug. 24.-(Special)-
For the third time since his arrest
and conviction on the charge of muir
der, "Bluebeard" Johann Hoch has
come within few hours of execution
and has escaped the gallows through
the vigilance Of his attorneys and his
friends. Today. on an order from
Judge Magruder, of Chicago, the clerk
of the supreme court issued today a
writ Of supersedeas in the case of
Hoch, who was sentenced to be
hanged tomorrow
Hoch has been confident throughout
that he would again escape death !.
The stay granted by Governor Deneen
some time ago, when the money was
raised to carry Hoch's appeal to the
supreme court, would have expired to-
morrow, and the officials Of Cook
county had already begun to make
preparation for the execution when
the word arrived at the all from this
city that the writ of supersedeas had
been isued. This writ, as it's name
signifies, takes precedence over all
other orders of any court in the state,
including the postponed order for the
execution and until the arguments on
the writ are heard. Hoch need not
fear the hangman.
The review of Hoch's case will come
up at the October term Of the SUI
preme court.

KERMIT SURPRISED ENeLlsHMAN
Keeps His Identity Secret on the
Train.

Council Bluffs, Aug. 24.-During a
trip home from Missouri last Satur-
day evening. George M. Hayne hap
pened to be riding on the same train
with Kermit Roosevelt, son of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who made a trip
to the west on his own account He
had short conversation with young
Roosevelt, who is youth of Is years,
and found the later to be possessed
of plain western manners and speech,
with decided objections to having any
"fuss" made over him because of his
family connection.
Mr.. Mayne vouches for an incident
on the train tending to show the aver
sion to publicity shown by the Presi-
dents son. A young Englishman was
aboard the train and happened to fall
in with young Roosevelt, not knowing
who his acquaintance was. The Brit
Usher said he was going west to be-
come a ranchman, and his companion
replied: my father used to be on
a ranch out ther.."
'Is that so?" said the erstwhile is
lander. eff he's out there yet maybe
I'll run across him.
mo, he's not ranching any more"
was the only information that young
Roosevelt vouchsafed in response to
this suggestion.
All the passengers in the car wo--
much amused over the conversation
between the two. The Britisher was
greatly surprised on being told that
he had been talking with President
Rooseyelt's SON.
