Smallpox, or variola, was not known
to the Romans before the sixth century.
Leprosy is as different from it as palsy
is from st. Vitus' dance. What is this
awful disease? Something endemic.
chronic, malignant, with cutaneous
lesion. 1t is a scabious affection Of a
dreadful character, attacking nations
negligent of cleanliness and the decen-
cies of life. All that France and Eng
land gained by engaging in the cru
sades was leprosy, and Of all that they
took leprosy was the only thing that
remained with them. In olden times
every man laboring under the disease
was imprisoned like thief or robber.
Moth holes and the mildew on walls
were believed to be the effects Of lep-

Message to American People.

st. Petersburg, Oct 31.-T am sure
the American people, who understand
what freedom is and the American
press, which voices the wishes of the
people, will rejoice with the friendly
Russian nation at this moment, when
the Russian people have received from
his imperial majesty the promises and
guarantees of freedom, and will join in
the hope that the Russian people will
wisely aid in the realization of these
liberties by cooperation with the gov
eminent for their peaceful introduc-
ton. Only thus will it be possible to
secure the full benefits of the free
dom conferred upon the people"
Count Witte, Russia's first premier,
tonight sent the above message to

Joy in Land of the Gar.

st. Petersburg, Nov. ALI Russia
today enthusiastically received the
emperors gift of freedom, which the
greater part of the people received
with the greatest joy, though in st.
Petersburg. Moscow and other cities
socialists and reyolutionists organized
demonstrations and
red flag parades, which, VITA the pa
triotic manifestations, led to a num-
Der of conflicts between the reds"
and whites" as the anti-government
and royalist factions are respectively
termed. On the whole the day passed
more quietly in Russia than had been
expected.
In each of the two capitals, St.
Petersburg and Moscow the day was
one such as the Russians never before
have seen.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 1.-Two weeks
ago today the whole town of st.
Michael, Alaska, was drunk The pre-
vious evening the steamer Valencia
ran aground shortly after leaving St.
Michael and was forced to jettison
several tons of her cargo, including
many barrels Oh whisky and wine, in
tended for Nome dealers. In "a hours
the liquor was washed ashore at St.
Michael and confiscated by natives.
The barrels were opened on the beach
and the natives became so drunk that
soldiers were called out to quiet them.
1t was but few hours later that the
soldiers also were joyous The citi-
zens of the town followed to the beach
to see the sight and the smell of the
liquor proved their undoing.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-Three lives were
lost, property valued at $15O0O0 was
Destroyed, sores OF families were
made homeless and freight traffic on
the Nickel Plate railroad was DELAYED
for several hours as the result of the
breaking of the water main at
Eighteenth and Clark streets Sunday.
The fatalities resulted indirectly from
the bursting of the water pipe. which
flooded the immediate neighborhood
Tor several blocks, damaging a num-
Der of business houses.
Two of the persons who lost their
lives were overcome by gas in the Hi
nois tunnel at Eighteenth street and
Armour avenue, while attempting to
ascertain If the flood had damaged
the property of the company. The
other death was the result of a shock
to an invalid, who awoke and found
her room hooded with water. Several
persons were injured in the flood
while attempting to recover the bodies
of the two men suffocated in the tun-
mel. The dead:
Michael Barry, shaft superintendent
of the Illinois Tunnel company; over
come by gas.
Patrick Barry, master mechanic for
the tunnel company; overcome by gas.
Mrs Lottie Hamlin.
So great was the force of water that
escaped from the broken main that all
business houses from Sixteenth street
to Twentieth street and those on La
Sale street were flooded. The tracks
of the Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern railway, between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets were undermined.

burg, the Moscow & Kazan and the
Moscow & Archangel railroads.
celebration of the issuance of the
imperial manifesto still continues at 3
o'clock this morning in many streets
or the city, where crowds are singing
the national hymn, cheering for the
emperor and shouting themselves
hoarse. The restaurants and cafes
were closed at 2 o'clock, disgorging
their crowds, which had been drinking
and making merry for hours around
the tables to augment the demonstra-
ton in the thoroughfares. The Cos.
sack patrols were utterly discounted
and COMPOUNDED and were wholly at a
loss to understand the meaning of the
demonstration or why the crowds
were singing God Save the EN-
perer," Russia's magnificent national
anthem, instead of the "Marseillaise. !"
The people displayed the utmost
good humor toward the Cossacks.
They surrounded their horses and
their perplexed riders, shouting, You
can go home now. We no longer need
you. We have liberty"
The crowds babe the Cossacks to
doff their caps in honor of the con-
stitutiOn. After o'clock the patrols
were withdrawn from the streets,
which were left in charge of the ordi-
nary night force of policemen.
