Certainly. If prolificness is a merit Guy
Boothby was one of the leading novelists
of his generation. Books from his pen ap-
peared with bewildering frequency, and
among English authors it has been u stand
ing joke that he invented a machine by
which he turned them out. But, what is
more TO the purpose, they all sold well.
The critics sneered and superior persons
jeered. but the public read Boothby's novels
eagerly and were always ready for more.
His first success was in 1891 with I'm
Strange Company" in which he introduced
the character of DR.. Nikola. This myster-
Gus person proved so attractive that he was
the principal character in various other
novels by Boothby. his final appearance
being in 1901 in Farewell. Nikola."
Mr. Boothby was born in Adelaide in
1867. In 1891 he crossed Australia from
north to south. Afterward he went TO
England, and began his successful career
as a novel writer.

BARRED FROM THE MAILS.
Fraud Order Against an Alleged Loan
Company Of Omaha.

Another thrifty citizen with scheme has
been apprehended through the efforts Of the
Post Office Department, and today a fraud
order was issued against Henry De Lacey
and the United States Investment and
Brokerage Company of Omaha, Neb. Mr..
De Lacey, 1t appears from the evidence in
the case. recently organized a company
which advertised its ability and willingness
to loan money to the amount of $4,000, 600.
The company was not totally devoid of
sentiment and offered to loan on reasonably
good security When an application for
loan was received the applicant would be
informed that 1t would be necessary to
make an investigation Of the security"
To defray the expense of this 'investiga-
ton the applicant was required to ad-
vance an amount equal to l per cent of
the proposed loan. Mr.. De Lacey has con-
fessed to a post office inspector that the
company never intended to loan money, and
wanted only the 1 per cent cash from the
applicant. He has even agreed to give the
name of the capitalist" who advanced the
Capital for the company, said capital
amounting to just $3.50, provided the state
authorities at Council Bluffs. where he was
arrested. will turn him over to the federal
authorities at Omaha.

CONDITIONS IMPROVED.
Temporary Police Court Building Made
More Comfortable.

Conditions at the new quarters OF the
Police Court in the old bureau of statistics
building on 18th street were much improved
today over what they were yesterday. AS
the officers and others who have occasion
to use the court became more familiar with
the location of the various offices and court
rooms, they were less confused themselves
and this resulted In a help to others. There
also were fewer prisoners to come before
the court, which caused less crowded con-
ditions In the cells and In the court rooms
The business was dispatched In good order
today.
AS a result of the visit of Commissioner
Mcfarland to the building yesterday and
his talk with the Engineer Commissioner
afterward, some improvements were noted
this morning which were generally appre-
ciated around the court and which resulted
In praise for the president of the Board of
Commissioners. In the cells, where the lack
of ventilation was so apparent yesterday,
there was no repetition of the suffering
among the prisoners. In the back of each
of the cells. which had been boarded I'D
tightly before, were placed iron bars in
stead of the tight boards. allowing
much better ventilation and therefore less
heat in the cells This aided the prisoners
much. The number of prisoners too dwin-
died from seventy yesterday to twenty-six
today, resulting In more comfort to all con-
cerned
Carpenters will be employed around the
court for the remainder of the week In
making changes as they are found to be
needed.

MORE CASES TODAY
INCREASE REPORTED IN TYPHOID
FEVER.

With only two and one-half days of the
present fiscal and calendar week gone at
noon today. the health office records of the
typhoid fever epidemic already show an
average increase per day of more than nine
cases. Twenty-seven new cases were re-
ported up to noon today. twenty-one Of
them yesterday and six this morning. Yes
terday's reports were considered as embrac-
ing both Sunday and Monday. These added
to the number of cases of typhoid prevail
ing at the end of the last fiscal week. on
Saturday, make total OF 1913 cases
ported up to noon today. Each hospital in
the city has it's quota of patients, some of
them so many that the establishment of
fever wards is a possibility.
OF the number in hospitals the physicians
at Freedmen's Hospital stated that they
had twenty cases of typhoid fever under
treatment this morning. OF this number
only eight were reported to the health Of
flee from the hospital since July l. so that,
If the remaining twelve added to the
previous total the health department
records. it would seem that there are al
ready more than 200 cases of typhoid under
treatment in the city today. On August 8
last year there were 145 cases. Since July
! this year there have been twenty-one
deaths from typhoid. During the same
period in 1904 there were eighteen fatalities
OF the 200 or more cases in the city the
health office typhoid map showed this
morning that seven of the afflicted ones are
i'll Washington barracks. There are thirty
cases under treatment in Providence Hos
pital This same map was taken as an IL
lustration by Health Officer Woodward of
the strength of the theory that all, or near
~ all, of the typhoid fever in the city Is
due to the Potomac water, used for drink
ing purposes, or for cleansing purposes, so
that the germs it carries can be communi-
Gated to milk and other articles of food or
drink. The most striking example specified
was St Elizabeth's Asylum for the Insane.

PARIS INTERESTED
In Outcome of the Peace Deliberations
at Portsmouth.

PARIS, August s.-Diplomatists and gov
eminent officials are manifesting the great
est interest relative to the outcome Of the
peace conference. The recent pessimism
has almost entirely disappeared. and feel
ing of confidence reigns that the negotfat-
ors and the wisdom of the governments
concerned will overcome all difficulties and
that the conference will eventuate in a sat
isfactory arrangement.
The buoyant tendency of the bourse.
where Russian securities are very firm.
shows that this view Is also prevalent In
commercial circles.
The newspapers point out as a happy
augury that France and Great Britain. the
allies of the respective belligerents, are
celebrating the attainment Of a better re-
lationship in town Of the same name as
that In which the peace conference will
take place. 1t is hoped that the cordially
displayed during the visit Of the French
fleet to Portsmouth will result In strong In
fuences being brought to bear on the Rus
sian and Japanese governments In favor OF
moderation. Thus the probability will be
increased that President Roosevelts ini-
tiative will result in the declaration Of a
dignfied peace, without hurting the self
respect of either belligerent.
