A Curious Mexican Custom.

If you were a child of sunny Mexi-
co, and your brother or sister fell ill
with smallpox or any other conta-
gious disease, what do you suppose
they would do with you? No less
foolish thing than to put you and all
the other children Of the family to
bed with the one having the disease.
The idea is that they may all catch
the disease at once, and be treated
for it in it's earliest stage, not to
mention that the cost of medicine is
less than if the children were affect
ed at different times.

died by Uncle Sam.
Ashland, Wis, July 13.-One hun
dred and fifty members of the State
yesterday for a two-days' session. Ad-
dresses were made by President
Pratt and others, and an address of
welcome was made by George f. Mer-
rill Of Ashland, and a response by f.
J, Carr of Hudson
The annual address of the president
called attention to the legislation
passed with the approval of the asso-
citation, including a bill limiting the
time in which action can be brought
to recover money paid on forged
checks, to year, a law making it a
criminal offense to make false state
ments to secure credit, and the
amendment of the warehouse law.
The secretary's report shows a to-
tai of 318 banks in the association,
an increase of so in one year.
An address was made by w. A.
Lane of the American Surety associa-
ton, urging the state association to
take action towards endorsing the
position of the American Banking as
ISOLATION to capture the money order
business now done by the postoffices
and express companies. Out of
$500, 100000 of business done by the
postOffices last year the government
cleared 100000, and the banks will
try to get this. Backed by the
American Trust company it is likely
that some action will be taken.

JAPAN IS FURIOUS.
All Newspapers Denounee the Terms
of Peace.

Toxic, Sept, L. - A remarkable alb
senee of rejoicing is one of the most
striking features attendant uIpn the
receipt OF the news of practical con-
clusion Of peace, The kind OF recep-
tion that awaits definite news will de.
pend entirely upon the nature Of the
terms. II is generally feared that ex-
tensive concessi,ns have been made by
Japan. 1t has been generally expected
by the public and hoped that there
would be a rupture at Portsmouth, in
view Of what was termed Russia's ob'
durscy in refusing the payment Of in-
demnity,
The Jili says this morning: "An
agreement arrived at without rupture
can only mean that great concessions
have been made by our plenioptenti.
aries. A peace concluded upon such
terms can never satisfy the nation" !"
The Mainichi says: 1--WE are disap-
pointed. We only hoped there would
be suspension of the peace confer
ence. 1t is impossible under the cir
cumstances to conclude an honorable
peace. The fruits of our arms ave
been lost by weak diplomacy. Japan

been defeated in the conference cham.
ber."
The Michinichi says; ''we feel SUR
prised and wonder how peace could
have been concluded when everything
indicated the impossiility of making
Russia accept the vital demands of ouI
terms. In the absence OF official con-
firmation of the terms, il is impossible
to form final opinion, but the indica'
tions are that nothing will insure peace
with terms that are honorable" !"
The minor papers are generally angry
and say that a peace obtained upon the
terms reported is "a humiliating one.

Awful RaVages OF yellow FeVer IN
Honduras.
San Pedro, Cal, Sept. 2. - Spanish
Honduras is devastated by the most
terrible scourge of yellow fever the
country has ever known. The out
break is the first for nearly ten years.
Three towns have been devastated and
almost destroyed by the fever, which
has been raging there since May.
1t originally started in Belize, Brit
ish Honduras, where many prominent
residents were victims. Thence it
spread to Puerto Cortez, Cholomo and
San Pedro. In all these towns the raw
ages have been frightful. In Puerto
Cortez every non-immune citizen has
died, and the only ones left are those
who cannot take the fever.
The epidemic, having no more vic.
Tins there, has gone up country over
the railway lines, and is now raging
throughout a large part Of interior
Spanish HonduTsa.
Trade is stagnated. I'll ere is no one
