SATURDAY. at Oyster Bay.

There is nothing but praise on all sides
for the admirable management of the first
encounter of the peace ENJOYS at oyster
Bay and for the bearing and words or the
President on that occasion 1t is douot-
less true that there were some hypercrltlcal
Americans and probably many more Euro
peans who looked to see what In the YER
nacular Is termed bad break on the part
of somebody, some breach OF diplomatic
etiquette some slight infraction OF the ruieS
of policy. Just why this should have been
regarded as possible it Is really difficult 10
know Perhaps behind the thought lurked
Il wish in paternal relation However that
may be. the presentation of the ENJOYS was
accomplished in admirable form. In the pest
OF diplomatic good order and with neat
ness and dispatch" that must impress Eu-
rope with the adaptability OF the American
officials to meet even the most novel condi-
tion.
Judging from the descriptions of the event
the meeting on the Mayfower was an au-
sptcious beginning for the peace making
work of the ENJOYS The introductions were
accomplished with good grace. and in
very few minutes the President had suf-
fused the somewhat formal atmosphere with
the quality of his breezy personality. He
had put every man at his ease. He had ar
ranged the ENJOYS at table with excellent
care to prevent a difficult situation. He
had given the lesser attaches a topic for
lively and friendly converse ton. And the
occasion reached a climax of propitous ef-
feet when the President proposed his toast
to the sovereigns and peoples of the nations
there represented, and expressed hope for
the arrangement of a lasting peace.
1t is easy to find in the reports of the oc-
casion signs that the ENJOYS were deeply
impressed with the Presidents sincere de-
sire for peace and with his wholesome quail
tiles 1t may be questioned whether at any
other apitaI-conceding for the nOnce that
oyster Bay is the seat of government-they
could have gained quite the same impress
sion of a hearty hospitality. of simple
Vet polite welcome, and of plain evidence
outside the ship of rouslng public curl
osity that. whatever the enterprise of indi-
viduals. did not go beyond the bounds of
good taste and respect. 1t was. taken alto
gether, a memorable episode, and II is be-
ing today interpreted abroad in terms or
a successful outcome of the Portsmouth
conference.

Home Staying and Typhoid.

1t Is asked, Why stay in Washington
while there is a typhoid outbreak? Why
not. during the prevalence of the disease
here, go to some place where there Is no
fever. where the water is pure, where the
percentage of danger Is at a minimum?
That sounds well, and is good reasoning for
those who can get away to an absolutely
safe place for the summer. But such places
are not numerous. easy TO reach, or
cheap for the sojourner. And there are
thousands OF people who could not go to
the cheapest, nearest resort for the length
of time necessary for complete avoidance
of the local fever danger. They are bound
to Washington by unbreakable ties.
Between those who must stay and those
who can go to assured safety there Is a
very large class that must go, if at all, to
some nearby place where the rates are low.
For such as these there is no better ad-
vice than that given to every summer So
journer away from ONE at any time: Be
sure that the water is good there as else
where. Do not think 1t is pure. free from
bacteria. because 1t Is clear or because 1t
comes from a we'll instead of from a river.
Many typhoid cases are contracted from
perfectly clear water. and many more have
come from well waters. 1t all depends upon
where those waters come from to get into
the well. and what they hold in that at
tractive limpidity that suggests purity.
There Is this assurance for the stayat-
home-he can, IL he WILL make sure OF
drinking pure water so long he is in his
own home, or in a well-cOnducted boarding
house. He can give himself. especially in his
own house, the most reliable guarantee
against infection. whereas at a summer re-
sort he is dependent upon the circumstances
that surround him and the assurances Of
proprietors.
So staying at home has Its advantages,
even while the fever prevails. There is no
danger in the actual presence of the fever
Itself within the city. 1t is not of the ma
ture of smallpox. which can be taken by
contact" nor even of yellow fever, which
must be transmitted by specific insect.
So 1t Is not the disease within the limits of
the community. severed as 1T Is. but the
fever out of town. up In the watershed,
that endangers the health of residents.
Thus flight is not sure means of avoid
ance, and If the demonstrating householder
will but follow the law OF common pru-
dence, which will cost him nothing In obedl-
ence, there is not the least danger here in
Washington even while the reports show
rapid increase of the sickness.

Peace and a Fog Bank.

The early experience with fog bank will
do the peace ENJOYS no harm. There Will
be other times when they are unable to
see their way ahead. But, eventually, as
in this case. the fog will lift and the going
be resumed. There should be no hurry
Arriving at Portsmouth a day late Will
throw nobody out. Turning out a peace
treaty a few weeks beyond the time of pub
lie expectation would find the world still
waiting for 1t. Never mind about the belli-
cOse tone of certain St Petersburg news
papers. Lose no sleep over the Impotence
of Linevitch to get at Oyama. Be not dis
turbed by rumOrs mat peace is impossible
The era of journalistic speculation has be-
gun, and nobody should begrudge writer's
of fancy and alertness their opportunity
But keep in mind the Presidents toast,
drunk standing aboard the Mayfower, and
believe that peace will result from these
negotiations.

FRENCH pussuN scHUyE,
Government Life Insurance = HafA
Out In Annu1ties 10 Heof
Subscribers.

Washingt0n.-For more than half Q
century the French government has
been experimenting with schemes for
establishing old-age pensions, the first
act having been passed June Is, 1850,
says United States Consul General
John X. 0owdy In . report from Paris
to the department Of commerce and
labor. The plan then tried was not
profitable, for the government allowed
investors five per cent, which was
more than 1t could itself get, and the
rate Of interest had to be reduced.
Shortly after the war with Germany
lin 1879 the number of depositors
had greatly increased, and in 1882
there was deficit of SS,4OO.OOO. To
make up this the government In 1884
made over to the Caisse des Retraites
a sum of S5o,s74,4OO In government
stock, the interest ON which--with a
small annual grant-amomting in all
to $2,515,O00, would. 1t was calculated.
meet past and future losses.
In 1895 the act at present in force
was passed, but the question Ii still
one that gives the minister of finance
much anxiety, and 1t Is not unlikely
that some future changes will be
made.
At the present time deposits are re-
ceived from any person, regardless Of
age, but the amount may not exceed
500 francs (S96.5O) In the course Of .
year. An account may be opened for
child Of three years Of age; q mar
ried woman may deposit money with
out her husbands consent.
At any age between so and IS (or
earlier in case of permanent disabil-
ity to work. the deposition may claim
his annuity, which is calculated &C.
cording to the amount Of his deposit
and interest and the probabilities Of
life, but the annuity may not exceed
1900 francs ($231.6O). An annuity not
exceeding $50 francs ($69.60) is moi
