Pestilenee in Past Centuries.
The decrease in the death rate of
great cities during the last few years
can only be appreciated by comparison
with similar statistics in the past In
the twelfth century not less than If
teen epidemics of disease and many
fsnines carried on the people of Eng.
land. The thirteenth century saw
twenty plaques and nineteen famines,
while the fourteenth had a black rec.
ord of disease.
In fS4S the black plague" or "black
death" which was brought into the
country from the east, caused the
death OF 100000 persons In London
alone, while in Europe altogether 25,-
100000 fell victims to its rayages. In
1885 the sweating sickness" appeared
in England, causing great destruction
OF human life. 1t reappeared at vari-
Gus intervals for century thereafter.
The last terrible visitation of the
plague in England was in 1664-lG66,
by which 100000 lives were lost in
London alone. This epidemic was fol-
lowed by the great fire of 1866, which
destroyed 10000 houses, including all
the most densely populated portions
OF the city. The rebuilding of london
with some regard to sanitary laws ap.
pears to have put the first check on
the epidemic diseases that had pre-.
viously devastated its population

Living on Simple Food.

The statement that man can exist
on III kilos (31-3 pounds) of rye
bread consumed daily is, of course,
purely theoretical, inasmuch as no one
is able to live on rye bread alone for
a length of time. But II the bread is
made more palatable by the addition
of butter, sausages, or the like, and If
some other food is substituted every
day for part Of the bread. such a bev.
erage as warm coffee being also con.
sumed, then the statement expresses

DETECTIVES
WORK HARD
Still Probing the Various
Eeeps of Stanford
Mystery.

Yesterday the San Francisco detec-
tivAs continued their independent ex-
animation into the circumstances sur
rounding the death of Mrs. Stanford,
but with what result, of course, no one
not in their confidence can say. 1t IS
however, pretty definitely settled that
the detectives will return to San Fran
cisco on the Alameda Wednesday. and
it is said that they will take with them
the balance of the bottle of bicarbon-
ate of soda from which Mrs. Stanford
is believed to have taken dose On the
night of her death for further analysis
by expert chemists on the coast.
The detectives, it is believed. are still
moving along the line that it is hoped
will lead them TO the conclusion that
Mrs. Stanford was not poisoned at an
and it must be admitted that there Is
much in the later developments. en-
tireIy apart from what they may nave
discovered. to point to that conclusion
AS 10 their departure for San Fran
cisco, that seems to be pretty dehnlte-
ly determined upon. Whether Deputy
Sheriff Rawlins will go with them was
said last night to be undecided as yet
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-03-14

The detectives were said to have been
engaged yesterday in getting medical
views as to the cause of Mrs. Stan
ford's death. and DR.. Jordan was quot
ed last night as having said that he
would like to discredit the suicide
theory at all hazards, and the theory
that Mrs Stanford had been murdered
also. if the thing was possible. AS Dr.
have been pretty well known ever since
he has been in town. it is not strange
that he should have thus expressed
himself. There are more people than
DR.. Jordan who are coming to believe
that Mrs. Stanford was rather a victim
of her fears than of any poisoner.
BACK TO STRYCHNINE.
"AlI theories in the Stanford case
must come back to the one involved in
the bottle of bicarbonate OF soda"
said DR.. C B. Wood yesterday.
There was strychnine in that bottle.
IT was a foreign substance and had no
reason for being there. Therefore. it
must have been placed there. 1t was
nIaced there by no ignorant person.
but by one we'll versed in poisons,
knowing the amount it would take to
make a fatal dose. and its probable er-
feet on a woman of Mrs. Stanford
age. The strychnine was distributed
evenly all through the bottle Of bicar-
Donate of soda.
II do not believe it was inserted
through any mistake of the druggist
All bottles containing poisons are gen
orally labeled with red on which a
skull and cross bones appears These
bottles are generally in place in q
drug store by themselves and it IS
hardly possible a mistake could be
made.
Another thing with ell these the7-
ries about her death is that by putting
up certain conditions I could pretty
we'll substantiate rea IONS that she died
of measles. Therefore I say that al
theories must go back to that bottle
of bicarbonate of soda and the fact
that strychnine was in it without rea>
son.
