The Situation at New Orleans.

However diplomatic the messages
sent out by the health authorities in
New Orleans, ii is not to be doubted
that the city is in Il very bad way. and
that 1t was high time that the federal
authorities took control of the yellow
fever situation. Heroic remedies will
now be resorted to. and one consider
alton will be the stamping out as soon
as possible of this terrible disease.
Trade will be injured and the city hurt
in many ways, but just now the city's
health is more important than any
other consideration, and Surgeon Cen
cral Wyman can be depended upon to
leave nothing undone in carrying out
the Presidents instructions.
Now that the national officers are
leading the fight against the epidemic.
the people of the stricken city will take
greater heart and renewed hope of inn
munity will be given to the surround
ing sections. Moreover, there is no
longer any danger of n serious clash
between Louisiana and the neighboring
state of Mississippi, as was for a time
threatened, as a result of the hot head
edness of the latter states governor.
The whole country is interested in the
fight against the yellow plague. and
will earnestly hope for an early sup
preston of the epidemic which appear
ed so unexpectedly and has proven so
to human life.

Sportsmen in the woods in numbers

gard to the possibilities of accidental

experience has proved that it is only
too true. Some happy mortals enter

The Evening Newspaper

recent writer in Printers Ink makes the statement
that the evening newspapers has arrved and in proof
thereof cites instances in many cities where the evenng
press has heard the bell that strikes the summons"
1t is incontestbe fact that the evening newspaper
is the last and best product in the evolution of the est
The of its supremacy through trite will bear
repetition
Every invention that facilitates the transmission of the

caterer. Improved service makes possible to print the
news, the world over the day it happens.
Especially is this true to the foreign fend. The
ier time of the East gives the evening paper the first
chance at the happenings the other side of the world
And thus is that the revolution of the earth aid the
ing press. The stars in their fgfht for it.
When the final editions of the evening journals are
printed little remains for the morning paper to
print the story at greater length.
But these advantages of the evening press supple
mented by many others Chief are these:
The morning paper is necessarily shut up to small
clientele The business man who gets down town late
the professional, is able to read the morning
paper. The entire working class-the bulk of the popu
ation-goes to its work before the morning newspaper
arrives.
Also
Aside from few women of leisure housewives too
busily employed at the morning hour to read news
paper. This is the weak spot in the morning paper
scheme of things. Women the greatest readers OF
advertisements
The after supper hour is the leisure hour hour of all
the people That is why the evening paper goes to the
door step.
IT, in addition to these advantages the evening journal
is Independent in politics there is for limited
circulation The broad bipartisan paper, filled with
news of interest to all the family, wins its way.
The only chance at the leisure hour afforded to the
morning paper is Sunday morning. Working people
all these have Sunday breathing spell. Many morn

DR.. Ost|er'S Theory

Much is being said just concerning the theory adj
vanced by Dr. William Ostler who says that men over 40
are comparatively useless to society and that 90
should be chloroformed
Either DR.. Ostler is crank or he spoke in jest.
The value to society of 40 needs no argu-
ment And if the life of of 60 has been good it
should be extended rather than shortened.
1t all depends on the man.
Some valuable to the world at GO than at
49, And the man who useful his generation at 40 will
be useful after he is sixty.
Possibly DR.. Ostler is materalist who measures men
by their physical rather than their mental and spiritual
possessions and ability.
In that finer judg men which through experience
few men are mature before they forty
In the faculty of sharpened penetratve brain most men
at 40 are still in process of making.
In the ripenng of all the powers of mind and soul the
man under 40 is yet in the growth stage.
Take out of the worlds achievements, those made by
the impact of the 40 and you leave humanity
poor indeed.
Shakespeare in his 'Seven Ages" has admirably out
lined the task adapted to each age of mans life 1t all
depends the man-upon the quality of his soul sufas
to how well the separate task is done.
AS to choroforming the over GO, they do it differ

Dr. Sstlers scheme is not essentially different from
that of Central Africa.

OF all the partisan. crooked deals
ever handed out by crooked bunch
of baseball thieves, that given to
Clyde Williams in Chicago last week
by two members of the national board
certainly is the limit Such barefaced,
fraudulent steals should bring the
blush of shame to the fact of every
honest baseball man in the country.
1t is an everlasting blot and stain on
that organization, which has, in the
past. maintained itself to be body
of intelligent, honorable business men
working for the good of the game.
o o o
The work of the petty Lucas is
small compared with the action of
Secretary Farrell and George Tebeau.
1t was to be expected of Lucas that,
thrown out of his job-his only
means of livelihood taken away from
him-he would try every desperate
scheme to force himself into another
graft.
But that members of the national
board would stoop to the little Lucas
schemes of grating had appeared i'm
possible.
1t was impossible at the New York
meeting. where there were members
who held to some tenets of honor and
square dealing.
Q Q Q
But in Chicago it was Lucas
friend. Farrell, and George Tebeau,
one of the crookedest men that ever
broke into the baseball business, who
had charge of the deal.
These two men, members of the
national organization, held a secret
meeting to which Clyde Williams was
refused admission, and took in Lucas
to hear what he had to say.
o o O
What passed there can be as safe:
ly guessed as though a stenographic
report of the talk of the three con-
spirators was had.
The little Lucas just up and told"
Farrell and Tebeau where he stood.
He had been canned, fired out and
disgraced as a mighty baseball mag
nate. He had to have a job. To
throw him down at this time meant
that he would not be able to frame
up the suckers of his little bush
league on the coast. He knew he
couldn't get into Spokane. but an ad-
mission openly would mean ruin to
him in the four coast towns he had
framed up to pay his salary for this
year.
On the principle that 1--WE crooks
must stand together" Lucas asked
Farrell and Tebeau to save his job
for him by throwing aside the mask
of baseball justice and helping him

Owen Wister's ''Virginian" was
given at the Spokane theater last
night before the largest audience this
season.
The popularity of the novel is the
only reason given for the packed
house last night.
Dustin Farnum as "The Virginian''
is very good. He is well adopted for
the role of a hero. He is large, mus
cular, intelligent, with an unusual
amount of character in his face. He
works hard to display the part of
the hero at all times.
Second to Mr.. Farnum was Miss
Holmes as the Vermont school teach
er. She is a beautiful character and
gave all her cowboy admirers a taste
of what they called the Vermont
