Last Friday the steamer
Baltic landed more than a
thousand young ladies' in New
York, most of whom came
over from Europe for the ex-
press purpose OF finding a
husband. This is only one of
the many loads brought over
nowadays.
There Is no serious cause
for alarm Tor our girls-they
are charming and accomplish
ed-but il calls to mind that a
very large number OF our
prettiest and most accom-.
plished young ladies' from the
best families are becoming
old maids. The fault is
usually their own. They
want To start out on "a grander
scale than their parents have
reached, forgetting that every
young man must make his
own fortune. The father
who tries to make an excep'
tion with his son by ~''setting
him ap" in business usually
comes to grief. The young
lady who wants to marry d
man who has an established
ability must marry an ole
bachelor.
Miss Nora O'Brien, one o.
the new arrivals, seemed t.
have the right idea:

Fever.

Typhoid fever Is a prevent
able disease; so absolutely
preventable, indeed, that 1t
is no exaggeration to say that
somebody Is To blame for
every case that occurs, al.
though, so devious are the
ways by which the germ
travels from it's source to it,
destination IL Is often very
difficult to place the blame
where 1t belongs. It Is, broad
ly speaking, country disease;
that is, the first cases in an
epidemic ia a city are almost
always attributable to "a con
tamination of the milk-suppiy.
or Of the water.suppIy, at its
origin or along its course In
the country. After the dis.
ease has got'well under wayit
may be spread broadcast by
other means-flies, for ex-
ample.
In certain parts of the
country it usually prevails
more or less all the time Ii
the form OF isolated cases,
but in cities il often breaks
out in epidemic form. Apart
from the water or milk con.
tamination, typhoid fever is
not infrequently carried to
the city on salads and vegeta-
bles that are eaten raw.
The disease begins in from
one to two weeks after the in
fecting material has been
taken into the stomach. The
first symptoms are indefinite
headache, loss of appetite,
sometimes slight chilis, and q
general listleness and loss Of
stength. These symptoms
increase in severity for q
week, accompanied by steadily
rising fever, higher in thu
evening than in the morning
Disrrhoea is frequent; the
headache is often exceedingly
acute.
As the disease progresses
the physical forces are great
" depressed. The tongue ans
mouth are dry, there i ex
cessive thirst, and there maj
be delirium. In very sever
eases the patient lies on III,

RELLYS ARE BACK, HAPPY
Four Months in Europe For
Street Car Conductor and
Wife.

They returned this morn.
ing from Europe-the Kellys,
and Mrs. Charles M.
Kelly, Charles Kelly, street
car conductor.
They're back from a long
deferred honeymoon tour of
four months, happy and salts
fed and voluble.
"Had the time OF my life,"
Kelly said shortly after his
arrival. "But America for
me, every time. They're too
slow over there, even in Ire.
land, where l came from. l

mis- as it was IN my boyhood.
Since l came back l wouldn't
live in Ireland If they gave
me the whole island, including
the Blarney stone"
And that from a Kelly, IL
you please.
Kelly's training as a street
car conductor in Kansas City
had taught him how to notice
things. He sized up all
Europe in a few short, crisp
sentences.
Europe is so slow it'd kill
me in two years. France is
the most like America, but it's
not fast enough by a whole lot.
"a snail could beat a street
car in any country in Europe.
| walked and beat them every
time-that is, / went faster.
"Germany is prosperous,
but they take lite too easy.
England is on the bum.
They walk like dead ones
over there.
"Even dear old Ireland
can't hold a candle To this
country. You couldn't pull
me back there with a team Of
horses to livein tbatcountry.'

MISLEADING STATISTICS.
Only One-thIrd of Injuries TO Ball
Players Happen on Field.

How perfect absurdly the so-caIled com
pliers of statistics group many Of their
facts In recording the events Of a sea
son.
In the list of football fatalities and
injuries, for example, everything from
the falling of a stand to the running
away Of a pony was held responsible
for the killing of players. Out of the
total list OF deaths il was subsequently
ascertained only one-third were really
the result Of accidents on the field during
play
Now some one has compiled a list Of
fatalities due to baseball Here follow
a few which are utterly absurd under
the classification allotted to them. For
instance:
Butler, Peck. pitcher, killed by cars at
Jackson, Tenn, February 70.
Farr. Herbert, former star pitcher of
BelOit College, killed in mine accident at
Angle Point, Cal.
Frazer Ross, pitcher for Wisconsin
varsity team, accidentally killed by re-
vOlver in hands Of roommate. NOvem-
Der -.
Thomas. William. fell overheard while
en- route on steamer from Providence to
New York.
Peterson, William, killed by cars at
Springfield, Ohio.
Not one Of them due to baseball. The
public should pray 10 be delivered from
the statsJiCian running amuCk.

HOLDS PASTOR PRISONER.
Congregation Transfers Affection
and Assaults Old Preacher.

Binghamton. \. Y, Jan. Rev. Jo-
seph Pospech, pastor OF the S. 5. Cyril
Methodist Slavok Church, Of this city, IS
practically d prisoner in his parish house
on Clinton street. while members of his
congregation threaten him bodily vio-
Ience
The trouble grows out Of a European
trip taken by Father Pospech last sum
mer. During his absence a younger
priest was assigned 10 duty, and won the
hearts Of his paTishioners. On POspech's
return there was trouble. Bishop LUdden
declines 10 transfer him, and his parish
toner's have assaulted him. hurled bricks
through the parish house windows. and
broken up church services. Now the
parish house is an exclusive mansion.
No one is allowed in the yard, and
when a stranger approache- the house at
night all lights are Immediately ex-
tinguished. A state Of siege is main
tanned, and the interference Of the bishop
is expected tomorrow.

LEFT BABY DEAD IN CARRIAGE
Parents Had No Money for Funeral
Of Their Little Child.
Abandoned IL in Hope some One
Would Find and Bury the Infants

Second avenue and Ninety-ninth street on
the night of December l. are held IN the
House Of Detention as witnesses T5y order
Of Coroner Julius Hamburger, pending an
inquest on the baby's death. The case
turns out to be one of poverty and hard
luck. The story as told by Gassert and
his wife is believed by the coroner, and if
it can be corroborated by the police they
will be released.
Gassert says he lived with his wife, her
Hine-year-old boy by d former marriage,
and the child whose body was found in "a
tenement house at el53 Second avenue. up
to December 1. They had year of hard
luck and one misfortune followed fast on
another. The baby had been i'll and they
had no money for a physician or 10 get
proper nourishment for the child. Gassert
said he was awakened early on the morn
ing Of December 1 by his wife's cries.
She had discovered the baby dead be-
side her. Before he could stop her. she
had wrapped the child in a blanket and
run over TO the nearest drug store. The
druggist told her the child was dead.
They had no money, and dreaded send
ing the childs body to the moTgUe and
potteT's field
They decided finally 10 put the body
in the baby carriage and leave it in a
place where somebody who might bury
it would find it.

clared that the fact that Burr had not
been elected captain of the Harvard team
for next year had a great deal to do
with his decision 10 leave college.
Burr has no intention of leaving Har-

business in the West. and the thought Of
being elected captain of the 1907 eleven

POWDER TRUST FIGHT AGAIN
Government Contractors Charged
, with Selling Product Abroad.
Alleged That Combination Forces
Hfgh-priced Contracts from the
the Government.

The fight will be renewed this winter
against the smokeless powder trust,
known as the Experimentation
Smokeless Powder Company. which is
said TO be a holding concern for the
Marsden Company, T. l. Dupont. de
Nemours q Co. Of which Senator Du POnt
is president; the Lafiin-Rand Powder
Company, and the California Company.
II is alleged by those who are conducting
the opposition 10 the trust that. while
employed I'm the government service. Ad-
miral O. A. Converse and Lieut. Ber-
nadOu secured patents on the process
now used in making sm0keless powder,
and when the letters patent were issued
they transferred them u Charles A.
RLtter. who conveyed them 70 the Inter
national SmOkeIess Powder and Dyna-
mite Company These patents were capt.
taIized for 10000. and all competition
was destroyed. The trust not only sup
plies the Navy and War departments
with smokeless powder, but is engaged
ia securing large contracts with different
foreign countries.
The matter was called 10 the attention
OF the Department OF Justice last Oc-
tOber, and Judge Purdy, Acting Attorney
General, decided that the fac OF fraud
must be shown before any steps could be
taken against the officers named or the
trust be proceeded against.
10 is known that the officials Of the
trust have tried to get d contract with
Germany. and are planning 70 construct
a factory in Brazil. AS their capacity Is
not over 1900 pounds a day. the point is
made that In case OF war with any for
e!gn government that holds a contract
with the trust this government would
not have d supply Of powder, and its enc
mics would be supplied by the very con-
tractors who are upheld in a monopoly
here at home.
The trust is charged with sending in
Identical bids from three of its cOnstitu-
ent companies, and with making an

FAREWELL MESSAGE IN BOTTLE

sank in 1902, Comes to Light.

London. Jan. What some persons
suppose is the first news Of the loss of
the Allan Line steamer, Huronia. in Feb
ruary. 1902. was contained in a tightly
cOrked bottle, which fioated ashore at
Castle Rock. in the north of Ireland. In
the bottle was a piece of paper. on which
the following was legibly written: The
Huronia is sinking fast is top-heavy
and one side IS under W--.r. Goodbye
mother and sister.
Charles McFaH. Greaser''
Belief in the genuiness of the paper
seems to rest upon the ascertained fact
that there was a greaser of the name of
McFall on board the steamer His rela-
tives are being sought.
