Bubonic Plague.

San Francisco is dealing in the right
way with the present outbreak of the
bubonic plague. Five years ago, when
cases Of this terrible disease occurred
in San Francisco, there was, for time
at least a disposition to conceal and
minimize the epidemic; but experience
soon showed, as has been. proven en-
lhatically in yellow fever visitations
in the south, that the way to fight dis
ease is to fight it openly, and that the
way to avoid panic is to publish hon.
est and complete reports, says the
Outlook. DR.. Rupert Blue, of the
United States public health service,
is in charge of the present fight with
the plague, and is vigorously enforcing
modern, scientific methods. While the
ratio of deaths to cases is absolutely
large, it Is less than has been noted
in epidemics elsewhere, and the sys-
tenn of serum injection is regarded as
of value. The terrible mortality usu-
ally attendant upon bubonic plague is
offset in some measure by the fact
that its spread is slow. 1t is believed
that infection is largely caused by
rats, and that from them it is spread
in many cases by fleas, which carry
the germs of the disease. Every effort
is being made to extirpate the plague
bearing vermin. Twelve government
surgeons, IL San Francisco physicians,
40 sanitary inspectors, and a large
force of laborers are working with sci.

Mexico's Indian Women.

The beauty Of Indian women is one
of the charms of Mexico. In the cap
ital, where the Indian has degen-
Grated through poverty and mental
service it is less to be remarked than
in the smaller towns and in the coun-
try. But the beautiful faces one takes
In memory away from Mexico are
those of Indian women. Fine eyes
are universal, and, what one hardly ex-
poets, the features, according to eau
casian standards - broad brows,
straight noses, well-formed mouths
and chins full but not gross or heavy.
The expression is very generally intel
ligent, and often one is struck, both in
Indian men and women, with the no
bility and refinement of the coun-
tenance. One frequently sees types
among the poems that seem to belong
to some highly civilized ancient caste
an Egyptian priest Of royal blood, a
Roman centurian, an Aztec emperor.
The women are gently lovely where
they are beautiful, and the men at
their best in carriage, in manners and
in countenance are strikingly like the
very advanced product of civilization.

states that the sun spots, which he
calculated are twelve times the size
of the earth, and which will reach
the solar meridian about the middle
of November, are likely to lead to
violent magnetic disturbances, re-
sulting in storms, floods, volcanic
eruptions and earthquakes. The
warning has attracted attention from
the fact that former predictions by
Signor Alfani have been realized.

SAD TRAGEDY IN The TOMBS
FORMER ITALIAN ARMY OFFICER
HURLS HIMSELF TO DEATH.
Deserted to Marry, Failed to Earn
Living in West and Was Refused
Aid by Brother.

New York, Nov. 11-Giovani Ce
Chichicia, who, until he was COM
PEELED to choose between love and
duty, was lieutenant in the Italian
army, committed suicide in the Tombs
Sunday. His Imprisonment had been
brought about by his brother Luigi, a
banker of this city. The latter be-
lieved Giovanni insane.
According to the police records, he
fell in love in Italy, and, unable as an
army officer to support his wife as he
wished, deserted and sought his for
tune as cowboy in the American
west. The venture was not a success
and finally, leaving his wife in their
new home, he came to New York to
get fresh start. Again unsuccessful
and penniless, he asked financial aid
of his brother. The meeting of the
brothers was not amicable and at
second interview Giovanni was alleged
to have peremptorily demanded first
$1,000 and then $4,000 from the
banker. He exhibited a revolver and,
it was charged, threatened his broth
er's life. The banker wished to have
Giovanni detained as insane, but the
court would not entertain this charge
and the former soldier was held for
trial on charge of carrying concealed
weapons. In the Tombs Giovanni be-
came respondent, complained bitterly
Of former friends and constantly
grieved for his girl wife, left alone in
the west.
When the doors were opened to per-
init the prisoners to go to the yard for
their daily exercise Sunday, Giovanni,
who occupied cell on the third tier,
stepped quickly out upon the balcony,
sprang upon the guard rail and dove
headforemost from the staging.

Classics in the Modern School.

My subject raises two questions, one
Of which depends on the other: 1.
Should the classic form part of mod
ern education? 2. If so, what parts
1t IS not safe to assume the an
swer yes to the first question, because
we are so often urged to do away with
the classics on the ground that to
study them is useless; l must, there
writes DR.. Rouse, headmaster of Perse
school, Cambridge, in the National Re-
view. What is meant by useless?
Some persons mean that which cannot
be turned to direct account in wage
earning. That view is the common
view of the parents of our boys, and it
underlies most of the criticisms of ed
ucstion which we read in the press.
Take the ideal, which seems to be
dearest to the heart of the public, to
sit on an Office stool for 40 years and
then have pension; for such life
nearly every study is useless in the
accepted sense. OF what use to the
government clerk are history, litera-
ture, algebra, Euclid, Scripture, ge-
ography-this we know on high au-
thority is useless also to the diplo-
mat and the ambassador-not to men
ton French, German, Latin or Greek?
To be consistent boy ought to spend
all his time on the three Rs, precis,
and tots, and his parents would expect
him to save five years and be ready at
IL years of age for the civil service
But l need say no more. In its ex
IRENE, this wage-earning fallacy is
ridiculous; it is, however, the hardest
of our tasks to convince the people at
large that this is so.

MUST RETAIN PHILIPPINES
CONGRESSMAN M'kINNEY TELLS
OF THEIR GREAT WEALTH.
bacco Should Be Removed
at Once.

San Francisco, Nov. 9.-After an ex-
tended tour of the orient, Philippines
and Hawaii, Congressman James Nc
Kinney, from the Rock Island district,
Illinois, returned to this city Friday
on the steamer Persia, and will pro-
coed east at once.
AS a member of the territorial COM
mittee which left here last June, Con-
gresham Mckinney visited Honolulu
and later the Philippines, where an
exhaustive study of conditions was
made. According to the congressman,
we must never entertain any idea of
letting the islands go. He said:
THE resources of the islands are
unbounded. Great coal, copper and
gold deposits have been found and
even greater wealth seems in store
for the United States in other re-
spects. The immense timber hold
ings, for instance.
There is one thing" he added,
that must be done quickly for the
Philippines if America would better
conditions there, and that is to re-
move the revenue on sugar and to-
bacco."
At Honolulu, Congressman McKin-
ney declared, shipping conditions
should be more encouraged, although
prosperity was to be found on all
sides. While proceeding to Hong
kong the congressman experienced
terrible typhoon while passenger on
the steamer Kow Loon. During his
stay in Japan he was shown every
courtesy and says that he failed to no.
tice any belligerent attitude on the
part of the Japanese.
Other arrivals from the orient on
the Persia were American Consul ].
Boyd from Shanghai, and ]. H. Sharp,
stationed at Kobe, apan.

SECRETARY CONTIGUOUS ENER.
GIES NOW BEING DIRECTED
TO THAT END.
Strong Attempts will be Made to Move
the Grain Crops. Arrangements
Being Made to Place Trade on a
Normal Basis.

Washington, Nov. 13.-While there
is an increasing degree of confidence
among the officials of the treasury
that the situation in the monetary
world is soon to improve materially,
they are not prepared to demonstrate
conclusively that they have positive
assurances to that effect.
Secretary Cortelyou is in constant
communication with the leading
bankers and leading financiers East
and West and he announced that he
is exerting all the influence he can
bring to bear to induce banks in New
York to forward cash to the West in:
response to the requests of the West
ern banks that their acquisitions be
honored out of their reserve on de-
posit in New York.
The secretary believes that condi
lions have so greatly improved that
the New York banks holding cash as
the central reserve agents of the Wes-
tern banks should be able to meet re-
quests for cash payments.
This is what the secretary is urging
shall be done and he is confident that
his wishes in this respect will be met
by the central reserve banks in New
York and that the banks in the Wes-
tern centers where the tightness of
money is severely felt will be helped
out from this time forward. 1t is in
timated that the secretary has other
plans for helping to improve the stu
alton, but he declines to discuss the
subject or to say in advance when he
can be expected to make public the
details of any plans which he may
evolve to that end.
Secretary Cortelyou said on leaving
the cabinet meeting that financial
matters had not been considered dur
ing the session, but that the out
look was steadily improving. The
situation was such in New York that
relief was now being extended quite
freely to the Middle West, particular
ly to ST. Louis.
The office of controller of the cur
rency is busy getting out national
bank notes in response to the requests
of banks that are increasing their is
ue up to full amounts for which they
are qualified to issue.
This is contributing much to re-
lieve the shortage of currency.

chicken and very small duck on the
table and the woman, pausing with

which will you take, chicken or duck"
Duck piped Johnny. But the mother

have duck, my dear. Take your

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Nov. 12.-Al-

serve one year in the penitentiary for
bigamy. He acknowledged that he
had been married often, but thought
he had always waited long enough for
the preceding wife to get divorce be-
fore he married the next one. He did
not inquire about the divorce, but took
it for granted that one would be OBJ
tanned.
A sister-in-law with whom he
eloped, was the latest venture in mat
rimony undertaken by Bates. He was
arrested few days ago on a house
boat in the Mississippi river.
