A0YEW YORK.-1n the ONCE
~ OF DR.. Alvah H. Doty,
IN health oflcer of the port Of
ssxcX New York, at quarantine,
~v there IL big globe, such
w. as is used in the public
schools, that Is covered
with little tacks. Every one Of these
tacks indicates that at the place
where it is sticking there is to-day. or
was yesterday, case of the cholera,
the bubonic plague, or the yellow
fever. and DIR. Doty, the officials Of the
United States marine hospital service
in Washington and the army doctors
know all about every one Of those
cases, where 1t came from. how many
there are that are affected. whether 1t
Is mild case or a bad one, and ex-
actly what the health authorities In
those particular sections OF the world
are doing to combat It.
When the visitor to DIR. Doty's Of
fee hears the story those little lacks
tell he realizes what splendid sys-
tenn 1t is that guards the western
world from the Asiatic scourges, and
how impossible it almost Is for any of
those scourges ever to get foothold
in this country. But great and thorough
as is the work of American medical
authorities, they are ably seconded by
the work of the foreign departments,
and to-day every citizen Of every part
OF this country owes debt that can
never be paid to the splendid men of
Germany and Japan whose work holds
in check the spread Of the cholera and
the plague-one guarding the western
world and the other the eastern from
tier against the advance of the dis
ease.

Little whaIebone Now Taken.

The amount of whalebone taken an
nually does not now much exceed 25.-
900 pounds. The largest part Of this
is taken by the whales sailing out OF
ports on the Pacific coast. A few
years ago the amount taken was a.
much as 100000 pounds annually.

they do keep track OF It, and II is this
vigilance in prying into what's the
matter with our foreign neighbors that
has made this country the healthiest
and the best protected. from q stand
point OF sanitation. on the face OF this
earth. Now take this big globe that
Is covered with tacks, and look at
Port Said at the entrance of the Suex
canal. There is q telltale tack stuck
near that place, and that tack means
that somebody or some people out
there have the bubonic plague, and
that every ship that stops at that port
and then comes to America will have
to stand the closest of inspections to
show that nobody on board, or any
thing In her cargo, conceals the germ
that 10 responsible for the most hor-
rible disease, with the exception of
leprosy. the world has ever known.
sENTiNELs EVERYWHERE.
DIR. Doty has a sentinel on duty at
Port Said. and at every big port in the
world, and that sentinel's duty is to
keep a close watch on the situation
there and to watch every single ship
that passes on her way to American
waters. This sentinel Is not watch
ing for the plague and cholera only,
but he must keep record Of every
single case OF sickness, no matter how
mild or how harmless. SO far as in
lection is concerned. and make q re-
port In writing or by cable to DR..
Doty. This report reaches New York
weeks ahead of the arrival of the YES
sci that is being watched, and 1t is
then sent back to all the ports that
the vessel is likely to stop at on her
way to New York from Suez. At each
Of these ports an American health Of
ficer goes aboard and finds out how
that case Of sickness Is being treat
ed and the condition of the suspect.
The result of this vigilance Is that
when the ship gets to New York her
skipper learns within five minutes
after he drops anchor OF quarantine
that DIR. Doty knows more about the
health Of his crew and the condition
of his cargo than he does himself. He
has to tell DR.. Doty everything he
knows about that case Of sickness, and
when he gets through answering Ques-
tons, DR.. Doty knows exactly where
that case Of sickness probably orig
mated, and he knows how everybody
on board that ship is, even down to
colds and pains in the back. AS every
body knows, the cholera is prevalent
In Russia, and the map reproduced
here, which Is reproduction Of that
tell-tale globe at quarantine, shows
that 1t is not only in st. Petersburg
and Mini, Novgorod, but at various
other places as well.

THAW A BANKRUPT
REFEREE ACTS UNEXPECTEDLY.
SETTLEMENT PRETTY SOON.

PITTSBURG. Pa, August 12.-Harry K.
Thaw was formally adjudged bankrupt
at II o'clock today by Referee in Bank
ruptcy w. r. Blair. This action was
surprise to those interested in the case, as
United States Commissioner William I.
Lindsay had set August 81 as the date
for the adjudication. No explanation OF
the change of plans and this morning
action has been made, but it Is believed
here that Receiver Roger O'Mara's visit
to Thaw at Poughkeepsie yesterday may
have had something to do with today's
move OMara was hurriedly summoned
by Thaw Monday.
No hearing was held previous to the
entering of the formal order Of adtudtca-
ton, and Referee Blair had not an
nounced the date of the first meeting OF
Thaw's creditors.
Under the law this must be held not
sooner than ten days and within thirty
days. Referee Blair will probably an
nOunce the date for the meeting of cred
itorS tomorrow.
An effort will be made to bring Thaw
to Pittsburg for the first meeting of cred
itors, and unless District Attorney w. T.
Jerome of New York is able to prevent
his coming. it is believed Thaw will be In
Pittsburg within thirty days.
Thaw'S petition in bankruptcy was filed
August Z, and Roger O'Mara was named
as receiver. The petition sets forth that
Thaws liabilities are $453, 14O.43 and his

HERO OF MAINE" DIES
CHIEF BOATSWAIN FRANCIS E.
LARKIN PASSES AWAY.

Chief Boatswain Francis E. Larkin of
the navy, who was injured at the time
the battleship Maine was blown up In
the harbor of Havana in 1898, died at the
Government Hospital for the Insane last
Saturday, and was buried in Mount Peace
cemetery, in Philadelphia, with appropri-
ate services yesterday afternoon.
Chief Boatswain Larkin was born in
Pennsylvania in 1866, and was educated
at Girard College. After his graduation
he enlisted in the navy, and reached the
grade of boatswain in January, 1896. He
was serving in that capacity on the Maine
when that vessel was blown up. AL
though he was badly hurt in the explo-
sion. and his clothing torn to rags, he
worked all night in the captains gig as
Slstlng in the rescue of those of his COM
rades who were struggling in the water.
He was confined to the naval hospital at
Norfolk for several months as a result
of his injuries and exposure
In 1904 President Roosevelt commits
stoned MIN a chief boatswain, ranking as
ensign, and he was assigned to the new
battleship Rhode Island. He remained on
that vessel until last October when he
became afflicted with neurasthenia, neces-
stating his transfer to the Government
Hospital in this city, where he finally
passed away.

JERSEYS RAILROAD TAXES.
Schedule Of Second Glass Property
for 19O6-7 Filed at Trenton.

TRENTON, N. j., August 12.-The state
board of assessors today filed with the
state controller a schedule of assessments
against second-class railroad property for
the years 1906 and 1907. This property
was originally assessed by the loca, as
SCISSORS, but the law under which the
assessments were made was declared I'M
constitutional and law was passed last
winter providing that the state board of
assessors reassess the properties for the
back years Under the schedule filed the
assessments for 1906 aggregate 81 SAC, 600.
and for 1907, STA .0J3,000 as against $t6-
522 600 for 1905, when the state board last
did the work.
The taxes to be paid on these assess
ments which will be distributed to the
localities in which the property is situated
aggregate 81. $4,000 for 1906 and 81. $50,
600 for 1907. as against 81. 1876 900 for 1905
The falling off in the amount for 1907 is
duo to the decrease in the tax rate
throughout the state.

MRS. WEBB-DUKE GUILTY.
Convicted Of Defrauding Hotel With
Worthless Checks.

CHICAGO, August 12.-Mrs. Alice l.
Webb, divorced wife of Brodie L. Duke
millionaire tobacco manufacturer, was to.
day found guilty, of defrauding the Great
Northern Hotel by passing a worthless
check.
Motion for a new trial was made and
will be argued later. If not granted SEN
tence will then be passed by the court.
Judge Kersten's courtroom was crowded
when the verdict was returned.
CARRIED in black, Mrs. Webb was COM
posed and expressed confidence that the
verdict would be in her favor. Her plea
that the check. which was for $50. was
written while she was under the influence
Of stimulants and narcotics taken to allie
viate the pain of an attack of pleurisy,
she believed, would be sufficient to influ-
ence the jury to bring verdict of ac-
Quittal.
At the word guilty Mrs. Webb flushed
and trembled, but only momentarily. She
recovered quickly and was apparently per-
fectly composed while her lawyer, Alfred
E. Case, made his motion for new trial.
The extreme penalty for the crime of
which Mrs. Webb was found guilty is q
fine OF 1000 and Imprisonment In the
county Jail for one year.

TERROR COSTS REASON
Austrian Girl at Virginia Will Have to
Be Deported.

Duluth, April ia night cry of
fire and the glare of flames through a
bedroom window changed the whole
course of Mana Vukicevic's life. In
stead of being the happy bride of the
man for love of whom she travelled
from Austria to the United States her
reason has flown, and she left this
afterno DON in charge of immigration
Inspector Frank w. Heath and Mrs.
Heath for New York, where she will
be placed on the steamer Ultonia for
deportation to her old home in
Austria.
The girl is but nineteen years old,
and she came to this country last Au-
gust from Austria. She had a mar
ried sister at Virginia, and she went
there to await the day of the cere-
mony. Preparations for the wedding
were on when one night she was
awakened from her sleep by a cry of
fire. Through her bedroom window
came the red glare of the flames,
bringing up horrible fears. Her rea-
son fed, and when her sister and
brother-in-law found her she was de-
mented.
That was three months ago. When
her betrothed found that she had be-
come insane the arrangements for the
wedding were called off.
