The most notable fact in the his
tory of plague in the western world

San Francisco In 1904 plague caus-
ed the death Of over 100000 per-

prevailed to a greater or less degree
in nearly all parts Of the world

Propose to Married Woman.

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 9.-Although
she has a husband, Mrs. Anna Rowe
has recently received over 500 pro-
posals of marriage, and more are
coming from all over the country in
every mail. Mrs. Rowe's popularity
as a matrimonial partner is due to
the fact that she holds a good place
in line for the Fond du Lac reserva-
tion land opening. Through the err
ror Of a reporter, il. was stated in an
article published in papers all over
the country that the lady was un-
married, and this led to the deluge
Of proposals. Mr.. Rows takes the in
cident in good part and is having the
time Of his life reading the letters
from amorous swains who hope to
acquire a wife and a good farm at the
same time.

of bishops and distinguished clergy
men. Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop
of Baltimore, will be one OF the
speakers and he will be accorded un-
usual honors by the British clergy.
The papers and discussions in the
halls will for the most part be doc
trinal, and the central theme will
as the name of the congress signifies
deal with the holy eucharist con-
sidered as a sacrament and as a sac
rifice in the celebration of the mass,
A general committee has been
formed, and among the vice presi-
dents are the Duke Of Norfolk and
the Marquis of Ripon, while on the
reception and hospitality subcom-
mittee are, in addition TO the two
peers mentioned, the Earl Of Dem

speeches and the reading of the va
rious papers. For the benefit of
those unacquainted with English
there will be a section in some hall
where papers will be read in French.
Many visitors Of eminence will be
the guests of metropolitan Catholics.
The cassock will be worn generally
by clerks during the sitting of the
congress. and the unusual sight may
be witnessed Of priests of both the
Latin and the oriental rites in the
streets dressed in the Roman
garb.

LOAD TOO HEAVY.
Wife Could Not Bear Up Under Ac-
emulation of Trouble.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. S.-Unable to
borrow money enough to carry her to
her home in Georgia, where her
mother lies dead, and her father dy-
ing, Mrs. Sylvia Stokes this afternoon
drank poison within the shadow of
the penitentiary walls where her hus-
band is confined She will die.
The case is one of the saddest ever
brought under, the notice of the local
authorities. William Stokes is doing
three years for grand larceny and
will be liberated in a few weeks His
faithful wife has been starving out
side the walls, waiting only to be able
to see him on visitors day. This
morning she got a message from Mil
ledgeville, Ga, their former home,
reading:
Mother dead; father dying. Come
home at once"
1t was in vain that the distracted
woman appealed to the neighbors
and carried the telegram from door
t door along some of the more fash
ionable streets, asking only enough
carfare to carry her to Georgia.
One woman gave her 10 cents for
a cup of coffee, but finding that she
could not get enough for the car
fare south, Mrs. Stokes bought 10
cents worth of acid in a drug store
and, going near the prison where her
husband is confined, drank it.
Stokes, the prisoner, became so
frantic when he heard of his wife's
deed that he had to be placed in the
prison dungeon.

General wyman of the public health

location of their permanent homes

the months of March and August, |
1894. the number of deaths from
plague in Canton is estimated at 120,-
600. All classes among the popula-
ton suffered and rats were found to
be effected, but in the foreign quar-
ter Of Canton, with a population OF
about 800, not a single case occurred.
During the next year cases of plague
were reported in Hong Kong. Annoy,
Macao and Foo Choo, and in 1896
sanitary attention throughout the
world was focused on the threaten
ing epidemic by its appearance in
Bombay. Starting in August. the
disease spread throughout the whole
territory of Bombay presidency and
before the end of the year. showed a
total of 1880 cases and 22SS deaths.
During that year plague reappeared
in Hong Kong, where it has been ep-
idemic ever since. {
In 1897 the number of cases in
India were more than $4,000, with /
over $4,000 deaths In China there {
were epidemics at Annoy and Swatow,

was a great decrease, the number Of
deaths being about $4,000, but

Hawaii, since 1897, has not been free
