WAR ON FRISCO PLAGUE
Great Cleaning UP of Coast City for
Coming Visit of Big Fleet.

After fight lasting for months the
marine hospital service is at last easy
IN mind over the proposed visit OF the
battleship fleet to San Francisco. Won-
derful work has been done by Surgeon
General Wyman, in cooperation with
the local authorities, toward stamping
out the bubonic plague, and complete
victory appears to be in sight. 1t was
said at one time that unless the prog
ress of the plague were stopped the
fleet would not be allowed to touch at
San Francisco. Once exposed to the
disease, there is no telling how badly
it would cut into the feet, and the gov
ernment has been overcareful, If any
thing, to take no chances.
At Magdalena bay, where the fleet
now is, it will remain some time for
target practice, and thence will steam
to Frisco. Since the plague first de-
veloped 121 cases have been verified
bacteriolosically and thirty y-eight clinic
ally, and these have resulted in seven
ty-seyen deaths, or more than so per
cent of ali afflicted.
The common rat is the greatest dis
seminatOr Of the infection, and the sur
geons waged merciless war against him.
In the last week reported to headquar-
ters, 9,915 rats had beeen trapped, 1883
bounty rats had been received, 2.5S3
had been examined bacteriolOgically
and twenty-siX had been found infected
with the bacillus of the plague.
The humble tea also has come in for
his share of Investigation, and the
Treasury Department has issued elab-
crate Instructions to the marine hos
pital service and to health officers gen
orally. directing how fieas shall be coll
lected and forwarded for examination.
The department circulated exhaustive
reports of the experiments with rats.
mice and teas by the British plague
commission in India. where the bubonic
plague has become common scourge.
These have been supplemented with
studies made in the Pacific ports; and
now it is desired to extend the investi-
cation to other places in the United
States. .." a.

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

(, Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements which
are exposed to the weather, to have the
paint applied properly. No excellence
OF material can make up for careless
ness OF application, any more than care
In applying it can make poor paint
wear well.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered hard
and smooth. Pure white lead should
be mixed with pure linseed oil, fresh
for the job, and should be well brushed
out, not flowed on thick. When paint
tsag is done in this manner with Ma
t'onal Lead Company's pure white lead
ttrade marked with "rhe Dutch Boy
Painter') there is every chance that
the job will be satisfactory. White lead
is capable of absolute test for purity.
National Lead Company, Woodbridge
Building, New York, will send testing
outfit free to any one interested.

In his annual report. President L
Clark Seelye of Smith College makes a
plea for less strenuous entrance require
ments, on the ground that they deter, or
at least cause. postponement of marriages
on the part of college women. He says
THE present requirements induce hurried
and superficial work in preparation, they
protract unduly the period of pupilage,
and they have made a higher education
more expensive, and thereby less accessi-
ble except to the wealthier classes who
do not always posses the greatest intel
lectual ability. AS most Of the able men
come from the poorer classes, it would be
both public and private calamity if it
should become harder for poor boys and
girls of ability to gain the mental cul-
ture they desire. 1t would be still
greater loss if, by postponing the time Of
graduation, family life should be impair
ed. The longer marriage is delayed the
less likely men are to marry. A college
education should not contribute the mod
eIa tendency to celibacy.
At the recent meeting of the college
presidents of the State of Wisconsin
formal announcement was made of the
plans formulated by the General Eluca-
tion Board, with the approval of both
Rockefeller and Carnegie, to so rearrange
and consolidate the smaller colleges as to
have in operation only one within a ra-
dius of 100 miles. All other institutions
will have to restrict their work to that
covered by the freshman and sophomore
years in the college on penalty of receiv-
ing no aid from the board. o. this ar
rangement the University of Wisconsin,
Beloit College and Lawrence University
will survive in Wisconsin.

The Way the Gar Proposed.

1t is a pretty story which surrounds
the betrothal of the present Car
Nicholas and the CZarina, for, although
the great question had been planned
AID thought out for them by their re-
spective parents, they both were de-
termired to have a say in the matter.
That they were in love with each
other every one knew, and between
themselves mutual understanding
had been arrived at in the summer
house of York cottage; but as Care
witch the future Car had to make
the formal and old-fashioned offer Of
his hand.

addressing the blushing bride-to-be,
"has commanded me to make you the
offer Of my hand and heart"

manded me to accept the offer of your
hand'-she broke into ripping laugh

Alio was speedily found guilty of muir
der in the first degree. Before being
placed in his cell, after conviction, he
was stripped and given new suit Of
clothes. His cell was thoroughly
searched and cleaned-even new bed
clothing being supplied. In spite of
these precautions the assassin managed
in some manner to procure razor
blade and made murderous assault
on a "trusty' who was engaged in
mopping out Alios cell. The assassin
cut the trusty's throat, but not fatal
ly, and then made a desperate effort to
regain his liberty, but was soon over
powered. Denver believes there Is in
the city gang Of anarchists ready to
go to any limit to aid him.

The long-threatened strike Of the

April to celebrate a miners holiday.
OF this number approximately 100000

Central Pennsylvania and Indiana are
the only big fields where work will not
be suspended.
The present strike is peculiar because
the question Of wages cuts little or no

men have been trying for years to bet

and to remain out until further orders.
Owners and miners are agreed that
there will be no resumption of work
for thirty days at least. The operators
want the abolition of the sympathetic
strike with the right of arbitration az
all times guaranteed. They also want
the same differential between machine
and pick mining that is in force in Ohio

The Indiana operators and miners

Michigan operators and miners have
agreed to continue operations pending
negotiations for an agreement. Ken

In the Southwest the suspension is
total. The miners had withdrawn their
demand for increased wages, but the
operators declined to make any con-

Good Humor and Cheerfulness from

Cheerfulness is like sunlight. 1t dis

Anything that interferes with good

he borrowed at different times. She
also swore to a complaint charging
