An epidemic OF ID grippe seems to b
swceping over the country. and tens Of
thousands Of people are suffering from
the disease. Pittsburg reports the worst
visitation In Its history. The business
u the city In d~isorganixed on account
Of the large number Of people who have
been suddenly forced to remain absent
from their places Of employment.
Factories and mills. Offices and stores,
are affected seriously.
There Il q notable uniformity In the
symptoms Of the present epidemic,
which appears 10 affect principally the
bronchial passages. Bronchitis and
pncumonla ARE Its most common accom-
paniments, and It aggravates fully 50
PER zen OF the tuberculosis cases. Those
most inJurionsly affected are persons
who before the attack were badly run
down In their general health. In their
cases pneumonia quickly develops,
while the heart. brain and other or
gana become affected.
In Philadelphia an epidemic Of grippe
ID sweeping the city and whole fami-
lies are FRUSTRATED by II. Pneumonia In
many II followed Close upon Its
heels, and last week many persons died
Of that disease. Doctors are scarcely
able to keep mp with the demands made
upon them. Baltimore. too. II expert
encing m unusual amount Of sickness.
Other cities where grippe has made
tts appearance are Boston, Chicago. Cln-
cinnati. Cleveland. Denver, Milwaukee
and New York. and reports from these
places Indicate that the health authori-
ties fear that the outbreak II only at
the beginning. Health Commissioner
Evans, Of Chicago, has issued Z warn
ing to the people. urging them to get
plenty Of fresh air and to exercise In
the open as much a. possible. Chicago
knows the danger Of grippe, for 1t has
been frequently visited by the disease.
In 1890 that city had 100000 grippe SUI
ferers and 112 deaths directly resulted.
In 1890 over 900 persons died from the
disease, and since the first appearance
Of the malady the city has paid .
tribute OF zoos lives.
In New York. where the disease u
now gaining q strong foothold. sixty
eight deaths resulted last week and
there are many cases scattered about
the city.
Boston Is the worst sufferer on the
Atlantic seaboard. There are nearly
100000 cases there and sixty deaths
have resulted. Cincinnati has 1900
cases and the disease seems to be cpl
demic In form.
The open winter Is held responsible
for the spread OF the disease. Where 1t
originated no n seems to know. 1t
travels with wonderful rapidity. In
1850, when the grippe appeared In viru-
lent form all over the country, 1t was
tracked back to Europe and thence to
Hong Kong In China. The germs OF
the present epidemic may have come
from the same source.

HIS NIKE cHEEsES.
An old Time New England stery Of
 Stinqy Parson.

Anecdotes in which the mean and grasping man is outwitted or held up to ridicur are popular everywhere and always. Few ancient towns are with out their historic or traditional in- stances Of stinginess punished or sharp practice defeated. In one village of New England, says the Youths Com panion, there is still current such q tale concerning an unpopular parson of more than a century ago.
 Although a learned man of impress i've manners. this clergyman was noted for undue reluctance to expend and readiness 10 acquire. He had habit of pleading poverty and hinting for gifts.
 The parish. although with some mur- muring. had responded with fuel for his kitchen. hay for his horse. Thanks giving turkeys for his table and a subscription cloak" of black satin for his wife when her wedding manteau became shabby. The murmurs in- creased when it was found that the parson turned an honest but over shrewd penny by selling instead of using many of these donations. But they were not loud enough to disturb his stately calm. and he went his way without condesceDding to notice them. At last. however. fortune played him trick for trick.
 One pleasant winter day be made a round of calls. and at each house. when just about to leave. he casually asked his hostess if she could let him have little piece of cheese. as his wife happened to have none in the house and unexpected company had arrived. In each case the good house. wife. instead of a little piece, generous ly presented him with a whole cheese. which be graciously accepted. As he turned from the door stone at the close of the last visit. while the mother of the family and her brood of nine chil- dren stood politely gathered 10 watch him drive away he carelessly pulled the wrong rein. the sleigh tipped sharply ou drift. and out from under the ministerial lap robe rolled nine large cheeses. which spun friskly away in all directions on the icy crust
 His hostess understood the situation at glance,
 Don't disturb yourself. pray. sir" she said politely as he made a motion to descend Tt is quite unnecessary. The children win gather them up. and none will be overburdened or will there be any quarreling for the priv nege. See: 1t Is just cheese to a child"
 So 1t was. and the embarrassed par son. unable to escape. was obliged to receive back his cheeses. with due thanks to each giggllng volunteer as they came up in gleeful procession one by one.
 Too well he knew that by the next day the whole parish would be laugh ing at his misadventure. although he could scarcely have guessed that the joke would be recalled hundred years later. .S.

GAMBLING IN COTTON
Planters Association Discusses Func
 tions or Legitimate Exchange.

Dallas, Tex, Feb la.--A feature of the first days proceedings of the an nual convention of the Southern Cot ton association to-day was the ad- dress of W. B. Thompson, president of the New Orleans Cotton exchange, on "The Functions of the Legitimate Cotton Exchanges" The substance of his argument was that the New Or leans cotton exchange was an in- dlspensable adjunct to the cotton rais- ing industry of the south in that 1t furnishes a market where the seller may post the price he is willing to take and the buyer may post the price he is willing to pay for the staple. He declared against gam bling where no actual cotton was in volved, but favored dealing in futures, saving that this was absolutely neces- sary to the life of the exchange.
 c. II. Jenkins of Brownwood, Tex" author of the Texas anti-bucketshop law, asked why the New Orleans cot ton exchange, If 1t was really opposed to gambling in cotton could not en- dorse the Texas anti-bucketshop law. which did not prohibit dealing in fu- lures provided actual cotton was in- volved

Auburn, N. Y., Feb 19-"I am of the opinion that there will be no use in appealing to Governor Hughes for a pardon" said Chester Gillette this aft ernoon to his sixteen-year- sister, Lucille, in the condemned cell of Au- burn prison
 '1 believe he continued, after a pause that the best policy would be for MT. Mills to try and secure a stay of proceedings until new governor comes into office, as believe that Mr. Hughes seldom interferes with the working of the law
 People may expect that I will sit down and cry after hearing that the court of appeals would not grant me a new trial but I am not inclined to do any such thing. l am just as confi- dent as ever that can prove my inno- cence if given another chance. and I am going to keep up hope to the last minute
 Chester, according to his sisters statement, given a Post-Standard re. porter, appeared as unconcerned as fl in his own home He does not appea, to be worried, and only ocasionallv when hls thoughts revert to the possi- hilities of the future does shade ot sorrow pass over his features.
