most universal practice of vaccination
the smallpox germs seem to have become
less virile. That is biological fact
which has been shown in many instances.
but it does not go to the root of the mat
ter
The plain facts are; Smallpox is I'M
questionably a disease which is more con-
ta2ious and infectious than almost any
other to which the human race has been
subjected.
One hundred and fifty years ago every
human being in civilization expected that
smallpox would come to him or her in
some form or other. There were many
survivors, but the death list was terrible.
incubation was the first form of proven
ton, and this caused many deaths. even
when the strongest persons submitted to
the process. Vaccination. the discovery
of Jenner. has made death by smallpox
almost the least common of infectious
diseases, whereas it was formerly the
greatest.
It may be admitted that A few persons
suffer from vaccination and some deaths
have been attributed to this cause-about
days when there was no remedy for the
disease. The point at issue is whether
it can be shown that the human race has
become SO virile and the germs Of small
pox so innocuous that there is no neces-
sity for undergoing vaccination. We DO
not think 1t has been proved. All the ar
gument is in favor OF vaccination. The
experts are about as 100 to 1 In favor
of vaccination, and compulsory vaccfna-
ton at that. The deaths from this dis
ease in Germany among the vaccinated
are nil. 1t is likely that would be the
case in this country If the practice were
compulsory.
No one likes to be vaccinated for the
fun of 1t. but none of us wants to take the
risks of getting the disease.

Speedy English Justice.

From the New York World.
Complaints having recently been made
Of the delays in procedure in English
courts, especially in the kings bench d.
vision Of the high court and the court OF
appeals, a correspondent of the London
Times made an examination which led
him to conclude that 1.-The bitter cry OF
the kings bench sutton" must have been
imaginary or due perhaps to his own un-
readiness to go to trial.
English justice now. whatever might be
said OF II a few years ago Is remarkable
for it's speed In the lists of appeals in
the privy council for hearing June Is last
for instance. no one of them was of earlier
date than February II OF this year and
all but three had been entered subsequent
ly to May II last. The correspondent re-
ferred to also states that OF the thirty
final appeals from the kings bench divi-
sion at the beginning of the Easter sitting
last spring only six were marked as stand
ing over, and of forty-one effective final
appeals. more than half of which were en-
tered in that term, all but three were dis
posed Of.
AS a matter Of fact. there is now little
or no cause for complaint in English
courts over the laws delay" and read
ers of Dickens stories and the long
drawn-out case Of "Jarndyce and Jarn-
dyce'' will no longer find anything in Eng
lish legal procedure to justify such crit
icism and caricature.
In America the dilatory ways of courts
and lawyers are approXimating more and
more to the old rather than to the new
English methods as regards delays which
defeat justice.

is doomed
Shepherds alley was today marked by
the board of condemnation of insanitary
buildings. and within a few weeks every
house and shack" within it will be torn
down. The alley contains six three story
brick dwellings. two two.story brick
houses and one or two little frame
structures. but in these few dwellings
reside ninety-nine colored people Sixty
nine of this total live in the six three
story dwellings
These dwellings are considered unique
According to Roy 4. Haynes. inspector
for the board. Shepherds alley is the
only alley or court in the city that
boasts of three-story brick residence
These residences are in dilapidation and
rapidly decaying. They contain many
small: fll-ventflated rooms In which whole
families IN a number of instances live and
sleep. The houses have water and sewer
connections. but absolutely inadequate to
answer the demands, according to Mr.
Haynes.
The police say that Shepherds alley is
as notorious for disorder as was the ia
nous Blagden's alley in the same neigh
borhood before it was Cleaned up by
the board about year ago. Shepherd s
alley is a popular congregating place for
idle colored men and women at all hours,
and the police necessarily have it con-
stantly under strict surveillance
Mr.. Haynes said the owners Of these
houses will erect large brick ware
house on their site.
The old Colonial building which is To-
Gated at 1011 34th street. near the canal,
which was built in 1895 and which is one
OF the historical landmarks of George
town. Is to be condemned by the board.

ADVICE AS TO MATRIMoNY.
st. Louis Clergyman Thinks Som
Marriages Distinctly Sinful.

From the st. Louis Republic.
The st. Louis clergyman who holds it
to be sin to marry for wealth, physical
attractions or social advantage is far
apart from the cynical Englfshman who
laid it down as his opinion that there
would be fewer unfortunate marriages
among heiresses and heirs if the match
making were all done by the lord chan
cellor and his choice of mates enforced
by order of court.
Unconsciously, perhaps. the St Louis
divine almost declares himself Il disciple
of the Platonic philosophy of true love,
| which is that to every man and to every
woman born into this world there is borr
soul-mate; that they go about eagerly
seeking each other and that there is
great rejoicing when each has the hap
pineSS to find the other.
The mischief of 1t is that the soul te
often plumbers most miserably in identi-
flying his or her other half, and when the
mistake is discovered then come weari-
ness, pickering, nagglng, pouting and
the divorce court. But II is not always
SO. When a young man is confident OF
his ability to support wife and deter
mined to do his best in that line, II he
! wants the girl badly enough to lie to the
marriage license clerk about his age and
to her parents about his prospects, and
If the girl is equally certain that she has
found the right life companion, a happy
| marriage is often the result.
But there is wisdom in the view of the
smokehouse and corncrib philosopher
who maintains that the mud-sill founda-
ton of happy home is d well filled
larder. When poverty comes in at the
door love Is too apt TO fly out OF the win
dow. There are so many noble exceptions
TO the rule, however, that 1t seems al
most biasphemous to quote it.
Mrs. Brownings observation that in
art, in literature and in life the highest
perfection is attained in balanced COM
bination of the spiritual with the natural
Is worthy of thought by people contem-
plating matrimony. Punch's advice to
such persons, not to do 1t. is followed by
nobody. But 1t will do no harm to con-
slider that a good provider may make just
as loving and lovable husband as the
swain who writes verses to his sweet
heart and raves about her eyes. And the
tribution to setting up the home is apt to
creature who misplaces confidence in the
ability of her romantic lover to maintain
her in delicate luxury.
1t is natural that prudent and loving
mammals should oppose the marriage of
their daughters without a reasonable as
surance that they will be well taken care
of. and yet they often make horrible
mistakes i'll the good catches which
they make.
On the whole. it must be admitted tina
the great majority OF mankind. in pair
ing, do about as our learned and devout
st. Louis friend says they ought to-
They marry by inclination, and are not
sorry for it.

WILD ANIMAL MARKET.
Giraffes and Hippopotami Bring the
Highest Prices.

From Harpers Weekly.
Wild animals from the Gizeh Geological
Gardens in Egypt delivered during the
years 1S96-190S at London, Marseille.
Hamburg and Rotterdam realized the fol-
lowing prices:
The king of beasts the lion. sold
comparatively cheap, mainly because the
cost of feeding made buyers shy of the
investment, Fine wild-born lions realized
from $500 TO $500.
Mepagerie-born animals cost OH. an av-
erage $50. A lioness has even sold for
under $40; while, on the other hand.
$3.50 to 81, 400 IS not too big price to
ask for an exceptionally. fine specimen of
lion.
Enthusiastically described as lions
are not I'm such demand; $50 will often
buy one: fair average specimens fetch
500. $1G0 and few sl23. The tiger is.
however. high-priced animal; $3.50 is
the lowest figure at which he sells, with
500 for tigress.
a speciality of value is the European
lynx: A young one cannot be had for less
than 500. and the full-grown animal is
worth from S120 to $40 Wolves are a
weak. market; SO is their average per
head 81 the minimum and $40 the top
price. Catch a fox quite youns and the
cub may realize 81, 81 or only just 81
full grown It's value Is so.
Polar bears always maintain their
price Very rarely does a specimen
change hands at less than $40: but other
kinds Of bear come cheaper. A sea lion
costs 800. The beaver is good for $50. a
price due to the animals destruction for
bounty in the Rhone valley.
Hippopotami have no quotation in some
markets. When In supply this prehis-
toric looking beast is worth from s.. 400
to $1,000. Elephants are much more wide
~ dealt in. A young one may be pur-
chased for from $1,000 to 81 800.
But most considered of wild animals is
the giraffe. Previous to 1898 1t was i'm
possible to buy one for less than 5000;
in 10000 the price had shrunk to 81 800,
which did not repay the cost OF importa-
tion. The actual market value. of young
giraffe in good condition may now be
quoted at anywhere from 81. 900 to 81 400.
AS to the monkey market. the chimpan-
zee varies good deal in price. a young
ore In condition fetching from 500 to
500 Other big apes are more expensive,
although at times there goes begging a
good chance. as In the Suez market. where
a Young orang-outang almost full grown
was on offer at $50 recently-a real bar
gain.
Barbary apes. of the kind which still
inhabit Gibraltar rock. sell at $40 to $50.
Bombay and southwest China monkeys
are not held OF much account. Four dol
lars will buy one. Balloons cost more
generally from $40 to 500. according to
the specimen.

dripping" Situation in New York


From the Bohemian Magazine.
Not long since some of the New York
papers undertook to investigate the mat
ter of tipping. This was at the time OF
the strike of the walters in Paris and
when some wiseacre had suggested-for
the sake Of a good story-that the walt
ers in New York might follow suit. The
conclusion the papers came to was that
the walters would not strike, because be-
ing waiter was far too profitable an oc-
cupation to be scoffed at. The walters in
Paris struck because they had to pay for
their positions and then divide their fees
with the owners and head walters of the
places where they worked. The news
paper reporters wisely concluded that no
such conditions existed In Manhattan.
This was especially a wise. conclusion
for them to come to because of the large
amount of advertising carried In their
sheets by the hotels and because of the
special indulgencies which most of the
to grant reporters. -! matter of fact,
1t Is probably true that there are some
strictly honest restaurant keepers and
head walters. But none of them Is so
foolish as not to take advantage of
public which is willing to pay their serv-
ants for them. The waiter in the aver
age flrst-class hotel or restaurant. such
as Sherry's or the Knickerbocker or the
Holland House-and most of the other
mice" places-receives from the proprie-
tor about 81 day. The income of the
walters in these places averages from So
to $50 week The public smilngly pays
the difference. The trouble with some
Of the large places is that the work of
engaging walters and supervising them
is handed over entirely to the head wait
ers-and favoritism takes the chance to
creep in via the vest pocket. The head
waiter has the same chance for graft"
apart from his own large tips for spe-
cial attention-that comes to any other
subordinate boss in any other position
Because the popularity Of his occupation
forces him to indulge in the singularly
bad taste of wearing full dress in the
morning. his morals are not essentially
different from those of other petty ty-
rants.

The National Songs.
rom the Philadelphia Ledger,

From the Philadelphia Ledger
Though Americans are not all agreed
as to what really is or ought to be our
national anthem" it is reasonably sure
that the popular choice would not fall
upon Hail Columbia. Yet that was
the song selected by the Japanese to well
come the American fleet, and the Japa-
nese are generally discriminating peo-
pie. And In truth they only followed
the European custom in this. for Hail.
Columbia" is usually the tune played
upon official occasions abroad when it
is desired to compliment the United
States.
1t could hardly be otherwise because.
of all our so-called national music. Hail
Columbia" is the only tune-excepting
Dixie and the songs of the civil war
of American origin. The tune we call
and that belongs to Great Britain. THE
Star Spangled Banner is also an English
tune, though We have made it our own,
and it may well be that foreigners do
hearing it. Even Yankee Doodle is of
doubtful lineage as well as of auestiona-
BILE dignity. 1.-The Presidents March,

1.-The Red. White and Blue is in some
respects a better tune. but THE Star
Spangled Banner is by SO much the
best of the group that it has gradually
gained acceptance to the exclusion of the
others. 1t is hard to sing, but glorious
for the band, and nothing is likely to
drive it out. Certainly national an

If prizes would produce one, we should
have plenty to choose from. But ma

song to draw upon. we have to depend
upon the popular acceptance of some
tune that may nave had only an acct
dental association with any patriotic in
spiration.

Originality Needed.

From the Country House.
To revive an old style of building. no
matter how well it may be done. does
nothing to advance the art of building.
1t would at the best be but a copy of an
old work Painters copy old masters for
the purpose of study. but copying pic
lures will never make painters repu-
tation. Something new must be achieved,
some original work executed before any
advance in art is possible. So 1t is with
