It Is the Plague Epidemic Now on in
India.

The greatest catastrophe the world
has ever Euown is in progress at this
present moI.e ent, and the world recks
little or nothing of it.
This is the plague epidemic in India'
which has now been raging for more
! than II years, and which, so far from
showing any tendency to die out,
keeps steadily increasing in intensity.
Thus, during the six weeks ending
May IL last, 4S1, 1892 persons perished
from it, or at the rate of over SO,O0O
deaths a week.
Nothing approaching the appalling
horror represented by these figures
has ever been recorded before. The
nearest to it was in 1905, when, dur
ing the last week in March, the cpl
demic was responsible for 57,7O2
deaths.
No pestilence of ancient or modern
times of which we have any .knowl-
edge has slain so many millions OF
people as has this one, and the end o.
which, mind, is not yet.
The Great Plague" of London, for
example, about which everybody has
heard, killed at the outside some So.
900 people in seven months, or about
as many as are dying weekly in India
from disease which is identical with
| it in every respect.
The "Black Death" is said to have
slain one-third of the then population
of England--say 100000 persons;
but this is doubtful. Even admitting
the correctness of the estimate, how.
ever, the mortality of the present cpl
demie in India has already more than
doubled this huge total IS sYl1

Neat Trick PLAYED by Robbsrs


1t was certainly reprehensible,
though one cannot but smile at the
bold trick played by half dozen men
in Paris few evenings ago. These in
dividuals rang at the door of a private
house, and before the servant could
announce their arrival the leader had
donned an official scarf and introduced
himself as a police commissioner
seized about $1,000 whi:h was lying
on the table as stakes in a game of
poker, and saying he would not
trouble the host and his guests
to call at the Office that evening
but would be obliged if they
would do so the next morning
politely departed. When the players
dutifully called at the office the next
day their visit created visible surprise
and they learned to their disgust that
this police commissioner of the night
before had tricked them, and their
$1,000 had been carried off by a gang
of thieves. So much for playing poker
and having an uneasy conscience!

UNDER $1,000 BAIL.
Nae C. Wood Committed TO
Tombs Prison

NEW YORK, May 2l.-Mae c.
Wood, whose suit for absolute di-
Sorce from Senator Platt has been IL
trial fr several days in the supreme
Sourt here. She was committed to the
Tombs prison late tonight after Judge
O'Gorman has dismissed the com
pEainant in her actions and ordered
her held in $4,000 bail on the charge
of perjury. The handwriting expert
testified that in his opinion the body
OF the letter in which Platt was alleg-
ed TO have admitted his relation as
husband to the plaintiff was added
after the senator's signature had been
affixed, More telling still for the de-
fense were depositions OF engravers
and stationers called by Platt's coun-
sell that the blank form upon which
the alleged Platt-wood marriage GER
tifcate was made was not lithograph-
ed until three months after date upon
which the marriage OF Miss Wood TO
Senator Platt was alleged to have
taken place Miss Wood was called
to the stand in rebuttal.
Platt's counsel then moved for the
dismissal OF the complaint 1t was
forthwith granted by O'Gorrnan who
IN rendering his decision said: 81
cannot credit plaintiffs evidence as to
the alleged marriage and the testi-
mony as it impresses the court is that
this is most wicked design to sup
port false and fvtitious claim by
forgery and perjury" Forthwith he
ordered Miss Wood committed TO the
Tombs on a charge Of perjury, fixing
her bail at $1,000 She was obviously
staggered by the sudden turn of
affairs and the shock caused by the
order of arrest which the court made.
She quickly regained her composure,
however, and by the time che reached
the city had rsumed her air of conf
dence which she held practically
throughout the trial.
AT the district attorneys office to-
night it was said that Miss Woods |
case would speedily be taken to the
grand jury if the indictment was
found. At late hour Miss Wood
had not been able to furnish bail she
was remanded and was still locked up
in the Tombs.
