tra1ia has been widely circulated, while 1t will be remembered that in St. Pierre and NFIuuelon the United States flag was hoisted as form of protest. The French Antilles are in a depiorable condition.
 1t may be that the collective state- ment of their grievAnoes at the forth coming Congress may draw the atten- ton of the home Government to the old colonies of France which seem to have been almost entirely forgotten.

 Opium is committing ravages among onlcers and men In the naval ports, and now The Intransigeant comes out with doleful tale of the addiction of students in tho Latin quarter to nor phtne. 1t uays that the young men who have yielded to the influence of the morphine habit are not content to satisfy this unwholesome craving in solitude. but must needs find compan- ions. 70 that whole groups are cor rupted. and the evil is steadily increas- limited to the male sex. Young wo- men, as. matter of fact, have set the bad example in the quarter. and the men>have followed suit. The Intran- sigeant calls on the police to keep . sharp eye on the establishments of va- rious chemists who. as 1t alleges. dis pense morphine on the strength of pre- scriptionr which are manifestly con cocted It is to be hoped that there is considerable exaggeration In these as- sertions, but as the attention of the authorities is being called to the mat ter, 1t ought to be possible to form . tolerably clear idea of the true state of things when the schools reassemble this fall and the Latin quarter is itself again.
 Tne Association of Students of the ouartier Latin hope shortly to have at their disposal club -house for which they have received State subsidy. Unfortunately. owing to a strike among the workmen. 1t seemed likely that the completion of this building would have to be postponed indefinite ly. The Students Association. how ever, refused to-submit to tht despot- ism of the labor leaders and the Gen eral Confederation of Labor. It's pres ident appealed to those of It's members who had served their time in the arr tillery or engineers, and succeeded in raising sufficient followers to carry on the work. only the final touches are required, and those to all appear ances the students themselves will soon succeed in finishing.
 1t is characteristic of the French labor movement that this action on the part of the students, which has -eearned general applause from the French public, is called treachery by the Syndicalists. and that the Human ite" applies to the students In question the name of university blacklegs." :.

Divers are the way of love and love- making. It was love in cottage once. IL is love in an automobile now. Love in the airship is on the way. and love at the north pole Is possibility. But if you land where both cottage and automobile cease to mix with the gen. erai run of existence. as in the tene- ment districts of Chicago's Europe. you will find yourself face to face with a new variety of love-making. It is love in grocery, ani love-making over the counter with sour, unfeeling pickles. and salted. and unsentimentaI herring as silent and indifferent wit nesses
 This love making over the counter is not a matter of choice with the young men and women of these dis tricts. but of necessity. Hundreds of girls in the foreign districts of Chicago are of necessity compelled to assist their parents in business. They must act as clerks and cashiers. They must wait on customers and know just exactly in what articles the grocery stock Is becoming depleted anu order the same from the wholesale house the next morning. These girl clerks work till and 10 o'clock in the even- ing day in and day out-Wednesday not excepted. Hence the necessity for love making over the counter.
 The father, too. does not object to this coming of his daughters swain Wednesday night. and sometimes on two or three other nights in the week, to see ''his girl" in the store First, Nit saves the girls time. She can be zao fn pnqfnmQFa Second. it saves the young mans money. For if he had taken the girl out there would have been an "ex- pense~ connected with 1t. There would have been car fare for two. and ice cream for two. and nickel show for two. and perhaps also candy or chocolate for two. And since the swain is to be his daughters husband the wise and business-like father would prefer to see nm save ms

PLAGUE IS

Threatening to spread with It's death- dealing ravages through the entire southwestern part of the United States, the bubonic plague has been discovered for the first time in history to be epf- demic in this country. Practically eradicated from San Francisco through the crusade waged there against the infected rats. the diagnosis of a case discovered on September 27 in Contra Costa County, Cal. across the bay from San Francisco. is causing ofiicia1s of the public health and marine hospital service and the biological survey con siderable worry.
 Considering that they are confronted with the most serious problem evolved since the discovery of the dread maI- ady in San Francisco. soWe five or six years ago. both governmental bureaus are planning to fight the disease in Contra Costa County and vicinity. AL ready the several corps of men of the public health service are in the field waging war on q species of ground squirrel found to be infected with the plague. Working in conjunction with these men is Q corps of experts from the biological survey.
 Scores of Squirrels Tnoculated.
 "Though San Francisco is practically cleansed of the disease" said Dr. O.. Hart Merriam, chief of the Biological survey last night, ''here is just an in- stance of what serious problem con- fronts us. Of 300 squirrels. captured by our men in the locality where the recent case of plague developed. PIP have been found to be inocuiated with the bubonic plague. During the past two years we have had eight cases of plague in the counties lying contfgu- ous to Mount Diabolo. The first man claimed by the ravages of the plague in that vicinity was Il blacksmith who had not been out of the county in which he lived for several years.
 "Knowing that he had not come Into contact with any of the infected rats which exist about the cities oa the coast. the marine hospital service start. ed an investigation. and found that the disease had been taken rom snuirrel which the man had shot several days before. Further investigation de- veIoped that many of those squirreis were infected with the disease.

The GambIer,s Hunch.

| iof the manner in which gamblers are .prone to bet on "hunches"-that is chance happenings in which they see an indication of sure wtnninghas ever tcome to light here than that which was revealed this week. This one had to do with horse racing. the field in~which lunches" are most eagerly sought af- ter, for while race track gambling is under the ban of the law in this State, 1t Is nevertheless still possible to make oral wagers--that is to bet by word of
 mouth and not through the medium of written records. The remarkable hunch an this case had to do with fish. and. as is not generally tbe case. it. woyked. lTha person who got the hunch by lcatching the fish was a man named Co., uor, who was formerly betting com missioner on the various tracks around the. city previous to the coming Of the Hughes legislation. Since the new laws have changed matters he lshas spent most of his time at a nearby seacoast resort noted for it's fishing
 Early Thursday morning Color went out to catch some fish for breakfast
 ana it was while cleaning his catch that he found in the stomach of one of the fish a tattered remnant of newspa- per bearing only the letters TIL" The
 old race track spirit aroused in him. he announced to his scoding friends that
 this was a hunch and that he Intended to back at the local track the next day any horse whose name began with these letters There turned out to be only one---a horse named High Private. But the horse won and Color, following aip his hunch, came out nearly S2.000 10 the good. Not only is thls most remarkable instance of the strange
 methods by which a gambler discovers

New York, Oct. 16.--Now that the Hudson-Fulton celebration has gone and New York hes had an opportunity to indulge In retrospscticn. the chief
 tendency of statisticians has been to- ward an enumeration of the accom- 'plishments of .this city during the last .century--that is since Fulton's steamer
 first chrgged up the river--and v,e outlook for the coming hundred yH ks I in 1807 aS the figures of researchers
 show, the city. on the present day ba-
 sis. would have been nowhere. It's tpopulation was only q trifie over S0,000
 as compared to 4,50o.oo0 today. The Industries of the city at the time of lFulton's voyage consisted of four grist mills. three saw mills, three iron works, one trip hammer and nineteen distill- cries. The hgures also chronicle the existence of 7,t40 hogs. 3,569 meat cat tie, forty-six idiots, ls3 lunatics. 2,085 Ipaupers and 12.575 persons of. coIors' of whom sixteen were qualified to vote. These early business undertakings nave within the century developed Into the present horde of manufacturing in- ldustries. numbering over 285.000 which turn out products with an annual value of $f8.o00. 100000. As the income of the Federal government in 1900 was only about 10000. .000, the value of pro- ducts now turned out here as the re- suit of q single century's growth ex- sceeds that figure nearly 100 fold. Like
 wise the customs collections at this
 port which last year reached the sum
 of t21S,000. 900, or more than one-third
 of the whole revenue of the nation. are ten times greater than the national rev lenue in 1907. Should the same rate of increase continue during the next cen-
 tury experts figure that the city's pop ,ulation in 2o09 will reach the tremen-
 dous figure of 225.n0o.0oo or nearly the United States. What Its area would be with such a population is only a
 matter of conjecture.

Wreck at Moody Station.


Leroy.-A north bound Missouri
Pacific local freight train crashed in
to a south bound Missouri, Kansas
and Texas passenger train at Moody
station, five miles south of this place,
killing one and injuring thirty-two.
The dead:
Miss Grace Nelson, Americas Kan
sas.
The engine of the freight train
struck about the middle of the rear
coach of the passenger train, carrying
it on the pilot nearly so yards north
and throwing it sideways on the track.
As the coach went by 1t tore out the
end of the station house.
Doctors from Leroy and Burlington
were hurried to the scene OF the
wreck. The hotels and boarding
houses were full of injured.
The freight train was in charge OF
Conductor H. A. Dirigo. The engineer
was S. ]. Edsall and the fireman c.
Wadley, all of Coffeyville. None Of
the freight crew was hurt the engin-
eer jumping before they struck. The
engineer of the freight train claims
he had the right of way; that hack
man threw the gate open for the Katy
train, and that 1t pulled onto the
crossing, and that he could not stop
in time to prevent the collision.

Faces Big Guarantee.

Coffeyville.-The roller mill which
Is projected for Coffeyville is almost
an assured thing. The only thing now
in the way is the raising of the bonus
for the factory. Some time ago the
Chamber of Commerce and citizens of
this city raised bonus fund of $780,
900 to be used in the promoting OF
new Industries for the city.
The money was to be paid In Install
ments. While none of the details
have been given out, it is generally
understood that all the details have
been arranged between the company
and the Chamber of Commerce ex-
cept a guarantee that the bonus will
be paid.
The factory, when completed, will
employ about six hundred men to
start with, and will add several thou
sand to the population OF the city. A
plat of ground has been laid out in
lots near the site of the mill and
these lots will be sold to the work
men and 1t is also understood that
the company intends erecting a num-
Der OF dwellings there to house the
employees.

Dorothy and the Stork.

First Methodist Episcopal Parsonage
In Yonkers, NJ Y, she manifested in
tense interest, but was not astonished.
81 knew he was coming" she ex-
claimed; II knew it."
Pressed for an explanation, the five
year-old said: 81 was down to the
Bronx zoo the other day and saw
the stork in his cage. l recognized
MIN by the black stripes on his wings
that papa said were there. Well, when
the stork was standing alone on one
leg, / went close to him and whispered
in his ear that l wanted him to bring
me a baby brother or sister. He didn't
say anything. but knew he would do
it, because he bent his head toward
me and winked an eye"
