sertion that Captain Lamb was not q
good Democrat, nor a good representa-
tive. nor a good Republican. yet. He
made his plea for the votes Of the East
Enders on the ground that he was a
Democrat, had always been a loyal
party man and stood on the party plat
form. He declared that. unlike Cap
tain Lamb. he would vote for all the
party he had declared for and not
merely vote aye for what suited him
and nay on planks that did not suit
him. When he found he could no
longer support all the planks in the
Democratic platform Judge wiekhani
said he would resign and return his
commission to the people who had
given 1t to him. This brought tremen-
dous applause.
Captain Lamb closed the debate by
repeating his assertion that he had
voted as he believed right, and said:
IF I made a mistake--and this Is the
only one with whinr ] am charged
during my fourteen years of service--I
want you men who have made but
single mistake In fourteen years to

a spell Of unusually hot weather, has
been SO alarming that the government

mines are temporarily closed. railroads
are hampered and the peasantry so
affrighted that nnharvested crops are
rotting in the fields.
In rural Russia alone there are to-
day approximately 100, 900 case Of such
a malignant type that nearly 80 per
cent are proving fatal In the cities
the conditions are equally appalling.
St Petersburg hospitals contain 1000
cases. and there are probably as many
more cases in private houses, owing
to the health department recognized
Incompetence IN discovering and isola-
ting cases.
In some of the worst of the country
districts the people are fleeing from
their homes and thereby spreading the
disease broadcast. The deaths In some
localities have been so heavy that rot
ting bodies are found in fields and by
the roadside, Many of the bodies are
still clothed. indicating that the vic
TINS died after the briefest Illness and
probably without medical attention.
The ignorance OF the peasants and
their belief that the nurses who go
among them Intentionally scatter the
germs of the disease makes the work
OF caring for the victims extremely
difficult

possible to check the disease, but 1t has

He won the medal at the clambake of

One week ago Mr.. White went down
to Long Island and won all the hon

There was q baseball game between
the married men and the single men,
The game was a good one and lasted
eleven innings the benedicts winning

pitched for the single men and
Young Marsh twirled for the mar

Everybody started in the clam cat

few who lasted long eongh to make
things look dangerous for Mr.. White
They were Joe" Humphries, Her
man Rosenthal. the president of the

them could reach the two hundred

given to Mr., White.

NIXON A STOKER
OF BIG STEAMER
Son of Shipbuilder Cheerfully
Yields Shovel Daily on
Transport Summer.

NEW YORK, August S.--Getting
his eyes. ears and face covered with
CRIME and coal dust. his hands bis
tered and som etimes his feet blistered
by red hot ctnders. seems only joy
to Stanhope Nixon, son of Lewis
Nixon. During a trip he made with
his father on the transport Sumner
and an American delegation to Bue-
nos Ayres he spent from two to four
hours In the hold Of the ship every
day stocking.
Young Nixon stood before the blaz-
ing. clustering furnaces and heaved in
shovel after shovel full of coal with
out the least sign of firing, but, on
the other hand, with seeming relish.
He didn't mind the work principally
because he liked it, and the fact that
an athletic career that ne has been
following well fitted him for the un-
dertaking.
When Nixon emerged from the
stoke hold every day nobody would
have taken him for the polished
young son of millionaire. He leok-
ed a sight on such occasion. His
face was almost concealed under a
coat OF coal dust and his arms were
Ike ebony.
His stocking made him the hero of
the trip His father did not discour-
age his undertaking, but. on the
other hand, encouraged 1t, saying that
1t would be good experience for
young man who some day may be
called upon to occupy the place his
father now does in the shirbuilding'
business.
