The plague. or Asiatic cholera, or
as 1t used to be called, the black
death" has been spreading OF late in
Europe.
In Russia, where the people are
dirtiest and most superstitious, the
plague thrives best Seventy thousand
persons are known to have died Of
this attack in Russia already.
This Is not surprising, for the in
fabitants instead Of cleaning their
wells, cleaning their bodies, and us
ing their brains, get out the little
ikons or images which the Greek
church sells at considerable profit.
and TO these little images supersti-
tious peasants pray-the prayers be-
ing Interrupted IN thousands OF cases
by death from the plague.
There Is nothing more tragic I'm all

the black death" I'm Europe.

For IL once the foe successfully in

These great manoeuvers OF large
bodies of armed men are common
thing in Europe and are beginning to
be common in this country. Civilians
often wonder wherein is the sense OF
spending hours. days, weeks, teaching
a man to stand in a certain fashion,
to step in certain way or to carry
a gun in q certain manner. They
ask themselves what difference 1t
makes whether the soldier faces to
the right or to the left about, or
whether he rubs shoulders with the
same man or a different one day aft
er day. To these people 1t seems
like a waste of time training large
bodies of men to step pace this way
or that and to do 1t instinctively. au-
tomatically, always just the same. 80
they could not do 1t in any other way
to save their lives. Yet although all
this may seem trifling and purpose
less 1t is like the interminable polish

ism. 1t is the process by which is

Perhaps of all branches of farming
breeding pedigree livestock is the

the plague was often so violent in the
old days just after a famine.
AS far back as the fourteenth CEN
tury Gabriel de Mussis observed that
those who escaped the plague gave It
to others with whom they came in con-
tact.
They gave II to others because they
had the plague within themselves;
their essential tract was infected with
the disease, and this disease they scat
tered
II is some comfort TO know that the
disease can only be acquired by actu-
ally swallowing the disease germs.
The man who will be sufficiently care
ful need not get the plague.

you eat no fruit that has not been

The main thing Is not TO worry

TRAIL Of CRAFT
Attempt to Trace Metropolitan
Railway Cash to Albany
Legislators
ASSOCIATED Press1

NEW YORK, Sept S-The effort to
trace Metropolitan Street railway cash
through the brokerage firm of Filing
wood & Cunningham to the accounts
of various members Of the legislature
of 1900 was expected to engage for a
considerable time today the attention
of the legislative probers into alleged
graft in connection with legislation at
Albany.
When the committee adjourned yes
terday the examination of the witness
considered to be the most important of
the day, George Carpenter, formerly
bookkeeper for the defunct brokerage
firm, had not been completed. Already,
however, he had told the COMMITTEES
many interesting things. Among these
was the statement that H. P. Vreeland,
president of the Metropolitan Street
Railway company, had on April II, 1900,
given the firm check for $4,000, of
which amount, according to Carpen-
ter's reading from the firms books, the
account of Louis Bedell, then chair
man of the committee on railroads or
the state assembly, had been credited
with S2375, while the balance had gone
in nearly equal parts to the accounts
of former Senator Goodsell and OF q.

committee needs in it's probing were

were being made today to have them
