TIE SPREADING PLAGUE.
1t Has Become, In . Measure, a World
wide Menace.

! 1t Has Become, In q Measure, a World
wide Menace.
The terrible bubonic plague, which
I appeared in Hongkong in 1894, spread
from there to Bombay and in the next
/ twelve years carried off more than
100000 victims, has been almost quiz
escent for the past few years, but in
/ 1910 it appeared in a viruIent form in
Harbin, has since spread to other cit
les and is now a worldwide menace.
More alarming than tie reappear-
ance of the disease in Manchuria IS
the discovery of the disease in the
eastern coastwise counties OF England,
where several deaths have occurred.
Until 1906 little was known regard
ing the mode Of propagation Of this
terrible disease. although the disease.
itself is as old as history. In 1905
the Indian plague research commits
sion definitely traced the spread of the
epidemic to the feas on the black rats
of the country. The rats themselves
have the disease. A flea which sucks
the blood Of the rat takes the germs
into its stomach. If the flea bites
human being within a period Of three
weeks the germs are transferred and
the human being contracts the disease.
Until recently it had been supposed
that only the black rat is susceptible
to the plague and that only the flea
known as Pulex cheopis could trans
fer it. Later discoveries, however,
have shown that the common brown
or Norway rat is also liable to the dis
ease and that it may be transferred by
the ordinary rat flea.
Still another matter of great interest
has been disclosed by the cases III
England, which are not the bubonlc,
but the even more deadly and more
dangerous pneumonia plague The bu-
bonic form, in which the lymphauc
glands swell and suppurate. is trans
ferable only through some such medi-
um as the rat and the flea. The pneu-
monte form, on the other hand, Is Oil
rectly infectious. Youths Companion,

Methodists Favor Peace.

toronto, Ont. Oct. 12.-sThe act
OF President Taft in bringing for
ward the peace proposal between
England and America is one of the
most courageous and magnificent at
tempts ever made by any statesman
in the history of the world" Shortly
after this statement had been made
to the Ecumenica1 Methodist Con-
ference today by Alderman T. Snape
of Liverpool, England, the delegates
unanimously adopted a resolution en-.
dorsing the proposed arbitration
treaty.
"The Church and modern life," was
the subject of today's papers and
some of the sub-heads under which
the main topic was considered led to
further discussion of higher criti-
cism" which was before the conven-
ton yesterday. The Rev. S. D. Chown
Of Toronto in discussing '"The Adap-
tation of the Church to the Needs
of Modern Life,'' said.
Eve need today spiritual leaders
who are men first and clergymen af-
terwards. We need in then perfect
sincerity. The pulpit in some quarters
is dry-rotting with homiletic exer-
cises and languishing for the vital
messages of the Gospel. A parrot
preacher is a parasite. The Church
must increase it's activities in the
direction of social service. The Law
mans function is to secure social
justice. The preacher is but voice
crying in the wilderness unless the
laymen he represents combine to do
business in the spirit of the cross.
The political economy of the iron heel
is dominating our civilization and
Christianity. Human creatures must
be treated as if they had human ma
tures''

called off. The visitors were enter

Looks Like Wife Killed Him.

New Bern, Oct 12.-Witness after

now being tried for their lives in Cra-
ven County, Superior court for the
alleged poisoning of Joseph Witty
in an effort to tear down the damag-
ing evidence piled up against them
by the State during the first part of
the trial
Whether they succeeded in convinc-
ing the jury with their evidence is
matter Of speculation and remains
to be seen. but without any doubt
wuch of the evidence (if it is believ-
ed at least frees Burrill Casey from
any completely in the poisoning OF
Joseph Witty.
This sensational trial is now near
ing a close and it is more than prob
able that the defendants Burril and
Leona Casey will know within the
next twenty four hours what their
fate is to be.
The suspense which they have been
under during the past few days is
leaving it's trace upon the two Cas-
eys. During the first two days of the
| trial. their cheerfulness was very no.
ticeab1e and caused considerable com
ment from those who saw them. Now,
however, they sit in their seats with
listless air and seem to pay but lit
tie attention to the proceedings.
Occasionally, when their attorneys
Question them they seem TO awake
from the lethargy in which they seem

tention to whatever is transp1ring at
