ums. They seem to regard ignorance
as sacred and resent any appearance
of enlightenment as blasphemous. The
customary method of dealing with the
pestilence among the peasants is to
pillow around each village, the pillow be-
ing drawn by women and children,
holy water being sprinkled along the
way.
One % the greatest agencies for
spreading cholera throughout Asia and
Europe is the annual pilgrimage made
to Mecca by the Mohammedans.
Mecca is a breeding ground OF the
plague, ard vast numbers of the faith
full contract it and carry it back to
all MosIem lands.
Russia and Mecca are a long way
from the U. S. A, however, and just
now we have to keep our own door
yard clean from the contagion. The al
legged case Of the plague that appeared
in Auburn, n. Y, served to warn the
people Of the danger. The young Ital-
fan who died Of what was pronounced
cholera there had been detained at
quarantine in New York until the au-
thorities were satisfied, after which he
was allowed to go. He was evidently
one Of the so called cholera Carriers"
1t is claimed that these may bear the
germs in their systems for weeks be-

cases. Ordinarily the disease develops

A New York paper in giving an &C
count of the death of the Auburn
victim had one item that is a trife
mystfying. 1t read as follows:
Tonight a large bonfire was made OF
beds, bedding and the clothing OF the VIC
tim and his two brothers who nursed him
Is It not a little drastic to burn I'D
brothers in this fashion? Perhaps the
paper meant that only the beds, bed
ding and clothing Of the brothers were
fed to the flames, but the wording of
the thing leaves dark and clammy
doubt which should be cleared up.
Doty Sees No Danger.
Despite the cases in New York bay
and the reported death at Auburn, DR..
DOty insists that the country is not |
fin the slightest danger. He has been |
right so often before that his word |
will go, but he should be careful not |

that cholera is a rather ticklish thing, |

an interest in the matter. as is shown /
by the fact that Surgeon General Wy /

No orator living was ever great
enough to give out the same power

In the presence Of the audience lies
a fascination, an indefinable magnet

No Panic Nowadays.

In the old days the news that eight
deaths from cholera had occurred on
an island IN New York bay would
have occasioued a panic. People would
have fed from New York and from
most Of the other eastern cities. Now
it is merely an item Of news, over
which nobody grows particularly ex-
cited Millions in the metropolis. only
few mics distant from Swinburne
island, where the cholera cases are
treated. go about their business with
unconcern. They know that between
them and the infection is Dr. Doty.
Buttressed by science and supported
e by his corps Of trained assistants, he
Is equal to the contest. That is WHIST
the age Of reason has accomplished for
mankind The DR.. Dotys fortified by
knowledge, hold the terTors OF old at

the door In its face. The bubOnic
plague appears on the Pacific coast,
but goes no farther and is allowed TO
gain no real foothold even there.

LOOKING FOR
MORGANATIC WIFE
Secret Agents Are in This Country to
Find Out Where Mrs.
Napier is Located.

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 2S.-Secret
agents. presumably attached to Scot
land Yard and eastern detective bu-
eaus, are searching in Washington
and Oregon for Mrs. Trevelyan Ma
pier, daughter of Admiral Seymour
and alleged morganatic wife of King
George OF England The Spokane po-
lice admit that one operative, bearing
bona fide credentials, has been in east
ern Washington for week and his
inquiries. they add. indicate he is look
ing for the admiral's daughter, though
he declined to state his mission in
this part of the country. The theory
advanced by local detectives is that
the secret agent seeks to prevent Mrs
Napier disclosing her identity. The
Inland Herald of Spokane. which pub
lished the first intimation of the
agents movements in the state of
Washington, declares that the posi-
bility OF Spokane harboring Mrs. Ma
pier easily could ne fact and dis

MABEL BARRISoN'S
CASE HOPELESS
Actress Who Has Been Seen by keo-
kuk People Wasting Away With
consun,ption's Ravases.

Keokuk theatre patrons who have
been delighted with Mabel Barrison in
one or two of her performances else
where and have read much of this we'll
known actress, will be sorry to learn
that she win probably never go upon
the stage again, tubercular symptoms
having set in, and she has been hur-
ried to Texas where the pure air cure
viii be tried, in an endeayor to re
store her to health: a Chicago dis
patch says of her illness:
What progress Miss Barison
has made since her retirement
in December was unknown until
Saturday, when she left for San
Antonio. Texas, accompanied by her
husband, Joseph Howard, the song
writer and her physician, DR.. j. F..
Pitts.
A cottage has been engaged by the
party near San Antonio, and here the
! fresh air" cure is expected to accom-
plish much toward Miss Barrison's re-
coverr.
A feature of the illness that has
aroused the most anxiety has been
the affection of the lobe of the left
lung, that organ being reported, as al
most totally DESTROYED by the ravag,s
OF the disease.
Miss Barrison is native of Chica-
go and it was here she achieved her
first success by singing, Il Can't Do
This Sum-" in Babes in Toyland."
She will also be remembered for her
ldelineation of the character of the
Blue Mouse. in Clyde Fitch's play of
that name.
Her last appearance was in "Lulu's
Husband from which she retired in
December.
The fact that Miss Barrison was
not permitted to receive friends prior
to her departure for the south is re-
sarded as an alarming symptom by
those familiar with her affair These
facts. together with the sudden south
jern trip and the concern her husband
has displayed confirm the fear tina,
she may never play again.
