Great Plague Of London.

Medical authorities agree that tn,
epidemic which prevailed in London
in 1865 was what we now call bu
bonic plague. 1t is well known that
this Black Death" was prevalent in
various parts of the world in ancient
times. The outbreaks we're peculiarly
violent then by reason OF the condi
tions OF poverty and the almost total
absence OF sanitation. 1t was the an.
cient medical writer's who gave 1t the
name OF the plague.
The mortality in London in 1865
was appalling. Thousands were swept
away by the dread malady, and there
was a great exodus from the stricken
city. Some Of the medical authorities
thought It had been brought into Lon.

ly left his seat, the count disappeared
from his box and. while the curtain
was lowered, the subscribers rushed
to the door that led behind the scenes.
The rest of the audience waited amid
