Great Plague Of London.

Medical authorities agree that the
epidemic which prevailed in London
In 1866 was what we now call blu.
bonic plague. 1t Is well known that
this BLACK Death" was prevalent in
various parts Of the world in ancient
times. The outbreaks were peculiarly
violent then by reason Of the condi,
lions of poverty and the almost total
absence Of sanitation. It was the an
cient medical writer's who gave II the
name of the plague.
The mortality In London In 1865
was appalling. Thousands were swept,
away by the dread malady. and there
was great exodus from the stricken
city. Some of the medical authorities
thought It had been brought into Lon
don in bales OF merchandise coming
from Holland. which originally came
from the Levant; others contended
thst It was brought in BY Dutch pris-I
oners Of war.

PENNA. HAS WEALTHIEST
TOWNSHIP In THE WORLD

WILKESBARRE. Ps,, July 49,
That Hanover township is unques-
tionably the richest township in the
world in it's mineral wealth is evident
from the new assessment placed on
its coal and surface property by the
Board of County Assessors. Chief
Clerk Reese Lloyd has completed his
work of correcting the figures on the
values of coal and surface and the re-
suit is rather astounding. giving a
total valuation of 100000.
This increases the valuation from
the total of 1912 nearly s4o0OO,0Oo and
gives Hanover township s3.000,000
more in valuation than that of the en-
tire city of wilkesbarre in 1912. Pos
sibly $4,000, 900 of the new township
valuation represents the coal, which
is practically virgin coal and of
a greater total thickness than any
other coal basin in the anthracite re-
gion.
Until the new assessment of prop
.erty In Willxesb barre city is completed
Hanover township ranks as the
wealthiest municipality in the coun-
ty. wilkesbarre was given a total
valuation of about $54.000,OOO in 1912.
The county assessors and their clerks
are now at work on this city correct
ing their figures and data following
the hearing of appeals.

looked out for these details when
she bought the seats at down town

came off and smiles came on, as the
below-stairs inhabitants of Madame

scurried to their finery.
They were gone at length, after an
uncomfortable period, during which
Rosalie twice betrayed her nervous
ness by knocking at their doors and
reminding them that the time was
short. Another pause. The chimes
of the Metropolitan Tower rang the
hour of two. At the first stroke,
Rosalie, as one who finds relief in
action. ran down the basement steps
and opened the back door. Inspector
Martin MCGEE, dressed in plain
clothes and carrying a small bag,
was waiting outside.
"All set?" he asked under his
breath.
"Everything's ready" replied
Rosalie as she led the way across
the basement.
But Inspector MCGEE stopped her
at the stairway.
