This department was located a basement, but the “bargains,” though >ubt!ess very inviting, did not constitute , t . most interesting or instructive part of le exhibition. The sight of fifty girls work g iu a long, low room at a temperature of io unmodified by anything that could ho (Ued a circulation of air, entirely took ivuv my attention from the bargains. It Bs too painfully apparent that these poor Iris were driven to a very hard bargain hen they were obliged to barter beauty, nolth and comfort for $5 or SO a week, and lc consciousness that they were earning an Diiest living. Such necessary commodity I an honest living ought not to be obtained tso terrible a price. Henry George and iveral others know how it could all ho deviated, or think they do, but in tho leantime, before the millennium conics, line tens of thousands of honest and in- Istrious people right here in New York lifer during tho hot months of tho year scomforts for which their existences, leugli less tortured for the other nine nntris, seem hardly an adequate compen- If'aiiy or all the fifty young gills above tferred to had fainted and fallen upon the tier it would not have surprised me in the ast. They all looked as if such an event >ul<i not be much longer postponed. One ! them informed me that her own endur tce of such conditions was a daily miracle l herself. “Especially in the afternoons,” she said, It doesn’t seem to mo as if I could stand up jy longer.” “Why don’t you sit down?” I inquired. “Oh, I don’t dare to do that,” she answer- J. “It isn’t allowed: It’s against the rule, should lose iny place.” I called her attention to the fact that Here was a law of the State which required Hat girls employed as she was should have chance to sit down when not actually at rork. AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE. “I know it,” she saiil, “but what differ ence does the law make? It can’t prevent tny being discharged if I’m not wanted any more, and that’s wliat would happen if 1 was seen to sit around much. I’ve seen girls try it and 1 know. There's the floor walker ol this department over there now. IShe's got her eye on me." I turned about after an interval dictated by caution, and saw a tall, slender, severe luoking woman standing not far off. She was about So years old, and was unhealthy to a degree eminently in keeping with her surroundings, I learned that she had boon a long time there and had worked up from a counter to her prese-nt exalted position, which pays her #l3 a week. This woman was not likely to practice the virtue of clem ency, having never seen any visible mani festation of its existence. Continuing my conversation I learned that this woman promptly reported misde meanors, which as promptly secured dis charge, for there is no dearth of workers. This information was not given with bitter ness, and was qualified with the charitable remark that if she didn’t she would herself be discharged and would probably have to begin at the bottom somewhere else, with the reasonable prospect of dying before sho got to be a floor walker agaiu. I also learn fa that the girls got a chance to sit down for about thirty-five minute* at lunch time, that they frcipiently fainted away in the store; ‘“at almost none could honorably choose except Itetween their present employment and starvation; and that (hero was another basement down alongside the furnaces which was hotter than that one. Like Dante in the infernal regions, 1 went on. The hotter place was there, but it was inhabited principally by men. From comparison with “ 1 urkish bath I should say that its tem perature was about 120'. The men worked there eight bom's a day, net, and I was not surprised to learn that one of them had been permanently removed from his position the previous day on a stretcher, lie was a man ho was not strong enough to stand such debilitating work und he knew it, but ho had a family to support and an insurance n his life, so, not finding any other placo to H a living, he labored industriously here he was.

I asked an official of the Health Board how many hundred men and women died every day in such places and was astonished to learn that only thirty-four deaths from t.ie heat hail been reported in the city dur nig the week, and licit those were of jier sons working out of doom. At the hospitals much the same report was given. The deaths were among day laborers and es pecially carpenters, bricklayers amt jsuiiters who work near a wall. There are manv patients in the hospitals who may or may not recover, and those ineludt#a great num ber who are overpowered without being really sunstruck. The hospital liooks fre quently contain the record “Alcoholism and Sunstroke,” which is equivalent to saying that the patient will die. In most case he is some poor bricklayer or painter who worked close beside a brick wall and who drank Inter to keep him cool, 1 asked an old physician why the records obi not show a greater adult mortality from the heat, and his reply, stripped of the sesquipedalian nomenclature of the profes sion, was that the heat did not actually kill the people, but aided and abetted certain diseases and natural tendencies to cause their demise. The death not only did not appear a-s the result of hot weather, but in the ma jority of cases did not even swell tho roll of mortality for the heated term. A woman employed in one of the “departments” of a great drygoods store might lie so debilitated by r the heat and bad ventilation that she would be prostrated by some illness, but she might not die until the next winter. At any rate, the specific disease would get the credit of it, though under proper conditions the woman might have lived to be old. TV omen especially', he said, were not suffi ciently educated in the laws of health to take tho proper precautions when working under such conditions. Judicious bathing, care in regard to clothing, scrupulous re gularity of habits, and a reasonable diet were good at any time, but become posi tively essential if one liasto spend ten hours a day in the infernal regions. They would conduce both to health and comiort. In conclusion he said: “Of course we can't help it if tho thermometer wants to go to W>° in the shade. We’ve got to bo be hot in the summer. The blame in such case, as you mention lies in the greed of men. These confounded omnivorous dry goods stores want to sell everything on tne face of the earth in a building big enough for all ordi nary purposes, but not for their enormous requirements. So the owner subdivides and spreads into the next building and the base ment and every little ill-ventilated hole he can find. He fills these dungeons with cheap trash, and putsa lot of poor girls into them to fry out their existence to the en richment of somebody whose only valuable quality is his tendency to grab everything in his reach. This is not peculiar to New York, but it reaches its highest development here.” Henry James. BOOTH’S AND BARRETT’S PLANS. Uow Thoytamc to Join Tlieir Forces and Make Money. Few men are more often spoken of in the atrical circles than Keene, the tragedian, whose career was brought to an abrupt stop about two years ago, by the entire loss of his voice. It was an awful blow, coming at the very height of fame and fortune. Most men would have been floored by it. Keene wasn’t. He is made of different stuff. Af ter a short period of amazement and stupe faction, during which he contemplated the bafiled and eerie effect of playing tragedy without speaking, Keene went after his voice. The vocal chords were coaxed and tutored and the general health of the actor carefully' looked after. This season he started out on a preliminary tour under the guidance of Mr. Ariel N. Burney, the clev erest of the y'ounger managers of tbo pro fession. and the results are extraordinary. All the tragedian’s powers have returned, and his extrusive study during tho two years of forced vacation has resulted in re fining his methods ar.d giving a polish to his work which it had formerly lacked. The courage of the man in tho lace of the most dismal predictions on the part of the doc tors and the gloomy forebodings of his friends was splendid. Keene is as popu lar as Booth or Barrett throughout the country, where his name is a household word, out in New York the public has not yet had a chance to become thoroughly ac quainted with him. It is on the cards, Ibe Have, to play Keene in New York for n term this, season, surrounded by tho best actors in town. It would create a _good deal of talk, for the supporters of Keene speak with unmitigated contempt of B - rett, when that gentleman is compared with the plucky actor who has just begun stage life anew. Speaking of Booth and Barrett reminds me that I recently beard the true version of the manner in which the former went under the latter’s management last season. Booth is notoriously' at sea in financial matters, lie knows absolutely nothing about money. Not long ago lie said that ho sat, down and figured out his check book and found that he had $13,000 on deposit iu the bank. Then he went over the book again and made out that he owed the bank $6,000. After this he made n third trial, was wound up in an awful snarl, gave it all up and went to bed. He went to visit Barrett at tho latter’s nlace in Cohasaot and in the course of a walk on the beach. Booth said he envied Barrett his skill in financial matters. “I otve half my success to it,” said Barrett ' |l “'amV I owe all my failures to the lack of it ” said Booth. "I would give a good deal for some of your knowledge of business lU “Whatever knowledge I have is always at vour service,” said tho other. “I have never agreed with the policy of your niana irors.” An agreement was struck up then and there Not a scrap of paper was passed be tween the two men. The receipts for the first nine weeks amounted to #IOO,IOO, anil when the season was over, it was( found tlmt So earnings were $362,600. Of this Bar rett’s share was about $60,000. It was by long odds the most successful season that Booth ever played. This trio of tragedians, Keene Barrett and Booth, now have the field to themselves. All the lesser lights have lieeu put out.

VACCINATION FOR YELLOW FEVER A French View of the New Remedy From the Journal dex Debate. In IS, SO, when the value of the discovery of M. Pasteur was beginning to he appreci ated, M. Domingos Ereire, of Rio do Janeiro, conceived the idea of trying inoculation against yellow fevor. Nevertheless, it was not until 1888 that he received from the Brazilian government an official commission for the study of the sub ject. We have already noticed, at the time, the researches of M. Freire (Causeries Sci entifiques, 1884). Since that time the savant has pursued his work. For one reason or another the report was circulated in France that the experiments of M. Freire had completely failed, and had been classed with the anti-cholera vaccina tions of Dr. Ferran, of Tortosa. The re port was false, and it is now required of us to render complete and entire justice to the science, to the ability and to the persover unce of M. Domingos Freire. The official documents show at once that the inoculations undertaken by M. Freire have produced results extremely remark able. Iu all the organs in tho blood, in all the liquids of the subjects of yellow fever, there exists a characteristic microbe tho eripto coccusxan to genieus. This microbe is (aerobic) like the red globule, and is engaged with the latter in a fight for existence in which the globule nearly always succumbs. This microbe exists in diverse phases in the blood. M. Freire lias isolated them and ob tained them by simple culture. Their action has been tried upon the monkey and the dog, upon chickens and pigeons, hut none of these animals contracted the yellow fever. But upon the rabbit and tho cobaye (a rodent) the result was very different; the virus communicated the malady to them, and they took the fever in an atmosphere which simply held the microbes in suspen sion. Tho poison is transmissible by inoculation direct, not only from the man subject to the cobaye, but also from the cobaye to the co baye. These facts established, M. Freire, in view of obtaining a preservative vaccine, searched for the means of obtaining a dimi nution of the virulent force of the cultivated microbes. He ascertained that this result would be obtained by a certain number of vacciua tions from cobaye to cobaye. This attenuated virus was tried upon ani mals without causing death. M. Freire tried it upon himself, then upon his assist ant and upon other subjects who offered. The first inoculation of the attenuated virus was then made in Brazil, and the troubles following the injection have uniformly Ixxri insignificant—a little headache, lassitude and febrile reaction These were the preliminary studies; now we will present the results: In 1888-1884 an epidemic of yellow fever broke out in Rio Janeiro. M. Freire vacci nated ils persons before and during the epi demic. The number of persons not vaccina ted who died from it reached 850. Of the 418 vaccinated five died, and these five per sons belonged to the laboring class living in badly ventilated houses in the most insalu brious quarter of Rio and in the streets Where the mortality wi s eno-me us. Of the 650 not vaccinated before mentioned, who died of the fever, 577 were strangers recently from Europe and seventy-three only were Brazil ians. These figures clearly show the differ ence in receptivity between the acclimated and the unacclimuted. Of the 418 vaccinated by M. Freire 007 were also strangers, the remainder coming from the interior and in the same condition of receptivity as the foreigners —ns the in terior is rarely visited by the yellow fever. The first inoculations were made with the lancet; the folio wing year M. Freire adopted the hypodermic method. From January to August, 1835, the num ber of deaths from yellow fever among per sons not vaccinated was raised at Rio to *278, of whom 200 were strangers and 78 were natives (44 of the latter being born in tho city). During tho same period M. Freire vaccinated 3,051 persons; 2,186 natives and 805 strangers. Of these 2,186 natives 625 were infants belonging to strangers, and consequently possessing two conditions of receptivity which clearly placed them in the rank of strangers. On the date of Jun. 2, 1886, not a single one had succumbed to the disease. The immunity was absolute. Tho researches of Al. Domingos Freire singularly confirm the work of tho Freuch master. They richly merit reception as anew victory in the fight of man against disease. The yellow fever is very deadly, and is epidemic on both sides of the Atlantic in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Gulf of Guinea. In our colony of the Senegal it has at dif ferent times found many victims who can say that it will not soon be imported into Europe by the numerous lines of steamers established between our coasts and the American by the vessels which arrive nearly every day at our various ports. In Spain, from 1800 to 1828, more than 140,000 persons died from yellow fever, which was imported from Cuba. In the same way it appeared in France in 1860 at St. Nazaire, brought hy the ship Anne-Marie, coining from Stavana. Tho yellow fever may then lie as malignant in our climate as the Asiatic cholera and it fur nishes the motive for calling public atten tion the vaccinations of tho Brizilian savant. Long Eels. From the Neto York Evening Sun. “Talking about eels,” said Nathan P. Wells, of the Wagner Sleeping Car com pany, at the i-afayette Hotel the other night, “the largest ones in tho world grow in bake Champlain.” He was addressing his conversation to Col. John Fowler, a down-town lawyer, and a few years ago chief of stuff for Gen. Shaler. The Colonel hail just told a story about a big eel he had seen down at Nor ton’s Point, on Coney Island. Ho said the eel was considerably over two foot long. Col. Fowler prides himself oil his accuracy, lie is accurate especially as to statements. For this reason tho most outlandish yarns are told in his presence by his friends to draw him intoan argument to prove the ac curacy of the proposition. “How big do eels grow in Lako Cham plain?” the Colonel inquired. “Oh, they grow all lengths and tho lake is full of them,” Mr. Wells replied. “What was the biggest, eel you over saw there?” the Colonel asked. “Well, the biggest one I saw there this summer was eighty fret long, but I have heard of them, when it was a good sea son for eels, considerably over fOO feet long." “Eighty feet long, did you say?” said the Colonel in astonishment. “Yes, sir; and when 1 saw him he had his head out of water thirty feet and some small boys were whistling to him to come ashore and get some brood erumlis.” “I don’t believe that story," the Colonel said nervously. “I don’t care whether you believe it or not. It’s true, and I can prove it if you will give me time to get the Itttio boys down here. pshaw! you don’t know anything alxxit eels iu New York." The Colonel folded hw arms and looked ut Wi Ms u full minute, and then said: “Nate, I know you an* n truthful man and wouldn't tell a lie any quicker t.ivui George Washing ton, hut you have got to bring those little boys down hero before I will believe it. But I tell you what Ido bollevo. It is my treat. What will you take!” THE 6UMMER GIRL AT THE BEACH. Gossipy Notes About People and Their Doings. New York, July 85. —Anew spirit animates the summer girl at the beach. She lias taken a fresh departure and h< r tactics add zest to life at Asbury Park. In the big caravansaries of hotels she is ns she was last summer and the sum mer before that, and as she will be next summer, and for aught one knows world without end, amen. She wears her em broidered muslins and her point d’ esprit gowns; she is radiant in cream twilled flan nel, and in all manner of delicate afternoon tea effects. The colors of the rainbow are in her parasol. She is charming, and if well directed labor can accomplish it she will continue charming. The cottager is not hampered by hotel re strictions. The cottage girl belongs to a class that does as it pleases at home, and accordingly it does as it pleases at the sea shore. The summer girl of the cottage has established anew set of August conventions. She takes her idea from her brother, I sup pose. What an incongruous couple young man and timid have been in Augusts of past veara. He in flannel shirt, chocked or per haps blue, in battered looking knickerbock ers, as if his bicycle had rolled him twice a day in the dust, in cloth cap or rusty hel met; she dainty, spic and span, just out of the modiste’s Hands. This summer she lays down the law that if she is not athletic she must at least look as if she wore, and seem to be getting the full value of her vacation time. Ixices and soft figured French goods. Not any for her this month, not by day light at least. To be up with tho times she must have some sort of a red or brown felt hat without trimming, not too new. A blouse waist is in regie, or a Norfolk jacket, or, as the utmost latitude permitted,a belted jersey with a rough and ready effect. A short undraped skirt of some rendy-for-all that-eomes, though not necessarily unpic turesque, material and high boots made for this especial service complete the new outfit that one begins to see on the sands. This year’s type of summer girl wears no gloves. She likes to get her hands browned. She doesn’t seem to object to a freckle, regard ing it as a diploma of graduation from tho best summer school. Taking it all in all, the more unconventional her garb tiie better it suits the new summer conventionalities. Girls vie with each other in this as in all other dress fancies they take up, and if they don’t play tennis or pull a boat one whit more energetically than they did last year, they could if they liked, which in the inter ests of out of door living is at least some thing gained. a brave little woman. A daintily clad little woman— she was one of the best operators as well as the prettiest —whom I had noticed several times in a down town typewriting office, was missing from her desk the other day. The plump, prosperous looking head of the establish ment smoothed down some rebellious red dish-brown locks, as she explained, to an ac companying clatter and bang, as if the whole alphabet were out on a spree. “I didn’t expect to keep her long,” she said. “She came to me a year a ago to learn the business, and her mother—she wore dia monds —came with her half apologizing for the daughter’s whim. Tho two of them wore gowns that turned the heads of the whole office, and looked as if they had money enough and to spare. It turned out when I was in my new apprentice’s confi dence a little that she was engaged to a law student—an impecunious one—and they wanted to marry ns soon ns ho was admit ted to the bur. ‘Papa’ had a!ilutely re fused his consent and ‘mamma’ frowned on the whole thing. Bo what does my lady do but get permission, without assigning any reason for the freak, to learn ty|xiwriting— she is studying shorthand toQ-dsavlug taken the i lea into her head that if she and her law student otiose to marry when the time came, she could support the family until the appearance of some fees. They had the knot tied a couple of duys ago, the household powers to tho contrary notwithstanding, and are taking a week’s holiday somewhere down on the shore. Bho told me she should be ready for work when she came back, and I think she will. She has been earning $7 u week and is about expert enough to get #lO now That will help them out for a while, though I fancy her hushand won’t leave her here long.” The next question in the matri monial market, some folks say, will be, “What is her salary?” or “has she had a raise of late?” caught in a storm. The month just past has been one of ex traordinary beat and has had more than the usual allowance of tierce winds and thunder storms—a combination calculated at once to drive many people to the seashore and to produce some comical complications nmong them ufter they get there. One day, at one of our big lx aches, a young la ly was in lathing, when she noticed a black cioud ris ing that seemed to promise wind and rain. Bhe made a dash for the bathing home, got inside, and was preparing to array herself, having taken off her wet, bathing clothes ax a preliminary, when bang come the wind and knocked tho frail bath house clean over. The girl gave a shriek, and hastily gather ing such of her clothes about her as she could collect ran through the rain for her rooms, a very moist and mortified being, if anybody hail had time in the blinding squall that followed to notice her. The same day, and at the same place, one woman got tie idea that all the buildings were going to blow over, so she threw herself fiat on tho sand with the rain pelting full on her un protected head till the storm was over. There are graver aspects of the situation than there. There has never been a month, probably, when travel was more uncom fortable and dangerous, the cars more crowded, tempers more fragile, profanity more common. A Coney Island train on u sweltering hot Bundav at the rush hours gives an observer a pixir opinion of Immun ity if at all inclined to pessimism. In tho history of the country there have been few more sickly and fatal months. Babies have died by tho thousands everywhere, and older people much more rapidly than in reasonable weather. Mothers have been turned back from tho sick children’s float ing hospital excursions with their babies in their arms because tho little sufferers pore so far gone that they would die before the return. There has lieen a constant proces sion of little white hearses to the ceme teries, and bereavement rests on countless squalid tenements throughout the city. hnappeij up hy a professor. Harvard professors seem to have a matri monial eye on Wellesley. First Prof. Whitney, of the biological chair, carried off Miss Nunn, who was a most efficient pro fessor of biology at Wellesley, and was the first woman ever admitted by Huxley to the privileges of his science school on the Italian coast, and now President Alice Free man is snapped up by another Harvard man. If the trustees of Wellesley have any appreciation of the start the college has taken and the new standing it bus assumed under Miss Freeman's regime, they can do no less than appoint another woman iu her stead.
