FEARFUL MORTALITY III flic City of Havana From January tut to October 13th. A Washington dispatch says: Dr. Brunner lias just reported to the department a complete report on tlie mortality of Havana from January 1 to October LI. His figures are enough to strike terror to the hearts of those contemplating visiting the city. Dr. Brunner’s figures deal only with the city proper. Military hospitals in the suburbs would add materially to the totals. t u"'spite of the fact that Havana was considered practically free from yellow fever this year, 18 died from that dis ease during July, 20 in August, 23 in September and 17 in the first 13 days of October. The increase of typhoid fever is startling, as shown by the fol lowing list; Fifty-seven in June, 87 in July, P27 In August, 13fi in September and 69 in the first 13 days of October.

ADDRESSES RAILROAD MEN. Pri’Uldent In Greeted FrithunlantJrully Bj ♦ h« Various Brotherhoods.

The crowd that has followed him every time he has appeared in public was with him to tlie laBt an<1 it required the efforts of 150 policemen . to restrain the throng which packed the depotto suffocation. Just as the train pulled out the president appeared on the rear plat form of the last ear and bowed re peatedly as the crowd cheered him. The president spent much of the day in rest and receiving friends of the McWilliams family. After luncheon he proceeded to the First regiment armory to address the railroad men. The armory was gayly festooned and the galleries were hidden behind the folds of “Old Glory.” The president a PP ea J’ e ‘l npou the east end .of the main balcony and spoke briefly to the aBgem bled railway men, who repre sented every branch of the service.

DOCTORS „ mm CMTRACT IT WHILE EXPERIMENTING. THE EXCITEMENT IS TREMENDOUS. It X* Feared that the Bcourge Will Gain a Firm Foothold in Austrian Capital. A cable dispatch from Vienna, Aus tria, says: The outbreak of bubonio plague at Vienna, due to the experi ments . . cultivation of .... the plague , ba in cillus, has spread terror at the Aus trian capital. Three cases in’addition to that of the late _ Herr _ Bansch. . , the . assistant in the establishment who contracted the bubonic plague while cultivating the bacillus, have now occurred. They are two nurses in the laboratory, an other of the assistants, Herr Barisch’s wife, and Dr. Muller, the physician who attended Herr Barisch. Dr. Muller died Sunday morning. He was considered an authority on the plague, having been to Bombay for the purpose of studying it-on the spot, and he survived all the dangers there. The disease at Vienna has as sumed a pneumonic form. There are no boils, but each case is accompanied by high fever and blood spitting. Ex traordinary precautions have now been takon to prevent an epidemic. The plague patients lie in an iso lated building, attended by Dr. Pooch, a volunteer physician, and by Sisters of Charity. They are surrounded by a rope, across which nobody is allow ed to pass Dr. Pooch writes the prescriptions and fastens them to the window pane. The doctors outside read them and have them made up. Then the pre scriptions are placed on the window ledge, whence they are removed by those inside. Food is conveyed to the patients and their attendants by Sis ters of Charity in a similar manner, aud the nurses furnish accounts by telephone of all changes in the pa tients’ condition. Every person who has come in con tact with Herr Parish, principally the hospital attendants,have been isolated, some of them resisted and others tried to escape, but were captured, and all locked up. It is feared, however, that the pre cautions were taken too late. Herr Parish was ill for three days before he saw a doctor, during which time he lived with his wife and visited wine shops. The wife, who has now developed suspicious sympsoms, visited friends, rode in public omnibuses and came in contact with dozens of persons at her husband’s funeral. The excitement in medical circles is tremendous. The well known chem est, Professor Hoffroth Luding, has made apathetic speech, during which he expressed the hope that the doc tors of Vienna will prove themselves equal to all emergencies. This reveals the fact that it is tho opinion of med ical men nt tho Austrian capital that the plague is likely to spread in that city. A painful feature of the Viennese situation is the unscrupulous attitude of the anti-Soinotic papers, which are accusing tho Jewish doctors of bring ing the plague to Vienna. It is feared that this appeal to the worst passions of the mol) will lead to plague riots a : ,jinst the Jews if the disease spreads. ASSESSMENTS FORBIDDEN. Tho Civil Service Commission Inaugurates a Vigorous Campaign* A Washington dispatch says: The civil service commission is making a vigorous campaign against political assessments of federal officials and employees in view of the approaching elections, and in addition to its own circular, has brought out au order from the postoffice department, to be followed by one from the treasury, looking to its full enforcement. Acting Postmaster General Heath has issued au order calling attention to the com mission circular and directing all postmasters to sign, post conspicu ously nnd “use every means to direct the attention of their subordinates” to it. MURDEROUS HUSBANDS. Two Jealous Men Kill Their Wives and Then Commit Suicide. Two jealous husbands killed their wives nnd themselves in Jersey City Sunday. Henry Jones shot his wife to death and then sent a bullet into his own brain at their home on Van Horne street. The police had hardly completed their investigation aud sont the bodies to the morgue when five shots were heard in a fiat house on Montgomery street. Garrett French, a Pennsylvania railroad locomotive engineer, had mortally wounded his wife and wound ed himself so badly that he died. KAISER' IN CONSTANTINOPLE. German Kmperor Accompanied by the Empress Seeing the Sights.

Interesting Details About Lite with tbe Skip’s Crew. oPrTKr-SKrS S our navy, Is Inclined to take it as a matter of course that we should have won, and, perchance, does not realize of what sterling stuff our naval he roes are made, nor how many long and tiresome days must have beeu spe'nt at study aud drill before meu can be rounded out into a good, fight ing, naval force. At the same time, It is not to be won dered ut that the average person knows very little of the difference in rank of officers, of their duties, of their rigid training, and of the hard ships of the service before the world evcr 0 f their modest efforts In the performance of (he usual monoto nous dally routine of duty. There are also many interesting do tails and points of interest In connec tjoI1 wlth tlu , lift . of t ) le members that constitute the more numerous part of the personnel of the ship’s crew, viz.: *be tile of the navy, gtltufe t , )e „ raln8 nnd the dlrict lng powcr of the s jiii> being for the pres ent disregarded, the rest of the crew consist mainly of seamen, marines, machinists, carpenters and landsmen. The Inst named includes all nurses, inessengers, and nil boys and men who are empoyed at duties that can be performed by men without previous training on seagoing vessels. These men are enlisted for a term of years, and receive usually the smallest pay of all on board. The duties of carpenters and machin ists need no explanation, and these men also go In under enlistment, after having passed a searching examina tion covering all details in the depart ments in which they wish to serve. The marines are what might be cal ed the “infantry of the navy,” and act as guards on board ship. They are usually not more than fifty of them on any ship In regular service. They wear a uniform very much similar to that worn by the men of tlie artillery branch of the army. They are usually the first of the ship’s crew to make a landing, in ease men are needed ashore from the ship.—Frank Leslie’s Popu lar Monthly. Buddhism in Burmah. Some sailors on board of her ma jesty’s ships at Rangoon obtained leave of absence to go into the inte rior and lost their way. A short time afterward they were brough back by some Burmans, who had fed them and showed them the way home. The Burmans immediately returned to their village, and though the then chief commissioner, the late Sir Charles Ait chison, endeavored to find them in or der to reward them, I believe he never succeeded. It caused a good deal of comment in Bangoon at the time. I think it is interesting, as showing tlie effect of the teaching of Buddha, and how It saves the Burman from that “lust of gain” which, as you say, “has taken so strong a hold of our civiliza tion,” though I sometimes found it In convenient living in a land where the people are so utterly indifferent to money.—London Spectator.

[ “When first 1 read ot that otoel truss In the Brooklyn Bridge buckling," said a civil engineer and bridge builder, "X thought it might have been due to la tlgue as much as to the expansion of tUe cable. ‘•Fatigue? Why certainly. The ca pacity for becoming fatigued by ex* ertion does not entirely belong to bodies animate. There are many inan linate things, including iron and steel, which grows fatigued (temporarily sapped of vitality, the same as your self after a hard bit of work), aud lose much of their strength and elasticity through long continuous subjection to stress or vibration. But If they are a! lowed to rest for a while these metals recuperate and recover their original strength and dependent virtues. ‘‘Tests conducted With great care and accuracy, with full-sized bridge members and various other eomrner eial forms of steel and iron, have been made, and have so thoroughly proved this observation of fatigue in inanl mate things that it is generally affeept ed by members of my profession as a positive and Well understood law. The effect of constant vibration upon steel and iron is to cause fatigue and weakening of the metal. An English engineer of high authority years ago called attention to the fact that iron wires kept in torsional oscillation dur ing the week behaved very differently after their Sunday's rest." Snake Trick in a Church. Albert Miller, a colored coachman for I). L. I’ulUam, of Richmond, Va., was recently bitten In the face by a moccasin snake. Frank Nelson’sslngers gave a concert at Zion church, in Man chester. Miller announced that he was a snake charmer and desired permis sion to display his power over the rep tile he had in the box, which was a dry land moccasin, three feet long. He went on the stage and handled his pet for some time. The last feat was to put the head of the snake in his mouth aud bite down on its neck. The snake turned and stuck its fangs In the cheek of Miller. The man whirled and threw the snake from its face about twenty feet into the body of the church. When the audience saw the reptile flying through space there was a stampede, and the colored popula tion made for the doors and windows. The snake fell in the aisle and was killed.—Baltimore American. Beauty Is Blood Deep. Clean blool means a clean skin. No beauty without it.
