Oct. 24.—The outbreak of bile bonic plague at Vienna due to the ex- periments in Professor Nothnagle’s bacteriological establishment in the cultivation of the plague bacillus, has spread terror at the Austrial capital. Five cases, in addition to that of the late Herr Barisch, the assistant in the establishment who contracted the bu- bonic plague, 11.111e cultivating the beca- illus, have no v occui red. They are two r1111 ses in the laboratory another of the assistants, Herr Bar's: isch’s wife, and Dr. Mueller, the phy- sic-Ian who attended Herr Barisch. The last sacrament of the Roman Catholic 01' .rch were administered to the latter a .1 to one of the nurses by a priest 1 rough a window of the plague cells. Dr] Mueller was cons sidered an autho- :ty on the plague, having been to ‘10mbay for the purpose of studying it on the spot, and he survived all the dangers there. The disease at Vienna has assumed a pneumonic form. There are no boils, but each case is accompanied by high fever and blood spitting. Extraordinary precautions have now been taken to prevent an epidemic. The plague patients no in an isolated build- ing, attended by Dr. Pooch, a. volunteer physician and by Sisters of Charity. They are surrounded by a rope, across which nobody is allowed 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 Sisters of Charity in a similar manner, and the nurses furnish accounts by telephone of all changes in the'patients’ condition. Every person who came in contact with Herr Barisch, principally the hospital attendants, has been isolated. Some of them resisted and others tried to escape, but were captured and all . were locked up. 1 It is feared, however, that the pre- cautions were taken too lAte. Herr Barisch was 111 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 symptoms, visited friends, ’rode in public omnibuses and came in contact with dozens of persons at her husband' 5 funeral. 1 Te excitement in mrdical circles is 3 tremendous. The well known chemist, Professor Hofrotz Ludwig, has made a pathetic speech, during which he ex- ressed the hope tha the doctors of lzienna will prove themselves equal to 11.11 emergencies. This reveals the fact that it is the opinion of medical men at the Austrian capital that the plague is likely to spread in that city. Another significant indication of this apprehension is found in the fact that a temporary hospital consisting of sev- eral detached sheds was hastily erect— ed during last night behind the Infec- tions Hospital. One hundred men worked by torch— light there in Qrder to complete it as quickly as possible. A painful feature of the Viennese sit- uation is the unscrupulous attitude of the anti—Semitic newspapers, which are accusing the Jewish doctors of bring- ing the plague to Vienna. , It is feared that this appeal to the worst passions of the mob will lead to plague riots against the Jews if the disease. spreads. Chili and A tgentinu. Valparaiso, Chili, via Galveston, Tex, Oct. 24.—-The Chilian and Argentine governments have arrived at the fol— lowing agreement: The arbitration commission will be composed of five members of each country, who will assemble at Buenos Ayres to solve the Puna-Atacama pro- blem. The discussion must be finished in a few sittings. In case of disagreement one of the foreign ministers resident at Buenos Ayres will be requested defi- nitely to solve the matter. It is said that Argentine proposed the Uruguayan or Italian minister and that Chili proposed United States Minister Buchanan. Spain Faces Another Crisis. M drid, Oct. 24.—The newspapers here regard a ministerial crisis as im— minent and they urge the ministers to sink their differences, in view of the many difficulties of Spain. Several of the papers violently at- tack Senor Gamazo, the minister of public instruction, for resigning and thus complicating the situation. Speculation was caused by the hold- ing of a long conference between the queen regent and General Polavieja, former governor of Cuba and of the Philippines.

Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the . is- coverer and founder of 0h1istian‘ sci- ence, and interpreter of the Bible ac- cording to its precepts to 600, 000 per- sons, to-lilay breaks her long standing rule and permutsgih-e publication of an interview in the Sunday World Mrs. Eddy lives in Concord, 1 .H.. which has thus become the shrine and center of the Christian Scientists faith. Her home is a fine place 011 the outskirts of the city and is called “Pleasant View.” Every day she makes: her appearance in an open car- ri-.01age, ,in bad weather, in one which the natives call "the glass uarl‘iage,’ £10111 its peculiar construction. No one in Concord, not even the gover'nm of the state, is an object 01 so much interest to visitors as Mrs Eddy Hei daily drive is taken along' such a regular route that 1the pee-pit who gathei to see 1191 pass would be disappointed if it were varied.

Those of them who are fortunate enough 01' sufiiciently pemistent to meet her in her own home, see her 111111: with buoyant step and hear 11e1 talk with vivacity. “Even when I was a‘ child my life was different,” said Mrs. Eddy in 1111 interview. “There were strangs things in it; strange things happened to my mother before my birth. Once a min- ister, a good old soul, held me to his side and told my mother she ought to consecrate me to God. “When I was very little I used to hear voices! They called me. They spoke my name, ‘Mary! Mary-1’ I used to go to my mother and say, ‘Mother, did you call me? What do you want?’ And she would say: ‘No, child, I didn’t call. you.’ Then I’d go away. to play, but the voices would call again distinctly. “There was a day when my cousin, whom 'I dearly: loved; was playing with-me, When she too heard the voices. She said: calling you, 1111151311111 When I did not go I cou1d hear than again. But I knew that it wasn’t mothei. My cousin didn’t know what to make of my behavior, because I was always an obedient child. ‘Why, Mary,’ she repeated, ‘what do you mean by not going-‘2’ “When she heaid it again we went to my mother, and my cousin said. ‘Didn’t you call M-ary?’ My mother asked if I had heard voices and I said I did. Then she asked my cousin if she had ~ heard them, and when she said ‘Yes.’ my mother cried. She talked to me that night and told me when I heard them again, no matter where I was, to say ‘What wouldst Lard? Here 1211111 I.’ That is what Samuel said, you know when the Lord called him. She told me not to be afraid but surely answer. “The next day I heard voices again. but I was too fiig'htened to speak. I felt badly. Mother noticed it and asked me if I had heard the call again. “Ilien I said I was too fright- ened to say what she had told me to. she talked with me and told me 11111-1 next time I must surely answer and not fear. “W hen the voice came again I was in bed. couId, as she 1111-11 told me to do. and when I had spoken a curious light- ness came over me. I rememi‘rer ii: well. It seemed to me I was being 5 lifted off 'my little bed and I put 01:1; my hands and caught its sides. Mrs. Eddy illustrated the act in- stinctively. Her eyes and voice were trembling with emotion. “.11‘1'0-111 that time.” she went on, “1 never heard the voices. They cens- ed.” Christian science, as expounded by Mrs. Eddy, claims that the soul, t'hiough the power of God. triumphs ex 111 sickue es and death and performs miiacles y’ healing such as are re- lated in the Bible. It is described briefly as the Christianity of the Bible rediscovered. It ignores time. It takes no‘note of birthdays. Age is supposed to leave untouched such as , are in perfect health, as taught by Christian science. The movement has 600,000 follow- ers in this country and many profes— sed or unknm'vn in other lands. Its followers number many persons of great wealth and cultivation, who de- vote théir‘m‘eans and ability to spread- ing the faith. Their churches are ar- tistic and beautiful. Teachers and readers are surrounded always by beauty and by evidences that the science never lacks for money. Twelve years ago Mrs. Eddy with- drew from the center of the world of Christian science, which she had lo- cated in Boston, and retired to Gen- cord, N. H., to finish a book which she was writing. This book, called “Science and Heaiflh,Wi1bh Key to the Scriptures,” is the text book of the denomination. One hundred and for- ty thousand copies are in circulation already. The Bible and book are the “ordained pastor” of the 300 churches. A few years ago Mrs. Eddy abolished the personal ministers of the Church of Christ, and the “Bible and book" was installed in their place. On‘ the cards of the churches this phrase 111-. ways follows the name of the church: “Pastor, ‘the Bible, Science and 'Healiih, _with Key to the, Scriptures.” There are no sermons from the “readers,” who always number two in every church.’ The service in all churches is- identical each Sunday. The first reader, a man usually, gives a verse from the Bible.

How He Rewarded the Sentry for Helping Fix the Stovepipe. At a little village on the Susquehan- na- River I' met an old soldier, who re- lated this incident of his experience with Gen. Meade in the late war. I have forgotten his name and the place where it occurred. It was a raw night in, October, the wind was rather strong, and Meade had fixed a stove in his tent. The soldier was the sen- try for the General. A puff of wind knocked down the improvised stove- pipe, and. soon the tent filled with smoke. The General came. out and asked the sentry to help him to rear- range it. The soldier replied that he was under orders and could not leave his post. “Yes, Meade. “that is yes.” said true, -but I would like to have that? . ‘ g1ve the word of command.

It is rumored in department head- quarters that there will be a rattling of dry bones at some of the older Western posts in the near future. As a result of the shake-up, predictions are that a number of them will be‘ stricken from the list of necessary stations and either sold at auction or turned over to the Indian service for agencies. Five years ago it was thonght the height of folly to think of abandoning any of the Arizona military posts, 1 which are in the region infested with . Apaches, but to- -day it seems to be _the ésettled policy of the Government to make these men self-supporting, and therefore safe citizens. As rapidly as 1 the Dawes bill requirements are com- .plied with the Indians are admitted to the rights of suffrage. These 1e- quirements are “the severance of 1111 I tribal relationship and the adoption of the modes and habits of civilization.” 1 This will soon cover the whole Apache 1tribe,011ce so bloodthirsty, and it is ~ not improbable that the next 13 months Will see the abandonment of Forts Apache, Grant and Huachuca, in AriZoiia, and Wingate and Union. in New Mexico. The only reason why the Government keeps troops iii these God-forsaken regions now is because of fancied fear of the Indians. It is also the policy of the (3011111111- N ' ment to turn over all abandoned mili- tary posts in the Indian country to the redmen, to be used as agencies: thus, in Utah, can 'be seen the Onray agency, once the site of old Fort Roubidoux; in Montana can be seen the Fort Peck cantonm‘ent of that name, and in Ari- zona the Fort Defiance agency flour- ishes where once stood that sentinel- of 1the advance of fivilization west- 1 ward, Fort Defiance. In speaking of the Apaeles recently, ? Gen. Sumner said: “It is generally 1111;11- understood, this question of the Apa- 5 che Indians. They are generally look- ed upon as being bloodthirsty, fierce warriors.- 0n the contrary, I never dealt with easier Indians to handle. They are making as rapid strides to« ward civilization as any band in thei‘ United States, and no more need watching than many of the triba of the Indian Territory. The Utes are vastly more turbulent and trouble- some.” From this it can be seen that the prediction that the above-mentioned posts will soon be reminiscences has good foundation on logic; all of them are mainly maintained for the purpose of keeping the Apaches in check.— Denver Times. l'ino Behavior of the Rough Riders.
