DISTRESS IN KOREA.
A Movement to Send There a Ship Loaded
With One Thousand Barrels of Flour.
WASHINGTON, Aug. '10. — Secretary
Gresham has received from The Christian
Herald'of New York on application for a
government ship to transport 1,000 bar-
rels of flour to Korea. This is the first
notice the department hasghad that any
unusual measure of distress and depriva-
tion exists in the kingdom. '
Assuming that it is true, the officials do
not see how so small a quantity of grain,
which the Koreans scarcely know how to
use, will be of much avail in a population
of about 10,000, 000 people. To complicate
the situation, it is said that the Chinese
and Japanese soldiers now occupying
Korea are generally living on the country,
so that any supplies sent to the people
might fall finally into the hands of the
foreign soldiery. '
Secretary Gresham has not 'ryetdisposed
of the application, and it will certainly be
difficult to comply with it. The only war
vessel ready for service at San Francisco
is the Charleston, and vessels'of her class
are not adapted to the carriage of freight
on long voyages when all spare room is
needed for coal. There is a precedent for
such action in the case of the Constella-
tion, which carried a cargo of potatoes to
Ireland to relieve the famine stricken peo-
ple, but she was a large sailing vessel and
An eflort
was made during the Russian famine to
secure a war vessel to carry over supplies
from the United States, but so unsuitable
were the craft found that the plan was
abandoned, and a regular freight steamer
was chartered for the trip.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 10.-—-The rebellion
against the enforcement of sanitary laws
bearing on smallpox cases has 'assumed
alarming proportions in this city. The
seat of war is the south side, and particu-
larly in the Eleventh ward, where the iso-
lation house is located. The authorities,
health officials and several aldermen were
busy holding conferences and attempting
to formulate some plan whereby the laws
might be properly enforced. -
One official said that the situation was
more serious than the majority of people
imagined. ‘
Assured of police protection, the health
department van, with a crew of six health
officers, proceeded to the house of Ferdi-
nand J. Butler, at 7 36 Muskego avenue,
where a child was Suffering from the dis-
ease. The appearance of the van was the
signal for the sounding of an alarm, and
within 10 minutes there was a mob oi
fully 2,000 people on the scene. There
were loud cries and threats, while a few
stones were thrown,but before much dam-
age could be done a squad of police or-
rived. .
:0ch Charged the Police.
The health officers broke in the door
of the house and soon placed the sick
child in the van. The crowd then made a
determined charge, and the police would
have been overpowered had not a patrol
wagon filled with officers arrived at this.
critical juncture. Guarded by flurgc
detail of police, the van passed through
the mob and started for the hospital, pur-
sued by the crowd.
Good time was made, and the little pa—
tient was safe in the hospital before the
leaders of the mob reached there. But
more trouble followed, the rioters threat-
ening to overturn the van. Stones were
thrown and clubs brandished, but the po-
lice finally succeeded ln getting the health
officers and their conveyance safely
through the mob.
A, mass meeting was held attended by:
fully 3,000 people, a great many of whom
were women. A number cf inflammato-

A GIRL’S MISTAKE. ’
Written for New York Press Association.
I am alumber dealer; name, Edward
Rogers; age, 28 years; residence, New
York City. I am a. practical man, and my
energies have mainly been devoted to
building up a. trade. Society, and es-
pecially woman’s society, has been some-
what wearisome to me, and small talk
has given me smaller pleasure. Not that
a. pretty woman was ever seen with abso-
lute indifference, when I realized that I
saw her and that she was a. pretty woman,
but I had never been particularly im-
pressed by any one as an individual.
Pretty women afiectcd me as a class.
They pleased me by the thousand, as I
sold panel pine and hemlock rafters.
That was my condition, fully and ac-
curately described, on the fourth of June,
in the year, eighteen hundred and ninety-
four; and I think I was a little proud of
it. “Look you now, what follows,” as
the Melancholy Dane remarked on a more
tragic, and possibly more dramatic, oc-
casion. '
The fourth aforesaid came on Monday,
and that being a. favorite day for my out-
of—town trips, I took the afternoon train
for \Villiamsport, where I had a lumber
contract to look after. The trip was as
dull as a. British joke, so dull that I al-
most laughed at the sorry witticism of a
man who said to his neighbor just as we
were going :into the town: “Poor Wil-
liamsport! it had a great boom for years,
but it is gone now, yes, quite gone—and a.
hundred million feet of good pine and
hemlock logs went with it.”- The man
laughed heartily, so heartily, that I knew
he did not live in the flood-swept town
whose watery desolation furnished ‘a.
basis for what he seemed to think was a
very dry joke. '
It was a little after: eight o’clock when
the train stopped at the station, and I
stepped down and started along the plat-
form in the direction of my hotel. There
were, as is usual, 3. number of people
waiting for friends, and I especially noted
a daintily gowned girl who was standing
with her face turned away from me, evi-
dently watching the other exit of the car.
As I came Opposite to her she half
turned, and on seeing me, gave a. little
cry of recognition, which was followed by
a. dash at me, a swift encircling of my
neck with her arms, and three or four of
the most genuine kisses I had ever en-
countered. TO say Iwas duml'ounded with
surprise but feebly hints at my condition.
I was simply overwhelmed with delicious
astonishment. And so was she—the ad-
jective, however, omitted.
It is probable that her caress was not
reciprocated with the expected fervor, for
sh'c suddenly stepped back, and after a.
quick look at me, turned away with a
confused, “Oh; I thought it was Fred!”
and fled to a carriage. \Vhat instructions
she gave the driver I did not know, but
the time he made as he'dashed away from
the station would not have discredited
the best team that commands admiration
in Central Park. She was evidently in a.
hurry, and if “Fred” was on that train
he would go home alone and unkissed~a
fact that, somehow, gave me deep but
entirely illogical pleasure. I was not
jealous of the unknown, that is, not ex-
actly jealous, but what I felt could be
suitably expressed by a milder word that
means pretty much the same thing. It
seemed to me that “Fred” was a highly
favored individual, and with this idea.
came a dash of wonder as to whether he
deserved his good fortune. This wonder
was not definitely settled, but the ten-
dency toward a negative decision was
strong.
In the hotel that night my thoughts
turned with perplexing frequency toward
the platform episode. The big brown
eyes, frank and brave even when their
owner was confused, the fair face with
fine white brow and delicate chin, the soft,
brown hair, and, above all, the impulsive
and unaffected tenderness of her caress
made an impression that 'I could not get

I stayed in VVilliamsport a. week, and
transact-wt four hours" business. For
three days I had a new vocation (that
word,-if you. please, is used advisedly and
correctly). I was an explorer, :1. discover-
er, and I discovered. By attending every
meeting in behalf of the flood sufferers,
and by driving around amongathe people
who most needed help, my search, which
was at once complimentary to her charac-
ter and to my sagacity, was successful.
She was found. She was unmarried; and
Fred was only a. brdther. An introduction
was secured through a friend who was
one of the most frequent visitors at her
home, and them—well, then trouble he-
gan. Those three or four kisses—I be c
it was four, but am not sure—were a. g
handicap. Esther, (perhaps Miss Gray-
son would be better at this time) greet-
cd me with perfect frankness, no lblush,
no start, absolutely nothing to show that
she recognized in me the fortunate recipi-
ent of Fr‘ed’s kisses. But she did, and
that made it hard for me.
There was only one way for me to go,
tIld that one way was to show her that I
was everlastingly and irrecoverably in
love with her. If there was any failure
in this showing it was not apparent to
those who saw me make the effort.
'»In,the work among the destitute poo'r,
where Esther was tireless, I found a fine
.iel‘d for altruistic love-making, in the
course of which’I made a reputation for‘
generosity and capacity that was utterly
unearned.‘ She wanted it done, and that
was enpugh. I could carry clothing and
help' fix up houses twenty-five hours a
day if she looked on approvingly, and she
generally did, although nOne of my other
acts.seemed to meet her approval except,
perhaps, my good-by when I took the
train for New York. ,
at e s s as a ,
Esther and I will be married before the
year is out. She doesn’t know it, for I
haven’t, in words, told her that I love
her,‘ and nothing would now induce her
to own that she looks even with favor on
me. But. she does, and I don’t believe she
regrets those kisses of mistake any more
than she forgets them. ‘ .
