The Vaccination Fad.
"Why not vaccinate by forA, If nccevaryi"
Mnglianiton Herald.
IT IS "WELt, that the nervous Indi
vidual -who wrote the above Is
not at large aimed with author
ity that would enable him to
Htart out Ilka a. branding-Iron expert
on u Texas cnttlo ranch and vaccinate
till within reach, whether they desire
treatment or not. The hysterical Her
ald man la no doubt well awaro that
thero arc many persons who have Utile
fulth In the fjooi results of vaccina
tion; who believe that there la greater
diingcr In the system of treatment once
so popular than In the disease which It
Is calculated to prevent. It Is undoubt
edly true that In olden times scrofu
lous diseases have been disseminated
by vaccine virus. Now that nil repu
table physicians use the quills dittoed
In the bovine product this danger Is
lessened, yet In view of the Increase of
tuberculosis among cattle nil over the
country, there are thousands who
would prefer to take a chance with
smallpox, which Is no longer necessar
ily a fatal complaint, than to risk In
noculutlon with the most carefully pre
pared vaccine virus upon the market.
The talk that people, should be
vaccinated In order to protect their
neighbors Is all bosh. Vaccination Is
calculated to make the subject an Im
mune or get his system In condition
that will make an attack of smallpox
a trilling mutter. The worst cases of
smallpox can be contracted from light
uses of varioloid. The persons who
aiewllllnii to take chances upon small
pox should not 'be forced to undergo an
operation that they consider more dan
Kt'ious, under the Idea that they ate
thus Insuring the safety of their neigh
burs. While many will probably view with
Interest ex-President Cleveland's re
cent arstiments In favor of a change
of election methods and a longer term
for presidents, thero is not likely to be
general expression of regret that Mr.
Ck-veland'B last term ended on sched
ule time.
Hunt the Kidnappers.
THK ANNOUNCEMENT that
the city of Omaha has de
cided to take a hand In run
ning down the CuelahV kid
nappers will no doubt be received
with satisfaction everywhere. The sec
ond communication received by Mr.
Oudahy, In which the writers threat
ened to steal his other children In caBe
he dlil not withdraw the offer of (23,
000 reward for the captuie of the mis
creants, no doubt had much to do In
arousing the authorities of Omaha to
action. The city councils have offered
an amount equal to that which Mr.
Cudahy agreed to give and have taken
the case from his hands entliely.
There will now 'be no restraints placed
upon the police In the woik of hunting
the men who succeeded In getting a.
big ransom from the meat packer and
no expense will he spared In the mat
tor. The case will be regarded with In
terest In every locality and aid should
lie granted freely by the public wher
ever possible In following the slightest
clue that promises to lead to the dis
covery of this band of most nefarious
of criminals. The effects of the good
work accomplished some time ago In
tho enpture, conviction and Imprison
mont of tho kidnappers of baby Clark,
"St New York, will bo to a certain ex
tent Impaired If tho Omaha gang Is
Allowed to go unpunished. Brigandages
must not be allowed to gain a foothold
fn this country.
; Dignified silence upon the renewed
beef controversy on part of General
Miles will no doubt win golden opln.
Ions.
Philanthropy of 1900.
WHILE in many lands the
past year has been one
of .turmoil, strife and
bloodshed, and nt home
sharp competition and unusual meth
ods of activity In money-getting have
nt times had tendency to feed the
fancies of tlio chronic pessimist, a
bright side of the events of 1900 Is
presented In this country which tho
Ujitrlotlo citizen may contemplate with
.pride. The year Just closed hnsbeon
a year of philanthropy that leaves no
Joubt as to the generosity of a goodly
number of tho fortunate Into whefle
hands a kind I'rovldence has JntrustoM
tlys bulk of tho wealth of tho land.
According to data compiled by the
Chicago Tribune, tho benefaction! of
tho year In this country to educational
Institutions, libraries, churches, art
museums and charities amount to tho
princely total of $00,261,030. These As
ure.a represent the donations down to
the end of last week, and the totnl will
probably be somewhat Increased dur
ing tho present week. Tho sum men
tioned nbovo only Includes gifts of
$1,060 or moro In each case, so that It
tho smaller contributions, together
with those of which no records nrc
available, were added, the aggregate
would doubtless be many millions
more,
As compared with ISPS, when the
benefactions reached tho record
breaking total of $79,74?,93G, the re
turns for 1900 show a falling oft of
something like $19,000,000 or $20,000,000.
Hut, with the exception of 1S9P, when
the totnl was $'i0,000,000 grenter than
the average for each of tho ten years
pieccdlng, the returns for this year
are $32,000,000 greater thnn thoe for
any former year In our history.
While Philadelphia greeted the new
century with an elaborate electrical
display, which In some sections caused
the heavens to blnze with light, Scran
ton, the original Electric City, bowed
her head under lowered street lamps,
which blind the vision of tho nocturnal
oedestrian and make easier tho call
ing 6f tho skulking thug who waits In
the shadows for his victim. This cer
tainly seems one Instance of taking a
step In tho wrong direction.
Lake Superior Iron Alines,
THE TREMENDOUS expan
sion within half a century,
of the Iron and copper min
ing Industries of tho Lako
Superior district, says the Philadel
phia Ilecord, Is one of the most mar
velous and momentous industrial
events of tho century which has Just
ended marvelous because of tha
vast extent of the mineral deposits
and the amazing rapidity with which
their development has proceeded, and
momentous because In the Iron ranges
around the great lake may already
be dimly discerned tho seat of Indus
trial empire for many years yet to
come. It Is tho existence of these rich
deposits of Bessemer ores and their
practical concentration of Iron and
steel producing Interests that havo
given American machinery and
American inventive genius full play
In the markets of the world, until now
It Is admitted on nil sides that in the
pot distant future, tho undisputed
leadership in Iron nnd steel produc
tion, with tho mastery over allied
Industries which the term Implies,
will bo vested in the United States.
The figures of Iron ore output from
tho Lake Superior ranges con
vey, notwithstanding their magni
tude, only u partial and incom
plete Idea of the volume and sig
nificance of production In that quar
ter. The true meaning of a yearly
output of over 19,000,000 tons of Besse
mer ores, following upon an average
for tho past ten years of over 10,000,09'J
tons annually, is almost beyond com
prehension. But It Is clear enough
that such capacity for udding to the
tnatctlal resources of civilization Is
without precedent In history, and ot
enormous weight and value In the ac
count current of the American people
with the beneficent genius of pi ogress.
The age of steel has dawned fully
with the new century, and Its tri
umphs will be won most easily by the
purveyors and providers of steel for
all nations.
It should be noted, In connection with
any survey of this vast Iron mining;
industry, that the itch deposits on the
Canadian side of the lake have scarce
ly been touched as yet. The enormous
strides of the giant combinations In
this country which have heretofore
practically monopolized the output of
the district havo rendered Canadian
capitalists averse to entrance upon a
field of industrial effort which seems
at the present time to have been pre
empted by exclusive right. But this
sentiment of Incapability will sooner
or later pass away, and then, unques
tionably, will begin Canadian competi
tion with this country In tho Iron nnd
steel making Industry. As the years
shall pass and the Old World shall be
come accustomed to reliance upon
trans-atlantlc sources for supplies of
metallic raw material tho play of In
dustrial forces on either side of tlw
chain of great lakes nnd the.Bt. Law
icnce river will constitute a spectacle
of absorbing Interest to American
statesmen and students of national
economics.
In view ot the enormous annual re
quirements everywhere for steel of
various grades the prospect of an enily
exhaustion ot high grade ores In tho
Lake Superior field Is a matter of gen
eral economic concern. Under existing;
conditions of human activity the de
mand for steel and, hence, for high
grado Iron ores must constantly In
crease In even greater ratio than the
increase of population. Tho world ot
Invention is almost feverishly seeking
new uses for steel, and every success
ful device In a large field of human In
genuity Is contingent and dependent
upon a never falling supply of this
product. Should the oft-repeated fore
costs of early exhaustion of tho Mes
aba Bessemer ores be realized It might
become necessary to recast the entire
Industrial horoscopo of the Iron nnd
steel Industry In Ameilca during tho
twentieth century.
The last ambitious crltlo to como to
grief appears to have been Mr. Charles
Magee, of Philadelphia, who thought
to gnln notoriety by becoming Icono
clastic over the works of Jnmes Rus
sell Lowell. Mr. Magee succeeded In
gaining admission to tho Congress of
Philological and Archeologlcal soci
eties which had been in peaceful ses
sion In tho Quaker City and attempted
to enliven the meeting by reading a
paper on "Literary Manners of the
Nineteenth Century." The paper was
a vicious attack upon the vrltlne0; of
Poet Lowell, formerly president of tho
societies, whoso gems of thought were
characterised as "mere babblings."
The paper made a hit, but not In tho
way that was expected. Instead of
making indignant protests that would
arouse a controversy, tho majority of
tho audience made a stampede for tho
exits, while those who remained greeted
the efforts of tho crltlo with Immoder
ate laughter, and the young man was
finally obliged to retire, In confusion.
Aside from having his portrait printed
In tin local papers, Mr, Magee achieved
no fame from his nttempt to stir up
tho congress of thinkers.
Tho latest citizen to receive at
tention on account of having lived In
thrco centuries Is n. woman who halls
from Cincinnati nnd claims to be 122
years old. It Is evident from numer
ous reports from different localities
about the country that old people, or
liars, are rapidly Increasing In num
ber. The fact that the new emneror ot
China Is only fifteen years of ago
doubtless accounts for his ncccptanco
of the position. Past experience ought
to convince nny well-balanced Celostlnl
that official business In tho yellow
kingdom Is moro dangerous than foot
ball.
Nikola Tesla, tho electrical Inventor,
announces that he will explain a new
discovery at a wntch-meetlng In Chi
cago tonight. Nikola evidently does
not propose to leave anything for the
inventors of the twentieth century to
accomplish In tho line of electricity.
The recent Baltimore bank failure Is
about the only thing that has hap
pened to comfort Mr. Bryan since elec
tion. When France is short for excitement
it always has the Dreyfus case to fall
back on.

The Super's Revenge.
AMJPKIIKUMr.It.VRY In Klchard Mansfield's
company who had been, to u a Scotch
phrae, continuous and continually "neckled"
by the manager nt rehearsals and between the
acts for alleged dlnplajs of stupidity on the
tago was Informed that a near relative of hto
had departed this life nnd had left him a compe
tence, jo ho decided to leave tho dramatic pro
fession nnd, to quote him, become respectable,
relates the Chicago Chronicle. Defore leaving he
determined to take his revenge on Mansfield for
tho attacks on bis amour piopre that gentleman
hail nude.
The play was "Rlcluinl III." and the super
was one of the soldiers who leads away tho Duke
of Ilucklngham when the king orders Ids demise.
In due time ltlchard remarked: "Off with his
head!" and this was the super's opportunl). Ad
vancing, he touched lit helmet In the stylo of a
footman and replied loudly and genially:
"That'll bo attended to, old chap. Weil take
care of old lluck.Itil bo all right!" and re
tired gracefully. When the Infuriated Mansfield
came off (o commit murder ho found the super
had fled.
The Cost of a Duke.
A ORhK.SPO.NDKNT of London M. A. P. IcIH
a story of the Duchess of Montrose, whose
beauty is no less renowned than her philan
thropy. The scene was a hazuar where the due li
es was wiling photoguphs. One old Scotch
woman who was Aery anxious to secure .1 photo
graph of the duchessi but the price asked was
the shillings. The old woman hesitated. She
wanted the photograph, but could not well af
ford so much.
"You can have my husband." said the duchess,
with an amused glance at the duke, standing
near, "for two-and-slx-pence."
The vvould-bo purchaser looked at the duke
and then at his photograph contemptuously.
"Half-a-erovvnl" she blurted out. "f vvouldna'
ghe a silver saxpenco for him. Hut," she added
Insinuatingly, "I am right willing to give haul-a-eioon
for your bonnie scl"
The duchess was unable to resist this, and
hertolf added the o...ir half-crown to the bazaar
coders, or, as another version of the story goes,
the dc-plscd duke proflcrcd the balance.
Took Him In Tow.
FRANK LINCOLN, the cheery Ainciican humor
ist, who has been entertaining Londoners nt
the Palace, tells a capital story of the compul
sory hospitality he once received in one of tha
western states, relates London M. A. P. Arriv
ing on a bitterly cold winter day, he was met
nt the station by a grave, long-visaged Scotch
deacon. "You'll hap to bide wl' me. said tho
deacon. "Pray, allow me to stop nt the hotel,"
replied Mr. Lincoln, knowing by experience the
discomfort! of being "entertained."
"No! A the Iccturirs bide wi' me. You're
the foiulh. The bailiff cam doon on the first
Mie for the door filler. The second ane drank
we'll hae nae drlnkln' herd The third ane was
seen spcakln' to a stranger, n young leddy, on
the cars. Noo jou look a' llcht, but we're no to
take ony rlks. You'll bide wl" me, and I can

Then He Spoke Up.
COl'NSKL I InsUt 011 an answer to my ques

"You havo told me that jou said to him:
'Jones, this case will get into the court some

"Will, ho said: 'Drown, thcie isn't anjthlng

TEDDY.
Written for The Tribune
Seemed that all the sunshlno left the hou.e when
Teddy went,
Never gleamed 10 bright a beam as Teddy's black
eyes, sent.
Whether they flash In anger or glow with fervent
love,
Tin) 're the deaic.l eyes in all the world
The cjcj of the girl I love.
Oh, f, she's a girl, is Teddy, tho' she bears
such a qucciLli name;
She was christened Nell, but she and I like this
ono Jut the same,
A daughter of old Virginia; one of the fairest, too,
With a Jeweled mind that watches above,
A heart that is brave and true.
Dut, alasl Our northern winters were loo wild
for my Southern lttsc,
Aud she's gone sway to tlV southland, away from
Its winds and snows!
But I'll welcome her back in the sprlng-tlrae,
When the Iolet opens her ejej, and I'll count
tho time of her coming-.
Not by months, but bje and bjes.

" THE WORLD jtjjkjWjfi
ONE HUNDRED YEARS'
AGO TODAY", Jtjjjtj,
(Copyright, 1XK), by R. E. Hughes, Louis
ville.) TT11E FlItsT iron tramroad was built in Great
Britain from Craydon to Wandsworth. A
few mouths prior to this Mr. Benjamin Out
jam (for whom these roads were named, the
abbreviation for Outram to tramroids coming
later) had made great Improvements In this sys
tem of railways for common vehicles, then in
100 in Northern England.
The first lectures on medicines in England
were dellveied. I'p to this time foicnlc medi
cine seems to have been entlely neglected in
Orcat Britain. The modern school of medicine
the adoption ot the methods ot research of
physical science and the gradual declining Im
portance attached to theory and abstract reason
ingdales from this period also. Hypotheses,
though not neglected, were still used as means
of research rather than as ultimate conclu
sions. Tlio growth of the new school was first
seen In France nncl in England.
Corvisort, a French ph)slclan, was the first
nt this time to make practical use of Aucnrug
gcr's invention of percussion to determine the
size ot the heart.
Young's grandiet contribution to the wave
theory of light, on which Is based the whole
doctrine of Interference, was made in his Baker
Ian lecture In England. Tills was the beginning
ot that wonderful series of researches which
secured the undulatory theory. Young's discov
ery was made by reflecting on the beautiful ex
periments of Newton. He believed that as a
law It accounted for a gieater variety of Inter
esting phenomena than any other optical prin
ciple made known up to tiut time.
In England one of the first an! bet things
ot n century that gave promise of surpassing
in evciy way all its predecessors was the modi
fication of the private inilosurc acts, whereby
more ot tha common ground than ever before
was biought under cultivation. Increase in popu
lation and the growing need for food producing
land made it tho Intcrrf.t of the lord as well
as the public to utilize the commons.
Ilia country which many )cars later foimed
Orange Free State, in South Africa, was now
inhabited by sections of aboriginal tribes
Bushmen, Korannos and Bechuanos, and a chronic
state of warfare began between them and a

Colony, who had coma among the former.
