When it’conies to safety in traveling
possibly the modern steamship gives
the greatest possible assurance. In
evidence of this fact, it is of record
that not a single man of that 250,000
sent by England to South Africa, has
been killed or injured while on ship-
board.
Another official report has reached
Washington concerning the alarming
mortality among the natives of Alaska
and the Aleutian Istands. The dis-
eases which have afflicted them are
principally-those imported along with
the adfent of civilized man, proving
; again that contact with civilization is
dangerous to the savage.
The average annual income of pro-
fessional criminals is estimated at
about $1160. This means that the
community pays them a yearly salary
of $400,000,000. After this is spent for
their maintenance we pay annually
$200,000,600 for their detection, convie-
tion and support under national,
state, county and city auspices.
There was a time when the efforts
of people to escape compulsory vaccin-
ation would have been less unreason-
able than they are now. When phy-
sicians used humanized lymph (from
the arms of children who may have
been the victims of constitutional dis-
eases) there was supposed to be dan-
ger of developing incidental disorders.
As a matter of fact, however, most of
the charges of the transmission of
disease through .vaccination were
groundless. In this day the virus is
prepared with the utmost care, and is
fully protected from all possibility of
germ infection. Only the bovine
virus is used, and the animals from
which it is obtained are always in per-
fect health. No one need fear any-
thing worse than the effects of the
harmless virus, observes the Phila-

The Greens lived on the second floor
of a dwelling, the first floor of which is
Secapled by James Whitney and his fam-
dy.
At 1.30 o'clock a. m. Whitney was
awakened by noises in the Green apart-
ments, but they ceased almost immedi-
ately and he paid no more attention to
the matter at the time. About 2.15 o'clock
Whitney's daughter returned home from
a social party in company with Philip
Cady. Whitney was still awake and he
decided to go upstairs and investigate.
So, in company with Philip Cady, he

crushed in with a‘hatchet in the hands
of Bankert, who was lying on the other
side of the bed, next to the wall, fully !
clad with the exception of his shoes. He |
was dead, with a builet wound through
the heart.
Lying between the two men was Mrs.

Pretoria, Nev. 3—Further details
have been received regarding the at-
tack by the Beers under Commandant
General Louis Betha last week upon
Colonel Benson's column, near Braken-
laagte, Eastern Trangvaal.
It appears that General Botha, who
had been joined by another big ecom-
mando aggregating a thousand men,
attacked Colenel Benson's rear guard
October 30 on the march, and eaptured
two guns, but was unable te retain
them.
Colonel Benson fed mertally wound-
ed early in the fight.
Major Wools-Sampson took cesm-
mand, collected thé convoy and took
up a’ position for defense about 500
yards from the entrenchments prepared
by the Boers. The captured guns were
so situaéed that neither side could
touch them.
The Boers made desperate efforts to
overwhelm the whole British force,
charging repeatedly right ap to the Brit-
ish lines and being driven back each
time with heavy loss. The defense was
stubbornly and successfully maintained
through the whole of the following day
and the succeeding night, until Colonel
Barter, who had marched all night from
Bushman’s Kop, brought relief in the
morning of November I.
The Boers then retired. Their losses
are estimated at between 300 and 400.

"DAY OF THANKSGIVING.
President Theodore Rooscvelt Fixes Thurs:
day, November 28.
Washington, D. C. (Special).—Presi-
dent Roosevelt Saturday issued his
proclamation fixing Thursday, Novem-
ber 28, as a day of national thanksgiv-
ing. It follows:
“A PROCLAMATION.
“The season is nigh when, according
to the time-hallowed custom of our peo-
ple, the President appoints a day as the
especial occasion for praise and thanks-
giving to God.
“This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death of
a great and good President. We mourn
President McKinley because we so
loved and honored him, and the manner
of his death should awaken in the
breasts of our people a keen anxiety
for the country and at the same time a
resolute purpose not to be driven by any
calamity from the path of strong, or-
derly, popular liberty, which, as a na-
tion, we have thus far safely trod.
_ “Yet, in spite of this great disaster,
it is nevertheless true that no people on
earth have such abundant cause for
thanksgiving as we have. The past year
in particular has been one of peace and
plenty. We have prospered in things
material and have been able to work
for our own uplifting in things intellec-
tual and spiritual. Let us remember
that, as much has been given us, much
will be expected from us, and that true
homage comes from the heart as well
as from the lips, and shows itself in
deeds. We can best prove our thank-
fulness to the Almighty by the way in
which om this earth and at this time
each of us does his duty to his fellow-
men,
“Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
velt, President of the United States, de
hereby designate as a day of general
thanksgiving Thursday, the 28th of this
present November, and do recommend
that througheut the land the people

BEYOND A DOUBT
‘
Mental Specialists, After Thorough Ex-
amination, Forever Settle Question.
WAS GRADUALLY DEGENERATED,
Physicians Give a History of His Case, Declar-
ing as a Result of Their lnvestigation That
the President's Assassin Was a Product of
Anarchy, But Sane and Responsible—lHe
Had No Belusions.
Buffalo, N. Y. (Special).-—Drs. Fow-
ler, Crego and Putnam, the specialists
who were requested by District Attorney
Penney to examine into the mental con-
dition of Leon Czolgosz, the assassin of
President McKinley, have made public
their report, in which they state as the
result of frequent examinations of Czol-
gosz, of the reports of his watchers and
of his behavior in court, that they have
“concluded that he was sane at the time
he plamned the murder, when he shot the
President and when he was on trial.”
His first examination was only a few
hours after the commission of the crime
and while he was still uninformed of the
fate of the victim. During the first three
examinations Czolzosz answered ques-
tions unhesitatingly. After that, how-
ever, he became less communicative. He
had a common-school education, the re-
port says, and read and wrote well. Dur-
ing the first day’s examination he said he
planned killing the Presdent three er
four days after he (Czelgosz) came t®
: Buffalo.
The sanity of Ceolgosz was held, the
report says, “from the history of his life
as it came from him. He had been sober,
industrious and law-abiding; till he was
21 years of age he was, as others of his
class, a believer in the government of his
country and of the religion of his father.

acquaintance of anarchistic leaders, who

he refused to vote. He did not believe
in marriage because he did not believe

he was a ruler, and Czolgosz believed, as
he was taught, that all rulers were ty-
rants. He refused to have a lawyer be-
cause he did not believe in law.
“We come to the conclusion,” the re-
port goes on, “that in the holding ef

command; he did not believe he had
been especially chosen to do the deed.
Hc always spoke of his motives for the
crime as duty; he always referred to the
anarchist’s belief that the killing of rul-
ers was a duty. He never claimed the
idea of killing the President was orig-
inal with him, but the method of ac-
complishing his purpose was his, and
that he did it alone.
“These facts all tend to prove that
the man had an unimpaired mind. He
had false beliefs, the result of false teach-
ing, but not the result of disease. Psy-
chically he had not a history of cruelty
or of perverted tastes and habits. He
was the product of anarchism, sane and
responsible.”
