THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY MORNING t AUCi-UST
CAMPAIGN AGAINST
TYPHOID FEVER
Bitbt Doctors and Officials Conduct
ing a Winning right.
Typhoid fever in years Kmi by has
been the great Hummer scourge of His
bee. It is pleasing to note that by good
management that city, which is pecu
liarly subject to the disease, is getting
the upper hand of it and this year con
ditions are much better than ever be
fore. The Kisbee lie view says:
It has been noticed in the past couple
of days that typhoid fever is gaining
a little headway. Fp to the present
time the number of typhoid cases in
the hospitals this year is less than SO
per cent of what there was the same
time last year. A great pan of the de
crease of the fever is due to the im
provements which have been made in
the city. When asked concerning- tin
fever situation at the present time one
of the prominent physicians of the city
said: 'It is true that there are very
few cases of typhoid at the present
time, and I do not think there is any
doubt that this is due to the great im
provements which have been made in
the past year. A great many of the
cases at the present time are among
the residents of the poorer sections of
t'hihuahua Hill where the people live
without much regard for sanitary con
ditions. On the section of the hill
which I refer to there are practically
no Americans. Most of the residents
do not pay enough attention to the or
dinary safeguards of health and the
consequence Is that typhoid germs find
easy victims. These people have no
one to 'blame but thenise'.ves and the
sooner they realize it the better it will
be for the health of the community.
There are very few Americans with the
fever, and I ascribe this to the fact
that when you tell an American that a
certain way "of living is conducive to
good health and that another way Is
dangerous he will take your advice
and do his best to live up to it. I have
had occasion to examine the city water
and I found that it was very good. The
real source of infection at the present
time seems to be the fly pest. These
flies feed on matter which contains ty
phoid germs and then alight on food
that some one is to eat. Necessarily
they tarry the germs from one place to
another, thus spreading the disease.
o
EXPECTATION OF LIFE.
Insurance companies have what they
term "expectation of life" figured down
almost to a certainty. That is, given
the age of a man and his condition of
employment and heredity, they can tell
with comparative accuracy how much
longer the man may leasonably expect
to live. Of course, there are exceptions
but the average is maintained so that
the element of guesswork is eliminated.
There does not follow any assurance
that the Individual who elects to livo
to round out a century is going to do
so. The ambition that causes him to
make such a prophecy concerning him
self may buoy him up and asslt him
to reach the mark set; and yet when
"his time comes" he joins the great si
lent majority, and no protest is of
avail. People who do live for a cen
tury as a rule can give no particular
line of conduct as a reason for hav
ing done so. It is' common for them
to ascribe their long exemption from
the summons to some regimen that
would have been fatal to a person of
different constitution. one woman
who has just passed away at the age
of 102 was wont to account for her
longevity by a diet of cornbred and
black coffee. Others name abstention
from tobacco and whiskey, while still
others have smoked from youth up,
anil limited their supply of whiskey
only by their ability to obtain the
liquor. So in these respects clearly
there Is an absence of rule. The cen
tenarian, as truly as the poet, is born,
not made.
A man known as a"dietary expert,"
inventor of foodstuff warranted to
pheserve the health indefinitely, has
just succumbed at Atlantic City to a
meal of crabs. He was 77, but con
fident that he would live to be 100.
Perhaps ' there was ptomaine in the
crabs, but it may be that the expert
had experimented with his own patent
food until his stomach was unequal to
the task thus recklessly imposed upon
U. The expectation of long life, based
upon a particular method of eating or
a particular brand of viand, does not
seem to have much to sustain it. The
centenarians themselves are the least
qualified to explain the survival. It is
certain, however, that few among them
have been cranks concerning food. To
bo such a crank is to lop off a few
years by worry. Philadelphia Ledger.
o
A MAGAZINE OF TRAVEL.
It will Interest periodical readers to
know that Walter A. Johnson, formerly
of Doubleday, Page & company, has
with others, purchased The Four
Track News from Mr. George H. Dan
ielH. and beginning with the October
issue the new publishers will change
the name to The Travel Magazine.
The pages will be enlarged to accom
modate more beautiful pictures, to be
superbly printed on the finest paper
throughout the magazine. The new
title, it is believed, will enable others,
besides the several hundred thousands
of people who have already been read
ers of The Four-Track News, to better
understand the publishers' intention of
making a helpful and Interesting mag
azine, wldch is to tell people, in a
practical way. when, where, and how
to go; in short, the magazine is to be
more than ever an exponent of the
travel idea.
The number of people who travel in
this country and abroad has been in
creasing rapidly ,.f recent years. Well-to-do
people are more and more seek
ing new recreation and changes in en
vironment winter and summer. Active
minded men and women seek oppor
tunities for new interests and occupa
tions which travel opens up. Alto
gether. The Travel Magazine will have
a wide and delightful field to fill, and
as the new publisher has taken an
active part in the promotion of Dou
bleday. Page & company's magazines
fount ry Life in America. The Garden
Magazine, etc., during the past live
years, it is probable that the period
ical will till it well.
FIRST COINS OF THE COLONIES.
The lirst coinage In the American
colonies was in 1C52. when the general
court of Massachusetts established a
mint in Hoston, and John Hull, mint
master, struck silver .shillings, six
pences and threepences. All of these
coins bore the device of the pine tree.
Thev wort of l he same fineness as the
Knglish coin of like denomination, but
of less v.eis lit. This mint continued
in operation for thirty-six years. After
a while the "loyal oak" was substi
tuted for ti e pine tree, in order to
concilate Kiii-i Charles II., who disliked
this minting by a colony. All the above
named coins bore t'-e date of 1S."2.
Hut twopenny pieces were added with
the date of MH1-. No other colony had
a mint until 1 when Lord Baltimore
caused shillings, sixpences and groats
to be coined for use in Maryland.
James II issued ten coins for circula
tion !n America, though few of them
found their way hither. In 11--,
and 1733 copper coins were minted in
Knglaud with the legend, "Rosa Amer
ica." There were also halfpence issued
in 1773 for circulation in Virginia, and
in 1774 silver shillings were added.
Florida anil Louisiana had colonial
coins of their own before they became
parts of the Fnited States.
HUNTING THE BUFFALO.
In all the I'nited States there are
nut more than IIimi buffaloes remaining
of all the untold millions that roamed
tile wstern plains. Many titled for
eigners came here in the late 'tins and
early '70s to join in the slaughter. One
of the great hunters was the Grand
Duke Alexis, high admiral of the Rus
sian navy and uncle of the czar. His
presence here when he was a jolly
sailor of some 23 years created a
furore. His success as a buffalo hun
ter and woman killer was chronicled
in extenso. The illustrated weeklies
gave him pages of exciting pictures
"drawn on the spot by our special ar
tists." Tlie titled foreigners of today
have recently chosen British Kast Af
rica for a hunting field, and t lb-re the
sport is indeed regal. Rider Haggard

KING HAS MANIA FOR HOMES.
( me of the manias of the king of the
Belgians is building. King Leopold,
who spends almost as much time out
of his country as he does in it, has
several residences which he seldom or
never visits, yet he is constantly add
ing to them. He has a fine palace in
Brussels, but when within his own
domain he prefers to spend his time in
the country. He is also the richest
monarch in Europe so far as real es
tate is concerned.

HE AGREED WITH HER.
"After all." remarked Mrs. Inswim,
"home is the dearest spot on earth."
"It is." answered her husband, who
was engaged in auditing the month's
bills.

BISDEE IS READY
FOR CONVENTION
Arrangements for Entertaining
Delegates Ate Completed.
ISisbee- is preparing with a will for
the entertainment of the delegates to
Hie territorial conventions to be held
September G. says the Review. With
a vim that is characteristic of i:isl"e
when siie starts out to do tilings, the
finance committee chosen to prepare
for the coming of the political men of
both parties started out last Saturday
to raise sulticient money to properly
take care of the guests of thecify on
the above date, with the. result that
last night found the coffers of the com
mute filled to tire amount of $,V0.
Judging fiom the way that merchants
and capitalists are donating, the com
mittee will lind itself in good shape by
this evening to carry out the plans
which have been promulgated for the
care of the politicians who will come
in from all parts of the territory less
than three weeks from this day. It is
felt that $7."iu. or a little more, will suf
fice to meet the needs of Hint day. and
the committee is practically assured of
that amount already, and this in but
two days of work.
It was on the original program to
have the delegates all come in special
Pullman trains, owing to the fact that
it was feared that Itisbee hotels could
not take care of the throng. This plan
has been abandoned since the Copper
Queen management lias made arrange
ments to handle the entire list of d
- I
gates. Rooms at nearby desirable
houses have been secured, and all w iil
be taken care of by registering at the
Copper Queen. From the main hotel
they will be assigned their quarters in
adjoining buildings.
September 6 will be a gala day in
Bisbee, with the big gulls of both the
leading political parties on the ground,
determined to foiever blot out the ef
fects of the work of the jointists. It
would be ditlicult to imagine a more
suitable place than Bisbee in which to
hold the conventions of the two parlies,
in view- of the sentiment prevailing at
this lime on the statehood question.
The very at mosphei e of the '-Greatest
Mining Camp on Ka'th" reeks with the
sentiment of anti-jointure. It is doubt
ful if there is a lyai son of Arizona
within the limits of the camp, or in
her environs, who is in favor of
jointure.
Bisbee will don her gladdest raiment
for the occasion, and extend to the
sons of Arizona who come here to name
their respective candidates for teiri
torial honors, the warm hand of wel
come. Bisbee is already known
throughout the territory as the greatest
community in Arizona, but he- recent
rapid strides will now be known far
and wide to those who have not visited
within her gates for the past few
years.
DRIVING VS. DULL CARE.
I saw him with a spanking team,
Pass down the road one day;
This was t lie method lie employed
To drive dull care away.
Next day I saw him on the links.
With ball and clubs, at play;
Another scheme by which he thought
To drive dull care away.
An auto ear be m xt employed
With which to pass away
An hour or so. upon the road.
And drive dull care away.
The auto balked, and underneath
The oar he spent a day; '
He really then Si.-emed quite convinced
Dull care had come to stay.

HOW IT IMPRESSED HIM.
.V Chicago traveling man told this
story the other day about another trav
eling man:
"This man Bowler was the least ob
serving fellow I ever saw. He would
si! in a smoking car all day and never
Ink out of the window. He had crossed
the Mississippi river probably a hun
dred times, and had no idea wnether
it was forty feet or two miles wide.
Well, it happened a few months ago
that he and 1 v ere out in Arizona, and
liaving a day to wait over in the vicin
ity of Wi'liams, I decided to give hiin
u thrill. I don't believe he had ever
heard that there was such a thing ,ns
a Grand Canyon. If he had he'd for
gotten It.
" 'See here,' said I. 'I've got to go up
in the country about sixty miles, and
1 hate to go alone. If you'll go with
me I'll pay your expenses."
"He replied that he didn't mind. It
was all the same to him whether he
sat on the station platform or put in
the time riding up and down the line.
So we started, and I enjoyed myse f on .
the way up thinking of the pleasure
that was in store for him. I had often, i
after seeing the canyon for the first !
time, thought I'd have been willing to!
give a good ileal to, have seen the ex-i
piession on the lace of tne iirsi w line
man who ever looked into it that is.
if he hail not know n previously that
it was there. Now I had a chance to ;
try it on Bowler.
' It happened that there were only a
few people going up with u.-, and I
got my man alone at one end of the
car so that he wouldn't hear anything
which might arouse his expectations.
The station at the canyon is about a
hundred yards from the rim. and as
you step from the car you see nothing
but the hotel, a few other buildings and
the woods. When we had stepped off
I casualiy asked Bowler to accompany
in.- down the road that led through the
forest, and I conducted him to a point
half a mile or more from the hotel, he
stumbling along without noticing any
of his surroundings ;M all. As far as
he was concerned we might have been
in Nova Scotia. All countries looked
alike to him.
