Union Nvit Co, Union dtpot Blue Front Raitaufant' The Chinese will abandon the boy cott thai was started against Amerl cans and American goals The Chinaman Is not a specially grateful human ' bing. He hm the I reputation arid he deserves it of being cunning, tricky, addicted to art fulness. But there are some things the Chinaman will remember, and one of these Is the touch of a vanished hand. When the skilled armies of the world were marchiug against the capi tal of China the latter was ina pretty bad situation. The great powers were all represent cd In this tremendous military dis play not tremendous on acount of number?, but owing to the great inter est they represented- Most of the . countries represented would have been very willing to divide up the great empire of weak people. In fact some of them were insistent on doing so. It was then that John Hay. Ameri ca's great secretary, intervened. It was owing to him that China was not parceled among the spoilers. Not (nly C he Insist on the terri torial Integrity of China being retain ed, but he set the pace for moderation in the demands of tie different coun tries for the wrongs they had suffer ed and the expense to which they ad been subjected. For this there is no evidence that America was ever properly appreciat ve that China had ever had died, and China made no sign. But the work of John Hay lives after him. When it looked as though trouble would come out of Che boycott hat was spreading through China, he memory of John Hay was evoked and that memory and the touch of hat dead hand was more powerful those who were seeking to bring about trouble between China and the only country on the face of the earth that had ever stood her friend when she was in serious nerl of friendship. To what John Hay did in the tinio of the Boxer .troubles more than to any other one thing are we indebted for the fact that today mere is hard ly a breath of trouble where so much was expected only a few short months ago. graduates for the year 1905 was 22, making the total 393. When It Is taken into consideration that vast amount of toil, hard work and study that is Involved in a com plete course in the public schools, the necessities of many to seek an earlier means of livelihood, and the discour agements that assail those who may from any of the many causes, fall be hind their classes, and give up the struggle before commencement; day, the percentage of graduates is remark ably large. It Is no redeetion on the .schools or the pupils that so many of the latter have to quit their studies before the full course is completed; specially when the foundations have been laid for future successes by the painstaking methods inaugurated from the very beginning. The board of F1ucatlon is to be commended, also, for much of the success of the schools in the past, and as the people have sen fit to continue the same members in office as long as they would serve, the same broad minded, liberal policy will continue. Few cities in Illinois can boast of better schools than Cairo. Old Resident Every coal baron gets his temparature boosted ten notches. Those Explosive Pies. Oh rather crud I'm much afraid.

THE DAILY JINCLE YELLOW FEVER Thla is a subject that Is much dis cussed and a subject that is proving exceedingly interesting to scientists and medical experts who have watched the wonderful fight against the mosquito aril the fever in New Orleans, which now seems won by the medical experts. The New York Tribune of recent Issue printed an entertaining article by its staff cor-re-tpundent upon the situation in New Orleans. Along with t'-r arMi-ie "s r. man to s"" v t'n" - " of tae suftujiua i. !. a.t ui.... .it according ti whlcli tiie gu;i c.asl .ia.i the Rtrgomyia as a regular inhabi tant. North of a line' parelling Irregu larly the gulf coast, and south of a line that runs 'through northwest Texas, Oklahoma. South Missouri, up the Ohio to. Cincinnati, and then dips with the maintains' down through northeast Alabama and Central G-eorgia, turn ing upward as far as Norfolk, in Vir ginia, the stegomyia is accidental and may be there from July, to November. North of the northern!? line," says the Tribune, "but there never has been an epedemic of yellow , fever an'l probably never, will' be. This state ment gives the accepted history of yellow fever a severe jolt. According to that history," there was yellow fe ver In the Atlantic sea ports in the years -1783 to 1798, and during the New building operatlnns and rumors of '.new buildings; new manufacturing nreH.mB and rumors of more. It uitt-o does look as though eeneral pros nprity has hit the town god and hard, summer of 1798 it is sctid that there i i were 2.086 'deaths in New York from Those who entertained the thought that disease. Philadelphia had, 4,514 that all the rain that was coming to deaths in 1793', and 3,694 deaths In It is the contention of the scient ists who have baen observing the course of the yellow fever down at New Orleans that for some reason, or perhaps for several reasons, the Ital i;n Is more apt to contract the disease than other nationalit'es. and that, where attacked the Italian is more liable to fall a victim to the ravtges of the plague than people of other nation alities. This conclusion has been reached outside of the fart that the Italians in New Orleans live in a notoriously way, and that they are huddled together in a mann ?r unequtled in any other c'.ty outside of the Chinese in San Francis co and the foreigners in some of the congested districts in the city of Now York. It is not impossible that there may be something in the Italian constitu tion that makes him more Table to the diseass than other people. We all know titat there are certain races of mea who arj immune so far as certtin dis eases' are concerned. There are race3 of men on whom malarial disease have apparently no effect. And so far as these races are concerned some of th:m live in a manner that would seem to invite the diseases of this type, and yet are exempt. The discovery of the liability of the Ital an U attacks of yellow fever if it be really a .discovery and not a mere coincilence may have something of jan effect on immigration. The classes of I'.al.tns that have . been coming over here cf late have not been of tae best, but there has bacn a demand for them, itf the South, where the climatic and other conditions in so many ,'ispecta resemble thj sunny land' from which they came. f3on- seqtteatly there has been little pro- t3sr. If it i.v shown however, that tho Italian is particularly liable to acquire and communicite yellow fever, this d; rt;.nd for the Italian laborer in the south mey be expected o fall off. Be . . .... , fcmi Hie sotunerner oi tanay nas a . . v r horror and Hatred or yenow fin er than his forbears had of the Yankee abolitionist in the days before the war. He will do almost anyth'ng to avol I the terrible plague. Anot.ier of the strange th'ngs in connection with the prevalence of he epidemic In Now Orleans is thr fact that so many more men than women are attacked, and of the number at tacked a greater proporiion die. Tjose who pin the'.r faith entirely on the mr.squito theory claim this as proof. They say that the man roams abroad at night, when the mosquito is suppos ed to be mor? numerous and more ef fective, wh'le the woman remains at hefmo and behind screened doors and windows.

As he stood by the cigar lighter' and proceeded to pay the dealer, light his cigar, aril Btnff the bunch of air day smokers into hl.-t pocket at the came time, he chanced to see two old men wearing G.

"Jim," to the other veteran, "do you " Puff! Puff! "Do you smoke?" Yes, Jim cmoke, too. The two vets wet their liqs with their tongues ex pectantly. Puff! puff! The senator turned to the clerk with a sad lotiK on his race. "Smoking Is a very bad habit," he observed sagely. Then he grabbed his change, and, puffing vigorously, muile for the street.
