The people of the Paclflc coast are
waking up to a realising sense of the
danger of a cholera visitation that con
fronts them. Both in Ban Francisco
and In Portland, Ore., the boards of
health are adopting stringent measures
to shut oat the epidemic. All veoel ar
riving at these ports are to be examined
carefully and quarantined if necessary,
and the national government w'U bo
called npqp to take action under quar
antine laws which shall assist the
local authorities In the work of repell
ing an Invasion. This action has been
taken none too soon. The reports from
China and Japan are of an alarming
character. The aggregate number of
deaths from cholera In the latter coun
try since Aug. 1 was over 16,000, wh'le
In China during the same period the
number of deaths has reached nearly
60,000. These reports undoubtedly fall
to give the whole number of deaths in
the two empires, a In the one case they
only Include Tokio and one or two
other ports, while In China the death
list is confined to Pekln and Shanghai.
The advance guard of the epidemic
has already reached the Hawaiian Isl
ands, and the next points of communi
cation are Portland and San Francisco.
For the first time the dreaded disease
threatens this country on Its western
slope, and as the winters on that slope
offer no obstacle to Its progress It Is all
the more reason why both the Sta;e
and national governments should move
promptly. It Is a hint also to the au
thorities of Chicago, the dirtiest city
on the continent to do something to
ward cleaning up.
Mrs. Balllngton Booth, the sweet
evangel of practical religion, who has
charmed so many hearers with her pa
thetic recital of the old, old story, and
who has taken the message of the lowly
Nazarene Into homes where the apos
tles of the institutional church go too
seldom, has given her opinion of what
Is popularly called the "new woman."
It Is unnecessary to suy that her obser
vations are as chaste and beautiful as
they are pertinent and proper, for what
Mrs. Booth says Is always spoken with
the elegance of diction that becomes a
cultured woman and with the circum
spection that becomes a woman who
has seen a great deal of the world. Mrs.
Itixith says: "The revolting creature,
gaudily attired lu man's clothing, pos
sessed of strange notions about the
home, wifehood and motherhood,
scorned anil shunned by the men, is
not my Idea of the new woman. The
new woman, according to the popular
acceptation, sjieaks of children as
'brats,' says they tire and aggravate
her. and so Rhe bestows all her love
upon some ugly little pug-nosed dog,
which she carries in one of her man
nish pockets. She Is also a man-hater,
and In going forth to seek emancipa
tion and a world-wide rule for her sex
she declares It to be her mission to
down and belittle him. As for religion,
it is too simple for her strong mind.
She Is entirely Independent and a free
thinker." However reluctant we may
be to accept this characterization of
the new woman, as popularly under
stood, we must admit that Mrs. Booth
has described a certain type of devel
opment which is altogether too prev
alent Mrs. Booth declares that the
new woman she has described Is not
her Idea of a new woman. That this
tye of the new woman is no credit
to her sex Is a proposition that has the
hearty concurrence of the real friends
of advanced womaDbood. Mrs. Booth
says she believes in the advanced wom
an. We all believe In her. To be
trained for work In the Industrial call
ings and to enter Into competition with
man In professional attainments, when
driven to It by the necesltles of socio
logical or economic conditions, need
not mean, a renunciation of the highest
Ideals of womanhood. Education and
Industrial training are not Incompati
ble with a high conception of wife
hood and motherhood. The new woman
we all believe In Is not the man-hater
and the man Imitator who talks loudly
and coarsely In the language of the
street and disdains the polite refine
ments of the borne and Its hallowed
environments. We believe In Mrs
Booth's new woman, la whom Is center

During these years of the anti-slavery
struggle not only was Whittler's repu
tation as a poet growing steadily, but
the people of the North and of the West
were as steadily coming over to bis
side. Of course we cannot exactly
measure the Influence of a poem or
song, but It may be almost Irresistible.
He was a wise man who was willing to
let others make the laws of a people If
only be could write their songs. Law
Is but the expression of public opinion;
and when the ringing stanzas of the
anti-slavery bards and the stirring
speeches of the anti-slavery orators had
awakened the conscience of the freo
States, the end of the evil was nigh.
Slavery made a hard light for lu life;
but It was slavery that Whittler hated,
and not the Southern slave owners; and
there Is no bitterness or rancor In the
poems published In 1863 and called "In
War Time." And of these ballads of
tba battle yean the best and the best
beloved la "Barbara Freltchle," which
was rather a tribute to the old flag than

Found Durrant la the Church.
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 25.
The prosecution in the Dun ant case
closed yesterday afternoon. Three
more of its witnesses were recalled for
the accommodation of the defense to
day but they will testify only to facts
connected with the finding of the body
of Miss Lamont in the tower.
The most important of the final wit
nesses in connecting Durrant with the
muroer was wiiiiam Mernng, a gas
I litter, who put saving burners on all
I the gns cocks in the church the day be
' fore the murder. Tuesday he corrobor-
taed Janitor Hade in an In saying that
; there was a leak in one of the chan-
deliers near the entrance to the vestl-
bule, which is supposed to have sup.
j plied the gas smelted by George King
; when he entered the churcli on the day
j of the murder, just before Durrant
burst on his view, pale, weak, and
agitated, The day after ;the muruer,
sterling said, he had taken out the
burners on which Durrant claimed to
have been working when overcome by
gas. He found nothing the matter
with them and no gas leak in that part
of the building. While trying to reach
the ceiling on the day after the mur
der he tried the tower door, but found
the outside knob broken off. He
seized the projecting rod to the other
knob with his pinchers and turned it,
but the lock was broken and he could
not open the door. Had be done so the
murder would probably then have been
discovered.
Three more witnesses were intro
duced to whom Durrant had denied
that he bad seen Miss Lamont on the
afternoon of the murder, though he ad
mitted tbat be was with her that morn
ing. The testimony is to prevent the
defense from explaining Durrant's be
ing in Miss Lamont's company on that
afternoon, even should It desire to do
so, which is not probable.
The defense opened Its case today,
but Is not yet certain if it will outline
Its case in the preliminary statement.
Durrant's coansel is very secretive, for
the alleged reason tbat the? do not
want tbeir witnesses to be attacked by
tbe prosecution. The defense promises
sensational developments, but there is
a general doubt of its ability to effect
the case of tbe prosecution.

liberation of Ireland from England's

trust in legislator and Its reliance up

buried from sight and iu its place rises
