WONDERS OF LARGEST SHIP Great Interest Being Taken In F.e. a fo ment of Neve Canard Steamer Lasltanls. ' GLASGOW, July 6.-Speclal.)-The great- est Interest Is being taken here In the wonders of the new Lusllanla, easily the largest ship In the world, now being built on the Clyde. TTrls newest and latest Cunarder will have a, population of 1.160, of whom (00 will compose the crew. It will have accommodation for M0 first class pas sengers, too second class and 1,300 third class. Other statistics of Interest In con nection with this floating palace of luxury, which Is being equipped with a telephone every cabin, are as folows: Larngth, 785 feet; gross tonnage, 22,600; speed, 36 knots; state rooms, 10V feet high; 6,000 electric lamps; 1,200 windows. Tha Lusltania is now receiving the fin ishing touches at the hands of Hohn, Brown Co. Recent experlencea with turbine-propelled boats have led to the belief that the strain upon the propellers of the Lusltanla will prove a very serious matter when this hip with Its grosa tonnage of 12,600 Is forced at the rate of twenty-five knots an hour through the water. The action ot the turbinea will tend to keep this huge bulk down in the water, thus preventing pltohlng, but putting at the same time an Immense stress on the propellers. To safe guard against mishap la now. the chief problem which Is worrying the engineers. For the first class paaaengers nothing Is bslng spared. Each passenger gets 69 per cent more of room than In the older boats. They can choose between dining a la carte in a lovely white and gold empire salon or table d'hote in a statder mahogany dining room. Kverything haa been designed to look aa much like the Waldorf-Astoria, the Carlton or the Rita as possible, and as little like a ship as human Ingenuity can do it. The fireplaces will, except In bad weather, ba quite open and cheerful hearths. The windows will be shaped and curtained like a private house. Elevators will take the passengers from one deck to another. However, it la not even necessary for the passenger to take these elevatore, un less he chooses to do so. He can call up 'central" and ba awltched on to the purser or the barber, the wine merchant or tho newspaper shop. In the event of a rob bery In his cabin or In the card room, after the fashion of things on land, he can call up the chief of the police of the ship, and, having attended the court, of which the captain of the ship Is, of course, the Judge pro tern, he can have the pleasure of seeing the offender, If held, committed to the cells. For the millionaires the state rooms are to be as beautiful aa tho aklll of the first decorators of the world can make tbem. in the regal rooms, as they are to be called, there will be two bedrooms, a dining room, reception room and bath room, just suoh a . suite aa would be found at Clartdge's In London. The rooms are all ten and one-half feet high and furnished la land faahlon. The bedsteads are of brass; without a suggestion of the bunk about them. Every electrical device will be found In these rooms tending to human comfort. Even the sheets will be warmed with electric bed warmers. The bath rooms will include Turkish and vapor baths, needle baths and several klnda of medicated baths. There will be a nursery for children and a gymnasium for athletes. The lounge will be lined with satin wood. PEASANTRY IS DISAPPOINTED Fa II ere of Horn Rnlo Taken Nark to Heart by the People of Ireland. DUBLIN. July 6.-Specla!.) There Is no doubt but that the failure of the home rule measure no matter who la to be held re sponsible, the Irish Parllamentarista or the English liberals haa proved a bitter disap pointment to the peasantry of Erin. Per haps the educated men and women of Ire land have long since ceased to hope for real home rule at the handa of a British parlia menteither conservative or liberal but more than the Irish of the lower classes have appeared to pin their faith to Glad atone In the old Parnell daya do they ap pear to have thought that Campbell-Ban. nerman might be able to accomplish some thing for genuine home rule. In the mean' time it is noticeable that the radius ot the antl-graslng agitation is spreading and fresh counties are being affected. Mr. Co gan, the United Irish league organiser, haa written to the estates commissioners in forming them that many large ranches have been laid derelict and asking them te take steps to htva the land divided among the people. He has a reply to hand aaylng that the matter will receive full considera tion. The point will bear watching by the Irish people at home and abroad. Of all of the great liberal papere ot Eng land even those of London City Included the Manchester Guardian appears to be about tho only one that la "sane and sure" In Its comments upon the manifesto of the Irish party. Bays the Manchester Guardtan: "A few sanguine unionists are expressing the hope that the liberal party will dissolve Into smoke on the announcement of the Irish nationalists that they are going to act absolutely Independently of English party Interests, and to force the urgency of the Irish question upon publlo atention by every possible means. We fear the hope must be abandoned. The Irish party has always acted indepedantly of English party Inter ests an dhas alwaya kept home rule to the front as thoroughly as it could. No Irish party which did anything elae could show Its face In Ireland. IJberal support of home rule is not baaed upon any contrary supposition. Th very basis of liberal opinion on the Irish question Is the convic tion of the truth of these facte that under the present system of government Ireland la a country aa hostile aa a subejet country not actually In insurrection can be, and that neither the Interests ot any English party aor the Interest or the English na tion matter two plna In the average Irish man's aight. except ao far as they can be manipulated for Irish national usee. This is the disease that statesmanship has to cure; ao far from Ita being something that English liberals could wish to disguise or mlnilmlxe, it la their own argument." Kmperis Find Shertege.

Neither the Naples Camorra, the Parts Apachea nor the Black Hand of America Is the moot powerful and terrible secret ao clety In the whole world. The palm must go te the Mafia, which flourishes in Italy and has done ao for more than too yeara, This society, which works so swiftly and silently, yet so surely, waa founded in Sicily for protection against the injustice of foreign rulers. He who la ot the Mafia la almost sure to do well, and may even escape Justice after committing the most serious crimes. It is said that the secret of the success of the famous Crlspi was that be was one of the Mafia. If a member opens a new shop, the word is given round, and all the other members In the neighborhood flock to It with their custom; If one of the Mafloal, as they are called, la put up for an elec tion the influence of the order is set to work In every direction In his favor; If one commits a crime he may be let off be cause the Judge and Jury are his brothers; and sot long since a man murdered an other in the afreets of Palermo and was caught the next moment, but he broke away from his captors, and upon the in stant the cry of "Maftost!" waa sent round, and every possible Impediment was put in the way of the pursuit, so that it failed, and the man got free. Subsequently, the police discovered hi whereabouts, but they dared not arrest him, for fear ot the Mafia. It Is not sn easy thing to Join the Mafta, and the teeta as to whether a candidate Is at tor the fraternity snd likely to be a good member of It are very strict He haa to go through many probationary trials, but when at laat tha committee la satisfied that be la a good candidate, be Is duly In itiated. The candidate has then, to go through a terrible ceremony. First of sll a cut is made la his body and a quantity ot blood Is draws from It, end with this he smears an Image of his. favorite saint, and then sets the Image on Ore, imme diately taking an oath In the following words: "I swear on my honor to be faithful to the brotherhood. As this saint and the drops of my blood are destroyed, so will I shed all the blood I have for the fraternity; and as these ashes and thla blood can never be restored to me, so can I never again become free from the brotherhood." Then the new initiate has to draw a re volver and shoot at a crucifix to show that he would be willing at any time to kill his nearest relative or most Intimate friend If commanded to do so. He Is then a full member and he Is said to be a wearer of the "red mantle." His nsme as a member Is not entered on any boqks, but It Is duly forwarded to tha headquarters, and then It Is communicated by word of mouth to all the other members In the district where he lives. These other members teach him all the otiier signs and customs of the fra ternity which it is necessary he should know, and he at once becomes an active member. The headquarters of tha brotherhood are being constantly moved about. One week they are In one place, and the next one In another at the other end of the country. Nobody ever knows, except the members, where to put their fingers on the Mafia. In each town there Is a kind of chief agent, who Is kept posted up with the doings and movements of headquarters, and he com municates them to the members concerned. London P. T. O. NURSES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS System nf Medical' Supervision Inaug urated by School Board of Boston. A system of medical Inspection inaugu rated In the public schools of Boston thir teen years is now to be supplemented by a system of medical supervision. A writer In the Boston Transcript in ex plaining the Innovation says, in part: No more far-reaching step, it is safe to say, has been taken In any American school system In recent years. Between inspection and supervision there Is such difference as that between the tele phone Inspector who calls occasionally when trouble Is reported at a subscriber's station and the private branch exchange operator who la always at hand to assist In keeping the service up to the mark. Inspection has for its function to deter mine what is to be done with school chil dren who seem to be ailing. Supervision if the Idea Is carried to Its logical conclusion will mean perpetual watch fulness over the physical welfare of both children and teachers. Without, for the present, adopting specific measures for the physical betterment of its charges without provoking controversies as to the propriety of such departures aa the fur nishing of free breakfasts or free eye glasses or free toothbrushes the Boston School board has sanctioned a broad, comprehensive plan which will enable studying the physical needs of Individual children and the best methods of meet ing them. The teachers, too, will, if the ideas of the original advocate of the plan are put Into execution, for the first time In tho history of the schools, be under supervision as to their physical condi tion. This, and much more, is Implicit in the new arrangement In accordance with which Dr. James B. Fitigcrald, phyalcal director, will be in charge of twenty-one city employed nurses In the nubile schools, whose duties will begin next September. Permission to start auch a system was granted by the legislature a short time ago. Advantage was taken of the permission without delay, Exam inations to secure the requisite nurses are to oe neid June IS. An appropriation of $10,000 haa been allowed for the period between September 1 and the berlnnlna- 90S. After that an annual annrnnrla. tlon of $25,000 may be forthcoming. Th. salary of tha supervising nurse haa h..n fixed at $924 for the first year, with an nnuai increase of $48 to a mail mum salary of $1.1 1. Her assistants will re celve $641 the first year, with an annual Increase of 48 to $840. The reasonableness of adontina. . i. of medical supervision ealiv anr,.... n-,.- principle of Inspection Is not to h" ai.. carded, of course, but there are strong ar- aumen.a in lavor of fewer Inspectors and more nurses subject to a Kupervlsor. who must be a practical medical man. The use fulness of the nurse In the school has al ready been demonstrated In New York cuy. mat tier usefulness msv be -renti Increased by making her the subordinate of a pnysician occupying a suriervisorv noal tlon analogous to that held by the special - ui iiiafiuai run nr. mm i r, penmanship Is, evidently, what Boston Is aoout to snow. Some emphasis should be laid upon the supervision of the teaching body. It is oh iouaiy as important that the occupant of ne instructor a desk shall be In good health as that the prescribed course of I study shall, not be thrown away upon pupils who are suffering frem chronic or temporary disorders. Often the teacher, nervous, irritable, with vitality low, creates sn atmosphere that Is Inlmlcsl to educa tional progreas, even while, contrary to rules and regulations, she forces the tem persture of the room In the direction of eighty. Often during the lsst two months before the long vacation aha Is In such a state of chronlo collapse that she would more appropriately be In a sanatorium than in the schoolroom. la not the tag payer's money wasted wherever such a teacher la employed! Tet, despite the wearing work and the worry 'to which nearly an people on small Incomes are sub ject, most of the breakdowns that occur among teachers are preventable, so good physicians say. Haa not a wlae man said: "He who falls ill has oommltted a greater crime than he who is sent to Jail; for tho one has been guilty only of bresking a man-made law, while the other haa been caught in violation of the lawa of God." It is idle, of course, to suppose that every teacher will be led to take perfect care of herself through the friendly and watch ful counsel of the school nurse and her superior; but If the physical efficiency of the teaching force can be Increased to half the extent It theoretically ought the an nual appropriation permitted by the legis lature will have been saved many times over. It would ba a gain If only a few of tha most flagrant casea of persona who habitually come to the classroom when they should be in the sick room can be taken up. Much more than that, however, may be attempted aa the system is devel oped. DCCK LABORERS ON STRIKE French Workmen Demand Iacrense of Wages and Parade Carryiagt Red Flan. CHERBOl'RQ, France. July .

A municipal experiment of greet Im portance has been In progress In Roches ter, K.

During this period the city sells milk to all comers, and, as Samuel Hopkins Adams explains In the current number of McClure's, because the city's customers are people who formerly fed their families on bad milk, the death rate for children under t years of sge, for the time when the milk depots are kept open, has been more than cut In half. Pnre, Clean Milk for Bnblea. Mr. Adams saya that the life saving is accomplished by furnishing clean milk. 'Not Blerllixed milk; not pasteurised milk; not any kind of otherwlse-lxed, baked, boiled or metamorphosed milk St all, but Just pure, clean milk, furnished to young children In place of foul, diseased, poisoned milk: whereby these little citizens, Instead of swelling the Infant mortality recorda of Infantum, convulsions, gastritis, acute Intes the hot months with fat entries of cholera tlngl Inflammation, and other interesting euphemisms for infanticide due to that mod ern Borgia, materlnal Ignorance, come through, well and hearty .and ready to go to school Instead of to the cemetery. "The milk Is sold at a rate somewhat higher than that charged for bad milk, the economic rule that a good article costs more than a poor article being, un fortunately, subject to no exceptions In the best-lntentloned enterprises. As this par ticular enterprise Is in no sense a charity, the city's customers are not 'pauperized' or 'dclndivldualized' or debauched In any of those harmful ways which, to- a certain type of sociological mind, overpend the race as soon as any slate or city government seeks te make surer, better or brighter the lives of its citizens. Loses Money In Saving Lives. "The worst thing that can be said, thus far, about the Rochester plan, is that in saving lives it loses money. When the public is more generally educated to the point of realizing that pure milk Is worth an extra price. It will probably make money." Thla movement began in Rochester ten yeara ago, snd Ita inception was due largely to the health officer at that time, Dr. George W. Goler. Dr. Goler observed the increase In Infant mortality which was recorded every summer, and made up his mind to .determine the cause. He knew that Rochester's water was good, the food supply fair and the sanitary conditions satisfactory. None of these, therefore, would account for the Increase in the death rate. Finally he traced the trouble to Impure milk to milk which came from dirty surroundings, which waa Impure, un clean, reeking with bacteria. He made up his mind to Improve conditions, and the Immediate result was the establishment of milk stations which, as the doctor de scribed them, "should be reasonable and good markets on the one hand and practi cal demonstration schools on the other," Com Free from Tebercolosls. The first thing necessary In the move ment was the purchase of cows which were free from disease. In New York, Mr. Adams points out, 30 per cent ot the cows are tuberculous. No tuberculous cow could be Introduced in the Rochester herd, and, consequently, the matter of purchase and selection constituted the most Im portant feature ot the first stages ot the undertaking. All the cattle obtained were tested, and only those which disclosed no sign ot disease were retained. Then followed the perfecting and establishing of a system ot handling the milk ao that it would remain clean and pure. ' "First." writes Mr. Adams, "the milking pail la steamed and the mouth of It cov ered with sterilized cheese cloth. The milk man, his hands carefully washed, milks through the cheese cloth, under tbe super vision of a health bureau nurse, the pall being then carried to a small shed near by, where the sterilised distributing bottles are awaiting it. Double acreen doors keep out that mischievous distributer of dirt and disease, the fly, and should one squeeze its way In, it is hunted down with as deter mined a ruthleasness as if it were a rat tlesnake. I nlonrhrd by Human Hands. "Untouched by human handa, the milk Is siphoned Into the bottles, which are at once sealed wltn sterile stoppers and packed in an Ice box until ready for de livery. Thus produced and bottled for de livery, it is Insured against taint. No where can It encounter a germ until It reaches the consumer. The cow and the baby are the only containers not abso lutely sterile, and the cow is as safe aa Inspection can make her. "Does it not sound extremely simple," continues the author, "this matter of pro ducing clean milk? There la nothing more to it than I have described. In the mere matter of cleanliness lies the difference be tween milk on which babies thrive and milk on which babies pine and die " The milk la sold through four selling sta tions. These are In the poorer quarters of the city, since It is there that the child mortality is greatest. One is. in the Jewish district, one .touches an Irish and an Ital ian quarter and the others are In districts near where the poorer laboring classes live. The price of the milk averagea i cents a quart, which la above the market price of ordinary milk. Nevertheless, even among the very poor, the doctrine that in pure milk Ilea sound household economy spread with surprising rapidity. Instrurtlona Given Dairymen. At the name time dairymen are Instructed In the methods whereby cleanliness may be obtained. But If example, as it is fur nished by the Rochester municipal dairy Is not sufficient to insure a pure aupply punishment la resorted to. All dairies are inspected at least twice a year and If con ditiona fall below a certain standard the i health officer notiflpa the orTeiTner. llwivi j , fur resaonable chance to improve la given. ) further ateps are taken. The retailer who 1 handles the dangerous output Is also noU- ; Bed. Now. should the dairyman, Mr. I Adama aays, disregard the naming, his milk Is condemned: an embargo is put on tt; no sale of It can be made within the limits of Rochester Then the retailer who adulterates Ills milk la also punished. He ie promptly baled ts eourt aad vigorously prosecuted. Naturally this activity aroused opposition. Dairymen combined and fought to have the 1 new order of things set aside, but they failed. The Rochester milk experiment waa a success, and. moreover, an estao- llshed success. At the present time other cities are likely to follow In the fuotsteps of Rochester, for. through this municipal experiment, the cost of bad milk has been sharply brought home to many communi ties.
