WHY IT DIDN'T APrEAR.
We received a communication
n Wednesday with reference t6
Dr. Rakesiraw'tS fine entertain
ment. It purported to be f torn
iho. Julia Magruder Book Club
with request to publish. We are
sorry that we could not comply
from two reasons, viz: It was
. not signed officially by the sec
retary of the book club nor by
anv individual by which we
could-know the author, and be
cause it arrived entirely too late.
After delaying to almost the last
moment we pushed from our
pencil what appeared in the
Standard and it was set up in
typo when the other arrived.
We hope for better luck next
time -in having the communica
tion signed and sent m in . time.
The author's name need no ap
. pear in print if so desired.
SMALLPOX TO BE DREADED.
We saw a short statement
some time ago with reference to
smallpox in Missippi where the
disease is of virulent type but
got it misplaced before noting
Now again comes a dispatch
from Jackson, dated, the. 7th,
which'says that in the Jonesville
neighborhood in Hinds 'county
the conditions are deplorable.
The disease is of virulent type
and is exterminating some fam
iles. Almost 100 deaths have
occurred withingix weeks. The
greatest demoralization prevails.
We cannot speak from a high
scientific standpoint but from
.impressions gained by medical
men we understand eontagious
diseases Susceptible of fluctua
tions from the yirulent to the
mild and vice versa. .
The smallpox we have been
having recently in the State has
beCn of very mild type but there
isjittle security againet Ms glid
ing into ft cfegree of severity.
Evevy known method for its
suppression should b adopted,
the chief of which is vaccination.

Plague Looking Ominous.
The following dispatches look
rathjr ominous, and .may well
raise the question, where's the
plague going to stop ?
San Francisco, March 7. A
case of what is supposed to be
bubonic plague, though the ex
act nature .of the disease' is yet
uncertain, has been discovered
in Chinatown. The patient, who
is a Chinese, was immediately
isolated, and the whole of Chi
natown has been placed under
strict quarantine regulations.
No fear is apprehended .of the
spread of the disease,' whatever
it may prove, to be.
A large force of police is being
kept in Chinatown to maintain
he quarantine. The physicians
interested in the case are not yet
prepared to make a definite
statement, regarding the case,
but from others who have ex-
. . N. . ...
penance in such matters, it is
earned that th$ case will hardly
prove to be one of plague, as
the man has long been a resident
of this city. Had he been a re
cent arrival from the Orient,
greater alarm would have been
felt. The cordon of police now
watching Chinatown is kent
there simply as a precautionary
measure.
Calcutta, March. 7. :The bu
.. .
bonic plague increases, tharo
having been 411 deaths from the
disease here last week. This is
causing a great 'exodus, of mer
chants. .
Buenos Ayres March 7. A
number t)f cases of what is sup
posed to be the bubonic nlairue
have been officially reiDortod.
Urgent measures are being
adopted to prevent tho spread of
the disease.

"An Indiana Romance."
A critic who" had witnessed
performances said: . "It was nof
long before the listeners recog
nized .that it was no ordinary
actress wljo interpreted the lines
of Pauline in the .beautiful play,
'Lady of Lyons." In addition to
herdramatic power, Miss Weems
is a handsome . young woman,
aud she looked as well as acted
the part. There was'no require
ment of the play which she did
not.reach'." M'iss Weems is now
under the management of that
popular actor and manager, Mr.
Robert Downing, and her first
appearance here ifhder his man
agemont will be . in the part of
Mary Ramsey in the beautiful
comedy-drama, "An Indiana Ro
mance."
The Beethoven Club Meets.
The Beethoven Club was enteri
tained by Miss Bettie Leslie at
the home of Mrs. Dr. Herring
Wednesday, March 7. The

positions and to a very interest?
ing paper touching upon the life
of the great composer.
After the program delicate
refreshments were served by the
hostess and enjoyed by all.
The club adjourned to meet
with Miss Ada Craven March 21,
