All this talk according to from heavy colds and often hearing and Dede ack Seok ee Rote ee have worried themselves half sick, while i ination has done the rest. the idea of there being such a thing as a genuine case of the influenze in this city. They said that there was undoubtedly an epidemic of severe bronchial troubles, largely the result of the recent unseasonable weather, but they claimed to have no knowledge of anything more serious, BAD COLDS AND IMAGINETION. Dr. James T. Young, when asked how many cases of the disease he had under his care, said to the reporter: “Ihave nota single well de- veloped case of the grip under my care nor have Iany personal knowledge of one. Iam not an alarmist and I do not think the grip has reached here yet. It is my opinion that anum- ber of people with bad colds have worried themselves into belief in the Pag hoped disease poeediee so much about it in the papers of DR, WALES TELLS THE STORY OF THE GRIPPE. Dr. Philip Wales eaid to a Stan reporter that he bad had a number of cases of catarrhal influ- enza which he attributed to the change of the weather, but nore that he thought were the grippe. “The grippe,” he said, “‘is in no way subject to the influence of the weather, It is independent of all climatic conditions, It flourishes as well in the mountains as on the lains, and in summer asin winter. Neither is ita respector of persons. It frequently seizes upon a whole population at once. The old and the enfeebled are, of course,more seriously af- fected. It comes quickly and goes quickly, at- tacking every body, aud sometimes it will re- turn after it hag once passed over. The first record of the discase was at the beginning of the 16th century, though it had, boubtless, ap- peared before that time. It is liable to occur in any part of the world, frequently being se- vere where catarrh is not known. “In 1510 the epidemic was widest spread of any known, and up to 1870 there were recorded some 90 epidemics of the grippe. In 1590 it started in Matte and spread over the whole of Europe, attacking everybody. Pope Gregory XIII was threatened with death by the disease. In 1557 it crossed the ocean and spread over every quacter of the globe. Paris in 1530 it broke out in the autumn and lasted for ten months—through winter, spring and summer, At Nismes in France everybody in the piace was attacked on the same day. Many died. It 1580 it started in Constantinople and spread over the whole of Asia, Africa and Europe, lasting during the whole summer in Spain. Nine hundred people died of it in Rome at this time. and Madrid was almost depopulated. Four-fifths of the people of the countries in which the epidemic appeared were déwn with it, From that time there were a namber of epidemics, which passed over the most of the known world. The epidemic of 1729-30 was one of the most wide spread in Europe. It lasted five months and spread over Russia, Austria, Germany and Poland. In Vienna 60,000 people were down with it, It crossed the ocean and spread over the whole of North America, Au epidemic began in 1732 and lasted until 1737, going over the whole of northern Eurc pe, crossing to America, the East Indies and Peru, In 1772 it spread over all North America. It began in Russia in January, 1732. ‘the thermometer in one day rose from 35 degrees below zero to 5 above and in that one day 40,000 people were taken down with the grippe. On this occasion it not only spread over the whole of Europe but attacked ships on the high seas, It was so quick in its attack that it was called lightning catarrh, In 1830 it spread through China and all of Asia. It spread over all of Europe in 1836-37. Almost every one in Lon- don was attacked and the mortality was great. From that time until 1874 the epidemics have been more or less frequent, ‘The last epidemic in Europe was in 1874. Nothing is known about the cause of the disease. It is certainly not subject to the changes of the weather or to climate or altitude in any way. The mode of life, the sex or the age of the person does | not influence its attack, but of course a weak | and nervous person cannot stand it as well asa strong one, Some doctors have observed that jthe women are first attacked, then the adult men and then children—that is, they succumb in thatorder. Itisin no way subject to local conditions, In its movement the epidemic does not follow the lines of trade or travel. It starts from the east and travels west. It settles down suddenly on the whole population. | It seems to have three forms of attack and it varied in symptoms at differeut times of its coming. Sometimes it attacks the nervous | system. sometii the chest aud sometimes the abdomen, ‘This time it seems to attack the chest.” THE POWER OF IMAGINATION. Agentieman talking with a Stan reporter said: is nothing else the matter with the people who think they have the epidemic thana very nat- ural and ordinary cold in the head, There is nothing unusual about such colds at this time of the y: In fact I don’t know that I ever saw u year go by when two-thirds of my friends did not, at this season, suffer from such acold, Butthe moment the newspapers call | attention to the fact that there is a new disease prevalent in some corner of the world every man who has the suutiles begins to belicve that he has the symtous of the epidemic. Of course there is undoubtedly some truth in the existence of this peculiar disease. he reports from the other half of the world prove that, but what I contend is that in a vast majority of | cases there is nothing extraordinary the mat- ter, but that the sufferers imagine that their cases correspond exactly with the genuine cas: of ‘LaGrippe.’ It all comes from the-«tfon- tion which is called to the spidémic in the newspapers. J sewid venture to say that whore evel ous genuine case of influenza in tnis city there are 99 imitations, “This same power of the press to make tho public bamboozle itself was evidenced during the summer when somebody wrote a letter to a newspaper saying that there was an epidemic of fleas, I believe it started m Brooklyn. Just as soon as that was printed folks begau to look for fleas. and they found them, just as man; they would have found at anytime if their eyes were opened, Every man who had a dog suddenly discovered that the animal was cov- ered with fleas, aud he began to tell how much | worse the dog was than ever before, whereas in most cases there was absolutely no differ- ence,” “Yes,” chimed in a third party, who was sit- ting near, ‘and I have another instance of the sume thing. People used to die very suddenly of apoplexy and heart disease and lots of other homely diseases, but when Gen, Sheridan died of what the doctors said wae heart failure, aud | the newspapers began to harp on that term, it suddenly became fashionable to die in the same way. And so now this word is used almost en- tirely in cases of sudden death, as if every idiot shouldn't know that it was a case of ‘heart failure’ whenever a man dies, whether he has measles or the pneumonia,” THINKS THERE 18 VERY LITTLE, IF ANY, INFLU- ENZA IN THE CITY. “T had two suspicious cases,” said Dr. Neale, “that looked like they would turn out to be cases of the Russian influenza, but a careful diagnosis proved the contrary.

A Srar reporter learned there that we were going to be hit by the tail, as it were, of a big storm that went north of us. It is always well to know what is going to hit you so you can attend to the padding. The northwest winds that always follow the big storm centers are going to swoop down on Washington and make things lively. The storm that is to blame for this was born out in Colorado on Saturday morning and it did not stop to fool away any time on a nurs- ing bottle, either,but started right in to whoop things Sunday morning it was over Lake Michigan and just roarmg mad. ‘Today it is doing its best to put some life in the St. Law- rence.

This morning the zero line takes in Minnesota, Dakota, northern Nebraska and northern Mon- tana, By 8 o'clock tomorrow the signal office promises the arrival of the interesting stranger here, and predict that the thermometer will drop to 24 degrees or even lower.

JONES’ FALSIFIED PAY ROLLS. Major Goodloc’s Accounts Suspended at the Treasury. HE WILL HAVE TO MAKE Goop THE €2,600 m- ‘VOLVED IX THE TRANSACTIONS OF HIS PAT CLERK—MEANWHILE THE UNAVAILING SEARCR FOR THE BODY OF JONES GOES ON. If Pay Clerk Benjamin A. Jones put in an ap- Pearance at Maj. Goodloe's office this afternoon one of the first conumdrums which the major would insist upon having answered would be “Where are the $2,700?” In that inquiry is the real cause, it is be- Heved, of Mz Jones’ ged His faulter and wi terday by the fourth anditor’s office, and there is now no reason for anyone asking why Jones disappeared. Good nat reticent over the matter is — coronas His stein 4 eee ron is lavy department, an: afternoon he transmitted to Secretary Tracy a state- ment of the fact that the ten days’ leave granted Benjamin A. Jones was up on Thursday last and that Mr. Jones has not even yet returned to the office. The report — iy contains brief information as to the a hole which Mr. Jones left behind im, WHAT THEY SAY AT THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT, At the Treasury department Auditor Whita- ker said that the investigation was closed so far as he was concerned. Jones’ manipulations had given Major Goodloe fictitious credits for various amounts—in all about €2,600—and to this extent the major’s accounts would be sus- pended until deposits were made to cover the overdrawn total, The manner in which Jones, it is sree falsified the pay rolls was fully described in Saturday's Star, and there is now little question as to Jones’ criminality. Que of the most interestingly peculiar things in connec- tion with the fraud 1s the fact that the defauiter had marked with an asterisk in pencil each of the items which he had raised. The crooked- ness has been going on almost from the beginning of Jones’ connection with the marine corps pay office, Previous to his en- gagement therein he was a clerk in the office of the commandant at the navy yard, and while there built up for himself @ first-class reputa- tion of efficiency and integrity. JONES’ HABITS. ‘The fact was developed this morning bya Star reporter that Jones was addicted to gambling ina minor way. The bar tender at Coxen’s saloon, opposite the marine barracks, said it was not an uncommon thing for regu- lar frequenters of the honse to play cards and he had frequently seen Jones take a hand. At another saloon it was stated that Jones vc- casionally played cribbage there, in fact played there on Christmas night, and remarked before leaving (at about 8 o'clock), “this is the last game of ‘crib’ I'll ever play.” On being asked to explain his utterance he modified it by saying, “well, it’s the last I'll play tonight anyhow.” information as to Jones’ habits is difficult of access, The proprietors of those saloons fre- quented by him are very unanimously “out” when a reporter makes inquiry as to their whereabouts and those who are tem- porarily in charge of the liquors and the free lunches declare with strange and loudly accentuated positivencsss that they were not on duty eit. on Christmas night or on the evening before. In a vague way thcy remomber that there once used to be a Benjamin A. Jones, but beyond that they never go; their memory fails them at all crit- ieal points. Somebody has been telling them that silence is golden. and they are evidently engaged in dumb efforts to extract the metal, MRS, JONES THINKS HER HUSUAND DROWNED HIM- SELF. Mrs. Jones still is firmly fixed in the belief that her husband has drowned himself. He so stated in the note which she received, and the probabilities are that there was more in that and Frank Schwartz, the Auhauser-Busch agent in this city. Presumably the letter was de- stroyed. Mr. Schwartz was not in his office today when a Stag reporter called,so the ramor that the note was still in his possession could not be verified or upset, ‘The hat which was found near the arsenal by Capt. Bailey of the tug Teuton is in the posses- sion of Mrs, Jones, and so is the other hat which it was intimated had been worn by the fugitive in his flizht while tie other piece of head gear was left to indicate suicide. Lots of people are very skeptical as to the suicide theor; A MAN THAT TWO BOYS SAW IN THE Woops, No official notice has been received by the police of alleged wrong doing on the part of Pay Clerk Jones. His stepson called at police headquarters this morning to give the police what he thought was a clue to the whereabouts of Mr. Jones.
