Cnicaco, Jan. 4.—[Special Telegram to Tnr Bee |—Within the past two days Rus- sian influenza or la grippe, which is epi- demic in Chicago, hasdeveloped into a far more pronounced and dangerous type. This fact is due to the warm, damp weather and the slight rain which fell this morning haa the effect of causing conditions that create the greatest feelings of alarm among physi- ciaus for their patients. The doctors claim that the damp atmosphere at present pro- duces a tendency toward the coagulation of the blood. The heart'is easily affected by the rinfluenza under the conditions as they now exist, and it makes the most dangerous compljcation that medical science has to meel. ' Toe public is bu just awukeningto thé fact that it will oot do to trifle with the disease any longer and the doctors have reached the same conclusion. It has reached startling proportions and even the most con- servative estimates place the number of the fHicted at 40.000. It is aot confined to any ction of the city. Over two hundred police and firemen are laid up, unfit for duty. The public sehools, which will open Monday, will not have more than two-thirds the usual attendance, if indeed the figure will.be 80 high. The agents of the board of education report that thousands of the children are sick—so0 many in fact that an_estimute can hardiy be made until the schools open and the absentees are counted up.

EVELAND, Bee, Neb. YOUNG GALHO 'S PLEA, He Acknowledges His Gu =.Counts, J. C. Calhoun, late deputy revenue col- lector, was arrafZhed before Judge Dundy yesterday mornlfigl ; ffbe indictment found by the grand A ry pontained ten counts. Calhoun pleaded gufily to three of these counts. They specified the embezzlement of 2265, Ho pleaded mot guilty to the other seven counts, -dance with an agree- ment between the Ristrict attorney and coun- sel for the prisoder ghb judge was asked to instruct the jury to return a verdict of guilty on three counts and not guilty on the other seven, which was done. No testimony was produced and the prisoner was at once re- {quud on bail until sentence is passed upon him, ! Judge Dundy stated last night that this arrangement had been entered into between Attorney Pritchett and the prisoner’s coun- sel because Mr, Pritchett was afraid if tue case went to trial he could not secure a con- viction, and he thought it would be better to secure an admission of guilt than to have a trial which would probably result in ac- nuittal. Auother thing which the judge remarked had some influence in the matter is tte fact that there is not money enough in the fund for wituesses to have paid the expenses of the trial, 8o that it would have gone over another term. There is only about 30 in the witness fund, and the judge would nut have allowed the trial to proceed when there was no money to pay witnesses. ‘The fact that the greater part of the money taken was in the shape of drafts has raised grave doubts in the minds of Judge Dundy and the district attorney whether these drafts could be construed to be lawful money of the United States. Taking everything into consideration, Judge Dundy thought the district attorney had taken the ouly course to secure a c viction. The penalty for the crime isa fine of double the amount of money taken, with im- prisoument not exceeding five yoars if the court deems it proper. B 4" TOOK A SPELL.

Hayes. Tne Ladies’ Home Magazine, of Phil- adelphia, prints in the January number a remarkable and pathetic story of the late Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes, that " is sald to be vouched for by the ex-presi- dent. ‘The story is as follows: Mvrs, Rutherford B. Hayes was one of the sweetest, stanchest and most sterling women that ever swayed the domestic destinies of the white house. She hér own views of life and they were very oxalted. To her mind they had ho association with 'locality or social or official posi- tion. What seemed to her to be the proper mode of life in the retirement of private station, in her home at Kre- mont, formed to her mind the proper rule of existence iu the conspicuous place of wife of the president of the United States. No intensity of satire, nor injustice of critivism could move her a hair's breadth from what she re- arded ns the true way, As she lived sho died, calmly, bravely and witha serene confidence, Some of her mnearest relatives had died of paralysis, aud she had a pre- monition that she, 100, would pass away with the sam> disorder. She had a long talk with her husband on the sub- ject about three years ago. He en- eavored to chase away her fears with light and kindly words, Early last autumn, just about the time of the an- niversary of the death of her brother, who had paesed away in paralysis, she spoke of her promonitions again, Her fears now amounted to an absolute con- viction, and she spoke of her end by paralysis as an event cortain to take place. None of the endeavors of her husband to turn her thoughts to a more cheerful subject could ava She quiotly insisted on arranging with him her business and other affai She put her house in perfect order, *And now,” she finally said, “if I be stricken with paralysis as [ believe [ shall be, I will not, as you kunow. be able 1o speak. But porhaps I still may bo able to hear. You may ask me then whether my mind is serene and clear, whether I am at ease and free from pain. For the answer yes to these questions, I shall pre your hand. JIf 1 can not truthfully reply in the affirm- ative, my hand will not clasp yours.” Three days ulter this what she feared would nappen came to pass. She was suddenly stricken down with paralysis. Her orgaus of speech wero benumbed. She could not utter a word. Then all she had said came sadly back to the memory of her devoted husband. Look- ing down into her shining eyes. ho took her hand in his and asked the quos- tions which days before she had sug- gested. “‘Wife, dear, are you at ease, is your mind serene and clear and are from puin?” ¢ the poor white fingers closed iving his hand a_gentle, re- assuring vressure. The next day the brave aad loving - ALL TAKE AND NO GIVE, Why Her Mnjesty no Longer Gets Valuable Shawls From India, Orientals are beginning to. find out, says the London Truth, that it does not vay to give costly gifts to illustrious Europeans to whom it does not_occur to return the compliment in articles of the sawme value. It is, therefore, rather a misfortune for Prince Albert Victor that so many of his relatjves have vis- ited India - within tl last twenty years. All take and no give soon brings the taking ones to the end ‘of their tether. T know a lady to whom the queen sent an Indian shawl not long ago. Tt occurred to her, she being temporarily in straits over here for money, to take itto a Parsee merchant in the hope that he might give her a handsome sum for it. His advice to her was to use itasa ta- blecioth or in draping a sofa, because it was scarcely salable. The fact is, he said, that native princes have long ceased presenting valuable shawls to the queen. They send hur articles manufactured with the design of being palmed off on tourists in the bazaars as genuine things. Her majesty has killed the gooss that laid the golden egg by not occasionally making some magnifi- vent presents. The great givers of gifts now are enterprising Indian merchants of social distinction. This conversation with the Parsee was related in the presence of a member of the government of Victoria who came to Kurope for the eoxhibition, He trumped 1t by relating how the duke of Edinburgh attended to his own inter- ests at Melbourne, and offered to prove to me by an official document a circum- stance that came within his own knowl- edge. The duke generally wore white trousers in Australia. One day at a public entertainment in a park he sat upon a fence railing. Being freshly tarred it left a mark on the Russian duck garment. Some months later at a town hall meeting my interlocutor had occasioa to look over some muni- cipul nccounts. His eye was caught by an item before which there was a big note of interrogation in red pencil, It was 50 much for, at the Duke of Edin- burgh’s demand, replacing a pair of Russia duck trousers which were spoiled under such and such circumstances. The correspondence on the subject was appended, with the tailor’s bill and a re- ceipt from H. R. H.’s attendant for the new garment. These papers are, I was assured, in the archives of the city of Melbourne. —— THE GOLDEN ROSE. No American Woman Has Ever Re- ceived Ir, Mgr. Dennis McCounell, rector of the Vatican college, who has been visiting at the bishop’s palace, is authority for the statement that no American woman has ever received the golden rose. The distinguished prelate, writes a New York World man, sard to me: “In the whole history of the church I don’t think the number of Golden Roses pre- senfed exceeds twenty. In every in- stance the recipient has been a lady of royal birth and. highest rank, = A few yearsago there was agreat doal of talk about Mrs. General Sherman’s roses. Quite as often the favor was described ns a white rose, and in ‘every instance us coming from the Holy Father. While the old warriornever took the trouble to contradict these rumors I have rea- son to know that they unnoyed him, [ once heard a lady ask him to describe the Pope’s rose, and his answer was, ‘I can’t do it. I never heard of that vari- ety.” No, Mrs. Sherman did not receive anything from the pope, ulthough she did a great deal of good, but not any more than thousands of women are doing in the church today. The last lady, according to = rumor, to receive the (folden Rose i Miss Gwendoline = Caldwell, whose magnificent gitt to the church made the Catholic university in Maryland a reality., But it is ouly a rumor, for not being of nobie birth Miss Caldwell is debarred. The only time on record that the rose came to America was n few years 0, when +*the ex-Empress Therese of Brazil bronght about the freedom of the- sluves throughout the empire. When the wvews reached the pope he ordered the Gold Rose made, and an emissary was appointed to de- liver it, with av autograph letter. Swce her banishment from the throue I don’t know what may have become of the precious jewel.” The pontifical decoration was also be- stowed upon ex-Queer. Isabella of Spain, ex-Empress Kugenie of I'rance, the Em- press of Austrisand the reigning queen of Spain, both of whom are in wmourn- ing. Itisa little odd that so few peo- ple, even in Catholic circles, have a correct idea of what the Golden Rose is. Instead of being a rose it is a rose bush from six to nine inches in height, reproseuting a perfect plant, with its folinge, bud, half-blown and full-blown rose. ‘The little tree is made of goid, exquisitely wrought, and is planted in @ degorated flower pot filled with earth, Aund so, instead of being a rose, this famous decoration is not a rose at all, but wiole bush that a free-born Ameri- can woman need not hope to possess, - ~ Vesta chapter, No, 6, 0. . b, sociable Wedaobday evening.

LOST IN AN IDAHO FOREST, The Narrow Escape of A Man Who Tpok a ‘‘Short Out." A. P. Sedge, a prominent man hero, says n Spokane Falls correspondent of the New York Times. had a narrow es- cape from death while on a hunting trip in the mountains in northern Idaho. For several days the party camped at, ranch, when they decided to go on ta another ranch. The wagon with the camping outfit started, Sedge thought he would take a short cut over tha ridges, hunt on the way and fall in with the wagon ata certain point. He started ont and reached the place where he ought to have met the wagon, but could find no road. He walked on and on, nt last realizing that he was lost, At night he built a fice and rousted n pheasant for his supper, and lay down by the embers of the fire. It snowed all night. and in the morn- ing ho arose. shook off the heavy blanket of snow and started out again, but found himself back at the camping place at 2 o’clock. ile ronsted another pheasant and again trailed out and wandered on until he came to & creel. This he followed down until tho banks became percipitate blufls and tho stream went dashing over rapids. IHe then climed the bluffs and tried from a bald peak to take a suryey of the coun- try. Ho laid out a coufsé for himself, and would every little while climba tree to take his beaving. He was trav- eling in dense timber. At nmght he tried Yo make a fire. had only three matchesleft. Two went out. With the Inst he made a fire in a hollow of a cedar tree. He lay down by his fire, drying his clothes on !‘um. first on ono side, then turning the other. He slept soundly for about two hours. Then he started out and traveled all day. Atdusk he heard two shots and he fired off his own gun in reply, but got no response. He stood under a tree all night stamping and walking to keep himself warm. He was so sleepy that he had to geta club and belabor the trunk of atree to keep himself awake and keep up the civcuiation. He pulled off one boot and emptied the watur out. The other he could not get off. At daylight he again started out, keeping the trail of some blazed trees. It was snowing hard and intensely vold, but he trudged on, more dead than alive, and at last found himself near a dwelling. Meantime his wife, who had heard that he was lost, had aroused the neigh- bors. Eleven men went on the hunt for him and were joined by others, making a crowd of lh!rn_v. When they saw him coming through the blinding snow there went up shouts such as had never been heard in that neighborhood before. So exhausted was Sedge that when he got into the house ne could hardly stand. It was several days beforo he fully recovered. Ho ated Picture. From Joseph Jefferson’s autobiogra- phy now being published with pictures in the Century is taken the following: I remember that during the rehearsal.” of the ‘School for Scandal’I was im- pressed with the 1dea that the perform- ance would not go well, TItis alway difficult matter to oring a company.of great artists together for a night and have them act in union with ench other; not from any ill feeling but from the fact that they are not accustomed to play together. In a fine mechanical contrivance, the ense and perfection with which it works often depend upon the fact that the cog- wheels have their different proportions. On this oceasion they were all identical in s1ze, highly polished, and well made. but not adapted to the same machine Seeing a hitch during the rehearsals in one of the important scenes, I ventured, m my official capacity, to make o suggestion to one of the old actors. He regarded me with o cold, stony gaze, s though 1 had been at a great distance—which I was, both in age and in experience— and gave me to understand that there was but one way to settle the matter, and that that was his way. Of course, as the company did not comprisa the one regularly under my management, I felt that it would be becoming in me to yield; which I did, not, however, without protesting that the po- sition T took was the proper and only one, under the circumstances; ana when [ saw the scene fail and virtually 2o to pieces at night, T confess that I felt some satisfaction in the knowledge that my judgment had been correct. In fact, the whole entertainment, while it had been a financial success, was an a tistic failure. People wondered how so many great actors could make a per- formance go off so tamely. **Harmony is the most 1mportant ele- ment in a work of art. In thisinstance each piece of mosaic was perfect in form and beautiful in color, but when fitted together they matched badly and the effect was de.

A play is like a picture; the actors are the colors, and they must blend with one another if a perfect work is to be produced.
