A CUBAN PLAGUE WHICH BAFFLES THE SKILL OF ALL PHYSICIANS ON More Terrible Than the ' Bubonic Scourge Match Industry of Coos Cmmy Booker Wash-.'. . ingion Held in Disrepute by the Colored Race Other News. New York, Sept. 1 Menaced by a disease which baffled the best medical skill of tbe. island, the health department officials of Cuba have appealed to the authorities of Columbia University and Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia for aid in determining the nature of the affliction.' . The most eminent pathologists and bacteriologists of these institu tions are working, says the World, in conduction with the medical au thorities of the Marine hospital and public health department of the United States government in an effort to determine ibe nature of the disease. All details of the investi- gatlon are refused. ' ' The disease in many of its symp toms resembles bubonic plague, but it is said to be more swift : in its progress and more deadly iff its effect. 1 It ' first appeared "."' some months ago in the isolated town of Daiquri, province of Santiago. Men employed in the iron mines in that locality were affected. : The disease did not yield to treatment : and the mortality was greater than in yel low fever or any kindred disease. The inhabitants became panic- stricken "and an American steel company with large interests there took up the; matter. Referencesto the New "Va.rk.Jand Philadelphia ex perts followed. ' " ' 1 . - Description of the disease furn ished' by v, the Cuban physicians shows that it presents ' the worst symptoms of yellow fever, black fever, and spotted, fever. The patient- is osually " dead a few hours after first complaining of ill ness and turns a bright yellow after death.' -: It is in the death that the disease presents its must horrible phase. The victim's pulse rushes to 160, a heart beat which is deemed almost im possible by physicians of expert ence. The respiration counts 58. These organic dHturbanc-s, "with temperature of 109 and 108, do not cause lnetant death, but the high tever generated soon burns out life ; ine disease aiwavs attacks per sons who bave suffered from inter mittent malarial ft ver. A Portland, Sept 1. The Oregoni an says: A match factory manas ed by a woman, and -of sufficient importance to employ 18 people, was one of the curiosities found by Jefferson Myers, president of the State Exposition Commission, on bis trip into Coos county in Lewis and C'ark Fair interests, and a miniature of the factory in working operation will probably1' be one of the attractions at the exposition of 1905." ; Mrs. Elva Dyer, " woman manager of the unique industry, has definitely promised to make a display of the factory" product, and is expected to agree to an exhibit of actual matchmaking. The factory is located at Bandon, and is run by San Francieco people. Three hundred cans, each contain ing a gross package of matches, are turned out daily..' The material used ia burnt Port Orford cedar, timber . burned 1 perhaps ; over 40 years ago being utilized, -f A' profit of $50 a day is said to accrue from this little-known industry,. and Mrs. Dyer is prospering. Boston, Sept. 1. The suffrage League of Boston, a negro organi zation, tonight adopted resolutions declaring:. . "Inasmuch as Booker T.

At dawn the day was still, but la ter in tbe morning it blew out of the northwest a amart seven-knot gale that gave promise of batter thing?. The wind however, did hot last long and died away a knot at a time until at 9 o'clock, when the Reliance and Shamrock left for the starting mark, it was blowing about three knots. At noon it bad died out altogether. Under .the roles the boats bad to remain at the Mines until one ' o'clock, at which hour the rega tta committee prompt ly declared the race off .

Another attempt will be made to race tomorrow and " then end ; the agocy, and. among many who are wishing this is Lipton." He said today: "I am sorry we cannot wind this thing up. ; I am needed at home to attend to my business, and will probably sail a day or two af ter tne races. I cannot go west, as I contemplated." Sir Thomas makes no secret of the fact that the Reliance is far and away a better boat than the Sham rock. bona, Sept. 1. mere seems, no hope today that war between Bul garia and Turkey will be averted. Large bands of - insurgents , have crossed the frontier and are over running Northern Macedonia, where a tremendous outbreak may occur at any moment. It is expected here that one or two other of the countries will offi cially declare war within the next 48 hours. . . , ) . ' Reports come from Uskub that small detachments . of Turkish troops sent to garrison the villages in the province are committing ter rible outrages on tbe peasants. Tor ture unheard of , is being practiced on men,' women and children. Bul garian residents are unable to pro tect themselves, and there seems no other way than to call the govern ment to the support of tbe terrified. rrinoe Ferdinand 13 very myste rious in his movements, and si ace yesterday has been . lost sight of completely. His position is one of certainty on the subject of war, and with his return to Sofia the hnal climax will come. , . . , The fearful excesses in interior Macedonia are subjects for many shocking stories. ; I) is stated today that the Bulgarian populace is al most frenzied in its eagerness to take up arm's against the Turks, but the low ebb of national finances exerts a pacifying influence.

Hillsboro, Or., Sept. l.'A bold and partially successful robbery in a dwelling house was committed here just outside the city limits this morning , at 2 o'clock. A thief en tered tbe upper story of E. H. War ren's house, went into an apartment occupied by Mrs. F. B. MacKinder, of St. Helena. Cal., a guest at the Warren place; and robbed her of $7 in cash, a watch, valued at $1UU and two valuable rings. The rob ber was cool and collected , but ov erlooked . $50 in currency whi h was wrapped up in a handkerchief, and which was in the same hand satchel from 'which he took the money he made way with, Mrs. MacKinder was first awaken? ed by a cloth, saturated with chlor oform, being thrust in her face. She screamed and aroused Miss Minnie Warren, who came into the room and insisted on remaining there. .The noiss awakened ' Mr. Warren, who slept on the ground floor, and who came up stairs arm ed with a rock.' The burglar told Mr. Warren to put tbe missle on tbe floor, and when he did not com ply with orders, fired a shot in his direction. - : - The three inmates of the bouse were in fear of their lives and were unable to make much resistance. Miss Warren was very active how ever, and at .one time nearly un masked the offender. . She is posi tithat8he knevr' feher manV and has dee bribed his clothirg and the hat he " wore. Identification -was not entirely impossible, as the burg lar had l'ghted a lamp to assist in his work. . The current descrip tion is that the thief , wore a dark suit, a dark Derby hat, and black hose, having removed his shoes. He was of medium height and build and had brown eyts. . " Hillsboro, Or., Sept. 2. Rev. R. H. Kennedy, a Congregational min ister, who has within the last few years preached in several Washing ton county pulpits, was this after noon arrested on a warrant charg ing him with burglarizing tbe bouf e of E. H. Warren end holding up Mrs. MacKinder, Miss Warren and her father. Tne description of the burglar as given by the ladies who saw bim by lamplight, answers to Kennedy. Moreover, Kennedy had been a fre quent visitor to the Warren home, knew Mrs. MacKinder was there, aad that she was to leave for Cali fornia this week. He was not un familiar with the house, and the man - who effected the robbery showed an intimate acquaintance with the construction of the build ing. .' ! y--- :- ' r.h,,v The ladies were in a position to recognize the voice, although there was an attempt to disguise it. The officers think that the bur glar came from the ' direction of Portland and that he first came to this city directly after tb? , robberv THE OLD -;Ab.aolytej3Pu there: eg no and then went back to Portland by another road. . - . Mr. Kennedy has a wife and six small children, residing in thia place. For several months he ha been without a regular charge and bas bad but little income from preaching. . He has Jbeen trying to locate parties on timber claims over the state for some time. Mrs. R. Wagner, an estimable. German woman, residing on ' tha next block to the Kennedy home, alleges that shortly afier 2 in the morning she heard a noise over at the minister's house, as of some one moving about. Her husband states that this was about 2:15, which gives plenty of time in which to cover the distance from the Warren residence. The Warren family are highly re spected, educated and people with no prejudices. Miss Warren's brav ery in trying to tear the mask from tbe intruder's face shows that she was not so excited but that she could make a fairly judicial exam ination of the man who rtol" the money, watcb and ring', Aside from this her high eeoce f. honor -would not permit her 10 wrong another, and her ideas as to whom the robber is have weight with the community.'. Mr, Kennedy asserts his inno cence and says he will be able to prove ah alibi. He was very cool after the effects of the arrest .wore away, and states that he is very much surprised. Justice Bagely fixed hia bail at $1000. Kennedy was unable to find bondsmen and will spend the night in jail. Mr. Kennedy is from 35 to 40 years of age, probably 5 feet 7 or 8 inches in height, well made, bat not very heavy, dark brown eyes, dark hair inclined to curl. He wears a black suit, sack coat, and black derby. He is finely educated and uses the best of language. He claims to be expecting money from the;nda'IQ.vtalkie2 of buying a valuable property here. it isaia that be has made liberal ubo of his credit. ' A peculiar feature of the whole , afFiir is that Miss Warren and her father were great admirers of Mr. Kennedy and made a spirited at tempt eome months ago to bave him retained as pastor of the Con gregational church for another year. Albany, Or., Sept. 2. J. H. Kennedy who was arrested for rob bery in Hillsboro, was pastor of the Congregational church in Albany for about two years. He came bere from California in September, 1900. Mr. Kenoedy, who is a graduate of . Harvard University, is a fluent talker with a pleasant address and his congregation was large at first. But his career in Albany was mete oric and after the first few months Kennedy' success was submerged in his growing unpopularity. But little over a year after coming to Albany Mr. Kennedy lost the last vestige of influence by bis identifi cation with the Anti-Saloon League. His congregation dwindled away until he spoke to empty seats. Ken nedy was president of the Anti-Saloon League, was active to the ex tent of radicalism and many ar- - ICOtO - m J UUMUV uuiiug VMM WAUDMUW under his leadership. , . ; v : In the fall of 1902 Kennedy mov ed to Forest Grove and supplied a pulpit in Hillsboro.
