Mark Twain has retired from the
public platform forever. His appear­
ance at Missouri university, where he
received his degree of LL. 1)., was his
last as a public speaker. On this oc­
casion he talked for nearly an hour.
He was in a brilliant mood. There wm
a flash in every word be uttered, and
and he proved the truth of the asser­
tion of Julian Hawthorne, that no man
im the world can handle a joke for all
it is worth and bring It out so forcibly
and dearly as Mark Twain.
The audience laughed and laughed
again, but some of them cried when the
speaker said in tones that shook with
suppressed emotion that be was bid­
ding Missouri and old friend« farewell
forever.
“Please announce in the papers,”
said Twain, “that I have retired for­
ever from the public platform.” When
interviewed concerning the recent dis­
patches to the effect that the German
translations of his works have been
excluded by the Russian authorities.
Mark Twain was not a Lit worried. “I
am not in the least surprised,” said the
humorist. “The books of hundreds of
other authors are excluded every year
from Russia, and the fact that my
works are barred gives me little con­
cern. I am but one of a vast number
whose books have been excluded and
are being shut out every day by the
Russian authorities and I take it as no
special compliment that 1 am among
so many.
“Russia has a great many Germans
in it» population and is gradually Rus­
sianizing them, and naturally it does
not wish any literal ore circulated that
would influence any of the people in
favor of a monarchy.
“Tn some of my works T may have
said something that could have been
colored Into a pronounced expression
of views against the Russian govern­
ment. and it is probable that this ac­
counts for the fact that, nr» y bonks have
been barred, and I think that the polit­
ical cast of some of my stories is alone
responsible.”
One of the most important announce­
ments <>f the Yale commencement sea­
son was the reference by President
liadley, in his address* to the plan of
a group of Yale men to establish a
mission in the far east. This mission,
which is the first of its kind to be
established by graduates of any Amer­
ican college, is to be conducted along
the broudot lines, carrying on evan­
gelical, medical ami especially edu­
cational work in a largo student cen­
ter in north China. It is to be unde­
nominational nnd independent of any
existing society, but will work in har­
mony with them, and in specially cinee
sympathy with the American* bonrd.
This last-named society has pron i^ed
its moral support and it»cooperation
in certain practical matters, such a»
the purchase and distribution of sup­
plies.
The mission is to be under the lead--
ership of Rev. Harlan 1*. Bench, of the
clas» of 187H, at preseivt educational

movement, nnd from 1883 to 1890 a

this capacity, with the following of­

Tuberculosis Declared to be Acute
and Infectious Malady.
The American congress on tuber
culosis, which has just adjourned its
session at New York city, adopted
strong resolutions that “tuberculosis
is an acute, infectious disease” anJ
urging precautionary measures. The
resolutions frilewt
“Whereas, Tuberculosis is an infec­
tious disease, ordinarily communicat­
ed from person to person by means
of the dried sputum of a consump­
tive patient; and
“Whereas, The spread of tubercu­
losis could be largely controlled by
proper care of such sputum and the
enforcement of comparatively simple
measures; therefore be it
“Resolved, By the American con­
gress on tuberculosis, that the health
authorities be urged to disseminate
to the
widest
extent
possible
through the public press and other­
wise, correct information as to the
manner in which this disease is pro­
duced and the moans to be employed
for its prevention.
“Resolved, That we believe it to be
the duty of the national, state and
municipal governments to enact ra­
tional methods for the prevention of
tuberculosis, and we recommend the
establishment of institutions for the
care of indigent consumptives.
“Resolved, That there should br
state and municipal supervision of ail
public conveyances for the trans­
portation of passengers, and in view
of the fact that spitting on the floors
of public conveyances favors the
spread of tuberculosis and is injuri­
ous to the public health, it is recom-
mended that transportation compa-
»lies be induced to pass and to en-
force rules against this act.
“Resolved,
That
appropriation»
should be requested from state and
municipal governments for the pub­
lication and distribution of literature
as a means of education in the pre­
vention of the spread of tuberculosis
“Resolved. That all cases of tuber-

tending physician to the health
boards for the purpose of disinfec-

lives.“

Maladie«.
Because of the discovery that op-
thulmia. a disease of the eye», is preva­
lent among a large proportion of the
pupils in the public schools of New
York city, the board of health has
placed it on the list of contagious dis-
rase». and physicians hereafter will
l>e compelled to make reports of each
case found in their private practice.
Through investigations made in
two of the public schools, where the
eyes of about 2,000 children were ex­
amined, it was found that at least 18
per cent, had the disease. In one of
the schools 20 per cent, of the chil­
dren wrre afflicted, and in the other
15 per cent.
According to the physician who
made the investigation, the disease
may be contracted through using a
handkerchief or towel that has been
previously used by an afflicted per­
son.
