I vi ? i>i irg Plague Spreads to the ArUcocratlc Portion of City. f St. Petersburg, Sept. 23.-Not only bas the number of cases of Asiatic cholera-in this city increased to-day, but tbe disease has Invaded the aris tocratic precincts of St. Petersburg. It has even reached the Winter Pal ace, one case having been discovered in the servants' quarters of the pal ace, In which extensive preparations are going on, in the expectation that the Emperor and Empress will spend part of the coming season in the capi tal. Other cases have been discover ed In the palace of Grand Duke Nlch ?olas Nlcolalevitcb, the Taurlde Pal lace, the palace of Prince Alexander Oldenburg, a cousin of the Emperor, and the Imperial Opera House. A number of diplomats and promi nent society people have hurried their departure abroad, but the exodus has been checked to a considerable ex tent by the prospect of being "held In quarantine at the frontier. In order to test the efficiency of vaccination in cholera cases several graduate students of St. Petersburg University voluntarily permitted themselves to be vaccinated, after which they drank a solution of chol era germs.

C., Sept. 21.-For the next three weeks the national capital will be the scene of such a crusade as. perhaps, never before has been witnessed against humanity's worst common foe-the white plague. It will be an educational campaign, world-wide in its scope, the ultimate object of which ls to eradicate, If possible, from the ends of the earth a disease which, statistical experts declare, cuts short the lives of from one-tenth to one-eighth of the civ ilized population. Such distinguish ed foreigners as Dre. Robert Koch, of Berlin; Dang, of Copenhagen; A. Calmette, of Lille, France; N. Theo dore Tendeloo, of Leyden; G. W. Philip, of Edinburgh; C. Van Pir quet, of Vienna; G. Sims Woodhead, of Cambridge; Lydia Rabluowitsch, of Berlin; Camilo Calleja, of Valla dolid, Spain; T. lshlgami, ot Osaka, Japan, and noted American doctore and scientists and others who have devoted their lives in an effort to solve this problem, will actively par ticipate. The campaign will be carried on by the coming Iutprnational Con gress on Tuberculosis in its sixth an nual session, which will meet in the United States for the first time, at the new Natioal Museum, in this city. This congress, which might fittingly be called a real world's congress on tuberculosis, will mark an epoch In the antl-tuberculosls mo* nnent in this country. The initial step will be taken to morrow night, when there will be a public opening at the new National Museum, in connection with the con gress, with a tuberculosis exposition. It will bo one of the largest, the most important, and In every way the most comprehensive exhibit, ever assem bled, and it will be illustrative of what is being done throughout the ? world in the fight against tuberculo sis. While the display is connected with tho congress, lt is not so closely ' related as to be taken as the official opening of the congress. That im portant ovent will occur one week later, Septembor 28. ? Healthy kidneys filter the impuri ties from the blood, and unless they do this good health ls Impossible.

(Anderson Mail.) Mr. Cansler, of Tirzah, was a can didate for Railroad Commissioner two years ago, and several times be fore that, if wo remember correctly. In filing his expense account two years ago he put in an Item for "ono bath, 25 cents." He was defeated by several thousand votes. This year he was a candidate again, and In his ex pense account he put In an item for "nine baths at 25 cents each, $2.25. And he was defeated by only several hundred votes, lt would appear that Mr. Cansler has made some progress toward cleanliness in politics, and that tho people have been duly ap preciative. It may be argued that if Mr. Cansler had taken Just a few more baths he would have been elect ed. But beforo committing yourself to that theory it would be well to re member that tho expense of Mr. Caughmnn. who was elected, did not show that he took any baths at all. Of course Mr. Caughman may have taken a bath every week, or every day, during the campaign, but ho cannot prove it by the c molal record, his expense account, and theieln Mr. Cansler has the advantage over linn. The record offered by Mr. Cansler of fers a wide field for comparisons and speculations. Does lt pay for a poli tician to bathe or not? OABTOHIA. Btw th? J* The Kind You Have Always BougM THEY WANT HASKELL BOUNCED. Democratic Committeemen Ready to Use Influence Against Him. New York, Sept. 23.-It became known at Democratic headquarters to-night that several national com mitteemen are preparing to use every influence to bring about the removal of Governor Chas. N. Haskell from the office of treasurer ot the national committee. This is the result of tba publica tion of charges that Mr. Haskell, as Governor of Oklahoma, declined to permit the State to prosecute the Prairie Oil Company, a subsidiary company of thc Standard Oil Ccm= ! pany. Charges that Governor Haskell had beeu Identified with several railroad promotions in' this city, which are said to have beeu unfortunate in tho matter of consummation, are said to-night to have also tended to iucreaae the feelings of the national committeemen that the time has come for Haskell to resign from the committee or be removed. National Chairman Mack is taking no action in the matter at present, nor would he state to-night what the outcome might be with reference to the Has kell matter, though his attitude is known to be such as to oppose the continuance on the committee of any man whose affiliations are proved to be with the corporations, which are opposed by Bryan. Haskell Has Resigned. Washington, Sept. 23.-The resig nation of Governor Charles H. Has kell ns treasurer of the Democratic campaign committee ls already lu the hands of the Democratic Natloual Committee, and has been since he left Chicago several days ago for Ok lahoma. It is Bald on Democratic authority here that as early as the Denver convention certain Demo cratic leaders ot national reputation learned that Governor Haskell had flgifYed in certain corporation mat ters in the past, which made it in consistent for him to appear as one of the leaders lu an anti-corporation campaign. These men also understood that Governor Haskell had been very close to the Standard OH Company, and while he lived in Ohio was a business associate of Senator Brice and a rail road promoter in Ohio and New York. The Democratic leaders were somewhat concerned, therefore, when Mr. Bryan selected him for treasurer of the campaign committee. At the first suggestion from Mr. He n st of Hie relations of Haskell to the Standard OH Company the lead ers of the Democracy told Mr. Bryan that he would find it hard to defend his treasurer, and at the same time Governor Haskell was advised to place his resignation at the disposal of the national committee to meet any contingency that might arise, lc is the understanding of men here who are familiar with the facts that Governor Haskell left for his home lu Oklahoma with no Intention of returning to his duties as treasurer. Upon the known facts regarding the Haskell resignation ls based the interest'ug theory that Mr. Bryan will, as soon ns he has read Presi dent Roosevelt's letter addressed to him to-day, announce Mr. Haskell's withdrawal In a way to derive as much political advantage as possible from a situation which was forced upon him.

WIM, HAVE HISGEN ELECTORS. \ - . "Mat" Tighe instate to Select Presi dential Electors. (Columbia Cor. News and Courier.) The Independence party, better known as the Hearst party, will put out an electoral ticket in South Caro lina. This announcement may not create any great political excitement, but nevertheless the announcement is made, and lt may be interesting, even if not exciting. Matthew F. Tighe, formerly head of the Columbia Bu reau of the News and Courier, was in the city to-day. He is now head t>{ the Hearst newspaper syndicate bureau in the National Capital, and because of his familiarity with men and. conditions In this State has been sent to South Carolina for the pur pose of opening up the Independence party campaign. Mr. Tighe has been in Greenville, where Mr. Ihmsen was with him; but he is alone here on his political mission and Mr. Ihmsen is in Florida.* Mr. Tighe went to Charleston to-night, and there may be some neld for his efforts in Char leston, where lt is said to be a diffi cult job to keep alive the Ares of "true Democracy." It may not be a matter ot great difficulty to put out an electoral ticket in this State. All that you have to do is to get nine qualified electors who do not hold office of any kind; they cannot even be notaries public or directors in a national bank, and it is not hard to find nine men who are neither, though it may be harder to find nine men who would not like to be both. At any rate, that is all that has to be done. Under the laws of this State it is not even necessary to call a convention of the party the electoral ticket can be Just put out just so, and Mr. Tighe says it will bo done. It is not yet deter mined who will composo the ticket and it does not yet appear that there will be any unseemly scramble to get a place thereon. Mr. Tighe does not seem very hopeful of carrying South Carolina for Hisgen and Graves, although Col. Graves was born and educated in this State. In fact, he concedes this State to Bryan and Kern. Hisgen and Graves, it may be well to state, are the nominees of the Hearst party for President and Vice President respec tively. The Independence party has a na tional committeeman in this State. He lives in Fort Mill. York county, but he is all the organization that ls at this time apparent. Col. J. Con way Garlington was at one time of cially connected with the organiza tion, but later resigned, declining to desert the good old Democratic party, which is now as ever strong In Lau rens county.

After a conference between the prosecutor and counsel for Eberhard lt was stated to the court to-day that the prisoner had agreed to plead non vult. The prisoner's counsel said Eberhard's grandfather died in an Insane asylum, that his sister now ls in an institution for the insane and that young man himself had been act ing strangely for some time prior to the crime. Judge Parker said the very fact that Eberhard had agreed to change his plea proved that his mental derangement was not severe enough to absolve him from punish ment. There remained nothing for the court to do, he said, hut to Im pose sentence immediately. Eber hard heard the sentence without a tremor. Night Hiders Post Another Notice.
