Kroui the San L>ie^a Union we get
.Lit Interesting story of the unto
.uvj fortunes of these who sailed
to the golden shores of the Pacific
o:» board the Hill line steamship.
Northern Pacific, says the Portland
Telegram.
It is neither a story of shipwreck
tier of mutiny; although had a mu
tinous phase of it cropped out and
developed to some vigor, we could
not have expressed astonishment.
It was a case of suspected small
pox discovered in the first cabins
when the vessel was off Sun Lucas
lli.it was the uub of the story; and
before the doctors, ship aud shore.
i-'Ot through with it, aud with all
tuoae who might be affected by it,
I he center of the tale was sticking
o.it at every point of the circutufer
• nee.
As sooir as the tirsl-cla.-s passou
.;er "developed symptoms" of small
,>o\. lie was isolated and his state
room and belongings fumigated at
the order of the ship's surgeon; aud
by the same autocratic authority, ev
ery passenger and every member of
the crew was vaccinated without de
lay. That was the first step made
iho more effective by the limi
tations of shipboard, and against
which Uu oue apparently rebelled.
Hut the e was more to follow.
When the North evi; Pacific was
o.f I'oi'.it l.oma, at the entrance to
S.:u Diego bay, the coroner, re
present'eg the local litMltb office,
.ogether with another doctor, t>ut
i>t' to the ship; aud as soon as
they learned of the "developed
>ymotoms" of small pox. they or
k!ere1 the shii) to proceed to quar
antine ground, after which they
proceeded to do other things.
A.» the report states they vaccin
ate I everybody all over again, fumi
gated the shiD, the passengers, the
ere v and their belongings; and hav
ing tlius double-shotted the urecau
tion :igainst the spread of the "de- I
vr-io^ed symptoms," they forbade
. nyone to come ashort.
At this point in the story wt
li-tv«» the first and only manifesta
tion of evasion or rebellion. Three
passengers did lea\e the s iit) desjjit
the prohibition and watchfulness;
they did enter the fair city of >an
Diego, and ihence we-nded their
several ways according to the bent
their business or pleasure, car
rying the germs of those "develop
ed symptoms" with them, to be
scattered as devastating enemies of
health up and down the Pacific
i-oas'.
As we understand, the Northern
Pacific proceeded directly from
.]'.iar?ntine, c-ff Polut Loma, to San
Francisco. This was wise, undoubt
edly. as it avoided repeated vaccina
tions and fumigations at the sug
gestion of tcroners and others all
the way uo the coast.
There are few who will not admit
that the professional fear of "de
veloped symptoms" was somewhat
ever-worked in this ease.
IU'RMXG THE CANDLE
Tlie defeat ol' Jack Johuson b>
Joss Wiliard is geueraliy attrtbuteu
to his age. From tlio stauu
poiut of athletics, he is going (luwu
tue declivity of life at tue ripe age
ot thirty-seven. He excelled Wil
iard ill science uud still, but got
tired quicker.
Baseball constantly gives these
instances 01' bo me loss of physi
cal power at an early age. The
great majority of the successful
players are under thirty. Over that
age soino lack of elasticity and en
durance commonly begins to unfit
a man for the fastest play.
It would be a melancholy reflec
tion for the average man, if he
aad to admit that at the age of
thirty-five he was going down hill,
in busiuess the years trom forty to
fifty are commonly called the prime
of life. The man who shows decid
ed sigus of physical decay at fifty
das usually abused himself either
ay dissipation or overwork.
Many ineu start with a meager
equipment of physical strength, but
jy rational exercise aud sane living
are stronger at fifty, capable of
greater physical exertion, than they
•vere at thirty.
Young people take 1 ride in their
seeming ability to defy the stupid
laws of health. They bolt their
tood, cut short their sleep, and
indulge in harmful vices. The
spirit of youth keeps them going,
until one day something snaps. It
nu.y take years to recover.
It is often said that the way to
live long is to have some incurable
disease, for instance, gossiping. The
man who starts out with a slender
tquipment of physical power, by care
ful husbanding of his forces often
lives into the eighties. Meanwhile
physical marvels like Jack Johnson
or the ball players throw the cream
of their power into moments of su
prtrns strain.
There may he more physical
in such an hour tuaa in years of
plodding efforts of daily life. It
is yet to be proved that athletic
i>rowess assure® either long life or a
Wealthy old age.—Pocotello Tribune.
