THE OUTBREAK AT VIENNA A VERITABLE TRAGEDY. A veritable tragedy of modern sol ence ts the outbreak of the buboni plague tn Vienna, It haa already Kill- d a doctor and a laboratory assistant, and threatens the lives of many other persons. Jn Professor Nothnagel's laboratory, where this outbreak originated, exper iments have been conducted with the plague germa since the outbreak tm the Bast, nearly two years ago, of ihe most dreadful of all epidemic diseases. Tt recetvea great attention from the medical prof esion of Vienna, because, on account-of that city's proximity to the Exst.-the plagye is more feared there than elnowhero. in Europe.

Theiy-wearers svere so proud ,of them that they emphasized them by bright colors, such as violets, reds and blues. The gloves were wonderously embroidered and starred with jewels. No gloves were finer then those of the clergy: They were mostly of white sill or linen, cunningly embroidered and sometimes fringed with pearls. One ec- clesigatic had a red silk pair, with the am worked on the back, surrounded with a golden glory, and later on they bad gloves to match their different vestments. In fact, gloves had departed from the primary irteas of utilitygand become q decora- ttton.

The pessimist, regarding only the in- Ignities and injustices of the. present has only to turn back one hundred years to find that the world really move on, that our to-morrows will surely be brighter than the yesterdays. A Writer in Chambers Journal says of One Hundred Years Ago in Eng- Jana : England was at war with Prince. To furnish food for powder the recruiting sergeant was assisted by the prise gaiig. In 1798 Nelson won the battle of the Nila und broke the Sein power of Napoleon. The land cam- Paigns of Wellington had freed the Peninsula, But the slave trade in our eoloties Hlouxjshed.

Pook- et torouzhs flourished; political de- Dauche?y was rampant. There was no police force. Superstition reigned su- prams; every village had its wise wo- man and fortune teller. Ducts were common; so wero dinbolical outrages at 66a, Men were executed for high treason, forgery and horse stealing. Hanging, drawing and quartering were the cherished punishments of the orim- inal code. The hemp crop-was the most flourishing and fruitful of harvests.

It is ssid that when the Treneh, at tho beginning of the cen- tury, were in aa of the island, omen sare sulin uch indignities.that they were order- ci-by their priests to wear the Fal- deta or Hood of Shame for a period of 100 years. This period will soon elapse, and it is n subject for speculation whether the natives will discontinue the Fal- deta or not.

THE MAN WHO TRIED TO SAVE BARNEY BARNATO'S LIFE. Be Stamped tate the Sea From a Batp- Por M He Got un anny Metres. The Iast act of Barney Barnato ite waa'to make the fortune of a young naval officer. The diaimoni king of South Africa, who had beon the ru ad blessing of to many lives, prob- ably did nat.contemplate this result of his suicide when be leaped from the saloon of the royal mail steamer Scot, on the way from Cape Town to Sout ampton, for it was almost certain dea'h to battle with the high waves that were surging at the time. And out of the 1,500 persons on board the ship but one was willing to court destruc tion for the off chance of axving Bak- ney ,Barnato, whom he barely knew. This was Mr, -W. T. Clifford, fourth Officer of the Scot, ono of the bravest men and most powerful swimmers in the British m rebant marine. His be- reie effort proved futile, but it paya to be a hero for all that, since young Clifford hue jost won for his bride a beautiful young South African heir 08, who witnessed her fover s gallant aotion, Aid Used it to win over am ovstinute father. Mrs. Barnato, more-, over, hag settled a handsome annuity on Olifford, and-his bank account is welled to good proportions by se al testimonials of 500 each, the gifts of Johannesburg citizens and two st amship companiss. 9 Gor interested in the outcome. of Clifford's courtship, and the happy culmination of it whioh is to take place in Port, Elizabeth, ape Colony, in December, will be the occasion for s town dem- onstration, and general rejoicing am- ong admirera of the brave young Clit- ford. Wor some essen, th: of Miss Gertrude Rodney, the naval officer's pledged wife, had a dislike for Clif- ford, and objeoted strongly to his at-. tentions which begun on the voyage to England, when Barney Barnato was a fellow passenger, and several officers ot the Sco: told the writer, who made the trip out to Africa on that vessel Just after the dinmand king's esoap te, that Clifford bad performed his feat as much for the effect on Miss Rod- ney as to save Barpato. However, it was bravery of the most admirable kind, and the romance in it must be sonsidered only secondary. b CLIFFORD'S BRAVERY. When Mr. Barnato went. overboard the Soot was steaming at the rate, of seventeen Inola an hour. The weath- er was thick, and the summit of the peak of Teneriffe on the Grand Can- aries could just be deseried through the heavy. atmosphere. It was imme- diately. after linch on a Monday and the captain had ordered full steam ahead in order to make the port of Fan- chal, Madeira, in twelve hours. Barnato, of course, was the eynosure of the , except for the fourth officer, who was so intent on making love to Miss Rodney that the eccentric diamond magnate gave him little concern. Ru- snd bad tried to take hi times, were in circulation, but bis health seemed so much improved that no one looked for what was to happen. While warking:on (ie saloon deok midahips, smoking a cigar-with his companion; Mr. Solly Joel, Barnato, who seemed in high spirits, suddenly asked the tima of day, wrenched him- Self from Joel's arm und. jumped over the rail. At this moment Clifford was bend- ing over Miss Rodney, who sat on a deck chair aft. At the ery of man overboard he ran up the steps lend- ing to the hurricmne deck, shouted the alarm and tore off his coat. 0, Mr. Uiitilord, begged the younr womin, you're not going to jump overboard? But turning only to look at her for u sccond, the-fourth offi- cer, clad in negligee shirt and duck troumsrs, made no reply, but. took a long dive, while the Scot was rolling to starboard, and disappeared in the white capa, For-some tinte he could be seen when plunging on the crest of wave, striking out in the wake of the ship, and then the hundreds of pas- sengers who had crowded aft in auch numbers as (o almost endanger the Vessel, lost sight of him. The rather cold and reserved Miss Rodney, in (he meantime, hnd suddenly developed into a very fervid, though radtical. sweetheart, for after dash: fig sbout fram lt;one deck to. another a etate of frenzy, she ran to the davits where the sailors were hestily lowering a row boat and did what she could to aid them, ax sha thought Before the ship could be stopped Bar- arate tat hen left two mites ns-artr Clifford-badsuwam nearly to him. The latter was picked up first, all but worn out, He had been entirely submerged half of the time. : In apite of this tremendous exertion. Clifford on the return voyage, when the writer was a passenger, carried off the honor at athletic gumes which ar alwaya the feature of a these steamers. The games Inst thies days, and the prizes in money ure suf- ficient to incite strong competition After (winning the 200-yard not an easy job to'keep one's feet on a rolling deck, Glifford took part in le race, winning it by 2 amall 2 (he captain's steward, Thess two were the only ones able to finish, the other sight men becom- ing exbausted, for this raco in aaav- ere test of endurance, and only x per- son with . perfect physique o The contestants wore with delirium before bourdivg the stip life thres voyage om) dash against very fust company, and it in A, heart hasiong been his sole aim, started off witht a ptetef shot give on firat a 100-yerd, dash, Thea fellows ed six hurdles, ping the rigging, long jumps, bund over hand up ropes, gauntlet through a file of eailora, each of whom held threeinch ows and half a dozen other unique obsta cles.

When a man through thia he is generally about done for. But Clifford wns barely winded, and emerged smiling. THE ZULU SIDE STROKE He ascribes his physical prowess te continual swimming when a boy aidng the Afriesn coast. Capt. Clifford, hig fathor, was for a long time port oa tain of East London, and young Clit ford was knocking about shi moat Gilde tims end leurding. (ofthe tice the amphibious natives. From the Zula beya he learned powerful side stroke which he combines with the English broad stroke in fast swim ming. 1 When his father became captatm in the Cantle lino steamers tho boy waa iaken on prentice and socom, decame a dmart sailor.

It was on hia) third voyage in that vessel, when om Tune, 1877, Barney Barnato did the young officer such a good turn. + Clifford. is-now 28-yents old, but is tooked. upon as one of the most offi- cient officera in iho al naval re werve, Be is 5 fest 5 inches In height and has shoulders so broad that they seem entirely out of proportion to (ha rest of his body.
