PLAGUE.
KOBE DECLARED INFECTED.
That the port of Kobe, Japan, has been declared plague infected by the Shanghai port authorities does not mean much to a landlubber, remarks the Shanghai Gazete, but to the sea- man and those who have interests in Shipping it means quite a lot. It have to make that port and which means, first, that all vessels which
arrive at this port within ten days of their departure must go under quarantine and be fumigated. When discharging, all lines that are used to make the cargo boats fast must not have rat geards placed thereon. If the steamer is allowed to go alongside the wharf-and this is only done when a vessel has been out more than one week and no infection is observed- they must have fenders out so that the steamer is at least four feet from the wharf and the fender lines must be made fast to the wharf. The cost of the fumigation is nothing com- pared to the cost of the delay, as a large ocean steamer costs many thousands of dollars per day to run, but if they have to pass up the port, then there is the loss of cargo for which the companies had all prepara- tion made.
ROMANCE OF MILLIONS.
Mr. John Wanamaker, who is lead-i ing the way in "breaking prices" in America, is a rare combination of good business man, practical philan thropist, and honest politician. He has sometimes been called the "White- ley of America"--because he employs 5,000 persons; serves 250,000 meals each day, heats his, store with 100 miles of steam pipes, and every sum- mer day sells3,000 quarts of icecream. The man who owns this colossal business was the son of a brick- maker, and began his career on a salary of one dollar per week. By the age of twenty he had saved one hundred dollars, which he increased to 2,000 dollars by an investment in real estate, and thereby laid the toundations of his millions..
