Cholera's dead this week do not number more than 15,000, if the returns are approximately trne. Hamburg's total ueath roll has mounted to about 7,000 and the plague has renewed in some degree its in .ensity in that stricken city. In Russia, However, there has been marked improve ment, and the disease is rapidly disappear ing in many places in Western Europe, where it threatened to become a great scourge. Paris continues to be a danger point, although the daily reports Riven out by the authorities indicate that the pesti lence is subsiding. It was asserted in these dispatches a week ago that the authorities ot Paris had been guilty of criminal folly in concealing the facts about cholera in that capital. Ample proof ot the charge in addition to the evi dence then at hand is now available. I quote from a letter several davs delaved, just received at the London office of The Dispatch from Dr. Louis L. Seaman, late chief ol the medical stall at Blackwell's Island. He says: The Genuine Cholera of Asia. ''The facts regarding the cholera epidemic lere have been so misrepresented by the ess, which is either subsidized or muzzled :he interests of the authorities and shop pers whose rich harvests are now being hered from returing continental trav rs, that after a careful personal inspec i and examination I deem it my duty to jce the following truths before you, to be d as your judgment dictates: The dition of Paris to-day is second y to that of Hamburg. It aid be equally bad were it for its broad boulevards, its beautiful ks and its perfect cleanliness. The acy of terming the prevailing disease alerine,' or merely a severe form of rrhcea, is most monstrous and criminal in deception of the public. It is the mine cholera of Asia, the Tonquin riety, less contagious than the Ganges, t tqually deadly. I have seen both types China and in Calcutta, Benares and ler cities of India, and speak knowingly. "Through the courtesy of an old profes- onal friend I was to-day smuggled into the ards and morgue of l'Hotel Dieu, the irgest hospital in Paris. There were but sw cholera patients in the main bnilding, ut in the annex, the old building across the Seine, there were 28 cases. Eleven deaths occurred here during the previous 21 iours. So Fossible Chance of mistake. "I witnessed two autopsies. There was no mistaking the character of the patholog ical conditions. A large proportion of the deaths occur within six hours from the onset of the disease. Those surviving 24 hours are comparatively safe. At the Hospital St Antoine the daily admissions are from CO to 60. .Nearly CO per cent die. In the bastion at Ifo. 36 Porte Ornans, the annex of the Hospital Bichat, which I also personally Tisited, there were 17 deaths yesterday. This institution is situated at the old forti fications, and during the past three days 03 patients have been admitted, 40 of whom are now dead. Of the 23 admitted yester day 14 were dead before midnight The disease prevails principally in the Tenth, Eleventh and Nineteenth arrondissements, and almost every hospital in the city, in cluding the la Charite, has its quota of pa tients. "The ignorance of the danger that menaces the public is sublime. There is no excite ment or alarm except among the authori ties. There is no discussion of the subject In the medical journals, and as it is the sea son of vacations there are no meetings of the medical societies. It is time, however, that intending visitors should know the truth, and I trust that TnE Dispatch will not hesitate to proclaim it" Terrible Tidlng Trom Toland. At last there are tidings from Poland. The Great Death has been there, and the people fell down before him like the trees or a forest before the breath of a tornado. The first chapter of the story is told in a long article in to-day's Tuna from the pen of Hall Caine, who describes the situation of that desolate people when the shadow of the new calamity first fell on them. I give t wo pictures which he draws of scenes in o ne of the larger Polish towns. "I visited one of the prayer houses on Saturday morning. No Christian, and per haps no Hebrew who knows the Hebrew worship only by what may be seen at the great synagogues of London and Berlin, with their touching, beautiful and inspir ing services, can have more than the remot est idea of the wild scene in one of these Polish prayer houses when the Great Death has terrified the worshipers. The room was small perhaps 15 feet square and some 80 men and boys were crowded into it. In the middle there was i deal table with the tora stretched over it Three or four men stood about the table and one of them was reading aloud. The rest of !he worshipers were not listening, but each was praying from his own prayer book, in varying tones. Most of them were stand ing, and many were twisting and bowing ajid rising and stooping as they cried and sji.ng or even shouted and shrieked. A few if ere sitting and mumbling by the wall, with their books on their knees and their eaus on tneir nanus. Beating His Forehead Vflth Bricks. "One old man in the corner with his face to the wall was beating his foreheal with bricks, clapping his hand, throwing out his arms, turning up his face and casting it down again. The babel was terrible. The asmosphere was sickening. To Western eyes there was no solemnity in this worship, but much that ias fanatical and almost j barbaric It was a wild crying out, an Im portunate appealing to God, a sort of tear ing down of heavenly meroy, as it by force." And this scene at the Catholic service in the same town: "The church was crowded and the congregation trailett out through the open porch into the churchyard and against the walls, as far as to the shrine on the eastern end, and around again to the western door. Old men and women who were late lay under the open windows with their sticks nnd crutches stretched out beside them. The rest outside were all on their knees, following the serv ice as it proceeded within, clasping their hands, making the sign of the cross, giving the responses and joining in the singing. The service whs almost over before the easing of the crush near to the door ena bled me to push into the interior as lar as to the inner uoor, and then a prayer was being said, asking for the cessation ot the plague that was near at hand. It was said in Polish, and only the substance was made known to me, but its eftect on the congrega tion was a thing that required no in terpreter. From porch to chancel they bent forward on their faces, with their foreheads as near to the earth as their close crowding would permit, and then they be gan to sing. No Such Singing to Be Heard. "I have never heard such singing. ' There was no organ, and if there was a choir its voices were lost in the deep swell of the melancholy wail that rose from the people. When we came out again into the open sunshine the lame with their crutches, the sick, the infirm and the overflowing congrega tion were lrintr nrone on the ground around the church, singing in voices that were like groans to a tune that was like a moan." Some valuable information comes from St Petersburg. As the result of close studv of cholera one investigator writes: "A great manv post mortem examinations have been made on cholera patients in St Petersburg and I believe I am right in saying that in every cae signs of chronic or acute indigestion were present, but generally chronic. Certainly they were present in all the post mortems which I saw myself. This condition, it must be understood, had nothing to do with the cholera, but was of old standing, according to certain infallible signs which need not be placed here. There is an explanation of many things about cholera, its preference for the workmeman, for the habitual drinker. whose stomach is in a state of chronic ca tarrh, and for the foul feeder. Inoculation With. Cholera Virus. M. P.iteurs assistant, Dr. Haffkine, has inoculated atout CO people with cholera virus up te to-day, but no opportunity has yet arisen for thoroughly testing its efficacy. Some of those inoculated are proceeding to infected areas. If they escape it will be no proof of the value of the preventive: if they die we shall be able to form a good idea of the value of the discovery. M. Pasteur himself does not guarantee that the new treatment will seoure people from attack, but he is very sanguine that it may do so. D0LI AND TROUSERS Tho Chief Topics of Conversation In Lon don J list Now Qaeen Victoria's Play things and How She Enjoyed Them Tho Duke of Xork and His Unmention ables. tBT CABLE TO TOE DISPATCH. Loktxmt, Sept 17. The two topics of greatest popular interest in Loudon this week have been Queen Victoria's dolls and the Duke of York's trousers. The Strand Magazine has exhausted an immense extra edition containing an article about the one, and the newspapers have supplied a clamor ous public with columns of matter about the other. The Queen's dolls, be it known, comprise about 100 quaint little figures, which were recently dragged from their hiding place in one of the royal palaces, and which 60 odd years ago were very dear to the Princess Victoria of Kent, then a lonesome little girl in solemn training for the empty but ornamental duties of sovereignty. How bare that child hood was of all companionship and love is told by Her Majesty herself, who, after per sonally revising the Strand article, sent to its author a note containing these words: Victoria a Great Lover of Bolls. "Her Majesty was very much devoted to dolls and, indeed, played with them until she was nearly 14 years old. Her favor ites were small dolls, small wooden dolls, which she could occupy herself with dress ing and who had a house in which they could be placed. None of Her Majesty's children cared for dolls as she did, but then they had girl companions, which she never had. Miss Victoria Conroy, afterward Mrs. Hanmer, came to see her once a week, and occasionally others played with her, but with these exceptions she was left alone with the companionship of her dolls." To modern eyes the Queen's dolls are ujrly little creatures. They are thus de scribed: They are not aesthetically beauti ful, with their Dutch doll type of face. Occasionally, owing to a "chin being a little more pointed or a nose a little blunter, there is a slight variation of expression, but with the exception oi neignts, which ranges from three inches to nine inches, theyare pre cisely the same. There is the queer est mixture ot infancy and matron liness in their little wooden faces, due to the combination of small sharp noses and bright vermilion cheeks, consisting of a big dab of paint in one spot, with broad, placid brows, over which, neatly parted on each temple, are painted elaborate, elderly-grayish curls. The re mainder of the hair is coal black, and is re lieved by a tinv vellow comb perched upon The Trousers Far 3Ioro Important A much more serious subject is the Duke of York's trousers. The royal family and a loyal people are gravely anxious about them. They are even looked upon as a distinct menace to the line of succession. All this alarm has been caused by the statement of a woman dele gate to the trades congress, who said in de bate, the other day, that the Duke of York's trousers had been made next door to a house containing lever patients. - In no way could public attention have been so eflectually directed to the tenement house clothing system, which is used by even the most fashionable tailors. Miss Hicks, the woman who exposed the system, has been called on for more details, and she has given them with a. vengeance. She has told of other tenements where clothing for the roval family hasbeen made, and she has explained that several times she has made the apparel ot the iTince oi afes in her room. Of course there is a great hnllaballo over it all. The Prince of Wales and many others have been interviewing their tailors in vigorous language, and the tailors are denving and expostulating with even greater vehemence. The net result will undoubtedly be a sal utary check to the sweating system in Eng land! ONE PLEDGE FULFILLED. The First Step Taken Toward Ireland's Emancipation A Little Stroke of John Morley's Pen Accomplished Vfliat Bal four Failed to Do for Several Tears. tBT CABLE TO TUB DISPATCH. 1 London", Sept 17. Ireland's release from coercion under John Morlev's rule has come as speedily as was anticipated in these dispatches last week. All the elaborate machinery of Tory oppression has been swept away by a stroke of John Morley's IJtil. J.UC rJIUS Ol trial liir iiipv xce rignts ot aud free speech have been restored to Ire THE land by the revocation of Balfour'i pro clamations of five years ago. The law under which those rights might be again suspended still stands unrepealed, but ft is made a dead letter by Morley'a proclama tion of Wednesday. Thus is the first promise of the new Gov ernment to the Irish people fulfilled, Irish, men, for the first time in five years, are equal before the law with Englishmen, Scotchmen and Welshmen. There hare been no lond rejoicings in Ireland over 'this act of par tial emancipation. The indignity of Tory oppression has been esteemed too deep an insult for its removal to prompt any feel ings of gratitude. Besides, Ireland is look ing forward to a greater emancipation, toward which this is but a step. Morley's action is therefore regarded as merely the fulfillment of an obvious duty, and even the opposition press fails to criticise it. Of course the coercion government is ins tilled by its defenders, who point out that the necessity for the crimes act ceased to ex ist some months ago, but they do not ex plain why Mr. Balfour failed to make the repeal instead of leaving the duty to his successor. Mr. Morley's next problem, and it is the problem of the whole Liberal party, is what to do for the evicted tenants of Ireland during the com ing winter. Things cannot be allowed to take their course without bringing a terrible crisis of misery and discontent a crisis, by the way, which the Tory opposition would regard with selfish equanimity. An imme diate inquiry will probably be undertaken by the new Government, and, when Parlia ment meets, the facts will be clearly put before it, with some plan for assuaging hunger and relieving distress.

HIS PESSIMISM AS TO THE BBPDBII0 rWBITTEN FOB THE DHrATCB.l In a vague, random fashion, I will gather up some memories of Daniel Dougherty as they rest with me after a friendship of over 30 years. I knew him as a boy, when he was kind to me. I knew him in man's estate, to become his intimate friend. I only knew him but to 'honor and love him. Over all the irretrievable years now so sadly mournful that he has gone this friendship rests without a cloud. And as I looked upon his pale face, sealed with night and death, it seemed as if so mnch had gone and that no one could take his place. Nights in England and France with Doughertv came back to me, one memor able evening at the House of Commons, and oar adventures in persuading the guardians of Westminster that we had a right to the galleries. Disraeli reigned in those days and Gladstone was in his prime. It was during those nights at the Commons that Dougherty learned those wonderful imita tions of the manner of the English Parlia mentary .leaders, which afterward adorned his lecture on "Oratory." For Disraeli he had a profound admiration. And one even ing, as he afterwards himself told the story with harmless application while we were in the lobby, Disraeli came from the house bareheaded, stately, the debate on, the Speaker seen in his chair through the clos ing door. Sadden Descent From the Sublime. "Look, my Lord, he comes." and by in- stinot we turned and paced after him the way he was going. He walked slowly, head bent, eyes introspective and flashing.

In the throes of a conceived rebellion came the news that Major Anderson had one night transferred his command from Fo rt Moultrie to Fort Sumter. Buchanan was President, and dallying with the Confeder ate leaders; who were exchanging essays with him-on the abstract right of secession, while their folks at home were cleaning the guns and mixing the powder. Floyd, and Thompson were In the Cabinet The trans fer awakened the anger of the South, mean ing as it did that Anderson had mqed from a trap into a fortress. In good faith Buchanan must order .Anderson baok, mnst command him to leave the fortress and re-enter the trap. Buchanan, who in the hands of the strenuous Slldell was even as clay in the potter's hand, agreed. Stan ton, temporarily in the Buchanan Cabinet as Attorney General, was in despair. He thought of Sickles theu Congressman from New York who had been Secretary of Le gation to Buchanan when English Minister, and was on familiar terms with the Presi dent Sickles, with the instinct of genius, saw the war coming, saw its magnitude, and had thrown himself prone upon the Union cause. Stanton implored Sickles to arrest Buchanan's fatal resolution. In vain-r-back to Moultrie Anderson must go. For Slldell had said it, ami who dare challenge the imperious mandate? How Buchanan Was Complimented. But Sickles was of all men living the last to be baffled. So swift went a dispatch to Dougherty, "Meet me at the early train withont fail, even if the heavens fall" There sure, in the cold wintry morning, was Dougherty; waiting, breakfastless, to chafe and grieve over the news. "Go swift, swift, swift and find some artillery and have 100 guns fired'in honor of the firmness of the venerable President in ordering Anderson to ocenpy Snmter. Have the guns fired, and then rain dispatches on the President commending him as a second Jackson." The counsel given, Siokles, withont leav ing the train, hastened to New York, where he had Kynders with his guns to salvo the heavensln honor of the firm Buchanan. Dougherty, as he told me the story, rushed still breakfastless to find the guns and the powder. Then to stop friends on the high way and implore them to at once telegraph Buchanan. And by nightfall there had fallen upon the limn, bewildered President a snower oi compliments ior nis nrmness, such adulations of the second Jackson, that he went to bed that night the stannchest and happiest patriot in the land. Ander son was not ordered back to Sumter. The masterful Slldell was foiled. "And thus it was," said Dougherty, with his joyous laugh, "that Sickles and I saved the Union." I thought ot it all, as I saw the worn and wounded soldier, his face broken with sorrow, limping on his crutches by the bier of his friend his friend who loved him well.

Coming, as Dougherty did a Democrat the rising hope of the young Democracy of Pennsylvania, his ac cession to the Union League was not that ol a person but a force. It was a force eagerly welcomed by the fathers of the league, because they saw behind it that Democratic sentiment which was so desira ble toward a successful prosecution of the war. Dougherty had many friendships, upon which, if space permitted, it would be pleasant to dwell. There were two notably which influenced his life those of John W. Forney and Edwin Forrest "I love Forney," he used to say. "He was my earliest friend. He gave me my first glass of champagne." Forney was some years, ten I think, senior to Dough erty. "When the young orator was edging to the front Forney, with his remarkable sagacity in reading men, discovered him. Forney had the princely gift of recognitien and, more than that, appreciation. Who like him eould speak the cheering word, illumine the young hope, or give fire to the new ambition? He saw in Dougherty noble gifts, and out of his own ample ex perience and intellectual resources guided them. If Forney was Dougherty's first friend, I take it he was his first master. They had much in com mon. They had been under the yoke of what Bulwer calls the twin jailers of the daring heart, humble birth and iron fortune. They were self-made, self-taught, alike in their pride, their aspirations, their un paus ing devotion to a cause. Forney know the world better than Dougherty. While the younger man was mooning his forehead among the stars, and dreaming over Phocion and Cato, the elder was studying the causes of the latest defection in Berks and the reasons for believing in a larger vote in Lancaster. Forney realized that, not having made the world, he must take human nature as he found it and follow the ancient land marks. It would take an eternity to amend them, and his work must of need be for the time beipg. Dougherty's Political Philosophy, Dougherty was a pessimist His pessim ism was that of the idealist striving lor an Ideal ever Unattainable. A youth of lofty thoughts, of rapt and vivid imagination, his head was among the stars. The Romans yes, the Romans! And the Greeks! There were your men. The heroes made empire, and lawgivers evolved the oracles of eternal justice, and poets sang, and philosophers walked in the groves of the academy. And our own gres,t men, our Senators ot the ear lier davs, when Webster moved the heart with his awe-compelling sentences and Clay charmed with his eloquence, and Calnoun convinced with his logic. To be ot them, that was not possible. But to take' tho torch and keep it aflame, and walking in their path emulate and Improve their example. - What a dream for the daring voting man!

SQUAREST DEALING toward politics as an Ideal, was doomed, when he came in touch with it, to a rude awakening. What, after all, as he learned in bitterness and dismay, were these con temporaneous gods but idols with feet of clay? What was political action but chi canery? Who conld conquer but by stoop ing in filth and slime? The shock came rudely upon an imagination which had dreamed of silvern harmonious ways in a public career, who had seen himself with a party crowding to honor him for his elo quence, a people coming with crowns for his civio virtues. How often in bitterness, and with Junius like invective, have I heard Dougherty rail at the realities of public life, what men call "practical politics," the use of money and patronage. There was no way to pace but by walking in the shadow of the peniten tiary. There was no use for genins or char acter. A political career it was the nncn ingofaDerby winner to an offal cart I Politics 9nrw9ifnl utilities what was it but the deadening of moral sentiment, the emasculation of manly virtue? Place meant money. And as he could not bend, as he never bowed his head but to the cross, Dougherty kept his way his face to the stars, while the eager world swept by him. His Removal to New Tork. Dougherty went to New York late in life. He had an unusual success. His repute had gone before him. He became a center of social and political honors. Tammany Hall sent him to St Louis to nominate Cleveland. At the outset of his New York careei, whenever I saw Dougherty, he was aglow over his hearty political recognition. His gratification was ingenuous and sincere, and I remember having my own thoughts about it as to how long it would last, and in what manner the most impossible of politicians could become possible to Tammanj ; and whether the spirit that would not brook the whips of Democratic management in Phila delphia would accept the scorpions of New York. The Cleveland nomination incident lasted a season and made the skies rosy. But it could not endue. The eyes of Dougherty slowly opened to Tammany Hall. The political chicanery which had been the work ot amateurs in Philadelphia was here the work of masters. He lound practical politics reduced to a science. In my last conversation with him, summing up his New York experiences, he dwelt with scorn upon what he had learned of Democracy, and said that he was making ready lor whit he meaut to be the work of his life a war to the death against Tam many Halt In New York, even in a greater degree than in Philadelphia, as my readers will see, again the ideal had struck the real again there had been the rude awakening, and he saw the degradation involved in the inner management ot political affairs. Dougherty was an absolutely honest man and although with his imagination and his world of high fancies he might for a period go mooning in be land of dreams, when the truth came amUhe saw it, there was anger as of the gods. . .': THIS PARLOR SUIT MAKE YOUR OWN TERMS.

COMP 414 THE UNIVERSE. se!8-47 The Grant incident caused Mr. Dough erty the alienation of valued friendships. I was abroad at the time, but on returning found many friends angry with Dougherty for some speech denouncing Grant That he was to be a king or something, and, furthermore, that I was in tome tense in the plot to overthrow the country, in that by some writings I had developed and mads possible the tfiird term. I did not think much of the comment, never having read the speech. I remembered that it was poll tics, and, like Iago, having myself in tho trade of war slain men, was disposed to be a lenient critic even when I was the object of criticism. When I saw Dougherty I was disposed to deal with the speech as the for gotten effervescence of political champagne, and that we would both smile over the exu berance which for the moment bad carried him away. But no"! Dougherty was in one of his pessimistic moods. Again he had fears for the future of the Republic. Hi had studied Grant He knew him. Ha admired him. But even so he might have admired Csesar and Napoleon. Nothing was plainer than this conspiracy against the Republic . Dougherty governed his life with rigid if not austere laws. He had mapped out a high plane of moral action, and from that he never swerved. Dougherty disliked extemporaneous speaking, although he was at his best when he spoke from his heart, instant, full and free. He was conscientious over his art Demosthenes had declaimed to the waves with the pebbles in bis mouth, Dickens had rehearsed his Copperfield reading 200 times, and what he did he would do well I pre sume he wrote his little speech nominating Cleveland 20 times. It would not make 100 lines, and when he came one morning to read it to me he would only have the se verest criticism. There was nothing to criticise, but the conscientious man went on refining and refining, until, when it was delivered before a hnsbed convention, it was as perfect in expression and condensa tion as an ode of Horace.
