CHOLERA UNDER CONTROL.
The lUsoasfl Is About Stamped Out In
Now York Harbor.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.— The official bulletin
of the New York board of health says that
no case of cholera has yet appeared in this
city, and the official report of Dr. Jenkins
from tho quarantine stations says that no
new cases have been developed on the de
tained vessels and no deaths havo occurred.
So the situation may be said to be decidedly
encouraging.
Another cause of satisfaction is the fact
that at last the ill starred cabin passengers
of tho steamship Normannia are on dry
land. Their eventual/rausfer to Fire island
ends a series of misft* tunes and vicissitudes
that is without parallel in tho history of
American tourists returning from summer
visits to Europe. They would probably
still be confined on a frail pleasure steamer,
at the mercy of a raginu storm, if a general
term of the supreme coffrt in Brooklyn had
not dissolved tho injunction forbidding
them to land) and the action of the gov
ernor in sending troops to tho island had
not scattered like chaff the inhuman mob.
As it was, for just throe days, not only
men, but frail women and delicate children,
and many infirm persons, almost in the
shadow of Liberty's statue—people who I
have unlimited financial means at command I
—have been in worse straits than the most
abject pauper in this great land. Indeed,
though coucededly free from cholera infec
tion, these well to do and influential Amer
ican citizens found themselves iu a condi
tion to which that of the pest suspects in
the steerage—save for tho fear that they
might become plague stricken—was pref
erable.
Senator McPherson, of New Jersey, en
veloped in a heavy winter coat,was the first
to jump ou land from the tug from the
Cepheus. He looked iu delicate health, but
said he felt pretty well, considering the
strong pressure ho had undergone. R. H.
Thompson was tho next to jump ashore,
and then came A. M. Palmer, the well
known theatrical manager. They were the
committee of the passengers who did so
much to get relief from the detention.
They were marched up the gang plank to
the hotel, where they registered as follows:
J. R. McPherson, in quarantine; A. M.
Palmer, in exile; R. 11. Thompson, at
home.
All of these men said the experiences of
the passengers on the Cepheus were fright
ful aud inconceivable to human mind.
Children, women and the infirm suffered
terribly for want of comfort and neces
saries of lifo. Three women were very ill
from approaching maternity and one child
was born on the Cepheus.
The passengers from the Cepheus were
then landed. They were a happy and de
lighted lot. The chambermaids and French
waiters of the Surf hotel had American
flags and waved them most vigorously
while their prospective guests disembarked.
The cheering was lusty and almost inces
sant, three cheers being proposed for Gov
ernor Flower and heartily responded to,
the band joining in the demonstrations of
delight by playing most vigorously.
Hamburg Worse Again.
HAMBURG, Sept. 14.— Tho increasing heat
has lengthened the lists of sick and dying
and has depressed again the reviving spir
its of the people. The number of fresh
cases has been 710, an increase of twenty
three, and the number of deaths 227, an in- i
crease of nineteen. In the cholera hospitals !
and barracks there are 3,128 patients, an in
crease of thirty-seven. Three-fourths of tho
patients are women and children from tho
poorest families, who have been woakeued
by lack of all proper nourishment. Tlieso
people are so exhausted that thoy succumb
to the plague easily.
No Cholera in Pennsylvania.
PITTSBURG, Sept. 13.—A United Press
representative visited Jeannette, where it
was reported that a well defined case of j
I Asiatic cholera had developed and claimed
its victim. Tho reporter found much ex
citement in the foreigners' quarter of tho
town and much indignation ainoug the citi
zens in generul, but no cholera.
MRS. HARRISON'S CONDITION.
It Is So Serious That Two Specialists
Have Been Summoned to Loon Lake.
LOON LAKE, N. Y., Sept. 14.—Mrs. Har
rison's conditiou is of such a serious char
acter that additional medical aid has been
summoned, aud a diagnosis of her case will
be made as soon as possible in order that
the attending physicians may be fully pre- I
pared for emergencies. Dr. Gardner, tho I
family physician of tho president, who has
been in constaut attendance ou the mistress
of tho White House since the inception of
her Illness, decided to call to bis aid Dr.
Dougherty, an eminent specialist of New
York city. Dr. Trudeau, who is noted in
the Adirondack regions us a specialist in
pulmonary diseases, will also arrive here ]
from Baranac Lake, and he, with Dra.
Dougherty and Gardner, will hold a consul
tation at which they will discuss Mrs. Har
| rison's condition thoroughly, and inform the
1 president and his family of what is their
belief as to the true state of her health.

side of his wife. The president's party now
consists of Mrs. McKee, Mrs. Diminick,
Private Secretary Halford and Lieutenant
and Mrs. Parker.

LIVING ON AIR.
The Remarkable Survival of Three En
tombed Miner* In Hohumiu.
The teaching of experience as illus
trated by several instances of prolonged j
abstinence, though it may ufford somo J
idea of human endurance in this partic- (
ular under special conditions, has yet
provided no certain criterion of the vi j
tal resistance possessed by the average .
man when suddenly deprived of every
form of sustenance. The measure of :
this force may nevertheless be gauged (
with approximate correctness from the
history of recurrent instances of pro
longed and accidental privation. As an
example, the following is remarkable j
even in this category:
It is the narrative of three Bohomian
miners, who, after being entombed by a
fall of sand in the pit where they were
working, were finally rescued alive, i
though of course in an utterly prostrate I
condition, seventeen days later. During J
the period of their live burial air was j
pumped down to them by bore holes.
On this they may lie said to have lived,
without food and without water. The !
total want of the latter is what makes
their survival so remarkable. But for
this essential the longer fasts of profes
sional fasting men would have been
quite impossible.
Wo can have no difficulty in under- j
standing generally why this holds true
if we bear in mind the fact that not i
only does water constitute by fcir the
greater constituent of every tissue, but
that without its due proportion the cir- (
culation and nutrition of the blood and
that needful if costly chemical change (
upon which all tissue repair depends
would be alike impossible.
In endeavoring to trace the rationale i
of a life persisting, as in the case of the
buried miners, in spite of the absence of I
every natural condition, we must notice j
one or two significant points. In tho j
first place, their condition was that of :
rest, their functional metabolism being
proportionally less active, their waste of
tissue diminished and their output of I
carbonic acid not so likely to overcharge
the surrounding atmosphere. Further, ;
wo may take it for granted that a robust
physique had no small share in the con- I
nervation of vital energy.
Much depends in such cases on the !
amount of nitrogenous matter stored up,
for the most part in the muscular tissue,
and available for destructive changes.
We may safely assume that the amount
of reserve nitrogen in the case of these
men was not meager. It is mainly, no !
doubt, to this circumstance that we
must attribute not only the fact of their
existence, but the still more remarkable |
prospect of their convalescence and ulti- j
mate recovery.—London Lancet.
An Interesting Question.
A very interesting question is before
congress and the American Bar associa
tion arising out of the unfortunate mas
sacre of the Italians in New Orleans.
The relations between this country and
Italy were strained nearly to the point
of war. Diplomatic intercourse was not
discontinued, but Baron Fava, the Ital
ian minister, was recalled.
The issue in the controversy arose I
from tho conduct of the mob that broke
into the New Orleans jail and killed the
Italians who had been arrested for tho
murder of the chief of police. For
everything done by the people of the
city, and for everything done or left
undone by the government and courts
of the state of Louisiana, tho federal (
government was responsible to Italy.
The men engaged in the outrage wore
acquitted, and this government recog
nized its moral responsibility at least
by paying a small sum of money to sur
viving sufferers.
The question lief ore congress and the
Bar association's international law com
mittee Is clear. What remedy is there
for a condition of law, international and
domestic, under which the United States
is responsible to a foreign government, i
even to the j>oint of war, for the acts of i
the people and courts of a single state? |
It is an interesting and important ques
tion and one in which the whole coun
try is concerned.—Harper's Weekly. ,
The Shooting of Broderick.
BUFFALO, Sept. 18. —The jury investigat
j ing the killing of Broderick during the
strike by the soldiers returned the follow
ing verdict: "That Michael Broderick came
to his death by two gunshot wounds in the
abdomen, inflicted by somo soldier or sol
diers of the Twenty-second regiment, Na
tional guard, of New York city, said sol- j
dior or soldiers being unknown to this jury,
aud this jury further finds that the shoot
ing of tho said Michael Broderick was un
justifiable, and we further recommend that
all honorable means be employed to bring
the guilty persou or persons to justice."

PITTSHURO, Sept. 18.—At the meeting of

WHY HE LIKES DUDES
HOW A PUNY TENDERFOOT ASTON
ISHED A ROUGH WESTERNER.
Rrrau.a Ho Ha.l White Hands and Van
Clean Collara Ho Wart Itnhbod "Muali
and MalaHHait"—He Showed What He
Was Made of by Saving a Ranger's I.tfe.
We had stopped at a railroad station
on the Pecos river, and many of the
passengers were walking up and down
the long platform. Among them was a
dudish young man who excited con
siderable ridicule from the dozen rough
fellows hanging about. One of them
finally said something about "chawing
him up," when an old man in the gang
raised his hand and said:
"That's 'nough, boys; don't go any
further."
"What's it to you?" demanded the
other.
"A heap, I reckon! It's so much tome
that I'll do a leetle shootin on that fel
low's account if needs be."
The two men looked menacingly at
each other, and for twenty seconds I ex
pected to see them draw and fire. Then
the younger one walked away, growling
as he went, leaving the field to the old
man.
"Would you have fought for the dnde?"
I asked when the strain had lieen re
lieved.
"Sartinl" ho grimly answered.
"But you don't know him."
"No, and probably nevor shall, but
he sort o' reminds me of a leetle snr
cumstance that happened seven or eight
years ago. I had a ranch up on the
Pecos plains, and a dude came out from
New York city to visit a naybur o'
mine. Ho was jest sicli a beanstalk as
this chap. He had soft hands, a woman's
way of talkin, and I looked him over
and made up my mind that a Texas
baby three years old could give him
pointers. Why, durn it, if he didn't
wear white shirts and collars and play
the pianncr! I tried to bo civil to him,
'cause ho was a stranger, but it 'bout
made me sick. I never looked at him
without thinkin o' mush and 'lasses."
"Well?"
"Waal, arter he'd bin out thar 'bout
threo months, Jim and me went out one
day to look up some stray mustangs. The
fust thing we know we got a volley from
a lot of Injuns who had broke loose from
the reservation. Jim was hit in the
shoulder, but fortunately carried off by
his hoss, who was a flier. I hoaded for
a sink I knowed of and reached it with
out a scratch. Then, you see, my caper
was to stand 'em off till Jim could send
help. I had a Winchester and plenty of
cartridges, and durin the fust hour I
wounded one cuss and killed another.
Then I got a chunk o' lead through this
right arm and begun to feel a bit
narvous as to how it would turn out. I
swiped a bullet into another, and in re
turn I got this rake along the skull. It
wasn't ten minutes arter that befo' I be
gun to feel powerful sick and weak, and
I jest reckoned that my scalp wus goin
to make an ornament on some red crit
ter's belt."
"But you still stood them off?"
"As well as able, but the end would
liev come in about fifteen minutes more.
The last three or four shots I fired I was
so blind I couldn't see a rod. The reds
was shoutin to each other and makin
ready to close in when I heard a white
man yellin. I couldn't see what took
place, but I know how it was jest the
Bame. That mush and 'lasses dude was
out on a hoss huntin jackass rabbits,
and Jim run across him and told him
how I was fixed and axed him to ride
fur help. What do ye think the durned
cuss did?"
"Bode for home?"
"Not much! He rode fur met He'd
never seen a war Injun in his life, and
Jim told him thar was a full dozen ar
ter me, but it made no difference. He
comes Up on a dead run, yellin and
shootin, and I'll chaw my hat if ho didn't
lay out two of the critters and kill a
pony afore they could git away. lie
sailed right in so mighty hard that they
thought he had a big crowd behind him.
That tliar leetle dude with soft hands
and puny arms lifted mo onto his hoss
and rode to my ranch and then heads a
crowd hack and runs them reds 'leven
miles and kills another.
"Why, durn me! he got two ponies
out of that scrap, and he gathered up
more wampum, bows, arrers, toma
hawks, kuivos and sich than any six of
us had collected in five years. When I
got about I helped him to box and ship
'em to somo club in New York. 'Pears
to mo it was suuithin liko the Mauhattan
club. Leastwise, it had a 'tarnal longieli
name, and the feller was a member."
"And you came to like him?"
"Say! He kin hev all I've got in this
world any time he axes for it. I made
a big mistake Bizin him up. He could
beat any of us with the pistol, and the
feller who took hold of him for a rasslc
was throwed sky high before he could
bito his terbacker. He could run like a
doer, ontjump a kangaroo and we
I couldn't find a broncho who could buck
him off."
"And that's why you interfered, is it?"
I "Exactly. Show me a dude and I'll
back him. These boys hain't learned
the difference between a dude and a
fule yit, but I hev and I don't want no
better chaps behind ine in a pinch than
dudes, 'specially New York dudes."—

To Tako Of Old Paint.
It is very seldom now that you seo a
painter burn off old paint with a spirit
lamp or torch, though there are still a
few who stick to the old method. The
easiest way to clean paint off wood, or
evon metal, is to mix lime and salsoda
pretty thickly if water and then apply
1 freely with a brush. After a short time
tho paint can be scraped off without diffi
j culty. Any amateur can use this recipe;
j only a little care is advisable, as the
1 mixture will remove skin from the
1 hands or face even more rapidly thau it
j will romove paint from wood or metal.
