George Stewart, Of Kirkwood, dropped
dead yesterday morning while dressing
herself Just after rising from her bed.
Some few months since Mrs. Stewart

supposed was asthma, but medical
observation discovered her troubles to
be dropsy Of the heart and chest, de,
pendent on disturbed heart action,
which Yielded readily 10 appropriate
remedies. Her health since has been
quite tolerable, and with the exception
of periods of lightness Of head and some
hillary disarrangements, she enjoyed
herself quite happily. This morning
she rose from her bed, commenced
dressing herself, and in a moment ex'
claimed to her little boy, II am dying,
Willie and sank to sleep to wake no
more till the resurrection morn. Yes
terday she was unusually cheerful and
active.

Tho City Ordinance and the Discharge OF
. Fireworks-Appeal to Superintendent Jour
dan.
Some few years ago the city Of Portland, Maine
was nearly destroyed by fire. the result Of nre-
cracker discharged into carpenters shop. As we
near the Fourth Of July the customary discharge OF
small sGrearms, -lrecrackers and other nujsances
generally denominated fireworks admonish us that
unless some measures Of protection be timely
adopted we may be some day visited by as destruc.
tive fire. from similar causes, as the
good city OF Portland. IAN ounce OF preven-
ton is worth pound OF cure" We therefore call the
artentlonof our worthy superintendent OF Police,
Mr.. Jourdan, to ths nuisance. The Corporation Or
dinances prohibit the firing of any pistol gun, fowl.
ing piece or cannon, within the city, under heavy
penalties, These ordinances further provide, "No
person shall fire, discharge or set or In the city Of
Sew Y Sr any other ssck to qg1
taining any substance IN state Of combustion -
DC, and heavy penalties are imposed for violation
theieo 1t s part OF the duties Of the police to
that these ordinances are respected and we call
upon them to strictly enforce them by tre arrest Of
all vioators. We do not seek TO interfere with the
rational amusements Of "YOung America" but Ger
tainly we have right to demand that the amnse-
ments indulged In be- at least, such that damage
result therefrom TO the community at large.
The chapter Of accidents occurring each year be-
tween the goth OF June and and 10th OF July from the
improper and careless OF firearms, or so-called
"ireworks," especially firecrackers, have been such
that becomes the imperative duty OF the Supern.
tendent Of Police to issue such public instructions
for the enforcement OF the ordinance shall deter the
reckless and mischievously inclined Of the YOUTH
and Of all others, from ndugfng In this dangerous
Ous, and the sooner superintendent J0urdan acts In
the premises the better.
