VIEWS OF THE MEXICAN MINISTER.

WASHINGTON, Aug 1S.-Senor Zanicona, the
Mexican minister, having been asked whethtr
he anticipated war with the United States re-
piled: ''By no means. President Diaz is very
anxious to procure friendly relations with the
United States and is doing everything in his
power to put down lawlessness on the border,
but the Mexicrn government is like this
country, it cannot at all times keep order in
outlying and sparsely inhabited States"

MEMPHIS, Aug. lS.-To-day, the first Sab
bath since the stampede which reduced the pop
ulation Of our city at least one-half, was quiet
and gloomy one, notwithstanding a clear sky
and warm sun. Visitors to the infected dis
trict report the outlook more encouraging, there
being only nine new cases reported for the
twenty-four hours ending at P. NJ, although
there is slight increase in the death-rate.
The deaths for the same time number thirteen
The decrease in the number of new cases is
doubtless owing to the fact that there is little
fever to work on. All who were able have
moved out, and it is expected the work Of

A SENSATIONAL FEMALE.


DAYTON, o., Sept. 15.-Matilda STAN
ley, known as the Gypsy queen, and re-
cognized as such by all the tribes through
out the United States, was buried at
Woodland cemetery to-day The queen
was woman of great influence among
her race. She died in Vicksburg last
winter, and the body was embalmed and
preserved until tue present time for
burial. The cemetery was filled with
people, the cemetery attracting visitors
from the surrounding country. 1t is es-
timated that over $4,000 people Were in
attendance. Representatives of promi-
nent Gypsy families from all parts of the
United States and Canada have been as
sembling in this city for the occasion,
and the funeral procession was mile in
length. The ceremony was conducted by
minister of the United Brethren
Church, and did not differ from that of
Christian funerals. At the close an
affecting scene occurred, the children of
the Queen throwing themselves on the
grave and filling the air with lamenta
tons. Dayton has been for sometime
the headquarters of the Gypsies in this
country, and the king, husband of the
queen, lives near this city and owns a
large tract Of ground.

to be poisoned by the escape of feculent
matter from closets.
Did space allow, hundreds Of clearly
defined cases could be deduced to show
that yellow fever, typhoid fever and
cholera are neither of them climatic, cpl
demic or hardly endemic diseases, but
entirely dependent on the filthy condi-
tons and habits which invite them.
Camp fever and ship fever are dependent
on similar causes, and all are most surely
avoidable in the natural climate of any
country. l am also certain that with
good sanitary conditions in both, the eli
mate in the lower ATTITUDES is healthier
than in the higher ATTITUDES. A daily
maximum heat of seventy to eighty five
degrees is much healthier than the ex-
tremes from zero to ninety-fve degrees.
To keep densely populated countries in
a good sanitary condition, the dead
should be cremated, cities should be
thoroughly severed and daily cleansed by
an abundance of water.
All feculent matter in villages and
rural districts should be duly utilized for
fertilizing purposes by eopious mixture
of fine, dry earth, muck or charcoal. OF
course the stagnant water in swamps
must be removed by bitches to prevent
malarial diseases.
The earth can absorb and digest large
quantities of feculent matter, but when
gorged she vomits forth disease and death
to all in the vicinity.

A Plunge from a Cataract.

A YOUNG LADY FALLS HEADLONG A DIS

FEET.
A terrible accident occurred near
Bushkill, popular watering place on
the PENNSYLVANIA bank of the Delaware
river, Saturday. Mr.. George Compton,
proprietor of the summer boarding house
near the Delaware water gap, accompa-
MED by his wife, daughter and several
guests, started to visit cataract in the
vicinity. Reaching Bushkill, the party
set out on foot for a tour of inspection.
Having visited all the smaller places of
interest, the Bushkill falls were sought
Arriving at the cataract, the party sep
arated some going further up the stream.
Mr.. Compton, wife and daughter-the
latter a beautiful and accomplished
young lady-and one other gentleman
stopped near the head of the falls to
rest. While resting, Miss Compton
carelessly proceeded to the edge of the
rocks, and peered down into the seeth-
| ing waters 120 feet below. As she
| leaned over her she lost her balance, and
uttering piercing scream for help, she
plunged headlong into the rocky abyss.
Her mother, almost wild with grief,
wrung her hands and was only prevented
from jumping into the catract after her
daughter by the terrified father and the
gentleman who accompanied them.
While the latter held the agonized moth
er Mr.. Compton FASTENED to the foot of
the falls, to find his unfortunate child
feebly combating with the rough pillows
and struggling to reach the shore.
Without moments hesitation he Jump
ed into the stream, and after a desper-
ate struggle succeeded in rescuing her.
a physician was Immediately summoned,
Eho pronounced her injuries of fatal
nature. The girl was by this time un-
conscious, and her body was bruised and
mangled from head to foot. She was
taken to her home, and at last accounts
was slowly sinking, with no possible
chance of recovery,
