A PARIS paper gives some particulars
of the ravages of cholera in Japan.
The epidemic appeared last April in the
district of Ehime, where the tombs of
soldiers who fell victims to it in 1877
had been opened, partly for religious
rites and patty for the more becoming
interment of men hastily buried during
the war. In a week forty-fve out of
sixty-fve cases proved fatal. 1t ex-
tended to other points, and at Oska it is
not uncommon to see persons fall down
in the streets, struck by it. In July it
was reported at Toxic, the capital, and
also at Yokohama, and in some western
towns the epidemic has assumed formid-
able proportions. Up to Aug. II the
total number of cases of cholera
throughout Japan was 1888, of which
4l,915 had proved fatal, 9,789 had re-
covered, and the remainder were still
under treatment. Up to the end of
September the number had reached
100000. The Government has exerted
itself to the utmost by establishing
hospitals, forbidding the sale of unripe
fruit-which the japanese are accus-
toned to eat-and quarantine regula-
tons. These last were disregarded by
foreign vessels, and the result is that
cholera has extended everywhere, &c
that there are no longer guarantees OF
lazarettos, for no purpose would be
served by them.

AS AN express train on the Baltimore

TnE spread Of diphtheria and scarlet
fever in New York city is so marked rs to
call forspecial action OF the health authori.
ties for its arrest. Eighty.tlve new cases
of scarlet fever were reported in the last
three days Of December, and there were
1902 cases during the year. The increase
at this season is accounted for by the fact
that contagion is intensified by closed win.
dows and doors. Persons are more closely
associated with each other indoors during
the cold weather, and disease has better
opportunity for spreading. Among the
efforts made to prevent the spread Of con.
tagious diseases is one to stop the trans.
portation ofbundles OF soiled linen in the
street ears infected with disease from the
bodies OF unreported cases, and which are
thrust before unsuspectIng passengers.
The Board of Education has also been
furnished with daily-list Of persons sick
with contagious diseases, and asked not to
allow the children OF such families TO ut
tend any school while there was danger Of
the disease spreading.

THR BeIlaire Phonogrdph has merged
with the Independent It's last number up,
pcarcd on Saturday, This, we presume,
was rendered necessary by the fact, that
in view Of Col. Poorman's new paper
journalism in Bellaire was getting to thick
to thrive. Bellaire should be able to SUP.
port one good paper satisfactorily, but
there hardly appears room for more in
these days Of low prices and short profits.
There is but one paper at GAINESVILLE, but
it is one that meets the wants Of the people
of that region in very comprehensive
and satisfactory manner, Washington,
Pa, supports one small daily paper, pub.
lished at six cents per week, and Bellaire
might do the samO. The latter place
claims 5000 people while Washington only
claims 1000 \ trim and tart" little
daily at Bellaire might BE- made to pay in
connection with a weekly Mr.. viii. &.
Faris, who published the Photograph is
quite an accomplished writer, and gentle
man Of cultivated literary taste, but his
fort did not seem to be tho running OF a
paper in which it was all important that
local and business matters should be fully
and frequently discussed.
In this connection we may refer to the
fact that Col. c. l.. Poorman has com.
mencedto canvass Bellaire and Belmont
county with a view to the publication at
Bellairc OF a-newspaper to be called the
Bellaire Tribune. He will not attempt to
establish the journal unless he can obtain
seven hundred subscribers in advance. 1t
will be four page, thirty.two column
sheet, Republican in politics, but devoted
chiefly to tho interests OF Bellaire and Bel.
mont county. The Colonel was for num-
Der OF years editor OF the Chronicle, at St.
CIairsville, and has many advantages for
the project.

As IN every other State, so Massachu-
sets finds the care Of the insane to be n
constantly increasing burden. The State
has four Insane Asylums already which
are full to Overlooking, there being 800
more insane persons taken to the institu.
tons during the past year. The cost OF
taking care Of the insane in Massachusetts,
is nearly 100000 year. The cost OF the
asylum buildings has been about 81 $780, 900
apiece, and still larger buildings will have
to be erected TO meet the demand. In all
