An Alligator sunstrucis.

One of the two alligators at Benton Park
was sunstruck yesterday, the first case OF the kind
on record, but 1t was officially reported by the
park commissioner 1t will not be denied. The al
ligator turned over on his back and popped out his
eyes and showed other unmistakable symptoms Of
sunstroke. The park keeper says 1t was clear
case. He had read Of the way sunstrokc patients
are treated at the city dspensary, but he had
neither fee nor ice water with him, and as 1t was n
bad case, one that required immediate treatment,
he pulled out his brandy bottle and gave Mr.. AL
ligator big dram. The effect was wonderful. The
patient Topped over on his belly again and swan
of, seemingly as happy as big, hungry catfish
among n lot of little mnnows. This is one Of the
pet allgators recently donated to the city by DEM
ocratic Gus, the saloon keeper OH Seventh and

Tho prnsidcnt,s Cnsc.

While the condition of the Presidents
certainly one of great uncertainty, the at
tending surgeons have all along expressed
the hope, and some ofthem the firm con-
viction, that he would recover These
gentlemen are continually with the dis
tinguishcd patient; they have an oppor-
tunity Of noting gradual and minute
signs of encouragement of which we of
the outside world cannot be cognizant.
The professional skill of these gentlemen
cannot be questioned, and when that
is conceded it must then be admitted
that they are competent to form an
opinion rs to the progress of the case
under their charge Continuing the
reasoning, it should be believed that
when these attending surgeons say that
their patient is better they have what
they believe to be Just ground for so say
lug and that they mean what
they say. To reach any other
conclusion would be an imputation upon
their ability or their veracity. The only
criticism that The REPUBLICAN has made
upon the surgeons or their statements was
in the editorial mention of the disCrep-
anCy between the assertion ofo of them
on Sunday night and the fact of the opera
ton on Monday. There was no unkind
feeling in that criticism, and should SINH
lar uttcrances be again made and similar
facts follow probably like reference
would be made to them. But we do not
believe that il ia the duty Of any news
q, t, ,,,llnri tauIi
mony and then jump at the conclusion
that the President has not been properly
treated, and is therefore going to die.
Certain journals have set upalittle medi-
cal bureau of their own, and have al
lowed disappointed members of the pro-
fession toairtheir grievances, theirknowl-
| edge and their ignorance, their beliefs
and their hopes, until the average man
who reads their columns and none other
must surely believe that there is no hope
for the President. There is hope, be-
cause the surgeons who have charge ofthe
case, and who are therefore most inti-
mately acquainted with all the symptoms,
say SO, and their word should certainly
outweigh the deductions of the pro-
fessionals or laity who have no connec-
ton with the case and who are compelled
to simply take the bulletins and torture
their inferences from them. There
is but one wish in regard to the
President, viz, that he shall recover.
That such may be the case is the earnest
and sincere prayer of every citizen in
every section of the country. And while
this wish and this prayer is so universal,
let us hope in the accomplishment of the
wish and the fulillment of the prayer
until the surgeons themselves shall say
that there is no hope, rs itwould be their
duty to do if such was the fact.

Mothers. Look 10 ItI

The case of Jennie Cramer, at New
Haven is sensational because up to the time of
the present writing II is not known whether she
died from an excessive dose ofchloroform admins
tered by knaye OF whether she committed suicide
In remorse aflcr q frst debauch. Whatever the
tardy investigation may develop one thing social
Is herein demonstrated. Jennie was very beau
tifil. and the people with whom she, ms the
daughter Of cigur-maker in moderate circum-
stances naturally associated were proud Of her.
she was somewhat vain, and arsenic assisted her
complexion People who had more money than
her father had fattered her because she was beau
tiful. She had that freedom which girls Of the
middle class IN America too frequently have, and
her parents permitted her to be abroad at night.
Their idea, though they were Germans Is the idea
which prevails too extensively in this country
that girl can take care Of herself A girl cannot
always take care Of herself and where she is left
to that idea she will become contaminated,

PERIL STATISTICS,
Loss OF Fife ON the Merchant steam YES
sells During the Past Year.

It has been asCertained at the office of
Supervising Inspector General Of steam Vessels
Dumont that during the fiscal year Of lssOSl there
were 26S lives lost Of passengers and crews upon
merchant steam vessels of the United States from
explosions, fires collisions, snags and shpwrecls,
accidental drowning, and miscellaneous causes.
Among those lost by shipwreck arc included the
victims Of the disasters Of the City of Vera Cruz
and the City Of Alpena-12S persons. Both ofthese
steamers are sald to have been staunch and strong
and fully supplied with the life-savng appliances
required by law. The gales in which they were
lost are said to have been the heaviest ever known
IN the different localities where they occurred,
and General Dumont expresses the opinion that
no human foresight could have prevented their
loss But 10 persons were saved from the City OF
Vera Cruz, they having been washed ashore on
pieces Of wrcckage, and upon the City of Apena
all were lost Compared with the previous year
there has been an increase in the number ofllvcs
lost of G3 persons. This covers an increase Of i36
lost BY wrecks, 81 by explosions, and by acci-
dental drowning, making a total increase of 1862.
There has been decrease, however, of II lives
lost by fire. 30 by collision and by other causes.
Many OF the cases reported MS accidental drown
Ing are thought to have been suicides During
the year lie estimated that there have been up
ward of quarter ofa million passengers carried.
