com panied her, signed their names, George
Smith and Henry Frank. A check on Che
sub-treasury for @l,785 was drawn and

sub-treasury this morning and drew the
money. Soon afterward the woman re-
ported to the police that she had not been
given fair proportion of the money. Size

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 25.-Hon. George w.
Julian was asked to-day what truth lay in
the report that he was to strike the key
note for the Tilden boom in this city at an
early day, and he professed that the only
information thereon came from the press.
He believed, he said. that there was some
thing in the air indicating a movement
favoring his nomination for president.
Personally, he would favor Tilden's
nomination if he was not
too old and feeble, for the
reason that he is the ablest leader in the
Democratic party. Mr.. Julian spoke OF
Mcdonald in the same connection as very
strong man, particularly outside of In
diana. This remark was repeated to one
of the state officers, and he burst into the
following peroration without a moments
hesitation: what a grand old man Geo.
W. Julian is. He is the most intellectual
and purest man in America, and if it could
be possible to nominate him for the presi-
dency l would rather vote for him than any
man living"

watch the tender affections of the female
sex expended upon the pet poodles, Of
no earthly value either as objects of in

How to Carry Concealed Weapons

A certain young man who was fined
in Cobb Superior Court the sum of forty
dollars for carrying a pistol concealed
some time thereafter had occasion to de-
liver a pistol toa party in town, and, to
be on the safe side, he got a ten-foot pole
and tied the pistol to the end Of the
same. He then hoisted the pole to
which dangled the pistol and started
across town. To his utter surprise he
met Judge James r. Brown, who was
considerably tickled at the p~recaution
act OF the young mar to expose fully to
view the pistol, and he remarked:
s'That is very commendable in you. l
thought that forty dollars fine would
make you a good, la%w-abiding citizen"
The young man expressed the opinion
that the mode adopted in carrying the
pistol was notquite as handy, but it was
less costly.-Mar5etta &c., Journal.

Asiatic Cholera.

Asiatic cholera is a disease. as old as
Hippocrates and Galen, for they de-
scribe it in detail, although each has his
own name for it. For Il century and
a quarter. it's movement has been at
tributed to the dense masses of popu-
lation gathered together every twelfth
year at the great Hindoo festivals.
From the shrines in the interior, to
which pill grimages are made, the dis
ease has been carried to the coast at
Bombay or Calcutta, and thence by
ship to Ceylon, Mauritius and China,
sian Gulf, the Caspian and the Medi-
%terranean, and even across Central
Asia into European Russia. The most
terrible visitations Of this plague
which have occurred since 1856 have
followed this periodical law. The
disease broke out in India in 1917, and
ran it's course in four years. In 1929
cholera reached Orenburg, spread to
Poland and Eastern Europe, and Was
carried by emigrant ships to America
in 1882. In 164l there was a fresh
outbreak in Bengal, the effects Of which
were traced year after year in one
country after another until the
pestilence again spent it's force in
America. In 1865 the infection was
communicated more rapidly, steam
ships carrying it to Marseilles and
England, and finally to New York.
The next visitation was due under
this periodical law in 1877, and in
December Of that year there was
great mortality from the disease in
Jeddah, Mecca and throughout Arabia,
and sporadic cases were reported in
land caravans at long distances from
India. This was the year of the
Russo-Turkish war, and ii the disease
had broken out in Asia Minor or the
Balkans its ravages would have been
terrible. Its progress was stayed in
1878, and it did not reach the Mediter-
ranean ports.
1t is not easy to determine whether
the present appearance of cholera
in Egypt is directly connected with the
outbreak five years ago in Arabia. or
is to be attributed to more recent in
lection from India. Whatever may
be its marching pace, and wherever
may have been its original point of de-
parture, it is 4 visitor whose approach
mas not ceased 10 be an awful warning.
Its presence in the South Mediterra-
mean ports ought not, however, to
cause the same degree Of apprehen-
sion as formerly. The overland routes
Of communication between Asia Minor
and Egypt on the one hand and
the hives of Indian population on the
other are no longer so denselv
thronged rs to open AN easy nass,oa
for c%ontagion. The railroad system IN
India, the Suez Canal and the Epvptian
trunk line have broken up the business
OF Che caravan routes, and thereby
diminished the danger Of contaoion.
At the same time, q quarantine system
Las been established by various na-
IONS IN the Mediterranean by which
tue progress of plague may be retarded
ana possibly blocked altogether. N Z.

A Live Man in the Hearse.

When returning to this city a few
days ago from Belle Isle. where he had
made a burial, an undertaken overlook
a decrepit oldGerman who had scarcely
vitality enough to drag himself out Of
the way of the undertaker's team. Per-
ceiving the condition of the old man,
the undnrtaker refined his horses and
asked him where he was going. ''Hotel,
Geddes." he said: "Would you like to
rider" the undertaken asked. "Yah"
was the curt reply. The undertaken
got down from his high seat and told
the worn travler that the only place he
had for him to ride was within the
hearse, and if he would accept such
accommodations he was perfectly well
come to do SO. "All right" he said,
and the undertaken threw open the
doors of the hearse and assisted the old
man into it. He placed his bundle un-
derneath his head, lay down on the
floor Of the hearse, and the undertaken
closed the doors and resumed his Jour-
ney. Canal boys stopped their horses,
passers-by gazed in amazement, Small
boys followed the heafse for miles, and
dumfounded people looked out from
thelf WILLOW OF IfonC YARDS at the
strange spectacle. ''Stop! the mans
not dead!' shouted crowd just outside
the limits of Geddes, but the undertake
er drove on all the more rapidly, with
the threatening yells of the crowd ring
ing in his ears. When the undertaken
reached Geddes he released his passen-
ger, who was profuse in his thanks for
the hospitality extended. Between one
and two hundred people collected at
the spot where the man was let out
and demanded an explanation of the
undertaken, who drove away without
satisfying them.-Syracuse (N. ~

A Terrible Tragedy.

A terribly sad and tragic event oc-
Cured at Acambaro, in the State of
Michoacan. the present terminus of the
Mexican National Railway. A number
of men were seated at the supper table
in the Hotel Diligence, place frequent
ed by railroad men whose business
called them there, when Mr.. +. V.
Syberg, q man about twenty-eight years
Of age, employed as civil engineer by
the Mexican National Road, entered the
room, greatly under the influence of
liquor. He walked up to one of the
men at the table and in a few moments
there was a violent dispute between the
two over some trivial matter. 1t ended in
Syberg's exclaiming: ssI'll shoot you!"
Seated at another table close at hand
was a young man named r. 3. Nc
Cabe, who was in the employment of
the road as a line repairer. He had
strapped to his belt a pistol in it's hol-
ster. Syberg, at the time of making his
threat to shoot, was unarmed, but no.
ticing McCabe, who was a friend of his,
close at hand with a pistol in sight, he
rushed over to him and attempted to
snatch it from its holster in order to
shoot the other man. McCabe, who
was perfectly sober, jumped to his feet,
clapped his hands to his weapon and
exclaimed: ''Leave that alone, sir; [
don't allow any mani don't care if he
Is my best friend-to take my pistol
from its holster!" This action on Nc
Cabe's part both surprised and angered
Syberg, who thereupon lost all thought
OF the original quarrel, and, turning on
McCabe, administered to him a terrible
tongue-lashing. McCabe is reported to
have stood the anne for some time, and
then to have got up and started for his
room at the depot. Syberg followed him
toward the house, and McCabe said:
$50 ;-way, and don't bother me any
more. | don't want to hurt you, be-
cause ! know you'll regret this when
you sober up"
In spite OF all %entreaties, however.
Syberg persisted in his abuse, and had
followed McCabe to the door of the
latter's room in a menacing manner,
when McCabe turned on him and gave
him a terrible blow on the nose with
his fist, which knocked him to the floor.
SyberE arose bleeding and rushed out
OF the room. In a few minutes he re-
turned with a pistol in his hand. Nc
Cabe saw him coming. however, and
jumping into his room slammed the
door and got behind it, so as to keen
Syberg out. Syberg gave the door a
couple of shovcs, and finding that he
could not make it yield he drew back,
aimed his pistol at the door, and de-
liberately fired five shots through it.
He then ran to the entrance Of the
depot and stopped to see what had
been the effect of his shots. In a Sec
ond McCabe opened the door of his
Soom and staggered out, bleeding pro-
