CT olera in India.

Cholera has prevailed in India since
the great pigrimages, which take plaC e
on April IL of every year. notably at
Madras and Bombay. The following
quotation from. the British Medical
Journal of June 9, 1888, will explain its
origin in part The principal part OF
tie food of the pilgrims is furnished by
the priests and temple cooks, and all are
obliged to partake of some it, as it is
regarded as sacred, and eating of it forms
part of the ceremonies.
In connection with the recent prev
alence of cholera in Madras the follow.
ing facts concerning the feeding ar
engagements of the pilgrims may be of
interest: These people depend almost
entirely for their meals upon the temple
Prasadum, or food which, from a
eanitary poiut of view, is far from sat
isfactory One part of this meal is COM
posed OF sand and grit and remnants of
obnoxious insects, The prasadum proper
is composed of unboiledi or half boil
ed rice. not cleared of bran, gravel or
grit, and cakes are made of the same sort
of material, in addition to old, rancid
and rotten gee, or melted butter. The
cakes are kept for some days before they
are consumed 1t is obligatory on the
pair of every pilgrim to eat portion of
this sacred prasadum on account of its
being an offering to the Deity;
and it is sacrilege on the
part of any one to examine or criticise it,
while it is blasphemy TO say that is is bad.
The very few who attempt to cook their
food only get articles such as to cause
diarrhea even among the strongest. The
water used by the ma iOrity of the pill
grims is from a tank which has been used
by the pilgrims for years for washing,
bathing, drinking and other purposes.
An examination of several samples of the
holy food was made by the Deputy Com
missioner, Surgeon Major Price. NJ. D.
Some he described as disgusting in the
extreme; others were better, but all
are utterly unfit for human food
and likely to produce sickness if used as
such. Some of the samples might make
food for cattle; but he can hardly credit
that human beings could be found to
masticate and digest it,
1t has also been rather a puzzle to
sanitarians to account for the outbreak of
cholera in Egypt during the English
occupancy of that country. The disease
was well known to prevail in Bombay,
but the English merchant steamships and
sailing vessels are under such good sani-
tary supervision, and the stamping out of
cholera is so well understood, that few
supposed the disease would be allowed
to slip through; but it seems that the
English Egyptian Sanitary Board has
been thoroughly disorganized.

FILTHY WATER.

Providence seems to have qualm of
discomfort over its water supply just now
The condition of the dampness furnished
the taxpayer may be determined from the
guarded comment Of the Star, THE
dead fish and other filth that come into
our water pipes sometimes do not suggest
very pleasant reflections in regard to the
condition of the mains and reservoirs.
This should satisfy the Ial0n that the
water supply is not as bad in Rock Island
as it is in some places And, moreover,
the Union knows the water furnished the
city now is much better than when Mr..
Kerr took charge of the wafer works.
At that time the condition Of the works
were identically the same as they are in
Providence now. What the city of
Providence needs is a new superintendent
of water works-onc that understands
his business.

BALL TOSSERs.
The Clinton Nine and Stars Meet on the
Green Diamond.
A Large Attendance and Coed Game.

The match game CT ball between the
club from Clinton and the Stars of Rock
Island, which has been talked of so much
Of late, by the lovers of the game In this
city, took place on the Stars new grounds
Friday afternoon. The game opened at
p. M, with Clyde Wade, of Orion, act
ing as umpire, The home nine labored
under somewhat of q disvantage, on &C
count of couple of their best players
being absent, The first inning was a
SCOOTER" on the spirits of the Stars, the
Clintons getting in six tallies, all of those
on errors, Carpenter, for the Cliutons.
was the first batter, who reached first on
safe hit. Monroe knocked "sky
scrapei" to the field, where. it was badly
mnffed. Bowman knocked to third base,
and by error of the baseman reached first.
Cheslone went out on fly. Ellis sent
the ball to first who muffed it. Ward
was put out.
The cause of all the runs was bad
playing by the tielders and basemen. Out
of the six runs made only two balls were
batted out Of the diamond.
The Stars were whitewashed in the first
two innings, but in the third, three men
reached the home plate, the first of
whom was Glcim. The fourth, fifth sixth
and seventh innings, the Stars were
whitewas In the eighth inning. they
made two more runs, and in the ninth and
last inning were again whitewashed.
The Clintons were whitewashed in the
second, third, fifth, seventh, eighth and
| ninth innings In the fourth inning they
made one, and in the sixth, four tallies
The score stood II to 5, in favor of the
CIintous
The game, after the first inning, was a
good one, and some fac plays were made
The most noticeable and remarkable play
was that of Gil Bowen. in left field. A
high one was sent to him, which threat
ened to go over his head; but, in running
back quite a distance, he succeeded in
holding it, and that with one hand. This
extraordinary play set the audience wild,
and cheers after cheers were sent I'D. as
no one expected him TO hold it. The
Clinton boys are good players, it being
even limited that they had one or two pro
fessionals among them. They expressed
themselves as well pleased with the treat
ment they received while here, aud before
leaving for home, extended a kind invi,
tation for the Stars to pay them visit at
Clinton, which they will probably do,

WAS 1T A DuDEl

parties who saw the figure of a man
cross one of the parks yesterday. The
figrue, or the man, was arrayed in style
the like of which had not been seen in the
city before. Even some Of the local would
be dudes stared and gaped as the appari-
ton moved along. The clothes fitted the
wearer like a glove. The pantaloons
reached to the knee from above, and &
bright pair of striped stockings made
connections from below. The pantaloons
were of the zebra colored order, and the
coat was SO short that it would have
made good substitute for a vest had
the sleeves been absent. His head was
covered by a rolling brimmed light-color-
ed felt hat. Moving majestically along
without looking to either side, the figure
attracted considerable attention

SENSIBLE TALK.

A New York paper says that one of the
most successful business men in that city
did his heaviest advertising in the duh
season. He argued, no doubt, that an in
novation upon what appeared to him a
ridiculous custom would attract attention,
and the readers would remember the
house that had enterprise enough to keep
its sign board up where it would do the
most good. There may be a dull season"
when people do not buy many goods, but
there is 40 season when they do not read
and reflect, and when the time comes,
act upon the information they have gained
from reading. That nobody reads an
advertisement is simply the Authorization
of man who is too intently watching
the spiggot to know what is going on at
the bung hole.
