for the PRESS that he received information
from the Surveyors office, at least week ago,
to the effect that the Tatay was expected here
from Vera Cruz with contagious disease aboard
and suggesting that he take proper precau-
tions in regard to the matter. He therefore
instructed all pilots and captains of tow boats,
as soon as the Tatay arrived off this port, to
take her to the quarantine grounds, and, as
soon as she was signalled, for the Emita to
give four sharp whistles, when he would i'm
mediately board her in company with the city
physician and see that all chance of danger by
contagion was prevented Monday he receiv-
ed orders from the Mayor to take precautions
in the case of the Tatay but as above observed,
such precautions had already been taken.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
RANCH TEN.

RANCH Ten.
The Indianapolis Sentinel says of Ranch
Ten" to be produced at the Theatre tomorrow
night: Large audiences witnessed the final
psrfo' mances of The new border drama,
Ranch Ten,' at English's Opera House yes
terday afternoon and last night, and from the
amount OF enthusiastic applause it evoked,
they we're evidedtly much pleased with it. As
it is, 1t is far above the average drama of its
class, and comes more nearly portraying border
life as 1t actually Is than many of the alleged
border life dramas we have had in the past.
The scenic and mechanical effects produced
are startlingly realistic, and some of the tab
leaux are marvels oil beauty. The play is SEN
sational to degree. Mr. Meredith is an excel
lent actor and has surrounded himself with
good company.

GOOD. FOR VANDERBILT.
a Handsome Gift worthily Bestowed,

Mr.. W. Fl. Vanderbilt signalled his depart
IRE from the Glen House Monday morning, by
an act of lavish but thoughtful generosity. He
was attracted by the reliant spirit and gentle
manly bearing of the student walters who
come here, from school and college, to earn
something toward the expenses of their eduoa-
ton, and he expressed his appreciation of
their endeavors by leaving his check for
$4,000 with the proprietor, Mr.. Milliken, for
distribution among those young men. That
this liberal gift was worthily bestowed and
that it will be prudently expended by the re-
cipients. will be the opinion of all who have
visited the Glen House during the past ten
years. The millionaire has left behind him at
least thirty sturdy friends, who will hardly be
able to see, as some do, the peril of his great
wealth.
The prevalent American ambition to cheat
the record" has received fresh illustration at
the hands of members Of the Vanderbilt party
In the extraordinary time recently made over
the Mount Washington carriage road, of which
mention has already been made in these COL
umns The Vanderbilts are outspoken in
praise of the Glen and its great hotel. DR.
McLane, their ply stefan, asserts that the loca-
ton is Hnequalled for health and comfort.
