A report has gained credencc that
there are at the present time several
cases Of scarlet fever in the city. We
have taken the trouble to inquire as
to the trutbof the rumor, and from
what we can learn are lead to believe
that this is a mistake. There has
been several cases Of eruptive fever
that might be mistaken for the more
serious and dreaded disease, bu; the
symptoms in these cases are decid-
edly different from the genuine
scarlet fever. The efuptive fever
that is now being treated by ourphy-
sicians is one Of those many COM
plants Of the fever order that achild
or adult might be taken with at any
time, but Is neither epidemic or con-
tlgious in character, and is not by
any means dreaded by the profession
as Is that trying, tedious, serious,
and commonly fatal nlalady known
as the s.ariet fever.

Ifa stranger had visited the livery

ing In search Of team, as we did,
he would have thought that there
had been n hegi-a among our citi'
zens, and that they had hooked on to
every vehicle within reach to facili-
tate their flight. The cause of this
heavy run on livery stock did not
originate from desire to fling dis
lance between Spokane and the de-
parted, however, but was the effect
of an announcement spread among
the young folks that a ball was to be
given ut a new school house on
Peone prairie. Boys who never be-

He Relates Another of his Singular Ex-
 periences.
 [From the St. Louis Republioap.i
 In conversation yesterday afternoon, Bish- op Bowman said: q am not a believer in modern Spiritualism and do not believe that spirits upset chairs and move tables, but I can say that I have never been able to. &C., count for many remarkable experiences have had during my life under different circum- stances. We are much nearer the spirit world than We think, perhaps, and the spirits of the departed dead, I believe, have certain influence over our minds. When voEaSinsx- on the Red S5G E4nad89t a practice tg pfgSy every night and morning for my wife, from whom was absent and who at the time was an invalid. One evening I knelt down as usual and tried to pray for her, but found could not do 1t. This worried me very much but attributed my incapacity to pray for her to nervousness, as had preached ser- mon to the passengers on board that after noon. On the following morning I again tried to pray for Mrs. Bowman experiencing the same difficulty that prevented me from accomplishing my purpose on the evening previous. wondered what had happened. Was I losing my senses? At length the thought occurred to me: Your wife may be dead' But this considered improbable as had received letter few days before, stating that she was much better than she had been for long time. However, I was
 
 pect to receive additional tidings relative to her condition. Finally, on my arrival at Rome, found a letter awaiting me, convey ing the news that Mrs. Bowman had died on the same evening that found myself unable to pray for her while voyaging over the Red Sea. This experience I was never able to account for, yet I shall never forget it. About the same time my daughter had another extraordinary experience, but it WAS not similar to mine. When in Paris she would shut her eyes and could then see her mothers face distinctly. On the evening of her mothers death she attempted to do this and was so terrified at not seeing the face as usual that she ran out of the room into anoth- CT apartment. She felt that something had but her friends told her that her fears were all imaginary. Subsequently she received news that her mother had died about the time she found it impossible to see her face with her eyes closed. In this house, Ereferring to his residence, where the convers sation took place, about this time last year, I was lying sick, at the point of death, the physicians being unable to predict whether I would live or d1e. Then had some very happy visions, as I stated in sermon deliv- cred recently in the Music Hall at Boston," In them the Bishop was transported to the threshold of the spirit world, where he saw and conversed with the spirit of his deceased who told him his wife was waiting for him in heaven

 There are certain places that remind one more or less of flowers, and assuredly Worth,s show-roems resemble more nowadays 6 vast conservatory than anything else. The varied oolors, the glitter of jet, the ripple of lace, the glimmering of satin, the soft rich ness of velvet, all go to make up brilliant and fascinating spectacle. Just now the king of the dressmakers is especially busy, as he is preparing whole series of magnificent toi- lets for transmission to the court of Russia, where the coronation fetes promise to call into being more than the oIdsn splendor and animation of the days of the Czar Nicholas. In these beautiful spring days, full of sum- shine and brightness, the long gallery at Worths looks especially dazzling If one drops in there about 2 o'clock, one is almost certain to find NJ. Worth himself, contemp- lating his last creations before they are finally packed up and forwarded to their destination. For be it understood, all legends to the con trary notwithstanding, that M Worth, the real original Worth, the Worth that was dis covered by the Princess de Metternich, and that invented for the empress her most fa- nous and successful toilets is alive and well and Hourishing, and is as actively interested ss ever in the affairs of his famous house. I saw him the other day while he was in the act of experimenting the last touches to be given to 8 series of dresses which were just finished and which were to be transmitted to st. Petersburg for the Countess Orloff Dayi- doff He looked not an hour older than when I first saw him long years ago, when he had just devised for the Empress Eugenie her famous ball dress of scarlet faille and white and silver gauge, the whole dress being fringed with diamonds.
 The empress of Russia has just ordered toilet from him, whereof the material, gold grounded brocade, is now being woven at Lyons at cost of forty-6ve dollars per yard.

 serious matter, for it's spring had been broken
 whole year, and he put off the expense of purchasing new one from day to day, be- cause he always found that he could employ his money better. Meanwhile, to keep up his dignity, he entered the drawing-room holding his opera hat under his arm, his eternal leather cap, which he wore summer and winter alike, being in his pocket. When he passed into the street, he advanced few steps with his head uncovered, as though he had to smooth his disarranged hair, until, being assured that he was not observed he drew the famous cap from his pocket.'
