On the Beach ut Long Branch.

Few women. go into the surf at Long
Branch, says a local letter writer. One
dashing young woman, who is either
superior to or unaccustomed to society's
newest rules, is a gorgeous spectacle all
In herself. She is q ~bewitching bru-
nrtte, and goes down to the sands at
eleven, or t~hereabout, covered from
head to foot in a mantle of white Turk
ish staff, relieved by broad, red stripes.
She IS accompanied by her French maid
and q little Frenchman, who looks like
a teacher of department., but really fills
the office of "bathing man." She calls
HIM Arsene. He wears knee breeches,
"a tight, short jacket, silk hose, slippers
without heels and a silk skull cap, held
IN place by an elastic band. The color
of his whole attire is sombre black. The
maid places a canlp stool on the sands
and shades it with a parti-colored por:a-
BE awning. Everything being ready,
the mistress throws off her mantle,
losses it to her maid servant and stands
a beautiful picture on the golden sands.
She is. cncased in tight red merino from
neck to her knees. Her arms and lover
limbs are covered with silk, of a glove
Ike t,ghtness. Her short tunic is edged
with lace. Her lustrous black hair is
unbolnd and floats out on the wind.
Her Iathing man at her command lifts
her up ii his arms. and carries her with
q stately step into the sea until he is
knee deep; then he suddenly plunges
her under a big breaker. She comes up
with a splitter and the usual feminine
s-Ilek. Arsene smiles, and speaks to
her assuringly. He submerges her no
more, but gently floats her over the
waves for five OF ten minutes and then
carries her out. The ready maid
throws the capacjous Turkish robe over
tie wet form and Arsene once more
takes up his charge and hurries with
her into her W apartments in the no
Isl. The maid follows, and assists her
TO make the toilet with which she viii
al night make men wonder and women
envicus. The lady Is from Cincinnati.
Her father made q sudden fortune in
grain. She is his only child, and has

THE DREADED CHOLERA.
Precautions Against Injection taken by
the tinted Sinte. Autho rites.


The Treasury Department Is taking
1igld measures u protect TINS country
from cholera infection. Not only are
the quarantine officers careful, but Sec
rotary Folger has issued an order TO all
customs officers, instructlng them to re-
quire evidence that zone Of the baggage
Of immigrants or returning travellers has
been shipped from or passed through
the infected districts since the 20tn Of
June last. 1t is believed by medical
authorities here that cholera will II
come here this year, at any rate, and
perhaps not in an epidemic foru at any
time. United States consuls have been
instructed by the State Department t.
notify it Of the departure Of people or
the shipvrcck of goods fr4m the infected
districts. Cholera IS the hardest disease
to quarantine against, as the gems cJme
N the most unsupported forms, and 1t
may appear at any time. To prevent
the epidemic medical men say the most
essential thing is to keep thecitlcs clean,
50 that it can get no foothold. The
greatest danger Yes, mot in the ilnporta-
ton Of the germs Of cholera, but III cs-
tablishing and maintaining such nnsani-
tary conditions US will make it difficult
ITO stamp it ont. It vas broIfTht from
Norway in 1879 nv some emigrants, and
maze its first appearance III Minnesota,
which was their destination. The germs
came in their baggage, and every person
who was present when that baggage wa
opened died. If the baggage had been
opened at New York as they passed
through that city there might bavcA)ecn
a terrible epidemic, but in the country,
where there was plenty Of fresh air and
natural conditions Of cleanliness, it was
not SO bad. The present epidemic is
believed to be the same that swept over
Egypt last SIMMER and carried of 50
many people there. 1t has cIept along
the Mediterranean until it found the
conditions favorable in Youlon and broke
out SO fierccly there. Toulon is a city
Of perhaps one hundred thousand men.
many of whom are sailors. and from
their habits are naturally subject to dis
eases of an infectious nature. Marseilles
Is a city similar to Toul0n, only very
much larger, and III a very bad sanitary
condition, just prepared for such a
plague.
Cholera, according to high medical
authority, never spreads faster than
men travel, and has never appeared at
places where travellers do not 90. Tn
later years it has spread more rapidly
than formerly, because means of travel
are more rapid. It used to require
about SIX years for an epidemic to reach
America from India. The Indian cpl
demic of 1896 got here in 1892; that of
1871 did not reach New York until
lS4S; that Of 1851 reached New Orleans
in 1865, and the plague of 1868 reached
Minnesota in 1873. The cholera that
was SO bad in New. York in 1913 was
brought Ey immigrants.

A Beautiful Snow Slide.

The Denver, Col, Ne,us SAYS: One Of
the grandcst snow slides that ever oc-
cured IN Colorado took place IA few days
ago just back of the Upper Twin Lakes.
Judge Harlan, an eyewitness, saws it
was the most sublime sight he ever wit
messed. just back of TwM Lakes are
Pomerov, Gordon and Francn Clutches,

knds of feet. The sides OF these

Eeeted with n low, rumbling
U9d that seemed like the roar Of IA
distant storm. and almost Simultaneous
ly an immense volume OF snow began 10
move down the mountain side in one of
the gulches toward the road. The agi-
tatlon seemed to break loose the snow
from Its mornings IL the other two
gulches, aud almost before one had
time 10 think hundreds of acres of snow
were coming down the mountain with a
roar like thunder, and filing the air
with spray as they tore through the
trees aud carried everything before
them. As they descended tfYcir velocity
increased until the rap!ditv with which
tae grra, field of snow and debris came
down was something terrific. The lis

GARFIELD AND PORTER.

The Fitz John Porter debate will
be closed on Friday or Saturday. In
the course of the debate last Satur.
day, General Slocum, who has charge
of the bill, Interrupted Hoar to say
that he had in his possession the
original letters of General Garfield,
saying he was in favor of the COM
mission. General Slocum said fur
Their: "These letters will be produced
before this House by gentleman
from your own side, and one in
whom you have confidence" 1t has
been learned that the Republican to
whom General Slocum referred is
Phelps. of New Jersey, who is to
close the debate in defense OF Porter
General Slocum, on moving the pre-
vious question, will yield his hour to
Phelps, who was selected as an old
friend OF General Porter, and because
the latter has, since the war, been a
resident of New Jersey and of the
district which Phelps represents in
Congress. II is alleged that friends
of Porter have placed in Phelps
hands these private letters and other
new evidence of q notable character
which will fatty and authoritively
contradict the various assertions made
by the opponents of the Porter bill
10 the course of the debate.

A CLEAN GRAB.

The action of the Senate in pro-
viding clerk for every Senator not
blessed with q committee chaifman-
ship has caused a good deal of
unfavorable comment. Notwi tn
standing this, however, proposition
has been made iii the House to pro-
vide each member not Chairman
with a private secretary. Belford
says this is job to get rid of the
surplus in the Treasury, and he says
he will offer resolution TO that eff
feet. The argument used is that
nearly all the Senators ale rich and
able to employ clerks, whereas the
Congressman are poor and deserving.
If this proposition is carried in the
House, the whole thing, including
8 enato clerks, will be clean grab
of over 100000 annually. Its po-
litical effect cannot fail to be stupen-
dous and the Democracy will be
held responsible in both houses the
members of that party being the di-
rect bene6ciaries. The leaders of
the party are discouraging the move.

From all parts of this State and
California the newspaper reports
state that the late storm has done a
great amount of good and that no
fears are now entertained of short
crops on account of water. In the
mountains several feet of snow have
fallen while in the vallies there has
been considerable rain. In Nevada
the storm has benefited the mill men
as we'll as the ranchers, and is expect.

to run all the mills on the Carson
