full people that the cholera, which,
slow as it is, is more rapid than

to have appeared in New Orleans, but an
official bulletin denies that the case was

has come, however, the Worlds Fair peo-

cholera morbus reported from New York
last week were in reality cholera-for we

spreading in Europe with great rapidity;
the mortality increases steadily; public
works have ceased, and the panic-stricllen
people are fleeing in every direction. An
international Cholera Council is to be as
sembled at once, while in this country a
national sanitary council of health officials
is to be held early in August. These facts
indicate that in the best informed quarters
the belief obtains that the cholera will

and thence will come to this country

Good old story Told Again.

Among the stories told ut the Twenty
fifth Reunion yesterday was the following
good one: One of the drummerS, while
the regiment was on the move, had a pen
chant for fOraging ON his own account, and
the chickens had to roost high to escape
his tar-reaching hands. Whenever night
overlook them this drummer had a good
supper provided for himself On one Occa-
sion he had raked in a couple of turkeys
and had put them into his drum tor con-
venience in carrying. When the regiment
was halted for the night, the Colonel i'm
mediately ordered dress parade, and the
drummers were expected to beat up The
forager made his drumsticks go, but the
quick-eyed Colonel noticed that he was not
drumming.
"Adiutant," said the Colonel, &" that man
isn't drumming. Why isn't he drum
ming?"
The Adjutant stepped up to him, saying
why amt you drummingY
Because said the quick-witted drum
mer, I've got two turkeys in my drum,
and one of 'em is for the Colonel"
The Adiutant went back, and the Colonel
asked, What is it,"

Colonel"
Up to this point the conversation had
been carried on soto vocc, but when the
Adjutant reported the Colonel raised his
voice so that all could hear; "What

The Men Who Held a Fair Portion o
the CanifaI Prize

The Men Who Held Fair Portion of
the Capital Prize.
One-ffth of ticket 6S, $50 of the Louisi-
ana State Lottery Company, which drew
the capital prize of SIS, 900 in the drawing
on Tuesday, was held by Mr.. n. B. Phelps,
a clerk in the office of the City Treasurer
of New Orleans.
This gentleman was seen by a Times
Democrat reporter yesterday morning
while he was engaged in the pleasant
business of exchanging bit of paper for
a check for $4,000. He seemed by no
means unduly excited over his good for
tune, and explained with real or assumed
nOnchalence that he was in the habit of
handling large sums of money.
''Of your own?'
'Oh, no; in my work in the Treasurer's
Office"
'Quite difference" laughed two friends
by whom he was accompanied, ''and you
need not be putting on so much of the sang
fr0id, so to speak, for if ever man was
nervous for whole forenoon, you are the
one"
''Well, L confess that did turn pale for
about FIVE minutes when l compared the
figures on the ticket with those opposite
the capital prize, as published in the
Times Democrat, but the shock had al
ready been broken to some extent, for
when ] saw the evening papers yesterday,
had a strong impression that the figures
on the lucky ticket were the same as those
on one ] had in drawer at the office. !
went home and told my wife thought had
the ticket. but she thought l was joking.
1t was only when l got to the office this
morning and spelled the figures over and
over, one by one, that l succumbed en-
tirely to the pleasant fact"
The conversation was here interrupted
by the entrance of the cashier with that
Testimony of things unseen, that sub
stance of things hoped for" check for
$4,000. Mr.. Phelps having surrendered
the ticket and receipt, rose quickly, and
buttOning his coat, remarked that he was
in something of hurry, as he wished to
pay balance on little property he had
bought some time since, and which had
been lingering unpaid rather longer than
he liked, on account of the late mixed
condition of the city finances, and then
he wanted to get home to see his wife and
children.
"Did you ever win anything in the lot
terry befOre~
siYes; $40 once, and l have had a no.
ton that l would catch it again sooner or
later, and so have. Good day." And he
folded the check and disappeared with a
brisk step in the direction Of the LOuisi-
ana National Bank.
Yesterday morning the Times Democrat
reporter had an interview with Mr.. Sacer-
dote, who held another one-fifth of the
same ticket. Mr.. SacerdOte stated that he
had not played the lottery regularly, but
one day he met a man on BarOnne street
who was selling tickets. He bought one
fifth of ticket and it drew the prize, 3d.
600. Heretofore he had been doing odd
Jobs about the streets, and did not play
the lottery regularly.-Neg Orleans La

More About the Drummers' Tax.

Editor Morning NelrS: Your editorials
on the so-called ''Drummers' Tax seem
to be so fully in accord with the spirit of
the age that / desire heartily to indorse
them. A protective tariff which, in its
working, prohibits, or aims to prohibit,
outside competition is not, l think, suited
to the views of the intelligent thinkers Of
Savannah. That it will produce income
Commensurate with the harm resulting to
the business interests of our city do not
believe. There is no existing legislation
more unpopular among all classes than
this, and we snail place ourselves in har-
mOny with the most progressive thought
of the day by wiping from our statute
books everything of this nature, and look
ing to legitimate sources for the city's in
come. That it will greatly retard the sue
cessful canvass for the new hotel seems to
me also highly probable. Is there any
other side to this question!

A communication was read from Messrs.
Roberts & Williams, OF Philadelphia, Pa,
advocating that an effort be made to in
dIce the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
TO organize a system of freight traffic
trains between the South and the North
ern markets on the same principle
as has been illustrated by their action in
connection with passenger travel. The
Secretary of the association was instruc-
ted to communicate with the General
Freight Agent of the road requesting that
such a system be inaugurated.
The Secretary then read his annual re-
port.
An election of officers to serve for the

ton in the State Agricultural Convention.
An expression of opinion was then had
relative to the effect of the recent cold
weather upon the growing vegetable crop.

that peas were seriously damaged, if not
wholly destroyed.
There being no other business before the
association, the meeting was then on mo-
ton adjourned.
