Cholera in Now Jersey.

The people OF Camden, N. j., are consid-
erab1y alarmed over what appears to have
been q death from cholera. Margaret
Kcaly, young Irish domestic on the farm
of Edward P. Hunt, ct White Horse, died
suddenly. Miss Kealy was taken
suddenly and violently i'll, and
.vomited continually until she died, an
hour and half afterwards. The
coroner gavea certificate of death from con-
gestion Of the brain, due to cholera morbus,
and the body was taken to an undertaken
in Philadelphia and was to be buried at
once. The house and corpse were thoroughly
aisiniected. Coroner Beal afterward con-
tinued his Investigations and found that the
symptoin1is in the case were Identical with
those Of Asiatic cholera. DR.. Bowman
Shivers ofHaddonford, who was called in to
attend the girl, did not arrive until after
death, but he is also Of the opinion that it
is case of ture cholera.

Queer Things in Pawn.

A well dressed man entered Mar
ket street pawn shop and quietly put
ting his hand in his mouth took out a
full set of upper teeth, bound ether
with a plate OF pure gold. ct he
had rubbed them on his handkerchief
he handed them shyly to the clerk,
and said in stage whisper:
Give dollars"
The clerk handed the man the mon
ey and the ticket and he slipped quiet
ly out the door.
"That mans been here three times
to-day" said the clerk. 'The first
time he left his watch and chain. Tho
second time he left his diamond stud
and ring. I've advanced him money
on his falso teeth before. He's poker
player. He'll be back for the teeth
and the other things Monday or Tues
day.:
''Do you usually loan money on
false teeth?" was asked.
mo, not often. Some pawnbrokers
do. A couple of medical students
used to come here who got hard up
about once month. Once they had
pawned all their spare clothing and

struments. A couple of nights after
they came here with a long bundle
wrapped in a gossamer coat. They
told me they wanted $40 very badly.
[ opened the long bundle and found q
human skeleton. All the bones wero
strung on silver wire. Knowing them
we'll l let them have the money and
carried the skeleton up stairs in tho
storeroom, where it stood in a corner
for a month before they came after it.
Several times have had women try
to pawn babies. It's common thing
for men to come in here On bitter cold
days and take of their overcoats and
pawn them. A handsome Young wo-
man walked in here this morning, and.
taking off a sealskin sacque, and pawn
ed it for $40. "-Pailatletphia Times.

Where BARRIERS Abound.

The BARRIERS trade is one of the
most important in Persia. The Gus
toms enjoined by the Koran, or relig-
ious law, make 1t indispensable that
BARRIERS should abound in this coun-
try. The Koran makes il honorab BILE
for man to wear a beard, but COM
mands the shaving of the head. There
are two great sects among those who
accept the Mahommedan faith, the
Sheas and the Sunnees. The latter
are all Turks and they shave the
whole crown, excepting a tuft in tho
center by which the archangel may
draw them out of the grave.
But the Persians are all Sheas, and
they have the center of the head,
from the forehead to the neck, leav-
ing long curl on each side. It is
curious to see even little boys with
their head thus polished. The Per-
slams consider it a great disgrace to
lose their side curls. AS they all
wear turbans, or black, comical caps
of Astrakhan lambskin, no one would
suspect the head to be shaved until
the cap is taken off. Then, indeed,
the appearance OF the head is exceed
ingly grotesque. It is evident that
the care OF the hair is very i'm
portant question in Persia. But this
is not all.
One rarely sees gray beard or
gray locks in Teheran. Even the
most venerable men have dark or red
hair. The reason is because all, from
the highest to the lowest, dye their
hair. This is done first with
henna, which gives it reddish tint.
Many prefer to leave it thus. But
others add to the hcnna a second
stain of indigo, and tho combination
of the two colors impart to the hair
a dark brown hue. The tails and
names of the horses are sometimes
tinged with hcnna. Those of the
royal stable are died a~beautiful rose
color. The use of red for curtains,
awnings and umbrellas is forbidden,
1t is color reserved in such cases for
the palace and the king alone.-Letter
from Persia.

y To Enforce the Order.

Gen. Miles has been instructed.to have his
troops in readiness to enforce the observance
of the president s proc anation to the cattle
men. No reports Of a. refusal on their part
to remove their fences have been received
but it WAS thought advisable to be prepared
in the event OF such step being taken by
them. The order was the result OF con
ference between Secretaries Endicott and
Lamar and General Drum. Secretary La
mar fully expects that the troops will have
to be employed before the government sue

Two acts of the present administra-
ton have met almost unanimous APP
prevail. One is the proclamation
warning the great cattle syndicate to
leave the Indian territory; and the
other is the absolute prohibition OF
fences on the public domain for private
use, which have prevented private citi-
zens from passing from one point to
another, and from entering and culti-
Sating the soil.

Alleged Libel in Dakota Census Returns

Bismarck Special.-Hon. George Rice, late
speaker of the house OF representatives, now
attorney general Of Dakota, while visiting
the census Office, as a matter OF curiosity
glanced at the returns from Iaandreau,
Moody county, his home. His
eye glanced nt tho entry oppo:
sito his own name, when he was astcnished
and outraged to find the enumeration had
returned him as "bastard." The enumerr
ator was T. w. Pettigrew, brother OF Franz
Pettisrcw OF Sioux Falls, between whom and
Mr.. Rice there had been 81 bitter political
fcud for years. Mr.. Rice's indignation was
unbounded He Immediately wrote Winsor

Camphor a. Guard Against Cholera,

At a meeting of the Homeopathic
Medical Society at the Ophthalmic
Hospital, New York, four papers were
read which were devoted to cholera.
Drs. Lillienthal, Ball, Belcher and
Hallock all spoke highly of camphor
as a remedy, especially in the early
stages of the disease. Instances were
given in which extraordinary doses
had been taken with excellent results.
DR.. LiIlienthal said that when an cpl
demic of cholera was raging in Europe
on one occasion, 1900 people, each of
whom carried camphor IN a bag sus-
pended over the chest, escaped the
disease, although exposed as much as
others who died by the score.
DR.. Schley counseled the people
to avoid excess in labor, food and
drink, and exercise. He said that the
drinking of brandy in the hope OF
avoiding diarrhea would he especially
bad, but for person accustomed to
moderate drinking to stop entirely
would be bad also.

Thus, our days and the greater part
