LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 3.-The storm of

What the New York ssGimes'' says
About Maud n, and FrOtting.

Maud S., the 'sQueen of the Turf"
Thursday trotted mile on the Chenille
track, at Cleveland, Ohio, i'll 2.0S3 This
beats her previous record by half n
second, and is one second and n half
faster than the best mile ever trotted by
any other horse. The track is claimed TO
have been one second slow mt least
owing to midday rain. The trial was
for cup and the time goes on record.
The race was witnessed by 10000 people.
Maud S. has again given new measure
Of the possibilities of trotting. Five years
ago there We're still horsemen who put
the limit of time in which a horse could
trot mile Mt 2.l0. Now that speed has
been exceeded by two animals, while
Maud $. Isl second and a quarter below
it. Since She won 'the record she has
reduced it by two full seconds, that being
the difference between the performance AT
Chicago i'll 1850, by which she beat the
Ill of st. Julien, and her performance
of Sunday.
Already Maud S. has taken her place
with Flora Temple in the development of
American trotting, for the length Of time
| during which she has been the s'Quecn
of the Trotting Turf" and for the number
of wonderful performances by which she
has yindicnted her right to the title. Flora
Temple "held the record" for six years,
from the 2.2ii i'll which she beat
Tacony's time down to the 2.l9i which
eliminated her career, in 1889 and which
remained nnbeaten for six years. Maud
5. has now held the record for five years
with the exception of single day il
1884, when JAY Eye-See held il by I

by the same narrow margin. During til,
six years of her supremacy Flora Temple
reduced the mile time by five second,
lacking quarter, whereas Maud s. ha,
reduced il by only two. This difference
no doubt, indicates that we are rapid,
approaching the limit of trotting speed
but it is to be remembered that the da,
of Maud S. is not yet over There il
nothing to indicate that she may not be a

The report of Alaska's first grand jury
is fruitful of recommendations which in
dictate that the jurors are very live and
discerning men who mean to keep up
with the procession. OF course the re-
port urges that the territory should have
representative in Congress, or, if this
be not granted, that an agent familiar
with the needs of Alaska should be APP
pointed to remain in Washington during
the sessions of Congress. This latter re-
quest seems entirely reasonable, consider
ing the large extent and varied
interests of Alaska and the length
of time required to communicate with
the heads of departments. The report
also declares the existing judicial system
to be inadequate to the needs of the terri
tory and suggests that regular terms Of

that justices of the peace and constable,

A magazine is not often graced with so
amicable a symposium as is the North
american Re0ieao for August, apropos of
cholera. All agree that in this country
it is always exotic, though ever so luxuri-
ant; also that for propagation the bacilli
elected from the body of the patient
must be actually swallowed. They have,
however, magic facility in finding their
way towards water. Herein is the chief
source of danger. In cholera time, all
that is drunk should be boiled. Failii z
this, an infusion of alum may answer the
purpose. There is a mild phase of the
disease more injurious to those who fol
low in his wake than to the patient him
self. Indeed, the disease extends chiefly
along the routes of travel. During its
prevalence, the most out-of-the-way, in.
accessible places are the surest cities OF
refuge.
In an active quarantine, in ejecting
volumes of sulphurous acid and chlorine
| gas and in keeping hawks eye upon the
immigrant till his ultimate settlement, fol
cholera is no less infectious in ambulatine
cases, lies safety.
To this, as to most diseases, the deli
cate and sickly are the usual victims
Especially disordered stomach and di
gestion invite the residence of bacilli
This is due to alkaline conditions besi
counteracted by acids.
Bad air, bad water, unless directly
impregnated with disease germs, dirt,
disorder and dissipation cannot germinatt
cholera but can give it such welcome
that it will perforce be fatal.
When the disease breaks out, all that
has personal contact with the patient is
pestiferous. Chlorinated lime and zorro.
slye sublimate are the only reliable
germicides. In cases of epidemic, the
sober, clearly and temperate stand in
minimum of danger unless obliged to do
nursing or exposed to the death
dealing bundles carried about by criminal
negligence, for it is noticed that the
clothing is more yirulent than the patient
himself.
I'm case of DEATH" says DIR. Wood
1.-THE corpse should be at once wrapped
in sheet soaked with saturated solu-
ton of corrosive sublimate, put in n tight
casket and buried privately without I'M
ne 'cessary delay"
DIR. Ferran's inoculating experiments
find scant commentator. Instead of
future immunity it is feared that cholern,
like pneumonia, by weakening the organs
affected, only predisposes toward future
attacks.
For year cholera has been travelling
westward. In view of this steady march
and the awful havoc in Spain, it would do
no harm to organize local health boards,
reorganize quarantine and generally have
such overturning and cleaning out, both
in public and private, as, whatever be the
summer of 'S6, can only result in sanitary
welfare and salutary advance in the art OF
living.

The New York supreme court has had
before it the interesting question whether
n man who is 'ciyilly dead in the eyes
of the law is dead within the meaning OF
will. A testator bequeathed certain
property to his son, directing that ON the
latter's death the property should 60 to
other legatees. The son was convicted OF
murder and sentenced to imprisonment
for life. The statutory law of the state
declares such a convict ''shall hereafter be
deemed civilly dead" The court, how,
ever, decided that the son is not dead
enough for the purpose Of the successive
legatees, holding that the word death
as used in wills is ordinarily intended to
mean natural death.
