Difficulties In Strengthening Street

The question of Strengthening East street,
where it intersects with Morris street, was con.
sidered by the city commissioners yesterday
afternoon. At the point mentioned East street
curves sharply and narrowly into Morris. 1t is
so narrow that it is claimed to be impossible for
a long wagon or fire engine to make the turn
safely. To overcome the difficulty strip Of
Mrs Ellen Powers's lot is necessary. She al
first wanted the city to pay her fancy price,
but she now offers for the city's quitelaim to
an old and unused roadway adjoining her prop
erty to deed to the city the small strip at the
corner of East and Morris street. The commits
sioners question whether this can be done. as the
roadway, if abandoned, belongs equally to other
adjoining property holders. Another meeting
will be held Monday.

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON.
The Poem Read by Miss Mary II. Krout at the
Anniversary Celebration.

In addition to the poem of DR.. r. T. Brown
published in the Journal yesterday, two other
poems were read at the celebration of the seven
tieth anniversary of Elizabeth Cady Stanton by
the Woman Suffrage Society of this city, at the
Denison House. 1.-TWO Days" was the title oil
the one written and read by Mrs. L. May
Wheeler, of this city-a poem of considerable
length, which was received with many mani
festations of approval by the audience, and the
other, entitled "In Retrospection," written and
read by Miss Mary H. Krout, formerly of Craw
louisville, now associate editor of the Peoria
Call. Miss Krout's poem came at the end of a
long programme, somewhere in the "wee sma
hours ayont the twal," and, as it is short, the
Journal publishes it:
The day is ending and the time
For peace and rest is near at hand;
She soon shall see the morning break
In splendor on the unseen land.
And as she nears its verge we turn
To backward look across the years
That brought her triumph over i'll,
And turned TO sweetness all her tears.
Who in this hour shall plead her cause?
Who in this hour shall utter praise?
Those who have known the sting of wrong
Those who have mourned through dreary days.
The fainting have revived their strength
Because this soul was strong and true;
The hopeless, through her hope refreshed,
Turned to their joyless tasks anew.
And others yet to live, through these.
Shall find the light that she has sought;
Through ages shall the good survive
Which her answering hands have wrought.

Statistics on Births and Deaths.

Clerk Miller, of the Board of Health, has com
pleted his report of the number of births in the
city during the twelve months ending Oct 81.
The accouchments were attended by physicians
in 1920 cases, and by midwives in 795. The
male births were 1000, and female, 972; white,
1850; colored, l65; number Of twins (pairs) 20;
triplets, l. The smallest monthly number of
births, 100. occurred in November, 1884, and the
largest number, POI, in March, 1885. The total
number is 2,Ol5. including III premature and
still births. Physicians and midwives are said
to be negligent in reporting these cases, the law
requiring report to be made within eight days
after birth. In many instances it is three and
four weeks before the Health Board receives any
information.

Sacrat Messanes.

When the late Sir Henry Parkes was
captive in Pekin during the troubles of
1860 he and his comrade, Mr.. Loch, were
ordered to write note to the British
envoy, Lord Elgin, stating that they
were well treated, though they were IN
dergoing confinement in a loathsone
prison, and had been loaded down with
heavy chains. The note was written in
Chinese by command, but the gentleman
in signing it managed to convey an idea
of their real situation by message in
Hindoostanee introduced about their
signatures, which looked like SO many
twirls and fiourishes.
An answer to this note, together with
bundle of clothes, was received by the
prisoners after week had elapsed. The
answer contained nothing of Importance,
and the presence of the Chinese guard
prevented an examination of the clothes.
But during the night Sir Henry simu-
lated an attack Of cholera, and insisted
that the guard should carry him into the
open air. They finally consented, and
during their absence Mr.. Loch found a
message worked in red thread on the
tail Of one Of the shirts the bundle con
tanned. 1t had been stitched ty Lord

broider by his mother, and read: "Will

The Marquis of Carmarthen, afterward
duke Of Leeds, was foreign secretary in
Mr.. Pitts government until the year
1791, when he resigned on account of
his refusal to withdraw the demands
made on Russia. Lord Carmarthen was
one Of the finest gentlemen Of the time,
high-spirited. wonderfully handsome,
and renowned for his grace Of manner.
ssElegant Carmarthen, 2 so he was styled.
He was very kind-hearted. Once Foote
went into Whites club with q friend
who wanted to write note. Foote,
standing among strangers, did not look
quite at his ease. Lord Carmarthen
walked up to him, and. in order to re-
licve his embarrassment, said: "Mr.
Foote, your handkerchief is hang

Upon which the ungrateful wit
looked suspiciously round and thrust his
handkerchief in his pocket saying,

AS to the means of prevention DR..

As to the means Of prevention DR..
Bartlett has considerable to say, based.
of course, upon his preceding chapter
These are noteworthy sentences: "a
vel. regulated life and good hygienic
conditions are almost certain guarantees
against its action. 1t RACES by prefer
ence in unhealthy localities, among popu-
lations weakened by misery and among
individuals whose powers Of resistance
are undermined by disease or excesses.
All these circumstances are, to large
extent, under the control of individuals,
and. in 50 far as they are. it is for each
one to decide for himself whether or not
be will be attacked by the disease
Should cases of the disease actually
present themselves, one of the most i'm
portant measures to prevent its spread is
personal hygiene. Cleanliness of person
and clothing-the free use Of soap and
water-has been the means of saving the
health Of many a person. What has
been said Of clean streets, clean air and
water is just as true of clean persons;
the cholera germ abhors them. Modera-
tion in eating and drinking is also JIM
portant. for it is possible for the fluid Of
healthy stomach to digest and so de-
stroy the virus Of cholera. not 50 With
that Of stomach wearied with the labor
necessary to dispose of an inordinate
amount or variety Of food, or wrought
up almost to a condition Of mutiny by
floods of alcoholic or brewed liquor
having been poured into it. AS when a
person is fatigued to excess by mental
or physical toll, he readily succumbs to
the malign influence producing pneumo-
mia, SO when the digestive organs are
overtaxed the alimentary canal is in poor
condition to resist the invasion of the
cholera germ.
Lemonade and other drinks should be
taken with moderation. No food should
be eaten unless thoroughly cooked, with
the exception of fresh, ripe fruits and
| vegetables which can be peeled or
paired. Green things, which it is Gus
tomary to eat uncooked, like lettuce,
should be taken very sparingly. Care
should be exercised regarding the use Of
ice, for while ice cut in the winter pre-
ceding an epidemic would not be likely
to contain the germ, it nevertheless may
become the medium for its transmission
it presents one condition favorable to Its
development, that is moisture. Freezing
does not kill the germ, it only arrests its
growth. The best refrigerators have the
ice and the articles of food entirely sepa-
rate. Moreover, says DR.. Bortlett, "be-
ware of sure cures" The concluding
chapter is on disinfection, which means
