CURE FOR THE CHOLERA
REPORT MADE BY CONSUL MASON.
The Death Rate at Marseilles and Toulon
"A New York Doctors prescription
That Has Cured several Cases
of the Disease.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1S.-A final report,
dated Oct. /. describing the gradual sub
sidence of the cholera at Marseilles and
Toulon, has been received from United
States Consul Frank II. Mason. The most
fatal day at Marseilles was the DIST of
August, with death record Of siXty-nine,
and that of Toulon was the 9th of August
on which date forty-two deaths were
recorded The subsistence of the scOurge
has been gradual. The epidemic of 1885
has claimed in Marseilles from its out
break to date 1890 victims. Mr.. Mason says:
at is a pleasure to be able to close the
record of this epidemic without including
among its victims the name of any citizen
of the United States. 1t was peculiarly
fatal to foreigners, notably English and
Scandinaviaus The few American fam
lilies who reside here are mostly in circum-
stances which enable them to spend the
hot months away from the city. Two
American vessels were in port during the
most fatal stage of the epidemic. Their
captains were informed Of the exact san
itary condition of the port and were eau
toned as to the diet of their men, and
were also provided with the formulas to
be used immediately in all cases. Both
NtSStlS, ulltl 'llHtlItl -lIl- va -'Oo lINiN'
went to small port near ToulOn, where
they loaded with salt for Boston
and New York. While here there were
nine cases ON board of Asiatic cholera, in
Guiding both captains, one of them having
been seized during the night while his YES
sci was nearing the worst part of the EN-
trance with all the symptoms of Asatic
cholera. He used the remedy and in two
days was cured All the nine cases on
board both ships were similarly treated
and all survived. The prescription
was formulated by the lamented
DIR. Valentine Mott of New York
and is as follows: Tincture of rhu
barb ten parts, laudanum sydenham four
parts, camphor one-half part, syrup OF
ether fifty parts, syrup of bitter orange
peel fifty parts. Dose, one teaspoonful il
little water and repeat until the symp
toms ceases Mr.. Mason who has sturdilN
remained at his post during the two years
of the epidemic at Marselles has beer
warmly complimented by the secretary o
state upon the excellence of his dispatches
and the efficiency of his service.

THEY FLY TO VERMONT.
Another New York Criminal Captured in
This State.


Abram Hammer, for whose apprehen-
sion II reward of 500 had been offered by
j. &; j. Rogers Iron company at Ausable
Forks, n. Y, was captured about seven
O'Clock Thursday evening i'll the town OF
Lincoln, Vt. After the reward had been
offered, Chas. Bartlett, constable at Up
per Jay, started in search of Hammer.
The officer first went to Lewis, where
Hammer had barely escaped capture
short time previous, and from there traced
him to Wadhams Mills, thence to West
port across the Adams Ferry to NerGen-
mes, and from there to Lincoln. Bartlett
found that Hammer had hired out to a
man there. and he proceeded to the house
and quietly took possession of him. The
constable and his prisoner arrived in this
city Friday and took the steamer W il
liams for plattsburgh They went to
Ausable Forks by train the same after
noon Hammer is a beardleSS youth of
about nineteen summers, with mild blue
eye, and has the appearance OF being II
guile,esS sort of Il fellow.
The story of the crime Is an interesting
one On Sunday night, October 18th, the
drug and jeWelry store of Gillespie
Brothers ut Ausable Forks, y. y, was en-
tered by burglars, who stole Il large guam
tity of ieWelry, cigars, liquors, &c. The
case was put lnlO Jnc ndllUS Oh Il lllktI-
ton detective named Cieary. He learned
that for some time the Rogers Iron com
pany at Black Brook had been losing
goods of various kinds and further inves
tigation led to the arrest of two young
men named Hammer and BlaCkbird, Wht
were taken to Ausable Forks and locked
up. After nights confinement Hammer
asked to 90 home, and Mr.. Kemp, prOpre
tor of one of the hotels, was sent Will
him On the way Hammer confessed Of
being concerned i'll the theft and Offered
to show Kemp where the goods were con
cealed. Kemp on his return repeated wha

one but Kemp, and the two went togethe

GOOD ADVICE FROM AN EXPERT.

The demand for stimulauts is more gem
eral in this country thar it has been in our
past history, says tile Atlanta Constitution.
Hundreds of thousands Of good temperance
people, who would die before they would
use liquor, are resorting to opium, choral,
bicarbonates and p~hosphates. When a
man feels badly he takes aromatic spirits
of ammonia. bicarbonate of soda, or some
new-fangled phosphate. Some men load
themselves with q%uinine. Every day new
nerve stimulants are advertised, and people
take them as freely as water. We are
trifing with our nerves and there is no ex-
cuse for it. All that we rave to do when
we find that we are living to fast is too put
on brakes and exercise a little common
sense about matters of diet and rest.

REAL USE FOR A PIANO.

We were shown this week a novel and in
teresting kaleidoscope by two of Lumkin's
most interesting young ladies. The kaleido-
scope was made by raising the lid OF the
piano and forming a kind o~ftriangular tun-
mel from end to end, over which the piano
cover was placed. At one end of the piano
two bright lamps were placed, and the spec
tators looking through the tunnel from the
other end could see the most beautiful sym
metrical forms in endless variety and bril-
IAN colors The effect was produced by
one of the young ladies, who would stand
at the end of the piano where the lights
were, and by carefully mingling bright col
ored flowers, books, pictures, silverware
and other articles, produced a bewildering
effect. With a highly polished piano a
kaleidoscope can be easily made and is a
source ofmuch interest Ge0rgia LadepeR-
