The New York Herald correspondent

The New York Herald correspondent
at Madrid says, under date OF July 4,
that in the Spanish city OF Murcia,
containing with its suburbs popula-
ton of about 100000, the cholera
has, in twenty-four days, beginning
with June 5, attacked 3,215 persons,
OF whom 1860 have already been
buried. In this short time one person
in thirty OF the city's inhabitants has
had the cholera, and one in twenty-five
has died. This mortality shows that
the disease is going forth for it's sum-
mer campaign in its most violent form.
Later accounts show no diminution
of mortality.

The prediction that the national
banks would not renew their expiring
charters has scarcely been verified in
the case OF the banks in New York
city. Ofthe thirty-one national banks
in that city whose charters expire dur
ing the present calendar year twenty
nine have applied for and secured an
extension for twenty years. The period
of the charters of the other two donot
expire until later in the year. The

The New Hats And Bonnots.
From q Late Ia sllion Letter.

From Late FashlOn Letter.
There is little that is new in shape in
bonnets, but much that is new in trim
ming. The small capote still fingers,
but shows many varieties of brim:
Some arc curved in at the top and flare
like little putspread wings. Others
copy the Marie front of the Marie Stu
ant hcad-dress. Still others show a
modified poke. All have a brim OF
fitted to the head. The hats arc the
more aggressive in appearance: The
majority are so unlike what one
would naturally select for modest
girl to wear that it is surprising
how they could have been manufactured
for such use. The crowns are enor-
mously high and are still more exagger-
ated by the arrangement of tho trim,
ming. The whole effect is bold and
very pronounced, and for such costume S
as will not tolerate styles of this de-
scription the milliners are using all
their ingenuity to tone down and mod
ify by simple arrangement of quiet
materials and softly blended tints and
colors. The general impression Of the
bonnets for spring and "hctween"
wear IS not very different from that
of the autumn. Indeed, the styles
might very we'll be interehan ge-
able. The same Melted gold and
embroidered crowns; the same gold
wheat and balls of pins and other Or
naments; the same gold lace, and the
same dark shades of colors. There is

in the spring, and it is only q critical
examination in detail that reveals here
and there quaint little bonnet of pale
ecru straw or transparent lace, the
former trimmed with the new, wide rib
bons in soft colors and medieval designs
set up on the top of the crown in loops:

there is no other trimming except the

"When the cold November rain came

This was supply for two years.

Robert Bonner and HIS Success.

n. Y. Letter in Galveston News.
Mr.. Robert Bonner is not making as
mach noise in the world as he was ten
or fifteen years ago, when he was push
ing his story paper in every possible
manner. He has become very rich, and
may be pardoned if lie slackens some
what from the very rapid business pace
at which he for SO many years lived.
There are plenty of printers in New
York who set type with Mr. Bonner on
the old New York Tribune, and some
of them told MI Bonner that he was
making grave error when he threw
up good situation to embark upon
an uncertain enterprise. Yet these
men are setting type yet, and Mr.. Bon
ner is worth well On toward s., 600, 900.
His scheme was a good one, and it paid
from almost the very start. It succeed
ed more through the business tact Of
its proprietor than in consequence Of
great excellence in the publication itself,
although Mr.. Bonner spent money for
good matter with great iberality, just
as soon as he got the money to spend.
His advertising methods were new at
that time, and once under beadway the
business grew with great rapidity. Mr..
Bonner still goes to'bis desk eyerv day
and looks with the same care after
thousand details, but he Is also taking a
deal of enjoyment out of everyday life.
He is very benevolent man, and he is
constantly helping persons whom he
knows to be deserving. He delights in
nothing as much as his horses, howev-
er, and he does not let pleasant day
pass without going out for a whirl
through the park and up the road, es
the drive above Central Park is called.
He is very much OF a student, and he
enjoys his home and books almost as
well as his drives and his horses.
Bonner lent to Charles A. Dana the
money that enabled Mr.. Dana to pur-
chase his share of the stock in the Sun
and the two have been the best of
friends ever since. After the Sun had
been going under the new management
for time and before any dividends had
been paid, Amos Cummings, then tie
Suns managing editor, went to Bonner,
and said: "See here, Robert, here is
the Sun going to be big paying CON
ce:n, and I have no stock in it. Why
can't you buy me some, and let me paw
you for it when I CAM" Cummings
and Bonner had set type in the same
alley in the Tribune office, and Bonner
liked him. He told Cummings that
he would lend him enough to buy
ten shares, int as they were selling at
5000, Cummings did not care to as
sumo so much, and they final
~ agreed on five shares. When
it came to the transfer of the
money, Cummings began to talk about
borrowing money on the shares and
making part payment to Bonner but
the latter simply said: "No, will lock
them up in my safe, and You may pay
me for them ont of the dividends they
earn" In three years they had paid for
themselves, and Cummings took them
under his wing. In three years more
they were worth $1,000 share. Bon
per has helped q score of newspaper
men in q similar manner. He is liked
by the printers, and is adored by the
members of DR.. John Halls church,
with whom he worships. His paper is
yet very prosperous, and in ten Years
more Mr.. Bonner will be worth $lO,.
600, 1000.

It is estimated that forty thousand
sheep have died IN Greene county, Pa. :,

1t is not advisable to give horses or
cattle food in such way that they will
have it always before them. They will
then foul what they do not eat, and,
eating when they arc not hungry, keep
the stomach overloaded, and so suffer
from Indigestion. The food is thus
doubly wasted. A good ration for q

hay and four pounds of ground oats and

Pigs require little salt, as oil other
