BEGINNING OF HIS SICKNESS.

Monday evening he complained of feeling
i'll, as he had been troubled with Bright's
disease for some time. His symptoms were
attributed to this disease. The physician
visiting him thought that he would be
about on Tuesday. He slept at the hotel.
On Tuesday, however, Prof. Proctor be-
came worse, and began to show symptoms
of yellow fever. As the day wore on the
SYMPTOMS became more markel /, and
there was no longer any doubt of
the nature of the disease. 1t was
then decided to remove him to North Broth
ers Island, but it stormed 50 hard that it
was subsequently considered imprudent to
remove him 30 far, and he was removed TO
the hospital mentioned.
ALARM IN THE HEALTH BOARD.
The board of health was not informed Of
the case until to-day when it caused con-
sternation in the office. Everything in the
and his room and the halls were
thoroughly fuDigated. President Bayless
decided TO keep the office of the board Of
health open tonight for fear Of any further
cases. Dr. Baylsss, however, says that the
efforts Of tho department will probably pre-
vent spread Of the disease.
READY FOR AN OUTBREAK.
In case of an outbreak of fever, he said,
he was prepared to accommodate many
hundreds of patients Oh North Brothers
island, but he feared no such outbreak
Prof. Proctor was about 55 years of age and
robust. lie said there had been no yellow
fever in the part Of the country he had
come from, aud he was unable TO account
for his attack.

What Il Means.

In a recent number of the Womdn's
Journal Mary A. Livermore discusses
upon unity as follows:
"One of the good things that the
French have given US is the word
'Solidarity'-the unit of the race, the
unity of men and Of women. They de-
clare that what is good for the whole
must be good for part. and that what
is good for part must be good for the
whole. Matthew Arnold tells us that
this idea of solidarity dates back farther
than the French communists, that it is
found in Paul's epistles, and that it
flashed out like meteor in the teaching
of Cicero when he said: The time is
coming when there shall not be one
law for Rome and another for Athens
one law for man and another law for
woman; one law for one time and an
other law for another time; but one uni
versal law for all nations. all classes
and both sexes. 1t will be law which
is Just and immutable, and will exist
forever. To that day we are moving"

Women as Storekeepers.

The fields in which women find en-
ployment as readily as men are increas-
ing daily. One of the branches of in
dustry in cities which has been almost
entirely surrendered to women is that
of clerking in retail stores. Their
services are available at a cheaper price
than men. and, in many stores, perhaps
nearly all. they do quite as well as
young men do. In country and village
stores the employment Of women is
rapidly growing but is not so general
as it will be in few years. There are
many lines of goods, particularly in
dry goods and drugs, which a young
woman can sell much more readily
than a man. that is with greater salts
faction to the customer. Women make
good collectors too, and we are glad to
see that their usefulness is extending to
that thankless part Of a storekeeper's
duties. A merchant who has adopted
this new scheme was asked about it and
said: 81 find that my lady collector is
persistent, faithful and Trustworthy,
and has great success in making some
very bad collections, and l don't see
why lady should not be permitted to
ask for the payment of a bill if she can
do almost every thing else about an
office.-Americdn Storekeeper.

A Scientific Solution.

Recognizing heredity as the distinct
i've attribute of the female sex, it be-
comes clear that it must be from the
steady advance of woman rather than
from the uncertain fluctuations Of man
that this sure and solid progress Of the
future is to come. The attempt to
move the whole race forward by elevat-
ing the sex that represents the princi-
pie of instability has long enough been
tried. The many cases of superior
men. the sons of superior mothers,
coupled with the many more cases of de-
generate sons Of superior sires. have
taught US over and over again that the
way to civilize the race is to civilize
woman. And now, thanks to modern
biologic science. we see why this is so.
Woman is the unchanging trunk Of the
great genealogic tree. while man. with
all his vaunted superiority, is but the
branch, a grated scion. as it were,
whose acquired qualities die with the
individual. while those of woman are
handed on to futurity. Woman Is
the race, and the race can be raised up
only as she is raised up. There is no
fixed rule by which Nature has intend
ed that one sex should excel the other.
any more than there is any fixed point
beyond which either can not further
develope. True science teaches
that the education of woman is the only
sure road to the evolution Of man.

General Suffrage.

How to secure a full vote of men in
election is one of the most important
questions in practical politics. All the
meetings, professions, torchlight BAN
ners, music circulars, and newspaper
editorials, are only means to secure
that end Yet, in spite of all these,
one-quarter to one-third of our voters
fail to vote on election day. And the
sbsentees, as rule. are men of more
than average intelligence and property.
Suffragists have always claimed that
the voting of women was the lever
with which to overcome this masculine
Indifference, and that the men who now.
as a rule, stay away will go when
wives, sisters and daughters go.
The Boston Transcript makes the
following significant inquiry:

It is notorious fact that large part
Of the people are so afraid Of offending

must be on the popular side. lam

suppose that when society is purified
and elevated as It should be. that
judges will be elected because Of legal
abilities and moral character, and that
juries will be drawn because Of their
special fitness, intelligence and integ-
rity. And should it become necessary
at any time to try one OF the cases that
occasionally come up from the lower
grade OF society, siNply because
my wife is allowed the privilege of
voting it does not follow that she must
be drawn on that particular jury.
Then, if ninety-nine hundredths OF
our women are contented with their lot
and do not want to vote, why are we
afraid to grant them the privilege?
That is all they ask-simply the privi-
lege to be free to do as they wish. No
body wants to force women into poll
tics, simply allow them to exercise
their judgment. The assertion that
none but bad women want to vote

wosnan Suffrage in Australia-Report Of .
Recent Interesting Meeting Of Leading
SuRrzgists In the Great Island.
A late issue Of the Womdn's Journal
contained the following:
The Australian House has bill be-
fore it which proposes to extend the
suffrage to all women, married or sin
gle. who are twenty-five years of age
and who have a property qualification
The women Of South Australia held a
spirited meeting at Adelaide, on July
90. The discussions were shared not
only BY women. but by clergymen anc
members of Parliament Rev. j. G.
Kirby moved That a woman's suffrage
league be formed in order to obtain leg
islation giving women the franchise on
the principles adopted at the meeting
of ladies and others held at Gawler
place on July Is" This was seconded
by Mrs. .. Lake. and supported in .
lively speech by Mrs. NJ. Lee. who said
that two thousand women of South Aus
tralia had petitioned the throne for the
relief of q cruel evil in India.
An amendment was moved by Mr.. j.
2. Sellar, that the suffrage qualifca-
tons for women should be the same as
for men. He saw no reason why there
should be four years difference between
the sexes. After some discussion it
was resolved not to divide the meeting,
but to pass the original resolution,
which was accordingly done unani-
mously. DR.. Stirling. NJ. p. was
chosen chairman of the league. Mr.. B.
Gould, NJ. P. said he would do all he
could in the House to fix the voting age
at twenty-one. In an excellent speech
the chairman said:
lit was the most obvious thing in the
world that the good government of
the country concerned all who lived in
it alike, whether men or women;
and the equal liability of women
with men to all the burdens and
all the pains and penalties of the
State demanded corresponding rights
and privileges, amongst which the
most important must be the privilege
to take share in the selection of those
who were to make the laws that all had
to obey. That was proposition he
had not yet heard refuted. He was
quite old enough to remember when
all the things now said in opposition to
the granting of the suffrage to women
were said when it was first proposed to
give them a sound. substantial and
liberal education. He had seen the
students Of Girton and Newman Col
lege He found them far more INTEL
igent and better companions than
those who had not received the same
education. He reminded gentlemen
that the suffrage bill had majority
vote, and said he was quite certain he
saw a change coming"
From the spirit of this meeting and
from the cooperation OF members Of
Parliament, there seems to be a good
outlook for woman suffrage in Aus
tralia.

THE PROHIBiTIoNiSTS.
Where K the Vote That Was 60 Rob q
Republicans of victory?

Where K the Vote Thai Was co Rob the
Republicans of Victory?
Next to the establishment expressed
over the disappearance of the mug
wump vote is that relating to the Pro-
hibition vote. The threatened over
whelming of both parties by the advo-
Gates Of prohibition was a boast too
recently made to be easily forgotten,
but at least one of the old parties is
alive and XII No, the other party
is kicking. while the Prohibitionists,
where are they? Where is the vote
which was to rob the Republicans of
the prize by defeating Harrison in
New York? Where was the boosted
Prohibition strength in Iowa, the
stronghold of prohibitory legislation?
There is but one answer to these aues-
tons. Prohibitlonists, unlike mug
wumps, are amenable to the laws of
reason, and when they are con-
WINGED of the error of their
former ways. they thereupon retrieve
their mistakes In spite of sporadic
agitation in few widely scattered
points the Prohibitionists made little
attempt to rally under the banner of
the hermaphrodite ticket of Fisk and
Brooks. Prohibitionists have at last
come to the conclusion that their
cause viii flourish better under Repub-
lican rule than under the proposed
regime of prohibition They never
had chance Of succeeding national
ly. and their hope of obtaining the bal-
ance of power is gone. Their local at
tempts at prohibition have proved
failures, and therefore the wise men of
the party have generally agreed that
the cause will be better served b. aid
ing in the success of the Republican
movement. This, is about the only rea-
sonable conclusion they could arrive
at, and the wisdom Of their action viii
be seen in the coming years. 1t is to
be sadly regretted, however, that they
did not unite for Warner Miller in
New York. who stood upon a platform
