of diseases is that of leprosy. It is pecu.
liarly, but not entirely, Mongolian in its
haunts. Recently Dane at Chicago

all diseases, is tracable to bad sanitary

fruits and grains. This particular
disease is thought to owe its origin
largely to contact with and eating of

located is renowned alike for its health.
ful climate, scenic beauty, and historis
cal associations. Even If the Luray
Cayerns we're not the most extensive and
beautiful subterranean palaces in the
world, and the Natural Bridge one of
the greatest Of wonders. the picturesque
ness Of the valleys, the wild beauty Of
the mountains, aud the excellence of the
Luray and Forest Inns, would draw hosts
of visitors from all quarters Of the land.
With the combined attractiveness of
natural wonders, scenic beauty, and
good entertainment, the temptation to
visit Luray aud its neighbors is ire
sistible. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, mindful of this, has arranged
its excursion rates to this territory on
such liberal basis that every one may
enjoy delightful tour of a weeks
duration in the Virginia valley. Every

Mr.. Blaine, with his usual prompt.
ness and power, in bis speech at Lewis :
ton, Maine, disposed of the cheap chatter
and sheet iron thunder Of President
Cleveland's fisheries message. Referring
to the Democratic buster OF the Polk
and Dallas campaign of 1874 about
"54 40 or fight" and the subsequent
ignominious back down Of the Polk ad.
ministration on that same question, Mr..
Blaine said:
President Cleveland is exactly follow
ing the precedents Of his party in his
negotiations with Great Britain--an al
formation OF bluster and OF surrender,
both Of which are equally inconsistent
with the dignity OF nation conscious
OF its great power. We certainly do not
desire continuance OF the diplomacy
which, after studying subject for three
years, can radically change the position
OF the national administration between
Wednesday afternoon and Thursday
morning. On Wednesday the President
was still urging the Senate, through the
entire body OF Democratic Senators, u
surrender all our rights in the fisheries
by agreeing to the treaty, and on Thurs
day he put those Senators TO shame By
directly reversing the position be hat
strenuously held for three preceding
years.
do not believe the American peopl,
will submit TO such trifiiug with greai
question. believe, rather, that the,
will commit the Government to the
great party which from the first day o
Lincoln's Administration to the las
hour OF President Arthur's has main
tanned the force and prestige and RICH
OF the Union against rebellion at home
and aggression from abroad, and did i
without bravado, or bluster, on the one
hands and without Illuminating SURRENDER
on the other.

Pennsylvania STATE FAIR.
September Sd to 18th, 1888, Broad N
LehiRh Avenue, Philadelphia.


In addition to the regular annual exhf-
bition of the Pennsylvania State Agfica1-
tural Society, which is always hrst.class-~
never exceeded and seldom equaled By
any State or providcfal exhibition IL
America There will be the following new
and fresh attractions during the Fair ct
1888:
1. The facilities for reaching and leav.
ing the grounds will be greatly improved.
Exceptionally low railroad rates.
2. The accommodations on the grounds
for ladies and children, as we'll as men,
have received special attention, aud will
be far 10 advance Of other years.
3. The trotting track has been u1ateFi-
ally modified since 1887, the curves
heightened, the roadway broadened, and
everything removed that heretofore pre-
vented a full and unobstructed view OF
the entire course from the grand stand.
4. The increased prizes to be awarded
for horse back riding, ladies as we'll as
gentlemen, insure that much additional
interest will be manifested in this direc-
ton. While there will be premiums for
speed and fancy riding, the main object
will be to encourage ease and graceful
ness with health-giving exercise Ia eques-
trianism; and competent judges will also
be selected to award very liberal prizes
for style, smoothness, and variety of gait.
3. More liberality win characterize the
premiums for trotting, running, and
jumping matches; while the strictest rules
will be observed regarding the character
of tho participants.
0. Semi-daily Polo matches will be had
Of the most pleasing. interesting aud ex-
hilarating description; the renowned Polo

ISOLATION is composed of number Of the
most active and wealthy young business
men OF Providence and vicinity, and,
though experts in the dsshing methods of
Polo, are not to be classed with rowing
professionals of any type.
q The new aud thoroughly pleasing at.
fractions for ladies will far surpass other
exhibitions. Much attention has beeR
given to the departments 10 which they
are more especially interested; aud theirs
will be more liberality and diversity Of
premiums for articles of domestic manu-
factnre, and OF home handiwork OF skill
ful female fingers, than heretofore dream
ed of. The best talent has been secured
this year that the exhibits shall be pro-
perly shown and the true merits OF ar
ticles conspicuously displayed.

will be a prominent and unusual feature.
0. Better music will be had this year
than ever, aud 10 greater variety.

hibition will far excel that Of any former

CUMBERLAND COUNTY VOTES "No

Cumberland county, in this State,
voted "No License" on Tuesday last by
decisive majority. A vote was taken
on the question of granting or not grant
ing liquor licenses under the law passed
last Winter, and by about 1875 majority
the county voted against license. Out
OF vote Of 5000 in the county 5000
were polled. Singularly enough. the
city of Bridgeton, the county seat, which
for several years has been 'dry," be-
cause its City Council refused TO grant
licenses, gave about 80 majority for
license. In Lands township, which
includes the borough of vineland, l,096
votes, which is very close to the vote on
Assembly last Fall, were polled. or
these 795 were against and 301 for
license. Vineland has always been
prohibition town, licenses for retailing
liquor being barred by its charter. In
Millville, the leading industrial city OF
South Jersey, $500 names were on the
registry and but / ,4e9 votes were polled

by small majority.

the polls were open. The liquor men
were hard at work and very quiet, and
it is said, distributed $1,000 in cash
throughout the county. In the Second
Assembly district large vote was
brought out OF the Italian and Jewish
settlements near Vineland. At one of
the polls the temperance people had six.
teen wagons in service all day, resulting
in three fourths majority. The day
was very pleasant, and about two.thirdf
of the voters of the entire county ap
peared at the polls. There was feeling
OF security by the temperance people
from the start. In some parts of til,
county they had printed cardinal tickets
