Now is the Time for Pneumonia.

From the New York Times.
"Got cold, have yOu?" began a converse.
ton between well-known uptown physician
and patient day or two ago. ''well you are
in the fashion. At least IS per cent of all my
patients have colds, and they will have the
pneumonia as a sort of wind-up if they are not
mighty careful when this warm weather ceases,
which it will with an almighty snap within q
few days. The cause of the colds is that the
system, which is far more sensitive than a film
OF gelatine to the action of heat and cold, has
become accustomed to this springlike weather
and the longer it lasts the more accustomed ii
becomes. The system appreciates the fact
that all this is unreasonable and trusts in mans
or woman's good sense to protect it.
"But they don't do it. Just as soon as it gets
warm they abandon their winter wraps and the
air, which is still filed with frost although moi
manifest because of the directness of the sun
gets in the crevices of the winter armor, and
the first thing my patient knows he has to hold
on to his hat to keep from sneezing it off. The
pores have opened to secure some of these
Elusive advantages of warm weather, and Just
as soon as a genuine cold snap comes the
deaths from pneumonia will be greater in
number than they have ever before been in
this city"

THE TRAGEDIAS SAID TO HAVE VERY TROUBLE
SOME TUMoB.
Lawrence Barrett, who closed a long en-.
gagement in New York Saturday night, in con
junction with Edwin Booth, is in very poor
health, and breads that he may have to be laid
OFF for reeuperation even before he get
through the present season. His ailment ha.
caused swelling of the neck. The nature OF
the growth Is glandular, and beyond much
question 1t is tumor. 1t was first observed
by Mr.: Barrett about year ago, and it has
steadily enlarged, until now it is a striking
disagreement. 1t is understood that he will
submit to surgical operation in the spring
and upon the outcome of that will depend his
continuance on or retirement from the stage
His stage costumes have been so altered as to
reach to his chin, thus covering the chief
swelling, but under his cnin are two large
Jumps that cannot be hidden, and which alter
the outlines of his face radically

A Romance i'm the Haytian War.

From the New YORK Star.
The story is that there is a very rich and
rather good-looking widow Slightly coffee
colored, to be sure) who is advancing the
sinews of war to President Legitime. Whether
she is doing this with the view of booming the
Haytian securities or Of ultimately capturing
the president and becoming the mistress of the
Haytian white house at Port-au-Prince is not
stated, but, as Legitime happens to have wife
and family, the latter suggestion is hardly
probable
