New YORK, May 25-From the World:
1.-THE excitement in this city over the MUIR
der of DIR. Cronin still remains at its high
est pitch and may possibly develop
into something serious 1t may be
remembered that in this fight in
the C!an-na-Gael Society last fall DR..
Cronin was supported by several we'll
known men of this city. DIR. Cronin was
openly threatened with death and he has
now met his fate. 1t was we'll understood
at the time that some men had
evil designs against Cronin's hackers in
the East, one Of the strongest of whom
lives in this city, and for whose safety his
friends are daily warning. His Gamma
Gael fight was a long and complicated
one, and DR.. Cronin succeeded in making
the bitterest enemies OF his life during it."

Berlin is less cosmopolitan than almost any

comparatively seldom that one sees strange cos
tunes and strange people, as is daily the case
in New York, Paris and London. 1t is not a
great while since the street gamins would fol-
low an Englishmen or American whose dress
differed somewhat from the ordinary, and cry
at the top Of their voices, "Englanderp' or
"Yankeem Although that has changed some
what in the course of time, the novelty has not
yet worn off. A colored man clad in respecta-

position now, has become proud, and shows his

A Fashionable Disease.

DR.. William A. Hammond in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
There is disease which is certainly becoming
more common every day, and from which
recovery is so rare that many physicians most
capable of judging doubt if it ever takes place,
and that is general paralysis, or general paresis
as 1t is sometimes called. While probably not
resulting from any particular occupation, as
such, 1t may be caused by any employment
which Is above the mental capacity of the indi-
vldlal, or which involves great anxiety or in
which there are reverses or disappointment
1t Is especially prevalent among those who are
engaged in financial speculations or in some
business requiring inventive powers or a degree
Of knowledge which the person does not
possess. 1t Is a most terrible outcome of the
struggle for wealth and position in which the
whole civilized world seems to be now engaged
Those who are satisfied with their lot in life or
who, II not contented, have no hope of improv-
ing their condition, and hence make no effort
In that direction, are never affected with this
disease. doubt If a single case ever occurred
among the slaves of the south, while since their
freedom it has made its appearance among them
and their descendants. There are both mental
and physical symptoms in general paralysis,
and while the approach of the disease is gem
orally lnslduous, its presence is indicated by
certain phenomena which are unmistakea in
their insignifcance. Chief among these is
what the French call delire de grandeur, the
delirium OF grandeur. The patient, for
instance, imagnes that he is the rich
est or the most powerful, or the strongest
or the handsomest man in all the world.
