ernor Hill, for purposes of his own, has been
irving to get control Of the society and to have
Lawrence j. Fitzgerald, the retiring state
Treasurer. elected as it's president. To accom-
plish this purpose he has adopted device
hardly above the level of the confdence-man

impression that they were sending them to

is time enough to repair the mistake
What such an authority as "The Medical

auenza will be read with universal interest.
It's article is reprinted in this mornings IRIB-
TINE. "The Record" is of the opinion that our
endemic corresponds in its general character
with the foreign type OF the disease, but says
that it is by no means dangerous, and that the
reports of its fatality have been greatly eX-
aoaerated, while the serious complications In
connection with the malady are really few.

as to prevention "There is no better pro-
lection against an attack than the maintenance
of good health by the avoidance of over-fa-
tigue. of undue exposure and of insuitclent

over. it is evident that, if one does not escape
altogether he will increase his chances OF a

Knives and forks are evidently regarded in Eng
land as mere luxuries, for their use appears to De
prohibited in the various parish ard municipal
almshouses. the paupers being expected to tear
their meat to pieces with their fingers and teeth.
A heated discussion took place about ten days
ago at the meeting of the Board of Parish Guar
dinns of the ancient cathedral city of Chester on
the question as to whether the inmates of the
local workhouse were to he allowed the use Of
knives and forks on Christmas Day. The issue
seems to have been raised by the parish clerk,
who declared that the sight Of the paupers eating
their dinner like brute beasts had disgusted him
beyond measure-and it takes good deal to turn
the stomach of parish clerk. Eventually, after
much controversy, it was decided by vote OF l3
TO 10 to hire knives and forks for Christmas
Day only After that the unfortunate paupers
were to return to the use of their fingers, which,
as one Of the parish guardians the Rev. DIR.
Rawson, sapiently remarked, were made before
forks or knives" Meanwhile much excitement
has been caused among the parOchial authorities
throughout the kingdom by the ridiculous con-
si,Ieration displayed by the Chester guardians for
the supersensitiveness of the parish clerk Fears
are expressed that the use of the knife and fork
on Christmas Day will have the effect of putting
up" the paupers, and that Chester is going ahead
too fast.

A dispatch to The Tribune from Baltimore the
other day conveyed some interesting information
about the work for ballot reform in that State
together with statement Of the method pro-
posed by the Ballot-Refom League for securing
secrecy in voting. This suggestion is worthy OF
special note in States where there are many iilt-
crate voters. IL is proposed that the various
party tickets be printed on the official ballot
in parallel columns, and that the parties be dis
tinguished by some predetermined geometrical
symbol, as a square for the Democratic, circle
for the Republican, triangle for the Prohlbl-
tion, etc. OF course with such system man
without any book learning" would be able to
mark his ballot according to his preference with
out assistance. As the dispatch referred to said,
it would minimize the boss and secure secrecy"
The idea is an ingenious and practicable one, and
there can be no legal objection to its adoption.

The International Marine Conference ad-
jcurned rather Unexpectedly on Tuesday. The
surprise at its early breaking-up was the great
en- because OF the recent action of Congress ex-
tending for two months the time for holding
its sessions on the ground that the work could
not be completed before January /. On the
whole the result of the Conference is disap-
pointing, but according TO Sir George Mares,
representing Great Britain, no radical changes
in the rules and practice governing vessels at
sea were TO be looked for. In fact. he seems
to think that substantial improvement in them
