She Voted for Grover

4 story Of the first Cleveland Blaine cam
peign. which until now has never been printed,
was the voting Of 8 woman in New York city
tor the great exponent Of free trade who at that
time was elected chief magistrate of the Amer
lean people, says the New York PsesS
The woman in question was the wife Of Jc sepb
Weyb.e, New York business man. He regis
tered. as 81 good citizens do at election time,
out prior 20 the Tuesday following the first
Monday 10 November be fell H. The man in
question was an enthusiastic dem ocrat and
bitterly bewailed his fate OF not being able to
go out TO vote.
HIS wife who wanted TO humor her husband,
sent for the physician in attendance to know II
Il Vould De possible for the husband 70 venture
out. He shook his head and would not hear OF
his patient making the attempt. The good
VIE decided that her husbands vote would not
Dc lost for Cleveland At the time she was re-
siding on Thirty third street, betseen Seventh
house. D. essing herself in her husbands clothes
and placing q muller about her neck, half
covering her face, she went 70 the polling place.
The room was crowded with men as the
hands OF the clock we're nearing the hour OF I.
JostlinR her way 70 the chief inspector. she
the clerks and placing her full set OF ballots in
bis hands, she waited 70 see all distributed, and
then quietly left the place aud made her way TO
her home, where she told her husband OF the
event. Both we're more or less frightened az
the time, and each beiiavei that the inspectors,
who knew the husband well realized that il
was the wife and not the husband who voted.
Nothing was ever said Of the matter. The
husband died. One day. in speaking Of her poor
circumstances, she ment oned the fact of her
voting for Cleveland. and said that if Grocer
only knew the risk that she had run for him he
would certainly give her a pos ton as post
master, but the matter was never brought 70
the President attention.

An Insult to the pactor..

The last number OF the Ne heal Record
reviews the law recently passed by the leg
islature Of this state disqualifying physi-
clans from further practice who have been
convicted once of drunkenness. 1t COM
pares the Georgia law 20 the New York law
on the same subject. In New York ply
stefan may drink as much whisky as he
wants to whenoh duty, and even get drunk,
but if he endangers the life of a patient
while drunk by administering impure medi-
cines. or by any other act, be is guilty of a
misdemeanor and if he causes the death Of
patient under like circumstances he is
guilty Of manslaughter.
The Medical Record seems 70 think this
law severe enough. With reference to the
Georgia law it says: 1.-THE penalty imposed
by GeorgianS upon a drunken physician may
perhaps not be too severe, but the passage
of such Law By the legislature is in the
nature Of deliberate insult to the physi-
clans Of that state"
The Georgia doctors have taken no steps
toward expressing their disapproval of the
Law. Indeed they do not appear to have
considered it matter worthy Of notice. It
q one Of those laws, probably, which be-
cons dead letters as soon as enacted. There
are altogether too many such laws. The
Hsdtcdl Record would find it difficult
matter, probably, to point out an instance
In which the New York law had been ap-
pealed to.

Last Nights Fire.

Il is fortunate that there was very little
wind last night. Had there been stiff
breeze blowing in any direction, except to-
ward the river the disaster would have been
far greater. II was certainly great enough
as It was. Mr G1ckenheimer and the other
sufferers have the profound sympathy OF
the public. Mr.. Guckenheimer building
was an Ornam ent to the city. 1t was the
finest building occupied as a Wholesale
grocery house il tie south. 1. viii be re-
built, ot course. Mr. Gucksnneimer is a
man Of great business ability, extraordinary
energy and isdonitable pluck The mis-
fortune which has overtaksn him will inter
rups his business for q brief season, but
viii no: permanently iojure it.
Iii. SoioDoa has suffered before from fire,
and it is safe 20 predict that be will soon
have his business again in shape so that he
viii be able 70 meet the demands Of mis- Gus
toners. The losses of the other suffer-
ers are light compared with those
Of Messrs. Guckenheimer and Solomon.
The total loss will approach 100000 That
amount means big fire for Savannah. 1t
means big fire for any city, and it recalls
the great fire OF April 6. 1889. which de-
stroyed nearly 100000 worth of prop
erty. Tbs traces of that
fire have nearly all disappeared
and the ruins Of last nights fire will soon
be removed and new buildings will be
erected on the sites of those destroyed.
Savannah has her full SHARE of missortunes,
but she has the pluck 70 overcome them.
