INCREASING DEMAND FOR THE TERRIBLE
From the Toledo News,

The awful death of Miss Gertie Car
no at the Detroit exposition yesterday
while ascending on u horizontal bar at.
tached to balloon was the attractive
feature Of the day. The people are
growing weary of mere acting an i'm
aginary danger. The time is coming
when nothing short of a real tragedy
will satisfy the multitude. The old
Romans fully understood this when
they required some men TO fight a lion
to the death In the coliseum. it is the
same, too, with our esteemed Mexican
neighbors who raised a riot the other
day because the guards killed noble
and brave bull in order TO save the
lives of half dozen men. AS our
country In its boodlinR, monopoly, plu-
tocracy, oppression, deception and ven
allty approaches the declining days of
the Roman Republic, we must have the
accompanying sports and amusements.

WANTED PROTECTION.

The kind of protection the American
protection against the cholera scourge
which, with strident steps has come up
from Asia to Europe and has sowed its
dragon teeth in the sea ports of Europe,
whence comes our tide Of human
traick.
President Harrison and his secretaries
should give up their dabbliug in poll
tics long enough to take active prohib-
itory measures against bacteria breed
ing In the United States.
The cholera is no scare; its depots OF
supplies are at Antwerp and Hsmburg
and Havre. The loathsome monster
Is following the trail of emigration and
from Asia, through the Russian do
minions the deadly bacteria have begun
their swift work of propagation and
destruction.
Months ago the United States Consul
in Italy warned this government
against the importation of foreign rags
now entering so largely into the shoddy
productions of the Mckinley era. And
again and again has the government
been importuned for the protection OF
the industry and health of the Ameri-
can people, to enforce the law against
the importation of pauper labor. But
the rags and the paupers are still com.
ing into the ports of Boston and New
York and no amount of fumigation and
quarantine on sea coast islands will
long keep the United States from the
terrible foe.
Cholera is disease of the aliment
ary canal and comes from the lodge
ment and germination of deadly living
organisms into the human system
directly from the infected body. There
is no way to fight it but by strict
quarantine; no way to conquer but by
determination.

will fill this country with death and
desolation.
The crusades and the pilgrimages
have in all ages been the propogators of
the cholera and other great national
scourges. The cholera Is not carried
on the wings of the wind; the infected
human body is its purveyor and propo-
gator. Once In this country IL would
travel faster than In any other, owing
to the rowing character of our popula-
ton and Chicago and the Worlds Fair

the ages.

WARWlCK'S FRIENDS.
From the Massillonian

The sensible project of sending MI
w. X. l.. Warwick to fill the existing
vacancy in Congress was the inspiration
solely of his friends and is under their
nurture. He has taken no part in the
matter. 1t is assumed that it seems "a

he should not be molested on the suiect

dldate. He has written no letters nor
given information to special messen-
gers. He simply has nothing to do with
the matter. His friends in the four
counties intend to urge his nomination.
and when it is rendered then it can be
seen whether, with the spontaneous and
kindly feeling manifested, he would not
feel 1t as incumbent to accept, as it
must now appear to him unseemly, to
be a candidate in opposition TO anybody.
There should be no acrimony created,

COLUMBUS, Aug. 28.-The almost con-

Mckinley is leading to many complica-

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.


WEDNEsDAY.-The forenoon was oc-
cupied yesterday in trying two search
and seizure cases against John
MCGOWAN who has been keeping shop
at 30 York street. In the first case the
Sheriffs Plummer and Sterling testified
to going there one evening and finding
John waiting upon customers with a
bottle of whiskey stranding on the bar
and eight or ten men in front of the bar
drinking or getting ready to
drink; some of them lost their drink
for the officers got it before they could
swallow it. MCGOWAN acknowledge that
he kept the shop but enied that he was
there at the time this liquor was seized;
said he was up stairs eating his supper
and it was case of mistaken identity.
He knew nothing about the whiskey;
thought it might have been carried in by
ssone of these fellers that goes round
peddling booze from bottles in their
pockets He didn't accuse the officers
of testifying falsely but he should advise
Officer Plummer to ''geta pair of specs
In the other case Plummer went into
the shop in September before sunrise
and found on the bar bottle containing
about gill of whiskey. MCGOWAN on
sighting the officer ran out the back
door, MCGOWAN says that is also mis-
take; he wasn't there; MCGOWAN had no
counsel and defended himself. The
verdict in both cases, one by the first
jury and the other by the second jury
was guilty.

and keep shop at the old Printers Ex-
change, as it is called, on Fore street,
No. 512. The officers say they have been
there.and searched nearly hundred times
within the last year. Nearly always
found the doors locked; heavy doors
secured with a heavy iron hasp and a
pin; and most always found from two to
five men in the kitchen; some in differ

LIQUOR saloons. Found jugs smelling of
LIQUOR. In privy in the rear they have
found bottles of whiskey hung around
in the vault by strings; to be sure other
people use the privy but it is also used
by the defendants. On one occasion the
officers without waiting for them to
open the door broke in the window and
found the floor wet with whiskey which
had been spilled.
John and Hannah both denied that
they were engaged in the Illegal sale or
keeping of Intoxicating liquor. The
whiskey that was spilled when the Off
GERS broke in was some boarder had
who was drinking with some friends;
this was corroborated by the boarder
who said friend from Boston brought
it and it was he that split it on the
floor upon the approach of the officers.
Verdict guilty as to both.

Arthur Barker of Maine Suffering from a
SeIf-Infiicted Wound.

Arthur Barker, aged 80, attempted
suicide at 70 Camden street, Boston,
Tuesday night by stabbing himself in the
chest. It is alleged that he had not
lived with his wife for some time, and
that night he called on her at her rooms
at the above place to bring about a re-
Cancellation. 1t is said that Mrs. Barker
refused to comply with his wish, and
that he went into the hall and stabbed
himself with pocket knife, INJECTING a
serious wound. 1t is also alleged that
Mrs. Barker rushed to his assistance
when she heard him fall in the hall, and
that the injured man made lunge at
her with his knife and inflicted slight
wound on her arm. The couple former
ly resided in Maine, removing to Boston
a few weeks ago, and owing to family

Preble House in this city in 1882, was
long prominent citizen of Portsmouth,
and collector of the port under Presi-
dents Tyler, Taylor and Fillmore. He
was son of Richard Odell, Esq, who
was for y years or more member of
the council of New Hampshire, but in
later years moved to this city and settled
on India street in Portland.
In the days when young Lory Odell
was a Bowdoin student the photograph
er had been unheard of, and class photo
graphs were consequently unimagined.
But the travelling makers of silhouettes
were abroad and the Bowdoin boys used
The Portland daily press., 1892-01-21

to have their class pictures taken by this
man with the scissors. The silhouettes
were not really bad likenesses; and the
boys of '23 probably took away their
class portraits to their homes and dis
played them with all the interest that
the college boy of today has in showing
the finest productions of the phograph-
er. Nearly all the college boys of that
date seem to have sat for their silhou-
cites, as Judge Odell's collection in
cludes not only members of the class Of
'23, but other students who must have
been his friends. tits said, however,
The Portland daily press., 1892-01-21

Hiram Hayes Hobbs was from North
Berwick, and beside his name on the
original silhouette is the affectionate
nickname ''Hobbie." He was probably
the popular young man of the class of
'2S.
The silhouette Of VIM. ]. Reed of
Bath, shows how Bowdoin senior
looked in all his dignity in the year
'23. The hats were made larger in those
days, or seniors did not have so big
deads. Young Reed died soon after
leaving college.
The silhouettes given here are only a
few of the interesting display given last
night. They show that photography is
invaluable in preserving the expressions
of friends and classmates; and also that
the college boys of '23 were not entirely
