eighteen months of study and farm labor
Mr.. Curtis, accompanied by his elder
brother, who had also been with him at
Brook Farm, went to Concord, Mass,
where they spent year and half in a
farmers family, afterward tiliing "a small
piece of land on their own account for six

to establish Putnam's Monthly on a lit

receipts for every debt of the firm.
His Literary Works
In 1916 Mr. Curtis went abroad, living
for some time in Italy and Germany, and

NEW YORK, Sept. President Harri-
son has abandoned his proposed trip
through northern New York on which he
to start from White Plains this
morning, and has gone back to Washing
ton, post haste, to consult with his cabi-
net concerning measures advisable to
repel the threatened invasion of cholera.
He arrived at this decision shortly after
o'clock last night, and within half an
hour after he received messages from Sec
rotary Foster, of the treasury department,
and Attorney General Miller. informing
him of the cholera invasion, and asking
that means should be taken to prevent
the spread of the scourge. The president
first heard the news in regard to the
Moravia through a telephone message re-
ceived by Reid at Ophir Farm. Quickly
following this came the dispatches from
the two cabinet officers.
Non-Intercourse the Only Safety.
Accordingly the president took train at
9:30 p. m. and arrived here at 1885. He
was driven at once to Jersey City, and
while waiting for the Washington train
he said: at is my duty to abandon all
other considerations and return immeGi-
ately to Washington. / have given the
subject much thought. / am convinced
that all the powers which the general gov
eminent has conferred are being exercised.
The only absolute safety, though, in my
opinion is entire non intercourse with the
infected countries. There is no power,
however, i'll the general government, to
declare such an act. 1 will continue to
give the situation the gravest considera-
ton, and all suggestions will be promptly

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The cholera has
arrived. 1t is true that the ships doctor
says it is cholerine, and that the victims
are mostly babies. But it was cholerine
at Paris, and at Hamburg and Havre, and
it was about as deadly there was any
use of. The steamship Moravia. from
Hamburg, arrived yesterday with the rec
ord of twenty-seven deaths during the
journey, two of the dead being adults and
the others infants. Three other passengers
were ill of measles, the ships surgeon
said. He also said that cholerine was
what allied the dead.
Will Take No Chances.
But the health authorities determined
to take no chances The ship was ordered
into isolation, and she was putin quaran-
tine in Gravcsend bay out of the track of
vessels. Experts in fighting cholera were
at once set to work, the baggage was dis
infected. and every precaution taken to
prevent the terror getting loose ashore,
The saloon passengers, howevar. were per-
mitted to land, after proper measures had
been adopted in their cases. The last
death on board occurred Tuesday Except
the three passengers ill with measles the
immi grants are all well now, but they will
be kept on board until danger is past.

the disease. DIR. jenkins, the health officer,
