WELL. WHAT OF Ira

Cholera of the AsIntic Type is in New
York Guy.
NEW YORK, Sept. l4.-Now that
Asiatic cholera has developed among
the dwellers of this city each man may
ask his neighbor; "Well, what Of it?"
The question, however, indicates the
speaker has fully understood that
cholera is neither contagious nor in
fictitious within the common meanings
attached to the words. In this sense
it is to use the language OF
Prof. Virschow, less dangerous than
diptheria. This impression implies
no over confidence. It lies within each
individuals power to assure his own
personal safety almost beyond perad-
venture. He has but to drink no wa
ter and milk. except such as has been
thoroughly and freshly boiled and eat
no food not thoroughly and freshly
cooked. He will abstain from butter
and cheese, and may then possess his
soul in serenity that cholera will pass
him by.
Ever since the Moravia arrived in
port as the harbingor Of this dreaded
plague, state and local officials have
strained every nerve to prevent its
gaining a foothold in the city and being
spread by various channels TO the coun-
try at large. Health officials have been
strict 10 the extreme, and while the
preparations were made to repel the adj
vance from across the water,it has quiet
y made its appearance in our midst.
AND FIVE coRPsEs
to-day mark its advent.
How is the que tion on evcryoneis
lips Health officers faces wore puz-
lied expression when asked 10 solve the
problem. Disintectauts had been used
with lavish hand both at quarantins
and in the city: baggage had hocn dis
infected; passengers had been detained
even on healthy ships and in the
city the strongest rules Of cleanliness
had been laid down and acted upon
Thg houses were not quarantned, but
no one goes or comes without the
knowledge Of physicians.
Other cases are expected to develop
from the scattered centers Of conta-
giUn, but none in the same buildings.
That is the way the health officers pro-
pose To drive cholera from the city,
now it has got in and if the citizens
will use reason and not get
into u foolish, needless panic
they are sure they will
succeed, though they by no means I'M
| dervaluc the danger. Everything is
ready for the attack. A floating hospi-
tai is in order and tho proposed cholera
camp site which is yet u department
secret can be occupied on the brlefest
notice. There is no panic and no UNI
due hurry mt sanitary headquarters.
Every possibility o every feature Of
cholera epidemic has been discounted
and provided against.
1t was said at police headquarters
this afternoon that the disease had
been brought into the city by butchers
aSing meat to the quarantined Ham
b.rg steamers, but this could not be
