GOTHAM'S SCOURGE.
Health Authorities Have Record Of
SeVenty-six Cases.

a Loathsome Disease Aided by Unwhole-
some Surroundings-New York Off
cials Taking All Possible Precautions
Officers Stationed in Front of Each
Fever House-The Disease Has Already
Madc Its Appearance in Rhode Island.
NEW YORK, February 14.-Notwith-
standing the hope that the colder wealth
er would stop the epidemic of typhus fe
yer brought here by Hebrew immigrants
on the steamer Massilia, two more cases
were discovered tonight, making rs i'll
all. The quarantine on the lodging
houses will be the strictest ever known
here. Sanitary policemen are stationed
in front of each building, and no one
save a health officer is allowed to leave
or enter the houses. This quarantine
will be maintained rigidly for at least
two weeks.
DR.. Edison of the health board said the
plague was the most frightful thing this
city has seen for years. He thus dis
cribed the disease: 1t is called at times
putrid, Jail, brain plague, pestilence,
malignant, camp, ship, spotted and hos
pital fever and Irish ague. 1t is highly
infectious and contagious, liable to be-
come epidemic, and the most dangerous
form of disease known. 1t is so con-
tagious that the slightest contact or even
breath of the same air would COM
municate it, The symptoms are rigor,
headache, dry, heated skin, flushed face,
suffused eyes, heavy aspect, stupor,
thirst and prostration. About the fifth
day rash appears on the skin. 1t is of
irregular spots of a deep red or mulberry
color These disappear on pressure, but
later make stains which pressure will not
obliterate.
The second week of the disease finds
the patient in state of great prostration,
with muscular twitchings, delirium,
coma and commissions. Stricken persons
generally die between the ninth and
twelfth days. In recovering patients get
strength with remarkable rapidity and
are quickly out Dirt and filth, unwhole-
some food and damp apartments are
aiders of the scourge.

ing Talk in London Fifteen Thousand
Pounds for a Few Pearls.
LONDON, February ia most re-
markable sale of jewels is now in pro-
gress in this city. The gems form col
lection made by Miss Kate Forbes, who
recently died at great age, and who was
very singular parsonage. She claimed
to be lineal descendent of King James
H., and spent most of her time in the
lonely apartments which she occupied in
Chester House in Wimbledon, in poring
over old pedigrees, and initiating as we'll
as she could the ways of royalty. 1t
was supposed that the late eccentric
old maid was in very moderate circum-
stances, but after her death it was
discovered that she possessed a unique
collection of pearls and other jewels, as
well as historically valuable enamels,
coins, etc. The executors ordered the
property disposed of at an auction,
which was begun yesterday, and will last
a week. Many of the valuable articles
forming the collection were found in
out-of-the-way places, hidden in the
coach house; stuffed into chimneys, etc.
The value of the property may be judged
more from the fact that Bond street
trader yesterday paid a total of 1855
pounds for a few lots Of pearls, compris-
ing only part of the stones of that ma
ture in the collection. Another lot of
pearls on silk brought 1900 pounds, a
necklet 5000 pounds and three eardrops
$50 pounds.

BERNHARDT THE DIVINE,
Plays Camille superbiy, Evoking Extraor-
dinary Applause.


Sara Bernhardt was Marguerite Coulter in
Camille" last night. and for nearly four
hours held q large audience in the Alvin
Theater spellbound, finally dismissing them
with most magnificent piece of acting. If
this great actress had no other role than
Marguerite she would still command easily
in it the title of "The Divine" The affect
ing story French as its basis Is, becomes a
most piteous recital when Bernhardt
breathes real life into the central figure
She was altogether admirable last
night. but her greatest trtumphs
were the scene with Armaafs father
and the final scene, in which death in grim
reality seemed to stalk upon the stage. Such
a death scene is literally unknown upon our
stage. As Bernhardts genius creates this
most moving picture, there is wanting no
minute particular of the shadow, the sorrow
and the supreme terror of the death chamber
of one we love. With eyes that were more
than damp. the audience applauded the
actress for this triumph of art, and hailed
her with shouts of approval as well as hand
clapping till the curtain had been lowered
and raised three times.
OF course the others were dwarfed bv the
gigantic figure of Bernhardt but NJ. Fleury
played armand with considerable power
and delicacy, while the subordinate parts
were fairly well done also. The play ended
at Has. Tonight packed house is assured
for CLEOPATRA"
