the passengers is very great, but Mr..
Higgins writes that they while away the
time with concerts and other forms of
amusement. Although Mr. Higgins
says nothing about taking part in these
concerts, his Portland friends will not be
slow to guess that he and Mr.. Verrill are
doing their part as Mark Tapleys.
The letters of all are in the same tone.
We are permitted to publish extracts
from one letter, written by Mr.. Harry
M. verrill to his father, Byron D. Verrill,
ESQ.,, of this city. The letter says:
sit is given out that tomorrow or next
day we are to be transferred to an old
Sound steamer or to camp tents on shore
whence we shall be released after de
tention of five days, provided no cholera
appears. If the health officer says to-
morrow or next day, it means about four
days before we can hope for transfer.
1t is reported also that several cases of
cholera developed in the crew today.
The patients were taken off while we
were at dinner"
hssThis thing becomes somewhat monot-
onous. Suppose we could get away on
Friday or possibly Thursday, then there
are five days more to wait at least. No
move has yet been made to fumigate us,
our baggage, or this part of the ship, and
none is in prospect. There is the great
est disposition on board to submit to
all necessary.regulation that are to pro-
tect the people at home from cholera;
but we object to being treated like cattle.
subject to the whims of DIR. Jenkins,
Cholera evidently has hold on this
crew, but it has not touched the cabin
passengers. Nevertheless we have to
suffer And you cannot imagine how
helpless we feel.
II am perfectly willing to camp out in
tent at Sandy Hook or any other desc
late place. Suppose we remain here four
days more, and on tine fifth day some
sailor complains of a headache and is
whisked off to the Island. Then we are
delayed for five more days.
''Our committee drew up a document
today signed by the ten members, and by
tomorrow morning we hope to see it pub
lished in the papers. The disposition so
general on board to submit to all neces-
sary sacrifices for the public safety is be-
ing sorely tried.
NSenator Mcpherson is seated close by
me talking with knot of gentlemen.
The atmosphere is powdery.'
9'No water is forthcoming. The ply
sicians among the passengers advise us
not to battle in the salt water polluted
by the ships refuse. The tanks will
soon give out and then we shall have no
water for cooking and washing pur-
poses" A later letter indicates that
the supply of fresh water promised on
Sunday was received shortly after this
letter was written. Also that the first
disinfectants were received on board
that night, although they had been
promised promptly after the vessels az
rival. ''The letter dispatched by our
committee is full statement of our con-
dition and treatment at the hands of the
health board. There is no fear of chol-
era but an ardent desire to whip some
body.

confirmed by Senator Mcpherson of our
committee, SO it is authentic

How Bargain Days Are Made.

It's rather interesting to notice how
bargains are connected with certain days
in the peoples minds, said a gentle
man in conversation with reporter to-
day. The matter was brought to
my mind this morning by the remark of
my wife as she picked up the paper that
tomorrow was Saturday and she wonder
ed what bargains the Atkinson Company
would offer today, 1t was only small
thing, still 1T shows how the day has been
associated with bargains in the mind of
at least one woman. / was so struck by
her faith that shall certainly look my
self tomorrow and see what they Offer
The reporter was struck by the remark
and decided that he would take look at
the Atkinson ads himself.

Fruit has come to form SO important
part of our daily diet during the past
few years that nearly every one is inter
ested in new fruit and glad enough to get
it at the lowest prices. The new depar-
ture on the part of Geo. G. Shaw d Co.,
that of procuring the finest the Boston
market affords and offering it at Boston
prices, is meeting with deserved appre-
citation and patronage from the public
and proving a great success. Their an

''The crew and stewards paid by the

The general impression gained from
the letter is that there has been
great talk and little performance by the
head of the health department. of New
York as relates to any systematic and
thorough sanitary measures, and the
conditions are to some extent demoraliZ-
ing. But the cabin passengers are or
ganized with their own committees, and
endeavoring to do or have done for them
selves what should be done by the au-
thorities, although they are badly handi-
capped by their isolation, and the help
lessness is exasperating.
The writer subscribes himself
Healthy but Mad.
The Appeal
which Mr. Verrill refers to was signed
by Senator J. R. Mcpherson and seven
others of the committee. 1t is as fol-
lows:
We have been detained since O'Clock Satur-
day morning by order of the health officer, and
vet during that time no official inspection of the
Ship or visit to the sick has been made by that
officer or any one representing him. No scien-
tific expert or other aid has been furnished to
superintend the disinfection of the ship, but
this work has been left entirely to the captain
and his crew. The disinfectants asked for and
pr omised have not been furnished. So that the
work Of disnfeetion begun by the ships Off
GERS has been stopped No means has been
provided for communication with the health
officer; with the result that the sick and dead
have been retained on the ship an undue time.
Fresh water has not been provided to replace
that which was placed on board from the river
Elbe, although application has been made there
emptied. cleansed and otherwise made ready to
receive it.
We hereby solemnly declare that at this mo-
ment there is no illness among the cabin pas
sengers nor has there been for eight days. Can
it be possible that the national government, the
governor, press and people Of New YORK, VIII
permit 500 of their fellow citizens, all now IN
good health, to be longer penned up on this snip
without proper or even any knowledge. on the
part of any official, federal or state, that the
ship has been properly disinfected? therefore
we pray that Your Excellency will put at the
disposal of the health officer such competent
and expert assistance, with every appliance ne
ceSSary to enable him to at once take charge OF
this ship and put the same in perfect sanitary
condition and thus relieve our jeopardy.
Now that you know the truth, we venture to
hope that you will act promptly. A longer de-
lay in this matter seems to us to approach crimi-
nality. subjoined report of the passenger

STATEMENTS THAT ARE TRUE AND
STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.
Read What He Says, for His Words Are o
Great and Peculiar Interest.

No one knows better than the faithful
pastor the great value of sound physical
and nerve strength The strain upon
brain and nerve, the physical exhaus-
ton following excessive work, the re-
sponsibilities and sympathies with Attic
lions and the myraid cares make the
earnest preachers duties arduous and
wearing in the extreme.
We do not wonder, therefore, at the
strong and ringing words of praise which
the eminent devine, Rev. G. d. r.. Mea-
cham, gives that most wonderful of med
icines, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy When he was run down
in health, weak in nerves, Frustrated in
strength, and with his blood badly inn
paired, he was restored to sound and
vigorous health by this marvellous health
remover.
Hero are the exact facts in his own
words:
II am very glad to say in regard to DR..
Greenes great remedy that when my
blood was badly impoverished by an old
scrofula humor, and my nervous system
was greatly impaired, DR.. Greene's medi-
cine gave me wonderful relief
cat the present time my health is as
good as at any time in my life, and my con-
fidence in DR. Greene's remedy is con-
stantly increasing.

edy, but we take more pleasure in Civ
ing to the world Rev. Mr.. Meacham's
own words in regard to the wonderful
benefits he received from this valuable
remedy, because we realize that the earn
est words of minister will have great
weight with sufferers from disease, and
everybody who reads his convincing
words in regard to the sure and remark
able curative powers of this medicine
will lose no time in securing a bottle

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Fontenelle.

"a
last evening Mr.. James O'Neill, one of
the best romantic actors in the country,
produced for the first time in this city,
at the Portland theatre, his new play
written for him by Harrison Gray Fiske
and Minnie Maddern-Fiske Of New York.
The playis melo-drama of the romantic
school, treating of French life in the time
of Louis XIV.
1t may be said at the outset that the
audience was evidently thoroughly
pleased with the drama. They called
the curtain AT the end of each act, and
Mr.. O'Neill-the Fontenelle-and Miss
Fletcher-the Helen--before the curtain
at the end of the third act. The play in
it's construction affords "reminiscences
of well known scenes in other dramas,
among them the scene in Monte Cristo
where La Carconte and Caderousse at
tempt to secure the diamond from Able
Faria, and the one also in the Two
Orphans where Nine. Frochard i'll treats
Louise But for all that, in metropol-
itan theatreS with every accessory at
command, and a very strong cast, the
play could run to crowded houses for a
season. The piece was well staged last
night, the first act, where Fontenelle sees
Helen's face in the freight and the old
hut by the Seine at moonlight in the
third act, being especially good. The
costumes were handsome.
Mr.. O'Neill was, as he always is,
strong, forceful and magnetic in the
character of Fontenelle, and Mr.. Chas.
M. Collins was exceedingly good as Bos-
card. Miss Cushman was pretty and ac-
ceptable as Pompadour, Miss Brandon
innocent and pathetic as Helen, while
Miss Fletcher was strong as the coarse
and brutal Hulotte. The play will be
repeated tonight and should draw large
audience.

Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day Miss Iola4P omeroy will appear at
