NEW lDNk, Sept. lO.-- MS IlOfllnE
opened bright and frosty, and New
York is thus enjoying just the kind Of
weather to prevent any spread of
cholera. The few cases which have mp.
peared here, which were announced
yesterday by the Board Of Health, have
not in any way alarmed the authorities
or the citizens. People here have be-
come educated up to the point where
there Is little or no fear of the formerly
much dreaded disease. The repeated
publication of bulletins, mo cholera in
the city," still appears, and the long
discussions which have taken place in
the newspapers on these subjects, Joined
to the presence OF cholera in the bay for
weeks past, has made the average citizen
feel pretty confident that there is no
danger Of any large mortality from
cholera here.
The city is in too healthy a condition,
it is argued, and the people are too in
tolligent TO allow any serious visitation
of cholera to take place. However,
this will not prevent the authorities and
the public in general from reduubling
their efforts to prove that IAN ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure"
sickness during the voyage.
