The Board Of Health declared At 4 O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon that there hadn't been .
case OF cholera discovered ir the city In forty
eight hours. Profs. Biggs and Durham. the
intercollegiate OF the Board. reported that In
the case Of Edward Hoppe the bacteriological
examination failed to reveal the presence OF
the spirillum,of cholera Asiatica.
There is. therefore. moro than q reasonable
doubt that Hoppo's death. which on Friday was
credited to tho cholera. was due to that dis
ease. Tho examination in this case has not
been completed. There is also doubt now
whether Mary Conerty. the young woman who
was taken to the reception hospital on Thurs
day, really suffered from cholera. 1t is known
that size has another trouble. and 1t Is possible
that this Is all that ails her. Dropping her
case from the list. there has not been q case IN
tho city reported for four days.
The report Of the Bureau OF Vital Statistics
made yesterday for the week ending at noon
shows the city death rate to be 21.4S. which 10
the lowest death rate over known at this sea-
son OF the year. The report Is as follows: ia.

ANOTHLR World LIE
Neu's Wife Utterly without Foundation.
This anpeared. yesterday. in tho so-called
JUSTICE NEu's WIFE DEAD.

This appeared. yesterday. in the so-called
Brooklyn edition OF the World:
JUSTICE NEU's WIFE DEAD.
Mrs. Emma D. +. Neu, wife of Civil Justice
Jacob G. Neu. died at her home. BOZ Madison
street. yesterday. after a lingering and painful
illness. Mrs. Neu had been an invalid for
some weeks. but expert medical attendance
had given. her friends hope for tho best.
When the danger was supposed to have been
passed the patient succumbel.
Justice Men. who is numbered among the
most popular Of city officials. has the SYM
patty OF thousands in his bereavement.
Friends aud relatives are invited to attend
the funeral. which will take place from tho
II. at = p. NJ"
This announcement was n CHARACTERISTIC
Wmrdlie. made out of whole cloth. and devoid
of the slightest foundation. Mrs. Neu has not
heen an invalid" and has suffered from no
lingering and painful Illness but. on tho
contrary L., and for II long time has been. In
good health. No death has occurred in the
family; and no funeral took place at Justice
read tho lying World; and he did not hear the
announcement until he reached his court in
the City Hall Yesterday morning. He was
dumfounded when some OF the court at
taches expressed their sympathy in his be-
rcavoment., and indignant beyond measure
when his attention was called to the report.
He returned to his home as quickly as posi-
bic to save his wife and family from tho an
noyancs consequent, on, tho false report.
Another triumph OF World fake reporting in
Brooklyn occurred not long ago when Gen.
Crooke. who had been dead for years. was said
to have been seen crossing the City Hall SQUARE
In apparently improved health.

thorities. the Venezuelan Minister. Nicanor
Boulet Poraza. has been endenvoring to find
proof that tho vessel is all that he has claimed
her to be. In this endenvor ho mas been as
sisted by United States District Attorney Ed

John o. Mott. Acting underline advice oftheso
lawyers. q day or two aco Lieutenant
Commander Dayton OF the Brooklyn Navy
Yard. accompanied by United States Deputy
Marshal George Holmes. searched the vessel
from deck to keclson. They found some arms
and ammunition. including n. Calling gun.
but. as those appeared in tho ships manifest.
Cant; Arthur Smith. tho skipper, II tho south

When tho result OF tho search was reported
what seemed good reason FOR believing. that

tho vessel was allowed to proceed. their. place
would be supplied by others. He made out

Government. Mr.. G,Hnzales, says. ltEe the
Captain Of the South Portland. that he is en-
gagged in a legitimate business transaction.
A Commissioner is expected from Venezuela
to prosecute the case for tho Govcrnment.
The Venezuelan representatives on Thursday
asked permission to search the South Fort
land for themselves. This was denied then.
but was granted the next day. when thcy re-
fused to avail themselves OF it.

Everybody knows that there are many kinds
OF fountain pens. and that they differ greatly
in appearance and quality. The bashful
youth who ventures into the sea OF matri.
monytakes no more chances than does the un-
initiated In soliciting a fountain pen. The
man who strikes tho right kind feels that It's
worth It's weight In gold. while the unfor-
tunate. whose pen has to be "doctored " be-
fore tho Ink will flow. or who has one OF tho
kind that lets the ink drop promiscuously at
inopportune times. is oxcusable for almost
any crime short OF murder. 1t was law
