IABlS, Sept. 2Z.-1ile cchtenhial an
niversary of the First day of the year
of the Republic following the revoIu-
ton. was appropriately observed here
to-day by the civic. military, industrial
and commercial bodies of the state.
HAvRE, Sept. 22.-Four new cases
of cholera an! deaths were reported
here YESTERDAY
HAMBURG, Sept. 22.-The official
cholera returns place the number of
new cases since yesterday at $50 and
the deaths at 81, including 80 cases and
% deaths that were not included in pre-
vious returns. These figures show that
the disease is again growing worse, as
on Tuesday only ll9 new cases and 81
deaths were officially reported.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 22.-Thirty-
two new cases of cholera and twelve
deaths occurred here yesterday, de-
crease Of sixteen cases and four deaths
compared with Tuesday returns.
VIENNA, Sept. 22.-The medical cor
respondent of the Nepe Freie Press at
Cracow sends to that paper a most dis
tressing account of the squalor in the
village of Podgorzc, across the Vistula
river, and in Kazimierz, the Jewish
quarter of Cracow. There is no drain
age in Podgorze and Kazimierz, and
oif.ll and filth of all kinds are thrown
into the streets to poison the atmos-
phere An arm of the river cuts off
Kazimicrz rom the old town Of Cra-
COW, and, despite the facilities for an
almost perfect sanitary system, not the
slightest attempt is made to use the
flowing river as a means to keep the
quarter clean. Podgorze is on The
south bank of the Vistula, directly OPP
posite the Jewish quarter, and is con-
nected with the city by the Franz
Joseph bridge
Both places are hotbeds of disease and
during the last two days the number of
cases of cholera there have doubled.
The correspondent charges the author
tiles with neglecting to take even cle-
mcntary precautions against the spread
of the disease. Most of those who
have thus far fallen victims have been
women and children. The men regard
cigarette smoking as sufficient safe
guard against their contracting cholera,
and only five men in the affected dis
tricts have been attacked by the
scourge. Some physicians have claim
ed that cigar and cigarette smoke was
dangerous during the prevalence Of the
epidemic. as it afforded the baciili an
opportunity to enter the mouth and
thus reach the stomach and intestines,
but thus far this theory has not been
borne out by the facts at Cracow, where
the men are inveterate smokers. Many
who heretofore used tobacco sparingly
are now smoking enormous quantities
of cigarettes with the idea that it will
ward off the disease.

How GOLD Is acknowledgements
of gold from New York to Europe are
ordinarily made in very strong hard
wood kegs, each key containing fifty
thousand dollars. At each end of the
keg four holes are bored through the
projecting ends of the slaves, and
through these holes pieces of red tape
are drawn, meeting in the centre, where
a large wax seal is applied, bearing the
stamp Of the house which makes the
shipment. a material cause of loss in
this handling of specie is the rubbing Of
the coin or bars one upon another, and
for this reason twenty-doliar gold
pieces are preferred TO ten or five dollar
pieces, the surface exposed to abrasion
being less Each keg contains ten can
vas bags, and in each BAG is five thou
sand dollars. In the United States as
say Office the rubbing of the gold bars
upor each other is prevented by pack
