CHOLERA HAS LANDED.
II Reaches New York City In Spite
of Close Quarantine.


On Wednesday tie Board Of Health, Of
New York City, made public the fact that
the Asiaiic cholera had appeared in that
city. Ithad really been claiming its victims
for several days, but the authorities had
persistently denied it.
The following were the victims up to that
time.
Chas. McAyoy, aged IS years, who died
September 6, Mrs. Sophia Wigann, aged 50
years, who died September 10; William Wig
ann, aged 81 years, husband of Sophia Wig
ann, who died on the following day; Minnie
Levinger, an infant aged year and months,
who died on September II (; Charlotte Beck,
aged 80 years, who died al IL O'Clock Tues
day morning.
A sixth cholera victim has been discovered
in New York city, that Of girl, Mary Con-
merry, who has been in the city six months.
IHE s0URCE or CHOLERA A MISERY.
The physicians Of the Health Department
have been unable to find out how the cholera
was contracted in any Of these cases. So far
as they have been able to learn, none Of the
dead persons came in contact with the
cholera germs. Every pTecaution has been
taken 10 prevent the spread of cholera in
these houses.

QUARANTINE ISEFFEcrUAL.


DR.. jenkins expressed himselfas confident
that the disease had not passed quarantine
but had reached the city in other ways.
He said the best authorities in the world
stated that a stringent and complete quaran-
tine could only claim to prevent 20 per cent.
Of the possibilities Of the introduction of
cholera into place. The other 80 per cent.
Of possibilities Of cholera invading a seaport
were open to other means over which
quarantine had no control. He said that it
was quite possible for person visiting a
cholera patient or hospital to transmit the
germ from first to a third party without
feeling any of the effects himself
The Hamburg-American Line steamer
Bohemia, which left Hamburg on the day
on which the Presidents quarantine order
was issued, arrived at New York Thursday
night She had IL deaths on the voyage
from what the captain reported to have been
"diarrh9a.n The victims were all children
and under years of age.
TIE SHADOW OF DEATH X EUROPE.
LONDON, Sept, 1.-THE shadow ofdeath is
lifting. for cholera's dead this week do not
number more than 1900 if the returns are
approximately true. Hamburg's total death
role has amounted to about 700, and the
plague has renewed in some degree its in
tensity in that stricken city. In Russia,
however. there has been marked improve
ment, and the disease is rapidly disappear
ing in many places in western Europe
where it threatened to become great scourge.
Paris continues to be q danger point,
although the daily reports given out by the
authorities indicate that the pestilenoe is
subsiding.

!. These committees are requested 10 pre-
pare programs, and determine dates and
places for the first institutes in their respec-
tive sections. Where institutes have alrea-
dy been organized, they should work in har-
mony with such organization.
,. Each committee should be called to-
gether by the chairman as soon IS practiea-
bic, and the first regular institute should be
held not later than the 22d of October. This
date is at least three weeks after all schools
open.
3. At the first institute an organization
should be effected by the election of dis
trict leader, president, vice president, secre-
tary and any other officer desired.
T. The district leader should be standing
member ofthe program committee.
5. Should any Of the districts desire to
hold separate institutes, or to be combined
with other districts, request TO this effect
signed by msjority Of the teachers Of such
district will secure the desired change.
6. Each section should decide for itself
the number of institutes to be held during
the term, and the time and place for each
succeeding meeting.
:. The district leaders will be furnished
blanks for the purpose of securing complete
reports of each meeting, together with such
other data. relative to the educational al
fairs in each district, as may be of interest
and value TO the Superintendent.
5. Directors, patrons and pupils should be
invited and encouraged to take an active
part in all these institutes. Only by a cordi-
al cooperation can they be made most in
teresting and profitable.
9. Every teacher should feel the same de-
gree Of responsibility to be present st the
monthly institute, and TO do his full share
in its success, as in his daily work in the
school-7oom. No wide-awake, progressive
teacher will want to be absent or tardy at
any time.
10. Institute work is not sacrifice on the
part of the teacher. 1t pays for itself every
time it is well done, while it doubly pays
the schools in its great benefit to them. Di-
rectors should therefore encourage and sus-
tain their teachers in this good work.
IL. will personally attend as many of
the institutes as possible. l can not attend
all Of them, but expect to hear of the at
tendance, the work and the interest Of every
one held during the term. It is my earnest
desire that every meeting be success and
that every teacher do his full share in secur-
ing such q result.

to approve of the use of Mrs. Cleve-
lands name in the designation OF
clubs designed to do political work.
We trust you will not underyalue our
objection, because it rests upon the
sentiment that a name now sacred
