is necessary that the man with q
barrel come promptly to the front
and deposit for the payment of the

no doubt that rattling good fair
could be held in this city, but the
payment of premiums must be guar,
anteed.

Cooper's Story of the Cholera.

Ihave in my possession copy Of Fenimore
Cooper's Residence in France" published in
1895, and Astounding in curious facts and an
scdotes, says q writer In the Phiiadelphis Tete-
O a h. The American novelist dweit In this
city during the whole duration of the cholera
visitation OF 1882, and he gives a very thrilling
account OF his experience at that time. Paris
then probably had about 1.O00, coo inhabitants,
q number that had tripled during the past
sixty years. and at that time the deaths from
the epidemic amounted to 1000 daily. He
writes: THE manner In which individuals
known to us have vanished as it were, from
before our eyes, has been shockingly sudden
To-day the report may be that our mkman
has gone; yesterday It was the butchers boy;
the day before the poulterer; and presently a
new servant appears with a message
from friend, and on inquiring
for his predecessor we learn that he is
dead. There was a succession of apple women
seated at the street corners between the Rue
st. Dominique and the Pont Royal, with whose
faces had become familiar as passed to and
fro between our hotel and the Tuileries Every
one OF these disappeared; the last, l was told
dropping from her chair and dying before
those who came to her aid had reached the
nearest hospital"
Cooper met at dinner one day at the house of
an old English general, a French gentlemen,
the Comte de X, who told him the following
strange story: He had accompanied a Polish
general, then In Paris, to dinner party given
in the suburoS. On quitting the house the Poe
stopped to gaze intently at the horizon. His
companion asked him what he saw when,
pointing to a peculiar hazy appearance in the
atmosphere, the other said You will have
the cholera here in less than ten days; such ap-
pearances always precede 1t in the north"

One day We left this city trhe behind time

saw another freight train that we expected 10

A Monta Carlo IrcIdant.

At Monte Carlo few days ago says a writer
in the Chicago Herald. was witness of the fol-
lowing peculiar incident: l was seated at a
table in the cafe of the Paris hote', which
adioins the Casino, with eroup of tourists
when haggard an. disheveled Frenchman en-
teTrd huTr eddy. called for a glass OF absinthr,
and, seating himself, proceeded to write vigor-
ously on q sheet OF note paper in front Of him,
Ny attention was attracted by his appearance
and evident nervousness, aud my Interest was
deepened when saw him take from his pocket
= gold-plated revolver. he examined the
plated using it, and wanted to see that it was in
roper order, ten hastily put it back in MS
pocket and resumed his writing.
By this time the attention of the whole group
had been attracted to the man, especially as
they saw him remove the revolver from his
pocket ana toy with it nervousy A stout,
horid Engiishman sat near me. He leaned over
and whispered TO me: My deah fellah. the
chap means to do away with himself, / take
it Then, before ! could reply, he quickly
turned to the Frenchman and said: You wish
to sell that weapon sirg''
The Frenchman drew back IN astonishment.
he galed IN emazement at the Englshman and
hesitated as if he had been insulted. Then
there apparently enSued revulsion of feeling,
for 81 lie overspread his heggard face as he
exclaimed, with shrug Of the shoulders: IF
you wish, sill"
He placed the revolver mechanically upon the
table and picked up the gold pieces laid down
by the EngliShmRn. Then he drank his Rbsinthe
with seeming satisfaction. He frightened up.
His entire manner underwent a change. A few
minutes iater he walked leisurely out of the
cafe aud we saw him again enter the Casino.
Inc Engllshman and myself concluded to follow
MIN. We were surprised to find entering
lhat luck was evidently with him, for a small
pile Of gold and silver lay before him on the
roulette table. We learned later from one of
the attendants that he had won 1900 francs.

A Tlmelv Imm!gration suggestion.

A Timely Immigration Suggestion.
The suggestion made by Mr.. Cleveland in
his letter of acceptance that it is about time
this )untry prohibited the refuse OF the
populations Of Europe from iminigrsting TO
this country is q timely one. The cholera
scare has Gale the attention OF tae Ameri-
can people to this matter forcibly, and the
very general senti menE is that only those
immigrants are wanted who come here with
some prospect Of speedily lettering their
material condition.
IL has not been very many years since
there has been a great change in the char
acjer of the immigrants. A quarter Of
century ago the most of them were far
removed from pau perism. They were clean
and healthy aud the great majority of them
had considerable means. Now the ma Ority
of them are ignorant and brutal and very
few of them have enough money when they
land TO provide themselves with the aDso-
lutte necessaries Of life for more than few
weeks. They huddle together in the worst
quarters Of the large cities or 60 to the
mining and manufacturing towns.
The greed of the owners of the mining
and manufacturing industries aud OF the
great steamship compa les has brought
about ths change. The labor Of these i'm
migrants is cheaper than that Of native
labor, and the mining and manufacturing
companies seek it, and the steamship com
panies having found it profitable TO trans
port the lowest class OF immigrants their
agents so through European countries H.
ducing the poorest OF the people to sell what
few effects they have and invest the pro-
ceeds in ticket to this country. ana
transportation is so cheap that towns and
cities get rid of their paupers and criminals
by shipping them TO our shores.
To draw the line between desirable and
undesirable immigrants is difficult mstter.
The suggestion has been made that every
immigrant be required to deposit 500 with
the Secretary Ct the Treasury with the I'M
Outstanding that it will be returned to him
if he remains in the country three years.
This would shut out paupers. II this test
should be deemed impracticable there are
others equally as effective.
There is a growing feeling against unre-
stricted immigration, and it will not be
long befl re congress will have to notice it
aud legislate in accordance with it.
