IT is fully demonstrated, says the
Cincinnati Times-Star, that the policy
of secrecy in dealing with cholera is
not only unwise, but reckless, and
against the interests of humanity The
authorities of Hamburg have given
themselves lesson on how not to do
when the Asiatic plague breaks out.
Where secrecy prevails there can not be
proper and general sanitation, and that
care of health which seems essential
in preventing the disease. The officials
lacked judgment in trying to conceal
from their own people the presence of the
dreaded Asiatic visitor until the death
rate made concealment impossible.

the fine coal being mined there.
Quite a number of Mexico capital

addition to the fine coal it is under
stood that the fire clay taken out is
equal if not better than that of War

And all the rest got round;

And looked hard at the ground.
And then Perry Francis yelled,
And each man, where he stood,
just hit and struck and knocked and kicked
At every one he could.
And then George Morris fell upon his neck
And all the others ran,
And on his prone and PROSTATE form
Laaped every blessed man.
And then the ambulance drove on.

With twisted necks and broken lungs,
Went driving off again.
