INCREASING AT PARIS.
Cholera Getting Firm Foothold Thors-
Government Precautions.


Government Precautions.
PARIS, Sep. S.-The cholera appears to
be increasing. There were 90 cases and
AZ deaths from the disease, variously
described as cholerine and cholera, in the
city and suburbs yesterday.
The government is taking active pre-
cautions, in addition to those already
adopted, to restrict the admission and
transit of Russian Jews.
The attention of the government has
been called to the recent arrivals of Jews
from Russia, mostly passing through
France on their way to North and South
America, several hundred, however, re-
manning in France.
Still larger parties Of emigrants are on
their way to France from Odessa, and
unless sanitary precautions are taken
they may become a serious danger to
France and Western Europe, owing to
their filthy habits, coupled with the cir
cumstance that many of them hail from
the districts where Asiatic cholera is now
raging.
The Minister of the Interior has decided
that Russian Jews landing at Marseilles
are to be sent to the Froul lazaretto,
where their clothes and their persons
must undergo washing and disinfection.
The Prefect of Police has begun to ISSUE
daily bulletins of new cases and deaths
from cholera in Paris and the suburbs.
The first gives SO new cases and Al
deaths Monday; Tuesday, Al new case
and 26 deaths in the city, and new casei
and l6 deaths in the suburbs.

In is gratifying to note there is a
strong feeling in favor of requiring all
voteEs to be able to understand the
language OF this country and to write
at least their own names. At the
November elections this year the
people of California will vote on an
amendment to the constitution which
provides that every voter must be able
TO write his own name and to read in
the English language any section of
the constitution of the United States
1t is hardly likely that 30 meritorious
an amendment will be chosen, but the
signs are good and the moral effect OF
the campaign with an issue ike that
can not be otherwise than beneficial.

Tea is a plant that grows in China,
Japan and other parts of the world.
There are two varieties, thea nigra and
thea viridis-black and green tea. The
same plant produces both kinds. Green
tea is made by one kind of treatment,
black tea by another. The shrub, says
the Detroit Free Press, is raised from
seed like hazel nuts, planted in nurse
ries; it is set out when about a foot
high, lives for fifteen or twenty years
and grows sometimes as tall as six feet

picking is the best when the leaves are
covered with whitish down. This is
in April, the next in May, the next in

man can pick about thirteen pounds of
leaves per day, for which he receives
sixty cash, or six cents. The green
leaves are spread out on bamboo frames

fective leaves are picked out, then they
take up a handful Of the leaves, cast
them in heated pan, get them warmed
up and squeeze ont the superhuous
juice; this juice contains an acid oil, so
acid as to irritate the hands Of the work
men. Then they dry them slightly in
the sun; then every separate leaf is
rolled up into a little ball like shot

into a pan slightly heated, stirring
them up SO as to warm every part alike

PEOPLE OF EASTERN PERU.
The Montana of South America and Its
Inhabitants.


Eastern Peru, though changing its
political title at various periods, has
been called the Montana or wooded
country since the first colony was
planted there, two hundred and fifty
six years ago, says a writer in Harper's
Weekly. The experiences of the early
settlers were an endless succession Of
romantic adventures. Towns were
built and destroyed many times, and
there is scarcely a single site which has
not been bathed with the blood of white
and Indian through centuries of con-
fict. Spanish and Peruvian possession
of this territory has consequently been
more nominal than real until within
the last twenty years, during which
time several of the old mission stations
have aourished forth into cities of from
two thousand TO six thousand inhab-
itants under the commercial stimulus
given by the opening of the Amazon TO
the flags Of all nations in 1865.
Accordingly the majority of the pure
whites now living in the Montana are
either Peruvians originally from the
west coast or Germans, French and
English, with two or three Americans,
who have been allured to this remote
corner of the globe by the prospect o1
speedily amassing fortunes In the rub
ber trade. These new comers are often
noble examples of manhood, full of that
courage and determination which are
needful in establishing government and
commercial prosperity in the midst of q
somnolent and sometimes treacheroui
native population. Women of appar
emily equal rank are, however, conspic
uously absent.

Returns Indicate That Foster Has Been
Chosen Governor.
NEW ORLEANS, April 1.-THE polls
closed here at p. NJ, after the most
important and one of the quietest cleo
tions ever held in the state. Reports
from all parts of the state show that the
heaviest legitimate vote in years has
been polled, but owing to the large
number of tickets in the field and nu-
merous officers voted for returns are re-
ceived slowly. There were five state
tickets voted for, one headed by Nc
Emery, DEM, one by Foster, DEM, one
by Breaux, Rep, one by Tannehill,
Peoples party, and one by Leonard,
Rep. kilograms being received indi-
cate that McEnery has failed to
maintain the strength displayed
in the March primaries. In some of
the large parishes which are Tricky
populated and where there was a fair
prospect of negro control prominent
Democrats went over to Foster and in
consequence his vote in some of these
parishes is so large as to make it almost
certain that he has succeeded in the
state over all tickets in the field.
At late hour returns show that the
Foster ticket has been elected by a
plurality of 10000 or more. Fitzpatrick
is elected mayor of New Orleans by
about 10000. Foster people will also
control the legislature.
