markable that she is likely to pull through
where ninety. nine women out OF one hundred

tend with now Is tho depression OF spirits fol-
lowing the total loss OF her sight. Her eyes
cause her excruciating pnin. and have Drought
her vitality TO go low nm ebb that any further
operation In skin erufting lie at present out OF
the question.
A reporter called upon Mrs. Baldwin at the
Getty House. She was supported In bed by

NEWSPAPER OPINION.

Philadelphia Telegraph.


Philadelphia Telegraph.
1t affords disheartening commentary
ON our fin de steele civilization that a
murderous mob can be gathered at
moments notice within fifty miles of the
metropolis of the country TO drive of
with savage fury an afflicted company of
vOyagers most of them women and
children, cast by direful mishap upon
our shores in sOrest need of instant help
and relief After the undeserved misfor-
tunes the passengers of the Normannia
have undergone, it would surely seem
that their sad state would entitle them
TO the sympathy and eager aid of every
human being who could possibly extend
to them a helpful hand but the barbar-
ians of the Great South bay, insensible
TO all human considerations, met
them with threats and such ugly demon
strations of violence that the attempt
to gain respite on shore from the suffer
ings they were enduring ahoat was, per
force, abandoned in despair. The pretext
for this abhorrent cruelty is the allega-
tion that the shore folk are afraid of
cholera infection a senseless plea that has
no foundation in fact. Fire Island the
refuge sought by the prosecuted passen-
the homes of these longsbore hoodlums,
and if cholera hospital was established
there the mainland would not be in
the slightest danger from it. But no
cholera cases were to be sent to
Fire Island at all. The mob pretended
to be afraid of people who haven't had the
cholera at all, and who are not now likely
10 have IL. If case should occur among
their numbers the patient wonld be
instantly removed to Swinburne Island (;
and, meantime, every possible precaution
has been and will be taken to avoid ex-
posture or liability TO the disease. The
governor of New York has called out
three regiments Of militia and the naval
reserves of the state TO preserve order in
Great South bay, and if the force should
find occasion TO administer a sharp and
rebuking punishment to the bay shore
savages IL would do something towards
vindicating the honor of the state and
might prove serviceable in civilizing the
inhuman lslip mob.
