The SIN

City Authorities.
SAN ANTONIO, SEM. 3, ls92.

SANANToNIo, Sept. 8, 1892.
To the San Antonio LIGHT:
A sin il a sin whether of commission or
omission and increases in magnitude ac-
cording 10 cause and effect and the
agencies whether merely natural OF a
false perception or neglect of science. In
either of these cases when a presentation
is within reach for a people 10 contract a
constant daily reoccurrence of a criminal
wrong against a large community, this
preventative should be made use of re-
CARELESS of favored persons, corporations
or institutions whether public, private or
benevolent.
This brings US TO the long list of re-
concentrations OF our wise men of the
''materia medico." regarding the disin-
fecting and cleansing of our city as a
preventative measure against that black
death intruder, cholera.
Is it not time that the vault drainage
from the Santa Rosa hospital with its
four hundred and more inmates is being
run into the San Pedro creek. the same
can be said of the city hospital, or the

new buildings recently erected and now

Mrs. A. j. Dignowity. .
We have always more or less of
cholera in this country, though it j,
only occasionally that 1t assumes tina
severe type which is known by physi
clans as Asiatic Cholera. Halls Jour.
nal of Health says that cholera Is
nothing more than exaggerated
diarrhes. When a man has died OF
diarrbps, he has died of cholera, In
reality. 1t may be we'll for travellers
20 know, that the first, the most i'm
portaut, ana the most indispensable
item in the arrest and cure of loose
Dess of the bowels, is absolute quie-
tude on a bed. Nature herself alwsys
prompts this, by disinclining us to
locomotion. The next thing is, to eat
nothing but common rice, psrched
like coffee, and then boiled, and TAX
an with a little salt and butter.
Drink little or NJ liquid of any kind.
Bits of ice m " be eaten and swal-
lowed at Will. Every step taken in
diarhoea, every spoonful of liquid,
only aggravate the disease. II loco

mel bound tightly round the abdo-
men, so as to be doubled 10 front, and
kept well in its place. In the practice
OF many years, we have never failed
to notice q gratifying result to follow
these observances." Foul air and i'm.
proper food are nurseries of cholera.
and il is therefore to be hoped that
the proper authorities will see to it
that existing sanitary regulations are
strictly enforced. Complaints are
reaching us hourly from all sections
of the city. In the Fourth District
residents are purchasing chloride
of lime by the barrel. to empty into
the cutters in front of their houses,
while from tn 9 Third District the
complaints are loud and frequent.
The cholera has already made its fs-
tai appearance I'm the neighborhood
where the negroes are crowded 10
filth and misery. The present condi-
ton of affairs calls loudly for the &C.
ton of the authorities, in at least two
or three important respects; first, the
immediate cleaning of the streets, at
any cost, and secondly, by making
an example of the landlords who, tor
the sake of gain, will consent to al
low their premises to become pest
holes.

tor of that "blue book of Washington So

tion with beautiful girl and perhaps
something more serious. II seems that

in Washington and was assisting her aunt
in receiving when handsome young diplo-
mat called The young woman, who is an
accomplished linguist, singled him out
among the throng that filed the drawing
room for her special prize, chatted easily
with him in his own language and proved
so thoroughly entertaining that the young
man completely lost track Of time. A
merely formal call merged into a coy tete-
a-tete. The fascination appeared to be mu-
tual, aud for the next two days the house
hold was entertained by a song of praise
for the agreeable foreigner.
The senator gave dinner in honor of
his niece and requested her to choose whom
he should invite as her escort. She select

Directory WAS consulted in order to get his
rank and the proper spelling OF his name,
when IL was found that his name was pre-

in conversation that it was all mistake
and the fascinating diplomat was not mar
