Some Remarks That Have Bearing on
the Cho!era Circular.
NEW YORK. Sep. 3-Dr. Jenkins,
health officer OF the port, says that so far
as he is concerned be is acting independ-
emily of The presidents proclamation.
That is to say, the law OF the state of New
York and the regulations made there
under are such that he will not be obliged
to detain an incoming vessel twenty days,
If in his judgment it il unnecessary. DIR.
Jenkins sal! 40 n reporter: i certainly
think l have the right, by virtue of the
authority delegated TO me as health officer
of the port, to decide on the number of
days that ship shall be kept at quaran-
tine. l shall decide the question in :he
case of each ship, according to the sani-
tary condition prevailing on board at the
time of her arrival here.
Indepen lent of the President.
Il am acting independently of the presi-
dent. l don't mean by that that | am
going to allow a cholera infected vessel to
enter the port of New York. L reai.zc my
responsibility with reference to the city of
New York just as much as the president
realizes his responsibility in regard II the
country. Conditions might be such tl.at
a quarantined vessel could safely b. re-
leased in five days; and again, if disease
kept breeding she might be detained a
year" The doctor said that practically
the shipping interests Of this port will not
be interfered with, so far as he was con-
cerned to a greater extent than if the
presidents circular did noo exist.
Where Uncle Sam Comes In.
But" the doctor remarked "the customs
officers might refuse to receive the car
goes from ships that had been cleared by
me The custom house could decline to
allow the landings of such cargoes until the
expiration of the twerty days named in the
presidents proclamation. l do not think
that the custom house could interfere
with the landing OF passengers, under
stand. but they might keep back
freight" When questioned as to whet her
there any precedent for the seeming

The Collectors idea of 1t.
Collector Hendricks said TO Il reporter
that there could be no clash between him
and the quarantine officer. "Under my
instructions it l. my duty" he said, Ito
forbid the entry of vessels until the treas
ury orders are obeyed, and l shall see that
those instructions are carried out without
regard to DR. Jenkins permits. He does
his duty and I mine. The meshes of my

SOME HOPE AT HAMBURG.
Belief That the Epidemic Has Reached
Worst.

Belief That the Epidemic Has Reached
Its Worst.
HAMBURG, Sept. 3.-The number of
fresh cases of cholera yesterday was 733,
an increase of lifty-two since Thursday;
the number of deaths. 20I, a
decrease of forty-six since Thursday.
The decrease in the number of deaths
offers little com fort, as the increase in the
number of fresh cases will be followed un-
doubtedly by longer death list today.
Nevertheless, there is a general feeling
that the pest has been ut its worst, and
that, although it may not abate rapidly,
it at least will not gain much more
ground.
Hundreds Remain Unburied.
The number cf burials yesterday was
3l5, or two more than Thursday Still
hundreds of bodies are unburied. The
dead wagons are utterly unequal to the
work of carrying the bodies or all the vic
Tins to decent burial. Unless some inn
provement be made at once in the system
the authorities will find themselves
obliged to give up individual interment
and bury bodies by the score in trenches.
Only immediate action can prevent sew
eral hospitals from becoming breeding
houses of disease.
Praying for Abatement.
I'm all the churches services of prayer for
the abatement of the plague We're held
yesterday. They We're attended by crowds
which filled the buildings. Hardly Il
woman in colors or Il man without the
black badge of mourning on his ar n was
70 be seen. and the prayers Were offered
amid the sobbing and groaning of the
congre regations. The desolation of the
city has been apparent as at no other time
s.nce .he introduction of the pest.

NO CHANGE IN HEAVEN.

ii, - we're told by those who say they know,
We ne'er return to earth when hence We 90, !
How can the angel mother recognize
Her babe that reaches 80 Ger it dies?
And If, as we have heard, there is no change
Beyond the grave. All me! how very strange
Must feel the tottering d. D., old and lean,
To meet his sainted mother, sweet sixteenl
And how all Heavens initiates will stare
To see the laughing girl with golden hair
Present the deaf old duffer with q shout
OF "Heres the boy you've heard me brag about!
And when she leads the old man to the throne
To have his name recorded with her own,
Methinks the scribe his blonde mustache will
twirl
Aud write tho man the father OF the girl
If there's no change in Heaven, then by all
means
Ambitious girls should go there in their teens
And men should die before their thirtieth year,
And as all people of all ranks and races
Would much prefer their youthful forms and
faces,
t would be poor reward for virtues rare
To always keep them old and bent up there.
Then what about the babies at the nipples!
The blind, the deaf, the imbeciles and cripples,
And all the crazy cranks that leave the earth,
II no improvement follows spirit birth?
How could soul with talents even clever
Live anywhere forever and forever,
without the acquisition of notion
Beyond psalm singing and routine devotion?
No change in heaven! farewell, then, hopeful
heart,
Farewell, forever, poetry and art,
Farewell philosophy and science, too,
A stagnant world will have no use for you.

most people take great delight in doing,
and every woman takes more interest in q

Sleeves don't get much palmer. Some
months ago we heard that shoulder puffs
would soon be thing of the past. and yet
the latest garments from Paris show no
lessening in the size of the puff. True,
they have fallen slightly, but the width
increases correspondingly. A very grace
full one has long over-puff of
delicate lace hanging without confne-
ment and adorned with q velvet
knot at the shoulder; two diagonal
bands of insertion below the puff
and a loose tulIe ruffie at the wrist, with
another velvet bow. Another pretty one
for evening dress is first pulled, and then
short box-plaited founce added, edged
deeply with lace. Another dainty one for
gauzy materials is caught up into the
seam all the way down, and over the seam
a narrow lace insertion is laid. finished
top and bottom by small rosette. A lace
ruffie edges this also, caught up at one side.

same green silk.
Still another was of pale mousseline de
laine delicately printed. The gown was
box plated back and front on a lace yoke,
and fell from here to the ground loosely,
only gathered by a ribbon at the belt. The
box plaits were run through with ribbon,
where they joined the yoke, and tied in q
bow at the back and front. The sleeves
had lace cuffs and ribbon bows and
bands.
Now that summer grows older, our hats
are beginning TO look very harvesty. We
must take off any flowers or indications of
blooming fields that may be there, and
cover them with ripe wheat and oats. On

plenty. and it will look very pretty.

to wraps. All summer we were gen.

An exceedingly pretty suit, with pele-

The gown proper is a diagonal combina-
ton of these colors, and is cut above the
belt, with broad revers turning out from
an oddly-gaihered white pongee front.
The revers are edged with pale blue, and
three narrow bands of it run down the
front of the skirt. The narrow bodice, point
downward, is also edged with blue. A very

Pretty Morning Wrappers-Harvest

NEW York, Aug. 17.-[Special Morn
ing wrappers are such pretty, comfortable
things are they not? When once you are
clad in a dainty one, comfortably en-
sconced in great easy chair, slipping your
morning chocolate and reading all your
delightful summer correspondence, you
feel as if you never wanted to rise again
and don tight fitting conventional
gown. These silky things are so cool,
and you scarcely feel them, they are so
loose; and still they're becoming, even
though they haven't any shape. l think
the prettiest ones are made of white
China silk, with fine tucked yokes and
feather stitching and plenty of lace.
They're not SO very different from
night robe, but since women are
about to drop night robes and
take to themselves pajamas instead, why
let US cling to the loose morning robe so
long as We can. Another pretty one,
slightly heavier, that saw, was made of
white WOODEN goods closely striped with a
raised line in pale green. 1t had lace
ruffie at the edge over plain silk one of
