AN OLD ENEMY.

The old adage that cleanliness is next
to godliness has special significance in
view of the threatened invasion of
Asiatic cholera. Filth is always hospi-
table to epidemic disorders. The COM
munity that most rigidly enforces sani-
tary regulations has the best assurance
that it will suffer the least. The history
of all such visitations emphasizes the
truth of these statements.
An English physician who had prac-
ticed in India and been signally success
full in his treatment of cholera patients,
upon being asked what were the best
precautions against the dreaded malady
said: "Keep clean, be careful about,
your eating, and don't get frightened"
Wiser words were never uttered. DR.
Seguin of New Orleans, whose expert
ence of several epidemics in that city
entitled his opinion to great weight,
used to give about the same advice, and
testified that, in his judgment, large
number of persons provoked an attack
of the disease by their excessive fear of
it. The most scrupulous observance of
the laws of health will not always avail
when the system is weakened and ex-
posed through nervous excitement. He
accordingly cautioned everyone against
permitting the mind to dwell upon the
subject, and declared that a cheerful
disposition was a preventive not to be
neglected.
The chances that we shall be visited
by the epidemic this season are scarcely
such as to furnish ground for any seri-
GUS alarm. But the prominence given
to the topic by the public press will
serve a useful end in stimulating the
authorities to extraordinary vigilance
and caution. The season is too far ad'
vanced to supply the atmosphere condi'
tions favorable to the propagation OF
cholera; nevertheless, we should guard
against the Judgment here of germs that
might find active development with the
coming of warm weather next year
Even if we fail in this it is unlikely that
the disease will ever again be character
lied by the violence that marked its pre-
vious appearances in this country.

THE Philadelphians at Bay Head, N.
J., have been astonishing the other in
habitants of that resort by exhibiting
their latest fad in the way of dancing.
1t is known as the "crab-claw grip, -
and is most suitable for the waltz The
gentleman places his right arm around
his partner, putting his hand as high as
possible between her shoulders. She
clevates her left arm until it is at right
angles with her body and bends her
arm until her fingers rest on her shoul.
der instead of her partners arm. With
his left hand he takes hold of her right
wrist, her left arm being in a similar
position to her left, and holds it nearly
under her chin with her hand tapping
After this position has been secured
they proceed, in true Philadelphia style
to dance without any regard to the
musicians

ESGoLDEN Rose.
GIT OF the fope to Queen Amelia. OF
NPortugal.

GIFT OF the hope to Queen Amelia, OF
NPortugal
When the Golden Rose" the gift OF
the pope to Queen Amelia, of Portugal,
was presented to her by the envoy OF
his holiness, Marquis Jules de Sac
chetti, in the church of the Necessi-
dades in Lisbon, amid imposing cere-
monies, the event marked an epoch of
fifty years since queen of Portugal
received this distinguished honor. In
1912 Maria II. da Gloria won it, and
she was the first queen of Portugal to
get it after a lapse of three hundred
years. This golden rose, says the New
York Sun, is the premium of the popes
of kRome for the best, the most reli-
gious, and most virtuous among the
queens of Europe; but, unfortunately,
there has lately grown up a wicked
suspicion that it brings hard luck, be-
cause great many royal ladies who
gained it lost their thrones shortly af-
terward. 1t surely is not to be inferred
that Leo XIII. sent it to the innocent
queen with the diabolical intention to
dethrone her and establish republic
in Portugal 1t is a beautiful present
thus described in a leading Paris paper
Upon a tall, triangular socle there
stands a sort of chalice with the pontifi
cal arms engraved upon it, and from
this there energies a cluster of colder
roses, one of which, larger and in fuller
bloom than the others, sparl1les with
dewdrops all of diamonds. In the
heart of this rose there is little each
cite, valve into which the balm anC
perfumes are introduced at the mo
ment of the benediction." 1t is need
less to say that this splendid rose ha:
made the queen as happy as big sun
flower. God save her majesty Queer
Amelia!

RECENT intelligence from Louisville,
Ky, is to the effect that a resident OF
that city bled to death the other day as
the result Of strange malady which
has for months bafaed the skill of the
physicians His blood lost all its coagu-
lative properties and had taken on the
appearance and consistence of fresh
milk. The corpuscles of the blood had
become perfectly white. From small
scratch or cut the blood flowed with
such rapidity that on several occasions
it was scarcely able to be stopped be-
fore causing death One morning one
of the smallest of the blood vessels
under the tongue became broken. The
point where the blood came from was
so small that no danger was appre-
hended at all. All efforts, however, to
stop the flow were futile. Every remedy
was resorted to. but of no avail, and in
little less than an hour the patient was
dead.

KEENE AS RICHELIEU.
Very Fine Performance Before a Large
and Appreciative Audience.

Very Fine Performance Before Large
and Appreciative Audience.
Thomas w. Keene opened at the Grand
last night in "Richelieu. The house was
we'll filled, and the tragedian's interpreta-
ton of Bulwer's great character met popu-
lar favor He was called before the cur
tain several times during the evening. Mr.
Barrett, who put on the historic play dur
ing his last Pittsburg engagement, empha-
sized the physical weakness of The Cardinal
perhaps more than Mr.. Keene does, and, on
the other hand, in the more forceful parts
lacked the strength that Mr.. Keene dis
plays Both were well balanced produc.
tions, each on scale suitable to the physi-
cal and vocal equipments of the tragedian
who had it in hand.
Of the support last night not great deal
is to be said Miss Alberta Gallatin es-
sayed the role of Julie very successfully
She adds to a voice of great compass and
strength rare personal charms, and the
character was portrayed in manner that
warrants an interesting future Baradas
was very acceptably interpreted by Mr.
Frank Hennig. 1t is difficult to paint the
villain on so handsome face as his, but he
acted it we'll. Dr.. Mduprdt was in the hands
OF Mr.. Walter Matthews, very clever
actor with a particularly pleasing voice.
Mr.. Lawrence Lowell made a good Francois
but some of the other parts, notably that
of the king, were in the hands of indiffer-
ent actors.

FUN AT THE BIJ0U.
Kate Castleton in The DazzIer Makes 3
Big Hit.

Big Hit.
Kate Castleton is here again. This time
in a new. play, 'The Dazzler." '.Bennie
Kate" is as kittenish and winsome as ever,
but her voice is not in as good trim as here
tofore This may have been due to the
rather bad weather of yesterday. Of course,
she sung ''For Goodness Sake Don't Say
Told YOU and "The Spider and the
Fly" and, as usual, filled the house
with enthusiasm. Regarding her play.
s'The Dazzler," it has one very happy at
tribute. The auditor can come in at any
time during its progress and be right up
with the procession. The plot starts out
with. good intentions, but lands no.
where, or to express it in another
way, the plot thickens into special
ties. The person who would endeavor
would certainly have a large contract.
However, it has long since been demon
strated that a story is not necessary in this
sort of a performance, at least when the
specialties are good, and in this respect
'The Dazzler" company Is quite good.
Jos. A OFT made tremendous hit, and fol-
lowing close behind in the popular favor
were Max Miller, Phil Mcfarland, Sher-
man Wade, Lana Merville, Jessa Hatcher
and the others of the large company. The
Bijou might have accommodated tew
more persons, but it would have had to be
enlarged first. The house was simply
packed, and judging from the tumult of
mirth that constantly pervaded it the per-
formance met with high favor.
