TIE cHOI ERA SCARE.

NEW YORK. Dec 13-Health Officer Jen-
kins of the port of New York does not be-
lieve in stopping immigration for one
year in order to prevent the introduction
of cholera Speaking of the matter, he
said:
II do not believe the danger from cholera
next wear will BE- so great as it was last
year. We always hear the cry that the
epidemic will come the year following the
first appearancc but we had cholera in the
bay in 1887 and none appeared in 1883, and
the same Is true of other years. IL II does
come we will be better able to take care of
it than we were last August, and we stop
ped it then. Never in the history OF the
country have SO many infected ships been
in port al the same time. We had very
little warning, and yet l claim that not
one case slipped through. The most rigid
inquiry by the New York City officials
failed to trace one OF the supposed cholera
cases in the city TO any of the steamships
which Dassed Modern sanitary science Is
perfectly able to keep out the cholera, and
there is no need of twenty days detention
ordered by President Harrison The order
has not been enforced and 1T would be an
outrage to enforce it. Not one case OF In
lection has occurred from any of the
packages of goods which we have disIntect-
ed, and none of the goods have been
damaged.
What preparations do you propose to
make for next year,"
Il shall ask the legislature to give us an
appropriation as soon as 1t meets, ana
then Shall take Immediate steps to make
our facilities adequate for any emergen-
cv which may arise We shall tear out
two of the wards on Swiuburne lstand and
erect a pavilion or hotel for the accom-
mediation of patients. We will also build
a hospital ship with rooms for 400 cabin
passengers and every facility for caring
for the sick We will put IN new steam
disinfecting plant. and then we VIII be
ready. We will retain Fire island !or the
present, but do not believe in the efficacy
of the quarantine except by island or by
ship. A station on the mainland or near
it is a menace TO the vicinity andsl6 is
almost impossible TO prevent the escape o!
patients"
'If immigration is not stopped, what
restrictions should be enfOrcedr'
Efficient consuls should be appolntec,
and they should be instructed to withhold
papers from all vessels whose passengers
have not been detained "A proper length o.
time at the port of sailing, and who have
not been inspected by proper medical eN
pertS. | would have medical men appoint
ed as consuis at all points where there !:
heavy emigration. The steamship com
panies would prefer detention on the
ether side TO detention of both ship anc
cargo here. Proper precautions make the
introduction of cholera impossible

THIEVES AT q FUNERAL,

ST LOUIS. Dec. 13.-John, alias James,
Foley and John, alias Buck" Stewart,
alias Charles Deverge, two notorious
crooks from Chicago. narrowly escaped
lynching at the hands Of an infuriated
mob yesterday afternoon. The two men
went to the residence Oe John 3. Burge-
mann, where a funeral was in progress.
While the minister was performing the
last sacred rites Foley and Deverge moved
among the occupants, picking every pocket
they could. Detectives saw them at work
and placed them under arrest. The arrest
transformed the male mourners into an
ugly mob. Cries of Lynch themW arose
from every side. Every man made rush
for them One man grabbed Foley by the
throat and would have strangled him to
death had not the detectives drawn their
revolvers and satisfied the crowd that they
would use them. With much difficulty
the mob was quieted down, and allowed
the prisoners to be taken TO the Second
district station. The funeral services were
then continued.

THE ZOO" IN WINTER TIME.
How Some of the Animals Care for Them
selves.

selves.
Some of the animals take care OF
themselves at the approach of the win
ter. The badgers dig frantically in the
earth, throwing up perfect fountain
of sand behind them until they have
long burrows, to which they retire on
cold or stormy days; but every CLEAN
of sunshine woos them to the surface,
and they run up and down the cage
begging for peanuts, as in summer.
One of them has a cunning trick that
he taught himself; on reaching the end
of the cage he turns a half sOrnerSault,
rolls to one side and rises faced right
for the return trip. This rarely fails to
win a reward from the admiring visi-
tor.
The beavers go to sleep in their huts
under the water, and the foxes and
prairie-dogs dig their burrows deeper
and retire from the upper world, al
though, like the badger, they reappear
on sunny days.
One sees some Of the animals TO 4
better advantage in winter than in
summer; the moose and the reindeer
seem more lively. and, think, would
be glad to have it colder than it ever
was in this la titude. The frozen, snow
covered stretches Of Canada and Lap
| lend are more to their liking than the
yards of the Zoo, even on the coldest
days
The reindeer came all the way across
the seas, accompanied by his mate and

! The taste for peanuts seems soon to

enters the gates, except the flesh-eat.ng
animals; and in a short time the rein

New YORK, Dec. l5.-The Tribune says
that il now seems certain that the Amerl-
Fan archnishops and bishops of the Roman
Catholic church do not want Mousignor

oreindice from their minds and TO con.
slider the case in the spirit Of Christ and
under his influence.
Dir Briggs proceeded to consider the
9oints of the prosecuting committee ;
argument. He asserted that the llne OF
prosecution adopted bv them WAS Illegal
and dishonorable The rulings made by
the iudicatory precluded them from the
Inc of argument pursued and showed
,ontempt for the judicatory. Ii the latter
sustain their own ruling, as they must,
chen these charges must be thrown out OF
court.
The defendant argued that no evidence
bad been advanced hv the prosecuting
committee TO sustain charges !, 4, > and .
snd that these charges should be thrown
