The following extract from letter written
by Henry Hinman (whose confinement in the
hospital with yellow fever was mentioned last
week) to his parents, will be of interest to his
many Ravenna friends:
HAVANA, CUBA, Aug. 21st.
l am now out of the hospital, though still
very weak. The doctors tell me that l am ac-
climated, and need have no more fear of yellow
fever. They gave me certificate stating the
fact that l have had the disease, and this may
be of use to me at some future time.
During my illness, ten foreigners, nearly al
of whom knew, died of this terrible fever.
cannot eat any fruit. yet, and must say
do not care much for the tropical fruits. excep
oranges. which we have only in the Winter.
They say every kind of fruit in the world cal
be raised here, but doubt the statement, as al
strawberries, peaches, apples and pears are i'm
ported, and so are watermelons, which sell a
: $3.50 apiece. l had heard SO much in praise c
the mango, a fruit the shape of large fat peal
that tasted one, and found it very disagrees
: bic. Since that, have not cared to try othe
fruits which look very nice.
Pineapples can be bought for ten cents, an
are very juicy and fresh for those who like then
f Many buy cocoanuts for the milk, which the
n drink.
J. 1t is novel sight to see the pack-horses CON
l. ing in early in the morning, laden with fruit IL
the markets. There may be train of eight
IS ten horses. each laden with heavy packs, IL
- head of each horse tied to the tail of the one
~ front, and all under charge of one man.
}. No wagons are used here, but carts drawn
s. mules or oxen. Some of the OK carts are mo
srous, and carry very heavy loads, the OK
n drawing their carts by the horns or heads, al
ne not by yokes on the necks, as at home.
The Cubans are very indignant in regard
ha the increase of taxes which Spain has impos
be upon them, and showed their disapproval,
n closing all places of business on the day the n
law took effect.

council Proceedings.

Council met in regular session Monday night.
All the members were precent save Mr.. Merits.
The Water Works report for August showed
a balance on August of SIo37. So. Disburse-
ments, SoI6.22. Balance on hand, $I2I.3I.
The report was laid over to the October session,
to investigate certain charges made in the state
ment.
The pay ordinance, including bill of Se4 90
in favor of Solicitor o. P. Sperra, for services
relating to the park fund, was passed under a
suspension of the rules. The ordinance also
included the payment of $1.a7e.69 interest on
the water works bonds.
The Mayor then read petition praying for
an extension of the water mains commencing
at the intersection of Mill and King streets to
and along Madison street." The portion of
town included in the route is entirely without
fire protection, and of course the people there
have right to demand it. Action was taken
in this same matter, however, some time ago, by
ordering a special tax levy for this express pur-
pose, and those CT the petitioners present Mon
day night were so informed, and further prom
ised that as soon as the levy was realized upon,
the extension would be made. The estimated
cost is about $500.
The usual fire department report was read,
showing one fire and one false alar for August
1t was ascertained that the committee ap-
pointed some months ago to audit the water
works books, have never done so, " but will do
so directly
An ordinance for Furnishing disorderly con-
duct in the parks and other public places in
ayenna. was passed, and an order given c
H. Laubert and J. B. Shewell for two corpora
ton maps at S2.so.
The Street Commissioner was instructed to
remove the tile purchased for the Durham block
alley to Bunker Hill," for safe keeping unit
| wanted.
Talk on the stone sidewalk ordinance was
participated in by the councilmen present. Some
talked one thing; and some another, until finally
all agreed that an ordinance should be drawr
up providing for stone walks not less than five
feet in width, in certain portions of the town
and an adjournment had until the following
night, at which time Council again met anc
passed it. 1t provides for stone walks on Chest
nut street between the P. & w. and Erie rail
roads, on Cleveland Avenue from the intersec
ton of Bowery and Sycamore to Lincoln Ave.
on Main street from the east to the west corpo
ration lines, and on the streets, alleys, avenue
and lanes comprised within the following boun
daries Bowery on the north, Walnut on tn
east, VanBuren on the south, and Sycamore o.
the west. Outside of these limits the provision
of the former ordinance aDnly
The ordinance does not take effect for tie
days after publication, in view of which Counc
adjourned to Tuesday evening. Sept. aoth,
7:3o O'clock when the sidew ak needs of Il
| village will be taken up for disposal.

The continued presence of cholera in many
European cities. and now even in oar ports, is
cause for anxiety to the people of our country.
The State Board of II ealth urges upoU all local
boards of health. committees and individuals
the duty of taking such precautionary meas
ures as will tend to prevent the introduction
and spread of cholera in our State While
great precautionary measures arebeing taken
to prevent this. the only safe plan for each COM
munity is to make such preparations in adyan ce
as will make the spread OF the disease impossi-
BILE should it gain entrance to our midst. The
most certain and effective means to prevent the
spread of cholera. and to prevent its gaining
foothold. is perfect sanitary cleanliness,
Cholera is essentially filthy disease, de-
pendent upon polluted water supply, and un-
sanitary Surroundings. 1t is too late to remove
filth and attempt to remedy this evil after the
cholera has gained lodgment, as this general
stirring up of filthy places attendant upon their
removal. only serves to increase the danger
The only safety lies in flight under these cir
Gums tances
A clean city has little to fear from this dis
ease. The germs of cholera do not flourish in
pure air, pure water and clean soil, Hence the
necessity for immediate action in this direction,
| and even if this dread disease should not come
near us. our city will be repaid hundred fold
| by the saving of lives from other filthy dis.
eases. ss typhoid fever and diphtheria.
The responsibility for prompt and efficient
action rests not alone upon the Board of Heal tt
The public must aid and o-operate or the
Board can do but CO omparatively little.
Each property owner and tenant should care
fully inspect his premises; garbage, offensive
matter of all kinds should be removed, privies
sinks drains and cellars should be cleaned anC
disinfected with solution of copperas or othel
disinfectants. Damp cellars should be made
f dry by drainage and whItewash used liberally y
Careful attention should be given to Ewell
where in use, and all Impurities and floating
matter removed
These things should be attended to. and A
, ONCE. All possible assistance will be rendere
by the health officers, Complaints will be give
attention and the abatement sof nuisances en-
forced, where they may exist. The Street Com
: missioner will do all in his power to assist
, securing the best possible street drainage. an
/. considering that our city has not perfect syi
II tenn of sewerage. care should be given to tt
waste water found in the bitches,
While we can but briefly dwell on these nee
ID essary requirements for the safety of our cit
l. any desired information will be given by a.
is plying to the members of the Board. A COZ
@ of the requirements of the Board of Heal
should be in every family for perusal. as thu
l. will be enforced.

Smuggling on the border is quite
prevalent, and the Customs House off.
GERS Of this port have been on the seen,
of a gigantic smuggling scheme for
some time, which they unearthed few
days ago. 1t has been known to the
government detectives that whisky IN
large quantities has been smuggied into
this port from Kingston, and that the
government was being swindIed out of
thousands of dollars. The sleuth
hounds of the government, after weeks
Of unremitted toll and hardship. finally
located large shipment that was con-
signed to one Of our most respected
citizens, and a government official.
They formed themselves into hollow
square, and swooped down on the
Northern Pacific depot After a hard
struggle they succeeded IN overpower-
ing the agent, Mr.. T. Joy, whom they
bound and gagged. After a dilligent
search Of some hours they finally found
the contraband goods, which they
seized and conveyed to their Office for
inspection. After the usual amount of
red tape exercise, the conclusion was
arrived at, that the only way to deter,
mine the valne of the article, was BY
testing. A cork screw was produced,
which was handled by the chief officer
with the dexterity of an old veteran. the
cork being extracted they proceeded to
do the sampling act With eyes aglow
