but it is well for everybody to give as lit
tie thought To the disease as possible.
This Is good policy not only from purely
medical standpoint OF cause and effect.
but also because there is really little rea
son to apprehend a serious epidemic this
year. ~ number of sporadic cases OF in
huepza have appeared, IL is true but they
are common to this -eason aud must be ex-
pected. Providence, owing TO exceptional
location, has hithert, escaped the more
disastrous visits from the deadly scourge
and IL Is safe To assume from past expe-
rence and present Indications that no
calamity need be expected from that
source this year. Still, while there is no
undue occasion to fear it is well for
young and old TO take such precautions
rs will afford them reasonable assur-
ance against the attacks of the disease
More or less juvenile cases have been re-
ported to he physicians of the city dur
ing the past we k but few of them are of
a malignant type. DIR. Moves reports
several cases in hand to-day. but few of
them are really serious.
The disease has taken in many cases
the form of tonsilitis; in others it is
harsh hacking cough, accompanied by
mucous discharges.
The disease resembles whooping- cough
in many of It's phases. A steady month
of cold weather would wipe out the worst
features of the disease. The weather OF
to-day, il may fairly be said will, if con-
tinued work desired change in the pre-
sent conditions.
The physicians in general throughout
town express themselves as sanguine
that general epidemic need not be au-
ticipated.

well done or for what he is SO well
fitted to do In the future, it must be
admitted that the main credit for this
battle for the people is due to Gov
ernor Albeit. His is the initiative
force, his the animating courage and
conviction. Attorney General Stock
ton is most admirably fitted to con-
duct the legal proceedings, to give
form and shape to the procedure, to
marshall law and precedent in sup
port of the States position. But the
fight is Abbett's fight. He conceived
it.; he gave it its impetus; and his
vigorous and determined personality,
we have no doubt, will strengthen
and accelerate it at every stage. In
discussing the relations of this combi-
nation to the public, we have repeat
edly said that the interests of the peo-
pie were safe in the Governors hands.
The crusade just begun shows that
we were in no degree mistaken.

ScrIDner MaEaZlne iOr Ouue.
Scri6ne7's Magazine for June con
tinues the series on 1.-The Poor in
Great Cities" (Which is attracting the
widest attention., with an article on
Life in New York Tenement
Houses, as Seen by a City Mission
ary," by the Rev. William Il. Elsing,
who for nine years has worked in the
tenement house district in close asso =
citation with all phases of that life. AS
minister of the De Witt Memorial
Church. he has commanded the trust
and affection of a great body Of people
of many nationalities. Mr.. Elsing's
article. aims to represent the average
of life in the tenement houses, and
does not give o false impression by ac-
cumulating all the startling incidents
which have come under his eye in
the past nine years. The bright and
wholesome side of the life is
represented with the dark-the
home life which is made possible even
in the dingiest quarters by the simple
virtues of sobriety and economy, the
poor helping themselves and those
who are poorer, and the gradual i'm
provement which we'll organized effort
is making in many directions. With
all this the picture is sad enough, and
the great value of Mr.. Elsing's paper
consists in the definite suggestions
which he makes fol further work
suggestions which a be applied as
they stand by many charitable soci-
cites. In every case they are the fruit
of experience. The illustrations have
been drawn by the skilful artist,
Charles Broughton, who represents
what he has actually seen.
Closely connected with this series is
a wonderfully sympathetic account of
1.-The Drury Lane Boys Club" Lon
don, by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur-
nett, who has not contributed to any
magazine for several years. The re-
markable thing about this club is that
it originated in the mind of a poor
boy himself, who felt the need for
such an organization, and who called
around him a handful of similarly
minded poor boys who met for q time
in his mothers cellar, because, as he
expressed it, "if two or three of us
stopped a bit to talk OF the street the
policeman came and told us to move
on" BY the aid of a young man and
woman this club had grown to be
more prosperous. though when it
came to Mrs. Burnett's attention it
was still in very modest quarters.
In memory of her own son Lionel, who
| died not long ago, she recently pre-
| sented a reading-roOm to the club.
| Her account of the origin and growth
of the club, and the opening of the
new reading-room has all those quail
titles of sympathy and appreciation
with child-life which have made her
stories among the most popular in
the language.
