THE EXCHANGE AND BALLARD.

The vast crowd expected here from the
9th to the 10Th of next month, during the
State Exposition, is causing those who
cater TO public wants TO commence pre-
partitions for their entertainment.
The Exchange and Ballard Hotels
await the onslaught with calm mood and
unperturbed mien. Accustomed to ham
die large crowds the managers take it
as n matter Of course. and though prepar-
ing TO take care of great numbers In
these large and commOdiOus hostelrles,
they do not expect to be oyercrowded or
have cause to raise their ordinary rates.
For generations the Exchange and Bal
lard have been the rendezvous OF pollti-
clans and Southern men OF note, while
Northern tourists know of the fame
and love To avail themselves OF the COM
forts of their airy rooms and elegant
table.
The great tide of Northern travel,
which takes a rest here in the fall on its
way South and in the spring ON their
way North. seek the Exchange as being
associated with all the history of Virginia
hospitaliies and elegance OF hying. ana
the fact that they return season after
season is evidence that they arc not dis-
appointed.
Messrs. Darlington and Archer spare
neither pains nor expense in providing
everything that will contribute 10 tho
pleasure of their guests, and are model
Virginia hosts. These hotels are conyen-
iently situated. being only IL short dis
lance frCm the business portion, but far
enough away to be quiet and home like.
The electric line, which runs between
their front doors connects with many
miles of similar lines conveying passen-
gers at one fare to every point OF interest
in and around the city.
The Ballard and Exchange are conncc-
ted by q covered suspension bridge. form
ing handsome hallway and poine of
observation, aud practically makes them

AMONG BLOOMS AND BLOSSOMS.

The greatest attraction in the pretty

of Protection in general and OF the Mckinley

that Republicans, as the champions OF Pro-

In view Of these considerations, it is but

In England farming interests have been man

farming was ruined by the repeal OF the Corn

industries like hop raising in Sussex and the
southern counties were also left 10 perish from
the dry rot of Free Trade. While the main
crops were heavily Disseminated against in
the general interest Of the manufacturing and
trading classes, no minor industries were sub

sugar was developed under Government boun-
ties and a system Of technical education into
an agricultural industry Of commanding impor-
tanco, which supplies Europe and exports 10

that kind was done for English farmers. Their
interests have been Systematically neglected

THE CHOLERA SITUATION.

The cholera situation is not disheartenlng, IN
spiic of the fact that several new cases ana
two deaths occurred yesterday on the Vessels
and islands in the Lower Bay, three cases. one
fatal being recorded among the crew OF the
Normannia. Health Officer Jenkins and his as
sistants are much encouraged by the results
thus far accomplished, and believe that 'he
only danger TO be dreaded is from vessels now
ON the ocean which may bring more OF the DIS
ease 10 our doors Ii is a good sign, too, that
DR.. Jenkins now recognizes the wisdom OF Pres
,dcnt JIarrison's prudent and timely action in
ordering a twenty days quarantine OF all yes
sells carving immigrants. As we have SAID re-
pcatedy there is no reason for pane among
the people of the United states on account OF
cholera. Thus far the Quarantine authorities
have the matter well in hand, and National
State and municipal officials generally seem to
realize their duty and responsibility aS they
should. and are taking needed precautions to
insure safety
As far as New-York is concerned, it is n
great satisfaction to announce, upon the au-
thoritv of a bulletin issued yesterday by the
President Of the Health Department. that :he
CITY is now more nearly exempt from contagious
diseases than at any time in several years and
that the deah-ratc last week was lower than
in any week since November, 1891. The Board
Of Health has issued careful directions regard
ing disinfcction in cholera cases. which should
receive general attention. Street-Cleaning
Commissioner Brennan has been aroused Ia the
importance Of cleaning the streets with extra
care and Of flushing those which are in the
worst condition The city police are lending a
hand 10 the Quarantine officials. and patrolling
the Lower Bay in order TO keep any one from
approaching or leaving tho detained vessels.
In general. everything is being done TO protect
the people from the dreaded infection and the
people are only called upon TO use care in eat
ing, working and exercising, and TO refrain
from anything tending to produce alarm among
themselves on their neighborS.
