The sweetest kiss

When time Is not,

RUSSIANS USED TO 1T.

Little Concern Felt in st. Petersburg
s@ tN About Cholera. M
Sr. PETERsBURa, Aug. 3d. Yester-
days new cases of cholera were 174 in
excess Of those reported Tuesday !; the
deaths we're 1S4 in excess of those re-
ported the same day. Yesterday the
totals for Russia, according to official
figures were 5679 new cases, and 2743
deathe.
The disease is spreading in this city,
but the people now show little concern
about 1t. Though the new cases re-
ported here are large in number, the
death rate is smaller. The doctors say
that the disease is less virulent In its
character, and that in addition tot this the
number Of deaths has been leseened by
better arrangements for its treatment.
When the disease first became epidemic,
/ the physicians IN this city were greatly
overworked, but now a number of doc
tors from other places ara serving in the
hospitals, and much closer attention. can
be given to the sufferers. The number
Of hospital attendants has also been
largely increased. There has been no
relaxation Of the strict sanitary regula-
tions, and any violation meets with
prompt punishment.
/ 1t is believed custom, which prevails
among the poorer classes, many of whom
during the summer leave the city and
live in the suburbs of St. Petersburg,
has done much to prevent the mortality
in the city from being greater. As yet.
these places have been little affected
with, the disease. Other cities are look
ing forward anxiously to the beginning
of cold weather, when the germs of the
disease will become harmless.
One reason why the people of st. Pc
ter6burg have not been more severely
stricken with the disease, is the cleanly
nature of the city. During the present
epidenfc the death rate has been far
more numerous than usual, but with
the disease ever present during the
short but hot summers (for Asiatic
cholera regularly visits st. Petersburg,
taking off an average of 100 annually,
the people have in measure lost their
fear of it.
Advices received from Astrakhan, on
the Volga, show that the cholera which
has been decimating the population of
that city, has lost its epidemic charac-
ter.

Escapes Lynching-A Similar
Cass Unearthed.

SAN DmGo. Aug. 25.--William Steck-
EN-, aged So years, was brought to this
city from National City thisevening, ON
the charge of tampering with little
girl. 1t had been noticed that many
school girls had been calling at his.
shanty, little one-roomed house, and
suspicion was consequently aroused.
The father Of one of the little girla. up-i
on questioning her about her visits to
the house. gathered information
of revolving character. An in
vestigation was prosecuted quietly,
and the officers detailed for that plir-
pose have secured absolute proof OF the
depravity practiced by Steckem. Not
less than twenty-five girls have been
frequenting the house, and all are lees
than ten years CT age. With six, at
least, OF these children, the fiend is
known to have bad criminal relations,
and bis indecent treatment of all ~ now
admitted by the children.
A high state of excitement prevails at
National City on account of the affairs
which have been disclosed. Steckem
had become alarmed, and sought SAFETY
in fight, but he was oyerhauled near
the Sweetwater dam and taken directly
to this city, through National City, as
he would undoubtedly have been
lynched in that city before morning.
A similar case has also been un-
earthed at the same place. The man
has fed, but officers are on his track in
this city, where he is supposed to be se-
creted.

HAMBURG, Aug. 25.-Tbe weather con
tinues intensely hot, and the sun is un-
fortunately favorable to the growth Of
cholera germs. There is, however,
more wind prevailing today, and this
adds something to the comfort Of the
city. Yesterday there were eighty-two
new cases Of the disease reported, and
the deaths amounted to'forty-one.
Considerable excitement has been
caused by the appearance of. cholera
among the troops. Three cases Of the
disease and one death occurred in q
regiment temporarily quartered here.
The regiment will remain until all
risk Of their spreading the disease ia
passed.
The papers here which have been ac-
cused Of greatly exaggerating the situa-
tion, turn on the authorities today and
attack them for persistently denying the
presence in Hamburg of Asiatic cholera
until the violence OF the outbreak made
concealment no longer possible. They
claim if the authorities had admitted at
the start that the disease was true
cholera, sanitary measures might have
been enforced that would have prevent
ed the spread of the disease to the ex-
tent it has now reached.
