The fumigation of the mails of the cholera
infected ship Normannia at the New York
quarantine station does not appear to have
been OF kind to allay all suspicion with
regard TO them. When received at the post
Office in New York the seals of the mail
sacks were unoroken, and the sacks them
selves were perfectly dry. The postoffice
employees were in futtsr Of nervous Appre-
hension with regard to them, and would not
have handled them had they not received
positive orders to do SO from the postoffics
authorities in Washington. IL would be
strange, indeed. IL all the work at the quar-
antine station were OF the most thorough
kind

On a Boston Maid.
From, the Boston Globe.


Her name was Ethel Perkins,
Not minerva Beacoustre5t;"
She was plump and pink and dimpled,
And frivolous and sweet;
No cleaning, gold-rimmed glasses
Bestrode her pretty nose.
And her fluffy golden hair was banged,
And Redfern made her clothes.
talked of Holmes and Schiller,
Whom she didn't seem to know,
l spoke of Robert Browning
And his tangled verbal flow;
mention d Buddha. Aeine, Keats,
In a careless sort Of way,
And she listened most politely.
But murmured, "Who are they?"
/ bought seats for an Ibsen matinee,
She frowned-"O. what a shame
Why didn't you get tickets
For the Yale and Harvard gamer"
l took her out to lunch one day,
And ordered beans for two;
She turned her little noss Noft
And asked for oyster stew.
Alas! Alas Ny Boston maid,
The ideal Of your kind
You've shattered, and my hapless heart
Is broken COO, find.
Beware. then, sweet Atheniau girl,
For damages I'll sue,
And should gain my precious suit,
The award ask is--you!

a weekly paper published in New York
city has some timely remarks relative to
service rendered by the New York militia
during the recent strike of the switchmeu Of
o number Of railroads at Buffalo. "What-
ever may be said pro or con" says that pa.
per, "the case Of the railroads versus the
striking switchmen at Buffalo, there is but
one thing TO be said of the national guards,
men, and that is that they were at hand.
In fact. considering that this is vacation
time and that large part of the guard
were hohda Y-making all over the country,
the promptitude with which they got to-
gether was more than commendable. This
community does not properly appreciate
the guards, aud the state treats them in q
srep-motherly fashion. No people 10 the
community give so much gratuitous service
to the body politic as do these same guards
meu. Practically they serve the state
at their own expense. for the state allow
ance of about SIS per capita per an
mum is nothing, and the men, who are
mostly workers, are compelled TO continu-
allv put their hands into their pockets for
all sorts of purposes. This should be
amended, for as we have no state police and
as the posse comitGtus is worthless, the ma
tional guard is the only support Of the law
and should be regarded and taken case of.
Accordingly It should be supplied with the
best armories, weapons, uniforms and gen.
eral equipage obtainable, aud the state
should pay the bill. 1t is hard enough to
give time and toll, and perhaps, as viii
happen 30 some at least OF the men who
to Buffalo, lose a situation, with,
out adding a money gift to the service"
The legislature OF this state should note
carefully how important a part the militia
played in the labor troubles at Homestead
and Buffalo. Having done that it will not
be inclined to deal with the militia Of the
state in an illibeFal manner,

The origin of the cholera at Hamburg has
been traced to Russian immigrant camp
from one Of the huts of which some dirty
water got into the river Elbe near the Ham
burg water works. From this it would ap-
pear that the water supply Of Hamburg has
been poisoned. 1t would be well for every
city In the country to see that it has supply
of pure water.

During the next few days the attention of
the country will be divided between New
York and New Orleans. New York has
the cholera at her quarantine station aud
New Orleans has Sullivan and Corbett In
her athletic club house. Both Sullivan and
Corbett attracted as much attention at the
towns at which they stopped on their way
to New Orleans as a circus.

United States Senator Mcpherson, of
New Jersey, who was a passenger on the
cholera infected ship Normannia, wrote
rather pitiful letter to the New York World
in favor of letting the passengers Of the
ship land. 1t was reported that he had been
permitted to leave the ship, but the report
has been denied. If the senator should be
granted privilege denied to other passen-
gers there would be good ground for the re-
moval of Health Officer Jenkins.

The Convict Trouble in Tennessee.
1t begins TO look as If there would have
to be good deal Of fighting in Tennessee
before the question Of whether the convicts
Of that state shall be permitted Co work In

state legislature doesn't appear equal TO the

or more ago. Immediately after the first

1t is true the free miners are violators of
the law, and great many of them have been
arrested and given bond for their appear
ance at court to answer charges that have
been preferred against them, bat they do
not seem to care for that. They have made
up their minds, apparently, that the con-

strong force of the militia. And even the
militia does not seem to alarm them
greatly.
The question which the state has to settle

sooner or later. 1t has been satisfactorily

will not settle it. II Gov. Buchanan had
been firm and vigorous in the enforcement
of the law when the first trouble in the
mines occurred much Of the subsequent
trouble. for the time being at least, might
have been avoided. 1t is apparent now,
however, that the situation is such that be-
fore settlement can be reached a remedy

DIR. Hamilton, when be was surgeon gem
eral of the marine hospital service, said
there was more danger Of tho Introduction
of cholera into this country by way of Cam
ada than through the port of New York or
any other port Of this country. It seems
that the treasury department officials agree
with him. A system OF inspection has been
established along the Canadian border The
city Of Detroit has quarantined against
Canada and it is probable that other north.
western towns will follow Detroit's example.
No doubt the republican stumpspeak-
ers viii assert that Mining Expert Dixie,
who recently reached San Francisco
from the Temescal tin mines, is tn
competent, or has been paid 70 say
that the mines contain little or no
tin. As a matter of fact, he is one of the
most reliable mining experts in the country,
and when he says the mines are far from
being on a paying basis and that the grade Of
ore is low and getting lower oil the time, it
is safe to assume he is be telling the truth.
The supporters Of the Mckinley tariff are
not likely to get much to encourage
them out Of the Temescal mines. In the
meantime the people who purchase tin arti-
cles are compelled to pay an xorbitant price
ior them.

plowed its way through the most impor-

ing big brick houses as if they had been
made Of paper
The City Trustees last night appointed
seven special policemen to patrol the city
and guard against further outbreaks, and a
fire-eDgine kept up steam most of the night.
The amount of loss will reach fully quar-
ter OF million dollars. The people are dis
posed to take hopeful view of the case
this morning. Large owners who were
burned out express their intention of imme-
sdiately rebuilding with better buildings
than before.
Ten residences in the southern part OF the
city were burned. These will be at once
rebuilt.
The community Is saddened by the death
of w. w. Porter, who was killed by the
falling Of wall while trying to get prop
erty from the ODera-house.
The fire department was much ham
pered by an insufficient water supply,
caused by the smallness of the water
mains.
The fire is likely to lead to radical i'm
provements In the system OF The city water

Many small losses are being reported in
addition to those already noted and the

Disaster.
SAN JOSE. July 2.-The greatest fire in
years broke out on First and San Fernando
streets early this evening. The Ryland
block, in which the Lick House. is located,
was totally destroyed and also the South
Methodist Church, the California Theater
and Mckee's large palntstore. The fire is
said TO have started from fireworks. 1t soon
got beyond control and the San Francisco
department was sent for TO give aid in
quenchng the flames. The horses from the
Lick stables had TO be taken out blindfolded.
AT o'clock the fire was still raging,
seemingly defyipg all effort at control.
Fiest's large dry-goods store on First street
was totally destroyed at that hour, and ex-
press wagons and coaches were being
brought into requsitioD TO carry off the
merchandise saved. Crowds were also
carrying out stocks of goods from j. Z.
Black & Sons aud w. c. FlinfS dry goods
stores and from c. W. Green's shoesfore.
The firemen were having hard work try
ing to- save Levy Brothers clothing
store and the immense brick Letitla
block adjoining. The Empire Engine Com
pany's fine brick building on Second street
and the California Theater building were
totally destroyed. The loss by fire thus tar
is estimated at $3.50, 900.
1t seemed as though the whole town had
gathered at the scene, the streets in every
direction being black with people.
