CHOLERA IS BAFFLED.
It Had Existed on the Russia, but
Is Now Stamped Out.
Germs Were Found, but There Are
No New Cases.
Prompt Action at Qunranti
Averted Possible Danger.

QUARANTINE. Oct. II. - Neither
Health Officer jenkins nor any of the
other officials here feels the least alarm
over the discovery OF cholera germs in
the ARCHAEOLOGICAL examination OF the
steamship Russia's passengers yester-
day. They feel fully satisfied that the
discaS" cannot spread, If in fact 1t has
not already been stamped out.
The fact that no additional cases have
been reported strengthens this hope.
Dr. Jenkins had little additional infor-
nation to impart this morning. He had
been up with his assistants the greater
part of the night inspecting the passen.
gers. all OF whom had been transferred
to the islands
Or. Tallmadge started this morning on
n second tou of inspection. The usual
official bulletin was not given out
until he returned this after
noon. Considering their situation the
passengers do very little growing, and
In the main seem anxious to help the
health officers all they can The fumigat-
Ing and bathing processes have been
complete. and all Of them up to the time
the last visit was made seemed remark
ably healthy.
This is the eighth day since the last
case was reported.
pr. Jenkins this afternoon Issued the
following bulletin:
'QtARANTINE. S. l., Oct. II 10. 80
I. M.-An infpection Of all the passen-
gers and crew of the steamer Russia was
made this morning. They are all well.

FIX THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The gloomy prospect at Washington Is
una the attempt to pass the Silver pur-
chase Il peal bill uncouiitionally in the
senate viii be Ia failure. Tho majority
profess to be In favor Of unconditional
repeal. A small minority only is against
repeal. But 1t IL confidently predicted
that the majority Will be defeated by the
minority. and hat unconditional repeal
VIII be beaten.
The duty Of pressing the vote until It's
failure Is positively established and the
causes made manifest becomes all the
more Imperative in consequence OF this
announcement. 1t can fail only through
the treacheiy OF professedly Repeal
Democrats or the factional intrigues Of
Republicans. who. while declaring them
selves in favor OF protecting the country,
are more DESTROYS OF embarrassing the
Administration.
1t is important that the real repealers
should now compel the sham repealers
TO show themselves In their true colors,
that the people may know Just where
to fix the responsibility in the event OF
the final defeat Of unconditional repeal.

REPEATING DAvENPORT1sM.

The House of Representatives Is gain
Ing n good reputation for direct. efcc-
tive and honest work. The Silver Pur-
chasing Repeal bill was passed by the
House after a fair opportunity had been
afforded Its opponents for debate, with
out undue haste. but with unusual
promptness considering the Importance
of the measure and the determined char
acter of the opposition.
Yesterday the House redeemed an
other of the pledges to which It owes
Its large Democratic majority by pass
Ing the bill repeating the Davenport
Federal Election laws. The majority in
favor OF repeal was 80 In a vote of 3Ol.
These laws were designed to erect a
Republican protectorate around the bal
lot box and to form the entering wedge
for military terrorism Mt the polls. They
have fostered corruption in elections in
stead Of checking fraudulent voting, and
have been everywhere partisan In their
enforcement. They have also been made
the means of n petty larceny plumber of
The Government through the fees of gu
pcrvisors and marsh -.
The Election Repeal bill goes to the
Senate, where It will be handled by Sen.
ator Hill. one of It's most determined
advocates. 1t Will not be allowed to In,
t~crferc with the Silver Purchase RepeaI
bill. which Is the most pressing and for
the the most important measure
But 1t Will he pushed through the Senate
at the proper time with both bills the
public Will must prevail In the end.

To-day 1t was said at Sanitary Head

over from Huboken Monday morning and
went to "A hospital to be examined. He
was told to come around later in the
day. He went up to Central Park to
pass away the time.
He took a seat on a bench standing
in a much-frequented path. near the
West Drive. There he sat for Il couple
OF hours calmly reading "A newspaper.

There were many little ones playing near
and nurses wheeling infants III carriages

One fact that New York has got to
appreciate before long is that it mast be
liberal, though always wisely watchful
for results, in it's expenditures on what
has been commonly known as the An
nexed District. The needs OF that part
OF the city are many and growing, In the
way OF good roads, good lights, good
police service and other essentials.
These needs will multiply stlll more
rapidly with the certain prospect OF a
real rapid transit system. Much should
be done to prepare the region above the
Harlem for that time when the term
Annexed District" will no longer ntly
cover 1t: when 1t will be a solid, thickly
populated part and parcel of the Greater

her from facing the camera. The only

Couldn't save the Squirrel.

To the Editor:
While crossing City Hall Park last Friday even
Ing about $50 o'clock. my attention was drawn to
a rather large crowd that had collected. and who
were gazing up a tree opposite the Court OF Gen.
cral Sessions. Upon arriving on the scene l
inquired of a %bystaEdcr what all the excitement
was about. ITS a squirrel up the tree. cir |
was informed. Sure enough. there was the little
fellow high up the tree on one OF the branches.
Meantime. about a dozen street urchins were
trying their skill to bring the little fellow down
with stones and other missiles. while the spec
tators looked on with delight. Not one Of them
irterfcred. The blood in my veins almost ran cold
when | witnessed the cruelty to the poor little
fellow who was tucked ur above us. and who
was skipping from one bouGh to another to avoid
being stoned. Escape seemed almost impossible.
I commanded the boys to stop throwing the
stones. which they did for a moment, only to re-
new their hostility with more yigor after
sneezing at me. Oh! sir, | felt like boxing their
ears. but | was helpless. I looked around for .
Park policeman. but 1t was an unsuccessful task,
as not one was to be found. finally gave It
up. and with a feeling Of sympathy for the poor
squirrel went home. as my heart was too grieved
to return to the tree. where by this time he was.
perhaps. killed. U. S. CONRAD.

Here are a few hints on furnishing a
smoking-room in Indian style. The
walls are the first consideration: these
should first of all be papered with oil
ground paper, red or warm yellow. ac-
cording II the aspect of the room is
light or dark; the paint, IL the red
scheme Is adopted. should be just the
same %tint-real Indian red-but oak
brown paint will look best with the yell
low; very little of 1t will show In any
case. The walls must further be adorn-
ed with both frieze and dado of printed
Indian cotton. and bearing all sorts of
quaint devices. birds. beasts. queer tur-
bancd soldiers ounted on strange
steeds and brlght-hucd flowers filling up
odd corners. The frieze and dado should
be held in place by rails" either of
split bamboo or of wood painted to
match the rest of the woodwork. The
ceiling should be covered with bright
tinted ~phulkaris, stretched tightly over,
and secured Mt the COrnice with n
wooden or bamboo moulding. The little
disks OF shining metal let into these
drapcrics create II capital effect, or a
proper ceiling piece Of printed ndian
cotton may he fixed either In the same
manner. or tent fashion, If the room is
high enough, with n wrought metal

Again the red tape of the Department
of Charities M Correction comes Into
d~isgraceful conspicuity. In the case OF
the boy VINO was shot in an uptown
shop yesterday. It look half an hour of
roundabout t~elephoning to get an ambu-
lance from the Harlem Hospital. The
boy was dead before the hospital sur
geon arrived. He would have died, any
way. But the act remains Just the
same that the telephone rule in regard to
the Harlem Hospital is arbitrary and
unjust, and may be dangerous. 1t should
be changed at once. A means OF direct
and immediate communication with the
hospital is imperatively demanded.

Lip R0nJrrs.

For the lovers Of chatelaine belts n
bags there are pretty little mouth-paint-
ers made of chased gold and silver. and
suspended by a piece of watch-chain.
These trinkets go with powder-boXes.
They are about as long as a match. with
the diameter of a silver dime. The lid
has a spring latch, n the stick Of
rouge-paint fills the box, fitting closely,
but being as easily adjusted as the lead
in a gold pencil. At the touch the cover
flies open, and by drawing the paint
across pale lips they are mad cherry
red without attracting attention. Girls
who carry them make up their mouths
as carelessly as they inhale the aromatic
salts in a smelling-bottle.
