Early Rising For Cold Mornings.

Of less exalted peOple-that is, by trade

true that the Duke Of Edinburgh played

six titled DANES in London who are in
the millinery business, and very flour

| as very good, being heavier than last

receipts, however, are rather light this
year. compared with that of two years
ago. This is due, principally, to the
short crop of that staple. The late, ar
rivals of wool number $50 sacks. from
points west on the Southern Pacific. and
principally from COmStock. Uvalde. Eagle

SHOULD THE WIVES OF CABINET
MINISTER'S HAVE CLERKS?

Wasp Waists No Longer Admired-An In

The Crinoline Specter.
An important item of expense not al
lowed for in cabinet salaries is that pro-
viding for private secretaries for the
presidents wife and the ladies of the
cabinet. At first reading the public
would denounce such a proposition as
altogether unnecessary, but to those who
have knowledge of the eXigencies of the
case it will seem not only humane, but
in the higest degree necessary. The du.
ties devolving upon the wives of the Of
ticials named are never ending.
The position of a presidents or cabi-
net minister's wife is by no means a sine
cure. That such unceasing calls upon
the time and social endurance of the
mistress of the White House can prove
too much of a strain for even a strong
woman is attested by the severe tax upon
Mrs. Harrison, whose willing heart and
hands never allowed her, while strength

quest which she could conscientiously
grant.
In addition to the incessant demands
to see the presidents wife, which pour in
with every delivery of White House
mails, there are requests for autographs
and replies to personal letters and notes
that would alone require the time of one
clerk, while the thousand and one extra
things that daily crop up in addition to
the regular official routine would more
than furnish employment to a second
one, yet none is allowed on the bill of
expenses, and the presidents wife who
will have the hardihood to defy public
opinion by demanding even one secre-
tary will not find her pathway strewn
with roses.
In the case of cabinet minister's wife
the duties are almost as heavy, since the
fewer requests for interviews are offset
in the herculean task Of going over the
cards each week, arranging to have her
own sent in return and keeping her ever
increasing visiting list in some semblance
of order With few exceptions the cab
met ladies have private secretaries, but
these have to be paid for out of the pri-
vate purse.-Kate Fields Washington.

THURSDAY, MAY II, 1898
DON'T READ ARoUT CHOLERA.
Sensational Newspaper Reports May
Do More Harm Than the
Disease.

1t is agreed by medical authOri-
ties that the Virulence of an cpl
demiC may be increased by the
element of fear in the public mind,
In this connection DR.. ID. Is. st.
John Rosa, president Of the New
York Academy of Medicine, writ
ing in the Engineering Magazine
on the cholera prospect, says:
During an epidemic of any kind
each individual should endeaVOr,
as indeed he should under any cir
cumstances, to maintain his men
tai equilibrium, in other words, to
keep cool. 1t is very difficult in
our time to accomplish this, for the
simple reason that some of the
daily journals think it their duty
to print sensational headlines,
and sometimes sensational para
graphs, which have very little ac-
tual foundation, but which excite
and terrify the timid, and some
times even the braVe-hearted. The
writer was once in foreign cOun-
try, where an epidemic was preva-
lent. He never knew it was violent
till he read newspapers from his
own country describing it. Such
an effect did they have upon his
friends that he was written to by
several of them, urging him to fly
atOnCe. when, as matter OF fact,
he was in no more danger than he
would have been in his own dwell
inc at home. The cholera was
only prevalent among the vicious,
intemperate, and ignorant classes,
who violated the most ordinary
rules of personal cleanliness, and
vet the news sent from the same
places intimated that every indiVi-
dual even in places entirely free
from cholera was likely soon to be
attacked and swept off the earth.
am not in favor of government
tai censorship of the press, but |
am very earnest in my hope that
the press in our country will be
moderate and judicial in state
ment should cholera ever become
eplutlllc among us. y panic
stricken people become easy vic
tins of disease, even if it be not
the disease then prevalent. Every
individual may not find it easy to
maintain his peace of mind dur
ing cholera epidemic, if the press
continues to think it eXpedient,-
and the authorities allow them-tO
publish highly-colored paragraphs,
is regard to the terrible disease. |
think that it can be properly urged
upon the citizens Of New York and
adjacent cities, should the cholera
appear, that they refrainfrom read
ing about it, unless they are sani-
tary or medical experts, wishing to
learn all they possibly can as to
the progress of the epidemic, and
are able to look upon it in a scien-
tific and COld-blOOded way.
