TO KEEP OUT The CHOLERA.
CONGRESS DISCUSSING PLANS FOR
HEADING OFF THE PLAGUE

Suspension OF immigration One OF the
Plans Proposed-Our National Quar-
sntine system and How IL IL Com
ducted-The Marine Hospital Service.
Will the cholera invade the United
States this year, to decimate our popuia-
tion and play havoc with the worlds
fairf Can it be kept out altogether, or
will IL be allowed to get foothold ana
exceed the distre king experiences oil last
summer? What safeguard can be pro-
vided, and what means Will be the most
effectivef
These are the questions uppermost In
the public mind, and the problems our
national legislators are now wrestling
with. Numberless plans are suggested
in numerous forms, involving by legisia-
tion a partial suspension of foreign inn
migration for season, a total suspension
for a year, reorganization OF the present
quarantine service, and lastly, the crea-
tion OF an entirely new federal organiza-
tion in the shape of a national board OF
health to supersede the present federal
and the local quarantines.
Senator Chandler proposes, with the
appreciation Of most OF our sanitary ex-
perts,a q measure by which all foreign
immigration shall be stopped for year
from March / next. Surgeon General
Wyman, OF the marine hospital service,
recommends, in connection with ampli-
fed quarantine regulations, similar
suspen sion of immigration for at least
year from January 1. Congressman
Stump, OF Maryland, has introduced
bill in the house requiring the establish
ment of a foreign quarantine after March
/ and rigid supervision OF immigrants
landing here, with authority conferred
on the President to prohibit altogether,
for a time, the immigration OF aliens OF
certain classes and from certain foreign
ports. Congressman Rayncr, OF the same
State, has introduced another bill! to re-
habilitats the now defunct national
board Of health and create medical
council Of seven members and host OF
officers to take the place OF the present
mar inc hospital service quarantine. Con-
gresham Brosius, of Pennsylvania, has
introduced still another measure, to en-
large the existing system operated by
the marine hospital service by adding
new federal quarantine stations at Port
land, Boston, New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, besides q suspension OF
foreign immig ration for year.
Various other measures of like purpose
are suggested, and it will be strange in
deed IL, out of the abundance of ideas Of
fered and experience brought to bear,
some adequate and thorough system is
not evolved speedily for the protection OF
the nation from the dreaded scourge.
The British government has determined
to appoint a cholera survey with a view
to preparing for the impending epidemic.

NEW ISSUE OF POSTAGE STAMPS.

Handsome Little Souvenirs of the Col-
umbisn Year.

some months ago from the Post Office
Department, the four hundredth ami
versary OF the discovery of America by

81, s2, So, a and IS. The stamps are
beautifully engraved, in size somewhat
larger than the ones we have been accus-
toned to using, and each one bears q
different design illustrative of the dis
covery Of America.
Postmaster General Wanamaker ssys
that these new little slips of paper, which
have been styled jubilee stamps, will be
continued only during the year 1893.
They are not meant to displace the pres
ent issue and both series will be sold from
the same post Office window.
The designs on this new series are
these-One cent, columbus in Sight OF
Land" after the painting by W. II.

A Little Girl's Piece.

My brother Will he used to be
The incest kind Of girl;
He wore little dress like me,
And had his hair in curl.
We played with dolls and tea set then,
And every kind OF toy,
But all those good old times are gone
Will turned into boy.
Mamma has made him little suits,
With pockets in the pants,
And cut off all his yellow curls
And sent them to my aunts;
And Will, he was SO pleased, b'lieve
He almost jumped for Joy.
But must own didn't like
Will turned into boy.
And now he plays with horrid tops
don't know how to spin,
And marbles that try to shoot,
But never hi. nor win;
And leap frog-I can't give back"
Like Charley, Frank or Roy;
Oh, no one knows how bad feel
Since Will have turned a boyl
have to wear frocks just the same,
And now they're mostly white;
/ have to sit and just be good,
While Will can climb and fS<ht.
But must keep my dresses nice
And wear my hair in curl;
And worst-oh, worstest thing Of ALI
i have TO stay girl.

Thomas Sulzer, his father, was Ger
man patriot-a comrade of Sigel and Carl
Schurx. He was a strong advocate OF
constitutional liberty. At the age OF
eighteen, while yet scholar in the Uni
versity at Heidelberg, he joined the
patriots in the revolution, and was
among the first to try and secure freedom
for his country. After being captured
and imprisoned, he escaped to Switzer-
land. He came to New York In 1851,
married there and soon became stanch
Democrat.
William Sulzer was recognized as for
chile speaker before he attained his ma
iority. AS q member of the Cooper
Union Debating Society he won a medal
in a discussion as to what was done for
constitutional government by the Revo-
lutionary heroes. Like his father he has
always been firm Democrat and has al
ways been ready to give reason for his
faith in the party.
A prominent member of the Assem- bly,,
in speaking of him recently, said: ain
intellect he is as rugged as he is In body.
He has a compact fiow Of words and ex-
presses his ideas fuently, but not re-
dundantly. There was no better man in
debate in the last Assembly. He is
met thod icai, quick witted and energetic.
He has vim, patience and judgment. No
one questions either his ability or his in
tegrity. His record as q legislator is
without stain" ~As
Having long been identified with poll
tics and being a Democrat through and
through, 1t was natural that he should be
selected by the National Committee to
speak in Connecticut, New Jersey and New
York in the Presidential campaigns OF
1884. 1888 and 1892. He was sent to the
Assembly from the Fourteenth District
in 1889, and he at once took front rank
in debate. He has been reelected every
year since by increased majorities.

illustrations says that Henry w. Of
France always insisted upon being called
"papa" by his children, as he did not
wish them TO address him by the titles OF
"sire" and majesty" according to the
ceremonial adopted at foreign courts.
He was in the habit OF taking part in the
childish amusements OF his little ones.
One day as he was going around room
on all fours with the pauphin, his FIRST
born, on his back, an ambassador unex-
