The Concert.

The concert given at Duchamp's
hall by the Excelsior brass band
was not the success that was anti
cipated by the members of the
band.
The management was bad from
the beginning to the last; the pro-
gramme was completed only at
the last moment, not giving those
who were to give their assistance
time to prepare. and many of our
musical talents were left behind,
who would have certainly contri-
buted to the success OF the enter
tainment.
The audience WIS not large, but
it was a fair one, and they were
much disappointed to see the pro-
gramme cut short. Mrs. Thos. Z.
Bates and Misses Marie Rose and
Ange Marie Delahoussaye Sang
some sweet songs and executed
some pieces on the piano. This
was certainly well appreciated By
the audience who manifesto heir
appreciation by repeated applause.
After the short concert was over
the younger members of the audi
dience were only too glad to see
the chairs removed from the hall,
and the Breaux Bridge string
band struck a waltz whose capti-
waiting strains brought forth
number of couples who glided
over the floor of the spacious hall
as elegant disciples of the fantas-
tic art. and passed The balance of
the soi-I in the I4orriment and |
pleasures of tae rall.

Cholera Scarcs.
tCity lten.l

During the current year the one
great standing dread of the people
of the United States will be an in
vasion of cholera. Those who are
convinced that the germs of the
disease made lodgment here last
fall when a few cases occurred in
New York are already without
hope of escape from pestilential
invasion. But the mass of right
thinking people in the country
know that the cholera is yet to be
brought here if We are to suffer
the horrors of an epidemic.
Only few days ago kilograms
from the Arkansas penitentiary
suggested the possibility that the
cholera microbe was in that sec
ton of country, and that we were
face to face with a frightful situa-
ton. This possibility has been
removed, but we shall hear more
OF such rumors from time to time.
Undor the existing condition of
affairs the people turn to relief to
an efficient quarantine system aid
ed by restricted or prohibited im-
migration. The Item is not dis
posed to believe in Tie thorough
efficacy of state quarantine laws to
avert the threatened danger. We
fear the diversity of regulations
that must come from boards act
ing .lepe ndently of each other:
we fear the laxity Of administra-
ton TIA. may come from the pres
sure OF great commercial interests
for speedy entrance OF vessels
from ports of danger. Why not
have a national quarantine law
that shall make uniform the recu-
idtions under which entrance to
the country may be effected, and
leave the control of interstate re-
gulations TO local boards? Is such
a plan imprac;icable? If not, why
cannot the advocates and oppo-
nents of national quarantine |
meet on a common ground and !
settle the whole trouble?
But the most important issue is |
the immigration question. Abso-
lutte prohibition of immigration
tor one year till the danger be
past finds many advocates. Sena-
or Chandler's bill provides for
such a drastic course. IF this be
lone the necessity for a national
quarantine is not so pressing, and
he danger is not SO immediate.
But cholera scares" will be the
order of the day for some time to
'ome, and the quarantine and i'm
migration problems will move to
he front as the summer, the
5erm-fructifying season approaches.

The Mystery of Death.
n Supreme Moment of Conscious
ness When the Souls Quits

a supreme Moment of Conscious.
ness When the Souls Quit
the Body.
Il was reading an article this
morning on how it feels to die. -
said DIR. W. Z. Epworth. "Nc
living man can tell how death
ieels or whether the actual act of
dissolution is accompanied by SEN
sation or not. 4 man who through
disease or casualty has lost con-
seriousness has become to all ap-
pearances dead and is then re-
aasciiatc' can really tell us moth
ing about 1t, for he did not die.
The machinery didl5. come to a
complete standstill the life force
did not leave the body. 1t NAV
be that the poet has dipped deep
er than the physician into the aw-
ful mysteries Of death. 1t may be
that he has described terrors not
visible to the eyes Of the medical
man who Interests himself only in
the condition of the animal me-
chanism.
Il have stood by the deathbed
of men who told me they were 60
ing to hell, ard saw them pass
peacefully to their long sleep. 1
have oohed a. .heir dead faces a
few minutes later and saw thereon
COX Of fear, of horror, thai was
lsih!a when the heart gave its
last la Jhrob and men stood
still. ] Lave hG' Diners tell me
al:oos; with the. last breath that
they were going to heaven. They
passed away with wan, weary faces
that were pitiful to contemplate,
bat before they became rigid a
6nio g. eet as an angels dream
oy,.e4 ..2d - pallid features.
The deep lines of suffering faded
out and the aged looked almost
youthful, the weary and worn be-
came radiant. What causes this
change, which every physician has
noticed When does death oc-
cur? We say when the animal
machinery stops, when the breath
and pulse cease.
That is what the doctor calls
death, but it may not really be
death. after all. The spirit may
not leave the body, may not take
is departure from earth with the |
asst breath, the last faint heart |
beat. 1t may cling for some mo-
nents TO its shattered tenement
before it takes flight, before it
aces those terrors or enters those
glories which the
'oet has painted The death of
he body with which doctors only
leal may be but the prelude to
more important act, the departure
# the spirit. Science has gone
ar, but it has not yet lifted the
ell of mystery which the Almi-
,hty has hung over the couch of
cath. st. Louis Glove-Demo-
rat.
