General Mackenzie did the recOnstruc-

at considerable expense and trouble and

Southland, of Ellisburg, n. j., had the
grewsome pleasure of reading his name on

something to do with his taking his life.

No Indications That W. Are to he visited

wAsHrSoyos, May lathe cholera
outlook Is distinctly better In the Marine
hospital than II was six or eight weeks
ago. This does not mean that the country
will net Be visited by q cholera outbreak
or that any precautions will be relaxed,
but merely that the indications are less
threatening than they were. II wa said
ut the Marine hospital service yesterday
that no cholera reports had as yet been re-
reived and that matters were progressing
satisfactorily.
1t was feared that there would be an
early and violent outbreak In France, but
the reports received from our medical off,
GERS there Indicate that the disease has
decreased lately In the districts in which
1t had appeared and that there Is an inn
provcment In the situation. The marine
hospital service was apprehensive that
there would be cholera reported before
now. The weather has become warm in
Europe, and every day that passes without
any occurrence Of tho dangerous attacks
of the disease, it Is said. can be taken as q
gain
At the same time 1t is felt that even IL
no cholera cases make their appearance
during the next month, 1t will be necessary
and wise to continue to guard against u
possible outbreak. Should the next 80
days he safely passed, however, it will give
q decided feeling Of relief and will en-
courage a feeling Of hope that we may
possibly escape q severe visitation from tho
scourge. Moreover, a decided advantage
will have been gained in that it will be
easier to combat the disease for the re-
naming days of the summer than 1t would
have been had an outbreak occurred at the
very beginning of hot weather.

How He Worked It.

There's a certain business man in Chi
a who is as cranky as he can well be
and is at the same time very careless in
his business affairs. But he IS very rich
and has a big establishment, and not an
employee likes him. About a year ago
one Of his clerks, getting $1,000 a year,
approached him on the subject Of al in
crease of salary. The Old man got hot
in q minute.
"How much are you getting nowT' he
asked.
The clerk was about to tell him when
a happy thought struck him.
1.-TWO thousand q year." he replied
firmly.
"Um-um," he said. "You are a good
clerk, and I'll see what a be done for
you"
Then he dismissed the clerk and called
in the manager.
"Make Jones' salary 1880 a year." he
said.
The manager was about to offer an ex-
PLANTATION.
"Do as I tell you," said the old man.
'Tn teach the young upstart to come in
here debating to me how much money
to pay my people,"
By this time the manager had compre-
hended the situation, and he forthwith
put Jones on the $500 list, and six
months later, when the old man found
how he had been worked, he called Jones
in and told him he would restore him to
the $4,000 list, and Jones was shrewd
enough to take the twinkle in the old
mans eye in good faith and say nothing.
