Chicago's Exorbitant Prices Being
Noised Abroad.
WASHINGTON, March 49, A dispatch
has been received at the state depart
ment from Thomas w, Peters COM
mercial agent at Plauen. Saxony, call
ing attention to Misrepresentation of
the condition of affairs at Chicago
which, if not corrected, he says, will
result in material loss to the worlds
fair. Mr.. Peters says that letters from
Chicago are being printed in the dis
trict he occupies and widely circulated,
warning Germans that if they come to
the worlds fair they must be pre-
pared to put up with inferior and
insufficient accommodation, for which
exorbitant prices are to be charged. He
suggests that the hotel and boarding
house keepers in Chicago advertise
throughout Europe their schedule Of
rates to be in vogue during the fair to
counteract the influence of these pnbli-
cations. The suggestion viii be sub.
mitted to the worlds fair officials.

ST.. PAUL, March 1S.-J. j. Rhodes,
the manager OF the coal combine at ST..
Paul, has recovered all his books taken
by the legislative investigating commit
tee, except the letter book, and this the
COMMITTEES considers sumciently damag-
ing without corroborative evidence
Mr.. Rhodes swore out writ of re-
plevin, and the sheriff of Ramsey
county served it, or tried to. The COM
mittee, however, claimed not to be
amenable to ordinary proceedings and
refused to give up the books until they
had looked them over and found
whether they contained anything of
value An examination convinced
them the letter book was sufficient
Interesting Heading.
The letters in the book make very in
teresting reading. From number of
them taken mt random it appears that
on various dates MIR. RI odes advised
several of the coal companies in the two
cities that they ought to cease supply
ing coal to retail dealers who were not
subscribers to the bureau until such
time rs they became subscribers and
paid their fee, that shippers were ad-
vised what prices to bid for different va
rieties of coal for which the city hall
and courthouse committee had adver-
tised, and that number of the ship
pers We're advised to bid from 8 to 10
cents more than the recommendation.
Came in the Mall
The morning mail brought to Chair
man Donnelly an anonymous letter, ac-
companying which were a number of
letters written by Mr.. Rhodes and by G.
McC. Reeve when he was secretary.
These letters are in general way not
different from those found Ina the letter
book.
In some respects Senator Donnelly
and Mr.. Walsh consider them even
stronger than the letters found in the
copy book, however. Among the lot is
letter issued by Mr.. Rhodes in the
early fall OF 1891 notifying the dealers
in Minneapolis that on certain date
thecity was to ask for bids for fuel to
the amount of some 5000 tons of coal
for the ensuing winter He thereupon
set the prices which were to be bid by
each Minneapolis dealer, and specified
how the bids should be made.
A Pennsylvania Threat.
Said Mr.. Donnelly to a reporter:
have letter from coal baron In
Pennsylvania notifying me that the coal
dealers in that state have heard of the
Legislative investigation now under way
and give Us timely warning that unless
we stop it this entire state will
be shut out from the hard coal
market of the season of 1881. | have not

About the Cholera
New York, March 18.-Dr. Hans
Virchow. son of Professo Rudolph Vir-
chow, the distinguished professor of
anatomy a. the University of Berlin,
and himself one Of the best of Ger
many's cholera experts, arrived here
on board the Lain. The professor goes
to Chicago, where he is to represent his
government ais commissioner of pub
lie education at the worlds fair. The
professor received very cordial well
come.
A Talk About Cholera.
When cholera was mentioned he
seemed recognize an old foe. and began
to talk freely.
1T Is my opinion" said he, that you
Americans have less to fear that the dis
ease will be brought here from Germany
this year than last. We are doing all we
can to make it impossible for it to break
out In Hamburg and others cities whichit
devastated last autumn At Hamburg we
are building new waterworks, and these
viii soon be completed. The city water
viii be taken from a point up the Elbe.
Examination has disclosed the fact that
the water is pure there and contains no
germs of disease. Care will be taken that
1t in no way becomes infected, and after it's
arrival in the city it will be subjected to a
filtering process which will, we hope,
make it impossible to do injury"
Then you do not agree with DR. Won
Petenkofer that cholera was due, not to
had voto hs,k to- has, Or
Due to Foul Water.
II believe that the disease was brought
about by foul water taken from the River
Elbe and furnished to the citizens of Ham
burg to drink. have no criticism TO pass
on Won Petenkofer. He is welcome to his
own theory. The Elbe was made sewer
for several cities along its banks, and by
the time the water was received in the
pipes at Hamburg it was absolutely unfit
to drink. That it contained the germs of
the disease that caused so many deaths
have not the slightest doubt I say that
the water from which Hamburg will de-
rive its new supply is pure, because it has
been tested. The City of Halle has been
supplied with it, and the death rate there
il very small comparatively.
is the German government taking
measures to maintain strict quaran-
tine?''
Yes; experience of last year has
Been Warning To Us All,
and you may depend upon it that the
utmost precautions will be taken not only
to keep cholera out of Germany, but to
prevent it's introduction elsewhere as the
result of our own negligence. We know
more about cholera now than we did six 6r
eight mcnths ago. III men can learn any
thing by experience;-eersaiHly we ought.
While in this country it is the profess
sor's purpose to make study of the
health regulations and methods of in
struction in Harvard, Yale. Princeton,
Chicago and other universities. He
hopes to take back some very valuable
information.

Me heart was gone intirely and the shpell
was on me shure,
I suffered from a shtrange disaise no doc

Nor pills, nor patent medicines, nor plasthers

Nor layin' on of hands or feet could liver
make me we'll.
Young Cupid. that designin' skamp, who
thravels aist and wesht,
Got onto my affections aud his culver pierced
me breasht.
Twas years agone when this occurred-me
FASHION now l own,
She was a simple Irish gerl-Bidalia Jane
Malone.
Bidalia's folks and our folks were naybors
close for years,
From boyhood days me heart had throbbed
'twiXt many doubts and fears;
1 scarcely dared to LUX at her whiniyer she
passed by,
Perchance the bonny gerrls might see the
love-light in me eye.
And aften times when she was sint on er-
rands to the shtore,
I'd hang about unaisy just forninst the cot
While watchin' like a hungry dog a-waitin'
for a bone,
Me heart kept palpitatin' for Bidalia Jane
Malone.
One day 1 pluck'd up courage whin I sees
her comm back,
All loaded down with groceries enough to
make q pack;
So with himmin and with hawin', thin

ri hip you" but L shtammered whin her
quick glance caught me eye.
Before the gerrul could answer me, I saized
the heavy shtuff,
She only shmiled, but niver said a word that
= l was rough;
We walked along ~togither-it was Darby and
his Joan,
But what she th~ought-you'n have to ask
Bidalia Jane Malone.
The ice was broke-the moment that she
shmiled on me that day
I felt as proud and happy as the bloomin'
Me sky took on an aZhure hue, undimmed be
n cloud or mist,
Andsmany's the time down by the gate we
i had our twilight thryst.
A bashful sort of chap was l. SO the shtream
of love ran slow,
Me passion a~lthernated like the oceans ebb
and flow.
And I'd rather shpake me sentimints across
the telephone
THAI make a declarashun to Bidalia Jane
Malone.
Well she waited. and 1 waited with the
proshpects quite content.
Of the love that bate beneath me vest l niver
dhroDped a hint;
Me calls became more frequent and me pash-
I wondher now her mother didn't charge me
fer me board.
Five years of dilly-dallying, one night dresht

SUED A SULTAN.
Jennie MigheII Wants Damages
From His Highness.

LONDON, Nov. A. The action for
breach of promise. involving heavy
damages and the question of possession
of a diamond bracelet, brought against
his highness, the Sultan of Johore,
by Miss Jennie Mighell, of Devon
shire Terrace, Brighton, came up be-
fore Justices Swigs and Lawrence to-
day. Application was made on behalf
of the sultan to stay all proceedings ON
the ground that he was an Independent
sovereign, and that the court had
no jurisdiction over him. A letter
from the consul was produced by
the sultan, stating that the latter'S re-
lations to England were those of an al
lance and not of a sovereignty, and the
sultan maintained armed forces by land
and sea. Counsel for the plaintiff read
an affidavit to the effect that she knew
the sultan as albert Baker," and
that she did not know who he was until
1888, when he promised her marriage.
Counsel for Miss Mighill claimed that
in as much as the sultan had lived in
England privately as ALBERT Baker,"
he had disentitled himself, and in any
case the sultan came under the juris-
dictiOn of the empress of India. The
Judges of the high court of justice. how
ever, after giving attention to both sides
of the case, decided to allow the appeal
of the Sultan to stay all proceedings on
the ground that he was an independent
sovereign, and ruled that he did not
come under the jurisdiction of the
court.
