THE CoMNussARY MANAGER sTRIKEN.
Commissary Manager Joseph w. Smith
was stricken this afternoon while hand
ing out supplies to the people. He con-
tinued his work until his temperature
reached lOl, and his friends and the ply
sicians forced him home. He is now rest
ing easily and bids fair to be out again in
a few days. No one has worked harder
for the suffering poor than this noble
hearted man, and his illness is generally
regretted. A few minutes after Mr.
Smith was stricken the MORNING News
correspondents Office boy, Arthur Miles,
succumbed to the disease and is now dan
gerously i'll.

are entertained that he will be pulled
through. DIR. William T. Jenkins, New
YOrk's health officer, has mail here and it
was thought he was on the way, but TO-
night he wired Col. Goodyear to forward
it, as rumors Of cholera detained him.

tion, Rev. A. G.. p. Dodge has suspended
all church services and gatherings of diff
ferent kinds on the island. Both the

HELPING HAND OF THE NEWS.
Bruuswickians have not failed to re-
allze the good work the MORNING News
