The name Of Prof. E. N. Horsford, OF
Yale College, whose death has been an
nounced, was probably as well-known
Throughout the south as the name Of any
living public man except that of Cleveland
or Blaine, although Prof. Horsford was not
what might be called public man. Years
ago he invented baking powder which
bore his name, and which attained to al
most phenomenal sales, especially in small
towns and villages, thus his name became a
household word. His recently asserted be-
lief that Columbus was not the discoyerer of
America, but that to Lief Ericsson be-
longed the honor, brought him temporarily
before the public through the newspapers.
But the prominence given him by his Yale
professorship, his historical researches and
his chemical discoveries is secondary to his
prominence as the inventor of a successful
baking powder.

Thosa lrrapularitiaa.

1t must be very gratifying to the four
gentlemen, candidates for county Offices,
as 1t doubtless is TO all other good citizens,
that the statement they made that there
were Irregularities in the registration books
used at the county election two years ago
was not sustained. In their communication
to the county commissioners those genule-
men said:
''At the election for county officers two
years ago many Irregularities were noted
and much confusion caused thereby which
occasioned no little dissatisfaction. Many
names were left OF the published lists which
should have been thereon, the parties being
willing to produce sworn evidence OF the
fact OF their having duly registered. Many
others were on the public list who admitted
having not registered"
The investigation was completed yes
terday and at its conclusion the
commissioners adopted resolutions in which
they said:
al. No names were left Off the published
lists which should have been thereon.
''2. No persons we're on the published lists
who admitted having not registered.
"3. No Irregularities OF errors were shown
in the registration books or printed lists.
"a. The only irregularities that were
shown by the evidence occurred at the cleo
ton in the management thereof.
Tho books and the evidence concur In
showing that certain parties had voted and
their names not erased or otherw marked
as having voted"
The fairness Of the investigation is not
questioned and the correctness OF the flnd-
Ing will doubtless be admitted even by those
whose statement led to the investigation.
1t isn't often that public officials, whose
work is called :nto question, receive such
complete viudicatlon. The gentlemen who
declared there were Irregularities in the
registration no doubt rejoice that they were
mistaken.

National Quarantine.

It is evident that there is very strong op-
position in congress 70 Senator Chandler s
bill which provides for a suspension Of i'm
migration for one yesr. and longer if the
danger from cholera continues after the
expiration of a year. The west is afraid
that if Immigration should be suspended for
any considerable length of time the atten-
ton of immigrants might be turned to
Canada and South America. and that she
would never again receive so large share
of them.
In proportion as the sentiment in congress
in favor of the suspension of immigration
becomes weaker that in favor of national
quarantine becomes stronger. In the in
terror states there is very little confidence
in state quarantines, and if there should be
a serious outbreak of cholera in Europe
this year and It should get foothold in any
one of our ports the interior states would
establish guarantees that would make com
nercial intercourse between them and the
seaboard impossible.
The argument In favor OF a national
quarantine is a strong one. The state board
of health Of Illinois has Just sent out a cir
cular letter in which, speaking of state
quarantines, it says: State guarantees
are costly, conflicting. capricious and
wholly unreliable. They are costly in that
they often impose unnecessary and vexa-
tious restrictions upon travel and traffic.
They are conflicting because they are the
outcome Of varying degrees OF civilization
and intelligence. They are capricious be-
cause too often the response to popular
clamor accented by popular superstition
and popular fear. They are unreliable be-
cause all experience. foreign and domestic.
proves the futility of quarantines of exclu-
sion and sanitary cordons between states
and communities on the same continent.
"a national quarantine-or rather a ma
tional sanitary service-would impose the
minimum Of interference with commerce
while securing the maximum Of protection
to the public health"
The came health board suggests that the
national government should take charge of
quarantine matters and also Of the immi-
grants-that is, it should permit no immi-
grants to enter the country who are IN
condition to spread disease of any kind. It
should establish sanitary depots having
both houses and disinfecting chambers for
the publication Of those arriving in disease
infected ships.
The questions of the suspension of immi-
grafton and the establishment of national
quarantine will have considerable attention
from congress at this session, and the prob
abilities are that as far as practicable the
government will be given additional au-
thority in quarantine matters.

There was time, says John Gilmer IN Ear

shared in the occupations OF the whits people
and acquitted themselves with great credit

discipline Of the forscastle. vas god for HIM,
at least so long as he was atoat. Many OF them
got TO be mates. and one became q captain.
This distinguished sailor man vas not a pure
bred Indian. but was part negro. and probably
had q small though potential quantity OF white
blood. This was Capt. Lee; and any one down
toward Southampton or Sag Harbor can tell Of
his giant stature and immense strength. This
Capt Lee was the son Of a still more famous
uan-Parson Lee.
Parson1 [ ee was a naulatto who ran away from
Virginia aud made his way TO Connecticut. He
always said that he had belonged TO the famous
Lee family Of Virginia. At any rate he was
q man Of parts and energy. In Connecticut he
became Second Adventist. and such was
licensed to preach. So he became Pafson Lee.
Crossing over the sound he went a mission
AIRY among the Shlnnecocks. He married
squaw and converted the whole tribe 20 his be-
lief It may be said right here that the SHINE
cocks have frequently changed their church.
As TO Just when they became Christians know

among them now remembers the celebration Of
no Indian rites whatever. They were Presby
teriens when Parson Lee changed them into
Second Adventists. Since bis death they have
been Congregatonslists, and now they are
PresbyteriaDs again. During Parson Lees life
one Of the Ascension days arrived He got the
faithful together on a sandhill to wait for the
summons 20 q better world. They were all
dressed in white ascension robes. All day long
they waited for the summons. Toward evening
some OF them grew weary and fell to sleep.
Among these was the parson. When night
had fallen some OF the irreverent
youngsters from Southampton set the dry
grass on FIRE. and in q little while. with crackle
and smoke, the fire was creeping toward the
white robed and sleeping Shinnecocks. The
smoke and heat awoke the slumberers, and
among them Parson Lee The parson jumped
TO his feet. and behoding the encircling fire,
exclaimed in a loud voice.
Here We are Here we are And Just as
expected, in the middle Of hell"
I cannot seriously set this down as q well
authenticated historical fact, but it has become
tradition in Southampton. J. H. Person
the president of the bank there, aud member of
the state legislature from Suffolk county,
doubts the story very much, and is inclined to
believe that it is too good to be true. But
