Its dangers as well rs its advantages
The recent outbreak Of cholera in Eu-
ropean Russia, of whose daily advance
we were made aware by cable. warns us
that We have dangers to fear from . too
close international relationship.
The grave responsibility of keeping
from our land the drea ded acourge Of
cholera rests upon the sanitary in
spectors Of our port cities. for it is only
through few great gates Of commerce
that we have reason to fear its intro
duction.
Recent experiences with typhus fever
In the port cf New York have shown
that there arc weak points in our quar-
antine defences which should be rem
edied. When once these bulwarks are
passed, the labor Of disinfection Is in.
creased . thousand fold.
Il should be the duty of the authori-
ties to prepare beforehand for thorough
inspection Of all arriving vessels and for
complete disinfection of all suspected
freight and passengers
The usually easy-geing American
should mot allow his good nature to
modify the stringency Of his maritime
sanitary regulations European off,
cials are TO be commended for their in
creasing vigilance in this respect, for il
h by their efforts that the disease may
be kept from shipping ports whence 1t
might be distributed by commerce.

An Erhibit OF Swiftest poisops.

A peculiar and intensely interesting
part of the bacteriolgical exhibit is
one prepared for the worlds fair by
Prof. Brieger. 1t is collection of the
swiftest and most powerful poisons on
earth, all gained from the dead bodies
of those who fell victims To various
deadly bacteria. This class of poisons
are termed toxines, toXalhumines or
cadaverines. They are exhibited in
carefully closed tubes, so that each
can be closely inspected. Among them
are such deadly poisons discovered
in recent ycars-as 1neurine. betaine,
gadinine, textanotoxine, typhotaxine,
toxalbumen of cholera, or typhus, cada-
VERNE, obtained from normal body,
etc There are also in this group two
minimizing fluids, /. e., substance S
that will prevent diseases, such as
diphtheria and tetanus. But it must
be added that the discoverer of the
minimizing fluids, Prof. BrieCer, has
thus far tested their efficacy only on
various animals, not yet no human be-
ings So far as his experiments go,
however, they have proved successful.

New Bridge Location.

The bridge question, as all former
questions of any importance, has
caused division Of opinion among
the people of Waco. Some advocate
one location, some another, all aclu
ated by sincere desire to place tho
bridge in the most convenient loca
ton for the greatest number of our
county and city people, i'll which is
more or less mixed desire to en-
hance the value of property they may
be fortunate or unfortunate enough to
own in close proximity to the loca-
ton they advocate.
1t is gratifying, however, that there
is one point in which they can all
come together, and that is one Of
CRATE Importance, considering that
the summer is far advanced and the
fall, with all its glowing promises is
almost here, and that is, that now is
good time to see Egan about their
winter supply of coal.
