It Exists in Turkey Among Arab Set
Elements.
w WASHINGTON, June 7.-Surgeon-Gen-
ersl Wyman of the Marine Hospital
service on Tuesday cabled the American
Minister at Constantinople, Turkey. for
affirmation or denial of the report that
cholera exists in that country, and to-day
received the following reply:
"PERA, June THE first case an
peared May 10th at Bagdad, spreading
amongst the Arab settlements. Also
numerous cases are reported and twenty
deaths per diem at Bassorah. The scourge
has lately appeared at Red Sea ports.
"NEwBERRY, Charge d'Affaires."
DIR. Wyman does not anticipate anv
danger from the disease, unless it should
work its way to Alexandria, on the Red
Sea. Should it reach Alexandria, great
precautions will be necessary to prevent
its admission into European countries.
A cablegram has been received from
Hamburg stating that no cholera ex-
listed there, and the health of the city is
good.

The New Toy Dog.

The newest thing in small house pets is
the japanese spaniel, or, as some call
him. Japanese pug. So new is he. in
deed, that he has not had time to become
fashionable. He is graceful in form, with
a pug nose, large dark eyes, long hang
ing ears and a tail curled up like a puc's.
His coat is black and white in color ard
soft as silk. He may be allowed 10 reach
the weight Of eight pounds, though if he
can manage not to exceed three he is
much more valuable. The aristocrat OF
the family-for there are degrees even in
the timer circle'-wears yellow instead
OF black to set of the white of his exuui-
site wavy coat Both varieties are rare
and costly even in japan, and verv diff
cult to procure. In the old days none
but the highest mobiles were allowed to
possess one.
An interesting story was lately I'M
earthed in Japan by the New York gen.
tleman who has imported most OF the
race which have appeared in this city
According to the legend, which is vouched
for as true, so long ago as in the tair-
teenth century a Japanese nobieman took
some of these dogs 10 England. and from
them came the King Charles and Blen-
helm spanlelS, which have held their
own position TO this day.
There are several OF these dogs now liv-
ing in New York, brought. tits said.
from the Mikado's own kennels. one OF
whom does not weigh more than three
pounds, is fifteen inches long, and worth
$500. This little japanese Is one of the
most intelligent of his race, atfectionate.
and exceedingly sensitive. He is also
very active, ana altogether a most attract
i've pet-perhaps the coming dog'' about
whom we have heard so much. He is
dainty in taste. and delights to dine on
tea-roses, but since at New York prices
that would be rather extrayagant. he will
content himself with rice and chicken.
He must have the softest of cushions, the
most comfortable of quarters, and the
best of care to flourish. Several OF these
dogs were on exhibition i'll the recent
dog show.-Harper's Bazaar

Fine Programme Winds Up with a
Quarter Race.
The open-air concert at the Plaza last
night by the Hussar Band, under the
leadership of Professor Franz, drew a
large attendance. The evening was pleas
ant, and the crowd kept the walk around
the Plaza from getting cold, while the
grass was well covered with groups. A
fine programme was rendered. winding
up with The Colored Walters Ball" a
descriptive piece, that drew marks of APP
probation from the crowd.
A funny incident occurred during the
piece, one part of which represented a
row in the band stand, and a dummy
representing the inebriated individual
VINO raised the disturbance was thrown
from the stand to the ground.
The special policeman for the Plaza
started to pick it up, when boy grabbed
it and struck lively gait, lodging among
the crowd, while the officer followed him
at gait that made the people think he
was entered for the spring races. The
crowd ran to see what was the matter and
enjoyed the race thoroughly, but no pools
were sold. The band played America"
and the Plaza was soon vacated.

A Jew days ago a reception was held in
Waterbury, at which one of the most. if
not the most wonderful contrivance of
mechanical art in this country was exhib-
tied for the first time. The favored few.
including the Boston Herald man, who
were admitted witnessed a work repre-
senting twelve years skilled labor, ex-
pended in original design and applica-
ton upon a clock, which is said to rival
that OF the famous Strasburg cathedral,
and which is claimed TO have no equal in
America. In 1881 L. A. Locke, SECRETARY
Of the Waterbury Clock Company, con-
ceived the idea of constructing the clock
and work upon it was Immediately be-
gun. 1t was the original intention of the
company to have it finished and placed
on exhibition at the Paris exposition in
1889, but the scope of the undertaking
assumed more and more colossal proper
tons as the work progressed, and it has
been completed but week.
