Importance of Surgeon Carter's Work.

The Importance of Surgeon Carriers
work to this city cannot be over esti-
mated. What he seeks to do is to pre-
vent refugees from the fever section get
ting into the city. The danger of the
fever spreading if refugees should get
into the city and be stricken with the
disease is so remote as to be hardly worth
considering. A prominent physician ex-
pressed the opinion yesterday that if
fifty cases of yellow fever should be
brought into the city now the disease
would not spread. The reason it would
not is that the season is too late and the
city is too healthy.
But if few refugees coming into the
city should be stricken by the fever after
getting here a great deal of damage to
business would be done. The reports
that would get abroad would be of
the most exaggerated character, and
the city would be avoided And,
besides, our own people would
be apprehensive that the disease would
remain dormant through the winter and
make its appearance next summer
The greatest care, therefore, ought to
be exercised in keeping out people from
the infected localities who have not been
through the detention camp, or who have
not been a long time away from the sec
tion in which the disease prevails.
What we expect Surgeon Carter to do,
therefore, is to help US keep out refugees,
and there is no doubt that his help in that
direction will be of the most efficient
kind.
AT no time this summer has there
been a feeling among the physicians
here that Savannah is in any
danger of having an epidemic of yellow
fever this year, but they all realize that
it would be a serious misfortune if refu-
gees should come here and be stricken
with the disease. The quarantine, there
fore, should be made as strict as posi-
BILE, and all citizens should assist the au-
thorities in enforcing the quarantine
regulations. No unreasonable regula-
tions ought to be adopted, but there
should be a cheerful compliance with the
regulations which the health authorities
regard as necessary.

Putting the Pressure on the Senate.

Putting the Pressure on the Senate.
. Senator VOORHEES,, the leader OF the
majority in the Senate, has notified an
the repeal senators 70 be on hand next
. Wednesday. A more vigorous EFFORT is
/ 20 be made 20 get a vote on the repeal
[ bill The purpose is 20 hold q c0ntinu-
] Gus session until a vote is reached. IL is
evident that a vote would never be
reached If the majority should wait I'M
Ill the minority got tired Of talking.
Messrs. Stewart and Teller and the rest
Of the extreme silver men are prepared
70 talk on silver until next summer. They
do not intend that a vote shall be taken
if they can prevent it.
In the meantime business men in all
parts of the country should give the
majority all the assistance they can.
They should take steps 10 show the
Senate just what the sentiment of the
country is in respect to the repeal
bill A few days ago delega-
tion of about eighty merchants Of
Baltimore went to Washington and
had an interview with Senator German,
in which they pointed out the great in
jury that was being done the business of
the country by the delay in acting upon
the repeal bill. There were no bankers
or brokers among them. They spoke
only for the great business interests Of
Baltimore
Delegations of business men from other
cities ought to visit Washington and en-
dcavor TO make those senators who are
obstructing legislation see that they are
not acting in accordance with the will of
the people, but against it. There may be
senators who sincerely believe that in
preventing the repeal of the Sherman
silver law they are acting in accord
ance with the wishes of
majority of the people,
though it is difficult to understand how
they can hold such an opinion. The re-
fusal of the state democratic convention
of Nebraska to favor the free coinage of
silver and the small attendance at the Pan
American silver convention in St. Louis
the other day ought to convince them
that what the people want is the repeal
of the Sherman silver law and not the
free coinage of silver on the terms offered
by the extreme silver men.
Something definite as to what the Sen
ate is going TO do ought to be developed
before the end of this week. Senator
Voorhees, may not be able to get a vote by
that time, but If he uses all the means at
his command and is assisted by the bust
ness interests in all parts of the country,
he will make it evident that vote
cannot be delayed much longer.

Not in Want of Rirdseed.

He was thin old man, says the New York
Tribune, with chin whiskers and a pot-luck
mouth. He sat beside an elderly woman with
a bird cage on her lap, and as the car 1olted
and wobbled down the narrow cross-street,
the thin old mau regarded his neighbor with
Madame he said, finally, your bird cage

Il say your cage is leaking"

"Mebbe it can't" he rejoined, ''but I'm GO

don't stop the dripping"
She hastily reversed the cage, so as to bring
the dripping end upon victim on the other
side OF her, and looked railroad spikes at the
old man, but she didn't say anything.
The situation, however, was not improved
by the change. Every jolt Of the car brought
a shower of birdseed pattering into the old
mans lap, and after the third fire he began to
grow angry.

his trousers, and dredged up another supply
from his Overcoat pocket. Take me for a

Some Of the republican papers do not
approve Of the course which the admins
tration is pursuing towards Hawaii.
They say it is discourteous and unpar-
donable. In view Of the fact that they
know little or nothing Of the Presidents
plans or purposes in respect TO Hawaii
u may not be out Of place to remark that
Their expressions Of opinion are rather
nasty The President will settle the
Hawaiian matter in good time. The re-

prominent figure In politics in st. Louis
where he now edits an influential German
paper. Hendrix staid in New York but In a
general way experienced the same disposition
of a benevolent providence as his former col
league of the press. They turned UP in
Washington about the same time, and there
was a cordial greeting as they shook hands.
What are you doing in Washington
asked Hendrix.
THAT'S a fair question" said BarthoIdt

Senator Blackburn is entitled to credit
for one thing, and that is for announcing
that he will not filibuster to prevent a
vote on the repeal bill. He is willing
that the majority shall rule. He is on
the wrong side of the pending issue in the
Senate, but he is statesman enough to see
that this government can exist only by
permitting the majority to rule.

Telling a pifferent storv.

Two or three years ago, when the
beautiful Philadelphia heiress, Mary
Wheeler, married Count Pappenheim the
Philadelphia friends Of the Wheelers and
the Philadelphia papers could hardly say
enough in praise of the count, and the
brilliant marriage which, it was alleged,
Miss Wheeler had made. Count Pappen-
helm belongs to very old and honor
able family Of which he is the head, and
it was represented that though he had
not a great amount of ready money he
possessed vast estates in Bavaria, which,
with little care, would yield an i'm
mense revenue. And so the pretty Phila-
delphia girl was envied by all her girl
friends of the Quaker city. There was a
brilliant wedding and the old families of
the quiet town were kept in flutter by
the social events that were connected
with the wedding. Mary Wheeler be-
came the countess of Pappenheim and
sailed away to foreign shores.
The other day the dispatches announced
that the Countess of Pappenheim had
separated from her husband, and that
the separation was permanent one. Her
IAlldu6lpuld lTlGuuS are Telling
story now different from that which they
told before the marriage. The count
hasn't cent and hand't enough
to buy himself a suit of clothes
at the time of the wedding
Mrs Wheeler even paid his hotel
bills and furnished him with pocket
money before he married her daughter
Since his marriage his main object in
life has been apparently to spend his
wife's fortune and that of his mother-in-
law. His debts have become SO enormous
that even his mother-in-law's fortune,
large as it is, would not be sufficient to
pay them and others he is certain to con-
tract if he has credit
And it is said the means he adopted to
extort money from his wife and mother
in-law were not always of the gentlest
kind. So the wife and mother-in-law
will be back soon in their Philadelphia
home. The count will be left to pick up
a living as best he can in Europe And
this is the outcome of the great Papen-
helm Wheeler wedding! All is not gold
that glitters American girls who ex-
change their gold for titles seldom find
ginuine happiness.

wyndam Got an Opinion of Himself.

Most persons believe that Charles WIND
ham, the London comedian, is an English
man and won his first laurels across the
water, This is not true, says the New York
Evening Sun. Wyndham was born in this
country. For years he played here in stock
companies, in Washington and St. Louis and
for several years he played small parts in
this city with the Wallack stock. This was
just after the war. Mr.. Wyndham never tires
OF telling one of his experiences Of those
days, although it is rather rough on himself
1t happened when he was playing in Wash
ington. He had made a local name for him
self, and his head had kept pace with his
fame A play was put on in which he had no
part. From the outset young Wyndham de-
clared it would be failure. On his first night
he stood in the crowd at the rear of the
orchestra chairs in order to appreciate the
laments which were sure to go up as soon as
the audience discovered that he was out Of
the bill.
II waited until after the first act, said Mr..
Wyndham, land then, as no one commented
upon my absence, l began to feel idgety.
Finally edged up alongside of an old gentle
man and asked: Well. what do you think Of
the play, sir; pretty bad, don't you thinkY
BEST thing they've done yet, replied the
old gentleman. This stock company would
amount to something If they'd only keen that
