THE MAINE HOSPITAL SERVICE.
The Outposts That Keep Out Cholera and
Yellow Jack
Washington Star.1

The United States is looking after the
health of the people. That an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure is
the maxim that has been adopted by the
marine hospital bureau, which has all
national sanitary matters in it's charge.
Supervising Surgeon General Walter
Wyman and his corps of expert assistants
have been particularly watchful of late,
and the prospects are that the country
will have but little to fear from epidem-
les his season. Yellow fever, cholera
and smallpox are the three diseases up
permost in the minds of the marine hos
pital bureau at present, and their rela-
tive Importance is expressed in the order
in which they are named. Last year
cholera was the chief impending danger
at this season, and the means taken by
the service, both foreign and domestic,
to prevent this dread scourge from visit
ing the United States are too well known
reference. OF course no one can tell
what the summer may bring forth. The
bureau has an experience surgeon, who
has now been abroad more than a year
visiting various European points and
collecting information, investigating
rumors and keeping constantly in touch
with the Washington headquarters by
letter and cable.
The latest reports indicate decrease
of the threatening danger of disease in
those localities where it had recently
appeared. There is no doubt that choI-
era is now better handled throughout
Europe than ever before and less doubt
of the fact that the presence of medical
officers of the United States marine hos.
pital service last year in all the principal
ports had marked effect. 1t induced
other nations to pay attention to preven-
tive measures in manner never before
attempted. The influence of the United
States regulations in regard to the ex-
portation of emigrants and merchandise
from cholera-infected districts had a
most beneficial effect on the civilized
world. They came to understand that
the United States was not, and would
not be, dumping ground for foreign
garbage: that the United States would
not receive with indifference Immigrants
and baggage irrespective of cleanliness
and freedom from contagion. Even to-
day all immigrants and baggage must
be inspected and properly labeled at the
ports of departure-if infected disinfec-
ton is required
YELLOW FEVER
Yellow fever however, is geographically
nearer at hand. It's cause is less per-
fectly understood than that of cholera
1t is more insidious in it's approach, and
even last year, although the cholera was
severe, yellow fever proved a greater
menace. A severe epidemic has been
raging until within short time since
at Rio Janeiro, and it exists in other
in Havana and other Cuban ports and
special and extraordinary measures have
already been put into operation to pro-

higher court. Instead of that, however,
they set themselves up as the judges of
his law and brought in report, pro-
nouncing it faulty, and bill forbidding
judges to make any more such rulings
in the future. 1t seems as if this
was clear usurpation on the part of the
House committee of judicial powers. If
a House committee can sit i'll Judgment
on the soundness as matter of law Of the
decisions of one judge, it is difficult to
see why they cannot do the same with
any number of judges or with the Su-
preme Court itself. The manifest in
tention of the constitution is to keep the
legislative and executive branches of our
government distinct and independent of
one another. They cannot be kept dis
tinct if committees of the House are to
be empowered to decide as to the sound
ness in law of judicial decisions.

The majority of the House committee
has done very curious thing in the
case of Judge Jenkins, who was accused
of improperly enjoining trainmen from
leaving the service of the Union Pacific
railroad. He was originally accused of
acting with corrupt intent and the in
vestigation was begun BY the House
committee with a view of presenting ar
ticles of impeachment against him. But
apparently no evidence was forthcom-
ing Of the corrupt intent, for the COM
mittee acquitted him on that point Hav

How near the Democrats have come
to making tariff bill in accordance
with the demands of the Chicago plat
form may be judged from the fact that
the cotton schedules of the amended
measure were SO satisfactory to the pro-
tectionists that they passed without a
word of objection.

termined onslaught by the premier
upon their inherited privilege to monop-
olze one branch of the legislative de-
partment, especially when they make
that privilege an impeachment to popular
legislation, and subservient to their own
peculiar personal interests when they
clash with those OF the public. The
great wealth of England is no longer
represented in the great landed estates.
The commercial and manufacturing
wealth of the nation ia now
of far more Importance than the
broad acres of the nobility. and
those who control that wealth
embrace among their number some OF
the sblest men in the country. The
men who control the great mercantile
industries and the immense commerce
of Great Britain will not remain salts
fed with an institution, the doors of
which are closed against them, and
which defeats the will of the people
whenever it interferes with the interests
of their class. An elective upper house
will be very apt to be the outcome OF
any serious collision between the pre-
mier and the peers.

The Player. for Mr.. Percy Hunting, Mr..
Leonard Grover, Mr.. Leonard Grover,

Ludlam and Miss Rhea Lorraine will
play the principal parts, which Will as

Worth of Paris.
Mr.. Hsnley will wear as Romeo cos
tune worn by Edwin Booth and pre-
sented by him to his protege. Ot the
play the following is quoted from The
State, Columbia, S. O.:
Seldom has there appeared an attrac-
ton in the Columbia opera house which
more completely csptivated the audience
than did Miss Marsden's new play, The
Player, as presented by Mr.. Lawrence
Hanley and his splendid company. The
young tragedian, as shown by his work
last night, will soon bear the title OF
the "beet legitimate actor" IN the coun-
try. This young southern man, born IN
Savannah, and tutored by Modjeska
and the greatest actors OF modern times,
Booth and Barrett, has reaped the bene-
tit OF such illustrioue training and Is &C
compliehed in every sense OF the word.
These great actors and actress saw the
unusual ability of Mr.. Hanley and day
by day they developed it. Oft did he
relieve both Booth and Barrett when
they were i'll, and did their parts well.
Mr.. Hanley has the physique of a
Hercules, the face of an Apollo and the
grace of an Adonis. de acts with great
vigorousness and earnestness, has a
clear conception of q character and
reads his lines well nigh fsultlessly. He
has powerful yet clear voice, splendid
facial expression, and exercises great
discretion. Add to these qualities
wonderful versatility, and Lawrence
Hanley stands before yo1-in imsgina-
ton.

By ONE of those inexplicable accidents
which sometimes occur in newspaper
Office, paragraph got into our editorial
eolumns yesterday commenting upon
the Fulford-Pixley affair. The writer OF
that paragraph, after absolving Fulford
from all suspicion of foul play in bis
wife's death, saya: "But if the actress,
as is alleged, left nearly $400 600, it is
certainly somewhat strangs that she
failed to provide for her mother" ETC.
This is an sspersion which the facts as
known do not justify. Mr.. Fulford has
just returned with the ashes of his wife
from England to Philadelphia, to pro-
bate and execute the will OF his wife,
which is deposited in that city. Its
eontents have not yet been published /;
but from her well known flial gener-
osity and affection, the will has doubt
less made ample provision FOR the sup
port of the mother. Then the writer
treats Fulford with ridicule as a son-in-
law from whom great liberality may be
expected when it is considered that
during his wife's lifetime he allowed her
the munifcent sum of SIS per month 1!
All this fine sarcasm is wasted when we
say that the most authentic version OF
the interview with Mr.. Fulford places
the allowance at Is pounds sterling per
month. Surely an old lady like Mrs.
Pixley ought to be able to satisfy all her
reasonable wants with an income OF
seventy-fiye dollars per MONTH
