Cholera I'm Persia.

1t is easy enough to understand why
Persia is a hotbed for cholera. The
only wonder is that it should ever be
free from that plague. Here is an ex-
tract from recent report of the British
consul at Resht, town of forty thou
sand inhabitants: 'yrhe cesspools that
exist III each house are mere wells.
more or less deep, which have no exit.
Drinking water is obtained from wells
sunk within ten to twenty yards of
thesc eesspools. There are no sewers,
and though cutters exist in some
streets, they arc worse than useless,
for they have no means OF carrying
away the accumulated water. and con-
sequentiy they are oftener than not
full of stagnant green liquid. The
rubbish out of kitchens is thrown out
nccrtain corners OF streets and open
spaces, whore it is allowed to ,lccnmn-
late. Ponds have been artificialiy made
where water out Of the cutters accumu-
lates and when in winter it freezes
this filthy, muddy watar IS tnrncd into
ice and collected in the icehouses for
consumption the following summer.

DudIey,s Cable Ordinnnce.

Dudley's cable railway has come to light
once more. The commission that is revis-
ing the city ordinances will recommend
that the ordinance granting the franchise
be repealed as it has never been operative.
1t will be remembered that the Dudley COM
pany secured a franchise in 1888 and pro-
ceeded to lay some track, but were en-
joined by the Citizens company, and the
Injunction was afterwards held good by
the Supreme Court. The franchise was
afterward sold to Tom l.. Johnson. ind Is
now supposed to be owned by the c. tizen' s
company. The decision of the Supreme
Court makes it void, so that 1t is not Of
any value TO any one now.
