CHICAGO PEST RIDDEN.
Smail~PoX Epidemic. Hospitals Crowd
ed-Wafting for Patients to Die.

CHICAGO, April 19.-Small-pox is
raging in Chicago and the city is ap-
parently- helpless. There are ten
cases of the disease in the County
Hospital, and that institution is un
der quarantine. The epidemic is in
creasing daily. Officials of the city
and the county have become seriously
alarmed, and it IS quite apparent that
the spread of the disease has grown
because of the carelessness of the Dt1i
Gals. Several weeks ago S25, 900 was
appropriated for the Health Depart
ment to build an annex to the pest
house, which has been full for long
time, and nothing has been done on
the plea that the architects plans had
not come.
Meantime dozens of cases cannot oe
removed from the places of origin,
and the epidemic grows. So serious
has the situation become that Alder
man Madden, Chairman of the City
Finance Committee, has decided to
draw on any and all of the city funds
to enable the Health Department to
handle the new cases. The County
Hospital is overcroWded with ordinary
patients. The pest house itself is
Overpacked with patients. They are
sleeping on mattresses on the floors Of
the rooms. Every available inch Of
space has been pressed into service,
and at last it was necessary to close
the doors. There are now l7S cases in
the pet house.
In the County Hospital the danger
is imminent. The Warden told the
Health Commissioner that the hun
dreds of patients were in danger of
contagicn and pleaded with him to
have the patients with the pest re-
moved. The doctor replied that lie
had no place in which to remove them.
"All can do" said the Health Com
missioner. sis to wait until some of
the patients at the smallpox hospital
die''

CAST OFF FROM 4 WRECK.
Taiiless Cats Which Founded a Community
on the New jersey Coast.


the New Jersey Coast.
Long Beach, the narrow strip of sand
seven miles from the mainland on
which the village of Beach Haven,
II. j., stands, contains the only tribe
of taillcss cats in the United States.
These cats were not detailed, says n
correspondent OF the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. They were born without
tails. Early in this century large
English brig was wrecked on that
part Of the Jersey coast. She became
a total wreck, but the sailors lives
were saved, and SO were the lives of
lot of cats. These fclines came from
the Isle of Man and belonged to
curious breed found only on that
island known as Manx cats. At first
the animals were quite tame, and fre-
qusnted the vicinity of the lighthouse,
where they nightly held open-air con-
certs that were not harmonious enough
to merit the appreciation of the
lightkccpers, and ultimately resulted
IN their being driven away. The
felines took to the woods and managed
to subsist during the first winter on
birds, thousands OF which lived in the
swamps. The cats increased rap
idly in number, and in a
fcw years small packs of them
could be found almost anywhere in
Barnegat's woods. Their outdoor life
made them savage, and the breed
seems to have increased in both size
and courage, for eventually they be
came SO fierce that they would stand
and show fight toward anyone who in
vaded their homes. They are curious
looking creatures. The front legs be-
ing shorter than their hind legs causes
them to make big jumps as they go
about, yet it is said they can easily out
run an ordinary dog. The cats make
good fishers, and when fish are p1enti-
ful they go along the beach, and, as
the breakers run up on the shore, car
rying with them small butterfish, null
lets and silver bait, they jump into the
shallow water and with their sharp
claws pin fish to the sand and the
outgoing wave leaves their prey eX-
posed. Then, before another breaker
can roll in, they catch the fish and
take it up on the dry beach and de YOUR
it. At times dozens of these stran ge-
looking cats can be seen on the beach
making meals off the surf CLAIMS that
are cast up by the tide. For the past
twenty or thirty years Long Beach has
been famous summer resort. Many
of the cats have been killed by tourists
or frightened back into the swamps.
Occasionally some humane visitor en-
deavors to tame one of the animals.
1t is hard work, but when the effort
is successful there is no more domestic
or affectionate pet than Manx cat.

WHISKY TRULY SANCTlFIED.
"A Flask Is Walled Up in a New jersey
Church.


Church.
The distinction of having q quart
flask of whisky walled up in the
structure belongs to the Sacred Heart
church of this city, says New Bruins
wick special to the New York Sun. AL
though the church has been built for
over ten years, this was not generally
known until recently. Ten years ago
last October the corner stone of the
church was laid, and the work of
building the edifice was pushed as rap
idly as possible, so that before the
dawn ofthe new year the walls were up
TO the first story. The cold was in
tense at this time, and some of the
rnasons employed on the building ac-
quircd the habit of depending upon
stimulants to keep their blood in circu-
lation. Consequently a large quart
flask was brought into requisition, and
frequent trips were made from time to
time to a hotel to keep it filed
with the enlivening fluid. The men
had their whisky with great regular
ity until an incident occurred unex-
pectedly one day that upset their cal
culations for the time being.
The flask had just been replcnished,
and the men were making ready to en-
JOY it, when they were startled by the
sudden appearance of Father Mulligan
in company with several other ecclesi-
astics, who had come to make an in
spectiOn of the progress of the work.
The man who had the flask happened
to be quick-witted, or the secret would
have been out. Without a moments
hesitation he quickly slowed the flask
in between the inner and outer walls,
their work, consoiing themselves with
the thought of the good cheer that
awaited them when the visitors de-
parted. They reckoned in vain.
Father Mulligan and his friends re-
manned close to where the men were
working for long time.s Although
the wall was gradually inciosing the
precious whisky bottle, the masons did
not dare stop work for fear of exciting
suspicious.
When the party finally took its de-
parture, to their dismay the masons
found that the flask was out of sight,
and all efforts to get it were unavail-
ing. They did not dare tear the wall
down to get it, SO the whisky remained
in the wall, and the filling of cement
sealed it securely.
The men who were engaged in erect
ing the building lived out of town, and
the story of the flask was recalled sew
eral days ago, when one of the men,
who was visiting this city, went to the
church to attend service, and thus had
the incident brou ght to his memory.

He RUINED tho BUSINESS.

American temperance agitators would
not enjoy them selves in Austria. A
native of a small village, after long
cataleptic trance, year ago, declared
that he had been to Heaven and had
been commissioned by the Almighty
to return and teach the peasants the
wiclkedness of drinking spirits Soon
the entire village took an oath of total
abstinence. The district governor COM
NIT ed the nan to the madhouse, where
the doctors kept him for six months
and then declared him sane. He re-
sumed his agitation and In short
time seven villages had taken vows of
abstinence. The result was that num-
Der of liquor dealers TO whom the gov
ernment had granted licenses refused
to keep their contracts The district
judge gave orders that the dangerous
agitater be arrested If caught preach
ing abstinence. s.,A .......s,

Correspondence of the Sentinel
SHORE, April 1S.-As to the dam
age to nursery stock | cannot say
that it has been very heavy. Can
tell better later on AS to the fruit
crop, there will be q considerable
amount Of apples yet if not damaged
any more. Peaches and cherries,
also pears, plums and apricots are
almost complete failures Grapes
from present appearances will he
very fair crop. There is an un-
usually fine crop OF Strawberries.
The crop from present appearances
will be immense. Berries are now
nearly ready for market. AS to
treatment of trees and plants since
the sold snap, just let them alone
for the present, except to give them
good cultivation, unless in case, as
some claim, that some pear, ounce,
aud cherry trees are killed by the
cold. If so cutting them off just
above the ground will cause young
thrifty shoot to come up and make
"a good tree. [ will let you hearfrom
me later as to the damage to stock.

S. p. SMITH, of Towanda, Pa,
whose constitution was completely
broken down, is cured by Ayers
Sarsaparilla. He writes:
"For eight years, was, most of the
time, great sufferer from constipa-
tion, kidney trouble, and indiges-
tion, so that my constitution seemed
to be completely broken down. I was
induced to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with such
excellent results that my stomach,
bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con-
dition, and, in all their functions, as
regular as c1ock-work. At the time
began taking Ayers Sarsaparilla, my
weight was only 129 pounds; I now can
brag of 159 pounds, and was never in SO
good health. If you could see me be-
fore and after using, you would want
me for a travelling advertisement.
I believe this preparation of Sarsaparilla
to be the best in the market to-day"
