ORIGIN Of Cholera.
Buda Pesth. Sept 9.-At the session
of the hygenic congress Saturday an
Interesting paper on cholera was read
by Ernest Harris. He argued that the
disease came from the valley Of the
Ganges, where there Is a disregard OF
sanitary precautions, and where the
people habitually drink polluted water.
DR.. Harris said It seemed certain that
persons could touch and even rub chol-
era patients with, impnity. The dan
ger consisted Of the swallowing OF the
bacilll. which Or. Harris contended live
two lives, one in the human body
multiplying within the patient and
poured forth by him abundantly. and
the other outside the body, In damp
ground, dirty water. linen, etc, TO
be swallowed by some one else In or

Cholera, he said, Is spread broadcast by
pilgrims to Mecca aud elsewhere. The
government OF India must watch the
fairs and festivals In that country and
Europe, by international agreement
should guard the pilgrim track by
isolating early cases The sultan OF
Turkey ought to adopt measures for
the thorough sanitation OF Mecca, which
is a nursery OF cholera.
Upon the conclusion OF the reading
OF the paper a resolution was adopted
expressing the full approval OF the
congress OF the Dresden convention re-
specting the disease. Some disagree

 Athlete and Oarswoman.

The Hartford Post says that Tillie Ashley, pretty blond haired girl of that city, is the best all round female athlete and oarsman in New England, if not in the United States. To one of it's reporters, who found her iii Wa ters shell, dressed modestly but suitably for rowing, she said: ''To see the men and little boys stare you would think they had never seen a girl dressed this way before. You admire my stroke, did you say? Well, men who know tell me that I use my back excellently. know that l row with my legs and back rather than with my arms, and MT. Atherton tells me that is right. See?' And Tillie took one long sweeping stroke that sent her shell darting through the water as if from eatapult
 You will notice," she continued when she had brought her boat back to where the reporters craft was anchor ed, that slid as far forward on the seat as possible and pushed the oars through the water with my legs and back, using my arms for but little other purpose than to guide the oars. I was born in Christiania, 23 years ago, of poor but honest parents, as the story books say. My father was very large and muscular man and my mother a large woman, so come by my strength naturally.

rhe New Order of Women.

Junius Henri Browne is Q recent ar ticle, entitled "The New Order of Women, says that it is roughly esti- mated that more than 9, 800, 900 of women, independent of servants, earn wages in the entire republic. The wage earners in the metropolis are estimated to be between 70, GOO and 80, 900, exelu- sive of servants. and these are, as throughout the state, not only self sup porting, but provide support for others. Almost the universal rule has been found to be that wherever man or woman has demonstrated his or her ability to take care of himself or her self others have been most willing to live on his or her bounty. In no part of the world, not in America even, is any capable, industrious person allowed to provide for himself alone. The race of greedy pensioners is ubiquitous. It would be most galling to masculine pride if we knew how very many women in this republic supply by their own toll the bread that is eaten by able bodied men.

 His son, the late Sir Richard Sutton, inherited his fathers tastes and was one of the gallant band which patri- otieally journeyed across the Atlantic. His cutter, Genesta, carried off several handsome guerdons in these waters, but she was defeated by the Puritan for the coveted international trophy.
 It was on such vessels as these and surrounded by such influences that Miss Sutton passed her earliest years. Her first practical experience of racing dates from 1891, when she and her sister owned the one half rater Eileen between them. Next year the sisters dissolved partnership, Miss Maud Sutton pre- ferring Pique, while her sister came to America for the felieitously named f1ier Wee Winn.
