St. Johns Day.

miles in both directions, to partici- pate in the festivities held here in honor of St. Johns day. 1t was jol- ly crowd, filled with music and hilari- ty. Squads of horsemen rode up and down the streets, singing Mexican songs, and several times during the day everybody made for the race track, where the merits and speed ofyarious horses were decided by actual test.
 In the morning there were four races, two in the afternoon. The first race was between Clark's gray, John Hill riding, and Orosco's bay, with Chino Orosco in the saddle-distance POO yards--won by the gray. The sec ond race was a quarter mile dash, be- tween Malkam's bay horse, John Hill up, and Heney's gray, with Orosco riding. Hill again rode the winner. The third race was between the win ner of the second, and Rosa's black horse, ridden by Apple. The black was the winner. The fourth contest was between Martinez's black, ridden by Montgomery, Salcido's gray, with Romero up, and Orosco's bay with Orosco in the saddle. The Salcido horse won. The first race in the af- ternoon was between Clark's gray, with Oresco riding, and Pinas bay ridden by the owner. The gray bolt ed the track, but with no little skill and good riding Orosco got him back on the course, and had it been few yards longer would have won. As it was he was beaten only by nose. The last race was between Clark's gray and a sorrel mare from St. David's. Montgomery rode the gray, and Hill the sorrel. The gray won. The races were all hotly contested, most of them very close, and considerable money changed hands.
 After the races the old diversion of picking rooster was indulged. A live rooster was buried in the ground, leaving his head and neck above the surface, and in turn each horseman in the crowd rode by at full speed, and leaning from the saddle reached for the head. The rooster, of course, dodged the hand thrust at him, suc- cessfully evading it long time. At the end of about twenty minutes a man named Mendoza, caught the head and picked the bird out of the ground.
 At evening ball was given which was largely attended by the Mexican population, and everyone enjoyed 1t greatly. It terminated one of the liyeliest and most.successful ,celebra- tions of the day at Benson in many years.

CHOLERA IN 1894.

Ka9ssa aa nslsSst tS Ef SEsss Ts l ssa =
For rover two years the Asiatic cholera
has been epidemic in western Russia,
but as we have had reports of the sub
sidence of it's ravages during the win
ter months there was hope that there
might not be a recurrence this spring of
the unhappy experiences of that season
in 1892 and 1893. We regret that the
dispatches at hand are unfavoIable.
There have been violent outbreaks of
the disease during the past week at a
number of the populouS centers OF the
western provinces, one of the most vio-
lent of them as far west as the city of
Warsaw, and from that place both Ger
many and Austria are again directly
menaced.
There is reason, therefore, to fear
that New York will have to be ON the
guard for yet another year, and that
there will be need for the utmost vigi-
lance on the part Of the officers of our
quarantine service. We do not doubt
the ability of these officers to maintain
the safety of the city.
1t is to be hoped that the European
governments represented in the interna-
tional sanitary commission which has
held conference in Paris will provide
for the prompt execution of those de-
fensive measures which have met with
the approval of the delegates. This au-
thoritative' commission was organized
for the express purpose Of preparing an
anticholera programme acceptable to the
leading powers of the world. and it will
be public shame If the recommended
tions II has made this year shall be neg
lected, as were those made at its session
Of last year. New York Sun.

Three Men Taken From an Ice R1oe which
Was Carrying Them TO Certain Death.
Captain L. O. Lawson, William r.
Kay and w. wv. Wilkinson, members ok
the Evanston life saving crew, had i
narrow escape from death the other
morning while attempting to clear an
chor ice away from the waterworks in
let. The men were in small rowboat
and were caught between large cakes Of
Goating Ice and carried two miles out
into the lake. After hard fight with
the floating Ice they were rescued by q
volunteer party consisting OF Sam Pee
ney, chief engineer at the Evanston wa
terworks; John Moore, the lighthouse
keeper, and Bob Skyles and Byron Daw-
son, firenaen at the waterworks.
Early In the morning water was rum
ming very slowly into the large main.
and fearing another water famine Cap
tain Lawson and his companions started
for the intake, which is one mile off
shore. A heavy wind had been blowing
inshore all night before, and the shore
was lined with great cakes or ice. Aft
err working hard the men succeeded ia
launching their boat and started
through the bobbing cakes for the inlet.
When about half the distance had been
covered, the men noticed that the wind
had changed and was blowing hard
from offshore, and that large field of
ice was forming in a solid mass about
their little craft and floating rapidly
out into the lake. Pike poles were used,
but it soon became apparent that unless
some aid came soon they would be car
ried far ont.
A white handkerchief was tied to an
oar, and the men took turns waving it.
The signal was seen by John Moore,
who was at work at the top of the light
house tower. He hurried to the water
works, short distance away, and told
Engineer Peeney, and both men, realiz-
ing the danger in which their comrades
were, called Skyles and Dawson, and
hurriedly manning another boat the
four men started to the rescue. The Off
shore wind by this time had cleared the
shore water, and the rescuing party
soon reached the ice foe, In the center
OF which was the boat containing the
three men. A life line was thrown
across to the prisoners, and one after am
other they jumped from cake TO cake
and reached the rescuing boat. They
were forced TO abandon their own boat,
which was fast in the Ice. The men
were all brought to the waterworks Of
ice. Chicago Record.
