QUARANTINE AND COMMON SENSE.

One of our numerous island cor
respondents wants to know why, if
Honolulu requires an eighteen day
quarantine for Storage passengers
from the Orient, an objection
should be made when the people
Of Kauai, for instance, demand an
eighteen day quarantine of all
passengers coming from Honolulu.
Very likely this query appears
sound sense in the minds of those
who have not stopped to think or
to study into the quarantine regu-
lations of the general run of civil
lied nations. The eighteen days
quarantine in vogue at this port is
required as guard against small
pox, and is in fact the longest term
of quarantine required for any of
the list Of contagious diseases. In
the United States the quarantine
period for smallpox is placed at
fourteen days.
For the benefit of some of the
residents of the other islands who
are establishing regulations pecu.
iarly to themselves, we quote the
following from the quarantine laws
and regulations issued by the
United States Treasury Depart
ment:
Storage passengers coming from
cholera-infected districts must be de-
tanned five days in suitable houses or
barracks located where there is no
danger from infection, and all bag
gage disinfected as hereinafter pro-
vided; the said period Of five days to
begin only after the bathing of the
passengers, dIsinfection of all their
baggage and apparel, removal of all
food brought with them, and isolation
from others not 80 treated.
Prior to sailing from ports infected
with cholera, each passenger of the
cabin class should produce satisfactory
evidence as to his exact place OF abode
during the five days Immediately pre-
ceding embarkstion, and If it appear
that he or his baggage has been ex-
posed to contagion such passenger
should be detained such length of
time as shall be deemed necessary by
the inspecting officer, aud the baggage
be disinfected.
"Should. cholera break out in the
barracks or houses IN which the pas
seDgers are undergoing the five days
isolation, no passengers from said
house or barracks should embark until
five days isolation from the last case
and repetition OF the sanitary mea-
sures previously taken"
From the foregoing it will be
noted that five days is the limit of
the quarantine period, also that
our Board of Health in dealing
with cabin passengers for the other
islands has followed out the regu-
lations which the United States
lays down for Storage passengers,
or in other words it has taken
every precaution prescribed by
modern science. The same strict
regulations have been observed in
dealing with what little freight is
allowed to go from this port. The
people of Hawaii, Maui or Kauai

WHILE there may not be "any
particular danger" in the Chinese
wash houses in their present loca-
ton, it cannot be said that this
public eyssore adds to the attrac-
tons of the city or that it is con-
ducive to good sanitary condition.
The public will be quite as relieved
when the wash houses, in their
present condition, are put out of
existence as it was when the fish
market was reduced to smouldering
ruins.

R. B. BOWLER, the Comptroller
of the United States Treasury, has
decided not to pay the sugar boun-
ties. He holds that the law max
ing the appropriation is unconsti-
tutional. If this decision is sus-
tanned by the courts, the tariff on
sugar will probably be maintained
by the Republicans.

Zealandia May Come.

A private letter by the Coptic
stated that the Zealandia might
come down instead of the Australia,
as repairs to be made on the latter
would require more time than was
at first expected. From reports
gathered here the Zealandia is in
no condition for sea.
Messrs. Irwin & Co., agents of
the Oceanic Company, knew moth
ing of the change.

THE last flibuster story comes
from Chicago. Advices do not

out in Labrador to sail around
Cape Horn and pick up recruits on
the way.

Timely Topics

The rapid development of
the killing power of weapons
has been a source of great ex-
pense to various governments
during the last fifteen years.
Such progress has been
made in the development of
small arms, that ten men arm
ed with modern rifles, equal
in fighting efficiency five or
six times their numbers armed
in the old style.
The new armament as put in
operation in the Chinese-Japan
war showed a tremendous de-
structive power, but as yet the
most terrible and most modern
contrivances of battle have not
received practical tests in act
ual conflict. The new Maxim
gun, it is said, practically
means that two armies equip
ped with these weapons and
placed opposite each other,
would destroy one another al
most at the first discharge.
This is magnificent, but it is
not war. The logical conclu-
sion would be the disarma-
ment of the world, but it is
doubtful whether such a happy
issue will be reached, until ex-
perience has demonstrated the
actual necessity for the preser-
walton of the numerical balance
of sexes among civilized ma
tons.
Still the world moves on,
still the progress of science
forces its way to the front the
manufacturers are gradually
but surely reaching their acme
of perfection at tremendous
strides, as is demonstrated to-
day in the manufacture of arti-
cles for the emancipation of
manhood from the more ener-
waiting Of labors.
We ask no higher tribute to
the popularity of the MONARCH
WHEELS, than to the fact that
while we have had cholera rag
ing in our midst and unless we
used more than ordinary pre-
we might place our
selves liable to contraction of
the disease, we have kept on
selling Monarch bicycles.
If people whose lie hangs
in the balance can afford to
invest in a bicycle in order
that they may enjoy the few
passing hours that are left to
them, it illustrates very forci-
bly, the high opinion they hold
Of a MONARCH BICYCLE.
The race is not always to
The swift may be a fact, but If
you have a good start and
mount, the chances are ten to
one in your favor. The Mon
ARCH and TRIBUNE BICYCLES
are the best desirable mounts.

Obituary.

Mrs. Mary Rowe Bolitho Croft died
early Monday morning, April %, 1895,
aged 81 years, after brief illness.
Mrs. Croft was born in Cornwall, Eng
land. In April, 1861, she came to this
country with her husband, James R.
Croft, settling in Baltimore. In 1864
Mr.. Croft died, aud the widowed lady
came to Frostburg the same year and
in 1865 opened the towns first millinery
and fancy goods store. She was,
therefore, our pioneer milliner, aud
for 30 years her store and superior
taste had been the resort and guide
for many followers of fashion. Per-
sonallv Mrs. Croft was lady of fine
presence, and socially entertaining
and amiable. A daughter, Miss
Minnie c., and son, Alfred R., survive
to mourn one whose early and latter
years were alike centred in their well
fare. The funeral took place Wednes-
day morning at St. Johns p. E.
church, Rev. A. C. Haverstick officiat-
ing. The pall-bearers-al family
connexions, were DR.. g. Fl. Hooking,
of Mt. Savage; William Hooking, of
Laughlin Heights, Md. Alexander
and G. d. Hooking, and William and
Charles Jeffries, of this place.

The Creek With Us.

The JOURNAL has been deluged this
week with letters from along the Creek
applauding last weeks roast of Cum
berland. All endorse the article in
toto, including the ''iibels," islanders"
and ''indecencies. SO that when Cum
berland comes to hold 1.-The great
paper" to account, she will! to have add
to Cumberland attorneys and judges
a distinctively Cumberland jury.
And when ''the great paper is dis
posed of, the whole Creek will then
have to undergo the same ordeal.
Later-The Homecoming Star has ar
rived with a cargo of corroboratory
intelligence. For instance:
1t would seem that nothing more can be
added to the arraignment of Cumberland by
the JOURNAL of last week, nor will the Star
attempt to add to what has been so ably
printed in that paper, and which we have the
pleasure of laying before our own readers
this week, but we want to assure the JOUR-
NAL that the Star and the people in this end
OF the region are with it in its good work.
Not that the JOURNAL needs any backing in
the discussion of this subject, but we feel dis
posed to voice the sentiment of our people,
which is entirely in sympathy with the views
set out in that paper. The people of the
Cheek are with you, JOURNAL, and so far as
the Star is concerned, the press also.
Still later-The Homecoming Rerieao
has arrived.

A Fine Performance.

The third concert of the Arion band
Tuesday evening was given before an
audience which quite filled the lower
floor of Ravenscrofts' Opera House.
Under the direction of Prof. Conliff,
the Bands own performances were
most excellent. So also those of the
orchestra, quartette, quintette, and
mandolin and guitar club. Miss Matte
Thomas furnished piano accompan-
iments and executed difficult solo
with her usual grace and proficiency.
Messrs. Harry Longbottom, Charles
Lantz and Edwin Walker, of Cumber-
land, added very largely to the variety
and elegance of the concert by ex.
hibitions of instrumental skill upon the
fairy bells, picolo, and piano. For
some reason the Philharmonic Quar-
tette" did not appear in the two mum.
bers to which they were assigned.
Prof. Conliff, lately member of Gill
more's great band, is musician of
exceptionally high attainments, and
under his direction the Arion is now
probably the very best band in the

Neecs knows a good adjective when he

In moment of forgetfulness on Saturday

The JOURNAL has taken great pains
to say that if the Cumbella land firemen
do not hold that grand ball during
the convention here, they wont be
hogs.
But if they do hold it they will have
their noses and front feet right in
the dishes that we are going to set for
heroes.
1t rests altogether with them, there
fore, whether 1.-The JOURNAL can fnd''
