The debasing, brutalizing intiu-
ence of excessive drinking and sa-
loon environment falls upon the la
boring classes Of our people with
more disastrous effect than upon
those better favored by fortune.
The dreadful vice of intemperance
has made frightful havoc among
our hardworking peoll lc. What else
but this spendthrift vice could al
flict large portion OF our people
with poverty SO hopeless as to be
like an incurable disease, a people
to whom countless millions are
yearly paid? What else huddles
so many Of them into the swarmlng
tenement houses? ! make no odl-
Gus comparison between the intem-
perance Of the wealthy and the In
temperance Of the poor. The
Iheathenish vice Of drunkenness is
an abomination wherever its foul
presence is known. only state q
fact which cannot be set aslde-a
fact which the philanthropist anc
the statesman cannot ignore-name
lv. that the greatest curse blightlnt
the lives and desecrating the homes
Of the poor in this country to-day Il
the curse of drink.
The homes Of comfort and luxur.
are, alas, too often blighted by th'
presence Of the demon of intemper
ance. and drunkenness among th'
weather. classes Of people is equal
Ily odious and even more disgrace
full than among the poor. But tn
poor are greater sufferers, and henc
enlist our deeper sympathy whel
Iintemperance blights their lives
for, in addition to the heartache an
sorrow which the vice entails upo
rich and poor, it adds the horror
Of penury, bcggary and hopeles
degradation to the lives Of the chi

10 Suggests that Attending Physicians be
Consulted by the Health OGlCer.
10 he Editor Of me IHtsLtgtHcer,
sIR:-I desire to say word or two
about tho wild aud criminal rumors
that arc being circulated concerning the
smallpox in the city. For two or three
days the most absurd aud ridiculous re-.
ports were set alloat that daughter OF
Mrs. TheuriCh, on North Main street,
was down with malignant smallpox,
and that the case was concealed from
the authorities. The girl is patient OF
mine, and has very light attack Of
scarlet fever, known to the laity as
"scarlet rash" l. answered all ques.
tons propounded, and quietod-the fears
OF all pergons who knew me well enough
TO rely on my word. But it seems that
some ono, who paid more attention to
sensational rumors than to the state
ment of tho family physician, notified
the health officer OF tho presence OF a
suspicious case. He. OF course, was in
duty bound to investigate tho matter
and do all he could to preserve tho safety
OF the city. Having done this, no found
that my statement was correct, and
that the rumor was utterly without
foundation.
Now, with all duo respect to our pre-
sent health officer, who is peraoual
friend OF mine, and the very best man
the city could have selected for that
position, beg leave to oher sugges-
ton relative TO such cases. When a
case Of this kind is brought to the Rt.
tGntiOn oil tho authorities, would it not
be advisable to ascertain who ls tho at
tending physician, and then act in con.
cert with him, especially il he is in
good standing with tho profession? The
neglect OF this precRution is sometimes
very fur-ruaChingin its results itretierts
on the physician in attendance, as
showing q want OF confidence in his
ability or his reCtitude; for, II tho ply
BiCian knew aud did not report it no
was dishonest or culpAbly negligent; or
il he did not know it altar several days
treatment he must be regarded as in.
com petent. Besides, II tho health 9TH
Ger is seen to 20 into such house fully
equipped for visiting case OF smallpox,
without being accompanied by the at.
tending physician, it would tend to con.
firm tho rumors, as many people who
saw 1t would fail to notice that no yel-
low flag was placed on the house,
But, now, suppose thing were to
happen, which. although not likely, is
nevertheless possible: that the patient,
rendered weak and moro susceptible OF
Contagion by sickness. should contract
the disease from the suit worn by the
health officer, who would screen tho at.
tending physician from the charge OF
having treated case for scarlet fever
which turned out to DO smallpox
make these rs modest suggestions,
without intending the least reflection on
my very dear friend, tho present health
officer, taking it for granted that he did
not look at ii in that light.

After "a Inspsssisa 81 ths Case 10 This
CITY, Have slight EEsst at BsIlAirs.
The people down a. BslIIiIs are ttll
very much exercised over psriOnI from
Wheeling gaIng into that town. appar-
entity believing that all must cary
smallpox Ia their clothes. Ihs partIal
quarantine rule made by the board OF
health there seemed 20 incense them,
aud they appealed 20 the city couneil.
That body has no power except 10 con.
arm q new board OF health, but instead
OF doing that the council passed TsSolu'
lions alleging the culpEble negligence
OF authorities Of Wheeling In the past
And requesting the board Of health 10
declare rigid quarantine against
Wheeling unlil such time as
Wheeling authorities shall enlOTce
hlriCtsr Tules 10 tho care and
isolation OF the smallpox in that city,"
The health board, however, decided
to await the arrival OF DR.. Frobsl, OF tho
state board vi health, before taking
further action. DR.. Probst arrived yes

tions very much better than he had ex'

said there might DO danger from per-
sons who had been exposed to tho dis.
ease prior to the last two or three days,
aud that II quarantine was declared ho
thought It unnecessary 10 maintain u

no would not advise for or against quar-.

In reply to ono question he said ho
thought tho state board Of health would
not quarantine against Wheeling uHdcr
present circumstances, aud in reply to
another question no said 1t would I'M
doubleday DO safer to quarantine. Dr..
ProbSt assumed no responsibility for
what might or might not be done by
the Bellaro board OF health, but left
them FREQ to act Tor themselves. His
report, however, OF the number OF cases
in Wheeling and of DR.. Jepson'a rules
and regulations had tho effect OF saving
rigid quarantine, and tina board de-
Cided to strictly enforce their former
order preventing the advent Of per.
sons or property into that city from tho
injected portions Of Wheeling or other
places. This ia modification OF the
wording OF the first resolution, as 1t was

Isaac W. Avery. one Of the three special

that the government has made prelim-
mary appropriation Of $4,000 in gold
toward making an exhibit Of it resour-
ces At the expedition in Atlanta this
fall. General Avery writes that in most
Of the South American countries be has
encountered considerable opposition
among certain business elements, which
cav no good in encouraging closer buai-
nese relations With the United States,
which they argued would benefit the
United States At the loes Of the bust.
ness interests of the South American
countries. This opposition has been
everywhere silently aggressive and in
6uentia!. and hard to either placate Or
conquer, and has been especially strong
in those larger and Weather countries !;
but it had gradually yielded to the true
consideration that the interests, With
the established facilities. must take the
cream Of all new business created BY
this undertaking OF the United States.
The newspaper OF Chilli have been very
active in urging an appropriation, and
the leading chambers OF commerce have
advocated it. The Argentine Republic
has alreadv appropriated $50 900 in
gold, and Venezuela, Brazil, Uruguay
and Bolivia have already sent Official
acceptance Of the invitation to partici-
pate.
