Review of the Market by Il. G. McPeak

Fort Worth. Tex, May Is.
Liverpool at 2 p. m. showed an adj
vance OF 1858 on favorable advices from
ManeheSter. Spots In the market were
also up 1-22 with 5000 sales. This
brought about a better feeling on this
slde and New York, while showing
only two points advance at the opening,
yet quickly scored an additional ad-
vance OF five points. at which there
was considerable realizing on the part
OF longs, and prices gradually gave
lowest point of the day, and two points
below last night Sales $4,000. Spots
We're dull and unchanged. Sales 9s3.
Liverpool closed quiet and unchanged
from the p. m. market.

Cholera to Be Kept
Off Shore.
Strict Quarantine to Be
Maintained.
Tho Dread Disease Prevalent In
Honolulu and the Orient
San Trancisco Board OF Health Par
ticularly strict at Present.

BAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17.-Three vessels
are at the quarantine station at Angel
Island. They are the Pacific Mail steamer
City OF Rio de Janeiro, the Honolulu pack
ct 8. o. Allen, and the British ship Meri-
oneth, from the port OF Rio de Janeiro.
are hard at work fumigating passengers,
baggage, freight, ballast and vessels. The
utmost pains are being taken TO prevent
the introduction Of cholera from Homo
lulu or the Orient.
When the Rio de Janeiro left Nagasaki,
the cholera was prevailing, and in two
weeks there had been II cases and 81
deaths. The steamer did not go to the
dock at Nagasaki, but everything she
took on board was transferred to her
by boat. In a similar manner, she took
goods that had come by steamer from
that no whites had taken the cholera.
AT Yokohama there was cholera, but
according TO the captain. IL was not in
the city, but inland. In two weeks there
had been AZ cases and 35 deaths. The
steamer took cargo at Yokohama, con-
had suffered with the cholera at Yoko-
hama.
On arrival at Honolulu, every precau-
tion was taken. The steamer anchored
In the outer harbor, and did not have any
communication with the shore, except
by boat. At the time the cholera was IN
creasing.
The statement signed by Ellis Mills,
the consul general, gives the number of
cases as 5S, and the number OF deaths as
A.
The steamer did not use water from
Honolulu, even for washing the decks.
While in the outer harbor, the steerage
was fumifated with sulphur.
According to the statement OF the city
of.Rio de Janeiro's surgeon, there was not
q case of the disease on the vessel from
the time she left Hong Kong.
After listening TO this statement and
examining the papers offered in substan
tiation, DIR. Chambers gave II as his opin-
ion that, as more than seven days had
elapsed since the steamer left Honolulu,
there was no possibility Of the cholera
being carried after all the fumigation and
in spite OF all precautions taken. He
went to see the board of health, and was
overruled by that body, which recon-
mended the holding of the steamer and
her fumigation at the island The steamer
went to the Angel Island quarantine sta
tion, without even delivering her mails.

One of the attractions OF the Atlanta ex-
position will be specimens showing the
early origin Of chess and card playing. 1t
will be exhibited by Stewart Culin Of the
University of Pennsylvania. He has sent
"a upright casos and one large table case
containing the objects in n carefully ar
ranged series showing the evolution OF the
games. They tell the history of cards and
chess, beginning with the more primitive
forms known and extending 10 the pres
ent day. Mr.. Culin discovered cew to
the origin OF games among tho American
Indians.
The pack of cards Is shown to have orig.
inally consisted Of bundle of practical
arrows, marked with the signs of the
world quarters. The feathered part of these
arrows, bearing cosmical marks, was first
used In fortune telling, and from this use
the card games arose. In America the In
dians did not get beyond the use of carved
and painted staves. The American case
shows the practical arrows of the McCloud
river Indians OF California, marked with
colored ribbons by which they were dis
tinguished. Side by side with them ara
the gambling sticks Of the Haidas of Van
couver's island, similarly marked with
rings or color and used like cards in their
gambling even at the present day. In tho
adjoining case, devoted to eastern Asia,
the practice arrows of Korea are shown,
and with them the derived playing cards
here made of oiled paper, yet bearing, both
on the backs and faces devices copied from
the cut feathers of the arrows.
With them are Chinese cards with the
same emblems surviving ms markers or in
dexcs at the ends. These cards are double
headers, As indeed were the gambling
sticks, carrying back the idea of the COM
mon playing cards with double heads and
index marks to the most remote antiquity.

EAST PROVIDENCE.

There Is much talk about the crowded
condition of the schools In the Watche-
moket district. There is not a building
but that in some of the rooms there are
more scholars than can be seated at the
desks. In these rooms the scholars have
to be seated on the platform and in chairs
about the room. The most crowded of
the schools is the Mauran avenue prima-
ry. In each of the four rooms in this
building there are more scholars than can
be seated, and in one room where there are
but 80 seats, there are over 20 scholars
registered, and but one teacher to look
after them. There are several large recit-
alton rooms in the building, which are
not used at all, as there are no assistant
teachers In any OF the rooms.
