Health Officer Porter Is Serene.

Jacksonville, Fla. July t6.--Dr. Y. E. Porter, the state health officer, arrived in the city this morning from Tampa. In speaking of the general health of the state, Dr. Porter said it was about as usual at this season of the year. There was no dangerous disease spreading any where, nor was there any anticipated. Dr. Porter also said it was a mistake to suppose that because a large body of troops had been imported into Cuba that yellow fever was on the increase there. In fact he said it was less than at this time last year. and there would probably be no increase. The gulf coast is being watched. said Dr. Porter, for smugglers and their crafts. The state board of health'a boat, Germ assisted by the inter- nal revenue cutters, were keeping a close watch on all incoming crafts from the West India islands
 Dr. Porter confirmed the report of the battle of the quarantine boat Germ with a number of smuggling smac1s off Tar pon springs few days ago.

DEATHS THICK AND FAST.
Alarming Reports From Cuba Received by the Marine Hospital Service-One Weeks
 Terrible Record.

Washington, July 16.--The reports re- ceived today by the marine hospital ser vice from Cuba show an alarming in- crease in the number of deaths from vel low fever. Reports have heretofore GOV cred period of two weeks. but the one received today covers but one week. and shows that from June 30 to July there were twenty-five deaths reported from Santiago de Cuba, and for the week from July to July II twenty cases and eight deaths at Havana. The great increase, in the death rates in the neighborhood of Santiago is said to be due to the nli- tary operations which are in progress in the vicinity of that city, and the presence there of large numbers of u.l- acclimated soldiers. For the week fn6fh June 2S to July there were nine deaths reported from Vera Cruz.

silver Bat a Drop In the Bucket.

Nonconformist.
A single plank silver platform is
not broad enough for Kansas Pop
ulist to get onto with one foot-say
nothing of standing up well-braced
on two No. los. Free silver would
be beneficial no doubt, as an indi-
cation that the criminal policy OF
contraction was not to be continued
until everything but gold was value
less but it would fall far short of
being panacea for all national ills.
The increase of the currency vol
ume to $50 for each unit of popu-
lation, the government ownership Of
mines and transportation lines, the
fight against monopolies and alien
ownership of large tracts of land
land are each of vast Importance,
and of equal magnitude with the
silver question. Rather than take
plank out of the Omaha platform ]
say add equal rights for women, and
absolute prohibition of the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors.
The last item alone would save to
the people about 1000, 100000
annually more than the difference
between "good times and bad" and
three times the necessary cost OF
running the government, to say
nothing of what it would save by
the diminution of crime. Free sill
yer is but drop in the bucket.
Kansas Populists are generally
for every plank in the Omaha plat
form and every letter in the party
name. l have no patience with the
Facilitating, weakened faction who,
because victory does not immediate
ly perch on the standard of right,
want to change and try something
else. let us work and wait.

JUST A ONE CHILD.

There's something comes just where swallow,
When the nice little children go by;
try to forget why my eyes get so wet,
For it surely is foolish to cry.
But all Of them do seem so happy,
1t makes me feel dreadful to see
How all of the others have sisters and brothers
And amt just one child like me-
The other girls pushes wee babies,
And brothers takes hold of their dress.
/ cannot see why, up there in the sky,
God doesn't take notice, unless
have been, at some time, much too naughty
To trust with soul from above
But o, I do pray, that He kindly may,
Forgive, and send some one to love.
My mother laughs ever so wisely.
She says that one child will do,
But papa feels bad whenever Pm sad,
Pm quite sure he'd like to have two.
look at the others-so lonesome
am when see all their glee.
They may jump and sing, for the very worst thini
Is to be just one child like me.

Tnklin' o. the dewdrops ON the daisies every day;
An the clouds are ookin' whiter an the sap is in

An the sun is beamin brighter an is colorin' the
Singin of the mockn' birds where wild the blossoms
blow;
Fifty million roses in perfect storm O. snow
An all the groves reoicin, and all the greenn hills
A-lookn glad and giddy with the rattle O. the rs
There's twinkle in the naples, there's whisper in
the pines,
AM the hummin birds is is huntin for the mornn'

There's thrill of life pervadn' all the mountains

An musics in the breezes when the cattle shake the
bells.
Oh, the country's CROWN brighter, an the world in
glory rolls;
The sunshine's streamin' whittier through the win.

THE MONOPOLISTS' HYMN.

Let us corner up the sunbeams
Lying all around our path
Get trust on wheat and roses
Give the poor the thorns and chaff;
Let us make our chiefest pleasure
Hoarding bounties of to-day,
While the poor shall have scant measure,
And two prices have to pay.
Yes, we'll reservoir the rivers,
And we'll levy on the lakes,
And we'll lay a trifing poll tax
On each poor man who partakes.
Yes, we'll brand his number on him,
That he'll carry through his life;
Well apprentice all his children,
Get mortgage on his wife.
Yes, we'll capture e'en the wind.god
And confine him in cave,
And by our patent process
We the atmosphere will save.
Thus we'll squeeze our little brother
When his lungs he tries to fill
Put meter on his windpipe,
And present our little bill.
Yes, we'll syndicate the starlight,
And monopolize the moon,
Claim royalty on restdays,
A proprietary noon;
For light of way through ocean spray
Well charge just what it's worth;
Well drive our stakes around the lakes
In fact, we own the earth. Elk.

Ernst Perabo's Letter to Chickering s. Son.
"Please receive, however late, my
sincere tribute to the wonderful grand
you gave me for the Kneisel Soiree on
November 21st 1t was one of the greatest
treats I ever experienced to have SO
sympathetic an agent to help me in a
most serious battle, always unusually
fatiguing when Rubenstein is the
general The action was agreeable, the
grading even and the tone most noble
and soulful. Since thirty years I have
played the Chickering pianos, and love
them for their beauty Of tone and even
ness of action. I have done some difficult
work in public, and have always found
this manufacture the truest friend in my
hour of technical trials
The grand aeove alluded to was used by
Mr.. Perabo in his recital at Kotzsohmar
hall last Monday night, and is now on
exhibition at Chickerlng & Sons, 583
Congress street. An invitation is ex-
tended to all musicians to call and ex-
anime it before it leaves Decem Der 81.
