INsULTED THE JUSTICES.
A BOstOnian Arrested for Sending II
ScurriIous Postal Card.


Boston, June HI H. Bryant, a citizen
of Cambridge. was held in $500 to-day for
the United States grand jury for sending
a scurrilous postal card through the mails
to the justices of the United States su-
preme court at Washington. The card,
which was mailed on April 9, had the Bos-
ton postmark on it and was addressed ''to
the prostitute judges of the supreme bench
of the United States Washington, d. c."
On the back was written the following
after Judas had done his dirty job, he
had enough manhood left to return his
bribe, and then forever put himself be-
yond human right. His example is worthy
of your serious attention. Private income
from land is unmixed in justice as the same
springs from public effort and is beyond
the reach of private endeavor. No doubt
that millionaires needed to support their
lordly establishments in various parts of
the world and their luxurious harems that
float upon the seas. But millionaires have
always been a curse to all people in all
times-a deadly and far-reaching rot to
the entire gamut of morals. both public
and private You illustrate one phase of
that rot.
(Signed.) H. H. Bryant,
Somerville, Mass, April g. 1885,
Bryant has very strong views on the
matter of taxation and the income tax de-
cision at Washington is supposed to have
inspired the communication to the justices.

Stay-Hospital Empty.

Another day has gone by and no
new case of cholera reported. 1t is
believed that all traces Of the dread
monster will be entirely eradicated
after the cleaning of the city on
Monday. The community feel
deeply grateful to the Board of

have aided in stamping out the
disease.
The Board Of Health held no
meeting yesterday, for perhaps the
first time since the cholera ap-
peared, there being nothing to
discuss.
No decision has been reached
regarding declaring the quarantine
at an end. The Health Board will
likely consider the matter Monday.
An unofficial statement is to the
effect that the quarantine may be
discontinued in six days if no new
cases appear in that time.
According to yesterdays report
of DR.. Meyers, the attending physi-
clan at the cholera hospital, there
were no patients in the hospital,
five in the convalescent, and two
in the consolation wards.
