cisco.

San Francisco April S0-Mrs. Booth
Tucker the consul of the Salvation Army,
in America, is very i'll, and 1t is doubtful
whether she will be able to keep her en-

fuckers illness is a kind of a reflex of
her trip to India. While there she was
taken whit the Asiatic cholera and. al
though recovery seemed complete at the
time, she has been a sufferer annually
from the fleets of the disease. On arrival
here she took no precautions in view of
the change of climate and this caused the
symptoms to appear again.
Her physical ailments. united to the
great nervous strain she has been under
since her arrival in this country, the loss
of her child and the detection of her
brother from the army have caused COM
plete breakdown. and the attending ply
sician has ordered rest as the only cure.
