Wooing of Miss Anna Beggs,
BY KATHERINE BATES.

''No, said lawyer Anna Beggs, "no,
l shall never marry"
THAT is great pity" replied the
map to whom she was speaking, "for
you would make delightful home for
some lucky fellow"
The lawyer looked at him in sur
prise.
''Do you think so ?" she asked. 81
hardly agree with you, for / am not at
all domestic. You probably think SO
because it is your theory that women
should make homes"
"No, that isn't it," interrupted her
friend. 81 think you would make
delightful home"
Miss Beggs was silent; she crossed
her feet and slipped down in her
chair, meditating for little while.
At last she said: ooh, I think not"
"Why not?"
swell, it is generally held that one
OF the essentials of home is wifely
admiration for the head of the family.
1t is not my custom to admire men,"
"Ihat is true" admitted the man;
"but n mans admiration for his wife
goes long way toward making
home"
"That's another theory, isn't it?
Did you ever see n home properly
conducted without wifely admiration?"
'No; can't say that l ever did.
But l should be willing to try the ex-
pertinent if you would take me-"
'Take you? Are you proposing to
me, Henry West9"
"That's what am working up to-
l have intended for some years to do
it when you had time to listen. You
seemed trifle short of clients this
afternoon--the extreme cold, no doubt
so l deemed it good time to try
my luck. That is why i introduced
matrimony as q general topic; unless
it is positively disagreeable to you,
I'd now like to make it a special
one."
The lawyer sighed She was a
handsome woman, with very long
lashes to her dark grey eyes, ana she
dropped these convenient lashes as
she considered the matter.
"Well, if you must talk it ont I
suppose now is as good time as any
but l am disappointed in you, Henry.
l have known you for years, and I
have always counted on you as one of
the men who would not want to marry
me-"
"For a good many of those years
did not intend to want to, " said Henry.
apologetically. SIN fact, l thought
the men who were anxious to in spite
ofyour eccentricities, were great idiots,
but I have changed my mind"
"And You mani"
Eyes, but am not very much Of

ing to advance this afternoon-the
basis OF my argument. / have gone
over all the points in the case, and it
seems my best chance. l know that
am no better looking, no more en-
tertaining. have no better principles
and no more money than some OF the
men you have already refused; but

one point. You enjoy being a manly

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-The most

vice is advised by It's last report, there
are for,y-one cases and four deaths. IL
IS expected THAI within a very short
time the fever viii become epidemic, and
If it does not become yirulont in the city
OF Havana all previous experiences will
be set aside. The department has. how
eyer, received no advices 10 the effect
that cholera has appeared anywhere on

DATA HARD To OBTAIN.
The political war and it's relation 10
the sanitary condition OF Cuba is referred
TO in the last annual report OF Surgeon
General Wyman, and the statements then
made will represent the conditions Of
this summer only in a more aggravated
form. on this subject General Wyman
then said that the insurrection had In
terefered 10 great extent in the trans
mission Of exact Information from the
disturbed provinces and the normal condi-
tion Of health in tho island had been
largely modified by he presence or
great body OF non-lmmuned Spanish SOL
dlers These persons have taken the dis
ease and added to the natural number
Of cases annually prevalent in the Island.
The difficulties experienced last suomer
will be met with again this year Accu-
rate knowledge as to the number OF troops
stricken with tile disease IS denied by
the Spanish Government. The reports
from Havana last year showed a total
OF 1888 cases. and a mortality OF 30 per
cent.
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS.
This summer special precautions VIII be
taken TO prevent the Introduction from
cuba into the United States OF yellow
fever. Each Of the four revenue cutters
natroling the Florida coast carries sani-
tary inspectors 10 intercept fishing
smacks and other vessels coming direct
from Cuba with no intent TO enter ie-
gally any port Of entry. and also for tho
purpose Of intercepting any returning
nlibustering expedition or refugees seek
ing 10 land surreptitiously. Sanitary IN
spectors either have been or will be sta
toned permanently in Havana and San
tiago. and such inspectors will be sent
TO every seaport Of Cuba to report TO the
Marine Hospital service of the prevalence
Of yclow-feyer.
