In the first place, the citizens of all the
southern states have been affected in more
ways than they imagine by that defunct
institution Of slavery, of which many of
them have no personal knowledge They
are likewise affected today by the fact that
they are brought into perpetual contact
with free alien race, to whom they are
theoretically bound to allow legal and pc.
litical rights, hut to whom they cannot al
low social rights without the risk of dis
integrating their own civilization. They
are further affected by the fact that in
every locality and grade of society men
and women are to be found who represent
an old order of things, who inculoate So
cial and political principles alien to Amer
lean ideals, and who seek in every way to
foster sentiments that favor southern seq
regation and that antagonize the unity
ing forces at work in the rest of the ma
ton.
They are affected finally by the fact that
the dominant political party for many
years practically treated them as citizens
of section and by it's legislation welded
them into compact mass of Taxpayers,
who, rightly or wrongly, regarded them
selves as tribute payers The generation,
then, that has built up the south of today
is united by ties of sentiment and interest,
which, while not strong enough to endan-
ger the permanence of the Union, are
strong enough to have overcome till now
the forces that make for divergence and to
warrant the critic and historian in speak
ing of a southern people heterogeneous in
managers, hut homogeneous in idea.-W

TEN THOUSAND CASES
SEVERE SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC IN
JAPAN.
Official Reports Show that Nearly
Died-Naccination Insisted Upon.

Smallpox of virulent character pre-
walls in Japan to a greater extent than
has been known for n great many
years. There are probably 10000 cases
of the disease in the empire, ann it is
officially reported that nearly 1,400
persons have succumbed to the NAL
ady. Several of the larger cities are
afflicted to an extent which has
aroused the municipal authorities to
greater effort than was ever shown
before in connection with a trouble
that is almost as common here as is
the periodical earthquake. The disease
exists to particularly alarming de-
gree in the two largest citiesLTokyo,
the capital city, and Osaka, the prin-
cipal manufacturing city of the en-
pire.
The police have been very active in
Tokyo, and it isthought at least 1,000,-
900 of the 100000 inhabitants have
been vaccinated. Notwithstanding the
dangerous prevalence of the disease
there appears to be no disposition to
interfere with the people getting to-
gether in great numbers, as on the
occasion of the Empress Dowager' S
funeral.
The members of the imperial family
have all been vaccinated, and it is said
that with the Emperor the operation
has "taken" to an extent that keeps
him in his private apartments and
prevented the imperial family from at.
tending the Empress Dowager's fun
eral. Some little alarm was created al
the Parliament buildings n couple OF
days since by the surprising discovery
that a member of the Senate was TAX
en- ill in the Senate chamber, and an
examination showed smallpox clearly
defined and alarmingly well developed
The latest published statement gave
the number of cases and the deaths as

There are at least $50 cases in Yo-
kohama, yet this city is not mentioned
in the foregoing. 1t is entirely prob
able that there are fully 10000 cases
of smallpox in japan today. There has
been a meeting of prominent physi-
clans, when measures calculated to
prevent the spread of the disease were
discussed. The Government was
strongly urged to establish an Extra
ordinary Quarantine Board. 1t was
also declared that the scope of cpl
demic hospitals must be enlarged, and
that vaccination must be enforced
with great vigor Thus far but few
foreigners have caught the disease.

FEED THE NERVES

Upon pure, rich blood and you need
not fear nervous prostration. Nerves
are weak when they are improperly
and insufficiently nourished. Pure
blood is their proper food, and pure
blood comes by taking Hoods Sarsap-
arilla, which is thus the greatest and
best nerve tonic. 1t also builds up
the whole system.

The High Water.

The river rose one inch last mig hit
and is now within four inches of the
highest point it has ever been.
The Southern Pacific people kept
over one hundred n en- employed last
night in filling up the canal break
south of the little smelter and the
work they are putting in is strong ard
substantial. Up to ten o'clock this
| morning 5000 sacks of sand had been
placed in the broken crevesse.
When this breach is filed it is
thought that the water will run off of
the southeastern part of town and from
East Ell Paso and that the current of
the river will flow in the banks of the
stream.
There has been no serious loss to
East Ell Paso so far, and no houses
cemetery is under water, but TO dam
age has been done there as the current
did not pass through the cemetery.
The reported danger of Mr.. Thorne's
house falling is all wrong. Pat Dunn's
place is still standing and there is no
indications that it will fall. The East
Ell Paso people are certain the flood
waters will be cut off just as soon as
the break is stopped at the little smell
ter.
The Santa F'e road sent a large crowd
of men and several car loads of Stag up
the river this morning to rip-rap the
river where it was washing in toward
the track. There is no trouble yet but
the Santa Fee people want to save future
trouble.
The Southern Pacific people expect
to have the gap in the canal bank
filled in some time tonight. Men are
kept steadily at work day and night
and the work being done is first
class.
The river has been gradually rising
and is now within three inches of the
highest point last Sunday.
Reports from up the river do not in
dictate any big rise and what causes
the present rise here no one seems to
know. Rains on some of the tributar-
les between here and San Marcial is
likely the reasoa of high water.
The embankment built by the city
last week is now packed down and is
not now foot out of water. a foot
more dirt on top of the present work
would make good solid wall against
the water, bat the city seems inclined
to do nothing until the water washes
the present work away.

AS the electric lights went out, the bal
let had taken possession of the stage
and were capering around in great
shape.
During this time the artist got sew

Tie school room next to the Nc
Ginties was used as a carving room
ard in there the reporter found some
colored men at work carving one thou
sand pounds of fat, tender veal and
three hundred and fifty loaves of bread
besides pickles aud radishes. This
lunch was served at l l o'clock and then
the program was finished just as the
electric lights went out.
The tiremen were loath to leave the
garden and many sad that without
any other entertainment the state
fremen would have been perfectly
satisfied with what they saw and heard
last night, and that they could safely
announce TO the world that they had
attended one of the greatest firemen 5
convention ever held in the state of
Texas.

fam beau club.
This finished the procession and all
members and guests worked their way
through the crowd and entered the
McGinty grounds for the blowout.
Everything was in readiness as they
entered and as soon as the large au
began Hitting around through
the crowd with beverages to
allay the thirst of the crowd, and it was
rush hither and thirther until each
thirsty visitor had been satisfied, and
then the show began.
The entertainments On the boards
occupied pretty much the entire even
ing. After the crowd was seated, the
orator of the evening, Captain Il. j.
monies D. w. Reckhart, the president
of the NIcGinty club. The captain
spoke in his happiest vein of oratory,
welcoming the visitors to Ell Paso, and
to the hOspitalities of the McGinty
club. The speaker elaborated in his
peroratiOn on the pleasant theme. and
closed with tender sentiment in re-
fine girl to the family of the eXecu-
tive of the club. The captain left the
stand enveiOred in a halo of cheers.
The band was the next thing on the
program. There were thirty-five mus
icians present arrayed in the glories
of olive green ard spotless white. They
played the McGinty club march, D. w.
Reeves famous Night Alarm, and My
Angelina. All the music took well,
and the visitors would have been pleas
ed to have heard more from the same
source. The Night Alarm is a des
criptive piece which opens with the
inmates of a fire engine house sleeping
calmly, dreaming of pretzels and beer.
The moon is shining complacently, all
is serene, and even the stars, and the
Tom cats on the neighbOring fences
seem to have been overcome
with prenatural drowsiness. Suddenly
there is wild, cavernOus cry of fire.

house goes on tear, the gong rings.
the horses are with difficulty kept
from elm bling the flagstaff on top the
building, the firemen drop into their
clothes and down stairs on the slidip g

the street. The fire is extinguished
and then are heard the calls to reel up

your clean pants! ct cetera. ct ceter a.
but especially the ct cetera. All this
is set to appropriate music. aud the visit
ing firemen enjoyed it hugely, e.pec; al
ly where the red fire was turned on

My Angeline was sung by every body
with a vim.
The band was followed by the repe-
tition of the ballet performance of the
opera house entertainment, and in or
der, came Mr.. Beach with an excellent
tenor solo: the McGinty Light Guards
which made a hit with convention hits.

the occasion.

THE McGINTY BLOWOUT.
One of the Grandest and Most Impos
ing Sights Ever Seen in FL PasO.

The firemen came in quietly and I'M
ostentatiously. They were given a fare
well last night in a blaze of glory that
they will never forget and will never
want to forget. In their tottering old
age as they sit by their hearthstones
in the evening of life they will tell
with childish glee to their grandchil-
dren Of the scenes they witnessed in Ell
Paso and the blowout they received by
the famous McGinty club in Ell Paso.
Yesterday was a business day with
the firemen. There was nothing to
draw them away from the convent on.
and they had good rest and were in
condition for the nights parade and
blowout. It was the calm before the
storm.
Early in the evening the scenes
around the McGinty's club grounds
showed that something was on tap. A
HERALD reporter visited the gardens
and found them in readiness for the
visitors. The grounds were nicely de-
corated and the walls were hung in
banners and mottos suitable to the oc-
casiou, and of which the following is a
