PLAGUE QUARANTINE.

New York, Feb. 2O.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Venice, says:
The doctors at the council of the In
ternatiOnal Saitary conference have
decided that each government should
take its own quarantine measures to
prevent the importation Of the plague.
This will probably be confirmed by the
council Of the diplomatic delegates.

OYSTERS AND TYPHOID.

ease.

ease.
1t is not likely that the public will
read, or even see, the elaborate report
on the oyster and the typhoid question
just issued by the local government
board, and therefore we beg them not
to be alarmed at the comments that are
appearing in the press on the subject.
Report does not warrant an alarmist
view. It contains, it is true, the abun-
dant justification for having raised the
question. Oysters are now proved, not
only in this country but In France and
the United States, to be capable of
causing, and to have actually caused,
typhoid fever. And the investigation
of the oyster beds on our coasts, carried
out by DR.. Bulstrode for the local gov
ernment board, shows that in several
places oysters are exposed to the risk
of conveying the disease. They arc
placed for fattening In shallow water
near the foreshone, and 50 close to sewer
outfalls as TO be pretty constantly
bathed by sewage. The worst places in
this respect are Southend, Grimsby.
Shoreham. and the Isle of Wight. On
the other hand, whitstable and severed
other famous beds are beyond suspi-
cion, while a third class is only theoret-
icarly open to danger. But the most
comforting point brought out by the
report ia that even In the worst cases
the danger can be removed without
difficulty. Now that the government
has pointed the way, it Is for the local
authorities to carry out the necessary
reforms, and for oyster consumers to
insist that they are carried out-St-
James Gazette.

This. therefore, leaves the railroad OIL
cials no other alternative but to erect
their buildings where they can obtain a
site to do so, which. il appears, can be
obtained back of Newtown, on the Osceo-
la road. This naturally would make it
longer haul for the stores when getting
in their supplies. and would give the
Tanarack store further advantage as
there the train goes right close up To
their warehouse. lie seems scarcely pos
sible that Laurium will be left out in the
cold. That place is now OF considerable
importance and is likely 20 increase in
ze every year as the ground comprising
the village and additions is the only land
that can be purchased ia the immediate
neighborhood OF the mine.
IL does seem rather uniair for the rali-
road officials TO be so reticent, but it may
be they are having many difficulties OF
their own to contend with and scarcely
know from one day to another what
their plans really are; but il they are not
going 10 leave Laurlum out IN the colo,
which, however, does not appear very
probable. they surely might give the
Lauriuu village official some inklicg on
the matter.
Others appear TO think the gauge OF the
railroad here Will not be widened until
new bridge, or one partially new, is built
across Portage Lake aud that the pres
ent actions OF the company are only
meant as a bluff, but this can scarcely be
the case, Sc. ing that Mr.. Anderson, the
yardmastsr, has vacated the old IL. X c.
depot, which he has been using az a resi-
dsnce, so that il may BE- re-arranged Tor
the purpose it was originally intended,
viz, a railroad depot.

HIS ASSESSMENT TOO HIGH.
Rockefeller Offers His larry town
Property for sale.

New York, Aug. 6.-Because Of what
he considered an excessive assessment
by the authorities of Mount Pleasant
township, in which his Tarrytown prop
erty is located, William Rockefeller
has placed the property on the market.
He sold his summer place at Green
witch, Conn, about eight years ago on
account of what he claims was excess
sive taxation, and is now said 10 be
looking toward Newport as a retreat
from taxation. Mr.. Rockefeller is now
in Europe. He sailed on June 80 and
a real estate agent of Tarrytown, who
has been acting for Mr.. Rockefeller in
contesting the assessment value of his
property a year ago, now announces
that before sailing, Mr.. Rockefeller au-
thoriZed the sale of his property for
$350,000 The assessed valuation is
1888. $50. That of a year ago was ST.
100000 The purchase price was $685.

The BISHOPS BUSINESS.
A Case Where the Ingenious Citizens
Scheme Failed to Work.


There is a citizen in this town who has
always experienced the greatest difficulty
In fitting their proper names and identity
to acquaintance whose faces he knows per-
fectly we'll So marked is this failing that
he has often been placed in exceedingly
awkward situations, even with friends
whom he has known for several years
Some time ago he hit upon what he con-
sidered rather ingenious plan for finding
out the name of the man 10 whom he was
talking. After one or two safely common
place remarks upon the weather or any
not too personal topic he would ask in an
apparently casual manner:
We'll, how is business with you now
pretty fairt'
1t almost invariably happened that his
unsuspecting companion would say some.
thing in reply which would reveal the
nature of his occupation. That was all
Mr.. A. wanted. AS soon as he knew
this particular he knew his man. Many
successful experiments with this method
soon gave him fatal amount of conf
dence in its infallibility. Fearless of de-
lection, he put the same inquiry unblush-
ingly on every occasion which found him
unable to identify an acquaintance The
shock came, and now his faith is sadly
shaken by what he admits was conspic.
uous failure.
Dropping into seat in the cable caT
one morning, he found himself beside a
gentleman who greeted him Familiarity
and proceeded to make inquiries regard
ing his family, which showed him to be q
comparatively intimate friend. Mr.. A,
knowing his face, but entirely at "a loss for
his name, merely awaited good oppor-
tunity.
And how Is business with you now
brisk"
His companion stared moment, then
laughed
Il guess you don't know me, Mr.. A.
Now admit it,.
