1t is likely that, with the exception of
Paris and London, there are more dead
beats in New York city in proportion
to the population than anywhere else on
the globe. From all quarters they come,
penuiless adyenturers of both sexes
With the men deadbeats I have no pres
ent concern, except to remark that if |
had back even part of the money they
have obtained from me on one pretense
and another | should have enough to
take trip to Europe and back. We do
not expect much from men anyhow
But women deadbeats | do seriously
women deadbeats are becoming too
numerous. They sometimes work a lit
tie, but work is not the first object OF
their existence. Their first object is, if
possible. to get money without work. II
is within the experience of every busi-
ness man that women come to him
making no sort of hesitation in begging
for money which they have not the
slightest intention of repaying. / know
women who for years have largely made
their living by borrowing funds. The
usual method is to ask you for the loan
Of small sum. If you give it to them,
they will probably pay it back, just by
way of a blind But soon after they will
come again, and this time they will not
pay, nor do they pay again, though
their brazen cheek will bring them tC
you again and again with their impu-
dent beggary. 1t is a dangerous habit
to fall into, that of borrowing even
small sums. There is no need of it il
you use ordinary prudence. A woman
who thus knocks about from pillar tc
post, getting money out of anybody she
can, degrades the name Of womanhood
and Injuries her sex in the eyes Of all
mankind. Don't give her cent if she
comes your way. Let her be starved
into honesty. You can always tell the
difference between her and the ordinary
honest woman in hard luck temporarily

She might not like to have her name
mentioned, but as / shall not ask her
permission in the case you will be in
terested to know that it was one you
have heard Miss Theresa Barcalow.
She is faithful worker in the woman
suffrage cause, member Of Sorosis and
of the Ladies' Health Protective asso-
citation of New York As member of
the last organization of course she has
the right to protect anybody S health
who stands in need of it. One fine aft
ernoon she was going to the meeting Of
the Health Protective society. AS she
came to a street corner ON Broadway
she saw a crowd gathered 1t was NUT
tering and growing and occasionally
bowling There was no policeman in
sight. Miss Barcalow drew near to see
what was the matter. In the center of
the crowd she saw two young fellows
fighting like wild beasts. They cIawed
and banged each other murderously,
and in all the throng of men who stood
by there was none to stop them. In
fact, so far from stopping them several
in that crowd of barbarians eheered the
two infuriated beasts on This new
woman needed not a second glance. Did
she faint? No Did she scream? No
Without moments hesitation she part
ed the crowd and ran to the young fell
lows who were fighting. She seized each
one by the back of the neck and slung
them apart as she would have done two
cats. They skunk away, more ashamed
than they had ever been in their lives.
Two bold young prizefghters to be inter
fered with and cowed by womani II
was too much Then, having stopped
the brutal performance, Miss Barcalow
turned upon the crowd of witnesses IN
few choice words of fine new woman
| ly scorn she gave them her opinion ot
men who would permit a bloody and
degrading exhibition like that in the
one of the busiest streets of New York.
This crowd, too, skunk away and dis
solved itself before the fire in her eye,
the lash in her voice. After that Miss
Barcalow turned and went her way tC
the meeting of the Ladies' Health Pro
tectiVe association.

Strong Hold.
IT'S MILD AT GALVESTON,
The Fever Keeps on Increasing at New
Orleans and Two Deaths are Re-
pOrted-NO Deaths are Reported d
From Galveston.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, October 12.-The
following is a summary of the yellow
fever situation up to the last report:
New Orleans, 80 new cases, 4 deaths:
Galveston, one pronounced and two
suspects; Edwards, five new cases, two
deaths: Mobile, five new cases.
Galveston, October 1.-THE fever
here is of very mild form and no
deaths Rave occurred. The board of
health is still divided as to whether
the cases are really yellow fever or not
but the majority Of the people are will
ing to admit that there is no room for
doubt on the subject.
DR. Guiteras, the yellow fever ex-
pert, in lecture to the students at the
school of medicine here, made the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the yell
low fever:
SIN diagnosing a yellow fever epi-
demic," he said, ''there we're two points
of view from which the physician
might look. The first was a consider
alton of the general sanitary condition
of the city, especially including the
mortuary records. From these, some
times, the prevalence of yellow fever
could be- ascertained without the in
vestigation of single case. The
second was an examination of the
individual cases, and in speaking in
respect to this he asserted that yellow
fever is disease of sudden onset, and
its coming is first shown by a rapid
rise of temperature, in the m ajority of
cases not above 1O3 or 1034. He dwelt
at considerable length on the rise aud
fall of temperature and of some other
symptoms, especially the watchfulness
of the patient.
"Referring to the contagiousness of
the disease, he asserted that it was not
directly contagious, and he made
several statements of instances he
knew of to prove this. In speaking of
the treatment of yellow fever he as
serted that there was no specific for it.
The old process of sweating the patient
has been abandoned. In the stages of
black vomit be recommended tincture
of chloride of iron, the dose being ten
drops every two hours. Calomel he
also recommended, and the use of
alcohol was advised, champagne aud
cognac being especially recommended.
For the relief of pains he recommend
ed phenacetine'

In another column of this paper, is
an Interesting story from the pen of
Charles Adams. published recently in
the Youths Companion, and which the
HERALD reprints through the cour-

ventures of General Porfirio Diaz in
reaching his friends in Mexico, after
he had been exiled by President Ler-
do and a price put upon his head, if he
returned, and how true Americans on
account of Masonic ties came to his
rescue. After you have read the story

the investigation of Captain Lovering's
conduct in his punishment OF Private
Hammond at FIT. Sheridan, has been
forwarded to Washington. It is said
the report is without recommendations
of any kind and contains merely a re-
view of the evidence as taken by the
personal aide of General Brooke. Ten
witnesses were examined and the tes-
timony bears out completely the de-
tails of Capt. Lovering's cruel treat
mept of Private Hammond. Lowering

over rough roads, down stone steps,
but claimed in defense, that discipline
had to be enforced.

MISS EVANGELINA CISNEROS.

This young Cuban beauty has sprung
into prominence by being arrested and
placed in jail in Havana, and is report
ed to have been subjected to many
abuses by the Spanish authorities
Her only crime was that she refused
the disgraceful proposals of
the governor of the isle on which
she resided. It has just been
reported that Butcher Weyler was
making every effort to convict Miss
Cisneros before his time expires as
governor-general Of Cuba. This, how
ever. has been frustrated by her es-
cape from the convent in Havana
where she had been placed by order of
the queen regent of Spain. She is now
in New York and is receiving a great
deal of attention from Cubans and
Cuban sympathizers. She is only
seventeen years old and is a perfect
specimen of Cuban beauty.
