Chicago, Sept. 22.-The report that
two cases of yellow fever have been
discovered at Cairo, ILL.,, has not alarm
ed Chicago health officials. Health
Commissioner Reynolds doubts that
the cases at Cairo are yellow fever,
and believes that they are either NAL
aria or "break- bone" fever He has no
intention Of resembling his proclama-
ton welcoming Southern refugees to
Chicago. In discussing the situation
DR.. Reynolds said: "There is abso-
lutely no cause for alarm in Chicago
and we should welcome refugees from
the infected district. Even if the dis
ease should be imported into Chica-
go it could not spread. Our climate
would act as barrier against the con-
tagion and it would disappear as
quickly as it came. Two physicians
who saw the patients at Cairo pro-
nounced the disease malaria. Another
physician diagnosed the disease as
yellow fever. | am inclined to believe
the disease is not genuine yellow
fever"
General Superintendent Sullivan. of
the Illinois Central, said the prevail
ence of yellow fever in the South ne
eessitated no change innthrough service
except as far as compliance with the
quarantine and Illinois board of health
requirements.
For the protection of the state DIR.

engers or railroad employees from the
infected states shall be permitted to
leave trains at any point in Illinois

the youngest of which was eighteen
months old and the eldest seven years.
The parents went to church. An hour

screams coming from Smiths house,
the interior of which was in flames.
Negroes made heroic efforts to save
the children, but it was impossible to
reach them and all persisted. 1t is
supposed tht an oil lamp left burning
was overturned. When the parents

City railroads having outlets at gulf
ports are notifying shippers that

ingS.
Alton, ILL.,, Sept. PA momentous
change has been inaugurated in the
public schools of this city. Last
spring the board of education deter
mined to enforce the separation of the
colored and white pupils in the
schools. Two new buildings were
needed and these were built and fur
nished with every modern equipment
for the accommodation of the cOlored
children.
Efficient colored teachers were hlr-
ed and the schools have been opened
and an order issued for all colored
pupils to repair to the new schools.
1t had been feared that there might
be clash over the order but so far
all has been satisfactory and peace
able. In few instances the children
remained in their old places, but this
was not pressed as there was much
to do in getting the others establish

The colored people are divided in
their sentiments toward this move,
but a large majority Of them are OPP
posed to it from a sentimental stand

Chicago. Sept. 21.-Presbyterian
ministers of Chicago are indignant
over the fact that the work of eXca-
walton and putting in a foundation
for the new federal building at Clark
and Jackson streets is being prosecut-
ed on Sunday. At the weekly meet
ing of the Presbyterian Ministers as
ISOLATION, resolutions were passed and
copies forwarded TO President McKin-
ley and the secretary of the treasury,
Lyman J. Gage, expressing regret that
'Fthe Christian Sabbath is being yio-

office and custom house, and request
ing that the officers having the build

God be obeyed and all labor connected
with the construction with the SAID

CRANK AT THE WHITE HOUSE
He Was Armed And Had Made Pre-
yious Threats.

Chicago, Sept. 21.--A special from
Washington to this city says:
Joseph Bloomfield Jackson, who is
said TO be a crank from Meridian.
Conn.,, was arrested lasr> night at the
door of the White House after an I'M
successful effort to enter the execu-
tive mansion.
Jackson was heavily armed. He
has been in the city several days and
at the Raleigh house, where he stop
ped, has made mysterious boasts as
TO what he was going to do to high
official of the government. He sent
a letter to local newspaper contain
ing similar threats.
He. has been under espionage for
several days and is now behind the
bars.
The officers thought nothing of the
arrest until on searching the man they
found the loaded revolver. Only
charge of vagrancy and carrying con-
cealed weapons can be made against
him and his treatment will not be
materially different to that given TO
hundreds of cranks removed from the
White House grounds without dis
turbances, but nevertheless the fear
and belief that President Mckinley
might, if he had driven out in the
afternoon instead of being clOseted
with visitors, been attacked and per-
haps shot as he entered his carriage.
1t is thought JacksOn's mind is I'M
balanced.

SHORT STOPS.

What the People Are Saying.
San Antonio is city of at least
,000population; its homes and social
life is on a par with any town of it's
size in the world; it can boast of its
it has, like all other towns its rotten
centers.
We will not consider the section that
makes no pretention to morality; at
least they are honest in their crime.
But how about the so-called society
people?
Married men who have no respect
for their wives or children; married
women who have no regard for the sa-
credness of their homes. Such people
should be put in the public stocks and
subjected to the gaze of the public.
Then there are the young dudes
who have no respect for womanhood,
who dishonor their mothers, and only
seek to crafty their lust, what should
be a proper punishment for these
moral buzzards?
The married roue deserves less
consideration than the unmarried
roue. Such ,yultures should not be
shielded against either private or pub
lie retribution.
There was a time when the man
who invaded the precincts of home
and befouled the virtue of the wife
that a load of buckshot was consid-
cred a proper dose. This was a
healthy practice.
4 hard working man comes home
and finds his home destroyed by
society gent; he breaks up the fur
niture and takes his child away; he
is arrested for disorderly conduct and
has a hard time avoiding punishment
the dirty fellow who has befouled
his home, flourishes as a prominent
business man and society duck.
Yet all honest people set their faces
against the young scoundrel and the
married scoundrel who follows the
profession of seduction and adultery.
The moral vultures who feed on lust.
The negro rapist is a gentleman
when compared with the dirty scoun-
drel who enters the home and de-
stroys its sanctity.
San Antonio needs renovating; never
mind about the saloon, the gambling
hell. or the bawdy houses, tackle the
well dressed lecherous dudes and the
married skunks.

Especial Correspondence
Kyntn Oct & 1sQ,

Kyoto, Oct 6, 1897.
EDITOR p. c. A.:-We have been
visiting today the Imperial Palace (the
MikadO's residence when in Kyoto),
and also the Castle, the residence of
the Shotgun in the days of the dual
sovereignty. The palace is a fine spe-
cimen of Japanese architecture.
Through the kindness of H. l. J. M.
Minister H. Shimamura, permits were
sent us, and some official from the
Governors office sent with us when
we made our visit
An earthen wall encloses about 20
acres. The ''yagishi," or the residence
of the "daimios," around this enclosure
have nearly all been removed, and the
area thus obtained is utilized as pub
lie park. The Theological School of
the A. B. c. F. NJ, which has since
grown into the Doshisha University,
originally occupied one Of the vacated
''yagishis;" by permission of the Gov
ernor, who was a student of Christian
ity at the time, though never a pro-
fessed believer.
We took off our shoes and put on
wooden slippers furnished by the GUS
todan. We entered the Corridors open
to the roof and fioored with skeyaki,"
a grey wood that takes a fine polish,
unpainted. The flooring is laid as in
the Shinto temples, SO as to give
musical CD squeak resembling the
tones of the Japanese nightingale.
Really this was to make it impossible
for any one to come in unheard, very
much as the "kolokolo," or crawling on
the ground before Hawaiian chiefs
was to avert the danger of assassina-
ton. The pillars and partitions are Of
"hinoki," reddish wood, and the
thotch is of the bark of the same tree,
two or three feet thick.
The outside sliding screens of the
various apartments were the usual
rice paper "shoji," giving mellow
gray light They were ornamented
with engraved brasses as braces, some
of which were quite iridescent. The
partitions of the different rooms were
ornamented by various distinguished
artists, but / cannot say that l admire
the ordinary Japanese painting. The
bed room was the innermost of ALL so
that the Mikado's sacred person was
pretty effectually protected The throne
under a silk canopy reminded me of
the old Egyptian palaces, and the gild-
ed and painted carved figures on either
side of the dais, called lions by cour-
tesy, brought to mind the Bible de-
scription of King Solomon's throne.
In fact, as we have travelled about
Japan, / am impressed with the
thought that what we are Witnessing
is the civilization of ancient Babylon
and Egypt. The wild geese pictured on
some of the "fusumas," or OPAQUE
screens, were more of success than
the tigers or deers. BY the way, the

That this succulent and healthful
vegetable thrives we'll in warm eli
mates has been proven in Southern
California. Mr.. Byron Clark tells the
writer that five years ago there was
not enough produced there TO supply
the local demand, and was said not to
do well; but with the introduction of
skilled methods from the celery dis
tricts of Michigan, it has become a
great industry. One locality in Orange
County, near Los Angeles, will ship
600 carloads this winter. Most of this
goes East These Islands are the way
stations for the commerce Of the Pa
cific, and large quantities of this and
other vegetables would find market,
if only good quality and regular sup
ply could be obtained.
Mushrooms-These are easy to grow.
There is no secret connected with
their cultivation. The writer raised
them in caves or tunnels at Diamond
Head with success about year ago.
However, success depends upon gen.

as necessary in the successful raising
of cattle, poultry. fruit, sugar-cane,
coffee. flowers, etc, as they are in
raising mushrooms.

of canneries this will require capital,
or cooperative companies with Gov
ernment aid and the influence of our
merchants.

There are thousands of acres covered
