An amusing incident occurred in O
lunch room in this city few days ago.
The proprietor was out for few min
utes, leaving the lunch counterin charge
Of boy. Several customers were eat
ing various kinds of food, and two
strangers entered. They evidently mis-
took the nature of the place as badly as
the boy appeared to mistake their
meaning. After glancing over the ar
ray offood and drink (the last being cof-
fee, chocolate, etc.), one of the pair
asked:
SAY, boy, got any hard stuR here?"
The boy quietly reached under the
counter and drew forth an ancient Bo-
logna sausage about the size Of base
ball bat, and fully as hard and dry, and
replied;

Guards the United States Against
Epidemics from Cuba.


Guards the United States Against
EDidemics from Cuba.
DIR. Burgess Is a remarkable man. He
has been in Cuba for many years. He
has sailed through epidemics Of all sorts
cholera, yellow fever, and smallpox
without the slightest fear or nervous
ness, and insists that he was born TO be
hanged. Disease has no terrors for him.
With disposition as kindly and man
ners as gentle as those of Florence
Nightingale or Clara Barton, he can be-
come n roaring lion II anyone attempts
TO interfere with him in the perform
ance Of his duty, and he has the courage
to defy the captain general and all the
armies of Spain If his official rights are
infringed upon, because he realizes
that the public health of the United
States depends upon his vigilance. just
now Cuba is suffering from an epidemic
of smallpox. In several places on the
island the disease Is raging, and in Ha-
vana the death rate from that cause
alone averages 100 a day. When the
rainy season begins, and the summer
heat comes, yellow fever will break out
again, and DR.. Burgess stands between
those epidemics and the people Of the
United States.
The harbor of Havana is a cesspool
which for years has received the drain
age Of the city, and is virtually a cul-de-
sac, with no means of being secured by
tides or fresh water streams. The
docks of the cityside of the bay are no
torious as foci Of infection. Under one
of them the sewer from the military
hospital, where contagious diseases Of
soldiers are treated, discharges its filth
and germs into the bay. 1t is said that
no ship has ever tied up at that wharf
without disease breaking out among
the crew, and the sailors call It dead
mans hole" DIR. Burgess compels oil
vessels bound for the United States to
anchor as far away as possible, at the
extreme end of the harbor, where the
currents from the ocean keep the water
in motion, and no person is allowed to
board one of these ships without a per
NIT with his signature. No steamship
agent Is allowed 10 sell q ticket until
the applicant produces such n permit,
and none can be secured until DR.. Bur-
CESS is satisfied that he is in good health
and has not been exposed to a con
tagious disease.
During the smallpox epidemic he has
required all persons desiring to sail for
the United States TO show evidence of
recent vaccination. II they cannot do
so he vaccinates them and compels them
to remain in Havana until the virus
takes" This is often annoying, but
DR.. Burgess Is ineNorable. During the
last winter people who have gone to
Havana for q two days stay have been
required to prolong their visit for 12
days. But he argues that the incon-
venience Of one person is not TO be con-
sidered when the health Of q whole ma
ton Is at stalxe.-Chicago Record.

called; "You fever touched him." I

Writes Harry Hall: president Nc
kinley has completely captured Wash
ingtun by his simple democratic ways.
For the first time in years there is a
president here who is not afraid to go
out on the streets like other people, en-
JOY quiet walk after the labors of
the day and return the friendly saluta-
tiOns of the passersby with pleasant
dignity. Then the white house guard
or police has been discontinued, and
there are evidences all around that
the president doesn't intend to COOP
himself up in solitary state, as did his
predecessor, giving audience to but few.
ana then chilling those select few into
untIiendliness. No man ever lost so
much in the estimation of public men
OF his own party and of the people geu-
orally as did President Cleveland by his
ridiculous eXclusiveness during his last
term. 1t led largely to the breach be-
tween him ana most Of his party lead
ers, and gained him no friends. 1t is a
good sign for the success of the new
administration that President NIcKin-
ley has taken an entirely different
course"
There are many good signs in connec-
tion with the Mckinley administration
and one of the best is that there seems
to be a general disposition on every side
TO cooperate for its success. We doubt
II even the Bryan Democrats in Wash
ington would lift a hand to obstruct
the carrying out of the presidents poll
icy. There will be, perhaps, perfume
tory show of opposition in the house
especially over the new tariff-just
enough to maintain party lines. But il
VIII be strictly "professional"; a part
of the stage business" of politics. In
their own hearts the minority members
know that McKinley's election was fol
the best, that the election of Bryan
would, even from Bryan's own stand
point, have been in consequences a dis
appointment and a mistake; and that
the plain common sense of the people
has again asserted itself for the vel
fare and possibly also for the salvation
of American institutions.
The one thing now to be feared is that
President Mckinley will carry his amia-
bility to the point Of injury to his
health Tie vast crush and jam of
people to see him must involve n tre-
mendous strain upon his endurance
Perhaps this rush will abate in a few

An Encouraging Sign.

The bill introduced at Albany the 9TH
er day to place the newspapers of New
York state under i censorship is quite
interesting. 1t provides that within
twenty days after the passage Of the
act the governor shall appoint in all
counties of the state, having u popula-
tiUn of 10000, one or more suitable per-
sons to act as CensOrs of all newspapers
published in said counties. 1t shall be
the duty OF each censor, so appointed,
to examine and read all articles intend =
ed to- be published in the paper with
which he is connected. and to prescribe
and eliminate all libelous matters and
all matters deemed by him inimical to
the interests of the state or any officials
thereof. The compensation of each CEN
sor is to be fixed by the comptroller OF
the state, and the expense shall be
borne equally Ivy the state and the
paper to hich the censor is assigned.
such Censurs shall hold office during
the pleasure Of the governor who has
power to remove and transfer and ap~
point at will. Any person printing, or
causing to be printed, any article or
portion of an article not passed upon
and approved by the censor, shall be
guilty of a felony, and the penalty for
conviction thereof shall be imprison-
ment in state prison for term not TO
exceed five years or less than one year,
or by a fine from $1,000 to $1,000 or both.
Taken in connection with the ELS
worth bill to make it misdemeanor for
any newspaper to print portrait with
out having first obtained the subject $
written consent tnis measure would
appear to indicate a growing feeling o.
dissatisfaction with the so-called new
journalism. 1t of course is not feasible
to restrain the Viciousness of this style
of journalism by law, except Where
there is palpable libel or ObsCcnity and
the one hope of reform lies in the good
sense of the reading public itself; but
it is a significant indication that the
legislators feel called upon to train
their corrective talents on this abuse
Maybe as a result of all this agitation
a time will yet come in this country
when it will be profitable to publish a
newspaper given up to sane and whole
some reports of news, and to editorial
and literary contents written in u key
of decency, fairness and gentility.

The chances are that stories n.lntcd

four stern years of Clevelandism But
II must b. held in check. On this point
Colonel Hall reassuringly says that
"with all his disposition to I've ap-
proachabe and friendly, 1t does not
follow that the president intends to de-
vote his time wholly 20 hearing the re-
quests Of office-se ekers. While he rec
ognizes that there are places TO be
hlled, and that there is nothing unwor-
tiny in the ambition to fiji them there
are more pressing subjects that demand
his immediate attention. That he pur-
poses to attend to these matters first
was plainly indicated by him before he
entered the white house. He is repeat
ing these declarations now" They are
timely.
