In THE GRASP OF
A GRIP EPIDEMIC
Not Ye in Malignant Form, But Physi-
clans Fear Consequent Pneumonia
and Other Maladies.

New York, Dec. 19.-Emnent physicians
in this city seem TO be Of one mind con-
cerning the return of an epidemic of grip.
Not so severe, 1t is true, as that of 1890,
but sufficiently so to cause much uneasi-
ness and a great amount of discomfort.
1t has not yet taken malignant form. but
medical men assert that the situation Is
serious enough to call for the exercise of
every precaution to prevent a repetition of
the fatalities resulting from the first cpl
demic nine years ago.
1t Is impossible TO gather anything like
accurate statistics as TO the number of
New Workers now suffering from the grip.
but DR. George L. Shrady and others
equally well qualified to speak, say that
the total runs high into the thousands.
DR.. Shrady also declares that the shock
ing condition of the city streets unless
the department OF street cleaning speedily
comes TO the rescue, Will be responsible for
much additional suffering.
He declares that the great mass of snow
and filth now littering the streets in the
residence portions OF the city BODIES much
i'll to grip victims, and that the recovery
OF many will be retarded unless Commits
sioner Mccartney stops offering excuses
for failure and proceeds at once to restore
the streets to proper condition
In this belief DR.. Shrady is supported by
many prominent physicians
Owing to the fact that the epidemic up
to this time has taken only a mild form
ii has not received much attention from
others than physicians. Within the last
forty-eight hours, however, there has been
such an increase in the number of cases
that persons in all walks of life have be-
come interested in the matter. There are
many absentees this morning from stores.
factories and other institutions In which
large numbers of men and women are
employed. Physicians say that these suf-
ferers will be able to return 10 their duties
within a few daysa but their fear is that
complications will set in and that pueu-
monia will develop. with possibly fatal
results in many instances.

There should be no surprise over the
outbreak of bastard violence by the base
Spanish scoundrels still in Cuba We have
had every cause to expect outrage and
murder as a parting proof of the utter

red men or the wild tribes Of the interior
of Africa. Yet one of the family of Will
