Is 1T THE PLAaUEP

We hope there is doubt that the
disease which is now affecting us is
the bubonic plague. There are
many in town who do not believe
that it is. A few days time should
assure us OF the fact. Should it
prove to be so, we fear that the Isl.
auds will become practically isolated
both for travel and commerce, and
the sugar interests will especially
suffer IL the impression gains ground
abroad that the disease, If the
plague, was imported in freight
We are among those who do not be-
lieve that it is the plague and in this
view, as in the alleged cholera cpl
demic, we are supported by come of
the best medical minds Test indi.
cations by bacterioligists are not in
fsllible except in the hands OF very
experienced and learned men. We
do not write in spirit of cavilling
but the rather in one of hope, and
in sympathy with our women and
children and our tradesmen. The
cleansing of the city must be car
ried on with zeal, and an unresting
watch must be kept over the health
OF the place. The promptness
which has marked the attack must
be maintained unwearied for it might
be the plague, aud if it is not it is
very evidently very rapid death
dealing disease. According to our
information the bubonic plague gen.
orally first attacks the uncleanliest
OF the unclean and in the foulest of
localities How is then that in our
case the conditions were the very

quarters we're the first victims and

have been reported. Can any con-
neotion be made between these cases.
or with that of November 10. or
those OF the Claudine? When the
trouble has blown over, which we
trust it soon will, it will be the i'm
perative duty Of the Board OF Health
and the Medical Association .c in
stitute a serious inyestiqstion into
these matters and Others that will
naturally suggest themselves. 1t is
not the right time to find fault now
with the past, but the rather to band
together in unity to aid in suppress
ing the disease, whatever it may
be- The community is grateful to
all those who have. nobly stepped
forward in the hour of need. There
Is still further d uty to be done by
every intelligent person AID that is
to keep the pub lie mipa cool, conf.
dent and hopeful, and to assist TIE
leaders with Cheerful obedience and
to forget politics.

A DRUMMER'S EXPERIENCE.
Lost Customer by Refusing 10
Drink, bat Saved His House
from Heavy Loss.

For is years I was q drummer. Ny
territory was in all OF the southern
states, and ! Travelled through them ALL.
I'm one of the largest cities in these
states / had a good customer to whom
! sold many large bills. The buyer
of this house was man who drank reg
ularly and very often.
On one trip went in to see this buy
er and he sent the stock clerk TO see
how many cases Of my goods were need
ed. When told. he ran his arm IN mine
and walked out of the office and up the
street 10 am alley Galking an the time
about business), and then down the all
ley TO the back door of a barroom. When
ho struck the alley saw his object. and
said: "Il the Lord will help me now,
win not break my rule" When we got
within ten feet of the door of the ac-
cursed hole 1 stopped, and. looking at
nay customer (f0r he certainly was not
my iriend), / said: 81 don't drink any
thing; no use my going I'm there" lie
looked at me, and said: Come on and
take a drink" Ireplied: NO, don't
drink" "lake a cigar, them mo,
don'tgoin barrooms at all." Tie stopped
and looked me squarely i'm the face, and
took his arm out of mine, and went De-
lie soon came out, and we walked back
90 his Office but he didn't arm me back
nor speak q word to me. When we got
into tine office again took out my order
book as though nothing had happened,
and said, politely: "Iow many cases
shall 1 put down?" "None.' said he;
81 don't want any" answered: "All
right, sir; we have a surplus on hand
at all times, and when you want any of
our goods we viii be pleased TO have
your order" and babe him good day.
