THE PREVAILING GRIP.
AND EVEN THO U,SANDS
 OF CASES.
The Great Minority of Cases Are Light in
 Charaeter-The Weather Considered
 UnfavorabIe for Grip All Except the
Dust.

The cases of grip in this city num- Der hundreds if not thousands and phy- sicians say they are driven up on all sides by the numerous calls to attend patients suffering more or less from the malady. The, great majority of the cases are light in character, but even the light cases are said to be grievouS to endure. Some estimates place the number of cases in this city as high as 10000, but in this estimate is included about everybody that has cold and headache. The temperature has been low and even the barometer has been high and there has been plenty of sun- shine, yet the grip fourishes; so lts prevalence is attributed to the prevail ing dust and the germs it so freely whisks about.
 Last evenings New York Mail and Express says on the subject:
 Although there has been an increase in the number of cases of the grip ye- gently, physicians declare there is no reason to become alarmed. The disease Is not fatal except in extreme eases, and if taken in time and properly treat ed may be cured after comparatively brief period of distress to the patient.
 Some six weeks ago grip was preVa- lent in the larger European cities, but the colder weather has driven 1t out. Physicians say they are at loss to account for the spread of the disease here. There Is nothing, they say, in the weather or atmospheric conditions to warrant 1t, and they are hopeful that the number of cases will steadily de- crease.
 Compared to the number of persons i'll with the grip the number of eases which have proved fatal is very small Last week there were only 36 deaths from the disease, while in the same time there were 254 fatal cases of pneu- monia and 54 of bronchitis.
 Sheriff Grell, Under Sheriff Henry r. Mulvaney and several of the deputy sheriffs were reported ill with the grip to-day

The Shamrock Hard Luck.

Surely n hoodoo bird flutters con-
tinuously around the Shamrock IL.
From the first the new challenge has
played in the most discouraging hard
luck. After it's launching it ran
aground; then it was beaten twice in
succession by the old Shamrock: and
on Wednesday came the browning
misfortune when sudden squat
swept away everything above its
decks and left it helpless and pitiful
wreck 1t was a little short of mira
cident was given world wide impor-
tance from the fact that King Edward
VII was on board and had u narrow
escape from death. The sympathy of
every sportsman goes out to Sir
Thomas Upton at this time and no.
where will that sympathy be more
cordial or more general than in Amer
lea where he has made himself SO well
liked. The sporting world will ap-
plaud his plucky determination to
make repairs and bring over the boat
for the proposed races. Sir Thomas
is a rival of the type that gives sport
its highest standard. His request for
a postponement of the races to a date
later in the summer will be gladly
complied with and everything done by
the American custodians of the worlds
yachting trophy to suit his con-
venience. In the meantime the cup
defenders will be getting into the best
Of shape. and perhaps the New York
people will unbend enough to give the
Boston-buiit Independence chance to
prove it's right to defend the cup. 1t
is most gratifying to know that the
races will be held, despite the bad ac-
cident to the challenger. and every
body on this side will wish Sir Thomas
better luck from now on and all sue
cess in the races which will be con-
sistent with the continued sojourn OF
the cup in this country.

Tie Ej;z John Porter Incident.

The death of General FitZ-John Por-
ter recalls one Of the most unfortunate
and regI$ttable incidents in the history
of the American army. After the
failure of the Virginia campaign in the
summer of 1852 General Porter was
charged with cowardice and disobedi-
ence of orders. Although he had made
a splendid record in the Mexican war;
had. been hero at Antietam, and had
saved a part of the army from destruc-
ton in the Virginia campaign Of Au-
gust. the court martial found him
guilty and he was dismissed in dis
grace He narrowly escaped being
shot, in fact, and for many years his
name was branded as that of cow
ard. b. the public generally he was
deemed traitor. No doubt there
had been perjury at the trial. There
were intense jealousies in the army at
that time and somebody had to be a
scapegoat.
The whole thing was monstrOus in
justice. an American Dreyfus case. The
victim bore. himself with dignity and
his friends Mere tireleSs in his behalf.
Then the tide set the other way. at
last and i'm the North American Re
view for December, 1882. Gen. Grant
published under the title AN Unde-
served Stigma" complete retractiOn
of and apology for his own denuncia-
tons of Porter and declared that he
was absolutely innocent. The official
reaC ton had begun in 1879. when
board of army officers appointed to re-
view the case reported the proofs of
the crime against Porter. But even
with Gen. Grant on Porter's side the
popular reaction was so slow that not
until 1856 was Porter officially vindi-
Gated by Congress 1t was tragic
wrong to a brave and loyal soldier Of
the flag and his closing years We're
made happy by the proud conscious
ness that the stain was wiped from his
name and the fun public faith in him
restored. Fortunately such military
martyrs are less numerous in our his
tory than in that of European nations.

Tripping down the orchard path while the

May dews are pearlier. May branches
burlier.
And the little ool-bound feet early
start and earlier.
So as to have a long time and a sunny
song time
Ere We reach the schoolhouse door, nine
o'clock and gong time
Longer will the morns be and full of jul
bi!ation.
When the harvest apples drop in the glad
vacation.
May time. play time. don't We have a gay
time
Underneath the orchard boughs at the
close Of daytime.
Busy lips chattering, pink blossoms scat
tering.
on the lifted face and hands now We feel
them SCATTERING.
Then with hearts as feather light, trip
ping off together. quite
Like pair of birds. so happy are We in
the weather bright.
Fairer will the days be and full of jubi-
lation,
When the peaches color up in the near
vacation.
