The People Terrorstricken.

London, July 25.-The Cairo cores
pendent of the Daily Telegraph says
that the utmost CONSERVATION prevails
ewing to the terrifying progress OF
cholera. All hope of localizing the
disease has been abandoned and there
is no doubt that Egypt will have to
meet a devastating epidemic. The di-
sease appeared, Thursday, in practic-
ally every quarter in Cairo, AZ new
cases being reported. Several natives
fell dead at their work. Temporary
hospitals are being erected. The Brit

an intimate friend Of Cha uncey n. De-
pew, the prince of after dinner speak
ers, to Philadelphia Times reporter.
AN orator Of national reputation does
not dare TO repeat his stories and an
ecdotes too often. He must always
have large assortment on hand ap-
plicable 10 every occasion. The method
OF Mr.. Depew in surrounding this diff
ficulty is q thorough and original one.
He has clerk who files away all OF
the best stories which the famous ora

with his observant eyes and worldwide
circle of acquaintances, Is constantly
adding to this fund, Each Of these
stories is classified and then indeXed,

pew uses one of these stories the time
and place are noted to save himself the

Investing Money In Men.

Der Of deserving young men and won-
EN- through their college courses. When
these young people have finished their
work in the world, they may each and
all be able to erect $4,000 buildings
for their alma matters. A certain gen

The distressed, to soften the bitterness

The Divorce Laws.

The best cure for the present confu-
sion would be a national law covering
all questions of marriage and divorce.
There is, however, little hope of the
early enactment of any such measure.
The remedy for a condition that en-
""nGcrs the best interests Of society Is
IL the hands Of the people Of the diff
