MORE SMALLPOX.
Five New Cases Reported to The
Augusta Board of Health.
All Patients Have Been Sent to the
Pest House.

Five cases of smallpox We're discoV-
cred by DR.. w. H. Harris, yesterday.
1t was supposed that there was no fur
ther danger of a smallpox epidemic,
that all fears of a spread of the disease
had passed. But such was not the
fact. Yesterday, DR.. Harris ascertain
ed that the disease was in the family of
Napoleon Butler who lives on Mt. Ver-
non avenue. His four young children,
all of them less than years Of age,
We're afflicted with it. They were eX-
amined and DR.. Harris Immediately or
dered that they, with their father and
mother, be taken to the pest house, and
this was done.
Last evening, it was found that Miss
Louisa Tondreau, an aunt of the chill
dren, was also broken out with the dis
ease and she, too, was taken to tie $50
lation hospital. Miss Tondreau has
been taking care of the Butler children
and from them it is supposed she con-
tracted the disease.
Miss Tondreau'S case is the Goth that
has occurred since the first day of
February, and the Board of Health is
determined that a systematic course of
to house canvass must be made, if the
disease is TO be wholly annihilatcd.
otherwise, when, the cold weather be-
gins, unless vaccination is general, the
disease, now dormant, may spread, and
cause an outbreak that will be injuri-
Gus 10 the city's welfare.
The girl has been sick for the past
two weeks, and in that time it is not
known whom she has associated with
nor whom she has infected with the
disease. There may be many other
eases resulting from exposure to this
one.
The Butler children, also, have been
out among their companions, and 1t
may be that the disease is deep-rooted
in the locality about their houses. The
marks of the dread disease are appar-
cnt upon their persons, and the fears
of further cases are strong.
Everything is being done that is pos
sible for the sick ones at the pest
houses, where DR.. Mary j. Conant is in
charge

Pure Water.

Editors ECnnebcc journal:
Pure water is Gods free gift to every
man, woman and child, for the use ana
benefit of every living thing On this
green earth.
The Portland Water Trust or its Au-
guest agents never had just and moral
right to control or try to control the
Legislature of our State, so that the peo-
pie Of our city might not own and use
all the pure water they need and want.
Any attempt that may have been made
or may hereafter be made to accomplish
this purpose will not be tolerated
by the voters of the city of Augusta.

AMUSE VENTS.

About the only animal in circus
mcnageric feared by trainers is the
IIimalayan tiger. 1t is the most
treacherouS member of the cat family
and in consequence few are broken for
public exhibition stunts" Two years
ago Sig SautClle, whose new big two
ring railroad circus menagerie, royal
Roman hippodrome and historical wild
west exhibit which will exhibit at Au-
guSta, Thursday afternoon and eve
hing, June %, conceived the idea that
Il performing Himalayan tiger would
prove Il splendid feature act for his
shows. He at once purchased a mag
nficent specimen and engaged q well
known trainer to teach the Brute.
After more than twenty months of
hard work, the act SO much desired by
Mr.. Sautellc has been perfected and
will be presented during the after
noon and evening performances. I'M
like all other Wild animal acts, Nero
does not perform inside steel barred
and covered cage; instead, the act
takes place in one of the regular, open
rings.
Spectators may witness it, however,
in perfect safety ana without fear Of
harm to themselves, az every prccau-
ton is taken to guard against acct
armed attaches of the show surround
the ring and it is utterly impossible
for the tiger to escape from the arena.

SPITE CORNER" IN NEW YORK
Flow Valuable Corner Lot Came to be
Left on a Spectators Hands.

Ono of the most conspicuous corners
in New York City today, the one which
is attracting the most attention and Gre

Il is called Spite Corner" When r. Fl.
Macy & co. began to acquire lots on
Thilty-fourth and Trirty-fifth streets

failed. When the time came to build
