Hamlet gathered at the windows of the
dining room and appeared to enjoy the
situation. Meanwhile Senator Bacon
and friends paced the platform and did
a lot OF thinking.

An Ingenious Scheme of Beer Gar
den Owner.

ST. LOUIS. Mo, Aug 25.-Fritz Adolf
ply. whose beer garden in South St.
Louis half century ago was the rendez-
vous of prominent St. Louisans. died
few days ago at Clifton. Ariz. He was
eighty-three years old
Fritz's place became famous by rea-
son Of the women "barkeeps" whom he
employed. He had no masculine walters
at all The city fathers disapproved Of
Fritz's bonhomie retreat, and passed au
ordinance that no women should act as
mattresses to serve beer.
Then for the first time the proprietor
sought a lawyer, who discovered a flaw
in the ordinance. The lawyer informed
Fritz that no one could prevent a daugh-
ter Of the owner OF. the place serving
her fathers guests.
Thereupon Fritz called all his wait
resses together and hied with them to
the orphans court, wheFe he adopted
ninety of them as his daughters.
For many years these dutifuI maidens
served their foster fathers patrons with
profit to themselves. Fritz and certain
members of the town council.
The range of nationality in the wait
resses would indicate that the old map
had gathered his family from as many
countries as Solomon did his wives.
From fair Gretchens to swarthy daugh-
tiers of Italy and saucy American girls,
they swarmed about the confines OF Fritz

SPREAD OF CHOLERA .
FEARED BY FIJI. OS
Epidemic in Islands Threatened by
Exposure OF Water to Germs.

Danger of a widespread outbreak Of
cholera in the Philippines. through the
threatened infection of drinking water
supplied by city mains. is now causing
the Government health officials on the
islands no little alarm. While no cpl
demic has yet developed from this cause,
the physicians are in constant fear that
the disease will be disseminated at al
most any moment
The report OF Assistant Surgeon Hell
ser, chief quarantine officer Of the ISL
snds, sets forth that the cholera situa-
tion itself is improving steadily In the
week covered by the report. there were
eight cases and seven deaths. With one
exception the recent outbreak has been
confined entirely TO the Chinese colony.
II can generally be shown that the per
sons affected have either directly or in
directly come in contact with the Pasig
River
Much anxiety is felt about the chol-
era, which is still present on the water
shed that supplies Manila with its drink
ing water the report states further.
There has been an alarming increase in
the number OF cases. During the week
OF July 1. 1903. there were 81 cases and
80 deaths. which is an increase of IS
cases and IS deaths over the period GOV
cred by my last report.
1T is generally felt that the delay IN
the onset of the rainy season has been
of great assistance in preventing the
stream which drains the watershed from
becoming infected. It is thought that
the drinking water supplied by the city
mains was not infected during the cpl
demic in Manila last year, therefore
should this supply now become infected.
the widespread dissemination Of the dis
ease can be well imagined.
During the week a case of cholera oc-
