THE SPREAD OF CHOLERA.
Small Likelihood That Infection Could
Do Much in This Country.

From the New York Times
The germs of cholera are very easily
killed. and they are carried from case to
case In such limited number of ways that
II ordinary precautions are taken II is a
rather difficult matter to contract the dis
ease. Drying kills them in two hours and
IL dried in the sunlight they perish even
sooner, so that there is practically no dam
ger in handling dry articles which have
been In contact with a patient-indeed the
nurses In attendance are as rarely attacked
as those attending typhoids. II care is
taken with disinfection. the sufferers can
be safely treated In a general hospital with
other diseases.
Cholera spreads along lines OF travel
because II Is carried by the sick themselves,
and not on dry merchandise. Quarantine is
for the sole purpose OF OBTAINING the sick
to prevent them from injecting water sup
plies or moist foods. Commerce need not
be fnterfered with, except to prevent the
infected territory. Even should the germs
be introduced into the water and an epi-
demic be started. no one Is In the slightest
danger II he uses boiled water and cooked
foods. BY these means our troops passed
safely through an epidemic which caused
many deaths among Filipinos.
1t is also known that the germs cannot
live more than a few days IN the water of
canals and rivers. and even In India they
perish in three weeks fn q well or cistern so
that an epidemic should be very promptly
stopped by fsoiat1ng the cases to prevent
further contamination OF the water.
Fortunately. or unfortunately, according
to the way we look at IT, the germs prompt
ly die IN beer and wines-as soon as fifteen
minutes In acid wines. This knowledge
might be the cause OF undue drinking in
epidemics were IL not for the fact that
such course would upset the digestion and
destroy our best safeguards healthy stom-
ach. Almost any acid kills the germs, and
the old plan OF using II in drinking water
10 scientifically correct The germs are said
to Ole in ten minutes on the cut surface OF
q lemon. Similarly large numbers can be
killed by the acid juices OF the healthy
stomach should any germs be accidentally
swallowed For these reasons the intemper-
ate, with deranged digestion. are very apt
to be Infected where others escape.
There would be no cause for alarm should
the disease be introduced into this country
from the German ports where cases are re-
ported. for we are surrounded by too many
safeguards. The chief danger lies in the
concealment OF a case. 30 that It could m

JAPANESE THOROUGHNESS.

Experience of American Sailors With
 Mikado's Secret Service Men.
 The thOroughness of the Japanese preparations for the undoing of Rus sian power in the far east is illustrat- ed by an incident which occurred upon the arrival at Nagasaki of the Occi- dental and Oriental Steamship .com- pany's liner Doric. The Doric arrived at San Francisco the other day, and her officers tell the story, says the San Francisco Call.
 About 2:40 p. m. on May 2S, the sec ond day of the battle of the sea of Japan, the Doric, on her way to Ma gasaki, about 100 miles away and 14O miles south of the battle-ground, sight ed three Russian war vessels. One of them was low in the water and evil dently in dire distress. Her pumps were going and an immense stream was pouring from her side. In spite of the pumps, however, she seemed to be sinking lower and lower.
 The Russians when the Doric passed were clrcling about in an apparently Rimless way, evidently anxious to keep secret their intended destination. One of the czar's ships dipped her ensign in acknowledgment of the Doric's sa- lute, but no other signals were ex- changed, and the Doric proceeded with out finding out the names of the ships of war.
 Early the next morning the Doric reached Nagasaki. The liner was board ed by Japanese secret service men, who inquired as to whether any Rus sian ships had been sighted. Captain Smith told all he knew. He gave the Japanese the position in which he had.

left the Russians and informed them of the almost helpless condition of at least one of heih.
 What were their namesT'' the secret service man asked.
 "We could not make cut their names" /"
 Would you know the ships if you should see them againf'
 The Doric's officers said they thought they would. Within half an hour q Japanese official came on board with an album, in which was an excellent photograph of every warship that flies the flag of the cEar.
 One by one the Doric's officers picked out the three fuSitves. That night or the next day a Japanese officer board ed the poric, thanked the officers for the information, and said he was glad to report that the Japanese had taken all three of tifefn. The Doric's officers de not remefnber the names, but ca blegram received May 30 from Naga- sakt- said, "The three war vessels sighted by the Doric were the Inumrud, also a cruiser of the Aurora type and the gunbeat Kazarasky. the latter leak ing"
 When the Dorie arrived at San Fran cisco, 1t was supposed that the vessels they saw were the three cruisers which afterward reached Manila.

A story of first love and telepathy between man and woman who had once seen, but never spoken to each other, was learned the other night in Newark, N. J., by New York Ameri- can reporter in an interview with the Rev. H. w. Bigelow, Baptist mis- sionary preacher.
 Seven years ago the minister saw a woman whose nature he realized at once was akin to his own. He did not speak to her and never saw her again, but during all the years of separation he has held converse with her, he says, and received greetings from her daily. He has no doubt that eventually they will meet in the flesh, even as their spirits greeted each other at that first meeting.
 The Rev. Mr. Bigelow has had a church at Pueblo, Mexico, for some years. and his standing in the Baptist church is excellent. His social posi- uon is equally good. He is unmarried and lives with his aged mother in a fashionable boarding house at Newark in the most aristocratic section of the city. His education is of a character that precludes the probability of his being led astray by freak theories, while his mind is that of an evenly bal anced man.
 The minister, who is thirty-fiye years old, told his strange story as follows:
 'Tn June, 1S9S was in Philadelphia on clerical business. finished 1t and started to leave the city. While stand ing on street corner waiting for car I experienced a strange sensation and when turned, involuntarily, re- alized it's cause. A young woman, about eighteen years old. was standing near me. She was a remarkably beau- tiful girl, with flowing light hair, large blue eyes, a prettily molded face and well rounded form. She was below medium height. Every lineament is indelibly impressed upon my mind, and so strong is the recollection that no effort of mine to picture or de scribe her could ever approximate jus tice to her charms. .'
 T had scarcely rested my eyes upon her when she turned and met my glance. There was an instant inter- change of recognition. although we never had seen each other before I knew I had met my affinity but my clerical garb precluded the possibility of approaching her and introducing myself. I boarded my car. So did she, and when I left her face was painted on my memory so brightly that nothing has been able to erase the lines" :-.s.- "A.

TRAIN WITH A RATHsKELLER CAR

Vanderbilts Introduce Novelty For Men Travelling Between Pittsburg and Cleveland = System of Annual | Passes For Employees = Baltimore and Ohio Lines Test Bureau-Illi-

 Soon it will be more comfortable to,
 travel than to stay at home. The de-
 mand for luxuries on the modern
 through trains has taxed the ingenuity
 of train builders, while the fierce con-
 petition for passenger business be- tween rival roads has compelled man. agers to install every accessory to the comfort of the travellers as rapidly as 1t is perfected, says the Chicago Tri- bune.
 An engineer of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern has perfected a novel apparatus with which the road Is now making practical tests. It is intended to cool the air of the train and at the same time to rid it of dust and other impurities. The application of the steam heating device already has guaranteed uniform temperature In winter.
 The new cooling apparatus consists of sort of huge atomizer, so con- structed that at stated intervals gusts of cool and moist air, coming directly from freezing plant, will be blown through the cars. This method is con- Bidered superior to the electric fan, which merely stirs the dust laden and vit1ated air.
 The air which Is blown out by this atomizer is drawn in from the outside, filtered and is then circulated around the pipes in the refrigerating plant. At the same time it is moistened by the mingling of fine sprays of pure water The moistening of the air is one of the most important features of the appa-. ratus. It is claimed that the moisture collects the dust particles and precipi- tates them
 The Vanderbilts recently put a novel piece of rolling stock on their profitable little road, the Pittsburg and Lake Erie, in the shape of ''rathskeller'' car, which is to be run daily between Pittsburg and Cleveland, says a spe- cial dispatch from Pittsburg to the New York Press, The car has been introduced to meet the requirements of the many business men who make the trip between the two cities, often three and four times each week. It Is one of the handsomest pieces of rail- road equipment in the United States, and is said to have cost $27,OOO. In form it is combination cafe and club affair, with general rathskeller effect.

been known to intimate friends for a long time. and it was through the re- marks of'one that reportef obtained the facts. MT.
