CHOLERA IN RUSSIA.
Aslatic soourge Finds Many Victims
Among Lower classeI.

81. Petersburg Asiatic chol.
era in ST. Petersburg has assumed the
proportions of the epidemic OF 1891
Up to noon of Saturday. September

cases have been oflleially reported at
the hospitals.
The scourge continues to find its
victims almost universally among the
lower classes, who exist In conditions
ideal for the propagation Of the chol-
era. In one quarter, for example.
there reside 10000 workmen who
have the services OF but one single
doctor. There are no water mains In
this section. and the people drink the
polluted water of the canal.

here in the heart of Africa? Yes, there are fifty or more white men connected with the mines, and some have their fam Hes here with them. Altogether there are a half dozen white women and numerous children. As 1 walked through the hotel grounds I saw a baby carriage at the door of one of the huts and a rosy-cheek- led little boy of three tagged at my heels. The town has it's football and cricket grounds, and there is a tennis court in which these ladies are among the players. Broken Hill has its afternoon teas and now and then public dinners.
 Business in Mid-Africa.
 There are perhaps a dozen business es- tablishments Some of them are in sheds of galvanized iron, but the others are made of white ant clay having roofs of grass thatch. Every shop sells variety of goods. The shelves are full of canned stuffs from Europe and the United States. There are hams, tongue and canned beef from Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha, canned fruits from California and salmon from Oregon and Alaska. The most of the hardware and tinware comes from Europe, and this is so also of the jams and the jelles. The storekeepers are En- glshmen and the native blacks act as clerks. Everything is sold at high prices. Bread costs 9 cents loaf tin cup sells for a shilling and butter is 70 cents pound. A common case knife which would bring dime in New York costs 50 cents at Broken Hill, and all other things are in like proportion.
 I find many American goods used here and there over Africa. l have written about our cottons in Abyssinia and Uganda. They are far superior to any other, and it is their excellence only that makes them sell in competition with the German and English cottons which are everywhere pushed. It is the same with our meats. They form large part of the

 north of the Zambesi river and at the A northern end of the railroad system of South Africa. This is the rail head of the Cape to Cairo trunk line, which now reaches from here to Cape Town, dis tance of more than 2000 miles. l am quite as far from Cape of Good Hope as from Boston to Denver, and farther north of the southernmost point of Africa than Hudson bay is north of the Gulf of Mex ico The road is only temporarily stopped at this point, and by the time this letter is published the work of laying the tracks northward may be again under way The late Alfred Belt, the friend of Cecil Rhodes, who like him made great fortune in South Africa, left $6,O00O0O to. be used for the extension of the Cape of Cairo system, "and this to be employed toward pushing the road to Lake Tan ganyika" As 1t is now, it is only about POO miles from the borders of the Kongo Free State, and within 45o miles of Tan ganyika Some of the building bewteen here and NlctOTld fdllS Was uOtt at lHc rate of a mile a day, and a year or so, if the work is pushed, will easily suffice to complete the steam route from here to the Mediterranean sea. A flying sur vey has been made to the great copper de- posits of the Kongo Free State, and after the road reaches there the Belgians will aid in that branch of its construction.
 By Steam Through Africa.
 I refer to the Cape to Cairo line a steam route, including in that term trans portation by boat and cars. There will never be one continuous iron track north and south across this continent. The traffic will not warrant it, and besides there are deep waterways which can be used to save almost third of the con struction The longest stretch of rail will be from Cape Town north to Lake Tam ganyika. This is just about as far as from New York to the Great Salt Lake. and it comprises almost one-half of the route from the Cape of Good Hope to the Mediterranean sea.
 Lake Tanganyika is a narrow trough in the mountains running almost north

tickets cost about one-third less, and the third class are not half as much as the first. For those who wish to travel with out regard to cost private cars may be had. These have cooking and dining com partments attached to them, and a sim gle car has every arrangement to accom- modate six persons. It has a dining room, kitchen, bathroom and bed rooms. The railroad company furnishes a cook and all the provisions. The terms are $500 a month, which includes board, lodging and travel This is an average of $10 per person per day and it seems to me com paratively cheap.
 From Victoria Falls Northward.
 Good travelling arrangements stop with Victoria Falls, although private cars may be brought northward to Broken Hill l came on the ordinary train and had first-class compartment all the way. l had to carry my own food and bedding, however. The travel through the wilds is light and the road has not been com pleted long enough to maKe the demand for comforts warrant the expense of fur nishing them It takes two nights to make the trip to this point, and few thick blankets enable one to sleep well on the ordinary cushions of the car. l have rolled up my overcoat and used it for a pillow, and notwithstanding the jolting have slept like top.
 The eating is more difficult matter. I had tin cracker box filled with such things as canned tongue and ham, with several varieties of pickles which serve as a relish and aid in cutting the grease. I started out with some canned butter, but will say nothing about that; it was amply strong enough to speak for itself.
 l had also some jam, made in London, which I spread on top of my ham sand wiches, and that took it's place. As to bread, I carried three loaves with me from Victoria Falls hotel, and I will get another supply here when I go back.
 Tea From Pills.
 I have had excellent tea, which brewed with hot water from the locomo- tive At meal times the black boy who Is in charge of the car brought me a ket- tie and I made my tea with tea pills. l wonder if you have ever heard of the lit- tie tabloids of compressed tea, invented by Burroughs, Welcome S Co., of London.

and south for a distance of 400 miles. It is right along the survey of the trunk line and the cars can be run on the steamboats and ferred across it.
 From the upper end of Tanganyika to Khartum only 40 miles of railway are needed. The distance between the two points is 1870 miles, but 1260 miles of it can be made by water. From Khartum the steamboats on the Nile are already running for more than 1000 miles, and with 100 miles more railroad passengers can reach Lake Albert It is but a short stretch from there to Lake Albert Edward and Lake Kivu so you see tte Cape to Carlo system is approaching completion. The roads yet to be built are not as long as from Philadelphia to Chicago, and more than one-half of the work will be finished when this line has reached Tan ganyi<a.
 Rhodesian Railways.
 For the past month or more l have been travelng over the railroads of Rho- desia. Those already constructed meas ure something like 25OO miles, and they have all been built within the last l5 years They were laid out by Cecil Rhodes, but he died before they had reached the Zambesi and the greater part of his travelling through the country was done in OK wagons. The roads are well built and travelling over them is com fortahla The gauge is one meter, or 8 feet 6 inches. The rails are comparative ly light most of them being from 40 pounds to 50 pounds per yard. Some of the cars are magnificent. The trains de luxe carry cooking and dining arrange ments, and my car to Victoria Falls had a shower bath with a coil of pipe which ran round and round, furnishing a needle spray.
 One can now get on train of that kind at Cape Town and ride to Victoria Falls without change. The distance is 1900 or TOO miles, and the first-class fare is just about $S0 The meals good and the prices cheaper than at home. Breakfast costs 50 cents. On the Rhodesia roads the dining car rates are a trifie higher. but nowhere are the meals as much as $1 The rate from Cape Town to Broken Hill is over $10O, but the second-class

Journalistic Enterprise.

From Everybodys Magazine.
 Booth Tarkington says that in no state have the newspapers more journalistic enterprise than in his native Indiana. While stopping at little Hoosier hotel in the course of hunting trip MT. Tark- ington lost one of his dogs.
 Have you a newspaper in town?" he asked of the landlord.
 Right across the way, there, back of the shoemaker's," the landlord told him. "The Daily News-best little paper of it's size in the state."
 The editor, the printer, and the print CTS devil were all busy doing justice to MT. Harrington with an incur midst" paragraph when the novelist arrived.
 I've just lost a dog Tarkington ex- "and I'd like to have you insert this ad for me: Fifty dollars reward for the return of pointer dog answering to the name of Rex. Disappeared from the yard of the Mansion house Monday night .
 Why, we were just going to press, sir" the editor said, but we'll be only too glad to hold the edition for your ad"
 Mr. Tarkington returned to the hotel. After a few minutes he decided, however, that it might be we'll to add No ques- tions asked to his advertisement, and returned to the Daily News office.
 The place was deserted, save for the skinny little freckle-faced devil, who sat perched on high stool, gazing wistfHlly out of the window.
 "Where is everybody" Tarkington asked.
 'Gawn to hunt tn dawg.' replied the boy without removing his gaze from the distant fields.
