5000 Die of Cholera.

ST. Petersburg, Oct. 4.-Cholera is!
increasing in Russia and especially
in this city where It seems to have
become firmly establiched. From
.',e start OF the outbreak thsre have
been in St. Petersburg alone 1854
cases and 5000 deaths.
During the month of September
the number OF cases increased "
everywhere, and the infection reach
ed, the wealthy part of the city and
the military academy. 1t is also
spreading throughout the country
districts. There were 226 deaths in
the provinces last week.
The nearer ST. Petersburg the in
fected districts are the greater the
number of victims, as for instance,
Tver, Yaroslav and Kostromar,
where the deaths last week were
twenty-three, eighty-three and thir
ty-five, respectively. Farther
south the figures are lower, yet
they show that the disease is in
creasing.
Europe generally is in danger Of
becoming infected with the plague.

Must they wink at and condone every

that the profession has reached that
