New York, March 90 Tom J..
Johnson, former mayor of Cleveland,
Ohio, and Mrs. Johnson left this city
today, having been in consultation for
several days with MFR. Johnson's
physician. At their hotel 1t was said
that Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson probably
had returned to Cleveland, although
they might have gone to more hos

Johnson's physical condition, which

MAKE CAIRO ALL RIGHT"

The Retail Merchants Association
OF Cairo has been engaged for two
weeks past in efforts to impress the
outside world, especially the people
Of neighboring cities, with the idea
that Cairo Is IAN right" The mer-
chants feel that Cairo is suffering
seriously ina business way, from the
feeling among the people OF these
neighboring towns. that Cairo Is not
safe place to come to. This is
true especially of the women, upon
whom retail merchants chiefly de-
pend for business.
The effort of the association is
landable and ought to receive every
encouragement. The local railroad
passenger agents are interested and
will cooperate as far as possible In
the movement. Superintendent Me-
Laughlin, Of the Interurban, is first
to make special rate for service,
the date agreed upon being tomor-
row. Tuesday, when the people in
Alexander and Pulaski counties will
be given special inducements to
Visit Cairo. Some encouragement
has been received also from some OF
the team railroads, although they
are. hamperea in the matter by the
Interstate Commerce law. which re-
quires 30 days notice of any pro
posed excursion.
But a proposition which struck the
merchants most favorably, at the
two meetings which have been held,
was that, instead OF excursions, the
merchants offer rebate slips to all
buyers of merchandise. which slips
arc to be cashed at the association
headquarters and will in effect give
all buyers their transportation free,
sometimes more. This proposition
was strongly urged by Mr.. King. rep.

too lightly one remark by two gen

Mr.. King OF the Mobile & Ohio,
speaking at last weeks meeting, said
in substance the concensust Of opin-
ion OF the passenger departments OF
the several railroads seemed to be
that If Cairo wished to convince the
outside world that she was all right,
the best way to do this would be for
Cairo to behave herself and then adj
tvertise the fact AT the previous
meeting Mr.. Pennehaker said sub

VINCE the outside world that Cairo

1t was this that gave Cairo It's
series OF outrageous miscarriages Of
justice in murder cases; it " this
that has held the dissoute black
element in Cairo, making it reckless
and leading up to the crime OF Nov
s and to the popular uprising of Nov
III; it is this that is responsible for
the lesser offenzes against women
Pand for the mob of last month; ii is
this that has permitted dives to
exist in the city where rogues. black
and white. held their reves and en-
tieed strangers to rob them-it is
this, with the grating operations Of
some of the police, in which visitors
to the city were frequently the vie
tins. which has given to Cairo her
bad name In the minds Of the people
Of surrounding towns and has made
them afraid to come here! I'll.
II is gratifying to note that there
appears TO be now some decided
improvement, so far as the county
authorities are concerned. There is
strongly evident here a disposition to
iturn new leaf; and there is some
treason still to hope that there will be
la change of conduct in the police
department Of the city also, although.
as yet, there has been no evidence
worth mentioning of an earnest and
active desire to meet the commun-
lity's pressing need in this direction.
