BvT7 A 'm ,n ta lnterT'ew yesterday . It
Hftjta only does justice to Health Officer Jen.
aLj iBWBt whose work at Quarantine ainoe the
BM eholera danger was reoogniced has been
Ki-gJBu1(vd by intelligence and energy. In-
Wv"- deed, ao f ar aa Quarantine is concerned,
Hfejf 3 - there doss not seem to be much risk of
bbsWX'' thediseaae makiug its entrance into New
&& York through the port.
Hh' But we are open to invasion by the

fcSi" cleanliness at home, ia absolutely neces-
Hk?v V ()r to prevent the diaease from obtain-
Kk bsg a sure foothold in tha city if it
HkK. Bid unfortunately, make ita appear-
Hfe-'l- BBeahere.
Ki'f '- Tha streets of the city are unquertlon
BKlt ,v mtcn better cleaued than formerly,
Ht'' but constant vigilance and unceasing
BV.'i work are needed to keep them so. Tbo
BKpk Board of Health should look more
Hvw akarply than ever into the sanitary condi-
f&V ties of 'the tenement-houses and should
Kj? "exerolse the moat thorough watch-
BJgg', fauMaa to prevent the ' violation
BS' ' or neglect of the aanitary lawa and rogu.
BX vf- latlona. A house to house visit by sani-
4!'' tary expert should be undertaken at
Ky1' obmm and repeated at intervalv during the
BXgw next three months, in order to make cer.
HfeM tatn that hotbeds for the growth of dis-
BM(V eaae are not Buffered to exist anywhere in
mmj Meelty. j
BKs It will not do to encourage ourselves by
Kjll'l the argument that the hot weather is
BK about over, and that before long the
Bfii "Winter will be here. Only a sharp frost
Bfeg: can kill the germs of cholera, nnd there
BBk . are three full months st least beforo us
BEp during which we shall be subject to the
Ksf danger of the disease.
KjH f It would be very advisable for the
BKt Health Board now to lay aside politics

mony, and the shock to, the prosecution
was the greater because' of the witnt'a
statement that the person committing the
murder could not possibly have escaped
getting blood on hk body In aome way.
Tims for tbo evidence offered 1km not
established anything of a tangible uatnro
ocninst the prisoner. Iho suspicious
circumstances ara all nusceptible of n
plain, lommon.seiiBe explanation. There
aro hints, however, that tbo whole story
is not yet told, nnd that vthat remains br.

character. But there bsvo been altogether
too many sensational rumors sot afloat by

FOB WHITE HEN OSLY.
The Bepubllcans of Louisiana are mak
ing strong efforts to secure one or two of
tho CoucreaRinen from that State. The
Third District has beon Democratic since
188), but the district is ruoro largely than
any other Interested in tlm Sugar bouu.
tios, and the Kopublicntu are hopeful of
redeeming it this rear under tho argu
ment th.tt the sugsr iutercsu are safer in
the hands of a llcpublican than of a
Democratic Iteproseutative.
To thia end the ltepubllcan Committee
has issuod a rail fur a conference at
Franklin on Sept. 7th, ' ' for the purpose
of selecting a llopublictn candidate to
represent the district in the Fifty-third
Congrers." The rail closes with the sig
nificant sentence i " Tim above confer
ence is for white men only."
So here is the great negro-loving Ke
publican party, whose sense of justice ia
shocked at the alleged disfranchisement
of the colored Aoter by the Southern
1 Democrats, and whose leaders loudly de.
i roand a force law, which shall put
bejonets at the ballot-box, excluding
negroes from any voice in tbe selection
of a candidate to represout them in Con
grts. This incident illustrates the sort of
friondship the ltepubllcan politician
have for the negro. Ho may vote for
ltepubllcan candidates, and to enable
him to do so he shall be protected at the
polls. But he it allowed no hand in se.
lectin? such candidates. That is the
work ot white men. The blacks are uot
wanted for Mich purposes, and at Repub
lican conferences no colored person need
apply.
IHE FINAHC1FR AHD THE TIASOEE.
Now comes another report that the ox
convict, Ferdinand Winn, is about tc.
be married. This time also the ladv Is of
Connecticut. Of course, she is beautiful
and wealthy. They always are in the re
ports. The Interesting informatiou is
conveyed that Ferdinand Ward occupies
n seat In tho ' ' family pew " on Sundays,
and that the fiancee is constantly seen
"riding behind Wash's fast trotters,
formerly the property of the Vandor
bllts." The crimes of Ferdinand Ward brought
ruin on a number of innocent people.
The prince of swindlers dragged honor
able names Into the mire. When he failed
it was well surmised that he had secreted
onough money to make himself rioh for
the rast of his life. Ho oould well afford
to wear a 8tate prison suit for a few years
when he could come out to enjoy his
stolen wealth at the end of his term.
When we hear of this criminal driving
"fast trotters" formerly owned by tho
Vandebbilts. is it not plain that real
juttioe in his cose has failed ?
FEOI'8 PEBPLFXITr.
Labor Commissioner I'rcc fiuds it
necessary to apologize for tho unreliable
and evidently " doctored " report which I
he thought proper to inject iuto the Pres
idential campaign for the bennlt of tba
ltepubllcan party. He denies that he is
"hostile" to Mr. Cleveland; do.
nlei that he had auy political ob.
ject in making a summary of his
ridiculous report, and declare! that when
it is published in full " nil the protoction
pspera of the whole country will havo to
atand from undor. " Mr. Peck claims that
it will "furnish the most complete ref u.
tation of the theories of tho protectionists
in regard to wages that has ever been
published. "
Stuff and nonsense, Mr. PrcR. Your
report is a humbug and a fraud from
beginning to end. Tbo fact that you
will not or dare not ghe the public the
names of the manufacturers who made
the returns on which it is based, is
sufficient proof of that. It cannot
help or hurt the protectionists - it cannot
help or barm the Democratic party. 'Ihe
best thing you can do is to burn your
report and all tho secret returns in
your possession, bide your head from
the public, and hold 1 5 our tongue. You
have attempted a plrco of political trick
ery which has utterly failed, and nobody
wonts to hear anything more from jou.
Tho New York Post-Oftice not onlv
pays itH own expenses, but contributes a
' large surplus to the Depsrtmcut. It is
entitled to nil the money and men needed
to give tho public tbo ery best service
pouiblo, and wheu wo read of the Acting

The girl haing died, the bero.wed lover
smothered his grief sufficiently to bring
suit against her tmromantio papa, who

A shot which was not fired from a gun

The inauguration of the New York

Gov. Flower is charged with a high re
sponsibility In speaking for the great

Whether or not the cholera reaehet thia
city one, advantage of the scare will be
that New York will receive the most
thorough cleaning it baa bad for yean, if
instructions or the health officials are
faithfully carried out.
Gov. Flower emphatically contra
dicts the absurd story that ex-President
Cleveland had asked him to aend troopa

Through some mistake only eighteen

Halifax boasts of a mother who hat for

I dropped Into nolmet's ntar Theatre In
Brooklyn yesterday morning while the re
hearsal ot John L. Hutltran's new play,
" capt. llarcourt," wan going on. Sullivan
viewed tho proceedings with a critical eye at

carpenters and electrto bunch llghta than In
hit support. He knew his own lines well,
however.

The Ideal Woman.
Miss Anna Haydn Webster, Is the oldest
compound of dress reform, Tbeosopliy, Chris
tian science, scgctarlnnlstn, telepathy, and a
tew other things that ever amazed achau
ii -Kin audience. In tho r.rnt place she
(iiu.. l tho gatekeeper at the dock by
apiesrlug In a Greek robe made of gray
kcrgc, sl'evele. and cut (Ulto low Iq the
neck. Tills was her travelling gown. Iho
face, Miss Webster argues, extends below the
collar bono and clear loheflnjcr tips, and
tocover tbo neck and arms, therefore Is to
conceal tho most cxpressUe part ot the coun
tenance, bo nil her gowns, Summer and W In
ter, aro mad" after tho Gnck model. For
cold weather she has a sort of cape or modi
fied pcplum tn throw around the shoulders,
which gives additional warmth without en.
tlrely concealing tho " expressive ngencj."
The Ideal vioman, she snt', lu a recent
Chautauqua lecture, Is tho unmarried wo.
man. She finished by saying that tho perfect
woman will appear In the next century, and
will bo tho second saviour ot man.
.Miss Weoslei comes from Ilojton, and Is
quite a popular lecturer there. In a few
years she ex pects to open a school for oung
women, to be modelled attcr tnatof sappho
at Lcsrxn. It w HI be derofd lo tho det clop
mentot tbe perfect woman, and the Greek
gowns and soul culture will occupy an Impor
tant placo on tho curriculum.
Latest Things in Hail.
Among the latest novelties Is a bonnet
msdeot red currants. Itlsot tbe erownlcss
order, and has velvet strings tbe same color
as the fruit. A large hat of coarse cream
straw draped with lace and with a currant
bush planted exactly In front was recently
seen. It bad a bunch ot red velvet ribbon
loops on the crown, and a few at the back
also, drooping over tho brim. The greater
numb?r of bats Just now have tbo bulk of the
trimming plat od In front. There Is no very
striking novelty In felts. Tbe travelling hats
are mostly boat-shaped, trimmed at the side,
with ears or bows ot velvet, and perhaps a
wing. The most comfortable and practical
sort of travelling bat Is made ot soft cloth
trimmed only with rows ot stitching, which
can be doubled up and carried In one's pockot
without looking any the worse.
House Costume.
A Pretty Little Traveller.
A quaint, charming little maid was teen In
a railroad car tho other day. She had fair
hair falling In curls on her shoulders, a pink
and white complexion, and might have been
six or seven yeais old. Her costume was
most plcturesqtio and made la Old-World
style. If consisted ot a short-wnlstcd coat or
cloak of art-greeu crepe, with a Watteau
plait, and was worn over a frock of white
cambric. Tbe little lady's hat was a large
whlto one, trimmed with white gauze and
bunches of whlto flowers, and on her tiny
bands (she wore no gloves) were three tiny
rings set with diamonds and rubles.
ea
Novel Evening Dress.
A new e enlng gown recently seen had long
sleecs cf palest pink gauze, rumpled all the
way up, and very full and large at the top to
gltettldth to the shoulders, and though tbe
neck had the appearance of being low. It bad
a cross-over arrangement ot game Inside,
which could be eo arranged as to entirely
conceal all scragglncss. The bodice was
made with a llttlo lulncss and fastened on
tnc left side. Tbo material ot which tbe gown
t as rondo was black grenadine, patterned
with threo-lncb square checks In pink, and
tbo lining was pink silk. Like most gowns,
It had a satin sash arranged to tlo at the side.
Language of Postage Stamps.
Although frequently printed, several re
quests bare recently been made for tho
languago of postago stamps, so hero It Is
again: 1. On right corner, Friendship. 2.
on right corner, upside down, " rlto soon."
3. Hlght corner, crosswsys, Good-by." 4.

a lllgbt bottom corner, "Do you love me J"
7. Bottom of right corner, upsldo down,

Coats for Autumn Wear.
F.ton and Harrow jackets aro growing in
favor us the Autumn approaches. Not only
do women have their tailor and outing gowns
made with these tiny coats, but many of the
lending modistes are turning out Eton Jack
ets In big plaid hlivs, to wear with various
underskirts, blue terge, black- silk, or even
while duck, If while Is pruterred. '1 bey are
scry smart looking and offer u pleasing varia
tion to tbo monotonous llarer cut tbat lias
prctallcd for tbe past lew jears. When cor
rt ctly tnndo tbey have the short, sharp Lton
point In Ihe back, crisp rolled fronts, wide
revcr.sand tollii, and may Le nnlshid around
the lower edsc with ribbons and lalllng loops
and ends. A Mlk ot btrongly contrasting
elude Is usually employed lor the lining, a,
for example, a Jacket or blue and green plaid
U faced ulth a pale-gold shade.
A rnnel coat that gives promise ot winning
popularity has the irontt cut abort with tbe
Jacket effect In front, while the back is
straight and long, extending to the knees.
A narrow belt nf ribbon or metal slips over it,
denning the waist line, aud It fastened to oas
V
side. This style It only adaptable to slim,
graceful figures and vtheio tho dress It ex
tremely sevcro In Its lines. Tho onlv elabo
ration Is noted in tho sleeves that continue
to grow larger as the weeks go by, and In tbe
exaggeratedly wide collar deepening behind
to the middle of the shoulders, and In front
falling In a full Jtbo'.-llke rever.

A Dainty Bonnet.
Bonnets arc worn this year almost as much
by maids as matrons, and this sketch shows a
dainty capote of etude Nil tulle, the frame
work consisting of glittering " fish-scale" Jet
work, fashioned Into a knot In front and fin-
lshed with a "butterfly" or "Mephlsto
aigrette. Tbo strings are shorter than usual,
and arc ot leaf-green ribbon velvet, fattened
In a small butterfly bow at the side.
A Song of Love.

Bridal Trips on the Ocean.
A trip to Europe sounds to well to tell one'a
friends and to tee noted In the society col
umns ot the newspapers that the tempta
tion Is very great to run the risk for the sake
ot the glory of such an announcement, but
when tbe ship begins to lurch and pitch
about, tbe waves rise mountain high, and
the stewards are pressed for time, then the
grim reality blots out tbe rosy visions. A
woman Isn't a bit pretty when sho Is seasick ;
for that matter, neither is a man, but some
bow a woman get so washed-out looking,
and even when that delightful period ot con
valescence sets In she la so limp, the aea air
takes the curl out of her bangs, she has no
Interest In life, and she doet not resemble In
tbe least degree tbe Btyllsh creature who
came aboard In a smart travelling gown
with " bride " unmlstakenly written In every
fold.
Don't Wrap Baby Too Warmly.
A physician who has devoted himself to a
study of children and their diseases declares
that as a rule children are too warmly clad,
and that while care should be taken to pro
tect them against sudden changes of tern
perature they should be much more lightly
dressed thtu they usually are. He strongly
recommends placing a baby on a hair mat
tress out of a draught, where It It warm, with
nothing on but a llttlo shirt and perhaps a
band, and letting him roll about and enjoy
himself for an hour or more each day. A
baby breathes through Us pores as well as
through Its lungs, and these breathing places
should not be covered up and rendered use
less, in the Hummer time lamb's wool socks
and a low necked merino shut are sufficient
protection with, of course, a little frock and
skirt, and a child accustomed to the air Is
as much more hardy and less susceptible to
changes in the weather.

A Neat Travelling Case.
' w
White Is fashionable.
As Is usual at this season of the year white
Is t cry popular. Just why It Is that when
tho white butterflleM come fluttering In
groups about the high-growing, sturdy Fall
flowers, whlto Llossoui3. as It were, lntc sud
den and unltersal voguo Is not easy to say.
Perhaps It Is tho law ot periodicity In which
tome people nnd ao much significance. What
ever may be the reason, for a good mauy sea
sons it has been tho same, with, however,
a decided difference as to materlaL Lost
season gowns of white wool were the mode,
and at the present moment these dainty
dresses arc of various kinds ot cotton goods,
while mull, as soft and fleecy as a summer
cloud. Is very popular aud la made In a
simple fashion with tbe full short waist
aud high purred sleeves ot tbe Empire style.
With these are worn large Tuscan straw hats,
trimmed In white feathers, lace andsatlu
ribbon and with deep veils of white net. cos.
tumes ot heavier white goods aro taller made
and nnlsbedwlih stitching about the edge.
When propirly made they are very dainty
and trim; lndecd.lt takes a sklllul tailor to
bring them tut sutcetslully. If they are not
especially well madu they ate a most dismal
failure, and It Is better to select eomelhlng
clso It one Is not alle to command the services
ot an expert. With these tailor-made white
gov, ns are worn sailor hats plainly trimmed
with a simple bend and bow, and low tboesof
white tuckskln, tilth while stockings.

Self-Watering Flower Pot.
An exceedingly clever Idea In the line a
flower pots Is tbe suggestion ot BFrenet
florist. As seen from tbo illustration, i
loosely woven circular cord, preferably
lamp wick, Is Imbedded In the earth aronal
' the plant, and after passing through the bet
torn of the pot rests in the shallow water
' receptable ot the surrounding vase. Tht
earth Is always kept moist by the capillar;
' attraction, and the plant by this method
' never Injured by an excess ot water.

Sweet clover, for Instance, which Is not dlffi

exbalea Is quite unobjectionable, but Is ttu
abhorred by rites.
To Make Cherry Bounce.
This Is wild cherry season and people r
turning from tbe country will do wellti
bring home a few quarts ot the fruit asl
make aome cherry bounce by tbe rollowtaj
recipe:
Take small, black, wild cherries, and whet
fully ripe put them in demijohns and ratsn
more than cover them wltb white spirits (at
about $3 per gallon), cork tightly and tot
them atand two or three months at least-e
year, If more convenient, will do them se
harm. When ready to make up, pour off tin
spirits and cork up. Put on tho cherrkB
enough boiling water to cover them, letitnf
them stand for a week ; then strain, with tni
spirits, through flanno adding one plot ot
Jamaica rum to three gallons of spirits ana
water. Three gallons wtll also require tea
pounds of sugar, which may be added after
straining. It too strong or bitter, more
spirits may be added to suit the taste, cork
tightly In quart bottles and keen tn a dark
place. The bounce improves with age.
Elaborate Stockings.
Never have stockings been more elaborate
than this season. They are likely to be smart
while trailing dresses which require holding i
up are tbe fashion for street wear. Prettj
stockings for ovenlng wear In black lavs
delicto colors introduced under the lacel
fronts-blue, pink or yellow. Tartan patten .
seem very popular Just now. S
