Several Hindoo princes are coming to this country soon to visit the world’s fair. Among them will be the Maharajah Gackwar of Baroda, one of the richest and best known potentates of ‘the cast. The first announcement of the in- tention of these distinguished people was made yesterday when United States Consul Ballan~ tine, who is now in New York city on his way to Chicago as our special commissioner from —_ addressed the following letter to Mayor oy: .

While no doubt the proverbial courtesies of our nation to distinguisbed foreigners will be extended toany such visitors from India, yet I must point out that one at least of those ‘think- ing of coming isa mabarajah, one of the highest princely rank, governing some twenty millions of subjects and controlling an ex- tezsive territory second to none in the east in richness, whose largest product is cotton, which in our civil war afforded England her main supply of this stapie articlo, This prince is no other than the Maharajah Gackwar of Baroda, already possessing the title of G. C. 8. 1. (grand commander of the Star of India), and in other ways is highly distinguished: while his wife, visiting England with her husband only last year, received marked honors from Quoen Victoria herself, being decorated with an honor first of its kind bestowed on a Hindoo princess by the queen in person. The Marahajah Gackwar is an accomplished gentleman of about twenty-eight, speaking several languages, and is today traveling in Europe, having signified to me that he would 1g cross over to our shores later on if assured of a welcome.

Rapid Transit, Gas Lamps, Better Streets and More Perfect Sanitary Arrangements Are Already Accomplished Facts—A Police Station Now Needed—The Men Who Are Responsible. ————— LTHOUGH ONLY two years old, the Citi- zens’ Association of 'Brightwood Avenue has accomplished about everything ithas under- taken, with possibly one or two exceptions, and on Friday evening of next week the members of the association will hold agrand jollification meeting in celebration > of what has been done in the way of improvements which make the vil- lage an enjoyable place in which to live. With the numerous improvements obtained thus far Brightwood has been placed within fifteen minutes’ ride of the city, the roads are in better condition than heretofore, and a month or two later gas lamps will brighten the road. ‘The gas mains are laid all the way through to Takoma, d all the houses erected during recent months are piped, so that the use of coal oil can no longer be raised as un objection to life there. About the only thing that has not been ob- tained by the association is better police pro- tection, although that will probably come in the near future, as the citizens are doing their best to have the Commissioners erect a sub- station in order that a resident officer may be called upon at any time. The street car service is as good of its kind as any about the suburbs, although the deadly trolley wires are in use. Faster time is made on the road than is us made by electric cars and the citizens are able to reach almost any point in the city within thirty minutes. The fight for an im- Proved railroad was an interesting one, as was a the struggle for other improvements, For ears the citizens had only bad a one-horse car ine, and then the running of the cars depended upon the atmospheric conditions or dition of the track and stock. In winter when tracks were covered with snow the citizens walked to and from the city, and many atime CAPT. THOS. LAY. in warm weather did the able-bodied men have to get out of the cars and help pick the heavy vehicles out of a mud hole and make a fresh start. All this is now a thing of the past, and it was through the efforts of the association that the change was effected. ‘THE ASSOCIATION'S START. ‘The untiring efforts of Mr. Arthur L. Keene, secretary of the association, to secure rapid transit brought the railroad question to the front and it was discussed at every meeting. The miserable strest car service had exas- Perated the secretary of ‘the association, long fore the association was thought of,and after 4 consuttation with Mr. N. E. Robinson anotico was published in Tax Stan calling for » mass meeting of the citizens, Nearly everybody in the county took Tue Stan, aud consequently there was a large attendance at the meeting. Later a call for another meeting was issued and on April 10, 1891, the association held its first meeting. Mr. J. L. Norris was elected presi- dent and Mr. Arthur L. Keene, secretary. For some months the association prospered, but an electric or cable road seemed as far off as ever, and some of the members became dis- heartened. ‘The result was that no meetings were held for several months and the associa- tion was a thing of the past. But all this time Mr. Keene was busily en- gaged in looking into the question of the rail- road and Senator McMillan camo to his assist- ance by introducing in the Senate a resolution on the subject, and Mr. Keonesent to the Com- missioners the following letter giving a history of the railroad question so far as Brightwood avenue was concerned: ‘MR, KEENE’S LETTER. A charter was granted about twenty years ago to the Silver Spring Company, allowing them to build and equip a street railway from Boundary street, Washington, to the District line, along 7th street extended or Brightwood avenue. One mile of the track was completed and soon thereafter sold to the Metropolitan. Last October two years ago a new charter was granted to another company, called the Bright- wood Railway Company, allowing 1t to build and operate a road over the same route as granted the Silver Spring, with the privilege of using the one mile of track from the Boundary street or Florida avenue to John Cammack’s or Rock Creek Church road. In addition to the one miie mentioned above the Brightwood com- pany built a little over a mile more, extending to Brightwood, and sold out soon thereafter to the Judson Pneumatic of New York, leaving about a mile and a half unbuilt, from Bright- wood to the District line. ‘The Judson company tore up the first mile of track and replaced it with a track somewhat similar to tho cable system, but containing a cylinder instead of a cable, after having kept the avenue torn up and its use as a vehicle roadway practically impaired for nearly « year. While reconstructing the first mile of track the company built a power house and three cars and used the track as a trial ground on which to test the practicability of its patent. They were not successful, and sbandoned their tests and sold the power house and fixtures to some private (presumably) individual. The Silver Spring company operated tho mile it built fora short while from Boundary street to the Rock Creek Church road. ME. A. L. KEENE. After the Metropolitan obtained the one mile it also operated it with horse cars, not from Boundary, but from a point two squares north or near Pomeroy street (the charter requiring it to start at Boundary street), which it bus continued to do for the Brightwood aud Judson companies ever since, the Brightwood eom- pary having never put a car of its own oa the road. ‘The rond as built by the Silver Spring, Brightwood and Pneumatic companies has been operated by the Metropolitan in a very inferior | manner. ‘The cars bave been, for the greater part of the time, old, rickety and dirty, and at times unfit for ladies and gentiemen to ride in. The horses, the greater part of them, ate worn- | out stock from the 9th and F street lines, and many of them so weak that a number of trips have to be abandoned because of the horse: giving out before getting to the end of the line. Our sensibilities have : times been 60 shocked by witnessing the struggles, falls and ufferings of these poor, sick and worn-out horses that we have many times demanded , their removal from the road through Agent Key of the 8. P.C. A. ccount of the worn- out wheels, bad horses and dirty tracks the cars very seldom mske anywhere near schedule time or accommodate the public. The cars vers seldom remain on the track one mile of its distance. During and after every snow car traftie is suspended, because snow plows are not sent out for twenty-four, forty-eight or sixty hours thereafter. The pacsengers are required e con- very often toget out and help readjust the cars on the track or stand in the mud and slush until it is done. in conclusion the charter as approved Oc- tober 18, 1888, has not been complied with as follows: In section 1. It has not built the road from boundary to Pomeroy strest and from Bright- wood to the District li In section 4. ‘The tracks have not been prop- erly paved and kept clean. In section 8, The road was not completed to the District line in two years after the passage of the act. In section 10, Cars of the best construction, ith all modern improvements necessary to tht comfort and conveniencs of passengers, have not been put on the road. For a long time the company faled to get up ® schedule and trips eldom run ou schedule time. In section 11. The company has not bought, leased or constructed such passenger rooms as are necessary at points along ite line for the comfort of the public. MR. A. G. OSBORN. Your honorable body is no doubt aware that we have brought to the notice of these several owners their failure to comply with the charter in the above entimerated respects, and that the service has been very little bettered since then, as any one who has ridden over the road will attest. We have suffered much and long. RENEWED ACTIVITY. The publication in Tax Star of this letter caused a sensation among the railroad officials who were interested, and it also renewed the en- thusiasm of members of the association, whoagain turned out and attended the meetings in such numbers that the meetings wore watched with interest by persons interested in the northern part of the county. Some of the meetings were unusually interesting. and finally it be- came necessary for the railroad people to ap- r and defend their respective interests, When it was apparent that Congress would take favorable action on a bill for a new char- ter, committees were appointed to wait on moneyed men and the stock was soon sub- scribed. The work of putting down the double tracks and erecting the power house was pushed forward, and just two years after the organiza- tion of the association the people along the line of Brightwood avenae as far out as Silver Spring and across the country to Takoma w comed the rapid transit line. From the me: handful of passengers who were willing to risk atrip on the ‘get-off-und-push” lino the num- ber has increased until now an average of fully 3,000 persons ride over the road on week days and several times that many on Sundays. OTHER REFORMS. Bat rapid transit was not all that was wanted. Gas lamps were needed and the association, aided by the Takoma Park Association, made anearnest appeal to the gas company. The company seut a representative to the meetings, and finally the pipes were laid all the way to Takoma." The residents wil! not only be abl to have their houses illuminated, but afte beginning of the 1 mamber of lamp ie avenue in places where ther Then, too, shade curbing and brick sidewalks laid and the road is being kept in better condition than ever before. ‘The latest move made by the association is the one looking toward better sanitary ar- rangements, At present the citizens have no cause for complaint so far as the healthfulness of the locality is concerned, but they are using every means in their power to even improve the present conditions and make sewer con- nections where such are possibie. Already the work of the association is pro- ductive of many noticeable improvements in the way of building. More than one large tract of land has been subdivided, and in Brightwood Park more than three dozen fine residences have already been erected. This is due entirely to the electric road, for the clerks and others can come to the city to their work and return home in as short = time as they could to some remote part of the city. THE MEMBERSHIP AND OFFICERS, In the membership of the association are in- cluded residents of ail parts of the county north of Florida avenue, including many well-to-do and influential citizens, who have done effect- ive work to obtain the improvements needed. most needed. trees have been planted, MR. J. L.

Gatley, president of the as- sociation, is one of the best known and most popular citizens in the county north of Florida avenue. Like all other good citizens, he has the interest of the people at heart and is an earnest worker,not only for his own section, but for the District gene: He ia the second president of the organization and has been a member since theassociation was first organized, seldom missing a meeting. and always taxing an active part in the discnssion of matters of interest to j the association aud residents of the county ad- | jacent to Brightwood avenue. i VCE PRI | IDENT LAY. Among the most active workers in the asso- | ciation is Capt. Thomas W. Lay, who holds the | office of vice president in the organization. He | isa native of the District and belongs to one | of the oldest families here, being a son of the | late Richard Lay and a nephew of James Car- berry, one of the first mayors of Washington. At presenthe is « captain in the revenue marine | service, and although comparatively a young | man he has been on active duty in this branch of the service for thirty-two years, The an- cestral estate of the Lays, beautifully situated on Brightwood avenue nearly opposite the en- trance (0 Takoma Park, was suld afew years ago to Senator Don Cameron, who now owns it | Capt. Lay ha: ereeted @ beautiful home on the heights of Takoma and takes a deep interest in | affairs pertaining to the growth and progress of | the surrounding country, and as @ member of | the Brightwood Association he is ed in an. | earnest effort to improve the sanitary condition | of the surroundings. THE HUSTLING SECRETARY. The hustling member of the association is Mr. Arthur L. Keene, who has kept the min- utes of the organization from the date of the | first mass meeting held in Brightwood Hall to the present time. Mr. Keene is perhaps one of the bent-known citizens of the county, being master | of Stansbury Lodge, F. A. A. M. He was born in the District and is a graduate of the peas schools and Spencerian Business College, being at present principal of the Monroe public school building. As secretary of the associa- tion he has always been ready to perform the Auties im ‘upon him, and it is perhaps due to him that the association is now in existence, THE TREASURER, ‘Mr. A. C. Osborn, treasurer of the associa- tion, is an old resident of Brightwood, and he has watched with interest the steady improve- ments during the past few years. Nearly forty Years ago, when Brightwood was in the heart of ‘the countr; . Osborn settled there, and for peace, although owing to the law-abiding peo- ple in’ his neighborhood he has had but little to do in tho performance of his legal dutios. Ho is also the villago postmaster and has held that office during four presidential terms. Mr. Osborn is past master of Stansbury Lodge, F. A. A. M., and is also a member of the chapter. As treasurer of the association he has been faithful to his trust, as ho has to his other obli- gations, and has been an active member of the association, doing all in his power to make next week's celebration » success, ‘MB. J. L. NORRIS. One of the most active workers in the asso- ciation is Mr. J. L. Norris, who as the first president of the association succeeded in bring- ing out large gatherings and increasing the in- terest of thecitizens by making the meetings interesting and securing improvements of the public highways which would not otherwise ve been obtained. Both in hot and cold weather President Norris attendedall the meet- ings, and he was there during the time that the railroad service was bad, when the passen- gers were extremely fortunate if they did not hi the car several times and lend tance to the driver. Although not at present a resident of the county, Mr. Norris’ interest in the affairs of the association has not waned, and he is still an active member of the asso- ciation, ‘The committee in charge of the celebration Will conclude their Inbors early next week and already enough has been accomplished to insure success, Se ee SMOKELESS POWDER. Its Adoption of Great Importance te the Army. There is no question of higher importance in the army than the use of smokeless powder both for field artillery and for infantry. Its use will form a leading feature of this year’s military maneuvers in Germany and other Eu- Topean countries, These powders have been employed tos greater or less extent in former maneuvers during several years, but they are now beyond the realm of experiment, and their serviceability is well attested. It is, therefore, of high importance to accnstom officers and men to the conditions and tactical dispositions which they require, All the principal foreign countries have adopted this powder in one form or another, but while the United States army and navy have seriously considered the question the se- lection of a smokeless powder has yet to be made by this country. A SELECTION URGENT. The definite adoption of the Krag-Jorgenson gun makes the selection of a smokeless powder for it urgent. It has been pointed out that Denmark, which uses this rifle, has produced a new smokeless powder at her government fac- tory, which causes little smoke or fouling and no excessive pressure. Three thousand rounds Were fired from one rifle without injuring it, whilea gun could be left twenty-four hours without cleaning and yet suffer no injury. In firing tests the proportion of hiteat various Tanges was enormously in favor of the new powder over the cid. But it is represented that the powder used by our trial board in testing Fifles was a different product, the Belgian Wet- teren. This was selected after experiments with many foreign powders, and its results, as used at Springfield, bave often been spoken of. Nevertheless, it has not been recommended for regular adoption in our army. ‘The desire is, if possible, to have an American invention for regular use, and several such powders have given moreor less promising results. In ad- dition, at Frankford arsenal, where the army experiments with smokeless powder are carried on, various foreign devices have been tried, and foreign smokeless powder has even been fired at Saudy Hook in the eight-inch rifle. THE NAVY COMPOUND, At the Newport torpedo station the navy MN compound of macaroni form has been used in all caliers up to and including the 6-inch with excellent results, Its stability is especially noteworthy, its superiority to many European powders in remaining unchanged in different temperatures being very marked. In the point of safety it is all that ‘can be required. The G-inch gun, with a charge of twenty-five pounds and only 1.56 tons pressure, yielded 2,359 feet of initial velocity, while with twenty-six pounds 96 tons 1t yielded 2,469feet. Higher ve- ve been obtained in other countries, «with much higher pressure. Our naval authorities have officially reported that this powder yields higher and more regular ve- locities than the European products at lower and more uniform pressures, CHANGES IN TACTICAL MANEUVERS, In regard to the changes in tactical ma- nenvers which the free uso of smckeless pow- ders will canse, it is represented that the de- fense may be assisted by being able to open fire on the attack without having its own position aud force thereby disclosed. At Aldershot re- cently a battery. which had been firing at the distance of a mile and a half upon the body supposed to be attacking it, had disclosed ite position so little that, merely for the sake of giving the attacking party practice, it was re- quested to fire a few churges of black powder, so that its position and distance might be dis- covered. ‘This ia only one instance of the changes that may be expected from the general intro- duction of smokeless powder, so that its use in this year's maneuvers will be watched with much interest. ee THE BATTLE SHIP MAINE, Preparations for = Dock Trial of Her Engines. Arrangements are now being made at the New York navy yard for a dock trial of the en- gines of the Maine, one of the two battle ships authorized by Congress three years ago. The trial will be a departure in the method of deter- mining the efficiency of the machinery for naval ships and is the first of its kind the government has ever subjected new ships to. The test is made in order to pay the builders of her engines, who have requested the department for their money, but which cannot be paid until the gov- ernment is satisfied that they fulfill require- ments, The object of this trial is to test the machinery as nearly as possible under condi- tions which would obtain if the trial were made in the open sea, subjecting all parts to the same stress as would then be the case. The trial will consist, the option of the contractors, of a continuous run of four honra, with both main engines and all the boilers in operation, or of two runs, each of four hours, with ‘one engine and half the boilers in operation. In the latter case one engine will be tried, first with haif the boilers and afterward the other with the boilers which were not used the first time. Unless the draught of water at the dock is much less than the designed line dranght, the revolutions will be fewer at the dock than they would be at sea, but all otherconditions will be exactly thesame, so that the strength and satisfactory performance can be as thorouchly demonstrated. In case the draught of the vessel is not sufficient to givo the provellers a good immersion, the standard condition will be to maintain an average number of revolutions per minute be- tween 130 and 135, provided this number can be obtained with an equivalent mean pressure of less than thirty pounds per square inch in the low-pressuro cylinders. The Maine will probably be ready for her regular trial at sea early im August, Her sister ship, the Texas, building at Norfolk, is several months behind her in point of construction. ° Naval Orders, Lient.

CHOLERA THREATENS. Government Agents Report It as Raging All Over Europe. ITS PROGRESS WESTWARD. Coming From Bagdad to the Mediterranean and From Mecca to the Red Sea Ports — How a Line of Defense Against the Dis- HAT I8 THE OUT- look for cholera? Latest advices from United States consular and medical officers abroad are gloomy. The dis- ease prevails all over France. It is at Nantes, Quimper, Narbonne, Montpellier, Nimes, Toulouse and Cette. ‘There are several cases at Marseilles, from which great port ves- sels are sailing every day for America. In th districts of Lorient and Vannes the plague is widespread. Meanwhile it is raging in Galicia (Austro-Hungary) and in several provinces of southwest Russia. However, it is well-nigh impossible to get any definite information as to the progress of the complaint in the czar's dominions, owing to a secretive official policy. Complaining of this our minister at St. Peters- burg asks that a physician under the marine hospital service be attached to his legation for the purpose of gathering medical news. The plague has just broken out at Mecea with alarming virnlence. The holy city is only two days’ journey by caravan from the nearest Red sea port, At the same time the United States minister at Constantinople reports that the dis- ease is spreading rapidly westward from dad across Mesopotamia toward the Mediter- ranean, following the lines of travel. When it is considered that there is much commerce di- rectly between this country and the ports of the Mediterranean and the Red sea, it will be seen that euch news is far from reassuring. It is some comfort to know that there is no cholera in Germany. At Hamburg, which no longer ts its water supply from the infected River Elbe, ouly one caso bas appeared since March 1. ‘DR. WYMAN’S OPINION, There is still more encouragement in quoting Dr. Walter Wyman, surgeon general of the marine hospital service, on the situation. Said he yesterday: “We have an even chance of es- caping the cholera altogether this year. Should itarrive it will certainly not become epidemic. Its non-appearance thus far proves that no germs have lived over the winter in this country, as it was feared might happen. The prospect now is much better than Texpected it would: be at this time. However, it should not be forgotten that the disease did not reach the United States last year until August. There is plenty of time for trouble yet."’ For a defense against the plague the marine hospital service ha: drawn all around the United States a line which the cholera will find it hard to pass, One of the most important things newly accomplished is a means for protecting the northern frontier from invasion. The Can- ada authorities have promised to disinfect all baggage that comes through Quebec. Further- more they will not permit any immigrants to be landed except at Quebec. Halifax has been closed against them, because the quarantine plant at that point is defective. At Quebec. on the other hand, there is a first-rate quarantine plant. The Canadian government also permits the United States to place two of its own medi- cal experts at Quebec. They will witness the processes of disinfection and will pass immi- rants by giving @ special card to each one, ibeling their baggage with stickers guarantee- ing it to have been disinfected. hip with immigrants on board Quebec the United States inspectors will give notice by telegraph to Washington, In this matter, through courtesy, Canada goes further than she could reasonably be expected todo. She will disinfect ail immigrants, no ter whether there is cholerain the pert they came from or not, and whether or not the vessel is supposed to be infected. Officers of the marine hospital service will be stationed at every point along the frontier where immi- grants are likely to cross over—Suspension Bridge, Detroit, Fort Huron and Neeche, N. D. Immigrants passing through Canada frequently go to Winnipeg, scatter and come over the border into Dakota. OUARDING THE SOUTHERN FRONTIER. The frontier on the southis guarded with equal vigilance. Though there is no cholera in Mexico, inspectors are regularly stationed at Brownsville, Eagle Pass, El Paso and Nogales to keep out yellow fever and other diseases. These places, except Brownsville, are points where i enter the United States. The officers ery train, and if any contagious coi found on board the passengers a: promptly taken off and turned back. The rail- ways are obliged to take care of them. Any people who might come from cholera-infected districts on the other side of the line would not be permitted to enter this country. On the Pacific const there are three quaran- tine stations—Port Townsend, San Francisco and San Diego. No invasion of cholera is ex- pected from that side at present. The Atlantic shore line is protected by a complete series of establishments for keeping out disease, each of them provided with a smail fleet of tugs and other water craft. Further means of defense is given by the new law, passed February 15, 1893, which enables the President to forbid the entry into the United States of persons or mer- chandise from any port that is supposed to be infected. Thus it will be seen that the country has been surrounded by a cordon through which the piague can hardly make ita way. Congress gave £900,000 this year as an epi- demic fund for the prevention of cholera. Of this sum £34,000 is being spent in setting up a new federal quarantine station on Reedy Island, at the month of the Delaware river, where ships will be disinfected. A similar plant will be established on Hogg Isinnd in Chesapeake bay, which the government bas bought for the pur- pore. The Camp Low station near New York, where cholera-stricken immigrants were de- tained last summer. is being enlarged by the addition of disinfecting apparatus and an elaborate system of bath houses. It will ac- commodate 1,000 persons. If required other stations will be promptly organized. At New York all sick with the plague will be treated on a hospital shipanchored near Swinburne Island. Veseels arriving with cases on board at any port will be detained from five to twenty days, individuals dying of the disease on ships bound for the United States will not be kept for burial. ‘The new regulations require that their bodies shall be saturated with disinfecting solutions and immediately buried at sea. If cholera should get a foothold in this country Dr. Wyman thinks that it would be quickly stamped out. ‘Thirty-seven of the states have boards of health. Allof them are on the alert and would take active measures to prevent the disease from spreading. At the same time the new law will enable the general government to step in and enforce the prover regulations if the states do not. Isolation and disinfection would be the means resorted te for the suppression of the complaint, If it became epidemic trains and steamers would not be al- lowed to leave the infected locality. Suppos- ing that the water supply in any instance were deemed responsible for the trouble it would be promptly cut of and arrangements would be made for getting water from some other source. ONE CODE OF MARITIME QUARANTINE. Never until now has there been one code of maritime quarantine for all United States ports, because the states could not agree. But such arrangement has been reached under pressure of the law passed at the last session of Congress, which authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to make such regulations as might seem good to him and to enforce them if local authorities failed. A code was drawn up by Surgeon Gen- eral Wyman and the quarantine officers from all the Atlantic and guif states met recently in Washington, by the government's invitation, for the purpose of discussing it. The rules which itembodied were read to them, and they voted approval or disapproval on each one. Certain amendments having been adopted the code was promulgated, and it has already been formally accepted ‘by nearly all of the ports as the standard. Should cholera appear in the United States, trial will be made of certain new methods of treatment, the vaine of which bas not yet been positively’ determined. One of these is the process of intestinal irrigation. This is the invention of an American physician who obtained much success with it in Russian hos pitals. As is well known, the disease is pro- duced by certain bacteria which maltiply and feed upon the lining membranes of the intes- tines. To destroy them, a rubber tube is in- serted into the rectum and as far as Possible upward through the lower intestine, the patient lying on a table specially con- structed for the purpose. 1 this tube considerable quantities of a mild disinfecting solution are injected. A number of pationts who had passed the stage when Tecovery is ordinarily considered possible were by this means cured. Good results are said to have been obtained by moculation for the purpose of rendering in- dividuals proof against the complaint. A French physician, Dr. Ferran, has thus treated thousands of people, among them many nurses who served in the hospitals. However, there is much dispute among experts as to the value of this alleged prophylactic. A simple “‘culture” of the cholera bacillus in bof soup is employed by hypodermic injection, producing symptoms resembling those of the disease itself in a mild form. No attempt is made to “attenuate” the virus. It was Prof. Koch who first isolated and identified these microbes as the germs of the plague. Anaseistant in his laboratory once swal- lowed a lot of them by accident and developed what the professor delightedly called a “typi- cal case.” He recovered by a narrow squeak. Cholera bacilli, like other di acing teria, produce @ poison in the process their growth and multiplication. This poison finally kills them, and that is the reason why any bacterial disease, sooner ot later, comes to 4 stop, often before the patient has auecumbed. It is rather startling to learn thet the human Lody itsclf is ull the time manufacturing ong. The tissues of the body are continually dying and being replaced. Such death of the tissue produces poisons, Whena man in think- ing sets his brain cells in motion a certain amount of wear and tear is caused, and poisonous alkaloid called ‘nervine” is formed. Such poisons are climinated from the body in health; but, if they accumulate, they are de- activ BIRTHPLACE OF THE PLAGUE, Cholera has its birthplace in the delta of the Ganges. It is fetched to Mecca by the pious Mohammedan pilgrims from Bombay, andfrom Mecca it has an easy path into. Europe, fol- lowing the lines of travel Conditions in India are admirably adapted for the breeding of plagues, Hindoo superstition regards the bu- man excreta as unboly and unfit to be touched except by a certain caste, the “mehters.” Accordingly they will in'no care remov such waste themselves. The mehters are few in number and set a high price on their ser- vices. The natural consequence followa. The native villages are usually masses of huts built without roads, without drains,and never cleaned. They are commonly abodes of raisery and filth, fit nurseries of sickness. and disease. The sup- 8 plies of water are drawn from green and slimy ponds, whose bubbling surfaces exhale poison- oy — These en the filth of the population, poured in from gutters which ramify through the village. It has been observed in many epidemics that the great majority of ¢ases occur umong the high-caste people, who obstinately cling to the use of river er as @ religious belief. The dirtiest ponds in India are the holiest and most sacred, to which crowds of pilgrims resort on periodical occasions of high feast and festival to bathe and wash away their sina, Such waters are supposed to cure leprosy, to remedy bar- Tennees in Women and to drive out evil spirits, From these spots of pious assembly the carry infection to all parts of the country. If they alone suffered nobody else would object. Japan in modern times has suffered more se- verely from cholera than any other country within the belt of the temperate zone. Hardly had her territory been opened to the western world, in 1860, when the plague invaded it and destroved tens of thousands annually up to 1867, when it died out. Those who at the ports were thrown into the sea. In 1877 another epidemie started, and in 1879 there were 90,000 cases. In 1885 there were 154,000 cases and 101,000 deaths. One feature of sanitary science in Japan, quite eclipsing other nations in that respect, is the rompt cremation of alldead from cholera. ‘tensive crematories for this purpose have been established in different parts of the em- pire. They cre on such a large scale in the city of Kioto that 500 bodies can be burned every twenty-four hours. Cats suffer from cholera as well as human beings. A feline epidemic of the plague not long ago accompanied au epidemic in human the same source ap tly. In 1875 there was an epidemic of « ‘in cats in Delhi. Rexs Bacun ——_— JOHN'S COLLEGE. Brilliant Commencement Exercises Last Evening — Bishop Keane Awards the Prizes. The ball at St. John’s College last night was not large enough to accommodate the many friends who were present to witness the twenty-seventh annual commencement of that institution. Every seat was occupied by an enthusiastic admirer of the college, and even the hallways were utilized to find etanding room, The exercises were simple and thor- oughly enjoyable. None but students took partin them, with the exception of Bishop Keane, who awarded the prizes and medals. Diplomas were awarded to four bright young men for proficiency in phonography snd re- Porting: Jobn T. A. Rover, Harry Keene William Connolly and Dennis V. THE EXERCISES. Mr. David S. Waters opened the entertain- ment—for such it was—with the overture from “Il Trovatore,” and was followed by a violin solo by Joseph Schenuit, Both of the young men showed nota little talent, and when Mr. Schenuit repeated later in the program be was most enthusiastically received. Mr. Joe Cullen played a selection on the banjo, which com- pleted the musical portion of the program. ‘The literary renditions were meritorions and creditable.” J. Edward Bullock and Charles F. Johnton gave readings, and orations were de- livered by Joseph J. Murphy and Louis P. Me- enn: “Religion, the Inspiration of Columbus,” was the theme of the oration delivered by Mr. Mur- phy. The speaker described graphically the trials of Columbus, and said that the scoffs and taunts he met with in his lifetime had since be- come a golden chain that binds him to the memory ot man, amd that every barb that pierced his temple while he lived bad since be- come a shining ray of glory. ‘The speech was throughout a fine rhetorical effort and a bril- inspired liant vindication of the motives that Columbus. “Tho Mecea of Nations” was the title of Mr. McKenna’s oration. In pic’ ing diction he describes of Nations.” “The Mine: Dorn as it were but yesterd: quoen upon the shores of our great tideless, unsalted seat” He described the star of Colum- ba’s fame, now shedding its rays on the queen city of the west, where the young American republic stands ‘a dazzling and disenthralled ueen, extending a welcome to the nations of the world—a welcome, the speaker said, ‘as cordial as was lately extended to the ducal de- scendant of Christopher Columbus,and as royal as lately greeted the advent of the Spanish princess to our shores.” When Bishop Keane of the Catholic Univer- sity was introduced he received a cordial recep- tion. He discussed the recent letter of Po; Leo XIII, its purpose and effects. Of Ws ington’s future as a seat of learning and thought he spoke in the most hopefal manner, and of St. John’s College be said many compl: mentary things.
