How to Preserve the Lives of the) Babies. ' Boon Within the Reach of Every Family. The Good That Follows the Use| of Lactated Food. “Infants are suffering frightfully in these 4ays,” ‘Said a physician to a Star man yesterday. “July and August are fatal months for children and the death rave from cholera infantum will keep up during Septemver. “Cholera infantum, under which title many cases ‘f indigestion are reported, is @ preventable dis- | eae,” an¢ he showed the reporter a recent group- tng of statistics, from which it appeared that this disease was preventable by the use of lactated food. Hundreds of physicians prescribe this lactated food for their littie patients at the beginning of summer, with the assurance that the dread disease ‘Will not appear im that family. ‘Thousands of mothers have testified to the fact that lactated food has done what nothing else ‘could do—saved the lives of thelr little ones. No better evidence can be offered of its superior- tty than the many instances in which fretfal, peev- teh and sleepless babies, as soon as put upon lac tated food, sleep all night and wake up laughing. ‘The happy change, physicians say, ts solely due to the superior nourishing and satistying qualities of this food. Tt must be borne in mind that lactated food {a 80 {mexpenstve that it is within the reach of every family. For 2 cents a mother cam buy a package ‘that contains enougn to make ten pints of cooked food, ‘The most skillful specialists in children’s dis- eases have publicly advised mothers that to be on the safe side they should use lactated food until thetr childrer are old enough to come to the tabie. It strengthens the weak ones and keeps the well babies strong. | turned to him by the minister o! CHOLERA’S HOLD ON NAPLES. Effort of the Authorities to the News. A special cable dispatch to the Philadel- Phia Press from Naples, Italy, says regard- ing the spread of ‘cholera there: Deaths from cholera here have averaged thirty dany for more than a week past. It is impossible to learn the number of sick be- cause they hide themselves. The number of patients in the hospital is not published either. This is unfortunate, as those who Tecover in their houses spread the disease more effectively than those who dle. The authorities don’t admit the existence of cholera. The United Kingdom of Italy, from the government at Rome to the small ofMcials at Naples, is engaged in a conspira- ¢Y tw conceal the truth. It has only become known through an Italian physician who associates with Americans. The dispatch handed in at the telegraph office by the Pr last Friday” was re- Press correspondent eae ior at Rome. No news concerning cholera is transmit- ted. Even a telegram mentioning it, sent by the agent of a steamship company, was stopped, although he has every interest in minimizing the fact. The great epidemic of 18% broke out In April and was con- cealed until August. The government had the present epidemic en- irely. This, like all other outbursts, had @ small beginning, but the ominous fact 1s that it increases steadily. If it maintains its present rate of progress it will be very serious by September. Here is its history: The Epidemic'’s History. A big feast occurred in the Carmin dis- trict on July 15. ‘The guests had drawn a lucky number in the lottery and gorged themselves with bad fish and bad fruit. One man died Sunday night. Two days later the United States medical inspector |of emigration, Dr. Young, heard of the result of a” bacteriological examination | which showed plainly that this man died of cholera. At this season Naples is de- serted by English and Ame! swarms with Italian visitors, who come to bathe The rumor of the truth got out umong them, and, to allay any fears, the authorities stated’ publicly that there was no cholera. On that very day, July 2 | Prince de Torino died of the disease. Within twenty-four hours visitors had vanished almost entirely from Naples. It is now deserted by all who can live else- where. In the meantime several more | deaths had occurred in the poor quarters. The great warship Re Umberto Dame came in on the 1sth with twenty-three cases and five deaths. She was sent away to the quarantine station in Sardinia, ostensibly to carry the chief sanitary inspector of the kingdom, although the dispatch boat could have performed that service equally well. During the first week of the epidemic here there were sixteen cases and ten deaths. July 24 and 26 there were fourteen cases and five deaths. July 27 there were fifteen cases and five deaths. July 28 there were eleven cases and seven deaths. Then came two days of rain and the rate fell. July 31 there were eighteen cases and ten eaths. August 1 there were ten cases and six deaths. August 3 there were twenty- three cases and ten deaths. August 4 there were twenty-five cases and fifteen deaths. August 5 there were fourteen deaths. It is Actual Cholera. ‘These are deaths registered by the author- ities as gastroenteritis. The Press corre- spondent knows absolutely that they are cholera cases. The comma bacilli taken from them are preserved in the hospital. Add to these figures the number concealed entirely occurring in houses and recorded as cans, but YOUR WORD IS YOUR BOND AT GROGAN'S.

Capri, Posticl and Torreannunciata are all infected. Eight deaths have occurred in the usually very healthy island of Capri. By some it is attributed to a German woman Who left Hamburg when the plague was raging there last year and died of cholera at Capri. Twenty-three deaths in three days have occurred at Posticl, which adjoins Na- ples. ‘The cases occurring on the Karamania were, no doubt, of rural origin, as ee sengers had not in the city. Ital- jans attribute them to Greek Immigrants. Naples papers publish the news of cholera on the ship without admitting ite existence here. But one of them. El Mattine, asks: “Even if there is cholera, which there is not, why talk about it and injure Naples?” ‘The Karamantia sailed two days before the sanitary authorities here knew of the ex. istence of cholera, and consequently before the United States medical officer knew it. Credit is due Dr. Young for discoverin; existence as soon as he did, in spite of the determination to conceal it.’ The population of Italy this year has shown a greater ten- dency than ever before to move to Amer- ica by way of Naples. Forty thousand had e by June.’ A thousand have left since e out! of cholera in July. They were isolated for five days, bathed, vaccinated and disinfected. The Massilia, Cashmere and Weser are now carrying these carefully prepared emi- grants to New York. The Hesperia of the Anchor ne, with 400 on board, has vow commenced her isolation tn the harbor and her passengers will be bathed and vucctaat- ed on Monday. The emigrants have been fn a mutinous condition at what they a outrageous conduct of the Ame! ve ernment In quarantining them in their own country. The Crown Prince of the North German Lloyd line will sail next with about 500 emigrants. Cholera Breeding Places. France has just announced that she will not give a clean bill of health to ships from Naples. Greece has established quar- ntine. The breeding places of cholera in Naples are wells in the Bosso portion and elsewhere, in which refuse food and sewage is thrown. Sereno water, supplied to Naples, is excellent, but people have to pay for using more than a certain quantity, and have no hesitation in using filthy’ well water. Bosso Porto is an ancient street filled with itinerant venders of fruit, meat and sewage-fed fish. “People live in cel- lars, called bassi, of great old houses. These have no outlet but the front door. Another feature of Neapolitan architecture is a set of buildings having windows only on the court-yard, which receives most of the sewage. Three persons died in a house facing the post office. One was a woman called La Bella Tutarcla, or the beautiful fruit seller, one of the popular beauties of Na- ples. ‘The lower classes hide their sick under beds, believing that cholera is the result of the upper classes trying to poison the lower, in order to reduce the popula- tion. They even say that King Humbert 1s in the conspiracy, although he worked with his own hands among them when they were dying at the rate of 1,500 a day. » ‘To Suppress the Disense . ‘The direction of affairs in Naples 1s for-, tunately in the hands of a royal commis- sioner. AS a consequence the efforts to sup- press thé disease are as vigorous as those to suppress the truth. The sale of plums and snails has been forbidden and all feasts. Bad food {s thrown away as soon as discov- ered. Infected bedding is destroyed, not disinfected. The police watch the houses ail night, but the idle, dirty Neapolitans are doing their best to defeat the efforts to save them. Cholera patients ‘are in Co- bugno Hospital, a set o} lated wooden buildings on a ‘hill outside the city. They were erected In 1884. ‘The troops in the barracks outside of Naples have been forbidden to enter the city, and cholera hospitals have been erected for them. 8 of fear are mani- feated everywhere. The last of those who can get away are goin: FREDERICK DOUGLASS INDIGNANT. He Replies to the Charge That Negro Suffrage is « Failure. Frederick Douglass, the colored orator, was greatly wrought up yesterday in the suffrage congress at Chicago by Stephen B. Weeks, professor of Trinity College, North Carolina, who read @ paper on negro sut- frage in the south. The professor said: “Negro suffrage is a failure. It must re- main a failure so long as it is not an ally of the white vote. A large percentage of the southern people are of English descent. ‘They will not submit to domination. The white man must rule, and he will rule. He seeks to secure this ‘result by fair means. He has respect for law, and for that reason feeks to rule under the law. “When he cannot do that he bull-dozes and counts out. No man who has not lived in a negro land knows what negro domina- tion is. It means the destruction of prop- erty, ruin and bankruptcy.” When Professor Weeks had finished, Mr. Douglass, who was on the platform, arose and_made an impassioned reply. are not afraid of negro domination,” he sald, shaking his cane at the professor. “The negro never can rule this country. He would be out-voted by the 60,000,000 of whites and overwhelmed by your superior Intelligence. There is no opposition to the negro in the south until he aspires to rise. So long as he is tgnorant and lazy no one disturbs him, If he aspires to become @ lawyer or a doctor he at once becomes an upstart.” = ee To What the Poor are Driven. The discovery has been made that two of the several hundred ‘slate pick- ers at the rolling company's Locust Gap, Pa., colliery are girls who for some time have been masquerading as boys. Both girls are less than fourteen years old ant are members of a poor Polish family residing at Mt. Carmel. The reason given by the par- ents fs that their children were all girls and failing to find employment for them suit- able to their sex they pledged them to se- erecy and sent them to the breakers.

Correspondence of The Evening’ Star. ROCKVILLE, August 9, 1893. Considerable excitement was created here today about 2 p.m. by the sudden death cf Hon. George Peter, which event occurred in the commissioner's room at the court house. Mr. Peter was in the sixty-fourth year of his age and had for-some months been in feeble health, although able to attend to ordinary business. At the time of the rad event the deceased was sitting in a chair and suddenly fell back. Medical ald was summoned, but death ensued immediately. AS @ prominent lawyer, a leading demo- cratic politician, Mr. Peter was well known throughout 'the state. He was for a number of years state's attorney for this county; was the nominee for Congress on the demo- cratic ticket, but was defeated for the posi- tion by Milton G. Urner of Frederick. He was also # candidate for associate justice in this circuit against the present encum- bent, John T. Vinson, but was defeated by a defection in the ranks of his party in this place. He served two terms as state sen: tor, during one of which he was president of that body. He was also a prominent mem- Ler of two of the constitutional conventions of this state. He leaves a widow, three sons and three married daughters. During his whole life he was noted for many acts of charity. Mrs. Ella Cox, wife of Geo, W. Cox of ington, died today about 2 p.m, at the Corcoran Hotel of consumption, aged sixty- five years. Mr. and Mrs. Cox are. well known in this community, having spent sev- eral summers here. Frank Higgins, real estate broker at this Place, hag sold for Stephen Robertson to ichard S. Lawrenson of Washington a dwelling house and lot 22, in block 7, W End Park, for $2,200. He has also sold to Daniel W.’ Beach ‘of Washington a portion of the Adams property, ‘southwest portion of this town, containing 1 1-2 acres, with brick residence and other bulldings, for the Quite ah excitement was created here on Sunday evening by the attempted eacape of Wm. Douglass from Officer W. 8. Rice, who had brought the latter to jail, charged with carrying concealed weapons and committed by Justice Thomas of Boyd's station. While passing from the railroad station to the jail the prisoner made a violent assault cn the officer, striking him several times, and had it not been for the assistance of several ad sons the prisoner would have succeed getting away. He was safely lodged in pri on, and today had a hearing before Justi Morgan, who imposed a fine of $ for carry~ ing @ pistol and imprisonment for twelve months in the house of correction for as- saulting the officer. Mr. Joseph A. Donohoe and Miss Grace R. Cheshire, both of Washington, were married at the Baptist parsonage here on the d tee, Be Ber. Milbourne. vid H. Warfield and wife and Mr. John J. Higgins and sisters left here today for a visit to the world’s fair at Chicago. 5. AL Mm JOURNEY. BISHOP NEWMAN le Sums up His Impressions of South America His Recent Trip. Bishop John P. Newman has just return- ed from an official visit to South America, where he made, the annual examination into the condition of the missions carried on there by the Methodist Episcopal Church. He devoted about five months to the trip, and during that time went entirely around the continent, going first to the isthmus, crossing and then passing down the west coast, through the straits and up the east- ern coast. “The work done by the missionaries in South America,” he sald the other day, “seems to me one of the most wonderful of any in which this.work has been at- tempted. “The Methodist Episcopal is the only one of the Protestant denominations which has missions in the Souta American countrie: The Roman Catholic Church ts the dom nating one. The Church of England Is e: tablished in the cities, but it is for the English who are there, not for the Span- fards. So it is with some of the Protestant denominations of this country. “I found that our church has property worth about $10,000. From fifty to sevehty- five men and women are engaged in teach- ing or preaching. ‘There are 4,000 communi: cants and about 15,00 adherents of the Methodist Church. In Buenos Ayres one Sunday I saw 2,000 Spanish children at a Methodist Sunday school taking part in the exercises of children’s day. “The constitutions of the republics, or most of them at least, favor the Roman Catholic Church. But the liberal party in most of them is opposed to the union of church and state, and because of the growth of this liberal sentiment there are evasions of the constitutional requirements that the Catholic Church shall be the re- cognized chureh, “Two or three illustrations of this oc- curred during my visit. At Lima I wanted to preach, and on consulting the authori- ties found that I would not be allowed to reach in Spanish, but might preach in English. in Uruguay 1 was again confront- ed by the constitution, but it was inter- preted according to the old maxim that ‘what is not forbldden !s permitted.’ As the constitution did not specify against the Methodist forms of worship I was allowed to preach.”” “What generally “Good. ‘There are many fine cities, and the agricultural and mineral resources of the greater portion of the continent are al- most boundless and not yet developed to a fraction of their possibilities. The chief thing which interferes with the more rapid progress of the country is the frequency of political disturbances, mainly factional in thelr origin. “The great thing the South American re- ublics need is trade with the United Brates. - We are almost without representa tion in some of the cities. I do not know that the reciprocity treaties recently put into effect between the United States and many of the South American nations will resuit in developing this trade. It will be found on experiment that they have com- paratively few things that we want, while we could send them articles almost without number. Z “I studied particularly the condition of the emancipated slaves in Brazil and other countries where slavery once existed. They are In a most pitiable condition. They are Mlustrations of what I believe is true in all history that a people emancipated from slavery will never rise to any high rank as people. It 1s only those who make the ‘uggle and free themselves that may of themselves attain a position. “The condition of the blacks in South America 1s probably no better than that of the natives in Africa. Little or nothing {s done toward educating them or in any way benefiting them.

One of the worst traction car accidents of the year happened last night on Pitts- burg’s Second avenue, near Hazlewood. Two children met their death under the wheels of car 33, and three ladies fainting caused a panic in the car. About 7 o'clock Mrs. Bergman of Gien Colahd street sent her two children, Kate and Harold, to a corner ery to buy milk for supper. The girl was aged six and the boy four years. The children were compelled to cross the tracks to get to the store. They got out on the east-bound track, but, see- ing danger from an approaching car, cross- ed over to the west-bound rails. They did not see car 33 bearing down upon them at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, and before they could get out of its way the car struck the children and knocked them down, The wheels of the heavily loaded car horribly mutilated the little bodies and crushed the life out of them. The screams of the Ittle tots were heartrending. The women passengers fainted. This caused a panic and a rush to get off the car. Sev- eral persons were hurt in the crush, but none seriously. John Myers, the motorman of the car, was arrested and held to await the coro- ner’s investigation. HYATTSVILLE. Postmaster Alfred H.

Fast as Twelve Miles an Hi A steam bicycle constructed on novel principles is the invention of Konrad von Meyenburg, a student of the Royal Poly- technic School of Dresden, Saxony, arrived in New York recently on a vaca- tion trip. He has applied for patents on his bicycle in Germany, England and the United States. In his opinion it will come into general use for long distance ridin as it can be run, he says, an average speed of from, twelve to fourteen miles an hour, and thé cost of fuel is a trifle. A bicycle fitted with the steam. apparatus will weigh about eighty pounds and will cost about $100 more than the ordinary safety machine. ‘The steam is generated in a boiler of gal- vanized iron, having an asbestos jacket uspended between the wheels. The wet steam is superheated through & long cir- cular tube within the boiler. The steam then passes to the propelling machinery, which is covered by an air and water-tight rubber pouch on each side of the rear wheel. Circular crank shafts, directed by side bars on an original principle, give the peed, which can be checked or increased at will. The machinery 1s controlled as imply and by the same motion of the and as the ordinary brake. The fuel used which is contained in a tank above the forward wheel. Enough can be carried to heat the botler for three hours. From the ank the ofl passes through a tube to a lamp beneath the boiler. ‘The steam supply is practically inexhaustible, as it is re- turned to the boiler through condensers arranged in rows on each side of the back eel.
