The Uober investigation seems to be a

The insurance companies neglected a

Pastor McArthur, of Calvary Baptist
church, New York, preached his Thanks
giving sermon in a church bare of decora-
Moat. And the reason of it is enough to
make good Baptist brethren everywhere
open their eyes in astonishment. The
preaeher had made an election bet and
the decorations were the forfeit. Dr. Mc-
Arthur is a republican, and felt very sure
that Harrison would be elected. A good
democratic member of his congregation did
not tbiuk so, and offered to bet the doctor
the finest Thanksgiving decorati ns that
had ever been put in the church that Cleve
laod would be the next President, the other
condition of the bet being that the doctor
should preach in a bare church if he lost.
Last Sunday Dr. McArthur appealed to
the congregation to come forward aud
decorate the building. But the people had
heard of the bet and only smiled.
The most pathetic Thanksgiving story
that has been published recently is the one
of the day at Homestead as printed in a
dozen papers. In place of turkey aud trim
mings ou the tables of the ex-strikers, it is
said that maoy of them passed iheday with
out a bite to eat except a few potatoes, and
that in a large number of houses there was
not a pound of coal although the day was
bitterly cold. With the collapse of the
(trike the men were thrown upon their own
resources; they will receive no mors assist
ance from the amalgamated association,
whose treasury is depleted and whoso very
existence is threatened. Being unable to
secure work at Homestead and uot daring
to leave to look for work elsewhere because
they are under indictment for murder, riot
aud treason, the condition of some of the
men is critical; starvation, it is said, stares
them in the face. And the fact that winter
has set iu makes the outlook even more
gloomy. An appeal to the public has been
made in behalf of the destitute ex-strikers,
nd a liberal response Is regarded as the
only thing that will avert extraordinary
•uttering among them during the cold period.
A (Good Suggestion.
The suggestion of Gen. Phil Cook, secre
tary of state, that a small pamphlet be com
piled giving information relative to the soil,
climate and resources of the different por
tions of Georgia, together with the average
prices of land, is an excellent one. There
are more inquiries from persons in the north
and west who are thinking of seeking homes
in Georgia, or investing money in her lands,
mines or factories, than at any previous
tme in her history. The state officers are
receiving su-h letters in abundance, and
many are sent to the newspapers and rest
dents of the state. It is impossible to
answer their letter* except In a way that is
far fr >m satisfactory. The writing of let
ters of this kind take- a great deal of time if
the work is conscientiously done.
If a pamphlet containing such mforma
-1 tlon as a home-seeker or an investor desires
were published by authority of the legisla
ture. it would do the state a vast amount of
good. Only recently Gov. X rtiiea was re
prled as saying that he had received infor
mation that parties were preparing to in
vest #8,00P,000 in this state. The invest
ment of such a sum would attract the at
tention of other investors in all parts of
the country.
'I he development of the state's resources
has hardly begun. The opportunities with
in her limits for investing money profitably
are innumerable. And these opportunities
are going to be taken advantage of.
Since the election of Mr. Cleveland
there has become apparent a sentiment that
the south is going to have a period of great
prosperity. Capitalists have withheld their
money from her and immigrants have not
given her much attention during the last
three or four years, became they have felt
that if the force bill became a law there
would be race troublos. There is no aDpre
hension of anything of that kind now. Con
fidence iu the south is greater than ever
before.
The legislature will make a great mis
take if It does not authorize such a pam
phlet as Secretary Cook suggests. It
wouldn’t coat a great deal and would bring
to the state many desirable immigrants and
a great deal of money for investment.
Salaries of School Teachers.
Representative Ham is showing himself to
be a friend of the public school teaohers.
They have been in need of a friend in the
legislature for a long time. Their pay Is
small, and they don't get it when It is due.
Asa rule they have to wait for it until the
end of the year, and, as most of them are
poor, the great majority have to sell their
vouchers in order to get money to most
necessary expense! To withhold their pay
long after it is due is conspicuously unjust.
The reason their salaries are not promptly
paid is that the school fund is used to meet
the expenses of the government. Every
body it seems is paid before tbe school
teachers. It would b 9 much more fair to
make the members of the legislature wait
for their money. The legislators control
the purse strings of the government, how
ever, and they look out for themselves.
Representative Ham has introduced a
bill which has for its object the payment of
the school teachers quarterly. That they
should be paid promptly will hardly be do
nied. They earn the small pittauce they
get, and should not be forced into the
clutches of the money-lenders.
If the teaohers should be dealt with Justly
they would render better service. There is
a complaint that a good many of them are
not as well qualified for their positions aa
they should be. There may be some founda
tion for the complaint, but whatever their
qualifications may be they earn all the
money they get. If their salaries were
higher and more promptly paid, they would,
in all probability, take more interest in
their work.
Whether Representative Ham’s bill, by
which ho proposes to accomplish the object
he has in view, is a go and one or not is a
question for the legislature to determine,
but his object is a worthy one, and he
should not rest until he has accomplished
it. There is no good reason why all the
state officers should get their salaries as fast
as they are due, while the school teachers
have to wait a year for their money or sell
their vouchers at a ruinous discount.
Work for Health Authorise’.
The existence of cholera in Europe and
at the Mew York quarantine station last
summer, has made the public very sensi
tive in respect to matters relating to the
public health. The fear that there may be
an epidemic of cholera in this country next
summer has not entirely abated, and, con
sequently, when an unusual amount of
sickness appears in any locality it excites
more attention tbau it otherwise would.
In our dispatches yesterday it was stated
that St. Louis is in the grip of an epidemic
that may become a pestilence.
There have 1 een between 900
and 1,000 cases of typhoid fever
reported there within the last two months,
and 100 cases have been reported within the
last few days. One of the city’s prominent
physicians gives it as his opinion that the
fever is the forerunner of the cholera. He
is, of course, an alarmist, as there does not
appear to be any connection between the
prevailing fever and cholera. However, if
the city is in a bad sanitary condition it is
not a mistake to arouse the health authorities
to the necessity for cleaning it.
The Baltimore papers are calling for
greater vigilance on the part of the health
authorities of that city. Some cases of
small-pox have appeared there and the
necessity for taking every precaution
against that disease is urged.
Diphtheria isjepidemic in portions of Phila
delphia aud the number of deaths from the
disease ii alarming. For years there has
been complaint of the water supply of that
city, but it is not asserted that the diphtheria
is caused by the water. It is probablo that
the portions of the city in which the disease
prevails are in a bad sanitary condition.
At no time can the autfaoritie< of a city
afford to be careless about matters relating
to the public health, but they ought to be es
pecially vigilant at this time and for mouths
to come. The cholera is still prevailing in
countries with which we have constant com
munication, and it would not ba surprising
if the disease should get into this country.
Preparations for its coming should be made,
and if it does not come the precautions
taken agaiust it will be productive of good
to the public health. While there is no
reason for uneasiness, there is good reason
for putting the cities of the country in good
sanitary condition.
As the time for the reassembling of con
gress draws near the democratic members,
having in mind the possibility of an extra
sesssion, discuss more earnestly tbo organi
zation of the Fifty-third congress. There
seems to be no doubt in the minds of a ma
jority of the members who have returned
to Washiugton that Crisp will be re-elected
speaker, but they are confident be will have
opposition.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1892-TWELVE PAGES.
The State Board of Health Bin.
The municipal authorities of the seaport
cities of this state should give the bill, pro
viding for a state board of health,that is now
pending iu the legislature very serious con
sideration. The bill confers extraordinary
powers upon the board which it is proposed
to create. They are so great that unless
they should be exercised with great care and
excellent judgment the corumeros of the
seaport* might be greatly injured, if not
practically ruined.
For instance, tbs bill makes it the duty of
the health offloer in the employ of the board
to examine any reported case of small-pox,
cholera r yellow fever, and if the report is
well founded it becomes the duty of the
state health officer to declare such infected
point to lie in quarantine, and to place any
and all such restrictions upon ingress and
egr ss thereat, as in his judgment, shall be
necessary to prevent the spread of the
disease in the infected locality. And it is
also made bis duty when be shall have de
clared any city, town or other place In
quarantine to so oontrol the people of
the place in quarantine, and make such dis
position of them as shall in hi* judgment
I e necessary to protect them and prevent
the spread of the disease.
Under this bill a state health officer
would have the power to place a town in
qua-antine if a oase of an infectious or con
tagious disease should make its appearance
within its limits, or should be brought
within its limits, even though there were no
grounds for apprehending an epidemic.
It is apparent that to place this city in
quarantine, for instance, would amouDt
virtually to a -u-pension of her commerce.
The announcement that she was under
quarantine regulations would cause the
most terrlfyiDg rumors to be spread abroad.
Her trade would drop to almost nothing,
because merchants in the interior would
not accept merchandise that had been witbin
her limits, and no one would visit her. And
all this damage might be done although
there might be no danger of an epidemio
and no possibility of barm ooming to any
one if business were done as usual.
It may be said, cf course, that a state
health officer would not take such extreme
measures unless there was an epidemic of
an infeotious or contagious disease or aa im
mediate prospect of one, but who can say
what a state health offloer would do when
clothed with a little brief authority, par
ticularly if he happened not to be a man of
discretion and judgment! Hot knowing
just what he ought to do and being unable
to determine whether or not an epidemio
was probable he might deem it his duty to
those living outside of the place wbere a
oase of cholera, or yellow fever or small
pox originated to take much greater pre
cautions than the sitnation warranted.
The pending bill gives the state board
control of the shipping ooming to Georgia
ports. The state would not bear the expense
of maintaining a quarantine station. The
seaport cities would have to do that, but
they would have no voioe in the manage
ment of the stations. Men unacquainted
with the demands of commerce might be
chosen to make and administer quarantine
regulations for the control of shipping.
A bill creating a state board of health
and defining its powers must be very oare
fully framed. Otherwise, if it shonld be
come a law, it might be produotlve of far
more barm than good.
Put Yourself in Her Place.
Miss Dollie Watson, a young lady of
Denver, Col., occupies a last unenviable
position. According to her own account she
is a perambulating dynamite magazine,
liable at any moment to explode aud work
terrible havoc among those of her friends
and acquaintances who happen to be in the
neighborhood.
A love story goes on ahead of this dyna
mite sequel. Dollie is a pretty girl and bad
lots of beaus, among them a hot-headed,
jealous young fellow named Whittier.
Things went on swimmingly as long as Dol
lie treated Whittier as well as any of the
other boys. But one day she snubbed him.
He was furious, and, vowing that he would
get even, oaught her and forced down her
throat six pellets whtoh he swore contained
dynamite. Dollie’s landlady at once in
sisted upon her leaving the house and gave
her a pair of felt slippers to go downstairs
with to prevent an explosion. And from
that day Dollie has gone about on tiptoe to
save herself from a sudden jar that might
detonate the explosive in her internal
economy.
As soon as she had assured herself that
she could walk with safety, Dollie went to
a police justice to report the oase. Her ap
pearance in court caused a throng of idlers
to gather about. But ass ion as she said
"dynamite,” there was a scattering, one
deputy sher ff jumping through a window
sum in his eagerness to get out. The justice,
however, was brave enough to bear the
story, then he had Whittier arrested to
await the result of his experiment.
Physicians who have been oonsultea in re
gard to the young woman’s queer predica
ment disagree as to what the outcome will
be. Some sty she is bound to explode,
while others say the gastrio juices will
render the dynamite harmless. Meantime
Dollie is worried almost to death. Her
frionds avoid her as if she had a contagious
disease and all her beans have deserted her.
From a belle of her set she has suddenly
| become an object of terror. Even If she
| would allow him, not one of her former
beaus would dare kiss her, for fear ttie con
cussion of lips would cause an explosion that
would blow them both sky high. Dollie is
in a terrible predicament.
Some of the democratic congressmen who
have arrived in Washington and been in
ter viewool by the correspondents seem to
think that there is a likelihood of a sufficient
number of republican senators acquiesciug
in the will of the people as expressed at the
ball’t box to permit of the passage of cer
tain of the tariff reduction bills now in the
Senate. But it is more than likely that
they reckon without their host. There has
been nothing said by any of the republican
leaders of the Senate that would indicate
their willingness to further the work of
tariff reform. It is extremely unlikely that
the present congress will lend any assistanse
to the next.
The Borden murder at Fall River, Mass.,
seems destined to go into criminal history
as one of the most mysterious cases on rec
ord. After an extraordinary investigation
1 it is believed Liszle Borden will be cleared
of all suspicion of having committed the
crime. Inasmuch at the detectives have
spent pretty much all of their time in build
ing up a case against her, they will be left
, without a clew or a theory when she shall
have been exonerated. Public opinion has,
to a considerable extent, been on the side of
the young woman during her ordeal, and
the failure of the grand jury to find a true
: bill against her would meet general ap

is on to him. But I have to k-ep a sharp look
out, for the reason that I frequently carry
money and other valuables."
“Why don’t you put him off ?”
"Because we don’t stop until we get to Phila
delphia. but he will have a nice bath before he
gets there. ’’
“How do you mean ?**
"I’ll snow you presently. You see. we are
just behind the tender of tbe locomotive. I
have given a private signal to the engine.-r and
he knows what is expected of him Only about
a mile ahead now there is a water trough.where
tbs locomotive takvg up water while going at
full speed. It Is a sort of ditch that runs for a
considerable distance between the rails filled
with water The locomotive takes up the water
with a kind of scoop. Just watch 1"
A moment later the water trough was struck
and the snrav began flying out of the top of
the great iron tank on the tender, the lid of it
Happing up and down while the r servoir filled
itself from below. This did not occupy more
than half a minute, at the end of whioh the en
gineer should have pulled up the s oop
Instead of that, however, he permitted the
tank to overflow in a cataract, whioh was flung
backward like a miniature Niagara against
the forward end of the baggage car.
“Just look at that," cried the baggagemaster,
delightedly "Ain’t he getting it, though?"
In truth the unfortunate tramp must have
been getting it with a vengeance, for the tre
mendous flood of water spouting from the top
of tbe tank continued to fling itself against the
face of the baggage car for fully tbre -quarters
of a minute, which must have been sufficient to
drown any human being on the front platform.
So copious was it that the water flowed in be
neath the door and threatened to inundate the
freight.
"If the fellow is still alive.” said the baggage
master when the cataract had finally suspended
its activity, "he has had enough to give him a
distaste for water for the rest of his life. There
isn't anything that will frighten them like a
dose of ihat sort, according to our experience.
"Coming on him unawares it scares him
'most to death, besides half drowning him. He
don t know when it is going to stop, and he has
to choose between standing it and jumping off
the train."
"But suppose he should jump off and be
killed?"
"Wr.at would It ’ratter?’’ replied the baggage
master, philosophically.
When the tra n slowed up an hour later near
Philadelphia the newspaper man saw a figure
that looked more like a drowned rat than
like a human being crawl off the front platform
of the baggage car and steal sorrowfully away
It was the tramp, who bad had a bath as well
as a ride at the expense of the railway.
A Dog 1 That Adopted a King.
The King of Greece has just lost a little dog,
which he came by In a rather curious way, says
the Levaut Herald. He was at some maneu
vers a few years ago, standing amid his staff,
when it suddenly made its appearance, no one.
knew whenoe, and stationed ltselr at the king's
Test. All attempts to dislodge it were fruitless,
and it remained there until the end of the re
view.
When the king went to his carriage the little
dog walked in front of him, "as proud as
l’unoh,” with his tall erect, and scrambled first
into the carriage before ary one eould say him
nay. Arriving at the palace, he darted in first
and Insisted on remaining with the king. His
majesty, who Is slightly superstitious, said the
dog’s persistency was a good omen; that at any
rate he had one faithful friend, and from that
time forward it slept in his bedroom and
scarcely ever left him.
It was a most superollious little dog. and
would never tas notice of any one except the
klug, whom it seined to idolize. The dog died
the other day, much to the sorrow of its mas
ter. Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria also has a
pet dog, which is disliked and droaded by his
courtiers. It is a pug of v ry aristocratic line
age, given him by Queen Victoria, which he al
ways himself feeds at luncheon, after making it
go through a variety of tricks.
At a signal from the prince it stands In the
corner of the room on its hind legs, and prances
across to the opposite corner, keeping in time
to the beat of the prince s finger. It "cheers”
for the Queen of England, and when told to "die
for Bulgaria” it roils down insensible in the
drollest manner, l'ne prince always speaks to
it in English, and it will not take the slightest
notice if addressed in any other language.
The Only Second-Class Hotelkeeper.
“I have lived fifty-six years; I have been
twice around the globe and broken bread in
every city and town from Tadmor In the wil
derness to Salt Lake City, and I have yet to see
a man who did not believe that as a hotelkeeper
he towered, like Saul, above his brethren," said
F. J. Banders to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat
writer.
"It is an hallucination that I cannot under
stand. Every hotelkeeper is as proud of his
hostelry as though the palace of Maecenas
were a smokehouse by comparison, the Olym
pian banquets but beggars'farecompared to hts
princely board l have sat flown to coffee be
side which Slade's slumgullion were angelio
nectar, water logged potatoes, butter that would
knock a Digger Indian out with one stomach
blow, and biscuits that might be used to crack
walnuts with, then had the landlord slap me on
the shoulder and tell me about celebrities com
ing 100 miles to Sunday with him. Twain made
an trreparable, an Inexcusable mistake in not
picturing Col. Mulberry Sellers as a hotelkeeper.
I once stopped at a hotel at Homer, ill., where
the bill ot fare consisted of greens,’ fat bacon
and tough radishes. After dinner the landlord
told me that he ’fancied that Delmomker feller’
was not so far ahead o’ his hash foundry.”
The Incurable Hurt.

•Taint likely ez a awkward chap

’Ud ever go a monkeyin’ round
A dandy kid like Cupid;
But. major, dern my ugly mug,
1 done it once, for certain,
An’ if I live a hundred years
The tbmg 'll keep on hurtin’.
I never know'd a woman's ways
Till one day little Kitty,
H r that's tne banker's only gal.
Come down from Timber City,
An' stoppin’ at our boardin' house,
Begun her purty flirtin’,

An’ me, that's dogoned certain.

That speckles night all over.
An' both her cheeks wuz purtier than
Two medders red with clover.
Ad’ when she talked-good lordy me!
Why can’t a man take warnin’*—
It seemed to me like all the songs
The bird sings In the mornin'.

When the railroad first made its advent into
Mexico it at once attracted the attention of the
bandits of that fair land and train robbers be
came very fashionable among them. At last
the line from Vera Crux to Mexico was forced to
emp oy an armed escort of from ten to twenty
five sharpshooters. The first encounter of the
bandits with a guarded train had the effect of
mating train robbing very unpopular.
In these days, says Chambera' Journal ,
royalty does not seem to ooncern itself so
much about such magnifioent sleeping oouohes.
It is well known that our gracious sovereign
always includes a bed among tbe traveling be
longings. which is sent from Windsor castle
whenever her majesty goes anywhere. It is
said to be a perfectly simple bedstead of maple
wood, with plain hangings arranged as a tent,
muslin curtains and a hair mattress Two beds
were manufactured at the castle works, one of
which was placed in the queen's cabin on board
the Osborne, and the other sent in advance to
the Schloss occupied by her majesty in Darm
stadt. The royal visitor is said sometimes to
leave her bed as a sort of souvenir. One, we
are told, is at Dunkeld and others at Baden and
Coburg.
Asa fathbr, John Chinaman idolizes his
boys, but feels keenly the disgrace brought by
the advent of a daughter. He does not consider
her worthy of a name, but calls her No. 1,2, or
3, as the case may be. He ignores her entirely
In telling the number of his children, counting
only the boys. He considers her as without
mind or soul, and denies her the advantages of
education which her brother receives. As she
grows up she is a slave in her own and her hus
band's house; and not till she is old does she re
ceive love and reverence. If a child is taken
sick, both John and his wife think the soul has
waadered away, and sups are taken to recall it.
The mother calls at the upon door, “Soul, come
home!" The father goes out to s*ek it, usually
searching about the nearest bridge. At his cry
of “Coming, coming .” the mother looks care
fully about her floor and secures the first thing
of life she sees. This may be flea, or beetle, or
other insect, but is supposed to have within it
the missing spirit. It is wrapped up and joy
fully placed under the pillow of the sick one,
who is now expectad to recover forthwith. If
death comes instead, the child is buried sum
marily and with scant ceremony. John consid
ers his own ooflin one of the most valued and
most necessary pieces of furniture for his best
room, and his highest ambition is to have an
elaborate funeral. He and the older members
of his household have this ambition gratified in
proportion to their wealth and the number of
their descendants.
Capt. Leo Vug el, now In the service of the
Clyde Steamship Company, thus described to a
New York Sun writer his experience at sea
during the Charleston earthquake: "I was
going southward In charge of a double-screw
steamer. 300 feer. long, and vim twenty-two
miles south and fifty east of Charleston. It was
the ugliest sky that, I think, 1 bad ever seen
during tbe afternoon, and I was really expect
ing a cyclone. The sky was of a salmon color,
with clouds of sulphurous green. It was close
and hot, and there was a sense of something
being wrong. We were on tbe 8 fathom line
that night, when suddenly the engines stopped.
We were shaken from side to side, then the
ship seemed to settle, and it was as though the
bottom were rubbing against something. The
first officer rushed on deck, sh luting, ’We’re
aground!’ I ran for the chronometer to record,
as nearly as possible, the time of the occur
rence, and from that 1 estimate that it took only
about five seconds for the shock to reach
Charleston. My people were in Charleston
then, and my first impulse was to go Lack, but
1 remembered that 1 was responsible for a ship’s
cargo and people On arriving in port I found
that the earthquake had really occurred, and it
lifted a great load from my mind ou the return
trip when I saw o*e of my children on the dock
and beard him shout, ‘We re all right.’ The
shook came distinctly from tbe southeast, and
I believe when the ship seemed to settle that
either the sea was hollowed for a great area, al
lowing us to reach the bottom . or else that the
bottom was heaved up to within a oouple of
fathoms of the surface."
"Suicide is a disease,” said John E. Dunn
of Albanv, N. Y., to a St. Louis Republic
writer, "and I believe that it is an infectious
disease, convoyed from person to person by
germs, just as typhoid fever, cholera and small
pox are. Three times In my life have I been
tempted to make away with myself, and even
by the exercise of the greatest will power I have
not been enabled to reclst the Influences that
have for a time controlled me. This great beard
of mine Is a living remembrance of my first
temptation, wnich came to me over twenty
years ago," and here Mr. Dunn stroked fondly
the great mass of hair which enveloped his
face. “A hen I was a young man I shaved my
self. One day the impulse to cut my throat came
over me while 1 was placing the lather on
my face. I wanted to use the razor, which was
lying on the bureau, and It was only after a
hard struggle with myself that I did not do so
Tired and exhausted with the me; tal strain, I
put away the sharp edged weapon and fled from
the room. The next day. believing I had over
come my temptation, I again tried to complete
the work I had attempted the day before
Hardly had I gotten ray razor out of its case
before the idea came into my head stron.er
than ever. Instinctively I reached out and
picked the weapon up, and despite my efforts
to resist, I opened it anil lifted its keen edge to
ward my throat. I would pr bably not be
here now to tell this story hut for a fortunate
interruption at that minute. My mother
opened the door, Impelled, as she afterward
sail, by an impulse, and seeing the fearful
look upon iny face uttered a shriek. That
broke the spell and the weapon fell from my
hands upon the floor. My mother then threw
It into the Are. The next day I went to a bar
ber to be shaved, and no sooner had he com
n eneed work around my throat tnan the im
pulse to force the man to cut me seized me.
Tue barber noticed that something was wring
aud stooped. I told him what was the matter
and he refused to complete the work Since that
day I have never been shaved. Another time I
was in a high building and looked out of the
window. Had I not been seized 1 certainly
would have jumped, the old feeling was so
strong. I don't look out of the windows of
high buildings any more. Once 1 saw a bottle
of medielDe marked poison.’ So strong was
the impulse that 1 picked It up and drained it to
the dregs. Fortunately my act was witnessed
end I was pumped out and my life was saved
Now, there is absolutely no reason why I should
want to kill myself—my business affairs have
always been in excellent shape; I have a de
voted wife and family; in fact, everything to
make a man happy. I can only attribute my
deeire to a disease w hich I have acquired hy
contact. By the jway, If you ever hear of my
suicide you will know that I did not commit the
deed intentionally."
