advantages by the evidence of their
own senses. There is no other meau9
by which those having no personal
acquaintance with the region west of
the Missouri can so satisfactorily de
termine whether it suits their purposes
and needs as by paying it a visit. The
season chosen for the excursions is
favorable for comfort in traveling and
pleasure in sight-seeing, and although
the cornfields have not yet taken on
the hues of the harvest the imagina
tion of the visitor will readily supply
the golden ears.
DEATH OF OEO. WM. CURTIS.

George William Curtis was born in
Providence, K. I., Feb. 34. 1834. The
early years of his
life were spent in

remained mere four okoiior w. curtis.
years studying' and traveling. Return
ing to America he became one of the
editorial Btuff of the New York Tri
bune and a regular contributor to Put
nam's Monthly. Mr. Curtis was a
special partner in the firm publishing
the magazine and when it became in
volved in financial difficulties he sunk
his private fortune in an attempt to
save the creditors from loss, in which
he fully succeeded.
In 1853 he begun in Harper’s Month

Editor's Easy Chair.” When Harper’s
Weekly was established he became its
lending editorial writer, a position ho |
held until recently, when illness com

in theso labors he also attained dis

He took a keen interest in politics and
was one of the most ardent advocates
of civil-service reform, being chairman ■
of the commission appointed by Oen. I
Grant to draw up rules for the ]
regulation of the civil service. Mr. j
Curtis was several times offered for- I
eign missions but declined them. He
was a Republican, but in 1884 sup
ported Mr. Cleveland in preference to
Mr. Blaine.
OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
A Funny Mistake—An Express Office
Taken for a Waiting Room—A Bi
cycle Crase—Tlieuters Opening.
St. Louis, Aug. 31.—If you want ro
mance and funny incident, don’t go to
books for it, but walk around the
streets of St. Louis some of these nights
while the crowd is surging through
them, and watch the people. On the
first night of the illumination the
streets were so jammed that the cars
couldn’t move, and at points where the
crowd was thickest many tried in every
way to find relief from the crush in
the houses near which they were. A
Chicago merchant was down on Broad
way with his wife, and pressed and
jostled by the throng she felt that she
was going to faint. They were in front
of a building with a great glass I
front, and he saw the watch- !
man inside. By signs he asked
the man to open the door
and let them in. The watchman shook
his head. He became vehement in his
gestures, and at last held up a five dol
lar bill. Still the watchman refused.
The angry merchant got his wife to
their hotel, and came back the next
morning early to complain to the man’s
employers about his barbarity. He
8talked into the office, and stated his
case to the first man he saw in author
ity.
“We are sorry,” said the gentleman,
“but the watchman did his duty. We
had money in here that night to send
out the next day, and that man had in
structions to keep the doors locked.
Besides, too, he is under a bond of 810,
000 to obey orders.”
The merchant looked around, and
discovered that he was in an express
office. He will look at the illumina
tions the next time from a window.
#’he city authorities have for the first
time volunteered to add a little to the
fall attractions. Coming into St. Louis
from the West, every train passes un
der seven big iron bridges across the
Mill Creek Valley. Hereafter all these
bridges will be illuminate# with col
ored lights at night, and visitors will
thus receive a brilliant welcome be
fore they get off the cars. Then, from
the depot all the way up to their ho
tels, they will pass between the lines
of the street illuminations, which flash
out before the first evening train gets
to the city.
The bicycle dealers of the city say
that over five thousand people here
ride wheels. Two thousand of these
are active wheelmen, that is, they ride
every day, and are constantly doing
something to increase the number of
cyclists. They are arranging now for
a street parade during September. The
wheels will be hung with lanterns and
many of them will carry floats with
various devices. There has been only ■
dhe other illuminated street parade of |
wheelmen in the country. That was "
here, several years ago, and it ex
cited the widest interest because of its
novelty and picturesqueness. The
route of the parade is to be over the
smooth streets in the residence part
of the city, and the wheelmen will all
dismount opposite the Exposition
building.
The theatrical season in the city
opened last week, and each of the
seven houses, to say nothing of the
dime museums, is drawing well. The
new German theater has begun its
first season. This theater was com
pleted during the summer, and is op
posite the Exposition building. It is
endowed by the wealthy German res
idents of the city and has a stock com
pany playing. During the season, the
best German actors, as they finish
their engagements in New York, will
be brought here to play. Except New
York, there is no such provision for
the encouragement of the German
drama elsewhere in the United States.

Measure* r>u be Taken to Avoid the
Cliulera.
Washimgton, Sept 1.—Ample
power exlsta in the federal govern
ment to keep out persons who are
likely to bring in the dreaded cholera.
Its policy is to co-operate with the
state governments, but where a state
is negligent or inefficient the federal
government may step in. This is the
view taken by the attorney general
and other members of the administra
tion. It has been made known since
the discovery of cholera on the Ham
burg vessel Moravia.
The president cannot stop or turn
back immigrants merely because they
are immigrants. As has been truly
said, he has no power to suspend the
immigration laws as such, but he has
the power to keep out all persons who
may be suspected as infected. The
federal authorities who think this
power may have to be exercised scout
the notion that it would be effective
by simply applying to steerage nassen
gers. They point out that wherever
an epidemic may start, its ravages are
never limited to any particular class
and the contagion may be soread by
first-class passengers from Europe just
as well as by a steerage passenger. In
ail the measures that have been takeD
this has been kept in mind.
Clilra$<> M ill tliiarantinp.
Chicago. 111.. Sept. 2—Chicago
will establish quarantine regulations
against immigrants having this city as
their objective point and immigrants
in transit for the west will not be Der
mitted to leave their cars in passing
through the city. lhi» extreme mens*
ure has the authoritative sanction of
the city council and the department of
health and the earnest commendation
of representative physicians.
ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.'
GILMORE, WITH ONE HUNDRED
MUSICIANS, COMINa
Ormid Opening or tlie 8h Lonli Expo
sition—success or tlie lllumlnntions
nnd Klectrlcnl Cnuornum—Other At
tractions
St. Loris, Sept. 1.—This is the sec
ond night of the street illuminations,
which will be repeated on Saturday
and Slonday, and also on Sept. 15, 22,
and 2D, as well as on Oet. 1, 4, 0, 13,
and 20. The display to-day was far
grander even than that of last week,
every set piece, panorama and arch
having been carefully overhauled, and
improvements made in the arrange
ment, and apparatus wherever thought
advisable. The city is full of visitors,
and tourists are arriving every day
from all parts of the continent and
also from Europe. The special rail
road rates are greatly increasing the
attendance and the carnival of 1892
has already made itself a marked suc
cess us well ns a distinct feature in
national as well as local history. The
SI* Louis electric car system is admit
tedly the finest in the world, but it
has been taxed to the utmost this
afternoon and evening. A large num
ber of new cars are being constructed
and deliveries are expected immedi
ately.
BANDMASTER GILMORE.
A telegram from Col. P. S. Gilmore
announces that he will arrive here
next Wednesday afternoon with his
band of 100 pieces in time to open the
Exposition that evening. This is the
ninth annual exposition, and its eight
successful seasons easily break all rec
ords, and disprove the oft-repeated as
sertion that it is impossible to main
tain interest in a local enterprise of
this kind. Last year's attendance was |
the largest recorded, and the indica
tions point to still greater success this
year.
A band composed'of 100 skilled mu
sicians, each a soloist of established
reputation, is something the world has
seldom seen or heard, and the advent
of Gilmore’s band in the West marks
a distinct epoch in musical annals. The
great bandmaster completes an engage
ment in New York Tuesday morning,
and a special train with banners and
streamers will bring him and his 100
players to the metropolis of the West
and Southwest. The Gilmore concerts
will be given daily until Oct. 22, and
the modest admission fee of 25 cents in
cludes these concerts, as well as the
grand displays of manufactured and
ornamental goods, the art gallery with
its thousands of valuable and choice
paintings, the electrical exhibition,
and, indeed, every feature of the mam
moth entertainment. A number of
other attractions are announced and
the program is a very brilliant one.
’I he Nebraska Reitiirvey.
Washington, Sept. 3. —Senator
Paddock had another protracted con
ference at the interior department
about the Nebraska resurvey. Assist
ant Secretary Chandler informed him
that the law branch of the department
insisted that no resurveys could be
made until unanimous consent was re
ceived from all parlies interested
agreeing to waive damages in case of
changes of lines. From Grant county
ail such consents, except six, have
come, and upon receipt of these the
exterior lines of the county will be
run as promised Senator Paddock last
week. The senator succeeded in hav
ing a sum of money set aside to meet
the requirements of the other counties,
to be expended as soon as consents
were obtained. It will be necessary
to have these before the department
will order the duplication of Drevious
work.
A 'I iVfiity llnjr*’ 1 linlern quarantine.
Washington, D. C.. Sept 2.—Pres
ident Harrison reached Washington
yesterday. The president met Secre- j
tary of the Treasury Foster and At- :
torney General Miller, the oniy mem
bers of the cabinet in the city, to con
sult with reference to the cholera sit
uation. Assistant Secretary Spaulding
of the treasury department ana Dr.
Wyman, surgeon general of the Ma
rine hospital service, were also pres
ent.
After an hour's deliberation it was
decided not to issue a proclamation
now. but to issue a special circular.
The circular wiii be issued by the
Treasury department. It will amount
practically to a twenty days’ quaran
tine of vessels, or longer if necessary.
It will be coupled with the provision
that it will be enforced where not in
eontrovention to stale laws. The is
suance may be delayed somewhat
owing to the desire of the department
to publish at the same time the opin
ion of the attorney general on the
question of certain rights of the gov
ernment in the matter which it is
thought should accomuany the circu
lar.
The Treasury department will have
the national quarantine at the Dela
ware Breakwater and Cape Charles,
Virginia furnished with revenue cut
ters to assist in preventing the intro
duction of cholera bv those routes.
The condemned steamer Crawford at
Cape Charles has been fitted up as a.
hospital to be used in case of need.
The twenty days' quarintine to be
declared in the proposed circular will
apply to vessels from all ports, but the
sanitary officers will be allowed to ex
ercise discretion in the cases of those
coming from noninfected ports with
clear bills of health. The effect of'
the circular will be 10 discourage im
migration, as the steamship compa
nies will not be willing to lose money
by bringing over immigrants and sup
porting them so long in port. It will
also be a notice to foreign govern
ments that immigration for the pres-,
ent is undesirable.
The governor of Michigan has tele
graphed to the secretary of the treas
ury asking that an additional force of'
medical inspectors be detailed along
the state border to assist the immi
grant inspectors already, on duty.
Anthorlt)' <if the President.
Washington, Sept. 2—Attorney
General Miller submitted an opiniom
to the president as to the authority of
the executive in matters of quarantine
regulations.
The opinion reviews the various acts,
of congress on the subject ahd con
cludes as follows: '-My conclusion is
that the surgeon general of the marine
hospital service ana the secretary of
the treasury, with your approval, have
authority to make needful rules and
regulations, not inconsistent with the
state laws and regulations, for the
quarantining of ships coming into our
harbors with a view to the protection
of the health and lives of the people."

Found the “Lo«l < nblii” Mine.
Deadwooi* S. D., Sept. 3.—Will
iam S. Dany came into this city yes
terday, bringing with him several
thousand dollars’ worth of gold nug
gets and a number of specimens of ore
fairly bristling with panicles of gold.
Dany is a prospector and claims to
have found the celebrated “Lost
Cabin” mine, of which so much that
is romantic has been written and
printed in every, modern language.
His story is that two weeks ago, while
hunting in the western part of the
Black Hills, he stumbled into what he
at first supposed was a small cave, but
which, upon subsequent investigation,'
proved to be a room 20x30 feet and of
an average height of seven feet rudely
hewn out of solid rock by human
hands.
This room he first discovered to con
tain the skeleton of a human being
which, exciting his curiosity, induced
a search that was rewarded by finding
gold nuggets of an aggregate value of
$25,000. The place was many miles
from settlement and he remained until
a week ago. searching for the mine
from which the nuggets came. He
claims to have found it and states that
the ore he has was taken from it The
fact that Dany had so much gold with
him lends plausibility to the story,
which is creating a great deal of ix
citemeat and will cause numerous
prospecting parties to start out to
night. It is not probable they will
find the mine, however, as Daney re
fuses to locate it any more definitely
than by saying it is about fifty miles
from Deadwood. in the western part
of the Black Hills.
