FACES THE CHOLERA I * I — j SOTHAM IN MIDST OF A THREAT ENED INVASION. FIFTEEN GASES IN HOSPITAL Public Charges Made Against Health Officers Doty of Allowing Employes to Endanger Health. Xew York.—Although the cholera ; ; situation at quarantine is at present | | regarded by Dr. Alvah H. Doty, health j j officer of the port, as being well in I hand be did not conceal his apprehen- i | sion that Xew York is "in the very j | midst of a threatened invasion of ! : cholera." "The quarantine ’department of I ; every port in this country is facing a I very serious and onerous task during ! the summer." said Dr. Doty, "and it is ! not improbable that many vessels ar. i riving from Italy in the next few weeks will bring one or more cases : of the disease." Today's official report of the sitaa | tion shows there are fifteen cases in > Swinburne Island hospital, and four ! cases symptomic of the disease. With I in twenty-four hours one more victim | has died. The steamer Perugia has I been detained and the medical staff is ! preparing to make bacteriological ex j animation of the 284 persons from i the steamer Moltke who are now tin- ; der observation. It ts possible Governor Ihx will be called upon to take charge at quaran- j ! tine. Charles Dushkind. attorney for j the immigrants. whose charges J , against Dr. Doty are being investigat | ed by r commission, made public a I letr r h w rote to Judge Bulger of me 1 commission. suggesting the latter call ! upon Governor Dix to take charge of t th" lieaiih officer’s department. In a statement in reply to an inter- i i v: w attributed by a morning paper to j Judge Bulger. Dr. Doty reviewed the ! situation and pointed to the element of danger. "The statements attributed to Judge ledger.” Dr. Doty says, "are culculat- ! ed to alarm the people in the midst j of a threatened invasion of cholera that | feel justified in making a re ; ply." “'What can Dr. Doty, health officer j of the port, mean when he allows five , men who have been in daily contact with persons suffering from Asiatic cholera to come here in the same clothes they wore when among the cholera victims and touch elbows with evervbodr thev meet?’” is the I question propounded by Judge Bui- ; ger. in the interview. “The facts ere these: The five j men referred to were called as wit- ; nesses by the person* in charge of \ the investigation and were permitted | by me'to be absent from duty at Hoff- ; man island for this purpose. Cholera is not transmitted by clothing or by j the air. but by actual contact through | the mouth with discharges from the intestinal tract of the cholera victims. There is, therefore, no danger what ever from contact with a person who has been in the presence of the dis ease. ADJOURNMENT IN SIGHT. All Legislative Paths Lead to Speedy Close of Congress.

Louis Hunter in a Blind la Knocked Senseless by Falling Bird. St. Louis.—Being knocked senseless »y a wild goose Is probably not a com mon experience among hunters, but that is what happened to a St. Louis man. In company with W. C.

A flock of geese came flying Knocked Down ty a Wild Goose. overhead and Reel, from his blind fired into them, killing a large gan der. It started to fall and Ree shouted to his companion to get ou< of the way, but the other huntet was not quick enough.

' I DYNAMITE BLASTS AND INCENSE OF BURNED CEDAR BERRIES USED IN CEREMONY. CUT OUT “HONOR AND OBEY” John Otto and Miss Farnham Made One Before Rock-Hewn Altar on Ledge 100 Feet High—Devise Sec ond Ceremony. Grand Junction. Colo.—With weird and picturesque ceremony, preceded by a wedding banquet, cooked and served by the bride, and followed by ' a series of dynamite salutes to his bride and the American flag, Misa ; Beatrice Farnham. the Boston artist and sculptress, was married to John | Otto, the trail builder, in the mountain . fastnesses of Monument canon Out of deference to the minister. : the plans for marriage on top of in dependence rock were abandoned, and the ceremony was performed on Grand ledge. 100 feet high. The Rev. F. A. Hatch, Congregational minister at Fruit a. officiated and there were half a dozen invited guests. The bride and bridegroom stood be fore an altar which they had fash ioned from quartz and granite, under an arch of evergreen, in the rock the bride had carved the words "Truth, I Honor. Love and Justice." i The usual ring service was used, i but tbe clergyman omitted the words | "honor and obey" from his questions to Miss Farnham. because of Otto's 1 declaration that he did not believe in ; that part of the ceremony. “What is the use of making women promise to honor and obey," he said, “when they don't have any intention : of doing it. Half of the marriages ! performed simply force the woman to « w * I Af/rmcf rmnan A ~/owr orro He and I don't want my wife to make any promises she can't keep, for only so long as love lasts can marriage en dure" The marriage was solemnized by a double ceremony. To comply with the laws of the country, Otto secured a marriage license and was duly wedded by Rev. F. A. Hatch. The legal cere mony. to the mind of Otto, a professed atheist, and Miss Farnham, a free thinker, was not sufficient to “bind them in the holy bonds of wedlock," hence following the words which made them man and wife in the eyes of the law and the public at large, they climbed to the top of Independ ence monument. 550 feet high, by a fragile ladder of iron spikes, and went through a fantastic ceremony of their own. They were alone on the top of the pinnacle and to the few spectators on the ground their actions could not be plainly seen. It bad been their plan from the first to hare both ceremonies performed on tbe top of the monument, but no min ister or justice of the peace could be secured in any part of Mesa county who would risk his life in this task for love or money. Following the ceremony Otto burned incense to his wife in the form of cedar berries, which he sprinkled on i the camp fire. Then the bride and ! groom together planted a young spruce tree, which they designated as their witness tree, and declared would grow as long as their love lasted. Fought for Chum’s Life. Shenandoah, Pa.—While a number of boys were swimming in a Locust mountain reservoir Anthony Merca vage, 14 years old, took a cramp and was sinking for the second time when John Scheafer, aged 16, went to the lad's assistance and saved him from a watery grave at great peril.
