TREATMENT OF CHOLERA.

PRACTICAL DISCUSSION BY DR. ALBERT E. STERNE. lie Has Just Returned from Germany After m Si Tears Course of Studylie Made a Special Study of Cholera During; the Kpidenilo and Is Thoroughly Familiar 'with the Subject Some Rules Prescribed. The probability, or perhsps a better word would be the possibility, of a visitation of cholera this summer has caused a eood deal of discussion on the part of physicians, health and sanitary omoers and others, as to the best way of presenting the disease from entering our ports and of advantageously fighting it. should the vigilance of the quarantine and inspection oiiicera not be sufficient to keep it out. Dr. Albert E. Sterne of this city is perhaps aa well informed on the subject as any man in the United States. He has recently returned to this city after six years spent in perfecting his knowledge of medicine in Europe. Jle happened to be in Berlin during the cholera epidemic last euoimer and had an excellent opportunity of etudying the disease and its treatment A Sentinel reporter called upon the doctor yesterday and asked him to contribute something that would give the people of Indiana a better knowledge of the nature of the dineaso and of the Peat methods-of dealing with it. Dr. Nmrno Talk. Although he aid not care to write an article for publication lr. Sterne said: "I will talk to you about my experience and if you can make anything out of it you re welcome to make use of it and I will be glai to have been of eoaae service. The marvelous success with which the city of Berlin combated the entrance and spread of the diseas imported from Hamburg, a city only four an ! a hulf miles distant and in constant communication with the capital, was duo only to the energy of the municipal government of the latter, to which ttie inability displayed by the authorities of Hamburg stood in glaring coMraet, iot even the almost perfect tamtary urraivement of Ftriin and its usual excellent government could hve availed auainot so strong a foe had net the erercis-e of rigid laws been enforced ag;tint all clr.f-ses of tho people. "In their eilottu the civil authorities were most ably seouded by the medical trofession. The hitter, however, is absolutely powerless to contend against such a disease in an epidemic form. Physicians may help and save individual cased, but they cannot, unaided, protect ttie community at large. The community itself is its best protection and is succeerlul in so far as it complies absolutely with such regulations as are passed by tnecity boards, and the sooner and more thoroughly each individual become impressed with the fact that he, by complying with the rigid discipline ot cholera times, thereby best protects himself from the danger of infection, cannot be too forcibly enjoin id upon all. "The health authorities of our seaport towns accomplished wonderful results last summer and have by no means relaxed their ellbrts. This is our best guarantee for the exclusion of the common enemy during the coming hot month-. Hamburg allowed her opportunity to pa. a by and paid a frightful penalty for her Eegtigence. ltria and other cities, warned by Hamburg's fate, grasped vigorous meaaurrs and succeeded beyond expectation. Within a phort distance from Lenin thousands were attacked by cholera, thousands died, and uti.l, in Berlin, we had but thirty-live cases, of which only fifteen ended fatally. JWlin may be justly proud of what she accomplished and her course of action caunot be too strongly advocated. I.an Wr I"l.-icrrded. "Copies of certain rigid regulations and euggestions were placarded upon all bulletin hoards an 1 conspicuously placed in every house, both public and private. The people were exhorted to e every precaution aud were instructed as to what to do or to leave undone. The city was, and still remain, a model of cleanliness, a worthy e ample to follow. During the epidemic every street and lane was disinfected with sublimated chloride of lime. The sewers and river banks were especially watched. Every house-owner wa3 compelled to disinfect the court., vaults, etc., of his property. Strict uuarantino was established at all railway stations for passengers from infected or enspected districts. One of the finest hospitals in the city was asoignei for cholera, and other hospitals were prepared for emergencies, livery suspicious case of sickness was isolated, carefully guarded and kept under medical observation. The people were urged not to congregate in mass meetings of any description, though it never became necessary to forbid euch assemblages. Through the eJorts of the municipal government and the readiness of the people to comply with these efforts, Berlin, though almost surrounded with cholera, escaped the fate of her hister city. Large sums of money were granted to fight the cholera. Had Hamburg consented to a eulHcient appropriation when she was threatened with an epidemic, much of the misery and financial loss would have been avoided. Only S150.OXJ was asked for and refused. The financial loss to Hamburg is estimated to have ultimately amounted to $73,000,000. Financial Assistance. "Should there arise the necessity of fighting the cholera, no backwardness in granting safTicient means should be experienced. Above all thing?, adequate means of isolating suapieious, cases should be given, and complete isolation of established cases should be enforced. "As everyone knows, cholera belongs to that class of diseases termed in a general sense infectious or toxic diseases, meaning that it ia produced by some specific germ or microorganism, or by such poisons (called toxins; as these germs produce, either through secretion, excretion or decomposition. Toxic diseases are divided into (1) infectious iu a narrower sense or miaamic, where the infection takes place not only through direct contact, but also indirectly, as bv the atmosphere (!.') contagious where direct contact with infectious material is necessary ; ('') a combination of both missm icand ecntagiou. Cholera is of the second class, contagions. The best bacteriologists concur in the belief that cholera is not infectious in the narrow sense, asare for instance scarlet fever and diphtheria. Cholera m produced by germs, the common bacilli, which, finding their way into the alimentary tract, lodge in the walls of the intestines, but as far as is cow known not passing into the blood or other tissues. Developing best at about the body temperature, the trTms increase in number with incredible rspidity and cause the set of serious symptoms which 1 known- as cholera. The moit common symptoms are copious diarrlm-a, the stools in developed cases resembling rice water, sinking of the bodiy temperature, alarming collar s of the vital forces. In other cases obstinate constipation sets in, there is great nervous excitement, quick co lapse and the patient im in a fsw hours or even in an hour.

These are the most dangerous cases. These evacuations from the bowels are the most dangerous and active agent for the epread of the dieeteo, for in them is contained the specific toxie agent. Too much stress cannot be laid on this point, for it has been proved again and again that the spreading of the disease has been caused by the dejections of a single cholera patient. They must be rendered harmless and the greatest caution displayed daring the process of disinfection. From this lact we are to deduce, simply avoid every means of contact with the toxic material. This latter is chiefly contained in the excrement of cholera patients, with such articles as may have come in contact with such excrement, and into any lluid medium into which euch toxio materials have been emptied. Should lie n tiulde. "Theas facts should be a guide for all of ua and give us the following rules according to which we should live during an epidemic of cholera: "1.' Everything and every cause tending to produce a disorder of the digestive apparatus, such as cold drinks, uncooked fruits, especially unripe or faulty, unnecessary exposure, etc., should be studiously avoided. '"J. Every cage, even of ordinary diarrhea, should be carefully attended to. Every case should be looked upon with suspicion and a physician oonaolted. Uncalled for anxiety on the part of persons alllicted with chronic or acute looseness of the bowels ia. however, distinctly harmful. Such persons should be doubly careful, but need not be frightened. "3. The utmost circumspection should be shown in the way of living. All substances likely to decompose are to be looked upon as sources of possible infection and ought to be destroyed. "4, The beat agent to render all things harmlos is heat. All disinfectants are inferior in their workings to heat. "5. Special care should be taken in regard to food and drink. Every form of nourishment should be subjected to the action of heat. J'rinking water should be boiled for at leant twenty minutes, or better still, for a longer time. . V.. However, merely to boil the drinking water is not HuiHcienL All the water used in the household should be wed boiled, especially water used for washing the table dishes and that used for the toilet aud especially for cleansing the teeth. "7. I'se every form of hygiene in household duties. Pure air is an enemy of every kind of germ. Therefore air the rooms abundantly. "S. J Uninfect all closets for private purposes. Also every locality capable of producing unwholesome odors. The best disinfectant except heat is chloride of lime in substance colored red or blue to make it discernible, or chloride of lime au 1 corrosive sublimate. Avoid motley crowds when infection is likely to exist aud to be spread. "In case of euch an epidemic it is well to have a little acid at hand and to use it in doses of about five drops once or twice a day, even where symptoms of cholera are not present. The body temperature should be kept up by all means, and the loss of body liquids be restrained at every cost, and if necessary be resupplied by a hypodermoklycis or better still by the intra-venous injection of a so-called physiological salt solution of the strength of -1 o per cent., i. e., six grammes of salt to the liter (1,000 parts) of water that has been boiled and cooled to almost 10" degrees. These measured are p.osoiutely indicated ilthe algid or asphystic state developes. before this stage arrives coj. Ions enemata of warm water containing tannic acid und opium should have been given to supply liquid to the system an 1 restrain the diarrhe a. .An absolute necessity is the maintenance of the patient's strength and this can be accomplished in most instances by tho administration of alcoholic and other stimulant, whisky, brundy, rum, arrac, diluted with boiled water, and, where they can be given, strong redwines and champagne. From ten to twentv drops of either does good service, as also hypodermic injections of oil of camphor and ether or ammonia. Friction of the skin, hot baths and warming llasks to the extremities Ehould also bo employtd. By complying with the rules mentioned the individual can Bid, and in fact nearly always thoroughly protect himself from the infection." HIS WIFE IS A NEGRO WOMAN.

Arthur Mil Ii gm Attempts Kiitride Because lie I MnrrW'd to n NcRrf . I Terrs Haut Ki press. Because be was married to a notorious negress of the worst poesible Btripe Arthur Miliigan. a white man, attempted to commit suicide at bis lodgings on S. First-st. yesterday evening. Miliigan made the attempt on his life by swallowing broken glass, a rather uncommon route to the golden gates. The story is highly sensational in every detail. The would-be suicide is only twentyeight years of age and ia a fairly good looking man. His wife ia the notorious Marv Springs, a negro prostitute, living near the corner of Thirteenth and Maineta., and sister of Hen Springs a wt-ll known police character. At o'clock yesterday evening Miliigan says ho swallowed a largo handtul of powdered glass with suicidai intent. Nearly an hour after the alleged attempt on his life the police were notified and the patrol wixon was sent to the house. He was found in his room in the old ramshackle tenement house at the corner of First and Farrington-ets., and loaded in the wagon and taken to jail, where he was locked up fcr safe keeping. He repeatedly declared his intention to kill himself w hile he waa being carted to jail, and at times became quite tragic when he recited the cause which impelled him to the desperate deed. Miliigan was married to the negress at Vincennes. He claims that tho whole transaction was encompassed by fraud, and he does not believe the ceremony was legal. He says he has never lived with, the woman and never will, and that the thought of her calling herself Mrs. Miliigan and claiming to be his lawfully wedded wife has preyed on his mind so constantly as to almost drive him insane, ami he has brooded over the terrible circumstance until life has become a burden to him and he prefers death to the disgrace. Ite says that the police can't Keep him in jail for any length of time, and as soon as he gets out he will kill himself. When asked how he came to be married to a negro woman he said that the whole thing was done while ho was under the influence of liquor." He claims to have gone on a spree at Vincennes a few weeks ago and that while he was still too drunk to realize what was going on the marriage was performed. He does not remember who it was that performed the ceremony. Somebody, he says, took out a marriage license for him and Mary Springs at the oflice of the county clerk at Knox county he does not know who. He cannot recall any of the circumstances leading up to the mtrriage nor how, when nor where he met the woman who calls herself his wife, the first recollection he has of anything connected with the hideous union was one morning when his mind began to come out from under the alcoholic cloud that had enshrouded him he found himself in the same room with the negress. 1 A Herions Fall. .

THE REPORT IS SUBMITTED.

CONDITION OF HOME FOR FEEBLEMINDED BOYS. The State Roard of Charities Makes Known to the Governor Its Finding! After by Thorough Inrestigntlon Most of the Charges Are Not Sustained Digest of the Report. The report of the etate board of charities of its investigation of the home for feeble-minded children was submitted to the governor yesterday. The committee examined the aifidayiti of Sarah Oestry IX C. Monroe, William Blake, John Boley and Charles Talmage, and the written statements of C. E. Weber, Miss Belle Carroll, J. II. Leonard and Curtis "Wickard. Besides this evidence forty-five witnesses were examined. Of the actioni of John G. Blake the report says: On April 4 Mr. Blake made a confession to C. E. Weber of unbecoming conduct toward one or mors inmates of the institution. A few minutes later he made a similar coufession to James II. Leonard. These confessious were reported to the chairman of the board of trustees within an hour after thsy were rnsde. Xh committee is satisfied that the trustees had no knowledge or suspicion of Blake's wrong-doing until April 4, and that his dismissal wasaocomplisbsd as soon as possible. Ho blame rests upon the trustees ia the matter of his downfall aud dismissal. The cosamittee finds that James If. Leonard had known for more than three months previous of Blake's act. and that he did not impart tnat knowledge to any one except Kinks. The report says that Mr. Leonard realized tiiat Blake must go speedily and that he made strenuous efiorts to get him away quietly, hoping to avert the disgrace and icaodal to the institution and state which has occurred. His plans were laid to be put in operation on the next day following the one that Blake made his eonfeision, and if that confession had not been made they would probably hare been successfully carried out. '1 he committee is convinced that Mr. Leonard acted with good intentions. If he could have been successful it might have been better, both for the institution and the rtate, that a demoralizing scandal might have been averted and the otlender removed. Mr. Leonard took precautions against any further wrong-doing. It is thought that he acted for the test and with pure motives. His error was one of judgment, cot an intentional wrong aot, and he is not deserving of censure. The charges ot mismanagement of a business nature are taken up one at a time, and in most cases are shown to be wholly groundless. In some instances provisions were purchased at a higher price than the lowest bid. The committee did not think that this was due to any desire to show favoritism in such purchases, but that a better quality than that offered by the lower bidders was purchased. There were a few cases of email expenditures not exactly authorized by law, but for which the committee thinks no reprimand is due the management. On the whole the report shows the business management of the institution to be above reproach. More Serious Charges. The more serious charges were those made against the character and conduct of several of the employes of the institution. These charges were thoroughly investigated, each one being taken up separately, and every witness who had any testimony to offer was examined on each charge specifically, fn this manner the committee was enabled to accomplish its work iu a more intelligent manner than in the old way of having each witness testify on all charges at one hearing. In regard to these personal charges the report eays: We beard a great deal of so-oalled testimony upon this subject, especially wiih regard to Mrs. Orr. Many of the statements were merely hearsay. There was little direct testimony of Improper conduct, but much strong testimony on the other side, especially iu tt.e rase of Mrs. Orr. Mrs. Orr's friendly and sociable bearing to the gentlemen of the institution, and also to gcntlemeu guekts, has given riss to some insinuations which, magnified and distorted by gossips, have taken at last the shape of serious charges. The charges against Mrs. Orr were not sustained. We do not believe her to have been seriously iudisoreet, and we found much reason to believe that Mrs. Orr is an exceedingly competent matron and a very faithful servant of the state. We found no evidence against the character of lr. Sweirnen, but mach to his crecit, and are of the opinion that he is a competent and faithful phy.-ieian. There is no truth in the gossip concerning Mr. Leonard, Mr. Tallage and Miss Simms. We found no reason to believe there was any serious indiscretion on tLeir part, but found much to make us believe them to be competent and faithful servants of the state. About the only charge that was even pr.rtially sustained was the charge that there was too much and too severe corporal punishment. Of this charge the report says : We find that there have been a few instances of sevvre cbastiseuieut, hut they were ia grave and dillicult cases in which severe measures were necessary for discipline, as well as for the good of those punisheJ. We are of the opinion that the charges of cruelty are not sustained, and the charge of excessive severity is so gross sn exaggeration as to be, in ftiot, untrue. We are of the opinion, however, that other methods may be found which may be substituted, at least in many instances, so that the use of the padule or strap may be less frequent. The charges that inmates of the reform school for boys were improperly transferred to the institution and that bright children were admitted were found to be wholly groundless, there being no bright children at the home and no trustworthy evidence ehowiug that any had ever been admitted or kept there. Of the former charge the report eays: We found no reason to believe that there was. anything wrong in these transfers. They were made at first with the advice of the attorney-general, and that the course taken is, therefore, a legal one. With regard to a 1 but two or three of them, they are proper inmates of the institution. We are by no means certain that the others are there improperly. We are of the opinion that there is no foundation for the eharges made iu this respect. MISCELLANEOUS DISPATCHES.

LOWEST IN YEARS.

AYhoat Gets "Way Down to Bed-Hock l'rlcea. CHICAGO, May 29 Wheat today sold at, with one exception, the lowest point in thirty years. The single exception vaa in 1887, during the reaction from the inflation caused by the running of a corner by Harper, the bank manager of Cincinnati The great receipts with little outlet for the wheat, the fine weather, weaker cables, financial tightness aud the heavy load of wheat carried boo all acted as depressing influences. The cash price broke below 70c early and decided many wagers made on Buch figure. Then on the shaky feeling May touched bSc, a price reached but once before eince war times. Liquidation was on a stupendous scale ; stop loss orders were pouring in all day, margins were wiped out almost every moment, causing large lots to be thrown on the market, and short seders were encouraged to operate with increased freedom. The local receipts were 150 cars ahovo expectations and the deliveries at all primary points were heavy while exports were slow. The newspapers had long dispatches from Europe claiming that the wheat outlook there was almost without exception either up to the average or above and there was little doubt but that the outlook in America was more encouraging. The trade did not stop to inquire whether the authorityifor the rosy view of the foreign situation was any better than tho authority w hich hag of late been sending contrary reports, but as cables came lower they were regarded as confirmatory and the selling went on unchecked. The opening was about if"., ijc lower and with only e'iglit liuctuationa prices further declined l1,?, than held steadier and the closing wai about lie lower for July and 2c lower for September than the clobir.g, figures cf Saturday. There has been a gol deal of aggravation of the situation Ly the persistent statement that money ii dillicult to borrow on tho uecurity of wheat. Egleston, who is in a position to talk authoritatively on the subject, taya that owing to its low price bankers lernt readily upon it within bo of its market price. He says also that he never found it easier to buy on wheat collaterals. The visible supply decreased lJllll.COO bushels, which was N.iO.OUO bushels more than was generally looked for, and there was some cash wheat worked for export, which two circumstances were of some assistance in steadying the market at the decline. Corn was easy, but small stocks make sellers careful and the day's decline was only c on July, but May dropped lc. The feature of the day was the taking in of many of the iarge ''short" lines of July and putting out of the September. The failure to catch many stop loss orders at 40c and increase the otl'erings was looked upon as a steady feature. Oats were unsettled. Trices declined J C c early, cnielly on arrivals exceeding the estimates. After the decline there was a better feeling aud prices reacted to opening figures, the market closiug steady for July and September, with Af";i'c lower for May and June. Charlie Wright plaved with pork, sending the price ot! SI on light business. A few speculators were caught on etop orders and Wright ,rot tho pork and then rallied the price lifty cents in a fow minutes. Lard and ribs closed respectively 15c and 20c lower than Saturday.

F, Berry & Cos Chicago adrices are at follows: The week opens very unfavorable to holders of everything. There is scarcely anything that is marketab e. but there are more oilerings than buyers. Foreign markets are lower. One of the most potent caues of the decline of 2 cents in whrat is tho New York JIrall"s forden adviues giving reports of greatly improved conditions owine to resent rains in all the larjie graiu producing countries abroad. '1 he next depressing factor was the report of four million additional gold negotiated for export, tho fine weather in this country and general desire to sell any and everything that will bring money. The decrease of 1,330.000 in the visible supply is not Jsrgo enough to salücienily reduce oar stock. The market still looks as though there would hare to le a large liquidation by the geoeral trade in July wheat beiore there can be great inducements to investors. There was a eood all-around demand for corn and oats, but (he speculative feeling was very bearish and the large receipts were more than the market eould stand ; but the exceedingly tine prospects for corn may induce too much short selling in the weak spots. Therefore, we would advise caution about se bring on breaks. There was Ttry little doiug in speculative

future in hog produce. At the decline the holders of September probably increased their line by bnyiug from the short sellers about 3,000 to 5JCOijarrels mofe. PRODUCE MARKETS.

Wool. Shearing is late on aecount of the cold weather. Almost all who have sheared have sold their wool promptly, wLioh has proved to be the wiaest course. Very few merchants and wool dealers are piling up their wool t wait for a buyer. They either ship the wool la live and ten bag lots to our Indianapolis deal, ers or ship east to the commission houses. Thee small shipments are so numerous to this city that the dealers are enable to grade and report on the wool as fast as it arrives. The orders which one of our dealers was so fortunate as to get early in the season will be filled when the wool now in sight is graded, and they are now at sea as much as anyone as to the real values of wool. The uncertainty as to tariff legislation and the tight money marksmake future values very problematical. Na eastern buyers are in this market so far as we can learn.

Since Jan. 1 $tiO,O0O,0O0 in gold has been exported to F.urope and the export movement instead of bavin? abated eeerus to have received a fre?h impetus. Most of this rold was taken from the U. treai ury, and practically all that ia now being exported comes from tho eame source, la that time the treasury department has uatainod a net loss of $-" .314,243. The gold holdings within the live month" ol thia year have at times fluctuated, but einca the first cf May the gold hasbeen nearly always below the limit of the reserve of cU.K -W0. It is today invaded to tht extent of more than $1,X.i0.Oi'O and advices receivfl l from .New York ehow that with the gold engaged for shipment on Tuet-day and Wednesday f:,lii0-)0 tho total net gold remaining in tho treasury will bo about cr-'3,ln;0,(ji'J. the lowest luure reached eince the resumption of specie payments. In addition to this large e:i(ras;err.ent there are report! current here from sources usually reliable that more gold will iro out ou next Saturday, euilicient, it i-i paid, to reduce tha gold holdings to .M.OoO.OjO. I'espite these heavy ehipmsnts, treas ury oliicia'a expreei Kre;it confidence ia the ability of the treasury to restore the cold bnlance. They point lo the fact that there is & gradual aud healthy inllow of pold irom natural t aus -a lo the treasury, which ia only temporarily checked by tha large amounts taken for export, A cessation of gold export? in larze amount is looked for by July 1. as it is understood that the Austrian demand ii weil niga supplied. X peculiar and encouraging feature o! the decrease of pold i that a corresponding increase ia shown in the net treasury balance. That balance today is J5,4'.7,S'.;, or nearly a mi. lion dollars greatei than it was on March 7. when Secretary Carlisle took oilici&I charge cf the treasury department. Of this money ll.:,.in.O'J0 is in subsidiary coin and "0,tK0 in nationnl bank !eior-itarie4. 1'oth of thesa items are slightly in eicoss of what they were cn March 7. The lirarnjju.-in Sit nut ioiu Minister F.aker cables from Managua under date of tho ÜSth that a war vessel is desirabla at Corinto to protect American interests, as the eituatioa is eeriou. Still he makes nu mention of any hershness toward Americans. The Alliance landed marines at (Jreytown, but withdrew them at the pueROBtion of the l". S. consul. Secretary Greshatn today said that he had heard nothing from nn autheniic source about a proposition to establish a protectorate over Nicaragua. lr. (Juzman. the Nicara'uan mini-ter. says that if the canal is built the United States will establish a protectorate over it. 'iiiit:tl Note. Solicitor-General Maxwell entered OB hia duties Monday.
