THE Scand'a of the Hamtu rg-Ameri­ can line arrived Friday at midnight, and ^ the worst fears of the New York health ^ officers were realized. Thirty-two ; deaths occurred during the voyage. One victim was from among the first cabin passengers, two among the crew, J and twenty-nine among the steerage. I*1 The ship is full of cholera. The Scandia carried 981 steerage passen- gore, twenty-eight cabin pacsengers, ; and the crew numbered seventy-nine--a i; total of l,ti86 fouls aboard the ship.

She was boarded by the health officer, who was informed that one of the seamen on board had been attacked with cholera. The man was removed to a hospital and the seameu were thoroughly fumigated. The munic­ ipal authorities have asked the Minis­ ter of the Interior to give them permis­ sion to cremate the lodies of those who , die in the city.

Whether there had hwn any among the cabin*-passengers has not been reported. Confusion and panic reign supreme on the Normannia. The 1,000 odd passengers were kept in densest ignorance of the true state of affairs during the entire voyage. They were told that the deaths which had oc­ curred were from natural causes. Satur­ day and early Sunday morning they were laughing and Joking at the mis­ chance which detained them in quaran­ tine and sure of being shortly released. At noon thej' learned better. News­ papers and letters were brought on board. They discovered that they were prisoners for an indefinite length of time, cheek by jowl with the terrible scourge. The scone that transpired is indescribable. Women were crying and wailing, men were cursing, and all were terroe-strlcken. One passenger offered the health officers $2,000 in cash to take him ashore. Others frantically laid their entire fortune® at the feet of the visitors, and begged that they be al­ lowed to hide in the boat on the return trip. The health officers were over­ come by the pitiable soene, and made haste to departs , The panic on board the Normanttia was somewhat quelled when the steer­ age passengers and the sick had been removed. The steerage passengers were transferred to Hoffman Island, which had been made, ready for them, and the six patients were sent to the hospital pavilions on Swinburne Island. On board the Rugla and Moravia the imprisoned emigrants were given very Utile knowledge as to what was going on, and they made cor­ respondingly little trouble. But the air of wKinK formerly prcTr.lI'od on the Moravia, the original pest ship,' had departed. Sullenly the emigrants were massed against the sails, watching the pleasant panorama which is always ua- tolding at this busy gateway of the sea, and wondering how long their bamsh- m ~ ant would last. The crematory retort on flwinburfie Island has been kept at a white heat night and day since the first pest ship, the Moravia, arrived. At midnight Saturday it received its first dead, the three who died., during the; day. The bodies of all who die in quarantine will be cremated, uniess friends are prompt in making other arrangements. It is possible to embalm the bodies in such a way as to kill :aljl cholera germs, and ("onvenleneies for this process are at hand. The four black hulls of the cholera fleet swung lazily at anchor with the tide Sunday. Nearest the city was the Rugia. A few hundred yards away lay the Moravia. Alongside it was the Stubbenhuk, and neares* the Jersey shore rode the big express steamer Nor­ mannia. When tugs carrying newspa­ per men approached the latter steamer a curious crowd'was seen aft. This was before the passengers had learned of the danger they Were in. Lottie Collins, of "Ta-ra-ra, Boom- de-ay" fame, restless and irritated, stood tapping her toe on the pollBhed deck. Beside her was the venerable John R. McPherson, United States Sen- 4. O. WHITTIER IS DEAD. <lMk«r Poet, »t a Ripe Old Acer A HtM" Peacefully Awi;. John G. Whlttier, the Quaker poet, died at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday ing", at Hampton Falls, N. H. The end was like his life, peaceful, and he passed away like one falling asleep. His near* est relatives and Dr. Douglass were at his bedside when death came, and he seemed to be conscious oj his surround­ ings at the last moment. The funeral, at Amesbury, according to the Quaker custom, will be simple, with no sermon. John G. Whittier'g latter years had been a beautiful ideal of old age. Long ago he laid aside the heavy cares of life to reap the reward of his labors for man­ kind, aad beloved of a nation and the entire English-speaking race he awaited patiently the summons to his final home. It had been his custom o.f late years to spend his summers at Oak Knoll and his winters at his home in Amesbury, always among the books he so dearly loved. His birthplace, near Haverhill, Mass., still stands, only, a little altered from what It was in 1807. A farmer's son, born at a time when New England farm life was more frugal than it is nowadays, he had none of the opportunities for culture which Holmes and Lowell enjoyed in their youth. His parents were intelligent and upright people of limited means, who lived in s simplicity o* the Quaker faith, snd there v?xis^ but little in his early sur roundinge to encourage and develop a jfary taste.

One of his earliest poems, "The Exile's Departure," she sent with­ out his knowledge to the Newburyport Free Press, signing it with his initial, "W., Haverhill, June 1, 1826." The publication of this {foem led to the ac­ quaintance and friendship of Wflliam Lloyd Garrison, then the editor of the paper, a friendship whicli lasted and in­ creased untii death ended it. After this it .was not long before Whittier's household lyrics gave him such a. hold on the ^pular heart, as later, in the struggle for emancipation, made him a power in the land. It is unnecessary to quote from works so familiar to almost every reader, but sufficient to mention such legends as "Skipper Ireson's Ride," "The Witch's Daughter," "Mary Garvin," Merrories," "The Playmate," and.

In view of the threatened cholera in­ vasion the New York Board of Health has Issued a circular which, among other things, contains the following recommendations: Don't eat raw, un­ cooked articles of any bind, not even I milk. Don't eat or drink to ' excess, bon't drink unboiled water. 1 Dofo't eat or drink any ar­ ticles unless they have been thoroughly fc&d recently cooked and boiled, and the knore recent and hotter the better. Don't Bat or .handle food with unwashed habds, of receive it"from the unwashed hands of others. Don't use the hands for any purpose when soiled with chol­ era discharges; thoroughly cleanse them &t once. Don't doctor yourself for bowel 'complaint, but go to bed and send for the nearest physician at once. Bend for your family physician; send to a dispensary or hosplial; send to the health department; to the nearest police station, for he wr9^e was on the occasion of Dr. Holmes' recent oirtnday. Mr. Whittier never married. Between his sister Elizabeth and himself there existed the rarest and most delicate Jove and friendship, which, doubtless, had no little to do with the poet's inspirations. His home was broken up at her death and his heart suffered In the same mis­ fortune its greatest shock. His nidfce came to him at the death of his sister and always strove to make that great loss as little felt as possible. Mr. Whlttier was not a rich man, nor was he poor. About fifty or sixty thou­ sand copies of his works are sold every year, and.on the revenues thus derived he was able to pass hie declining years in ease and comfort. The news-of the death of John O. Whittier tons received at Haverhill with universal feelings of sadness and regret, The city hall bell was struck eighty four times at 8 o'clock as indi­ cating the age of the deceased, and flags on the public buildings and sohool ! houses were displayed at half mast as 'tokens of respect tor the dead poet.

CORN BELT EXPOSITION TO BE HELD AT SOUTH DAKOTA* m.tchelu The ' Kxpoeitlon Will be Credit to the State--Will Hold From* September 28 to Oetober 6--Tweaty- ^SlMsi to be Represented. Cor»-*Wae». » ^ «. SOUTH DAKOTA is one of those state* in the country which Is at the present on the top wave of prosperity and her residents, with the object of calling the> attention of her sister states to her un­ bounded resources and her richness in* agricultural way have decided on th* holding of a Corn iielt Exposition in Mitchell from September 28 to Oct<k>er 8, 1892. The exposition is to be held In a> Corn Palace building which at this tlme> is nearly completed. The building will be a large and expensive one and all the various tasty features of architec­ tural skill are being employed to make the exterior very attractive. The In­ terior is sufficiently large to accommo­ date several thousand people while Beated, besides the various exhibits' from the twenty-one counties in the Corn Belt of the state, and all the mineral exhibits of gold, silver, tin, lead, etc., from j.he Black Hills. While the exposition is expected to benefit the entire state vet only those counties lying within the Corn Belt district will have charge of the exposition. AThe ' Corn Belt regiou is known as the twenty-one counties situated in the south-eastern portion of the state. It Is here that corn is successfully raised and of such quality and quantity as ' to rival thijt grown in more southerly states. This is the spot in the state where the farners have grown wealthy fromi • the annual sale or turning off of vast quantities of cattle and hogs. Diversified farming here Is the rule and the farmers are in conse­ quence successful in their pursuits. The Corn Belt is the oldest settled and most prosperous part of the state. A crop failme has scarcely ever been known and with the pride brought about by success the residents of the Coin Belt are endeavoring by thi^Expo- sition to show her resources in an at­ tractive manner, and to rid from the minds of Easterners the idea that South Dakota is a place where only bli/zards, drouths. Indians, and destitute people abound. In this land of bright sun­ shiny weather genuine blizzards are as rare as in the East, drouths have never- effected the Corn Belt, Indians are as scarce as on the streets of Chicago, and the farmers are housed in substantial homes, their stock in roomy barns, and the residents of the state will be found to be of an intelligent class. Ameri­ cans by birth in an overwhelming ma­ jority, they 4re mostly educated. They- are proud of their state and they inl tend that tho rest of the world shalt know it as they know it In that parn of the state north and west of the CorQ Belt region the farmers a few years agi"* were subjected to the discouragement, incident to a new country and to plo" neers. The southeastern part of the state was moro slowly settled than the rest of the state, and the residents were farming successfully at the time of the great influ^ of immigration into the rest of the state in the early eighties. The people who then came to secure Dakota laud were far different from the pres­ ent class of residents. Those who came then were brought here with the expec­ tation of securing land without making it their home. The majority of the fer­ tile acres of tho btoad prairies of the state were taken up by this class. Many never tilled their land at all and of those that did do any farming done it in such a careless bap-hazard way that when any set back was brought about through crop failure they failed to withstand the storm and left the coun­ try. The experienced farmers among those who first came staved, the inex­ perienced and thriftless class was weeded out, and their places after­ ward taken by the better element and ' to-day without exception the.farmers of the state are of tho right class and are working their way towarefs a sure enough success. The great crop yields of 1891 have been, take the state as a whole, repeated the present season. Conservative estimates place the wheat crop at 55,000,000 bushels, the corn crop at 25,000,000 bushels,..and the oat\ crop at 60,000,000 bushels'. The effects of these magnificent yields has been to install a spirit of enthusiasm into the people of the state and a spirit Qf en- . terprise which is showing itself in all directions in increased business activ­ ity. From an assessed valuation & $47>01,000, in 1883 the state has pros­ pered to such an extent that tffe assessed valuation this year is $137,- 373,761, an increase of 300 per cent. This part of the Northwest which was once considered "away out West," is but 500 miles from the World's Fair City and can be reached by a twelve hour ride from that place. Proximity to large markets is therefore clearly shown. Investments by eastern parties will be made to a large extent in the next few years. Nearly every other section of the country has been boomed by investors, in fact, South Dakota is about the only section of the country where the effect of 'booming' is not shown, and capitalists are bound in . a veiy short time to become convinced that the avenue for rich investments have surely opened in this state. t'outh Dakota expects in the future to have the only Corn Palaces In the Northwest. The celebrated Corn Pal­ aces of Sioux City attracted the atten­ tion of the entire country to that city, and yet Sioux City s prosperity can be attributed to a great extent to the hogs and cattle raised on South Dakota soil and fed on South Dakota corn. The present Corn Belt Exposition will be one of great credit to the state. It is no small affair Ihit of such magni­ tude the visitors wonder when they view the building now going up at the size of the undertaking. The Exposi­ tion is directly under the management of the citizens of Mitchell who Ijave as­ sumed ail the costs of the undertaking, but the prominent residents and real estate men of all the counties in the Corn Belt are at work to make thfr Exposition a great success. Among the attractions which are offered be­ sides the beautiful palace decorations- are the daily concerts of the Iowa States* Band, a musical organization of fiftjr pieces, and the doings of political days' when Republican, Democratic and Farmers' Alliance speakers of national repute will deliver addresses, besides others now being arrange:! for. The interiot of the building will be lit by myriads of electric lights and will re­ semble a palace in every sense of the> word. The force of ISO decorators under the charge of Prof. Bohe, who* had supervision of the decorations of frhe New Orleans Exposition for several years has commenced work on th» building. The Exposition is a. big undertaking and reflects great- credit qn the city where it is to be held and upon the residents of the Corn Belt as well. THE extent of tho influence a lake1 may exercise upon climate is illustrated by the statement of M. Forel that the Quantity of heat accumulated by Lake Leman during the summer is equlv»* lent to that which would be given out by the burning of 51.000,000 tons of coal. A railroad train carrying this coal would be 18.000 kilometers long, or nearly the length of the earth's merl- fan from note Mi*
