A Genuine Case In Buda—l’esth.
= ‘ BUDA-PESTH, Aug. 30,—A masonhas died
of cholera in the hospital here. It is of-
ficially announced that the case was of the
Asiatic type. This is the first authentic
case of the disease that hasoccurred here.
, From Aug. 25 to 27 there were 41 new
cases of the disease and 29 deaths in Hun-
gary. The epidemic is less virulent in Rou-
mania, but is spreading rapidly. The Rou-
mauians on the frontier at Mikis, near _
Klausenburg, engaged in a riot and demol-
ished the cholera hospital. The official re-
port shows 40 new cases and 31, deathsin

virulent form.
, A Cholera Riot.
: ,BUCHABEST, Aug. 30.-—A mob in Brarilov
laSt evening attacked the men engaged in
transporting patients to the cholera hospi-
tal. Its leaders were relatives of the sick
{who believed that the hospital physicians
purposely caused the deaths of all entrust-
ed to their care. They refused to yield to
the police. After a fight of several min--
lites the police fired into the mob. The
rioters then fled, leaving many wounded in
the street.
FRANCE THREATENS SIAM.
Zangkok Apparently Is Still In Great Dan-

f BANGKOK, Aug. s0.—The French govern-
hicnt threatens through its special envoy,
M. de Vilers, to send back the French gun-
boats to the Menam before Bangkok in
_ case its new demands be not granted im~
mediately. . .
3; The foreign residents of the city are in-
dignant in view of France’s persistence in
ignoring the provisional agreement reached
when Siam accepted the ultimatum.
« The absence of neutral warships is a
source of general anxiety. The German ‘

the French gunboat Lion will be the only
warship before Bangkok.

BIG MEN IN HISTORY.
a
Many Times an Incident Interesting In-
Itself Is Inliarmonious Because It May
Not Be Characteristic of the Man About
Whom the Story Is Told. 1 '
5-5 There is a story. going the “was °f
the newspapers to the eifect that during
the siege of' :P'ete‘rsbur'g General Lee
turned aside from the grave duties and
dangers of his position to pick up and’
down by a Federal shell. A similar
story has been told of Lincoln to illus-
trate his tenderness of heart, and the
probability is that the fable originated.
away back in the early dawn of civiliza
tion. It is mostly so with the anecdotes
which figure in the history ofgrest men
and events. When they are not bor-
rowed from ‘ the ancients and handed
doWn through successive generations,
they are manufactured by skillful writ-
ers to suit particular. characters and oc-
casions. We may be quite sure that
General‘L’ee.‘ never paused in the course
of a battle toj‘IOOk’ after distressed birds.
He was a man of fine feeling, undoubt-
edly, but it does not follow that he was
mentally absurd”,
tic, and so it' has no historical value. A
distinguished man’s fame is harmed
rather than helped when he is thus rep-
resented as manifesting himself in an 11-
logical and improbable manner. It
would be easy to believe of Lee that he
stooped to ease the pain of a wounded
soldier or that he gave his rations to a
hungry prisoner, but it is not reasonable
to suppose that his instinct of sympathy
betrayed him into the girlish act which
this story attributes to him.‘ And thus
it is with hundreds Of other anecdotes
that are used to impart an enlivening
flavor to the dreariness of history.
The anecdote is a desirable thing ill
works which are intended to convey a
vivid impression of historical occur-
rences or celebrated personalities, but it
needs to be employed judiciously and
with a rational sense of fitness. There
is no advantage gained when such mat-
ter is introduced for the mere purpose of
giving variety where there would other-
wise be monotony. The anecdote’s pros-
perity lies in its adaptability to the char-
acter that is .being portrayed and its
" service as a striking illustration of an in-
dividual trait or tendency. We often
get a better idea of a man from some
simple story of his denoting tastes or
caprices than frOm thelabored accounts
of his more important proceedings, but
the story must be carefully adjusted to
the logic of the man’s life and the salient
facts of his career, or its intention will
be defeated.
The best historians and biographers
understand this and are accordingly as
painstaking and solicitous in the case of
an anecdote as in ..that of a problem of
serious interest. They do not tell stories
of that sort for superficial effect or to
quicken the reader’s flagging attention,
but to emphasize a given characteristic
and to fill a practical want in the way
of description or analysis. The anecdote
supplements and illuminates the heavier
features Of the narrative. It is used
with discrimination and not in a light
and promiscuous manner. The picture
would not be'complete without it. The
character would be dim and distant in
the absence of such aid to the apprecia-
tion of governing motives and peculiari-
ties.
It is not really essential that anecdotes
thus employed shall be literally true.
Some of the best of them are pure inven-
tions, which have the rare merit of being
well imagined. A story that has a rea-
sonable degree of probability and that
can be credited consistently with what
‘is known of the general qualities of a
character is useful even when it is not
positively accurate. There are some fic-
tions of that kind which are worth more
in their way than many ponderous and
tiresome facts. All of the great figures
in history owe something to these con-
venient fables. They are identified with
certain anecdotes that keepthem in easy
remembrance and that enable us to make
close acquaintance with them. But the
anecdotes must have the virtue of plan—
ose.
p Unless they represent things which
might have happened without contra-
diction of the character to which they
relate there is no justification for them,
and they are a reproach to the writer
who uses them as well as a damage to
the man whom they are designed to
benefit. The philosOphy of the matter is
all contained in the statement that great

dotes which come within this rule are
historically valuable, whether strictly
true or only products of fancy, and those

Nature’s Protection For Unripe Fruit.
For protection from the animal world
immature fruits have developed a num-
ber of interesting devices. Almost uni-
versally “green” fruits so harmonize
with surrounding color as to escape de-
tection. In fact, the hazel nut is envel-
oped in, a leafy coat which renders it in-
conspicuous. The 'nutritious albumen
of the seed is often fortified by such im-
penetrable shells as those of‘ the cocoa-
nut and others. Perhaps there is a for-
.midable armament of prickles, as in the
chestnut, or stinging hairs, as is the case
with some pods. '
Characteristic of immature fruits are
disagreeable taste and consistence.
Compare an unripe peach, sour and
stringy, with the same fruit in its lus-
cious maturity. But all these contriv-
ances fail to repel certain enemies of
growing fruits. The apple,?s inconspic-
uousness, toughnessand sourness are of
little avail against the young. progeny of

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30.——'1‘be Philadel-
phia Press today publishes the following
. remarkable story, signed -by “Holland,” its
spatial NewXOFk correspondent, concern
_ lug President Cleveland’s health: - - '
‘It is useless longer to conceal the fact
. that Mr. Cleveland is: a sick man, perhaps
a very sick man, and that the physicians
have fear that mortal disease is lurking in-
' his system, nOtwithstanding‘: gheroic efiorts
of surgery to remove it during the Summer.
Secretary Lamont, who was here last week
and whose anxiety was impressive and piti-
ful for his friends to see, said, with sadness
in his voice, to Colonel Monroe, “The pres-
dent is a sick. man, how sick we cannot

fidelity what the physicians saw and what
they feared; it may be enough .to say that
at the present time-there is hope that the
marvels Of surgeryhave been sufficient to
meet and master the trouble, 'Whatever it
maybe. ' , 'g ._ "
The Mental Strain. - .j '
. When Mr. Cleveland again beCame presi-‘
silent last March, he seemed tO.-be in the
best of health, although 'it-was "plain to
him that'he had less visit», a diminished
power Of maintaining sustained efforts and
bearing with prolonged fatigue than was
the case“,when he first, in the prime of his
States. , - .
He seemed to bear the strain, however,

cession to power by conditions. which finst
threatened and then produced ruin to many
interests, financial distress, the gravest}
danger to the banking system, money fam—
ine and a partial paralysis of trade.
It may be that this mental strain devel-
oped, if it 'did not create, that disease with
which the physicians have been contend-
ing. The doctors do not know it. They
know only what they have seen and what
their instruments have done. It was said
of General Grant that there followed as a
consequence of the awful strain to which
'he had been submitted after the dishonor-
able revelations of Ferdinand Ward’s bUSiv
ness career that trouble which a few
months after caused the nation to mourn.
The Disease Shows Itself. I
It was in the late spring that Mr. Cleve-
land began to be tormented by pain which
seemed to proceed from a tooth. He en-
dured it like a hero. Many times when
congressmen and Others were consulting
with him his face was racked with pain,
while the struggle to endure it without sug-
gesting emotion caused him to appear to
them indifferent, phlegmatic and unim-
pressed by the gravity of the political situ-
ation. The president endured as only a
hero can. The pain cOst him “sleep and
doubtless did much so to lower his vitality
as to develop the rheumatic trouble which
has always lurked in his system. _ ,
He concealed his suffering from his fam
ily, and it isprobable that no one except.
physical torture as wellas mental anxiety
local and usualtreatment. When the first
careful examination was made or when the
suspicion» was created that this trouble was
due to no exposure of a dental nerve or to
any usual disease of the teeth, my inform:
ants do not know; they do know that there
sued his call for the extraordinary session
of congress, when it was determined that
an Operation was inevitable, how grave'or,
extensive could not at first be determined.
It is probable that the. decision to per-
form the operation while the president was,
eral reasons—one perhaps that the family,
being in ignorance, might not be. over-
whelmed by anxiety and suspense. An-
other, that if the operation was performed
with surgical success the COuntry might
not be alarmed, since it was only too well ,
understood that the ablest business men of
both parties looked with confidence upon
Mr. Cleveland, rather than his party, and
contemplated any contingency by which -.
the succession ' would revert to another
with utmost anxiety. 2 .
Mr. Cleveland, with Mr. Lamont,- ileft
Washington quite suddenly upon the day ,_
when the call for the extraOrdinary session
of congress was issued. Arrangements
were made in this city with celerity, and
Mr. Cleveland was met when hearrived
here by Dr. Bryant and another physician,
and by Dr. Hasbrouck, all of whom board-
ed the yacht with him. The baggage of
these physicians contained the instruments
of surgery and the apparatus for antes-
thetic administration.
. The Operation. .
. Dr. Hasbrouck had this latter apparatus
in charge. He is a physician here who is
regarded as perhaps the most expert in the
city in the administration of auaasthetic
gas. He is employed professionally by
most of the ablest surgeons when it is
deemed advisable to use 'gas rather than
other. Dr. Hasbrouck had been informed
that the operation which called for his pro-
fessional services mightbe aprolonged one,
therefore it might be necessary fer him to
be absent from the city for several days.
It is a condition obligatory in the reporting
of this matter that the name of the physi-
cian who accompanied Dr. Bryant should
not—be'published. ’ ’
