Lateness of Season an Aid
.to the Authorities.
Washington, Sept. 9.—T‘he outbreak of
yellow fever at Ocean Springs, Miss.,
has come ‘with a shock to the marine
hospital service, which was congratu-
iating Itself that this year was some by
without any disturbance of that sort.
Leaves of absence have been granted
right and left to the surgeons and sub-
‘ordina'tes, owing to the apparent pas-
sage of the period of danger, and a num—
ber of these have had to be revoked
suddenly. The hopes of the service have
not been ill founded. In former years,
when any serious epidemic has occur-
red. the first outbreak has aleays been
earlier than this by six weeks or more.
In 1847 the date of the first appearance
of the fever was the 23d of July. That
was the latest on record. In 1853 it be-
gan as early as May 3. In 1817, 1855,
1868 and 1867 it began in June. The fact
that the scourge has postponed its ap-
pearance this year till September has
deceived those who were watching for
it, but, on the other hand, it holds forth
a better hope that it may be stamped
out promptly. Early frosts are among
the things to be expected in view of the
peculiarities of the season thus far, and
although the recurrence of epidemics
in successive years has not been un-
known, and has given rise to the feel-
ing that frost does not kill the germs of
the disease, there is no doubt that a
sharp, cold snap, followed by a period
of cool weather, would put it under con-
trol for this year at least.
F A Careful Patrol Maintained.
L - ,h, t'h: ear-w. «-
The m rine hospital service has kept
up a pretty careful patrol of the gulf
coast from the Florida peninsula west-
ward, with the purpose of keeping off
refugees from Cuba who might seek a
landing from their small craft and bring
the fever with them. These precautions
seem to have been effectual so far as
Cuba was concerned, but the suspicion
now is that the fever has found its way
into this country from Guatemala.
As the present seat of trouble seems
to be Ocean Springs, it will be the pol-
icy of the marine hospital service to
prevent the spread of the epidemic
3.91“ that point so far as practicable.
'Although this is a watering place and
is’within‘the state of Mississippi and
subject primarily to the sanitary laws
of the state, the federal law gives the
United States authorities jurisdiction
of! an epidemic at the point where it
threatens to cross state lines. Thus
far, apparently, the local authogities,
although willing to con‘sult local au-
thorities of .neighboring states, have
not shown any great eagerness for in-
terference from Washington. This is
usually the case, however, in such
emergencies, and it is necessary to wait
for the pressure of public opinion, at a
later stage, to wipe out any remnant of
narrow feeling, or at least any display of.
it. The bureau here has ordered three
surgeons to the field, one of whom, Dr.
W'asdin, was on the ground almost at
the start. Dr. Carter and Dr..Murry
will share with him the responsibility
for preventing the spread of the fever.
Dr. Guiteras will be on the spot by to-
morrow. ..
Dr. Guiteras is eminent for his diag-
nosis of yellow fever, and Drs. Carter
and Murry have had successful expe-
rience in managing detention camps for
fugities from previous epidemics.
Railroads‘ Precautions.
The railroad companies operating in
the neighborhood of the infected dis-
trict have been warned not to sell tick-
ets to any one wishing to leave the
trains south of the latitude of VVasl-i-
.ington... In‘ case a passenger insists
upon stopping at any more southerly
point the company’s agents are re-
quested to make a note of his desti-
nation and report it at once to the local
authorities of that town. In previous
epidemics the railroad companies have
always proved faithful allies of the
government in the enforcement of san-
itary regulations, and it is likely that
the panic of fear which will promptly
spread through the south will cause the
people of towns along lines of railway
communicating with the fever centers
to prevent suspected travelers from
landing among them.
The consideration which most worries
the officers of the marine hospital serv-
ice just now is as to how many infected
persons may have left Ocean Springs
and carried the disease with them into
other quarters. The summer population
of the place is of the usual character
found at a fashionable resort. The peo-
ple who assemble there are careful
enough of themselves to get away at the
first hint of trouble, and they have the
means to go and come without standing
on ceremony. Undoubtedly, when the
suspicious appearing fever broke out
there some time ago, which carried off
about a dozen of the 600 patients who
were stricken. a good many of the more
cautious Visitors fled. No note was taken
of their destinations, so that it will be
impossible to trace the results of their
flight. The particular disease which
frightened them off, however, is prob-
ably not yellow fever. It has more the
characteristics of dengue fever, which is
so rarely fatal that it is not much'feared
by southern sanitarians.
In spite of the threatening outlook the
officers of the marine hospital service
are not satisfied yet that they have any
serious outbreak of yellow fever on their
hands. There is still a fair'chance that
they may stamp out the disease by
prompt action with the few cases which
have thus far appeared.
The Fever at Biloxi.
New Orleans, Sept. 9.——A dispatch
from Biloxi says that the three cases
reported last night are the only ones
that have so“‘far developed at or around
Biloxi. The people there are quiet and
the outlook is for no excitement.
The Stanford Estate.
San Francisco, Sept. 9.—Mrs. Jane
Stanford, executrix of the estate of
Senator Stanford, has applied to Judge
Coffee for an order approving her re-
cent action in discharging several lega-

of property. ~ - ‘

THEY WILL BOLT.
The People of. the IIorwalks are
VIIaIIy lnIeresIed
One Case, and There are
Others.
There is a large body of bolters in
the Norwalks and vicinity.
The movement has been gaining
force for some time and has become so
powerful that those interested are anx-
ious to declare themselves. They are
bolting ancient and useless methods of
treating catarrh and hay fever, and
they have come over in full force for
California Catarrh Cure because they
have tried it and know its worth. Here
are the words from a. Norwalk man
who has tried many medicines and
treatments before he got what he
wanted ‘Ialifornia Catarrh Cure the
greatest and only known cure for ca-
tarrh.
Mr. Alfred Platt, 9Maple street,N0r-
walk, says: “ I have been a great surfer-
er from catarrh for over thirty years,
having contracted the disease during
the war. My whole head seemed full of
scabs, and the discharge from thenose
and into the throat wassomething awful.
My head ached almost continually, and
I never got a good night’s sleep. I pro-
cured a bottle of California Catarrh
Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, South
Norwulk. It has given me more relief
than I have had for years; my head is
very much improved and I can now
sleep all night. It is certainly a great
reliever, and I am glad to recommend
it. Nothing among all the things I tried
before helped me one quarter as much
in months, as C. C. C. has in a few
weeks. "
You don’t have to wait to find out if
it will help you for it relieves at once.
To avoid Hay Fever in its season. use
L‘. C. C. It is a sure reliever of this
and all mucous diseases. Use it to
break up your colds, and to prevent
colds “hanging on." Price, 50 cents;
three times as much for one dollar.
Antispiriiufflists In Session.
Anderson. Ind., Sept. 9.———The first na-
tional conference of antispiritualists be- ,
gan here. Almost every section of the
country is represented by leading anti-

the new association to condemn spirit-
ualists, but to fight the mediums.

‘WHAT DO THE CHILDREN DRINK"
Don’t give them tea or coffee. Have
you tried the new food drink called
Grain-O? It is delicious and nourish-
ing and takes the place of coffee. The
more Grain-O you give the children
the more health you distribute through
their systems. Grain-O is made of pure
grains. and when properly prepared
tastes like the choice grades of coffee
but costs about 3} as much. All grocers
sell it. 150. and 25c.
