"I YELLOW, ml WINES
GOLD WEATHER THE ALLY.
Ilo Additional Cases Reported—A Phy-
sician Scores the Board of Health.
Precautions Adopted Elsewhere.
Prospect of Belief.
New Orleans, Sept. 22.—Notwithstand-
mg the appearance of 18 new cases yes-
terday, it is believed that the yellow
fever situation here is improved today
by the materially lower temperature,
the thermometer at 6 being 62.
nation of yellow fever germs requires a
sustained temperature Of 70 degrees F.,
and if the present cool weather con—
:inues conditions promise to grow stead-
‘Ily better. Of the cases reported yester-
day at least nine were properly to be
accredited to Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, and only one of these cases
Was of anything but a mild type, the
exception being an unacclimated stran-
ger. There have been no new cases re-
‘ported today.
Dr. Touatre, an eminent and experi—
enced yellow fever physician and a
member of the board of experts, says
In an interview that the records since
[853 show‘that yellow fever has never
been declared epidemic in any year after
Its appearance here inside of two or
three months. That was the case in
[853, 1858, 1867 and 1878. The history of
the epidemics of the last half century
prove that all epidemics waned with
the first cold of October, disappearing
. almost entirely in November. If a
month and a half more is added to the
period of incubation the end of October
is reached. To have an. epidemic at
that late date is out of the question.
Dr. Touatre recalls a number of in-
stances where fever broke out in Au—
gust, September and October, only to be
quickly stamped out by the frost before
It had assumed the proportions of an
epidemic.
Dr. Holt Is Angry.
The principal topic of interest today is
the letter of Dr. Holt, replying to the
criticism that he had not promptly re-
ported his nine cases to the board of
health and his fierce criticism of the ac-
tion of the board of health in failing to
quarantine Ocean Springs early enough
to have prevented the-arrival here of a
large number of people with their bag-
gage from the infected points on the
coast, causing the introduction of the
fever in this city. The next session Of
the board of health, when Dr. Holt will
be arraigned, together with two other
physicians, who are alleged to have vio-
lated the city and board of health laws,
promises to be among the most spicy
sessions ever held by that body. The
government put in effect this morning
its baggage inspection at trains and
steamboats. It will require at least five
hours each day in which to do this work
Of inspection.
Chicago Not Alarmed.
Chicago, Sept. 22.——The report that
two cases of yellow fever have been dis-
covered at Cairo, 1115., has not alarmed
the Chicago health officers. Health
Commissioner Reynolds doubts that the
cases are yellow fever and believes they
are malaria or breakbone‘ fever. In dis-
cussing the situation Dr. Reynolds said
-today: “There is absolutely no cause for
alarm in Chicago, and we should wel-
come refugees from the infected dis-
trict. Even if the disease should be im-
ported into Chicago it could not spread.
Our climate would act as a barrier
against the contagion, and it would dis-
appear as quickly as it came. Two phy-
sicians who saw the patients at Cairo
pronounce the disease malaria. Anoth-
er physician diagnosed the disease as
yellow feyer. I am inclined to believe
the disease is not genuine yellow fever.”
General Superintendent Sullivan of
the Illinois Central railroad said the
prevalence of. yellow fever in the south
necessitated no change in through serv-
ice except so far as compliance with
quarantine and Illinois board of health
requirements. For the protection of the
state Dr. J. A. Eagan, the board’s ex-
ecutive Officer, has issued orders that
no passengers or railroad employees
from the infected states shall be per-
mitted to leave trains at any point in
Illinois south of the line made by the
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern rail-
road from Vincenfi’es, Ind., to East St.
Louis. North of the barrier passengers
with clean bills of health signed by the
proper authorities may be admitted.
Freight Taken Subject to Delay.
Kansas City, Sept. 22.—Kansas City
railroads having outlets at gulf ports
are notifying shippers that freight for
gulf points will be accepted subject to
delay only. This is due to the yellow ‘
fever quarantine which is now being
rigidly enforced, freight as well as pas-
senger trains being subject to the rule.
There is every indication that the big
grai crop of the southwest, which had
beg n to move in large quantities to
the gulf ports, will be driven back to
the Atlantic ports, from which it had
been largely diverted by the activity
of the gulf lines.
Health Certificates For 'Conductors.
New York, Sept.'22.——In compliance
with the request of the\ Pennsylvania.
Railroad company, Health Inspector
Benjamin of Jersey City today fur-
nished health certificates to conductors
of trains that are to pass through the
state of Alabama. The railroad is re-
quired by'Alabama to have all con-
ductors examined and certified before
they leave the north in order to pass
through that state. The theory of the
Alabama authorities is that conductors
. may catch the yellow fever in Missis-
sippi and Louisiana and bring it into
Alabama on their return trips.
When the trains cross the boundary
line from Mississippi into Alabama, men
Incu-
lfalo. :
with shotguns are stationed on the '
platform of every passenger coach'and
Pullman car. Nobody is allowed to
. leave the cars or step off the platform
without the consent of the health
authorities at the station.
Precautions at Spanish Ports.
'Madrid, Sept. 22.——The queen regent
has ordered that. special surveillance
be exercised at the Spanish ports on all
arrivals from' United States ports, in
consequence of the outbreak of yellow
.gtever in some of the southern states.
I
moms QUEER CONDUCT.
[t Frightened 01mm. and Hereaft'or a
Safety Razor Will Shave Him.
Long Island City, N. Y., Sept. 22.—A
safety razor will be employed to shave
Martin Thorn hereafter.
The authorities at the Queens County
jail believe that Thorn contemplated
suicide as a last resort while 5. trusty
keeper was shaving him with a plain
razor. This belief arose from a
strange, creepy gesture Thorn made.
Patrick Hogan shaves Thorn. Today
he was shaving Thorn, who was very
nervous. He had so much difficulty in
keeping still that he narrowly escaped
being cut several times.’
Hogan was wiping the razor when
Thorn, after a second’s deep thought,
sprang to his feet. He drew his finger
around his throat from ear to ear and
made a strange sound—half whistle,
half croak—the noise of a dying man
with throat cut from ear to ear. His
eyes said plainly:
“That’s the way. to get out of this
trouble."
The authorities feared that Thorn
might snatch the razor from Hogan and
attempt to kill himself.
“ SECTION 22. ”
The Attorney General Holds That the
”incriminating Clause Does
Not. Discriminate.
Washington, Sept. 22.—Attorney Gen-
eral McKenna today announced his
opinion in the matter of section 22 Of
the new tariff law. He holds in effect
that goods coming directly into the
United States from foreign countries
through Canadian ports are not subject
to the discriminating duty of 10 per'
cent. He also holds that foreign goods
shipped from countries other than Brit-
ish possessions in British vessels are
not subject to the discriminating duty.
Two questions were asked the attor-
ney general, the first of which was, in
effect, whether the discriminating duty
of 10 per cent provided for in section 22
should be assessed against an invoice
of tea from China which had arrived
at Vancouver in British vessels and was
thence shipped through Canada to Chi-
cago. The second question was wheth-
er the discriminating duty should be
assessed against a cargo of manganese
ore from Chile which recently arrived
in a British ship at Philadelphia; Both
these questions the attorney general
answers in the negative.
Dr. Everett to Be a Candidate.
Boston, Sept. 22.—Secretary John C.
Lane of the National Democratic state
committee has notified the preSs that
Dr. William Everett of Quincy had con-
sented to be the gold Democrats’ can-
didate for governor during the com-
ing campaign. The state convention of
the party will meet in this city on
Sept. 30, when the Quincy statesman
will be formally placed in nomination.
Railroad \Vreck In Kansas.

land passenger train No. 23, west bound,

train collided head on west Of Muncie.
No one was killed, Engineer Scaarf of
the stock train and Engineer Goodall
of the Rock Island train were seriously

Newport, R. 1., Sept. 22.—The 'su-
preme court today decided that-Mrs.
Eugenia Webster Ross, the claimant of
the estate of the late millionaire, VVi1~
liam H. King, was in contempt of

F., Lippman’s Great Remedy, Saves
a Man From Bechming a Cripple.
r. Asa Ammons, a well-known
en of Jacksonville, Florida, was
:ted by a terrible ulcer. Medical
seemed unavailing in stopping the
ges of the terrible disease. The
was swollen and intensely painful,
the ulcer had eaten its way down
0 the very bone. All medicines and
.rcatmcnts having failed to effect. a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come off. Just when it seemed that.
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a. crippled man, he tried P. P. P.,
Lippman’s Great Remedy, and the re-
sult. was wonderful. \ .
P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG.
“ Jacksonville, Fla, July 1, 1895.—
Two years ago I had the worst. ulcer
on my leg I ever saw.‘ It had eaten
down to the bone, andamy whole leg
below my knee, and my foot _ was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come oif. At.
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot. castile
soap suds. It began to improve at.
once and healed rapidly, and is tO-dav
a sound and useful leg.
“I think P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, is all a man could ask for as
a blood purifier. as I have known it. to
cure so inc-terrible cases of blood poi-
soning in a remarkably short. time.
“ASA AMMONS.”
TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON.
The body covered with sores-~two
bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and
permanent cure. This is only one Of
many thousand similar cases.
Catarrli yields at once to P. P. P.
That smothered feeling at. night, that
heavy feeling in the day—can and
should be removed; P. P. P. will do it
if you only give it a chance.
indigestion and constipation go hand
in hand. Headaches and total loss of
appetite are the results. Regulate
yourself and tone up your stomach
with P. P. P.
