pee from New Orleans to avoid our quar-
antine restrictions. To say the least of
it the attempt to sn,uggle them into town
points directly to the truth of the allega-
ton.
Mr.. A. Mann, business manager and
representative of his brother Moses Mann,
was promptly arrested and fined S25 for a
willful violation of the quarantine regu-
lations Of Bayou Sara. He showed some
signs of resistance to the imposed fine at
first, but finally settled up. Pity the fine
could not have reached $25,OOO. There is
no standard by which to measure the
sordidness which would prompt man in
times like these, with Il dread disease
staring us in the face, for the sake of a
few paltry dollars, thus to endanger the
introduction Of the pestiience i'll our
midst. Such acts should be promptly
condemned and amply punished.

ccivcd quite an addition in the way of Il

nor take fuel from the bank hence the
necessity Of disseminating her trips alto

The active measures taken by tho

are worthy of the highest commentator,
and they should be heartily co.operated
