differing from it In many points. The sixth district

black, s; adults, 55; children under
~ yeanA s5 natives, 76; foreigners ~ 80;
most malignant type and successful invasion OF ad-
joining premises at the corner of Gen. Taylor
and St. Charles streets, and here was, besides, an
instance where the untirng efforts towards the ex-
termination of fever germs by the use OF carbo!ic
acids and sulphur funigation failed most signally
