Saturday afternoon. relapsed into leVer
within an hour, and died with black
yomit at 9 O'Clock. Many OF the best
doctors in the city now are refusing TO
visit new cases, having their powers al
ready tried to the utmost.
MEMPHIS, Aug. 29.-The terrible
scourge is increasing every moment.
There is hardly a house in the city, not
entirely vacant, but has one or more
persons down with the disease or lying
dead awaiting burial The increase OF
the malady among the negro population
to-day is frightful, while it does not
seem to relinquiSh its hold upon the
white people. Every hour in the day
new victims are reported, and physi-
clans 90 from house to house on the run,
The County Jail, which, in 1873, was IN
the heart of the infected district, yet had
not a single case then, now reports sew
en- cases. The prisoners, numbering
near hundred, are now being removed
to the Forest Prison farm, on PreSi-
dents Island, where they will be kept
under strong guard. The atmosphere
is thick with the pestilential poison, and
as the disease increases its numbers OF
victims there is a corresponding increase
of alarm among the we'll ones who have
thus far escaped, and large numbers are
moving out into the country, some pre-
ferring even to take up their abode in
freight cars on the lines of railways
rather than risk their lives in this
scourged city. Father Walsh, of St.
Bridget's Catholic Church, died this
morning. Ed. j. Mansford, one of the
Howard visitors, is down this morning.
His associate, Mr.. Rheard, fell yester-
day. This makes five Howards that
have fallen in that one district. The
rainy, damp weather that set in at noon
to-day will undoubtedly increase the
terror Of the disease, and fearful results
are expected the next few days.
MEMPHIS, Aug. 90.-Physicians from
other cities continue to arrive and have
gone to work in good earnest. Nurses
also from Mobile, Shreveport, Charles
ton and other points have reported to
the Howard and other relief associations
and are being assigned to duty. Appli-
cations for medical attention and nurses
however are on file which can not be
filed until more arrive. "Found dead
in house, has become a common re-
port from the visiting nurses. A sad
case of this character is that of DR.. X.
?. Watson. He had worked like Tro-
jan since the fever broke out is physi-
clan and nurse, but finally was missed,
no one knowing what had become of
him. Yesterday a visitor went to his
temporary quarters, his family having
been sent out of the city, found the door
locked, knocked it open and found the
dead body with all the symptoms of
having died of yellow fever. 1t could
not be ascertained how long he had
been dead. DR.. Watson was one of the
most active physicians in the epidemic
of 1873.

Queen FietOria's Income.

! In the debate in the House of Lords
last week Sir Charles Dixie said that the
income of the Queen was 5000, Or
about 81, 1926 900 per annum, but that
she did not spend one-half of it, not
withstanding the act Of Parliament
specially stated that 9325,00O of th;
sum "was to be spent in maintaining
the state which pertains to the sovereign
OF Great Britain" "What does she do
with it?" is question which is being
asked in private circles and is beginning
to be discussed in the newspapers A
writer in the MaWajr, a paper which is
supported by the best of English socle
ty, discusses this subject, and says that
"for sixteen years the English nation
has faithfully performed its part of the
contract in allowing her Majesty, as the
head of the State, 8 magnificent income,
and people of an arithmetical turn Of
mind want to know what has become Of
these vast successive annual payments
Beyond an occasional drawing-room re,
ception, state ball, a concert now and
then, Queen Victoria spends nothing in
state display. This is well known and
extensively discussed fact. Even these
expenditures were suspended during her
long retiracy, but her income was regl,
larly drawn from the Treasury, and
large sums called for to endow her nu'
merous children so soon as they reach
the age of maturity or marry. the
writer in the Magtair concludes with
the remark that this grasping and Pc
nuriouAess of the Queen "tcndS to
bring the crown into contempt" This
is very plain language, and will some
day leaf to trouble.-LOnd0n Letter 70
