The Yellow Fever.

No deaths from yellow fever during
the past twenty-four hours Is the welcome
report which comes from Memphis, mod
fled by statement sent late last even
ing that one Of the victims to the dread
disease had succombed. That the death
rate should be small is natural, for there
are but few to die. Memphis has now,
as the National Board OF Health reports,
population of sixteen thousand persons
only, of whom two-thirds are colored
people. Ten thousand out of the whole
number have actually had the yellow fe-
yer aud inasmpch as negroes are much
less likely to take the fever than whites
IL is probable that the six thousand per-
sons there who have not had the fever
are In great degree persons OF African
race. There are, perhaps, not more than
a thousand or fifteen hundred white per-
sons in the place who have not had the
fever. Consequently 1t is impossible for
the fever to sweep down this year such
throngs as fell victims to it before, be-
cause the people are not within its reach.
There Is reason to congratulate the coun-
try upon this advantage; but there are
facts In the news which show that the
general "disestablishment" of society
and business thus brought about will no.
be neglected by the lawless. 1t will be
fortunate if the precautions taken by the
authorities prevent revel of plunder
and murder in the plague ridden city
and keep the hand of the incendiary
idle.

A DUEL OVER THE BREAKFAST
TABLE CONCERNING A d.
VOREE SHIT

CINCINNATI, July SO.-A duel with
revolvers between two brothers, at
breakfast table, occurred nine miles
from Columbus, Indiana, this morning.
Both men were killed. They were
Henry and Alexander COveat, and were
living with their father. Henry had
been married, but had separated from his
wife some time ago. He was in Column
bus yesterday on business connected
with the divorce. A compromise was
reached and it was settled that his wife
should 60 back to live with him tempo
rarily. However, she went back to her
fathers and he returned home this
morning. At the breakfast table the
two brothers sat on opposite sides. The
subject of the compromise came up in
conversation, when Alexander denounc-
ed Henry's wife. At that Henry drew a
revolver. His brother drew another,
and both fired at the same time across
the table. Both shots took effect. One
of the brothers died in forty minutes
and the other fingered till afternoon,
when he also died.

General Donald Mcleod, the centen-
arian who recently died in Cleveland,
Ohio, was born at Aberdeen, Scotland,
on the LIST of January, 1910. At the
University he knew Lord Byron, who
was then lad of ten in the preparatory
department. He enlisted in the 42d
Highlanders, and was in the battles Of
the Peninsular campaign. He was one
of the mourners at the famous burial Of
Sir John Moore. In the war Of 1912 he
fought at Lundy's Lane, and when his
regiment was recalled to England, he
went back to serve with distinction at
Waterloo. In the Canadian rebellion of
1887 he bore a conspicuous part, PLAN

The Best Yellow Fever Dlslniect.
ant.


JUST now there is a good deal of in
quiry as to the best disinfectants for de-
stroying the germs of yellow fever. The
National Board of Health is investigating
the subject, a although it has not yet
arrived at any fixed conclusions, it has
thrown out some hints which seem to be
founded in good common sense. In the
first place the Board assures us that as q
preventive no disinfectant will compare
with cleanliness. Wherever there Is filth
it should be removed, and the principal
service performed by disinfectants while
the cleansing process Is going on Is the
suppression of unpleasant and noxious
odors. The best disinfectants for this
purpose are sulphate of iron (copperas),
carbolic acid, fresh quicklime, charcoal,
chloride of zinc, chleride Of aluminium
and permangate of potash. Patent "puri-
fiers" are of no account except as they
contain the ordinary disinfectants men-
toned above. As for disinfecting arti-
cles which are supposed to contain yel-
low fever germs, the Board Is OF the
opinion that no gaseous purifier and
nothing short of thorough boiling or a
dry heat of 250 degrees Farenheit will
do any good. 1t occurs to us that where
temperature of 250 degrees is required
it would be better to throw the goods in
to the furnace and burn them up at once.
The safest way would be to burn all in
fected clothing, and when the poor are
the sufferers, let them be reimbursed
either by the municipal authorities or
the organized charities. 1t would be
better to deal in this summary manner
with infected articles, and pay the cost,
than to permit the contagion to spread.

DEFICIENCY IN THE COINAGE.

WASHINGTON, July 20,-The coinage
Of the standard silver dollar will this
month fall between $500, 900 and $780,
600 short of the minimum amount fixed
by law, viz: two millions monthly,
The deficiency will be due to the fact
that on the LIST of Ju'y the stock of sil-
yer bullion at the San Francisco and
Carson mints had been so much reduced
that there was nothing to commence
work upon. Since then 1t has been inn
possible to procure bullion for, those
mints. Up to the S0th of June work
was pushed forward continually at the
Philadelphia and New Orleans inints, 40
as to run the coinage up to the 81, coo, 900
required for that month. The mint st
Philadelphia will be run night and day
during the month of August to make up
the deficiency. - 5 N-f
