DIR. Stanford =. Chaille, ofNew Orleans,
who has handled yellow fever through
every epidemic since 1858, says the privy
system of Havana has more to do with
p~ropagating yellow fever than any other
cause. The doctor is good authority, be-
ing a sensible, reasonable and an expert
enced man of medicine.
Certain folks are now trying to make
out that flies, mosquitoes, bedbugs, ieas
and atlectionate dogs convey the yellow
fever infection from one person to another,
and thus distribute it through the land.
There is, doubtless, as much method in
this theory as there is, that cattle and tele-
phones have it.
To see an official full up to the neck,
with his bloated face us red as a turkey
gobbler's top-knot, is no very encouraging
prospect Tor a subordinate who may be
called upon to obey orders in an emor-
gency, One of the worst and most de-
moralizing features of the last great war
was that of being compelled TO go into
action under drunken officers.
An upper Main street soda man feels
hurt because folks complain of bitter soda
water found at various fountains. He
claims to use only pure bi-carbonate of
soda, which Is not bitter like old marble
dust and other deleterious ingredients, and
it costs more beside. 1t is a fact, never
theless, that the soda sold at several prom
inent places is so bitter that various per-
have quit drinking.
A petition is in circulation addressed to
Postmaster General Key urging him to
the mail contractors to deliver a
daily mail here from the North. Over
people want mail and every person
able to read except the contractors, will
sign the petition. The post officials here
are negotiating with the railway company
with a view to the regular delivery of a
dailyimail and their prospects favor sue

AXE consolation and receive additional

of y Southern city who served
through every yellow fever epidemic since

These Ceasecsious.

The endeavor last night to force
connection between tho North Con.
Virginia shaft and the upraise from the
100 level Of the Sierra Nevada was
partially successful. It Is desirable.
however, that the connection between
the north and south drifts on the 1900
level Of the latter mine should DO made
ut the same time, that the air currents
may settle permanently. This has been
the constant intention and endeavor OF
Superintendent Mckenzie. Therefore
when this connection was made last
night (merely q drill hole, } the distance
left was 0 feet 4 inches. This will DO
blown out as soon as the connection
above referred to Is ready to be made.
The upraise Is 81 feet from the drift ON
the 100 level and the shaft down l35
feet below the 1000 level Of the Union
Consolidated mine. These connections
made and the ventilation OF the Sierra
Nevada will be materially bettvred. It
is 5G5 feet from the north crosscut,
1900 level. to the east shaft. This will
now be timbered.
