reported to the Board of Health this
afternoon. Four deaths from yellow feyer
have been reported by the undertakers-
Ada Hick (colored), Eastou Obey (col,
oredl, Bridget Twomey aud John Twomey
the two last named have never been re-
ported to the Board of Health as having
the yellow lever: neither did the burial
certificate have the signature of the at
tending physician, but as both died within
two hours of each other, and they had the
black vomit just previous to dissolution, it
was presumed by the undertaken that they
had died of yellow fever. A colored man,
named O. Niggin, also died to-day, Flo
had no physician and the members Of the
Howard Association, whose attention was
called to the death, had him buried and
signed the certificate. The yellow fever
board of health, however, refused to rec
ognze the signature, and classed the death
as unknown.
About fifty people went down to the
camp this afternoon. The weather has
greatly interfered with the removal of the
poor. The camp has been named Camp
Marks, in honor of the Governor.

additional nurses to duty. An aged negro,

Success. .

Continued success 10 any ayacation in
life always depends on individual applica-

may be created by flaming posters, long
winded adver isements, and manufactured

found to possess no real merit, then it
quickly dies. Not so with Our LIGHT.

ILLINOIS,

SPRINGFIELD, July 29.-Governor Gu
lom recently requested Attorney General
EdsalI to prepare anI opinion upon the
questions raised in regard to the appro
priation made for the completion of the
Chester Penitentiary. 1t will be remem-
bered that at the close of the recent legis~
lative session through clerical error two
bills for the same purpose were enrolled
and approved, the first OF which contained
two emergency clauses. although the bill
was passed without it. When this mis-
take was discovered the bill was correctly
enrolled aud again signed by the presiding
officers of both Houses and the Governor,
The Attorney General in az elaborate
opinion, after ree!tiug the facts and the
questions involved, says one OF two alter
natives may be safely affirmed, viz: Either
the signing and approval of the erroneous
| ly enrolled copy of the bill presented to
the Governor on the 29th day of May was
VOID only as to the section improperly in-
serted therein and valid in all other re-
spects. or else that the enrolment. sigma.
ture and approval of the bill were wholly
void. Upon the first hypothesis no further
enrolment or presentatlon of the bill to
the Governor for approval was necessary
for 1t had already become valid Law, a;
to the provisions aetssll7 passed By tht
two Houaea of the Legislature. He ther
lconsiders the other hypothesis, hoIdinl
that it was the imperative duty of tht
lSpeakers of the two Houses to sign tn,
bill which actually passed, and it was il
their power and their duty to correct the
mistake. The opinion concludes as fol
lows: If the first approval was ineffectua
by reason of errors in the eDrollmeat, tn
second cured the asseoi. 1t is immateria
: how many enrolled copies of this bill wer
made, there is but one Law aDd one act il
force, inasmuoh as the legislative journal
show that but one act Of that title wa
' passed, the necessary conclusion is that tn
act in question became valid law an
. took effect on the first day of July mex
after the passage, and that the sectio
= containing the emergency clause, error
eousy 10 the first enrolment, cons titute
no part of the Law.
