Mr.. 4. d. Mansfield Of Ohio writes Of
the ravages Of yellow fever in Northern
cities:
My grandmother and uncle died Of
yellow fever in 1874, in New Haven
Conn., My mother had it. Ny father
remained in Philadelphia during its
mortal prevalence in 1913. and visited
New York in 1922, when II prevailed
there. There Is no mention Of the yell
low fever previous to the middle of the
seventeenth century-say 1650-and one
Of the most remarkable instances OF It's
appearance was In the city Of Philadel-
phia, now (and possibly them the clean
est city In the United States.
In 1859 William Penn returned from
England to his Pennsylvania colony in
December. He found 1t had been raw
aged by the yellow fever, which is thus
mentioned In Holiness annals: "A
mortal disease, called the yellow fever,
had swept away great Numbers Of peo-
pie just before his arrival - To under
stand how It may prevail in Northern
cities. take the case of Philadelphia. 1t
has appeared there several times, and in
two remarkable years with great NOR
tslity. In 1898 no less than $500 per-
sons died In Philadelphia from yellow
fever.
In 1898, 3.6l5 persons died Of this
disease. Philadelphia, in 179S-9s, had
about $4,000 inhabitants, 50 that about
one in fifteen Of the inhabitants died in
less than three months
Yellow fever has been there at other
times, but very seldom in the present
century. It mas visited New York twen-
ty two times, but never 90 fatally as in
Philadelphia. In 1872, when was
there . day or two, the three lower
wards were boarded of and the fence
was marked: "The Injected District"
1t had begun at the footof Rector Street,
and never got into the upper part OF the
city, but within the infected district il
was quite fatal.
It visited New Haven, Conn, as I
have said, in 1874. The mortality was
not great, but the town was small.
Yellow fever ard scarlet fever have pre-
vailed together, and the deaths in both
we're about one In eighteen The cases
l have mentioned, and some ofthemat-
tended with extreme mortality, show
that the cities Of the north are not ex-
empt from IL, even in It's most maligant
form.

The Prince Imperial rode into dan
ger, il IL said, like . thorough French
cavalier, with laughter in his eyes and .
Jest upon his tongue, and he died with
the name Of his country among his last
recorded words. He left England, too,
in the most buoyant and sangnine spir-
Its, telling his friends that he would see
them in the course Of the year, when he
hoped to have been able to show that he
was good soldier. Able Goddard Of
Chiselhurst says that the Prince, no
matter how busily occupied, never for
got his religious duties.
