PORTLAND, Me-, Sept 6.-Gen. Neal Dow
said to reporter Friday, that Mr.. Blaine in
his Dover speech, as in every other delivered
by him during the present campaign, missed
entirely the points made by the Prohibition

not as to the latter's doings in the past, but
as to what they refuse to do now. For. the
past twenty-four years no progress has been
made in extinguishing the liquor traffic in
Maine Republican legislatures refuse to
make it effective The keepers of Portlands

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 9.-The war be-

ease at Biloxi was yellow fever or not,
RACES as warmly as ever, althongh-the
sickness has disappeared. DR.. Holt,
president of the Louisiana Board OF
Health, one of the experts who pro-
nounced It yellow fever, made q long
speech before the Board, in which be Sc
verely handles the physicians of the OPP
position. He gave complete diagnosis
of the case, declaring that the two sick
persons, who had died of the fever, had
died with black vomit, and that their
bodies turned yellow and presented other
evidence that confirms the yellow lever
theory. He declared that Biloxi
physicians had made only superficial
and careless examination of the
cases, but he made no allusion to the re-
port of DR.. Godfrey, of the United States
Marine Hospital service.
DR.. Godfrey has arrived here from Bi-
loXi. lie adhereS to the belief that the
disease was not yellow fever, but he gave
the mayor of Biloxi the advice OF Sur
geon- General Hamilton that the conva-
lescents should be kept under supervision
for six days, and all the precautions taken
to prevent a spread of the disease, after
which quarantine and other restrictions
could lie abolished. Popular and medical
circles are still divided as TO the charac-
ter of the Biloxi fever. Whatever it was,
however, 1t is ended, as there are no new
cases and the sick are well again.

he heard her whisper his name. Since
then she has gradually regeined her voice

SAYS she was almost delriouS with Joy
when she found that she could speak.
Her voice was low and her throat, sore
for three days, and she had trouble i'll
finding words to express her thoughts.
1t was much like learning new tongue,
except that she knew the words, but had
forgotten how to pronounce them. City
physicians are deeply Interested in the
case. Their explanation is that the re-
cOvery was due TO intense mental ex'
ri itpmtut.
