Sad Story OF Norwegian YOuth-His
Burial Beneath the Oaks.
There was buried from the Savannah
hospital yesterday youth who had ex-
cited much interest among the visitors to
that institution. His name was Suend
Swenelen. He was a native of Norway,
and was only II years of age. The disease
which caused his death was typhoid fe-
yer.
His story is brief He was the ideal of
his parents, who are well-to-do and cul-
tivated people. He was unusually bright
and very amiable. Between him and his
mother there was an attachment so strong
that they found little pleasure away from
each other.
The youth became III with fever, and
for time his recovery was regarded as
doubtful. His convalescence was very
slow, and when he was able TO be about,
sea Captain, a friend OF the family,
suggested a sea voyage. After debating
the suggestion for several weeks the
young mans parents accepted it, and he
started to this country in a sailing Ves-
sci with his friend, the Captain.
When within two days of this port
he was again Frustrated with fever, and
on bis arrival here was taken at once to-
the hospital. The Captain was at his bed
side daily, and when he realized tina
there was no hope of the youths recoY

He provided the best medical attention

sick boys wants. The lady visitors {

and did what they could TO make hi II

was at his bedside. With broken voice

THE QUARANTINE.
Opposed to Modifying Quarantine Regu-
lationa.

Editor Morning Nelos: have read with
pleasure your editorial in reply to the
effort that is being made to have the rules
governing quarantine modified, and thus
shorten the time Of detention for a vessel
at quarantine station, an9 am confident
you have voiced the sentiments OF a large
majority of the citizens of Savannah, and
that you may depend upon their support
ing your endeavOr to protect the interests
OF the city.
You have touched so well all salient
points, called attention to the dangers
attending a modification of quarantine
regulations, and, most forcibly of all, that
new modes of disinfecting a vessel are
only experimental, that very little is left
to be said.
l see in the New York Herald of March
10, under the heading Of South American
News" that the yellow fever is now at
Rio. So it would appear we should be
more careful than ever about permitting
a vessel from the Quarantine station to
come to the city. The last epidemic in
Pensacola, Fla. was caused by a vessel
that, after having been to quarantine,
where she discharged her ballast and was
fumigated, was permitted to come to the
city to load. CITIZEN.

A Fine Glass OF Residenoes

In walking through the Southwestern
portion of the city. our citizens cannot
fail to note the wonderful improvement in
that portion south of New Houston and
west of West Broad. Recently there have
been built in that vicinity large number
of very nice residences. Many of these
belong to citizens who have been attract
ed to this section by its healthfulness.
Good artesian water, high ground and
pure air, all combine to make this de-
sirable place for residences. 1t Is notice.
able that there are but few vacant lots in
this section, and from the piles of lumber
in the vicinity, further improvements
seem to be projected.
