A DOCTORS DILEMMA.

State Health Onicer Cochran or Alaba ma
 Placed In an Awkward Predicament In
 Regard to the Yellow Fever Outbreak at
 Decatur.
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. IA special to the Dispatch from State Health Officer Cochran, Decatur, Ala, says: "The sit uatiOn here is very gloomy. Up to last night had seen four undoubted cases of yellow fever and as many that believed to be yellow fever. This morning three new cases are reporte1, positively, and three or fn,sr n.5re as suspicious. The excitement for the last three days has been immense. People have been leav- ing in crowds; I think half of the popu- lation has got away in spite of the fact that no trains have been allowed to stop in the town, and in spite of the omnipo- tent quarantine. r is plain now that there is some source of infection inde- pendent of Spencer, and 1t is probable that Spencer did not get his case from the Jacksonville visitor. My situation Myself and Dr. Cross stood alone doctors. have been denounced in the most opprobrious terms; have been made out an ignoramus and fraud. I ldNo Uctn utuOuuCcl lOi say luS bitab 1Ct low fever was here, and have been de- nounced on the other hand for not saying that certain cases were yellow fever, and preventing exposure. I was damned If l did, and damned if I didn't. In the mean time, tried to temper the excitement to keep the roads open, and get the mails of. All the time I have kept the health officials of Alabama and of other States quietly informed of the facts, so due pre- caution might be taken. The doctors now admit that we have yellow fever here, and steps towards systematic man. agement will be taken. So many people had been exposed before got here, and medical and popular opinion was so against me that could do almost noth- In q in the way of nraYention.O

The Hot Weather Responsible.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept 21.-For four successive days the thermometer has gone above 90, and has not at night fallen to 70. The remarkable beat partly ex- plains the increase of the fever. It is further explained by the fact that the colored people who have heretofore been treating their sick themselves with various household remedies without calling in a physician are now, since the establishment of a free medical bureau and free nurses, reporting their sick and asking medical aid Probably thousand eolored people of Jackson vile have had the fever in mild form and have recovered, but these cases have never been reported. The nervous strain on physicians and relief committees has been very great.

Far Reac ching Plans for Circulating the
 Description of the Alleged Murderer.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-The new reward Of S20, GOO for the arrest and detention of wm. B. Tascott, offered by Mrs. Henri- etta Shell, is to be more widely circulated than any of the former offers. The cir- cular containing description of Tascott and sample of his handwriting, will be mailed direct to every post office in the United States and Canada, numbering between sixty and sixty five thousand--a matter of $6, 300 for postage alone, not counting the cost of printing, folding and enveloping.
 This, however, is only small part Of the circulation scheme. The circular Is to be printed in German, French, Span- ish, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian and Belgian, and sent to all the most prom nent post offices of Europe. Copies will be sent to all consuls, chiefs of police, detective bureaus and other likely sources of information. Asia and South Ameri ca will not be overlooked If deemed ad- visable the circular will be put into Rus sian and Hindoostanee, and sent through out those countries also.

shocking Cruelty Charged Dy Wue III s
 Hoosier Divorce
 MARION, Ind, Sept. 21.-A petition for divorce was filed here to-day by Minerva Warner against John H. Warner, Q farmer in comfortable circumstances. The parties have been married thirty years. Among other charges, the plaint- if sets forth that there have been days and 0 week at time that she and her children had nothing to eat; that when they would get some- thing and try to cook it defendant would stand by and spit in the skillet as fast as she could clean it; that he would cook his own meals and put the scraps back, so that neither she nor their chill dren could get anything to eat. Plaintiff claims that she had to cut most of the wood, and that during cold weather de- fendant sawed the axe-handle of and locked axe and handle up in the chest, so as to freeze her and her children out.

A MOVE FOR SPACE.

For some time past renovations have been
carried on in the building on the corner OF
Military plaza, Nos. 4, 9, s and 10, and Nos. IL
and Is, Trevino Avenue, formerly occupied by
Mr.. L. Abrahams. Mr.. Jacob Dullnig is now
the occupant. Mr.. Dullnig lisa veteran in the
grocery business, having for a long time done
business in the twO-stOry house on the north
east corner of Military plaza. Mr. Dullnig,
owing TO fair and liberal dealings with his Gus
toners, has been forced by constant pres
sure of space, to enlarge his stock and seek
for Il more rOOmy house. When LIGHT rep
rcsuntatiye called at the new quarters he
found MIR. Dullnig and his assistants buSlly
employed in waiting upon customers. The
renovation has been made so complete that 1t
is quite surprise to see and admire the ar
Tangements of the new store.
Mr.. Dullnig invites all his old friends and
patrons in the city and country, as well as the
public generally, TO call on him and become
convinced that his prices will compare favor
ably with any in the city.
In addition to a fine and well selected stock
of general staples, he will constantly keep on
hand a full and complete assortment of fancy
goods of all kinds, while his connection with
the surrounding country people and farmers
generally, will enable him to keep full and
complete supply of country produce at all
times. The LIGHT bespeaks for Mr.. Dullnig
success in his new and enlarged establish

MATTERS are not QuIeted In Europe
nor do they show any signs OF becoming
so. What the result will be OF present
negotiations and promises, is not among
things movable. The trouble Ia brew
Ing still, that is certain. Austria wants
war. but does not want to take the In
itlatiye for fear she may not be ably
seconded by Germany. Russia wants
war, but her rulers do not, because they
know how deeply depressed are her fl
nanoes, how low her credit, and how
vast must be the preparations for sue
cessful movement to the MEDITERRANEAN.
Russia will not undertake anything
short OF this, and to undertake this
means a gigantic struggle. England is
waiting for spring Developments. East
ern policies will be better defined after
the SHOWS disappear. Austria and Rus
STA are alike divided internally over the
question OF war. but In Austria the feel
Ing OF hesitation is over GermGny's at
titude, not over her own condition. The
Irish situation will depend very much
upon the outcome OF affairs In the east.
With war In eastern Europe, England
would be compelled to treat ireland
with more consideration. The very
fact that the Salisbury government Is
thinking OF bringing In home rule Dill
OF Its own. may be taken as an indica-
ton that 1t regards the situation In the
east as extremely critical.

How Long VIII They be Content.
A hundred thousand people In New
York are becoming criminals and pau
pers, becoming a burden upon their fell
lowmen, not from any fault Of their own,
but because there is no way for them to
earn their own living; they are willing
to work, but there Is no work.
Few there are who will not
steal rather than starve; father
lie not a father who will see his child
pine away and die Of hunger, while
there is bountiful supply around. 1t
is impossible for a mother to allow her
child to die OF starvation II IL lies In her
power to prevent IL, and this hundred
thousand, two hundred thousand or
more, are not suffering because OF
famine. but because Of the mismanage-
ment. Ignorance or indifference OF the
class In power.
Ii Is no use to talk philosophy or po-
litical economy TO these men; they want
bread, must and will have bread; part
will obtain Ii through crime, part
through vagrancy. Ii Is no use to talk
of the magnificence OF our government,
the glories OF our Institutions when they
are suffering for the necessaries or life;
and what Is true Of the hundred thou
sand or more In New York Is true Of an
equal per cent In all OF our large cities.
Ii Ia not confined to our cities; you will
find these unemployed In every town
and hamlet.
1t Is not a hundred thousand, but 1t is
million; not one million. but millions.
Ia it any use to tell these men to be pa
tient, not to listen to the teachings OF
anarchists, socialists, communists and
nihilists when they see Goulds, Sages.
Vanderbilts springing up all around?
How long will this great middle cIass,
this industrial class, patiently submit to
the conspIracles resulting from CONSOLE
dations on the one hand, and the
millions of poor, ignorant. perhaps
we'll meaning but unemployed peo'
pie on the other? How long
will the true brain and sinew OF our
country be content to see their money
20 to increase the wealth OF the million
aires on the one hand while they are
building jails and poor houses to be
filled up with the paupers and criminals
sent here from other lands?

Illustrations printed in colors are the
most unique aud striking feature In the
February number Of The Cosmopolitan.
This marked Innovation upon the old
methods Of illustration, go long pursued
by the old magazines, is certsin TO at
tract great attention and win UT versal
popularity Nowhere in the world has
wood engraving reached such perfection
as in the United States, but 1t seems to
have reached its limit, 1t being lmpOssi-
BILE to make finer and more artistic work
than Is now produced. Consequently,
the only forward step possible to take In
the direction ofbetter Illustrations ia the
one now taken for the first time In this
country by The Cosmopolitan. Color is
always more pleasing to the eye than
black and white. Oil paintings and
water oolors appeal more strongly to the
artistic sense than the finest steel en-
cravings or etchings, because they rep
resent more nearly Nature as she IL.
and 1t is this fact that makes the col
ored Illustrations in The Cosmopolitan
so much more attractive than any wood
engraving or pen drawing can possibly
be.
