Last night at o'clock, Mr.. W. r. Ross,
compositor, was married to Miss jesse e.
Loyett, under peculiarly sad circumstances.
The bride-elect at o'clock in tho afternoon,
began feeling sick, and when.S o'clock arrived
had very high fever, her temperature being
JOB degrees, but nothing daunted the plucky
and pretty bride insisted that the wedding
should take place, and Bishop Weed tied the
nuptial knot. Immediately after the ceremony
t !i pride broke completely down,a so alarm
ing became her symptoms that a doctor was
called III, and she was ordered to bed. This
morning it was discovered that she had very
serious case Of yellow fever. The bridegroom
is almost Wild with grief.
THE FREE RATIoNs.
"This free ration business has ruined the
niggerss' said DR.. Kenworthy this noon, rs he
stood near bis laboratory at the corner of Ocean
and Forsyth streets. "Why, what's the mat
ter?" "Well, yesterday gave notice that
wanted lot OF hands to help clean the out
houses, and put the city in pretty good con-
dition. now that the epidemic is drawing to q
close. L guess over one hundred negroes were
notified to report here this afternoon, and how
many do you think turned up?" "Four or
five," suggested the reporter ''No, sir, not
that many; only one since reported, and he,
think, came by mistake. tell you this free
feeding is running the darkies in this town,
and we will never be able to get them to do
anything again" And the irate doctor walked
off thoroughly disguised.
The so-called "Red Cross" nurses bob nd for
public discussion everywhere. The difficulty
of getting them back TO their homes in New
Orleans does not reach a solution very rapidly,
and inasmuch as their pay goes on until they
landed in the crescent city they are proving an
expensive luxury. Not only must they be
paid wages while the details of transportation
are being arranged but wages, board and so
forth during the period of quarantine
in Florida and at the Mississippi river.
Your correspondent met one Of these
females today, and she began berating
him about certain newspaper paragraphs not
very complimentary to some Of her nurse asso-
ciates. you called them drunken and thievish
in yourSpaper, and will make you prove it"

it too bad; I'm trained nurse and trained
nurses don't get drunk This about expresses
the general sentiment among this particular
crowd of nurses. The fact that they are enti-
tied to the use of the word Grained" in addi-
ton to that of nurse" in their opinion, frees
them from any suspicion of bad habits. Jack
sonville's experience proves, however, that
this training has not always been in the school
of temperance and good morals
"RED HEADED GIRLS ARE EXEMPT
from yellow fever" remarked a prominent
physician this noon. heard this statement
advanced many years ago, before the white
horse theory was sprung on the public, and
when l came here was determined to further
Investigate the matter. l have done SO, and
among my patients, over 406 in number, not
one Of them had ''carroty wig" as we used
to call red hair at college. 1 have asked my
brother physicians If they had any red headed
patients, and could not find but one doctor
who said he had had this rara avis, but on fur
Their questioning him learned that it was an
albino. Well, goodbye. 1 have an appoint
