One of the medical bureaus doctors tells
of the following prayer of a little girl or
years old while sick with the fever:
"Oh, God help me, bless my soul. Dear
God, bless papa and mama | want to get
well. Oh, God l don't want to die. Bless
grandpapa and grandmama, Amen"
She got well.
AMONG THE CONVALEsCENTs.
Two telegraph operators, Mr.. Turner and
James b. O'Driscoll. have relapsed and are
quite sick.
Dr.. James M. Fairlie, secretary of the
board Of trade, and of the sanitary associa-
ton. has an attack of the prevailing" and
also his little boy, Andrew. His little girl
is also SICK and IN fact there is not well
person in the house excepting the nurse.
Revs. W. H. Dodge, K. Ii. Weller, B. G.
White and j. r. Brcknell may now be
considered among the convalescentS. Their
many friends and parishloners here and
abroad, will be glad to learn Of their re-
covery.
There is no doubt that to-day is livelier
than usual. A sure sign of returning life
was noticeable this room on Bay street, in
the shape of an immense steam boiler, Which
was being transported from the depot to
the Electric Light Company's shops, near
Springfield.

turn faster and more smoothly. Acting
Mayor Gerow has proved himself to be
every inch a mayor, and those who have
come in contact with him are Of the same
opinion. 1t is rather early for such
proposition, but it would be but right to
pay him fitting tribute in the future.
FUM1GATIoN or BUILDINGS.
There seems to be some doubt among the
citizens concerning the fumigation of build
ings. Some believe that after there is tr st
there will be no fumigatlon, and that the
authentics do not know all the infected
premises, nor will they be able to find all
the materials needing attention after post
poning the work SO long 1t seems to many
that where all have been sick with yellow
fever in house the best time for fumiga-
ton is Immediately upon their recovery.
Then everything can be found and purified
by sulphur smoke.
The relief department is as busy as any
other and makes good beadway in curtail-
ing the immense expenditures Of the epl-
demic. Last week nearly II 00psople were
fed daily. Now only about Q, 400 are so fed.
Perhaps 400 persons in the country are re-
lieved also, yet 5000 pays the weekly salaries
for all the employees in that department.
That doesn't sound much like the reckless
waste denounced by Col. Southmayd
COMEDY.
Here's bit of comedy that came to DR..
Porters notice this morning, and, by the
way, it is only sample of many others:

DEAR SIR am one of DIR. senters patients.

OF sugar, two pounds of tea. twelve pounds OF
butter, one champagne, flour, one cherry
brandy, some ham, one chicken, one milk and

Fernandina in the future will have to get
her supplies and money from Jacksonville
This is what Surgeon Hamilton has decreed,
and as he is supreme in this matter, his die
tum settles the question, so distasteful to
our affected sister city. To-day Surgeon
Porter received a telegram from the
future he should also have to look
after Fernandina's wants, and Surgeon
Porter cheerfully complies, although it is
load on his shoulders looking after both
places. Many refugees from here went to
Volusia county during the panic, but not
case Of yellow fever has occurred in that
county.
Jacksonville landlord, writes to Henry
Genth asking the latter to tell his tenants
that he will not collect any rents from those
who remained during the epidemic.
Regarding DIR. Blacks interview in an
Atlanta paper charging the officials with
shortcomings, President Neal Mitchell ex-
pressed himself this evening AS follows:
II declare his statements a conglomeration
Of inaccuracies and falsities undeserving
further notice." Others expressed them
selves still stronger.
The contributions acknowledged to-day
by the finance committee aggregated $2,915.
HARRY MINERS NURSES.
There has been a misunderstanding in re-
gard to the payment OF the nurses known as
tho Harry Miner nursesn These nurses
were sent down by Harry Miner at his own
expense, and had not, therefore, been en-
rolled at the bureau of nurses and medical
attendance, but now the committee can re-
ceive no satisfactory communication from
Mr. Miner. President Schumacher has
been authorized to telegraph Maj. j. H.
Durkee and request him to have personal
interview with Mr.. Miner and arrange mat
ters. If possible.
A petition is being circulated by C. B.
Rogers, a prominent merchant, asking that
all the relief stores except one be closed
that men able to work be given employment
and paid from the public funds, and that
the INDECENT cripples and aged be provided
for. This is asked in order that money
may enter the customary channels Of trade
and thus help to restore business to its nor
NAL condition. The petition is being gem
orally signed.
THE sUB-TRoPIcAL.
The following circular was issued to-day:
OFFICE FLORIDA SuB-TRoPICAL EXPOSITION,
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Oct. IL, 1883. (
To the Citizens of Florida:
The management OF the Florida Suh-Tropical
Exposition hereby gives public notice that the
exposition will be opened on Jan. l5, 1882. The
yellow fever epidemic in Jacksonville neces-
sarily limited the comprehensive plans for al
terations and additions to the plant of the ex-
position contemplated by the board Of direc-
buildings through which 200 delighted people
passed this year praising the resources of
Florida and the energy of her people such
improvements as our means and efforts
can effect will be made. 1t rests now with the
