WANTS TO TRY THE FEVER.
a Savannahisn Who Has a Sure Cure
for the Dreaded Disease.

SAVANNAH, GA, Aug 3O.-Editor Norm
ing NetCS: My theory of yello fever and
its cure appeared in the MORNING NEWS
about eight months ago. l wish to state
again that my theory is, without doubt,
correct; and to prove that it is based on
facts aud reason, and that it may be used
by every body with safety, request the
authorities Of any infected city to withhold
one corpse or more from interment, which,
by the time OF my arrival, after having
been sent for, will be in better state 10 in
feet. will enter the apartment and will
remain Until / AM sick, or pronounced
infected, after which / will throw off
the so dreaded disease at pleas
ure, without any medical aid
whatever, This is one of the tests which ]
propose. Should there be case which
doctors pronounce beyond hope, beg to be
ad United and if the attending physical !
will sIst me while applying my method of
treatment, there may be chance for q
sp ady recovery Of said patient. This is the
most uiflicll5 test | can offer.
After my theory has been adopted the
doctors can handle any case with ease and
success. Other tests may be decided upon,
and l will submit to all excepting that of in
oculation. | have tried my best for four
years TO bring this matter into proper hands,
which is proven by the preliminary exami-
nation by DR.. Duncan in the presence Of
Mayor Lester aud a number of witnesses.
Afterward the matter went into the hands
of the medical society. l waited patiently
and actually felt ashamed of tho selfish ac-
ton Of learned men.
Ny visit TO Tampa during the yellow
fever there convinced me of certain facts
which enable me to assert the certainty of
my method Of treatment more confidently
than ever. My treatment if introduced,
will without q dOllhE do with thE
mortality of yellow fever, and should there
be any misrepresentation on my part will
submit to any censure. To show that
life will not be endangered by the treat
ment l propose to otter myself for .ex-
perimental purposes. Now that the fever
has taken firm hold in Florida, the oppor
tunity is offered to show that the disease
can be faced without fear, and treated in
the easiest manner.

RICE BIRDS BY THOUSANDS.
The Season Opens With a Rush-Th
Birds Fat and Plentiful.

Birds Eat and Plentiful.
Rice birds are coming in lively. They
made their first appearance in the restaur-
ants here week ago, and since then they
have been pouring in at the rate Of about
$50 dozen per day. They came in about ten
DAYS earlier last season, but they were not
as fat as the birds that are being brought in
now.
There are more birds this season." said
a well-known restaurateur, st an we have
seen in a good many seasons, and while the
late birds last season were very nice, there
were not great many of them. This was
due no doubt in great measure to the short
rice crop The crop this season is large
one, and birds are plentiful"
The first birds that were marketed
brought 81 per dozsn. This was, Of course,
fancy price. They are retailing now for
30c. per dozen. AT the restaurants a half
dozen birds on toast costs 30 cents, but they
are well prepared.
The seasi Ii for rice birds opens the middle
or latter part of August and lasts until about
the middle Of October. Ia the course Of a
season there are at least million birds
marketed here. They are brought in prin-
cipally by negroes from the rice plantations
around the city.

The funeral of Thomas Mccarthy took
place from his late residence, on Jones
street, Yesterday afternoon at o'clock.
He was buried in the Catholic cemetery.
Rev. Father Balm conducted the funeral
services.
The general whitewashing of fences in
the eastern and western suburbs has given
those sections quite tidy appearance. A
little free whitewash on the norse-sheds on
Bay street. in front of the DeRenne and
Stoddard blocks, would be quite an i'm
provement.
Dr. Dudley Cox, who occupies the Mar
shall residence, at the corner of West Broad
and William streets, plucked from his
flower garden yesterday two Baroness
Rothschild roses, measuring inches across.
Inc roses were delicate pink color, and
were said to be the prettiest that were ever
seen in Savannah.
The body of AL Reynolds the little negro
boy who was drowned in the Bilbo canal
near Jones' marine railway Thursday
afternoon, was picked up In the river

wharf at the foot of Abercorn street.
Coroner Dixon was notified and after an
Investigation, the body was taken to the
boys home in Liberty street lane near
Abercorn street, and thence to Laurel
Grove cemetery, where it was buried. In
the investigation. it was shown that the boy
Jumped off the wharf into water which he
Thought was not over his head. After the
boys who were in bathing with him, dis
covered that he was strangling and drown
ing, they swan to his rescue, but too late
to save him.

The Best Time to Buy valuebles.

This Is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. IL word, we are now inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock in various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits. new tricle and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence Our stock Is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we a0iU sell gerry
close to move some of it. This is e good
time to renew household articles Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornInent we offer line par eDcetlsnoe CT
Ladies' fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chairs and
Charms, Gents Watches ana Jeweiry, etc
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give nop. They
will keep, and you will save money.

BANANA TRADE TRUSTED"
A S1o,ooo,ooo Trust Formed in New
Orleans.

The Tropical Fruit Importers Associa-
ton is the name of syndicate which fas
been organized to control the tropical fruit
business of this country. A few days ago
circular was sent to all the fruit men in the
country calling them to secret conference
in New Orlea s. Ii was signed by SIX or
the largest fruit houses in that city. The
association was then organized, ltS oolecG,
as stated in notices s,nt TO the fruit dealers
in this city, being to promote
the general interests OF the tropical fruit
business.
The association, it is stated, is trust
representing a combined capital of SD, 900,
200, organized 20 purchase the entire over
ings OF tropical steamers. SIX million dpl-
lars have been advanced by London capt.
talistS to build railroads in Honduras and
elsewhere SO as TO concentrate the 1rult
market at c'rtGin selected shi pplng points.
There are seventeen steamers engaged in
the tropical fruit business plying INTO New
Orleans. These steamers touch at every
Central American port, ard come into New
Orleans laden with the wealth OF both main
land and island. Fsye steamers arrive each
week, and the csrgoes on each varies from
fifteen to twenty-five carloads OF bananas,
besides great quantities of plantalns, BE-
sides these, there are received from five TO
ten cargoes of cpcoanuts. Some idea OF the
value of this business may be gained from
the statement that profit of $4,000 is
made on a single cargo. The trust, 1t is
stated, intended eventually to cover the
orange trade, and, in fact, the entire circuit
Of tropical products.
The fruit dealers Of the entire country
are expected 10 be at the mercy Of the
trust. Savannah gets the greater portion
of its bananas from New York aud Charles
ton and direct from the Bahamas. What
the effect of the trust will be on the Sa-
vannah fruit trade remains to be seen.

OVER IN CHARLESTON.
What la Going on ia the South Caro-

Superintendent John D. Easterlin of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company will
leave Charleston to-day for New York to
attend the annual convention of the Ma
tional Telephone EXCHANGE Association,
which meets at the Brunswick hotel next
Tuesday. He expects to be absent about
two weeks.
Charleston is increasing the efficiency of
its police force by adding new alarm sys-
tenn. Three telegraph alarm booths are to
be put up in the city. The booths are little
octagon shaped houses. large enough to hold
man. They will each be provided with a
signal apparatus and a telephone, SO that in
case of an emergency policeman can go
inside, and by shutting the door can have
communication with the central station
without being heard outside or exciting
suspicion in the person or persons whom he
may have under surveillance. The three
| booths will be in addition to the signal
| boxes, of which there are to be forty-seven.
