A sus est on to consumptives.

It is c. tonlsning how little thought invalids and their friends bestow on some questions in which they are vitaly interested. For instance, it is an every day occurrence for people who either suffer with or are threat ened by pulmonary diseases to leave for Colo rado, by order of physicians. But very few of them inquire why the climate of Colorado is expected to benefit them. The fact is that except in the early stages of lung disease it is 8 problem which puzzles even good physi- cians, whether that climate will do good or harm. Denver is mope than 5000 feet above the sea level That is to say, St. Louis, be- ing about 700 feet above the sea, Denver is nearly mile higher then we are here. The result is that the atmosphere is far more rare, and the theory upon which residence there is supposed to benefit weak lungs is that the extra exertion necessary to inhale the proper amount of the vitalizing element gives fuller and freer play to all parts of the lungs, and preserves them from decay.
 But so great a change in altitude as that from St. Louis to Denver, if made suddenly, may be too severe a strain upon a nature weakened by disease, and the change has often proved fatal When symptoms of con- sought, if the patient has means, he is nearly always advised either to go west, for the reasons have indicated, or to go south this on a different theory altogether. have often thought, however, that when the Colo rado trip is recommended, the advice should be coupled with provision that the change be made by easy stages, rests being made at least three times on the road, to enable the lungs to become gradually accustomed to the changed conditions.

No Danger of an Outbreak There-Jackson

 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22.-At the meeting of the board of health the fever epidemic at Jackson was discussed. Dr. Watkins thinks there is no danger of sickness here. Through trains on the Illinois Central railroad will not hereafter stop at Jackson, Miss. The roads connecting Jackson with Natchez and Vicksburg have discontinued their trains, and communication between those points is cut off It is reported on good authority that the frightened people have torn up piece of railroad track between Harrison and Vicksburg. The people of Jackson are now entirely isolated, and there is little fear that any refugees will reach Louisiana There is evidently 8 reign of terror in and about Jackson, and gentleman on his way from Birmingham to Vicksburg, who was forced to come to New Orleans from Meridian, said that he never saw people so frightened as are the Mississippians, who are panic stricken lest the scourge become general Special trains, as required, will be sent to Jackson by the Illinois Central to carry north all who wish to go

 William Warren, the comedian, was 76 years of age at the time of his death. The veteran actor, whose fame was made in Bos- ton, where he had lived for the greater part of his life, was fairly idohzed by the people of that city. Next to Joseph Jefferson, he was considered the foremost comedian ill the United States, and these two, with John Gil bert, of this city, were the last three living representatives of the old school of American actors Mfr Warren was torn in Sansom street, Philadelphia, Nov. F, 1872.
 He made his first appearance at the Arch Street theatre, Philadelphia, Oct. ?, 1882, ten days after his fathers death, at benefit rendered to his mother, playing the part Of young Norval in Howe's tragedy, 'Douglas," :" the same character i'll which his father had made his debut nearly fifty years previously The young actor was well received, and soon after took leading position in his profession He toured through the west with company organized by the elder Joseph Jefferson in 1885, and after a varied career went to Europe. When he returned year later he went to Boston, and at once won the admiration of the theatre goers of that city. His first appearance there was as Sir Lucius O'Trigger in "The Rivals" at the Howard Atheneum. He appeared in twenty-f -fvs roles that season. The next year he sue ceeded Charles w Hunt as leading man at the Boston museum, where he has ever since remained, with the exception of one season, playing up to the time of his great benefit in 1882 no less than 561 distinct character roles, making total of nearlIy 600 parts played in Boston, and TOO when his previous acting is

Short Hop CrOD.

MIDDLETowN, N. Y, Sept. 22.-The hop picking season closes this week, with a short crop gathered and an extraordinary boom in prices The yield falls considerably below the early estimates and barely equals half an average crop, or a total production in the state of about 45, 900 bales. James F. Clark of Otsego county, who is the largest grower in the state, last year harvested 10000 pounds from ninety-six acres, while this sea- son, with 125 acres planted his crop is only 60,OO0 pounds.

Chicago Surprised.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-The announcement that Walter c. Newberry had been nom- mated to succeed Postmaster Judd created much surprise here, as it was not generally known that MT. Judd had resigned. His resignation, however, was sent in within twenty-four hours from the time that R. A. D. Wilbanks, superintendent of the mails, was removed Wilbanks had antagonized Judd's administration, and it is pretty clearly understood here now that Judd had insisted on his removal before rendering his own resignation. This being accomplished, the resignation followed at once. Walter c. Newberry, the nominee,::is president of the Iroquois club here, the leading Democratic organization, to which the nomination was quite gratifying.

 Wife Gets Rid of Herself Also.
 OTTAWA, Sept. 22.-A case of poisoning is reported to have occurred on the shores of Lake TemiKamingue, north of Mattawa, on Sunday afternoon last, which resulted in the death of a man named Bowin and his wife, aged 40 and 56 years, respectively. It ap- pears that for some time past Mrs. Bowin has been anxious to get rid of her husband. The opportunity occurred on Sunday, when the man complained of feeling unwen. His wife suggested dose of epsom salts, but in stead of that prepared dose of strychnine He was suspicious of the mixture and re- fused to take it, when, to satisfy his soru- pies, the woman took spoonful herself, which induced him to take the full dose. The woman made the mistake in her own case of miscalculating the strength of the poison, thinking doubtless that spoonful would not hurt her. When a man named Grenier called in shortly afterward the poison was working on her. Calling her hus- band to her assistance Grenier found that Bowin, who was in another part of the house, was much worse than his wife and was unable to assist her. Getting the two together the symptoms became so alarming that Grenier became frightened and started for assistance. On his return they were hOth dead

 MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. 22.-~A special to The Dispatch from State Health Officer Cochran at Decatur, Ala, says:
 ''The situation here is very gloomy. Up to Thursday night had seen four undoubted cases of yellow fever, and as many that I believed to be yellow fever. Friday morn ing three new cases were reported, posi- lively, and three or four more as suspicious. The excitement for the last three days has been immense. People have been leaving in crowds. 1 think half of the population has got away, in spite of the fact that no trains have been allowed to stop in the town and in spite of the universal quarantine. It is plain now that there is some source of in lection independent of Spencer, and it is probable that Spencer did not get his case from the Jacksonville visitor
 ''My situation here has been extremely pain full Myself and pr. Cross stood alone against all the other local doctors and against the fercely excited population. have been de nounced in the most opprobrious terms; I have been made out ignoramus and a fraud I have been denounced for saying that yellow fever was here, and have been denounced on the other hand for not saying that certain cases were yellow fever, and pre- venting exposure. I was damned if I did and damned if didn't. In the meantime tried to temper excitement, to keep the roads open and get the mails off. All the time I have kept the health officials of Alabama and of other states quietly informed of the facts, so that due precaution might be taken. The doctors now admit that we have yellow fever here, and steps towards systematic manage ment are being taken. So many people had been exposed before got here, and medical and popular opinion was so against me that could do almost nothing in the way of pre-
