Doctor Hamilton left Washington this
evening for Jacksonville to confer with the
state board of health in regard to measures
for preventing the introduction or spread of
contagious diseases.
HAD BEEN AILING FOR MONTHS.
Mrs. Dement'S health had been bad for
months. Her case was not of virulent or
infectious type. There are no other cases
in the family. There are no fears of an
epidemic Under the new health laws
every point in the state is kept
under close watch on reports of
doubtful cases. On requests from
citizens the state health officers win visit
the towns and make an exhaustive examipa-
ton. The Sanford case is the first and only
one this year. The state board has ample
funds for prosecuting its work and more
would be readily appropriated il needed.
The board is composed of the best medical
and sanitary experts in the state clothed
with almost despotIc powers, and it may
almost be said that neither panic nor an
extensive epidemic is possible in Florida
this year.
SANFORD VERY sKEPTICAL.
SANFORD, FLA, April 24.-There has
been no new developments since the wires
announced to the world that there had been
sporadic case of yellow fever in Sanford
on April %. The only effect that this dec
laration has had on the people here is to
spur them on to use their utmost endeavor
in putting the town in a perfect sanitary
condition. No one appears unduly excited,
and none of the people have gone away.
The mass Of the people do not believe that
there has ever been any yellow fever here.
Nevertheless, every precautionary measure
is being adopted that conforms to the re-
qulrements of the state board of health.

JESUP'S HOTEL In RUINS.
THE GUESTS FLEE EFROM FIRE SOON
AFTER MIDNIGHT.

No Doubt That the Flames We're
Started by an Inoendiary-Fear at
One Time That the Whole Town
Would Be Destroyed-The Losses
and Insurance.
JEsUP, GA, April "a. This morning at
o'clock the yard men in the Jesup yard DIS
covered dense smoke issuing from the
west side of the Altamaha hotel An alarm
was at once given by blowing distress
signals by the engines in the railroad yard.
Soon the citizens were out, but they we're
too late to render much assistance in saving
the burning building or its contents. The
Altamaha hotel '"as a large frame build
ing, and burned like tinder. The flames
were quickly communicated to the Southern
Express office, which was also raj idly con-
sumed.
FEARS FOR THE TOWN.
At this time little hope of saving any
part of the town was entertained but every
effort was concentrated on the old depot OF
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way, which was near the express office, and
by the heroic efforts of Mr.. Downey, an
engineer of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad, Harry Whaley and
others, the building was saved, thereby
leaving the rest of the town out of danger.
INCENDIARIsM SUSPECTED.
Very little was saved from the hotel No
doubt exists that the fire was the work
of an incendiary, this being the third
attempt to burn it. Three weeks ago an
unsuccessful attempt was made to burn the
same building by pouring kerosene in the
rear hall and lighting it. Last night kero-
sene was poured on the west gallery near
the same place. Some time since an out
house was fired near the building.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-First Assistant
Postmaster General Clarkson to-day ap-
pointed about 175 fourth class postmasters.

that practically no changes are being
made in fourth class Offices except
upon sustained charges against postmasters
or TO improve the location Of Offices, or
where postmasters bad held office about four
years. In these cases, he said, changes
would continue 10 be made upon recon-
mendation Of members Of congress, or other
competent persons, in whose districts the
offices are located.
FOUR YEARS LONG ENOUGH.
He said that as the term of office under
the government as W II as in state and
county offices is & no ally four years, he
saw no good reason for making an excep-
ton 70 this rule in favor of fourth class
postmasters. He thought that the service
would be improved by making II change as
often as once In four years Many promi-
nent members OF congress OF both political
parties have expressed to Mr.. Clarkson
their hearty approval Of this policy. Quite

MARINE NEWS AND NOTES.

The bark Cora arrived at San Fran
cisco from Cooks Inlet, Alaska, last
Saturday. She encountered heavy
weather, and had to throw overboa d
500 cases of salmon of her cargo toget
the leak above water.
The steamer clara Parker is busy.
She came down from Portland last
Sunday with 40 M brick, 80 barrels
lime, and other freight. Yesterday
she took the schooners Ida and Ella
to Skamokawa, to load lumber for
San Francisco, and to-day will bring
down the loaded schooner Eureka.
Out of the crew of GO men, on the
y. s. fishery steamer AlbGtrOSS, there
are only some 20 native born Ameri-
cans. This facts lends weight to the
recommendation of the recent com
mercial conference at San Francisco,
that an apprenticeship system be in
troduced in the American merchant
marine.

Spend your money at home. It is
your home: you cannot improve it
much by taking your money away to
invest. There is no way of improv-
ing a place so much as by encourag-
ing good merchants, good schools and
good people to settle among you, and
this cannot be done unless you spend
your money at home, for there is
where you got it. Spend your money
at home, because when it is necessary
to get credit it is of your own town
merchants you have to get it, and
they must wait for the money. Spend
your money at home. 1t will make
better business for your merchants.
They can and will keep better asort-

the only business they could do was
credit out, while the money goes to
other places. Spend your money at
home. Set the example now. Buy

merchants are your friends; they
stand by you in sickness and trouble,
and they are your associates. With
out your trade they cannot do bust

Just for instance. Is it well to be
perpetually finding fault with things?
Do you make any money by crying
down and belittling enterprises great
and small? Is it business? Last
spring there was a good deal of fun
poked at the new schooner, Bessie
Rutter. So much was said that Capt.
Olsen had difficulty in getting crew.
Well, she sailed; was a success; but,
remembering the send-off, he went to
Victoria. He will likely stay there
The little vessels disbursements are
not much, but they count. Astoria
has lost that. Last spring, also, an
effort was made to make trouble for
vessels fitting out for Alaska. The
result was the expenditure of $780,
900 in S. F., that would have been
spent here. The Historian doesn't
believe in post mortems, and only re-
fers to these things to say, don't croak
nor whine, nor try to keep people from
starting up enterprises. If you can't
do it yourself, don't deter others from
working. The town must have enter
prises or it can't go ahead. Telling
about the winter of '43 is very enter
tanning, but the progress of '89 is more
interesting to good many people.
