The black man Taylor, who has been
appointed minister to Bolivia, seems to
think that he will have no trouble in get
ting all the social recognition his diplo-
matte position entities him TO at the Bo-
livian capital. There is possibility that
he is altogether too sanguine. In the
first place the Senate may not confirm his
nomination, and in the second place, if it
should be confirmed the Bolivian govern
ment might declare that he is not such a
representative from this country as it de-
sires to receive.

The six cases of yellow fever at Jesup
indicate very clearly either that Deputy
Sheriff Warren brought the fever there
or that he caught it there. At first it
was thought he caught it from refugees
at Gardi and then it was said he had
been in the vicinity of Brunswick in Sep
TENDER. The probabilities are that Bruins
wick refugees carried the fever to Jesup,
though the truth probably will never be
known.

research fails to locate these things as

changed until the tribute was understood
to consist of a ''silver penny to be con.
