The situation at Brunswiok.

II begins 10 look as If Brunswick would
escape an epidemic OF yellow fever There
have been no new cases Of the disease
since Harris died last Thursday night,
and no suspicious cases have been re
ported There have been only three
cases in all. twill be three weeks next
Wednesday since Surgeon Branham was
taken sick with what was thought TO be
malarial fever. but which proved TO be
yellow fever, and it has been a week
since he died
IF Brunswick is infected il would
seem as if there would have been many
more cases before this. Although thous-
ands of people have left the city, il is
estimated that at least 5000 remain.
1t cannot be said, therefore, that the rea-
son no more cases have developed is that
there is no material for the fever to feed
upon
If within the next few days no new
cases are reported it may be safely con
Guided that Brunswick is not infected,
and that the cases that occurred were
sporadic. 1t does not follow that there
will be an epidemic of yellow fever in a

occur there late in the summer Prior to
1850 there were cases of yellow fever in
New Orleans every summer-some sea-
sons there were several hundred-but ep-
idemics occurred only once in ten or
twelve years, or at longer periods.
The physicians we're always able to tell
when the fever was going to become cpl
demic. In epidemic years the fever be-
gan early in the summer, after a wet
May and June, followed by intensely hot
weather, and, as rule, there was a great
deal of sickness of a kind that indicated
that the blood of the people was in bad
condition These were the conditions
that prevailed prior to the great epidemic
of 1873 that swept up the Mississippi
valley killing thousands of people.
No such conditions have prevailed at
Brunswick. On the contrary, there was
not an unusual amount of rain in either
May or June, and July was not a hot
month There were hot days in July,
but the temperature of the month was
not above the average. There has not
been an unusual amount of sickness in
Brunswick, and the sanitary condition of
the town is said to be excellent. There
are, therefore, good reasons for thinking
there will be no epidemic in Brunswick.
1t is sincerely to be hoped there will not.

A Banker,s Mistake.

Il recently heard" said Mr. Gage, the
banker, to a Chicago Journal man, ''of a
banker in Wisconsin q man of iron firmness,
who hearing OF bank troubles in many local
tiles. determined that he would not lend a
dollar, but would collect every claim due
him. De enjoyed the entire confidence Of the
community, being a man of undoubted re-
sponsibility. Soon after the banker had de-
termtned upon this policy man Of substance
applied to him for loan of 800 The banker
refused roughly, on the ground that he could
not spare the money. The would-be borrower
from whose mind the illusion had not vet
been dissipated that a bank was fountain
from which wealth flowed, was shocked and
panied. He went about among other mem
bers of the community expressing his grief
that his banker was in such distressing stu
alton. Certain depositors put their own con-
struction upon the meaning of all this. Within
a week the banker himself was an humble
borrower in Chicago, having paid in hard
cash % per cent of his liabilities to the
community which had lost faith in him"

by both agents simultaneously.

Instantly maps were produced and for ten

closely. Then they looked at each other and
both asked one question:
Where is Angelina

the agents, while the countryman boarded a
