that the worst Is to be expected of the
yellow fever epidemic here. The weather
took an unfavorable turn yesterday. and
nothing but heavy frost can stop the
progress of the disease.
1t is a coincidence that just such an
epidemic was declared here seventeen
years ago yesterday.
Sixteen cases were under treatment
last night. The Board of Health has
decided not to give the uames for publ
cation from now on.
All were resting easy. except the
tailor, johnson. and Mrs. Turner, who
were dangerously i'll.
Surgeon Guiteras warns people from
allowing citizens to spend their days in
Brunswick and go out to their homes
at night. He says such people will
carry infection with them.
One OF the pathetic things of this cpl
demic is the numerous letters Post
master MacBrown daily receives from
the wives and mothers inquiring for
their people from whom they cannot
hear In answer to these 1t may be
said that all that could go have gone
