DANA is DEAD.

The Veteran Editor of the New York Sun
Passes Away After u Long Illness.
New York, Oct 1s-Charles A. Dana,
editor of the New York Sun, died at
his home in Glen Cove, Long Island, at
1:2O o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Dana's death had been expected
for several hours, and his family and
physicians were at his bedside when
the end came. His condition had been
such for several months that the
members of his family had kept them
selves in constant readiness to 60 to
his bedside at any moment. On Satur-
day morning he had relapse, and it
was apparent that recovery was i'm

Fatal Cases of Fever in New OrlOan

Reach the 100 Mark.
New Orleans, Oct. 19.-Before 7
o'clock last evening the 100 mark of
deaths during the present period OF
yellow fever prevalence had been
reached, there being seven yesterday.
This century of deaths has occurred as
among less than 900 cases that have
been reported to the board since early
in September, when the first case
made its appearance in New Orleans.
AS usual, however, Mondays record
was swelled by the terrible criminal
neglect of the poorer classes. The
record was by no means reassuring'
Early last evening the new cases ex-
ceeded 80 and bobbed up in all direc-
tions The quarantine system is still
in effect, but it does not seem to re-
strain the spread of the infection and
the opinion seems to be borne out that
yellow fever is not at all contagious,
but atmospherically infectious.
Mobile, Ala, Oct. 19.-Six new cases
and one death of yellow fever is the
report for the past "a hours. The warm
weather has had the effect of increas-
ing the number of cases, although the
deaths are few.
Jackson, Miss, Oct 19-The state
board of health last night issued the
following official bulletin: "Dr Dunn
reports from Cayuga two new cases
and two suspicious cases. At Edwards

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 10. = The

The KaIssr's Latest EocentrIcity.

One of the emperor's latest acts is
peculiarly expressive of the unpleas-
ant, not to say boorish, way that he
has with him. He has caused to be
printed in Berlin volume giving de-
tailed descriptions of the vessels Of the
British navy, including some particu-
lars that have BEEN carefully guarded
as secrets. He has had copies of these
sent to the admiralty and is now en-
joying the success of his undertaking.
How he obtained the secrets puzzles the
English, and he finds further cause for
congratulation because of their per-
plexity. Detroit Free Press

THE BOSS PUZZLE
A Few Hints About Guessing on the
Herald's Jar Of Nuggets

A subscriber living at distance writes
that he would like to participate in the
guessing contest for Klondyke gold, but
how can he estimate the number Of par
ticles in jar without even seeing the
jar? The probabilities are that he can
guess as well one way as the other. II
he should examine the sealed receptacle
ever so carefully he could not form very
intelligent estimate Of the number of
particles in it. If he should weigh out
some native gold ranging in size from
the quarter of fine birdshot to a pea
and count the particles he might have
something of criterion, but there would
be no assurance of coming very close
to the mark. If he shuts his eyes and
guesses some number between 100 and
5000 he will probably stand as good a
chance of hitting the magic number as
by any other means.
And that is as much of hint on the
guessing contest as The Herald is able
to give.

Board of Health Camping
on His Trail
WHAT MAY HAPPEN MONDAY
REPORTS FILED
WITH THE CITY CLERK
Board of Equalization Completes Its
Labors-Street Superintendent
Drain on Paving

That astute body yclept the board of
a homely expression, Friday night when
it projected its astral body far from the
yearning ears Of the reporters.
The milk question did bob up, but the
altitude was the question of permitting
Healh Inspector DR.. Dodson to retire be-
fore he grows gray in the city's service.
For several weeks past the board has
been quietly scrutlnizing' DR.. Dodson's
department. and when the doctor made
his appearance in the committee rooms
last Monday evening he almost heard
himself discussed. But DR.. Dodson told
a straight story of how difficult 1t is for
him to perform the work Of two men at
one and the same time, and he impressed
the board to that extent that 1t ad-
journed without inflicting serious injury.
Friday night the board held a long ex-
ecutive session in DR.. Powers private
office, and the proceedings were kept
profoundly secreted until yesterday. The
time spent in executive session Friday
night, it was definitely stated to Her
aid reporter yesterday, was fully occu-
pied by making a minute inspection of
DR.. Dodson's. books. What the books
revealed or what they did not reveal
was not made known, nor were those
facts declared yesterday by the board
Enough has leaked out, however, to war
rant the statement that an effort will be
made in the council on Monday to permit
DR.. Dodson to retire.
The specific nature of the charges
against Dodson, If any were made, were
not mentioned, but a surmise was made
that it would be in the nature Of neglect
of duty" The members of the board are
reticent concerning the matter.

Paving Recommendations

Street Superintendent Drain yester-
day filed a communication to the council
making several recommendations in re-
gard to the repairing of paved streets,
as follows:
"As your honorable body has passed
resolution of intention to resurface
Spring street as far south as Sixth street,
I would recommend that immediate ac-
ton be taken to continue this work to
Ninth street, as heretofore recommend
ed! The condition of the pavement be-
tween Sixth and Ninth streets is dis
grace to a progressive city like Los An
geles. I would also recommend that
the matter Of resurfacing Sixth street
be taken up, as the street in its present
condition is almost impossible. As.this
work will have to be done eventually,
I would like to have the present genera
tion derive some benefit from 1t.
would also recommend that First street
from Broadway to Hill street, be paved.
as the winter rains wash great deal
of dirt onto the paved streets"

further was heard until last Friday
night when telegram was received by
his eldest son, signed by H. S. Larson,
captain of the Penelope, announcing the
death of the elder Lacy. The body has
been buried temporarily at the mining
camp, awaiting instructions from here.
William Lacy, jr., will start today for
the spot, and If possible bring the re-
mains to this city, where they will be in
tered in the family burial place in Ever
green cemetery.
Mr.. Lacy leaves six children, four sons
and two daughters. They are William,
Richard H., Edward j., Frederick, So
phia, and Isabel. In 1892 he separated
from his first wife, marrying Miss Elean-
or Boynton in 1894. He recently bought
the Garnsey residence, on West Wash
ington street, and was living there up
to the time he started for the mine.
