YELLOW FEVER SPREADS

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. q, 1S97.-The
fever situation here continues monoton-
ously the same. At the Board of Health
meeting at 10 o'clock today there had
been reported IS new cases and two
deaths. New cases are being reported
from all quarters of the city and the
reason seems to lie IN the fact that the
weather is peculiarly adapted to the de-
velopment of the disease.
Two Catholic priests, who were re-
ported as i'll last night are doing well.

Pennsylvania Railroad Company this
morning started to run the regular S:45
O'Clock express to Philadelphia, having
decided to risk a run across the meadows

stalled. TIL tracks were fairly matted
with the seaweed, besides being covered
with water and mud. The passengers
agreed to wait until the tracks were
cleared. Big gangs of workmen are la
boring to clear the way from Absecon out.
The railroad officials hope to move the
train some time this afternoon.

river.

Editor Morning News: My attention
has been called to the communication Of
Charles V. Chaplin. superintendent of
health of Prudence, r. l., in your issue
of Nov. y.
DR., Chaplin Is obviously not familiar
with the conditions at SaVannah. They
are not at all like thosesat Providence
which know very well.
The very foul estuary in the heart of
that city is subjected to a rise and fall of
tide averaging ITO feet, but 1t has no
storage room for tide water above the
point at which sewage is
admitted. There is, therefore, no
tidal flushing of this elongated
basin. The small stream entering 1t from
it's inland end hardly delivers as much
water in a whole day as flows past your
city exchange in one minute Q,J00,0O0 cubic
feet-11, $4,000 gallons).
If the Savannah river ran through Prov
idence the sewage of that city CS2,000 in
1890 would make no show in it.

The street railway question will come
up. Alderman WHY'S ordinance regulat-

has requested a hearing before the ordi-

reason they cannot comply with the re-

also expected to make a report though it
will hardly be able to give estimates of the
cost of a lighting plant as the blue prints

PLEA FOR A HELPING HAND.
The Odd Fellows Deserve Assistance
From the Public.


Editor Morning News: The hearts of the
people of Savannah should go out in warm
sympathy to the Odd Fellows in their time
of need. When war and pestilences de-
yastated our homes and sorrow bent its
dismal form at every fireside, the Odd
Fellows of this city were treading their
weary rounds amongst the sorrowing, the
stricken and the dying. Many times dur
ing these days of misery and nights of
despair have met their committees COM
forting the sick, helping the hungry, sooth-
ing the pillows of the dying, and bring
ing charity and love to the homes left
desolate by the Reaper's hand. 1t is not
their fault that they are in financial trou-
BILE. Not long ago their beautiful hall was
burned to the ground by the same wild
hurricane Of fire that swept from Weed 5
store on Broughton street to Chippewa
square and consumed in its fury so many
valuable buildings, not even sparing the
grand old Presbyterian church and its
beautiful chapel With all these losses the
order struggled bravely on until the panic
of 1898 caught them in it's destructive
grasp. Who has not a tale of sorrow con-
corning the wrecks of all kinds resulting
from that direful calamity Failing bust
ness, empty stores, loss of income, fall
ure of prospects,, membership and reve-
nues from dues cut down by the hard
tmesl Hundreds of the order in straight
ened circumstances needing heip-all these
troubles plead aloud for help to an order
whose sole purpose Is that of doing good
to our fellow beings. Every dollar con-
tributed to protect this order from harm
is a dollar given to preserve and assist
that one order which from its revenues
devotes a greater proportion to real char
ity than any other order in existence
Money thus given is not wasted, but
brings its return blessings in the con-
seriousness of having helped to save and
continue in its good work one of the most
commendable charities in our community
Rut few more days and their bazaar will
oe over. Step forward, brethren of Sa-
vannah, and give them helping hand.

nah and w. N. Hayward, Jr, of South
Carolina, have entered copartnership in
the. Southern Law Bureau, with offices
at 206 Bryan street, west. Such an in
stitution is a new thing in the south, but
in the large cities of the north and west
similar bureaus have been in operation for
many years. The object is to give legal
advice on ordinary business matters to
patrons, and in case any legal business is
to be transacted, the bureau then charges
q fee. The proposed advice is not under
stood to include investigation of judg-
ments, land titles or any court records
The bureau does propose, however, to
give advice on the details of practice in
other states.

Fabulous story of the Gems In the

Who has not heard Of the Persian jewels

wealth unequaled in the world. Nowhere
are such treasures. But nowhere, also, Is
there such an accumulation of rubbish.

refer only to the treasures. Down each
side of the room were chairs entirely COW
cred with sheeted gold, and at intervals
were tables of gold, nailed, ] shuddered 10

tacks! e.
At the far end of the room was the Won

Whether it is one OF the seven thrones of
the great mogul, and was brought from
Delhi, L don't know. But it is certainly
the most costly ornament that the eye Of
man can look upon. l inspected 1t most
carefully. 1t is entirely of silver, a great
camp bed structure, but modelled in lovely
designs. 1t is incrusted from end to end
and from top to bottom with diamonds

shah sits is edged with precious stones

CROWDS AT THE. CIRCUS.
CoOper's Show Under Packed Tents
Last Night.

Cooper's circus gave two performances
yesterday under its tents at Bolton and
East Broad streets to large crowds. Last
night the tent was packed. The show will
be here to-day and tomorrow, giving two
performances each day-matinees at 2:3O
o'clock and night performances at 8
o'clock. The show is a trained animal
and acrobatic entertainment, with one ring
all that any circus-goer can well watch
at one time. Those who have seen il in
past seasons go every time the show comes
along. This is the best recommendation
that it could have.
