Yellow Fever Facts.
WaShin gtou post.

II ID III Seitspll@ SUCH us lne pres
ent that we find information by
Wholesale and pick up wisdom in
nuggets. Here is an illustration
taken from the New York
World:
The important facts about yell
low fever are these:
''The yellow fever germ cannot
become active except in tenn
perature Of at least 70-3ome ex-
perts say 60-degrees Fahrenheit,
maintained for at least ten
days.
"At this season no such tenn
perature is likely to be maintained
fcr SO long q time even in New
Orleans. Further north it wouG
be phenomenal.
"Again, the first sharp frost al
ways kills yellow fever, and al
though few people at the North
realize the fact, sharp frosts near
lY always occur at the south in
Oetober, and usually before the
middle Of that month.
''There is not the slightest dan
ger of a disastrous outbreak Of
yellow fever anywhere in this coun-
try during what remains of the
year 1897"
These are the New York World
facts. Now for a few historical
facts. The official report of the
president Of the Louisiana board
of health gives the following sta
tistics touching the yellow fever
epidemic Of 1878 in the city of
New Orleans. The first death oc-
CURED in May. There were only
two. In June, the fever seemed
to have disappeared entirely.
There were no cases and no deaths.
| About the 10th of July the fever
declared itself. That month
showed a death list of so. In Au-
gust there We're G74 deaths, in
September there were 1893, in
October. 1,044, in November, 90.
and III December, 3. The total
mortality from yellow fever that
year was 4,056. The World says
that frost always "kills' yellow
fever, and that sharp frosts al
ways occur in that region in Octo-
ber-usually before the middle OF
the month. Yet New Orleans had
1,O44 deaths from yellow fever
in October 1878, and 20 in Novem.
Der. What, then becomes Of these
important facts?" There were
fFosts in New Orleans during the
latter part Of October and through.
out the month of November. Tha,

One of the most formidable
epidemics ever known in southern
louisiana was that Of 1867 and i
made its appearance-outside d
New Orleans-about this time OF
the year. 1t ravaged the whole

PRESIDENT CANYONS BIRTHDAY.

Today, January IL, is the anniversary
OF the olrth OF President George Q
Cannon, and the event lie being quietly
celebrated by a gathering OF the family
this afternoon at the Cannon home.
The occasion is one on which not
only the people Of these mountain
wales, but the Latter-day Saints
everywhere, as well RS very many
not numbered with tho Church,
Will feel to felicitate Brother Cannon,
ana sincerely wish him many more
years OF usefulness and happiness
among the people. President Can.
non's whole life has been one OF
energetic, earnest endeavOr to bless his
fellow man, to msintnin and establish
truth, righteousness and peace upon
the earth. In early life his lot was
cast with the people who settled Utah,
and he came to this valley tho year the
Pioneers reached here. During the
now almost roundabout half century
eince his arrival in Utah he has taken
prominent part In all that peftaineu
to the welfare of the people in this
region OF country, AMI still lie preserved
in his active lab1rs. For itself and for
the body of the people who have been
associated with President Cannon
directly or indirectly, and who esteem
and love him for the force, the zeal,
the integrity, and the gentleness and
kindness that have characterized q
career OF marked usefulness, the NEWS
extends heartiest wishes to him for
many years yet of health, prosperity
and happiness, and that the blessings
OF God will continue to abide with him
in the holy calling OF devoted Apos-
tie Of Jesus in the latter.dsy dispensa-
ton OF the Gospel. t

THE DIZZY SIREEIS.


The filthy condition Of the streets IN
the paved district OF the city ought to
bring the blush OF shame, il that were
possible. to those responsible for such u
condition. The refuse which has bee II
allowed to accumulate on the sire,
pavements indicates an utter careless
ness OF appearances, az well as
a disregard for the discomfort
and the unhealthy condition caused
by such unolea linees, not ut all credita.
BILE. TIE situation has become SO bad on
the principal street in the city, that this
morning one OF the large mercantile
institutions could not longer endure
the unpleasant sight, sent company
of Its employees out armei with
hrooms, anu had the street swept az far
as the car tracks. II looks as though q
recent San Francisco incident, when
the merchants combined and formed u
street cleaning association which kept
the pavements clean, would be o
worthy example for Salt Lake
merchants, IN the absence OF any
other means OF getting the work done.
