THE BEST KNOWN FACE.
One Hundred Likenesscs OF Queen victo
ria Tor Every Living Person.

One Hundred Likenesscs OF Queen yicto-
ria Tor Every Living Person.
No man CT woman who ever lived has
had his or her features reproduced Of
tener than her majesty the queen, says
the Boston Herald. The number Of &C.
tual photographs Of her majesty in ex-
istence cannot be recorded, and there are
besides millions Of reproductions Take
the number of stamps sold in the United
Kingdom during the queens reign. The
number Of articles passing through Eng
lsh, Scotch, Welsh and Irish postoffices
in recent year was nearly 5000, 900,
and, though, Of course, that figure need
not be taken as an average, it is not 60
ing beyond the mark to say that since
the accession Of the queen over 60, OOO, 4.
600, OCO postal dispatches have passed
through the postoffices of Great Britain.
Every one of these would bear at least
one stamp and many Of them two or
three. and every stamp bears the image
of the queen. Eighty thousand million
images of her majesty must have gone
through the POST during her record reign.
Then the record of the mint is by no
means a small one since the coronation.
1t is estimated that about 6, 900, 00O, 900
coins in gold, silver and bronze have
passed through the hands of her majes-
tvs subjects, each coin bearing the fea-
lures of the sovereign. Her image has
been reproduced often enough to present
100 licensees to every man, woman and
child on the globe. Without doubt the
queens is the best known face in the
world

New Orleans. Sept. 1s.-The fever sit
uation in New Orleans yesterday as
sumed somewhat more serious aspect
than at any time since Sunday, when
six Of the st. Claude cases were de-
clared to be yellow fever. At O'Clock
last evening the board of health Of
ficially announced the appearance Of
eight new cases, and OF these one death,
that of Zena Brauner. At the Office of
the board of health the reports were
considered somewhat surprising and dis
appointing. The situation had so ma
terially improved Thursday night that
IT was felt that pretty much the worst
had come, and that conditions would
improve. Thursday. however, was one
OF the hottest days of the month, and
as yellow fever thrives in that charao-
ter of weather there seems to have
been rapid development of germs. The
physicians still feel that there is much
that is satisfactory in the situation.
One Fact That Is Significant.
1t is true that the new cases represen:
the extreme upper, the extreme lower
and central portions of the city, bu.
there has been no serious spread from
the original foci, and the opinion is still
expressed that the disease may be con-
trolled and that there is no immincn 1T
danger Of an epidemic. Secretary Pat
ton, Of the board. said last evening:
Fhe appearance of eight cases today
Is not necessarily alarming. / said thre.
evenings ago that the prospects seemed
to point to the development here of az
least fifty cases as a result of constan:
intercourse we have been having with
the infected towns on the gulf coast an,
the fact that promiscuous throng of
some 700 or 500 people had FASTENED into
the city on the Monday evening fol-
lowing the declaration of the Ocean
Springs sickness to be yellow fever.
Takes a Hopeful View.
we have had now twenty-eight
cases and two deaths. The majority OF
the remaining cases are improving II
IS still quite likely that there will ap-
pear numerous cases in New Orleans.

the chances of disastrous epidemic are
