TYPHOID z4ND YELLOW JACK

The English town of Maidstone, in the county of Kent, has an cpl demic of typhoid fever which out classes in point of infection that which Yellow Jack is trying to fix on certain towns to the south of us. There have been 1900 cases of the fever at Maidstone, with a death rate of 3 per cent. and a daily in- crease of 120 cases. If the disease continues to spread at this rate it will have the whole town in bed within q week.
 The yellow fever record this year indicates that the disease in it's present state is not to be feared so much as typhoid. l t is not on y very mild, but spreads very slowly. Except in the little towns it has not reached the proportions of an epi. denic. At Biloxi there have been up to the close of yesterdays report 192 eases and z deaths; at Mobile, 8i cases and t2 deaths; at Edwards, 284 cases and 8 deaths; at New Orleans, 159 cases and 30 deaths. The figures for Ocean Springs are not at hand, but they show about the same results as the Biloxi report
 The death rate at Biloxi, Edwards and Ocean Springs has been about 3 per cent. at New Orleanes, II per cent, at Mobile, Il per cent.
 It will be observed that the two notoriously dirty cities have the heavier percentage of mortality. Perhaps a well-sewered and we'll kept city in which this fever should find lodgment, would have a death rate not exceeding , per cent, and possibly as low as per cent. But the fever would not be at all likely to spread ia such a city almost cer. tainly, it would not reach the pro- portions of an epidemic.
 No clean and severed city has ever had an epidemic of yellow fever Only dirt localities are liable, and the dirtier they are the more fatal the fever, other conditions being equal,
 So far the yellow fever of this year has not been nearly so fatal as typhoid or malarial levers, as we have them in this country.--Mem- phis Scimitar.

TRIAL OF SCHULTZ.
Damaging Testimony Given Against the
Prisoner by His Eldest Son..
Other Attempts at Murder.

Milford, June 1o-The trial of Her
man Paul Schulz, of New York, for the
murder of his wife, was resumed to-
day. A number of witnesses were ex-
amined, but the only important testi-
mony was that given by Charles, the
eldest son of the prisoner His was
one long story of i'll treatment from
the prisoner towards himself and his
mother. He said that Schulz had fire.
quently threatened to kill his mother
and that in 1893 they became so fright
ened that they had him arrested and
he was committed to prison for six
months. At the end of four months,
Mrs. Schulz relented and as a result
of her pleading Schulz was released.
Later, witness said, Schulz attempted
to kill her with a razor and when she
went to Shohola, 1T was to be in hid
ing from her husband.
The witness had no idea how his
father succeeded in locating his moth
er. Shortly before Schulz went to Sho-
hola he came to the witness and said
that he had inherited $35,000 from the
old country and intended to give 5000
to Mrs. Schulz and $1,000 to each of the
boys. The next time witness saw his
father was when Schulz told him that
his mother had committed suicide, and
that he the defendanD had felt so
badly that he would have killed him
self had 1t not been that little Paul
was with him at the time. Witness al
so said that his father told him at that
time that Mrs. Schulz had acted as if
she was insane on the night before her
death.
