NEW orleans am Right.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. Z, 1897.-It was
considerably after midnight this morning
when the Board of Health office was
closed for few hours and the tired ply
sicians went home to snatch a few hours
sleep. Up to that time, although the
widest publicity had been given to the
Gelpi case and the desire of the Board
was known that every suspicious case
should be promptly reported, no news was
received at the Office to, lead to the belief
that there existed a single case of yellow
fever in New Orleans. The office was re-
opened early this morning, but up to
nine o'clock no report was made of any
suspicious cases.
The Board will hold another meeting to-
day to act on quarantine regulations and
there will be informal conferences daily
while the scare lasts.

But it is pleasant 10 be able to record that the
