MERIDIAN QUARANTINE.
Passengers From Mobile Not Allowed to Enter
 the City,

Special to the Age-Herald.
 Meridian, Sept. 13.-The authoritative announcement of the appearance of yell low fever in Mobile and of several new eases in New Orleans and along the gulf coast had the effect of creating some excitement in this city. Several families have left their homes for the country and many more will depart, it is predicted tomorrow, though the au- thorities think such an exhibition of fear entirely unwarranted. The fact that there are quite a number of eases of dengue fever at Edwards guarded with suspicion, ard the health authorities will institute a thoroughly rigid quarantine and will stop trains on the Alabama and Vicksburg from entering Meridian. Rigid quarantine has been established against Mobile and New Orleans and conductors on trains are commanded to allow no persons from either place to enter the state of Mississippi under any circumstances.

 Case of Scarlet Fever.

Special to The Herald.
 Columbus, Miss, Sept 13.-It is re- ported throughout the state that there is yellow fever in Columbus. The re- port is untrue and entirely without foundation.

Some of the scarry sensationaDsts seeing yellow flag fly ing in front of the house where the pa- tient is kept isolated, started the report that it was yellow fever.
 There are fewer eases of sickness now than at the same season for many years past, and the strict quarantine regulations which are in force make it impossible for yellow fever to enter the city Columbus has no fears of the pre- vailing malady.

TIRE HINTS.
Carry Tire Tape, Chewing Gum. Postage Stamps
 and Plugs.

From the New Haven Palladium.
 puncture has been succ =ssfully seal ed by a postage stamp and tire tape.
 Chewing gum, carefully spread over a puncture and held fast by tire tape, has saved many a weary step.
 A leaky valve is quite beyond the stoutest and 'stickiest' tire tape ever made.
 The best remedy for side cut along the rim is a walk to the nearest 4ail- way station.
 Don't try to mend a No. 10 puncture with No. plug. It's tins and pa- tience thrown away.
 Instances are on record wherein a cyclist, without any other available remedy, filled his tire with water and thus rode home.
 Neither broken toothpicks nor match es make successful plugs. Don't believe the man who told you he mended a puncture in that mariner.
 A tire That jumps the rim can be kept in place, even if the rider has no ce- ment, by tying it tightly and initiating it after it is tied in position.
 Whselmen who live in states where the pine trees grow, and who do not chew gum or carry postage stamps. scrape rosin from the trees and mend the punctures with that.
 Court plaster, assisted by tire tape, will last for a time over a puncture. Some kinds of court plaster are quite porous, and, if used, will require many applications of a pump to the tire.
 Moral-Carry tire tape, chewing gum, postage stamps. and plugs whenever you are going out of sight of a r+pair shop. You can probably get water and sand on the way.
