FEVER RECORD-BREAi<ER.
Another Such Day at New Orie"ns-
Death Rate still Small.

y "
had proved a record-breaker, both as TO
the number of new cases-SS-and as to
the number of deaths-5-that had been
reported The increase Of cases to-day
was not unexpected. The weather mas
been warm during the afternoon and
the large territory the Board of Health
has to cover makes perfect scrutiny I'M
possible. Germs are being distributed,
which, il the total number Of cases were
fewer, would easily be restrained. While
the number of cases under treatment to-
day is In the neighborhood OF 2JO, there
are many houses which have not yet peen
disinfected. but in which the patients
have been declared we'll. Less restraint
than usual is imposed on the inmates OF
such premises, and the result mas Deen
that the number of focf has been
increased, but the total death-rate Is sun
small in proportion to the NUMBER OIL
cases. This is the record to-day:
