Cases In That City Getting Dstter-Thsir
AlIment similar 10 the Fever.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept, l0,-The
announcement OF twelve Suspicious
cases on one square in the city and that
three cases had developed since the
death of young lady who had come
from ocean Springs, created large
measure of alarm in the public mind
early in the day, but this was allayed
when the facts became known. II devel-
oped that man had died as a result OF
excessive dissipation instead OF yellow
fever as reported In the very square In
which the suspicious cases had been
found, At nightfall all reports received
by Dr. olphant were so favorable that
renewed confidence was infused In the
officials Of the board. Just before the
board met, DR.. Ollphant said TO a re-
porter Of the Associated Press:
"There is u marked improvement In
the situation In the state. ! may state
unofllcially that all the patients H. the
st. Claude street square are better. 1
have not received a report from the
board Of experts, but 1 have learned
from our inspector who is assigned to
the premises. that apparently none Of
the patients is at present In danger, We
are still CHASING these cases as suspi-
cious because their fever is similar to
that which has prevailed at Ocean
Springs. They have not been declared
yellow fever, but they are under com
plete surveillance and the board of
health is giving Its undivided attention
and has fully Isolated them. am able
to say that TO other case has been
brought to our attention in the city of

Drug Stores ut Biloxi KunuInE out OF
MedIcInes-An Urgent Appeal.

Medicines-An Urgent Appeal.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept, 1O.-Dis-
patches from Biloxi this morning say
the trouble that Is becoming unbearable
is that the drug stores are running out
of medicine and no frelghts have been
received although ordered In ample
time. President Lemon. of the Biloxi
board, has wired President oliphant
urging him in behalf of humanity to see
that requests for drugs shall be prompt
ly attended to,
The Biloxi board OF health this morn
ing issued a notice to all physicians that
they must report within twenty-four
hours to that body all infectious, conta
glous and suspicious cases that ore met
with In their practice, under a penalty
OF 500 fine. There were otherwise no
serious developments at Biloxi this
morning and all prevailing cases Of few
er were reported to be convalescent.
Ocean Springs reports one new case,
and one suspicious case this morning,
but no deaths have occurred since that
of the man, Seymour reported yester-
day, An urgent request, however, has
been forwarded TO New orleans for yell
low fever nurses. a corps of Mt least
five trained nurses Is absolutely needed.
because Il Is said that many OF the sick
at Ocean Springs are not receiving the
attention which only experienced yellow
fever nurses can give. New orleans will
probably find some way of meeting the
request, but II 1t is unable to do so, the
federal government Will probably be
appealed TO-
The Catholic College at Bay St. Louis
has been closed and nearly two hundred
boys were sent to New orleans last
night. There Is no sickness, but the pro-
fessors considered It wise to take time
by the foreock aud not run any risks.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has established a telegraph line at
the Rlgolets In order TO facilitate the
physicians stationed there in communl-
eating with citizens.

Citizens meetings were held IN var
lous parts OF the city tonight. Opinion
was divided about the responsibility for
the shooting At one meeting held In
Van Wickle's Casino, attended by ban
kers. coal operators and prominent busi-
ness men, resolutions were adopted,
calling on Governor Hastings to send

At other meetings attended by thou

against bringing the troops here and 1t

seen in America before. Certainly,
says the New York Herald, it is Gu
rious creature, and, to all appearances,
ii has the four eyes it's owner claims.
They nre set in pnirs high on tho
sides Of the head, one "eye" of each
pair looking straight mp and the other
sideways, each pair being fixed in II
sort Of fleshy protuberance that gives
the fnny monster most extraordinary
appearance.
The thing was imported from China
II is n species of goldfish and is con-
fessedly sort Of manufactured freak.
The story told by the dealer to account
for the extra pair of eyes is sufficiently
marvellous to strain the beiving pow
ers Of the most credulous. He says
the Orientals who breed these fish
place them i'll tank which is kept in
absolute darkness, save that from u
lens or mirror placed above the tank
one single tiny ray of light is shot
down into the water. The fish natur-
ally seeks this ray of light and spends
most of his time where it falls verti-
cally upon his head In time, the
dealer continues, the extra pair of eyes
develop.
Now, this is fish story, indeed,
and no reader need believe it unless
he wishes to. 1t is given here simply
to explain the curious freak which the
New York dealer has for sale, and
which he says would be cheap at 800
of any mans money.
Sin fact, >" he continued, 'three New
Workers have already paid 800 apiece
for three other fishes of this same
type"
The Chinese have n curious name for
this fish The nearest approach to an
English translation of this name is
celestial telescope" the word "tele-
scope" being used because of the pro-
tuberant structure of the eyes.
Besides the double complement Of
eyes, the celestial telescope has num-
ber of other curious characteristics
It's body is short and chunked and its
tail is very long, perhaps twice or
thrice as long as the body; more than
that, it it so divided as to seem to be
four tails instead of one.
But, notwithstanding this surplus
of apparent propelling power, the
celestial telescope is an exceedingly
slow antfawkward fish in getting about,
and seems TO be even more stupid than
most other fish. For instance, it will
not feed at all as other fish do; its food
must be placed in the water on the end
of little straw or stick, in such way
that it can see it plainly, and then the
food must be held in position long
time before it can be induced to eat

are opened the entire exterior may he

cheaper in the long run than wooden
ones, although their initial cost is CON
siderably greater. But if wooden tubs
must be used, be sure they are put in
most carefully, as under the best of
contractors they give more trouble
than any other kitchen fillment.
Above all things do not stint money

be constantly scrubbed, and if the
