THE SAFFRON PLAGUE.
New Orleans Continues Apparent.
ly Free From Contagion.
THE EXCITEMENT RAPIDLY DYING OUT.
A Fatal Case of Fever at Ocean Springs,
an Autopsy on the Subject of Which
VIII Determine the Character
Of the Epidemic.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 8, 9,--Sheray Sey-
mour died at | n, N. at Ocean Springs
of the prevailing fever, AS soon as
his death was reported arrangements
were made to hold an autopsy, begin
ming at nine o'clock, Doctors Murray,
Carter and Wasdin, of the marine hos
pital service, and Doctors Lehman,
Dunn, Cant and Bailey were present
1t is confidently expected that this
autopsy will completely determine the
character of the disease that is prevail
ing at the springs, as the case of Sey-
mour is probably fair type of all the
fever cases there.
The excitement in New Orleans is
rapidly dying out, but deep in terest is
being taken in the situation on the
coast, When the board of health office
opened and got down to work, it had
no new cases nor suspicious cases TO re-
port as having occurred in New Or
leans. Details for canvassing the city
have been so systematized now that no
section is left unattended and every
case Of fever no matter how triiiing,
is receiving the earnest attention
of the board. Much qualification
is exercised over the appointment
of DR., Rudolph Matas as the
head of the special committee repre-
senting the physicians OF the city to
cooperate with the officials Of the
board of health.
Morning trains from the coast towns
| brought few passengers There is nc
| longer any travel out of the city to the
coast towns, and verybody who intend
ed to return to New Orleans has al
ready turned up. Dr. Salomon's rep or
as to the two cases of yellow teve
at Scranton is considered reliable, an'
DIR. Salomon has agreed to communl
cate with the local physicians there t
endeavor to locate the cases. DR.. Sale
mon SAYS the fever is yellow jack bu
of mild kind. Rigid quarantine wi
be enforced against scranton. Ih
government experts will be asked to &
there to determine the character of tn
disease. DR.. SalomOn has had muc
experience, and was for many yeal
secretary of the board and much col
fidence is felt in his knowledge OF III
symptoms of yellow fever.
More reports reach the city OF IL
hardships which the people in tn
ouarantined towns are suffering. The
find difficulty in getting provisions an
other supplies, and are registering
large-sized kick against the restri
tions The authorities are endeavo
ing to find some means of helping the
out of their difficulties.
No new cases are reported at BlloS
The people are anxiously awaiting II
arrival of Doctors Guiteras, Murr'
and Carter. They will be perfect
satisfied with their diagnosis. d
Tacltett, who went to Perkinston
visit DR.. Sheedy, who has been in
tendance on patients at Ocean Spring

English for Catholics.

Information of an important church rul-
ing at Rene was received in this country
recently.
The decision which has reference to par
ishes made up of foreigners, is as follows
1. Children born in America of foreign
parents, whose native language is not the
English, are not obliged when Of age, to
beco me members of the parish to which
their parents belong but they have the
right to join parish in which the language
of the country-that is, English-is used.
2. Catholics not born in America, brt
kno wing the English language, have the
right Of becoming members OF the parish II
which English is in use, and they can moi
be compelled to submit themselves to the
jurisdiction of the rector Of church built
for people who continue to speak the Ian
guage of foreign country.
The evident purpose at Rome is to make
English the language of the American
church as speedily as possible, and thus to
encourage the development Of spirit ol
more perfect union among the members Of
the Catholic faith.
Parishes in which foreign language is
used are tolerated as temporary institu-
tlons, which will disappear as soon as the
conditions making their erection expedien1
will have passed away.

Buried Alive,

Details have been received in this coun-
try of the self immolation of q number of
the tanatical followers of Raskolniki in
Russia.
More than "a bodies of persons who
were buried alive have been recovered
from series of pits near Tirespol. The
sect is a survival of the old dissenters, who
were prosecuted in Russia for two centu-
ries. Their treatment was worst under
Empress Sophia, when thousands of them
we're knouted by the state. The result
was that they became fercely fanatical and
invented doctrine of salvation by martyr
dom. They are now practising self-immo-
lotion.
Six bodies were accidentally discovered
on the premises of Feodore Kovaleff, who
confessed that he had walled up in his Gel
lar nine living persons, including his wife
and two young children. He further ad-
mitted that he had buried the other six,
while still alive, in specially excavateS
pit eight feet deep. Kovalef declares that
all these were voluntary victims.
In an adjoining garden, belonging to
Matvei Sukula, four bodies were discov-
cred in pit Sukula says that these were
buried alive at their own request.

Disturb the Peace,

The Booth Tucker salvation army quar-
ters in New York have been declared a
public nuisance. Residents in vicinity of
the barracks entered complaint because
the salvationists made such racket by
shouting and drum beating that they could
not sleep nights.
The judge in his charge to the jury said /:
"It does not matter whether these serv-
ices consisted of prayer, music, and song ;
if you decide that the community was DIS
turbed you must find the defendant guilty.
The defendant is not here on trial for a
religious affair. Did the services annoy
and disturb the community? That is the
question, but the defendant must be given
the benefit of any doubt that may arise in
your minds. The first question to be con-
sidered is whether it was public or pri-
vate nuisance, if it was nuisance. 1t you
believe these people were holding quiet
meetings in their house of worship you
must acquit tie defendant"

Salary Refused.

Judge L. H. Thompson has handed
down a decision in the case against Isaac
N. Chase, former states attorney of
Franklin county, in which he refuses to
grant Mr.. Chase certificate for his salary
for the last six months of bis tenure of Of
fee. This decision was rendered on the
grounds that the judge did not find on the
evidence presented that Mr.. Chase had
performed the duties of the office. T e
hearing in this case was held in St. IAlbans
on April 6 before Judge Thompson when
specific charges were made against At
torney Chase by Olin Merrill of Enosburg
Falls concerning the administration of the
prohibitory law in that village. So MI
Chase is minus 5000 of his salary.
The decision is bated on the following
Vermont statute.
1.-The annual salaries of the states at
torneys, payable semi-annually, upon
certificate of The presiding Judge of the
county court last holden that the office
has been faithfully administrated, and
which shall be in lieu of all other fees and

TOMATO PLANTS
POINTERS.

The late N. Monroe never gave me
any ofthe secrets of plant growing, for
there are none, but he did give me
letter to his most particular customers
-statin9- that be was. out Of the business M
with as good plants as he had euer seen.
And this letter was given me after
personal inspection of all the plants IN
toa1n. For 10 years l have never failed
to receive large orders for plants from
these customers, whose names Mr..
Monroe gave me.
The largest crop of ripe tomatoes ever
grown, SO far as can be learned, was
grown at "Mapledell Farm" and MIR.
HaIladay grew the plants for them.
Last season some of our would-be COM
petitors, either through ignorance or
pure cussedness, sold as "Halladay's
Imperiap' a variety so inferior that we
have been obliged to adopt some plan
whereby our friends may be sure to get
what they want. If you want the pure
"Imperial" and the best grown and
'ripened of" plants you will find them
only in the boxes with the name and
portrait of the originator. Don't fail
to ask for the treatise which gives the
latest and best methods for growing,
training and fertilizing the tomato. 1t
is worth ten times the cost of the
plants.

Multiplicity of CoIonels.

Some persons were inclined to poke tun
at the governor of Vermont when he ap-
pointed IA colonels to be members of bis
personal staff. But staff of IA is nowhere
by the side Of the personal staffs of the
governors of some of the southern states
Thus Gov. Atkinson of Georgia has no less
than 81 colonels on his staff The governor
who preceded Mr. Atkinson had 45 full
fedged colonies and the man who preceded
him had about the same number; but Gov.
Atkinson had both campaign for re-elec-
ton as governor and fight tor the United
States senatorship on his hands during his
first administration and it necessitated
more colonies. Still many of the citizens
OF Georgia think that some limit should be
set to the number of "fresh- water, ,colonels
and they incline to the opinion that 81 is
one too many.-Free Press.
