Ex-Gov. Warmoth and Others VIII Re-
ceive the Sieilian Immigrants, Arriv-
ing on the Chateau Yquein, on
Their Plantations.

New ORLEANS. Oct Z. Up to 1890
n IN. there had been IL new cases of
the prevailing fever reported to the
board of health. Two deaths had also
occurred up TO that hour. DIR. Carter,
of the marine hospital, told confer
ence at the sugar exchange that the
Formaldhyde generators would be used
here in the disinfection OF freights un-
til cold weather sets in in Mississip-
ri. Alabama and Arkansas. He
believes that as soon as the states have
frost the quarantine against New Or
leans will be raised, because yellow
fever germs will not thrive after frost,
and he looks for frost in those states
inside of 30 days, or considerably
earlier than il will be had in New Or
leans. The sugar and rice dealers will
embody DIR. Carriers views in circular
aud send it broadcast through the
three states mentioned.
Ex-Giov. Warmoth and several other
planters down the coast have practi-
caliy arranged to receive on their plan
tations the Sieilian immigrants, com
ing on the Chateau Yquem. The board
of health will consent, and the steam
ship agents are expected to.
Baton Rouge has quarantlned the
levee camps in her suburbs. La
Fourche parish has decided to receive
laborers to work on the sugar
plantations, providing they have I'M
dergone deteD ton at Fontain bleau or
some other station. Parishes of north
ern Louisiana are to confer and modify
their quarantine regulations in order
to permit the shipment of cotton to
New Orleans, and in order that proper
ly disinfected freight may be received
from this city.
General Manager Thorne of the
Texas * Pacific is in Louisiana and is
cooperating in this movement Gov.
Foster has rendered his assistance in
the premises.
Alexandra declares that fumigated
car, are safe to receive, and her action
will have good effect on the other
parishes of northern Louisiana.
Ocean Springs is free from fever now,
and refugees are flocking into that
town. The result will be rigid quar-
antine by Ocean Springs against in

Twentieth Annual Pageant of His Mystic
Majesty at st. Louis.


Majesty at st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. THE Yelled Prophet
received royal welcome on his TWEEN
tieth annual visit to ST. Louis Tuesday
night.
Loud and long were the cheers that
greeted him and his brilliant retinue
as the grand pageant moved through
the streets of the city. He came as if
in IA blaze Of glory. amid the blare of
trumpets and the beating of drums,
and for upward of two hours gladdened
the hearts of his loyal subjects with
music and pictured song.
From his high seat on the dragons
back his majesty looked pleasantly
down at the admiring throng, and sig
nified his satisfaction at the reception
accorded him. 1t was, indeed, grand
pageant that followed the festival king
through the streets from the den to the
merchants exchange, and the thou
sands that witnessed it were well re-
paid for any Inconvenience endured.
The theme of the floats was an il
lustration of popular songs that
was readily understood, and APP
pealed to the nobler sentiments of all.
To the old was recalled the pleas
antries of bygone days, and the young
We're reminded of the songs that moth
er used to sing. The sentimental and
the patriotic were there portrayed, and
the consensus of opinion was that it
was, without doubt. the grandest page
ant that has yet attended the Yelled
Prophet on his visits to st. Louis.
The nights festivities wound up with
the grand ball at the merchants ex-
change, and was, as usual, grand and
brilliant crush. Jane Dorothy For
dyce was queen of the ball.

had always been in the closed hours a place of
quiet. There was to be heard then always tho
sound of water running into the supply tanks
or into the tanks in which the fishes are kept,
where the water is kept always in circulation.
Occasionally there might be heard in one OF the
pools of the great room the splashing of fish; in
the corridor back of the tanks one might hear tho
swish of a fish jumping out of water; in the
great room, again, there was to be heard now
and then the dashing OF water when the seal in
its pool in sheer good spirits swan swiftly
about, or when, at feeding time. when looking
for its food. it jumped half out Of water; but the
impression, nevertheless, was always one Of
quiet. No animal sounds were heard then. save
only once when there were some bnllfrogs in the
Aquarium. Then there was heard occasionally
the croakinR of a buIlfrOg: but that seemed only

WATER SHOES.

tariff is that of manufacturing shoes for walking
on the water, carried on by a. J. Miller OF
Chelsea. As far as known, Mr.. Miller has no
rival in this or any other country, and as the
people at large have NOT yet been educated up to
the point where they need his shoes the de-
mnnd is not very brisk. The best known water
walkers are Cook and Oldricvc, and they are
customers OF Miller. who would like 10 arrange

The shoes are simple in construction, and %
arranged as to float whether the wearer Is right

tage. for II he wasn't right side up it would not
matter whether he foated or sank.
The shoes are practically little boats with fms

a half feet long and n foot wide and high, pointed
at the forward end and fiat top and bottom. 1t is
made OF cedar, backed with angle braces TO mako

the centre for the foot, which Ats in a water

which a combined wigglc and kick releases his
