CURE FOR YELLOW FEVER.
Kentucky Physician Advises Infusion
of African Blood Into Veins of
the Patient.

Sebree. KY, Oct. 5.-Dr. Guiteras'
statement that New Orleans negroes
have yellow fever with facility, though
in very mild form, is true.
DR.. A. r. Jenkins of Kentucky claims
that the pure bloOded African has alb
sOlute protection. The American negro
loses this protection in proportion to
his amalgamatiOn, acclimatiOn, etc. He
believes that if the New Orleans negro
blood were transferred in severe cases
it might save life.
He believes that in the blacks blood
serum or cells resides an immunizing
antitOxin that will protect the white
against taking the disease and that this
vital source is far more likely to give
the means of saving southern lives,
shipping and commerce than the arti-
fetal beullion culture of Berlin or
Paris, and that one attack protects
against repetition.
Science, he says, should long since
have called attention to some form of
human antitOxin, either from whites
immunized by the previous attack or
from the black immunized by ages of
environment.

FIGHTING HOG CHOLERA.
The St Paul Has an Expert on the
Road All the Time.

Dubuque, Ia, Oct. 5.-The c.. NJ. &
st. P. and the c., B. & Q. railways are
still experimenting with a view to
checking hog cholera. which has been
so seriously dici1nating the herds along
their lines as to reduce the SHIPMENTS
materially.
That success has attended their eff
forts IS shown by letters from scores of
farmers and hog raisers who have fol-
lowed the advice and used the rene
dies recommended by the agents Of the
railroad companies.
One of the most active agents in the
effort to lessen the death rate among
hogs is Mr.. S. J. Clemens, division
freight agent of the c., NJ & St p
whose headquarters is at Dubuque He
said today:
"A thorough investigation at various
points into the cause of hog cholera
leads me to believe that the disease is
caused mainly by irregular and i'm
proper feeding. The disease is more
prevalent in the fall when farmers com
mence to gather the animals for mark
ct than at any other time Hogs are
then taken from the pasture, crowded
into pens and permitted to gorge them
selves with grain. If care were taken
in changing from one grain to another
and in the quantity, given at regular
times, 1 believe that what is called hog
cholera, would be prevented"
The c., NJ. & St P. has an expert on
the road all the time advising farmers
and endeaVOring to demonstrate expert
mentally that hog cholera is not ca used
by germ as is popularity supposed.

Tacoma, Wn., Oct 5-The steamer
Victoria brings news of the most dis
astrous floods that have visited China
for many years. Sixty villages near
Tung Chou, containing over 10000 in
habitants have been destroyed by
floods and the people drowned or forced
to flee. There is no means of finding
out how many thousands have been
drowned, but the number is estimated
by Chinese authorities at $4,000 to TO-
600.
The flooded district is within u miles
of Pel1ln, the capital of China AS a
rule Chinese officials make very little
stir when a calamity like this hap

the attention of the emperor who has
ordered that all possible relief be Civ

Survivors from the village nearest
Pekin have been allowed such shelter
as they can find in the city walls, but
thousands are without protection
against the rain which continues to
fall
The distress of these people is most
ritiable. Public spirited and wealthy
men of Pekin and Tung Chou are ac-
lively assisting the authorities in pro-
Nidlng them with food. The unusual
rains began July "A and continued to
August IS
The crops in the flooded district were
destroyed The projects, local magis-
trates and people of flooded district

driven out of their homes
Early in September high officials of
Pekln and Tien Sin suddenly forbade
the slaughter of cattle, their object be
ing TO appeaSe the wrath of God and
stop the rains. ProclamatfOns to this
effect were posted. The result was to
cut off the entire meat supply. which
led foreign cOnsuls to protest against
the provision and to report the situa-

of Chamberlain Cough Remedy and
the many good recommendations in

a first trial of the medicine. To say that
it was satisfactory in its results, is

AUTOMATIC SEALER.
Ingenious Device Successfully Tried
in the Treasury Department

Washington, Oct. 5.-Quite an i'm
portant test of a labOr-saving device
has been in progress at the treasury
department this week. The device is
an automatic envelope sealer, and
shows what American ingenuity can
accomplish in the way of mechanics.
Josiah Dupaw, an employee of the treas
ury department. knowing the enormous
mount of mail sent out daily, cOnceiv-
ed the idea of a machine that would
seal and envelopes automatically, and
this week the machine was completed
and ready to be tested. Twenty
thousand interest checks were to be
sent out from the loan division, and
the machine was tried on that mail
first.
The sealer is something on the order
of a printing press, the envelopes being
fed in. The machine mOistens, folds
and seals the envelopes automatically.
A very little practice on the part of
the operator developed a capacity of
$50 per minute. The department Off
Gals are delighted with the showing
made by the machine. The device is
owned by Josiah Dupaw, of Vermont,
and Capt. L. w. Clifford, a Pennsyl-
Vanian.

London, Oct. 5.-A leading London dip
lomat, discussing the crisis in Spanish af-
fairs. said to a representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press today
Il believe the change in the Spanish
cabinet will result in the recall of Cap
tain General Weyler from Cuba and the
substitution of Marshal Blanco for him,
because Sagasta personally dislikes Wey-
Ter.
''Sagasta will probably discuss Cuba
with General Woodford in a more concil-
iatory manner than his predecessor, but
he is not likely to do more than that.
Sagasta has been informed on authority
that the Cubans will accept autonomy
and the withdrawal of the Spanish troops,
although they have protested that they
will not do So but I doubt if Spain will
consent to these measures"

New fOfk, oct. 3l.-A mourning
city, a grief-stricken people, today
showed honor to the man who had fal.
len in the battle for what he believed
to be the right. Henry George. apostle
of the single tax, leader of the new JEFF
%fersonian democracy. stricken on the
eve Of election, was honored as no pri,
vate citizen of America was ever honor
ed before.
Public griefs have been many in the
great metropolis Of the western hemi.
sphere; many have been sincerely
mourned, but none save he who went
to the eternal rest after having served
his people as a leader of soldiers and as
chief executive of OF the land, had laid
at his bier such evidences Of public
grief. widespread sorrow and sincere
grief. as was laid at the bier of Henry
George.
No n would permit a reminder that
he had been a candidate for public
Office, and had been carrying on a Bit
ter warfare on those he believed we're
enemies of the public veal: no one re-
called the strong words Of denuncia-
ton that fell from his lips. while on the
political rostrum: he was remembered
only as a man who so loved the people
that he gave his life for them.
From the day when far in the night
the outward manifestation Of grief
lasted. thousands gazed upon the IA
miliar. beloved features, cold in death,
yet smiling serenely as in sleep. other
thousands heard stirring orations,
magnificent ~eulogies upon the martyr
dead. In every temple of God, wher-
ever men gathered to worship or gath
cred to hear lectures and philosophy
taught, garlands of praise were bestow-
ed upon the memory of the revered
dead.
In the vast auditorium where the
dead rested, inspired men, teachers Of
the faiths. Jews, Christians, Catholics
and Episcopalians, with hearts wrune
with pain, spoke words which cofessed-
ly fel! far short OF the great waves Of
emotion that sought to find utterance.
Not a dissenting voice was heard to
the declaration that Henry George was
a lover OF the people, who he believed
we're being oppressed and that he gave
his life that humanity might live.
The ~eulogies uttered. the day gone.
the streets became filled with people
who wished to see the funeral cortege
as it passed in solemn procession down
New York's greatest streets, thence
across Brooklyn bridge and through
Brooklyn's streets to the Brooklyn city
hall. There the public gave yer the
body to the family and the casket was
taken to the modest home in Fort Ham,
ilton, from which they will be borne to
their final resting place in Greenwood
tomorrow morning.
At the lowest estimate 125, 900 people
saw the casket as it wendell its way to
that point where the public was COM
PEELED to stand aside in reverence and
sympathy while the family claimed its
own.
