In some of the northern newspapers, and
also in some of the commercial reports
sent out from northern cities, reference is
made TO the yellow fever in the SOUTH
as though the whole southern section had
suffered a visitation Of the scourge. This.
Of course, is not correct The states of
Virginia, North Carolina. South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida have been wholly ex-
empt from the fever. Southeastern Ala
bama and the whole of Tennessee save
Memphis have escaped the malady. Only
a small part of the south has had the fe-
yer, and that small part is on the Gulf Of
Mexico and in the Mississippi valley. The
principal foci of the fever have been as
far away from Charleston. Savannah and
jacksonville as New York is from these
cities. There has never been the least
danger Of infection from communication
with the southeastern section, and it is an
injustice to the Atlantic soaboard for the
northern papers and exchanges to continue

A correspondent of the Boston Journal
tells this story of Calvin S. Brice: A
friend of his had a scheme for building a
tramway across the White Pass to connect
with the lakes leading up to the Klondike
This man telegraphed Brice a description
of the project that fairly made the wires
glow. All he wanted was 100000 to put
the scheme through, and it was sure to
yield 100000 profit every month right from
the start. How much of the 10000 would
Brice take? By return wire came the
message: You needn't look any further
I'll take the whole of it. Pay for it out
of the first months earnings. Send on the

Justice is apparently moving with COM

The policeman was killed last Monday.
Before the week was out the matter had
been brought before the grand jury, and
an indictment found against three men
suspected of the crime. Should this rate

The bubonic plague continues to rage in
several districts in India. A new and
unusual menace has arisen in the Surat
district. The monkeys have been attacked
with the plague, and may spread it
abroad. The animals affected are being
trapped and isolated as rapidly as pos
sible, but it is thought a number of them
will escape into the wilds and carry the
plague with them.

From the Atlanta Journal Dem,

AS foot ball is now played the game in
which nobody is hurt is the exception. AS
a rule from one to half a dozen players
are taken off the field badly injured, and
often with broken bones.
Such a game does not develop men as
much as Il mars them. Ii is a species of
brutal conflict which should be abolished
and forbidden as much for the sake of
clean, manly athletics as for the sake of
humane considerations
