IRlSH-AMERIcAN DAY.
The Celtic Sons of America in Force at the
 Centennial.
Special to The Age54Iera1d.

Special to The Age-aerald.
 Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 21.-This was Irish-Amerscan Day at the Centennial, and so far as an individual class ca1e- bration is concerned it was beyond any question the ,grandest in Tenneszee Cen- tenn2al history. Naturally, the bulk of the crowd of visitors was expected from the south, but yelI-sw fever and quar- antine ocoasioned much disappointment, not only to local managers of the affair. but to local Irish Americans generally.
 Birmingham was expected to have GerE a delegation of at least 250 strong, but the action elf Tboards Of health rsn- dered this impossible. As it was, those from that city and other Alabama, Louisiana, FIolGda and Mississippi points who were on hand slipped in, as it were Louisville had delegation of $50, includ- ing Hibe1rEan Knights. Memphis was represented by 1000. Chicago by 2OO5 The calculation is that S,Oee visiting Irdsh-Americsris were on hand.
 The orators of the day were John F. Finerty, of Chicago; Rev. George w. Pepper, of Cleveland, O.; Patrick Walsh, of Georgia; T. W. Wrenne, president of the Tennessee Irish-American society. and Oliver J. Timothy.
 The parade was a mile and half long. Floats and all characters of ve- hicles with thousands of footmen, made up the line of march, and Old Glory with Erin's green ground and Tyre were to be found everywhere.
 The handsomest of floats were those representing a ship with Commodore Jack Barry; Gen. Jackson en route to New Orleans. The Goddess of Liberty and maid or Erin city belonged to Irish Americans today.

 The situation here remains unchanged, with the exception that the confidence thorities to prevent the disease from reaching this section has been greatly strengthened. Business is rapidly re- viving, and within few days the city will be its former ssf. The officials are not relaxing in vigilance, nor will they do so until safety is assured.

ITS LUETGERT'S TIME NEXT
The State, After Many Days of
 Prosecution,
HAS NO FURTHER EVIDENCE
Attorney for the Defendant Will Make His introductory Talk Today-Says He Is
 Confident of a Victory.

Chicago, Sept. 21.lThe direct eyidsnce dn the Luetgert case is in and the prose- cution has rested. Shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon the last witness of the prosecution was heard. This wit ness was Mrs. Louise Miller Johnson She has been i'll for several weeks. Mrs Johnson testified that upon one occasion she saw Luetgert in rage chase his wife out of their house. The big sausage maker, the witness said, was armed with a revolver. He called his wife names and threatened to shoot, but did not. Ex-Judge Vincent did not cross-examine this witness at length When she left the stand States Attor- ney Deneen said:
 eff the court pleases the state rests.''
 There was a general movement in ths crowded room as the spectators glanced towards Luetgert and his counsel. Luetgert leaned forward and whispered to Judge Vincent The latter rose and made formal motion that the case be taken from the jury on the ground that the state had failed to make out a case
 Judge Tuthill promptly overruled the motion without argument.
 Then ex-Judgs Vincent stated that owing to the lateness of the hour he would like to postpone his opening ad- dress to the jury until tomorrow morn- ing. There was no objection to this, and an adjournment was taken.
 It required twen nty days for the pre- sentation of the evidence of the prose- cution. Ex-Judge Vincent tonight said the defense would present its side of the case in half that time.
 My address to the jury in opening will be short and directly to the point" he said. "We deny the murder. The corpus delicti has not been proved as the law requires. We will explain away all the evidence brought out here by the police department after months of investigation and manipulation. I do not care to give out in full our defense until we get started, but promise some startling developments before we are through

ONLY NINE CASES
 AT NEW ORLEANS
(contiued from First Page.l

(Contiued from First Page) and then returned to his office in the city hall, where he was seen by rep resentative of the Associated Press. In regard to the case pr. Starlxleoff said:
 T have made thorough examination of Trip, with Drs. Jordan and Decker. The analysis as presented ito me, makes the case to be one of ordinary intermit- tent fever. If it is yellow fever it is of a very mild type. There are none of those alarming symptoms, such as sup pression of the kidney functions and constipaition-t things that exist in yellow fever. Besides, the man had an appetite for breakfast. He looks yell Jewish and has a small fever like all malarial patients. Trip says his home is in Illinois, and that for several months he had been working on the dredge boat Alpha, near Cairo. He had been sick for several days. He boarded in the Cairo yards early Monday and came here When he left the box car hs went directly to the marine hospital.
 q shall have the patient sent to quar- antine, where Dr. Woodruff is in charge. and take all necessary precautions"
 Two hundred clerks with their fam ilbas, employed in the general offices of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad company,
 
 temporary headquarters of the road having been established in this city until the yellow fever has died out in the south.
 pr. Starkleoff was asked what would be the effect of so many people from the midst of the fever-stricken district coming into this city. He said he had no fear that any of them would spread the plague. At the worst there could only be spasmodic cases, and these would be quickly reported to the health department and promptly isolated. The doctor declared 1t was too cold here for sperad of the disease.
 pr. Palquin, secretary of the state board of health, received information today that two cases supposed to be yellow fever had developed on dredge- boat at Point Pleasant, Mo-, 100 miles below Cairo. It is not certain that the patients have yellow fever, but the ma rine hospital service surgeon is proceed ing on the assumption that they have.
 pr. Palaquin sent the following tele- gram to pr. Wyman, supervising sur geon general of the United States ma- rine hospital service, Washington:
 "What facilities has the marine hos pital service to deal with yellow fever in St. Louis? Do you recommend any action by the state board of health of Missouri to cooperate with your efforts or do you think the present regulations will prevent further spread of yellow fever?"
 Surgeon-General Wymau replied as follows:
 Recommend same course in St. Louis as was taken in 1878. Suggest that you look after Point Pleasant, Mo-, with Gef- erence to dredge boats there. Acting Assistant Surgeon Guiteras has left Cairo for Point Pleasant to investigate and take immediate measures. You should assist him.
 There was much indignation at the health department over the report from Chicago that there were ten cases of the fever in St. Louis.
 Dr. Starkleoff, who received a long dts- tanoe telephone inquiry from Chicago about it, said there was no founda ton whatever for such a rumon

MISSED.

I miss you, dear. in the springtime when Che
willows blossom Whitley,
When the sloe boughs bloom and bourgeon
and the blackbirds build and sing,
When over the sky of azure the white fringed
clouds pass lightly
When violets wake III the woodlands and the
corn blades freshly spring.
But l miss you, too, in summer when the
waves break on the shingle,
When the languid lilies perfume is waited
upon the breeze,
When creamy and pink and fragrant the roses
nod in the dingle,
When the kingcups turn the meadows to
glstening and golden seas.
And miss you more in autumn when in rus
Ting cornfields yellow
Reapers sing their lays of gladness, when the
plovers loudly call,
When the woods are gold emblazcned and the
apple orchards mellow,
And the bramble red and purple where the
ripened berries fall.
But most of all L miss you when the snow
flakes white are flying,
When the days are dark and dreary and the
nights are long and drear,
When through leafess forest branches winds
are sadly sobbing, signing,
Then it is think l miss you, oh, the most
of all, my dear!

SUNDAY THOUGHTS.

Never q sincere word was utterly lost
Never magnanimity fell to the ground,
Always the heart of man greets and &C
cepts it unexpectedly. A man passes for
what he is worth. What he is engraves
itself on his face, on his form, on his fea-
lures, in letters Of light which all men may
read but himself. Concealment avails
him nothing. There is confession in the
chances OF our eyes, in our smiles, in salu-
tations, and in the grasp of hands. His
sin mars all his good impression. Men do
not trust him; they know not why.-Em-
erson
